Dang, I’m tired of TV. Even radio has too many commercials on it now, I’m at work, and they played like 8 minutes of commercials in a row on the station, before I gave up and turned the dial. Some of them were funny, but I wanted music! Can we stop with them, just for a little while, or put them on a lesser rate of broadcast? Music! That’s what we want, right? TV has to be good for someone to watch it, but commercials don’t have to be good. All they have to do is tell you where you can buy pizza, or what exactly you have to rub on your vagina to cure feminine odor and what kinds of freakish side effects it’s going to have on the parts of your body that aren’t a vagina. As much as we love to be told what to buy, we honestly don’t expect commercials to be fun. A commercial can annoy the hell out of you, and you’ll say, “You know. I wish those kids with their faces tied to the back of the speedboat would stop screaming, but I could really go for one of those Mountain Dews they’re holding.” A bad commercial can still have some kind of usefulness to you, I guess… but man. Shut up! SHUT UP!

Sorry. I’m a little irritated still.

too much pressure today.

2 bagels, lots of water and a blueberry muffin.

Blood sugar wonky, I can feel it. I can see the colors of my stress flying like a flag. An irritating flag. one that’s ringing my phone, asking stupid questions in a voice I hate. For no good reason. I’m entertaining thoughts of burying folks up to the neck at low tide, and waiting for it to come in. Then getting impatient, and just bashing skulls with my shovel.

OOh. Angry. not good.

Good things that happened today…
Um. I didn’t die. Chatted Briefly with Robb, made plans for Friday, maybe to see invisible guy.

That’s all I can think of…

Suzy’s hard up for cash, and I’ve given all I can. I’ll give her more on Friday… I think then it’ll be my cutoff.

I’m super tired. Didn’t walk this am.

I want a job where all I do all day is research stuff on the ‘net. Anyone hiring?

There’s too much crap happening today here. lots of little jobs, all amlunting ot mucho work, B & H leaving, not getting to see robby today. Poopies.

It’s a lot like a menu in a restaurant that serves 300 different kinds of scabby band-aids. Each one is a little bit different, but they all make you cry.

Hmm… I’ll get by, after doing some work, get out from under this pile….

Had a grilled cheese on whole wheat at g’bye lunch for b & h, and water on the side

Power puffs are on!

Angelicdestiny’s looking good in her new icon!

Had a great day at the graves museum. Saw dino bones, and all manner of keen stuff. Got to see a behind the scenes tour of the panarama stuff… I never realised so much art went into museum displays! Keen sculpture, taxidermy, molding and real keen airbrushing stuff.

The woman in charge was wonderfully talented, and pretty cool, too. I suspect she was australian.

Had a garden burger w/ baked spud, loads of water and iced tea for lunch,
saltines w swiss & saltines with cheddar, fresh grapes and water for supper.

*Cheeese, Gromit!*

Cracking good.

Everway went pretty well, met Neil, a pretty nice guy, someone who still acts as a Smith as a career.

Foodstuff yesterday, very little. 3 slices of mushroom & olive pizza, 3 glasses of Iced tea, and some water. two little squares of swiss cheese.

Either going out with little bro today, or hitting the graves museum with the everway gang.

Grrr. Hungry. Pepper ann cartoon is about thanksgiving…

Wow, friendlies are out today! Welcome abouard Kacia, and Ally! 🙂 I also added darktrain to my own list.. comical cat, he.

more updates…

Argh. Took out the net servers today, no net again, and I had to work tragically late.

I got home, checked my net logs here, and found that april was online atleast until 8 tonight, but when I arrived home at about 11:30, she was gone… I’m imagining she’s spending the night with Ruth and whoever else from work. She mentioned something about that maybe happening earlier in the week. Curious, but not worried about it. I’m more concerned that she;s mixing alcohol with whatever meds she’s taking.

For supper, spaghetti and eggplant parm, and a leftover kruller from this morning.

About 1/3 into Harry potter 3, and it seems pretty good.

Official Tomorrow Doings, Everway game, make plans with Bro for Sunday.

Looking with Gnutella for new books to read… running out of stuff fast. I need something clever, and that’ll hold my interest. any ideas?

Lunch time… Had a french kruller for breakfast, and a milk. (no oj!!! I need juice!)

For lunch… I dunno. wherever they go, I’ll order something. I’m hoping for chinese or thai… been doing tacobell too much lately. If they hit fast food, I can get a tasty slushie.

The last free-roaming panthers in North America can be found in south
Florida’s Everglades.  These beautiful, tawny beasts are the Florida
panthers, of which only 30-50 remain in the wild.

Because Florida panthers require unspoiled territories that are many
miles across, the continuing human development of the Everglades and
Big Cypress wetlands has dramatically reduced their numbers.
Recently, study programs have been locating and tracking the animals,
and large tracts of land have been added to the protected parklands
in an effort to help preserve their home ranges.

Between wetlands restoration, panther tracking and study, and captive
breeding programs, it might be possible to rescue the Florida
panthers from extinction.  As top predators in the South Florida
ecosystem, the panthers’ numbers reflect the success or failure of
the entire Everglades restoration effort.

Red Rubber Ball
( The Cyrkle )

I should have known you’d bid me farewell
There’s a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now I know you’re not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it’s all the same to me

And I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball

You never cared for secrets I’d confide
For you I’m just an ornament, somethin’ for your pride
Always runnin’, never carin’, that’s the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give

And I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball

The story’s in the past with nothin’ to recall
I’ve got my life to live and I don’t need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that’s all I’m gonna spend

And I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball

Oh, oh, oh
I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball

Looks like another taco bell dinner for me tonight. 3 bean burritos, cimnim twisties and waterwater water. Yum.

I have to work late (past my old hours, I’m guessing) to get a client online and happy with his data. Nutbunnies. Why does it have to be ‘I need it right now, but can’t give you info until tomorrow’? Makes no sense. “I want a car” Cool… what material do you want, fiberglass or steel? “I don’t know, I’ll tell you tomorrow, when I see it.” Wha?

Sometimes folks make no sense. S’ok, though. tomorrow’s Friday. 🙂
