I figured out this damn Excel chart thing, but I was at the office until past 6. Thankfully it was just for charting the progress of my own stocks, because if it was for work it would be unacceptable. Then I ran up to get some tax software, though I better get some GD money back this year. Now I've got to finish up some food before Dubya comes on to thrill the crowd.

Needed to make sure this whole thing worked before the trip to Vegas. And that's pretty much it.

Man, it is a quiet day around here. I could make it busier for myself, but why would I do that? I almost volunteered for more work last night, but fortunately I took a personal time out.
That back in the master bedroom thing ain't working out; I slept until 8:30 today. Maybe I need to put the alarm louder?

I stole (well, modified) an idea from neolefty and put a mixture of spinach and ricotta cheese in a ramekin and surrounded it by polenta. I'm sure I could've described it better, but that's what you get.

I got some coupons out of the newspaper the Sunday before last and went to Target to buy some associated stuff. Well, I saved $2.50 by using the coupons, but I managed to spend $3.49 I hadn't planned on spending. Good work, saving!
A lot of the sports shows are in Detroit and I heard one of them asking a local announcer things to do while in town. Besides seeing the Pistons, Red Wings, the local guy said he had to go to Windsor. I didn't hear "the ballet" mention, but it sure was implied.
And hearing ESPN Radio in Detroit, it made me think I should try out ESPN online and it works! I think a lot less music and a lot more sports.

I've moved back into the master bedroom, but somehow forgot to turn the alarm on. Eight hours sleep is good, but I'm still sore as heck. Though a lot less than I would've thought. Maybe this is something I'll do every weekend?
Doubtful.

As crazy at this sounds, I not only finished off patching the ceiling in my family room, painting the trim in my bathroom, making a ton of sauce, but went to play flag football with JMVC, Chilly, and The Saw. I haven't left the couch much since I returned. Sore city.
There's a great article about Detroit's preparations for the Superbowl. Hopefully they won't re-shitty it before I come visit next time.
A whole weekend of me not going out? Amazing. And one of the by-products is me getting up at 8:30. On a friggin Sunday. I'm not really sure how to react to it.
Anyway, I'm hoping to have the living room and my bathroom done before noon now. And have the room ready incognegro's visit.

Stayed in last night but had Chilly over to watch Aviator (excellent movie btw, though it reminded me that my reviews page is way out of date) and now am thinking of finishing up my bathroom. It is basically done but needs some trim painted. Also, I need to get some patching done for the living room. Hopefully I can get that stuff done relatively quickly.
It's wonderful to wake up and hear the rain and not need to worry about leaks. And I just checked out the back and the new roof seems to be allowing the run off to happen like it should. Will wonders never cease?
And to show how outside influences affect dreams, I had one where the roofers were finishing off some of the odd items they hadn't completed. And it was raining...

New phone is good and I'm able to synch up with my old address book. If I had only synched more recently, I'd be all set. But I'll take a few month of lost numbers over entering everything over again. Now I need to get it all working with the home machine before I try it with my calendar at work for the real fun.
Man, those are two strange last posts. I don't remember yesterday being that shitty, but who knows. Though I guess I should...
I need to get to the post office to get my phone. New phone, bitches!

There are moment that everyone is trailing to somebody else's something and I'm just staring at the inside of my eye lids. And this is way past the sober monents of "you know my brother knows Prince?" kind of shit and other so called social pitfalls. Did I mention it is a Thursday and they only serve beer but people are checking to see how the parents they haven't met are? It is that kind of night. And I'm just interested in getting out (unless someone gets more Shiner). I'll look for any GD thing. Some times it comes easy like:
Random Jackass: "Look at my hands spouting off some relatively trivial shit"
Me: "Talking hands? Patent those bitches!"
RJ: "Are you mocking me?"
M: "Unless you have talking hands. And you're talking LITERAL talking hands then yes, I am mocking you."
RJ: "Well, fuck you."
M: "That was an improper esclation. And get me sober and I'll do something half as good. And I doubt your mother lays as good as you sound."
And then I walked as fast as I could walk without sitting down to finish my beer but do walk back to close out my tab.

I spent way too much time pissed off on IM (an in-house instant messanging system for Christ's sake (and the 'Christ's sake' that's on a genuine cross, btw)) because shit is waaaay fragged. In that way that I just want to sell my house, call up Jagr, and go to California and begin to set my rules upon that land. That kind of shitty sort of day, because honestly they have no idea what they have and should be forgived for lessening any amount of "world fun" I may have. And for all of your kids trying to find something to do with the rest of your life, let me tell you: get this job, just have an out plan after two or three months.
The Pistons won again last night and my only thought continued to be what Pistons alternate jersey I should purchase (I'm leaning towards Chauncey Billups). Unfortanately, the news on the Pistons is that there start of 35-5 matches that of the Tigers of 1984. Well, I don't get it. Two different sports, two different amounts of games, so why is the media making a big deal of this. It's just stoopid. Not like I'm watching WXYZ back in the D, it was on ESPN. Was it that slow of a sport's day?

No phone! Damn post office!
My phone is in Austin and in transit. That means I'm going home to pick that bad boy up at lunch, hopefully.

One of my coworkers gave me some glasses so I'm actually tossing out the old college ones (read: stolen). Don't worry, the Supreme Commander glasses are still here.
Oh yeah, I was coming into the office from running some errands and Quizno's and I held the door of the elevator for another woman (the elevator already had one in it). Well, they worked together on the second floor. The woman who I held the door for said she had just been to Target and bought seven pairs of jeans. Turns out they had just been allowed to wear jeans on that second floor so she said something about saving money on dry cleaning so the jeans would pay for themselves. I don't know what I find more amusing the broad getting these magical beans or that the second floor didn't allow their employees to wear jeans. Must suck to be them, because we're all part of the same company and I've been wearing jeans since day one. Though I don't have any that pay for themselves....
I'm actually pretty busy at work. So busy that I need to leave and get some air. Which means I need me some Quizno's! That means the Steakhouse Beef Dip. And some more spinach from the grocery store.
For the second day in a row in before 9. A miracle! That 6:45 am thing is working out.

I'm beat. That getting up at 6:45 so I can make it to the office by 9 am sure has its pain points.
Not only have I arrived at the office before 9 am (8:53 to be exact), but I was able to make an spinach, red pepper and tomato omelet, put together my lunch, take a shower, and closed my garage door (which is a lot more work than one would imagine).
All of this so I can get into the office for two brand new conference calls (sorry, two brand new daily conference calls). I'm into the second one and am pretty sure these are total wastes of time.

The Day the Earth Stood Still really blows.
Lots of blowouts today, but the games ended like I thought. And I even made a whole five dollars off Seattle winning. Though it won't offset the fifty I lost playing cards while watching the games.
Great party brought to me by Winston. I had planned on leaving there by 10 and I was there until past 2. You know, parties are much better when the ratio of men to women is small. Like less than one.

The day just got away from me somehow. I left work after 5 for the second day in a row and the plan was to hit Lowe's to get some paint and the store for food (I'm having a couple people over for dinner tomorrow night), but I went home first to cook up some bacon and have some food first. Next thing I know it's past 8 PM and I've got next to nothing done. But I did track down a phone on eBay to replace mine. And, yes, it has the incognegro seal of approval. After I get back from beers with Winston, I'll get on some bidding.

Well, the mission to Pluto went off on its third try. See you in 10 years, New Horizons!Wednesday, January 18, 2006
I stopped off at this knife sharpening place to sharpen up the blades and now they're sharper than when I bought them. I'm going out to buy a pineapple!
I was listening to the radio and heard a familiar name introduced for a segment. And then the voice sounded familiar. Turns out this guy I work with has a short film being shown at the Sundance Film Festival. For the second year in row, in fact.

I made the mistake of falling asleep on the couch so now I can't sleep. But I have been able to find about 40 free MP3s to download. Free and legit!
Friends of mine called me from the UK on Saturday and mentioned Google Earth so I tried it out earlier in the week. Man, is that thing sweet. I zoomed up on my neighborhood and was able to see my screwed up old roof. I wonder how long until they update with new pictures? I wonder if I can make out my the skylight on my new roof?
No launch today. Weather called it off.
Oh, this place blows; I have seven recognized holidays off here. That's funked up. And the first one's not until Memorial Day.

I called up Cingular and now can recieve incoming calls. Maybe the person who has my call will call up and leave me a message.Anyway, the New Horizons launch is happening today (well, planned). It is heading out on a leisurely 9 to 11 year journey towards Pluto and and its moon Charon. This is the first mission to the ninth planet and is approximately 10 billion miles away from our Sun. Along the way, it'll take a bit stop at Jupiter. I'm watching the broadcast online so hopefully it won't blow up with me watching it.
I didn't find my phone in the lost and found, so I called up friggin Cingular and figured I'd temporarily turn off the phone so nobody could use it. But if I call myself, it doesn't roll to my voice mail. I get no message at all. I think I've made a terrible mistake!

The cell is not here. I called up the place I went before work and they didn't have it in lost and found. I am now regretting not synching up my phone with the home PC. No SIM card means starting all over. I guess there are worse things.
And I was able to make grits, I mean polenta, from scratch. Add that to some scallops and you got yourself a meal.

Well, I don't have my cell phone on me and I'm just hoping it is at home. Though I swear I had it when I left the house this morning.
Dropped off three throwaway cameras to get developed and then to the office, but it was raining and I so wanted to turn around and watch my house not leak. No leaks!
I hate waking up at in between times so that its too difficult to go back to bed. I got up just before 7 and would love to go back to bed for 30 minutes, but its just too late now. I've even sent off some emails for work, which is a bit disheartening. I doubt this week I'll have enough distractions to prevent this from actually being a full work week. But I still get to cut checks for lots of money!

Friggin crazy playoff game between Indinapolis and Pitsburg. I wanted Indy to get to win it all, but it would've been a crime if they had won that game. Highly enjoyable to watch, but the right team one in the end.
I think I just got up. So much for those errands I was going to run today.
I can't seem to get asleep, but at least watching Ocean's Twelve will entertain me. And not in a good way.
After leaving Sealy's engagement party, I went downtown to meet with the Cooler and his crew. After some bar hopping, I stumble into Aces down with two of his future brother-in-laws. They'd been out since 5 pm partying it up downtown. Aces once again said he was just about to buy his ticket to Vegas for the Superbowl, but I'll believe it when I see it. We closed out Light Bar with me staying with Aces and the BILs. Somewhere we lost one of the BIL's. Nobody seemed to mind, though, as Aces wandered down 6th Street trying to find some action for the remaining BIL. He's got splendidly funny material. Horribly effective, but funny to watch. That killed another hour or so and was highly entertaining. Much more so than Ocean's Twelve.

mobile post: one nutty house
Sealy's wedding shower is at the craziest house I've ever seen; they've got a two floor pool. The top part is a wading pool and hot tub which cascades down a waterfall to the lap pool below. And there's a slide from the top pool to the one below. All with a view of Lake Austin from the top of Mt. Bonnell Rd. Some people have tough lives, I say.
I've managed to piss the day away, but I have least cleaned up the mess in my guest bathroom. It is almost presentable, though I'll let Chilly be the judge. Though he deserves better than being a bathroom judge, we all have to start somewhere. In the interim, I'll just have to go down south to shop for furniture that I can't afford.

I couldn't go to sleep last night (even though I had woke up at 7 am after going to bed Sunday past 1 am). I stayed up past two watching four hours of 24 (yes, I've been pulled in). Three hours were from this season and one was from season 1 for those interested in my viewings.
But was woke up this morning a bit around 7 am by the sounds of a flatbed truck next store. I assume they were doing some brick work in their back yard, but upon further analysis I found out they're getting a new roof, too! I'm a trend setter. The first roof trend setter ever!
Now to see if I can find my phone.

Mac's party was fun and interesting (though 420 and patches were no shows). I was a wee bit late as I got lost (evite's directions SUCK), but I learned that Warsteiner beer is good and Chick-fil-A Nuggets Tray are even better. I think I have a couple new addictions. Oh, I also learned that if somebody's being a prick that you should lock them out of the party when given an opportunity. Tell that one to kids so they don't have to learn it on the streets.
And I came home to a perfect rectangle of light peering falling onto my family room floor. Very nice.
So now to sleep to rest up for football watching tomorrow and Sealy's wedding shower. Fun, fun, fun!

Well, the roofing piper is paid (ouch!) and now I get to rest for a few hours before heading to Mac's party. It is down in the dirty south, so I'm sure it'll be interesting.
Things only got worse as the traffic sucked, but service at Lowe's was even slower. They were swamped and the women ahead of me apologized, so that put me in a better mood. What put me even in a better mood was hearing from the roofer that they were going to finish the skylight today. I came home just in time to see them cutting through the roof allowing beautiful blue sky to shine into my living room. I then had to tear apart my place to find a check to pay that guy off, but I actually didn't mind it so much now. Then being out of the office for nearly three hours made me come back here, but they're still doing shit there. I should have the skylight boxed in when I get back. Or I can hope. It all looks great.
mobile post: sooner or later I'll work a full week
I can't believe how few home goods things come with but the pieces. I'm on my way to Lowe's in shitty traffic (620 & 183 BLOW) to get a couple pieces that were missing from the sky light thing. And this is after two of three faucets were missing shit. Good thing I'm running up here instead of the handyman; hourly rates to sit in traffic aren't that smart. But I might need a job with all the time I've been gone.
The roofer actually wants to get paid! Well, I'm meeting him around noon to pay the piper. And then begins the days of me being broker than broke.

For the first time since Monday, I've come into the office. And I'll be out of here in about an hour. I wouldn't have done it, but I needed to get some paperwork to send off tomorrow.
The guys were wrapping up on the roof and the inside guy was just getting there. I don't see the skylight being done today, maybe tomorrow or early next week.

It has gotten a bit hectic work wise (yes, I was actually working at home!) but I did manage to sneak up to the roof while the labor force was at lunch. I'd say it looks a lot like a roof is supposed to look, though I'm a bit concerned that the flat portion will still collect water (considering the amount of rain around here I probably don't need to concern myself with it). But the new stuff looks pretty darn durable, that's for sure. Snapped some pictures with the old school camera so I'll be able to post them some time.
Well, no blocking, but I'm still at home. I started doing working (actually working) and time just got away from me. Now the crews are back taking care of business out back and I'm no closer to leaving. But I'm mostly working which is something.
All this crap around the house has brought out my allergies. I can't breath! Anything that makes me wake up early is bad, in my opinion. At least my car is out of my garage so I can go to work. No blocking in today!

What's the deal with people? Me and Chilly went by a couple places and they all were packed. Its a friggin Wednesday night, for Jimminy's sake. Ended up at Kerbey Lane Cafe which was real good (though the service at times leaves a bit to be desired).
Fudge, I missed the new episode of Lost. I might have to break down and buy the episode from iTunes. Next step would be thousands of MP3s and a total destruction of my budget.

Well, I'm back online, but they aren't totally done. The roof looks all to be shingled, but the extension out back needs some more work as does the patio cover. And a lot of cleanup needs to happen, but we're most of the way there. My handyman is cutting holes in my ceiling for the skylight; I'd imagine that'll be the last thing done, most likely early next week.
And then whenever I want to, I can bust out the glass and be like the Pantheon. Hmm, now that's a thought.
OK, Chilly's in town and we're going to go grab some grub. Way better than getting loaded with Aces.

The roof looks pretty darn good, but the back patio that's getting rebuilt has somehow got my cable knocked out. This has been a couple of really boring hours. How the heck did people survive without the Internet? Minesweeper got old quick and I don't have a floppy to install Jezzball so I'm screwed. Almost thought about doing some painting in my bathroom, but I am not that bored yet. At least I've confirmed that Aces isn't up for more boozing tonight. So I've got that going for me.

Well, it is on. In this case, my roof. And conveniently they've parked a huge disposal truck right in front of my garage door so I can't leave. No, sir, I can't!

I've strung an extension cord into my office, but better yet is I've taken a nap for fourth minutes and had a couple dreams (one about a dog attaching itself to my eye and the other about an unexpected visit by my parents). I think that means I'm really tired, but I'll leave that to the experts.
And so I need some final work in each of the bathrooms, but the main work is pretty much done.

Had a bit of a blowout and lost power in my office because of the work in the other bathroom. Now, the handyman is gone to another job and I've got power strung from my living room into my office. Where's wireless power?!
So I've got the guys who are trying to drop the new counters in place battling my handyman who's trying to put in the new faucets before dropping them into place. See, the counters have the sink built in so the sink makes it pretty difficult to put the faucets in place after the counter is in place. I think they're all getting along so I won't worry too much. Good news it my bathroom is done and looks pretty darn good.
I'm thinking its best to buy new houses from now on.
And then the complications come in. They centered the sink for my bathroom, but there's a drawer in the way. Good news is I didn't think that was a real drawer and have never used it before so that one went away. Next problem, the lip of the new counter was out about a quarter inch too much so they've got to cut it. I've got a crew cutting in my driveway and my bathroom. Good times!
A less strange dream, but still a bit odd: Chauncey Billups and Tayshaun Prince of the mighty Detroit Pistons were on vacation some place and being floated down a long outside staircase. There were lots of tourists and Tayshaun was being floated higher on the right side over everyone else. When they both got to the bottom, Tayshaun got a ticket and was asked by the press why Chauncey didn't get one and Tayshaun said something that Chauncey shouldn't get a ticket because the team needed him more. For what that's worth.
And today's counter day. Fun ahead!

The bathrooms are all stripped off of counters so its really bare bones in there. The faucets I got look decent; I just hope they run water. Ok, that was a bit too cutesy for me. Let's just say I'm pretty sure they'll be fine.
So I think I just need to run out tomorrow evening to get another skylight thingy for my bathroom, but I'm question whether the second bathroom needs it. I've got a whole day to think on it.

Things have just hit overdrive: the roofer called and the new shingles will be at my place on Wednesday (he said the 11th and I called to confirm it was this month, which it was and is). So then I had to call the air conditioning guy who needs access to the roof to coordinate that, plus I have to make sure the other cats will be done with the bathroom stuff. And then the kicker is trying to track down some cash for all of this. I thought I had another week or two for the roof, but that ain't happening. To complicate matters more is I saw one of my accounts had a check clear I forgot about. Maybe the better word is "hoped it wouldn't come through". So between the mortgage payment, checks to the contractor, bathroom guy, and roofer we are pretty much screwed. And when I say "we" I mean entirely me. I don't even want to consider how potentially this could totally frag up my entire house in the course of just a few days!
I guess that scratches me going to the Pistons game on Thursday in San Antonio (unless I'm just a total and complete fool). Fortunately Mac's having a party on Friday so I can forget about all this craziness and decompress over a couple hundred dozen shots.

I couldn't get back to sleep this morning so I've been up since 5:45 or so. One would think that would get me to the office before 9 am, but not me. I actually had an excuse today because I had to finalize the bathrooms for the removal of the counters in each. Those are getting yanked out today and new ones are being brought in tomorrow. Guest bathroom is getting another bathroom sink in there. Chilly helped me move the mirror out last night so it should be good to go tomorrow morning. It should look a great deal better. Next step will be to pull off that wallpaper in the guest bathroom and do something else in there. I see that in 2007, anytime sooner will be a miracle.

Hawkeye was at some crowded officer's club when he sat down with a black officer, started talking and then called for Radar to join them (and I don't know how this would be possible as everyone knows Radar wasn't an officer). Radar joins them and Radar and the black officer (the simplify things let's call him Paul) start talking about Iowa. They are both from their and start reminiscing. Radar's getting all misty eyed because they have some people in common back home or something.
Now, Hawkeye is gone. He basically disappears from the "episode" as if he was never in it and next thing is a couple nurse shows up. They both are friends and one of the nurses knows Paul. In the spirit of friendship Radar asks them to join them. As the conversation continues, it turns out Paul and one of the nurses are shipping state side. Next thing, the episode turns to what appears to be the outside a farm house and they're all saying their goodbyes. Now this is when things get weird.
Remember, this is like I'm watching a TV show and I see one of the nurses leaning over to say goodbye to Paul and I see this cleavage. Grotesque, hideous cleavage and I must be contemplating changing the channel because its disgusting. Next thing I know she's busting out two inert heads where her breasts should be. And everyone kisses the dead head breasts bye. I'm getting ill just thinking about it.
Radar must have been milking the cow or something as the next I see is a far shot and Radar trying to hide. And who can blame him with not wanting to get any closer to that? Anyway, all the group but one of the nurses leave (I can see everyone leaving in the background as Radar hides behind some trees, the other people wanting to say their goodbyes but unable to delay their departure.
After everyone else is gone, the nurse sees Radar and asks what happened to him and before he can say anything her father (yes, strange that her father has a farm in South Korea, I know). Radar is obviously a little taken back and the farmer start bitching to Radar about how disgusting the whole thing is. Radar starts defending the head breasts until he hears some more defaming comments and realizes the farmer and nurse are upset about bringing a black man onto their property. He then starts hosing down area where all the people were sitting. Radar tries to protest but the farmer's too incensed to hear anything. He walks off in a huff and I wake up.
I don't care how much of a racist you are, but you've got to be more disgusted by dead head breasts than a black man, don't you? Please, everyone, check with your racist friends and let me know. The good racist should hate them both, but if you were going to rank them, I'd hope the racist hated dead head breasts number one. I could understand if Paul had a extra testicle popping out of his chin or something, but he was normal.
And with that, I'm going to try to get some more sleep. No more dead head breasts!

Well, Chilly came by and thinks I've got a leak in the pool. The hot tub doesn't seem to have any visible leak but it still is losing water. Can it just be because its so dry? Wouldn't that just be the kicker if I've got to fix the pool after dropping money on the new roof and such?

Man, I've been in bed all day. An alcohol truck must've run me down. The day is shot and so am I. I need Jebus.

I managed to kill another day, though the short week did help. Next week'll be a doozy with five days in it for the first time in recent memory.
Man, this sammich I made is great! I took two piece of roast beef, took two pieces of pastrami on top of that, topped that with a piece of baby Swiss before putting a spicy cole slaw mixture on the cheese. Then I folded the meat so the so the slaw is in the middle and then put that on some Italian bread. Like a deli, a friggin deli!

Man, Marketwatch has some cool pages; the automatically update stock quotes on article pages. This article about Google and Yahoo is the perfect example.

Well, that beer out was a good time. I didn't pay for a round, but I'm going to have to pay for the friggin ticket for running a red light. Damn stupid area near campus.
I made this great dish with scallops and shrimp in a shallot and garlic sauce. Very good stuff. Now I'm late for the beers at Crown & Anchor, but I'm full!
Holy shit, this place requires you stay 5 years to get their 401(k) match. No vesting schedule, all or nothing. Three years could be manageable, but five years would be longer than I've worked for pretty much any company. So that'll be a few grand before its all said and done. I guess I'm not leaving here until I'm laid off. Or in a body bag. Damn them!
So do Longhorn fans burn shit down when they win stuff?

Kind of out of the blue, one of my coworkers came by and mentioned getting beers at Crown & Anchor tomorrow. This guy could be my new best friend because I love that place.
Well, Futurama might be coming back, but I won't hold my breath. Though I'd love to see it back, that's for sure. Definitely if they do make the four movies.

incognegro might come out for Sealy's wedding. Woo, hoo!

I've confirmed the new counters for the bathrooms; by next Tuesday they should be installed and ready to spread non-70s goodness everywhere. Within the next couple of weeks I should have the roof done, too. And, hopefully, I'll find some money to pay for it all.
God damn fucking freshmen didn't deserve my bunt cake, anyway. Though I did have a little sympathy for that poor kid. Though now he's now lining up and cornholing cheerleaders like he's the ringleader of some perverse circus troupe.
Anyway, the moral of the story: always let the alleged rapist play the game.

Heading to the third overtime, I can't believe it! If they pull this one off, I'll be happy for at least the rest of the night.
That Penn State kicker is going to get a bunt cake from me every year if FSU wins! Bunt cake!
This Florida State game is killing me. Friggin penalties and crappy offense will be the death of me. But we're tied up!
I'm making some crazy chicken and apple thing in the crock pot. If this is any good, I'll have to make this before every Florida State game. Well, if FSU wins, that is.
I'm turning a new leaf at work, no bringing home the laptop. Though I know I could use the exercise.
Man, work BLOWS! I don't know how people do this all the time. Maybe the checks clearing twice a month?
Man, all these days of drinking have caught up with me. For some reason, I don't think our bodies were made for weeks-on-end of that stuff.

Well, going out on New Year's Day might not have been the best of ideas. Perhaps not. I met the Bubbas out and proceeded to bar hop until past 2 am. Not a way to spend Sunday, but thank Jebus I have today off. Unfortunately, I don't see Mrs. Bubba helping out with any painting around here. But at least I have the day off and can go back to sleep.

Well, I can cross "crash a Mexican New Year's party at 2:30 for three hours" off my list of things to do.
