Today was an ok day. A bunch of stuff’s happened (or feels like it anyway), so I figure I’ll ramble for a bit. First of all, I should be going to bed. I’ve had minimul sleep lately, due to going to bed far later than I should be in my old age, but alas, I should update, and have a coke in me so I’m feeling perky (or rather, not fast asleep).
My buddy Cat5 scored some boxen (p166mmx, 32mb ram, 15″ moniters, 2G HDs, built in networking/video) from work for cheap, and I got one! (for future payment when I have more than $RENT+$100 to my name). Best thing is the moniter is better than mine and though the box is yet untested, the moniter has replaced my old goldstar, which will go on the new old box as a windows box or a linux server or maybe I’ll use it to finally learn FreeBSD or something.
Thanks dude.
What else…. well, I finally got the art up on my walls and it looks awsome. Now I need something for above the computer and life will be good. I didn’t use the huge screw for the Waterhouse… I thought that even though I’m going to be here for a while, they probably won’t appreciate big holes in the walls. Wandered to a poster store in mission last weekend and snagged a poster of a section of this Delaroche print which I originally saw on the wall of a friend of A’s. A very haunting picture. It’s sad to have to put it up with pushpins, but you gotta do whatcha gotta do right? Anyway, here is a (bad) Delaroche (complete with moniter-to-be-not-used-any-more). Here is the Waterhouse that is on my other wall (another bad shot).
Still have boxes and stuff, but things are getting more “real” here. Not that I’ve had a chance to enjoy it all, I’ve hardly had a second to myself it seems lately.
Christmas shopping done!!!!!!!!! Yeap, in a mad rush around the mall I manged to get the ArcterParents shopped for. Not too bad stuff at all if I do say so myself. I hope they enjoy it 🙂
Now to wrap.
Note to self and note to other people: If you are going to use a jar and tree branches as a Christmas tree, don’t give it to someone with 2 cats. Two days in a row I came home and found it on the floor or table, water all over the place, and orniments in disarray. The cats retreated under the bed as I ranted at them. Ah well, next year I’ll know to put barbed wire around them. Or train the cats. Nah…. barbed wire and a rocket launcher is probably easier.
Ok, I heard this the other day on a US radio station (92.9). Apparently there’s some gameshow that Fox is looking at. Basically you win the chance to marry a millionaire.
Erhmm…. excuse me? Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this? I thought so. Lets list off the things wrong shall we?
- If I’m a millionaire what is there in it for me?
- Yea! collect all the shallow people in one place!
- What is she’s ugly/stupid/completely not his type?
- What if he’s ugly/stupid/completely not her type?
- Has no one got any respect for themselves anymore?
- This is just like a dating game with a different demograph right?
- I could go on..
sigh some people’s tv stations….
Yesturday sucked. Long day at work. Spilled mocha on myself…. had no money, no mailbox, bills, came home to find gas had jumped from 42.x to 58.9, came home to find my kitchen table full of water, the xmas tree on the ground along with tapes and papers, had to vacuum with a broom, had some friends bail on me for a movie. A bad day. The good part was A came by and brought not only food but cookies! Good cookies too! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………
Well, I look around the room and see nothing else of note, other than a sleeping cat (in a most odd position I might add) and the cover of a computer case. Well, and a desktop box (obtained today from Cat5 if you forgot already) and a bag full of yet-unwrapped xmas presents. Know what this means? Yes, that’s right, sleep for me!
