May 9th thru the 15th, 2004Previous Week | Archive Index | Current Blog | Next Week Happy Mother's day, mom! Happy Birthday, Squiddevil! Holy cow I could NOT wake-up today. It was crazy. I slept in, then got up and made some eggs (note to all-- even after a month, eggs don't go bad). And then I read from Corelli's Mandolin a bit, but fell asleep in the couch, and then I got up and wandered around bleary-eyed, and when I got to my room to turn off the noise maker thing, I fell asleep again. I managed to be up by 4 or so.

I ate a hard-boiled egg. I went to Larry's and got some batteries for the .mp3 player. Today is going to
be some kinda music day. As I write this, it's Jethro Tull. I ate a banana. Only half-updated the blog. My
friend D5V went to the dentist, and they injected her in the wrong place, and so swelled up like a
chipmunk. Since she couldn't go to work, she dropped by my pad, we hit the IHOP, rented some movies, and
half-watched them as we worked. The first one was All
The Queen's Men, a transvestite WWII movie starring Matt Leblanc and Eddie Izzard. Apparently it cost $25 Million to make, and raked
in $25,000 in its two weeks in the box office. The other movie was My Life Without Me. I had a conference call in the
middle of it, but I did come back in time to see the lovely face of Leonor Watling.
Took a nap, and when I woke, pretty much stayed asleep all through bowling. I bowled a two bad games and a decent one... against the dudes who bowled in the high 200s last week. But at least they were cool dudes. I was so out of it. One of my teammates, Punky Screwster, with an average of 100 and a high game of 130 bowled a 164! Kick-ass! She pretty much won the third game for us. Fortunately, my second game was the high and so we won that too. But kudos also to Hooters Reject, cause she came in consistant and if she had been sloppy liie me, wouldn't wouldn't have won any at all. All in all, we got a pretty, cool little team.

Lots of work today, and photoshop. Some new pictures in Fotoshop Phun and I
wanted to get ahead on Monstrous Words. Which I did! I ended up, as a
result, (sort of) eating fast food twice. I really need to stop this. First it was Burgermaster, and later
it was The Wing Zone. In the evening we did the Coffee thing, like we do. I photoshopped all night after
that, with an hour break to watch an episode of "Angel."I totally revamped the Monstrous Words page, cause I was tired of the old one-- it was complicated to update and didn't look too good. So, now its a little less complicated and looks a tiny bit better. Wednesday May 12th, 2004 Boy, did I have Seattle kind of evening. But first I will describe the day. Woke up and did the DDR thing. I stopped talking about DDR because I was afraid people were getting bored with it. But then I stopped doing it as much... if there's a correlation, then I'm afraid I'm going to have start boring you people with more details. Sorry. So, me, DDR, 1000 calories, 49 songs, about 90 minutes.
Lots of work, the usual. Some photoshopping (you'll see it in the days to come). Went over to Silver Platters and bought the Brian Regan album and the new David Cross album. Totally different comedy styles, but both completely hilarious. Am I as picky about comedy as I am about music? Let me list which comedians I like, in alphabetical order: Lewis Black, David Cross, Mitch Hedberg, Eddie Izzard, Brian Regan... yeah, I guess I'm pretty picky. I also found albums from Cowboy Bebop, but damn, they wanted 35 bucks for them! And all the Weird Al albums were 17 each...
So, vote, kids. Do I spend this Saturday wandering around Seattle to used music stores, looking for more Weird Al, or do I walk around Greenlake 10 times? I really want those polkas. They are such brilliant social commentary. I have a few thanks to Kazaa, but I want them all. And then I will write a paper about them. Thursday May 13th, 2004 Work. Photoshop. E-mail. Taco bell. Haircut. The phone. Not
in that order. D5V's for Frasier finale and leftover Thai curry. Details? Okay. Work was getting TWTC to
99%. Just waiting on legal now. And waiting... and waiting... Photoshop was the same thing I've been
reporting on for the past few days. Tomorrow I'll be updating the Fotoshop Phun site so that IE people can
see stuff there too.E-mail was my wonderful friends. Man oh man, but I DO have some good lookin friends.
Taco Bell was a craving. I apologize to yon small business owner, but I didn't want a quality dining
experience, I wanted MSG. As it was, I had more volume than was comfortable. Haircut was the beauty
school, a cute little student name of Lizzie, who's only been in Seattle since December. She did a fine
job. The phone was various friends and things. Frasier was just another excuse to hang with the peoples
and eat the left over Thai Curry. And that is all, y'all.Friday May 14th, 2004 Hell of a day. Heck of a. Not in a bad way. Got up at
5:52 am and finished off a proposal. That took an hour. Ran down to Greenlake (12 minutes), around it on
the gravel edge (not the blacktop inside-- 32 minutes), ran back home (12 minutes). Started mowing the
yard, till the battery gave out on the weed wacker, and so raked up clippings. Vacuumed the house, took
out the recycling, started the laundry. Walked over to Larry's for some bacon and eggs. Grabbed the
recharged whacker and mowed some more, and raked. Made myself some bacon and eggs. Took a nap. Took a
shower. Ate leftover Thai Curry. Did the DDR thing for 90 minutes (1000 calories-- 36 stages). Met up with D5V for another walk around Greenlake (40 minutes). Took another shower.

After yesterday's activities and the night's activities, it's no wonder today was a pokey kind of day. I had to go over to Squid's cause I left my camera in his car, and after that I did some window shopping Boradway. Then I had a hair appointment to get an awesome dye job. After that it was a trip to Target to get some supplies and other whatnots. I got a tripod, some duct tape, a digital jump rope, a plunger, a box of donuts, and some razors. Photoshopped for a spell and then Dafaria came over to borrow the scanner. Then I went to D5V's for some fajitas and to watch Matchstick Men. It was okay. After that we just talked and played Rummy 500.. Previous Week | Archive Index | Current Blog | Next Week |
