Gold! I’ve struck gold!

Apartment, allows Newton, good rent, within 3 blocks of my old place, so I don’t have to relearn Neighborhoods. Open house is tomorrow at 2pm. *does the swim, then the monkey.

Oh, if it’s good, and they’re nice, I wonder if I could slip in there next week? Get all my moving done while mah sweetie is off doing other things elsewhere…

Welll, if anyone was going to send me stickers, wait until I post my new address…. Hoody Hoo!

More room for me, and my stuff, hopefully coming soon!

back from the doc.

almost didn’t get in, because they claimed I needed a referral. Nobody told me, so I raised a little ruckus. The doctor saw me. It’s a shame that you have to make noise to be dealt with in health care around here. I don’t know how it is in other parts of the USA, but I imagine it’s the same.

told I need to keep a better eye on what I eat, (too many carbs, it would seem.) and that no surgery is going to be forthcoming, at least not in the immediate future. going to try a few more moderate solutions first, improved diet, and more regular sleep scheduling.

Also, going to get back on my workout schedule. 5 miles before work, minimum four days a week. (it’ll help me schedule my sleep better, too.) Start hitting the sack at midnight, and getting up at 8am. 15 minute warm-up, hour & a half walk, 15 min cool down before work should get me fit in no time. 🙂 Get all the bits and pieces up and running.

Also, I’m going to take it easy on the vending machine… off soda again, off the sweets. too easy to eat junky candy-stuff.

Going to get back into juggling, too. I plan on learning pins and rings comfortably by christmas. I’m guessing an hour a day before bed will serve.

looks like I get to stay late to ensure I have Friday off. and even that’s not etched in stone yet. hm. Well, I gues I can show Kev how things are to be done, if worst comes to worst.

woo. looking at the speed here… I’ll probably be here until midnight. fine by me, friday will just be a comp day then, instead of a vacation day. 🙂 A taco bell night. Joel’s out and picking it up, so that’s cool. (I’m pretty broke until payday, TB or nothing these days)

Hooking up with Ray on Saturday, hitting the movies or comic book store… the first time I’ve seen him in a little while. I wonder if he and my younger brother would get along…

anyhoo, back to work. human is needed.

good day, fellow LJers! The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and someone in my parking lot lis blaring some badly transmitted bass (the musical tones, not the fish) through concrete into our office. yech.

Sending someone outside to take care of it now.

Getting prepared for visit to prison tomorrow… if her hearing goes well tomorrow, she’ll be out on friday… if it goes as expected, she’ll get 7 months, out in 5. if it goes poorly, she’ll get up to a year (one of the tickets was kicked out…) I’ll be glad when she’s out, if only to put a cap on the collect calls from jail I get…(at $2.50 minimum to start, at least 2x a day…for almost 3 weeks now… it adds up)

Ahh.. the booming has stopped. 🙂 good job, Bheesham. (the guy who told bass-man to get quiet.)

Anyhoo… to work, and some veggie dogs… maybe taco bell if I can convince Pixie next door to run and get it. 🙂

OH! Donated blood this am…I’m going to start keeping my tally here, if I remember to. (I’m officially at over 10 gallons! They gave me a nice certificate and stuff.) one of the best things about going in every 2 weeks is that you really get to know everybody, and all the keen freebies you get… for doing charity, I get tshirts, frequent flyer miles, free lunches, and the adoration of several nurses. A good gig. I highly reccomend it.

too much drama in my life?

Leave a comment

ok. more weirdness to add to my current situation. I get a phone call out of the blue from my pal Chase. (I’ve not heard from her in about 3 months)… apparently she and her girlfriend of 10 years are ready to have a child together. Problematic, as they are both lacking testicles, and want to give birth, not adopt. Enter Scotto. “He’s got sperm! and I bet he’s not using all of it!” Well. Truth be told, I’ve just been using it recreationally, and not procreationally… but yeah, I guess so. Here’s the deal, they’d just as soon not go to a clinic and pay some guy to take it out of me, and plug it into Chase… they’d prefer the old fashioned, free installation that mother nature provides. Ok. I’m at the “Well, won’t there be jealousy, or something from you having sex with me?” part of the conversation… and Chase says, “No, we’ve talked it out, and you’re a nice guy… not emotional strings or anything, and we like what you have to offer…(she rattles off some stuff about me being healthy, etc, I come back with my apnea and back trouble, she says that they’ll cope with the advantages over the disads. *egoboo*) Then she mentions that if everything’s still cool, that her gf would like to have a baby about a year after the baby is born, and they’d like it if I agree to the first, if I’d agree to that too. Um. Well, let me think abut this, it’s pretty important stuff…

that’s where I am now. I think she expected me to agree right away, but was happy that I’m taking it seriously.

my immediate concerns are this –

I’ve really never had sex with someone I’m not attracted to ‘as just friends’. The closest I’ve gotten is some silly stuff with someone I had a crush on, and she was just fooling around, although I took it a little more seriously. It’s a good cause, and I’m honored they asked… but I’m not sure what my responsibility to the baby will be, should I draw up some sort of contract? Should I sire a baby with someone else, when I haven’t had any of my own kids yet? I don’t know what my feelings to a child I’m just serving as donor semen for will be, especially since I’d probably be there with them here and again, visiting.

Something for me to think seriously about.

good day, sunshine…

Ahhh.. back at work, and the day is off to a decent start. 🙂 got my 5 mile walk in this morning, and it felt good to get home and showered before work. Current plans for the weekend involve surfing with Dave, Cathi and my Little Brother, if the swells are good Saturday AM. Didn’t get much sleep, but had a decent evening, tonight after work I’m planning on going with Suzy’s boyfriend Bernie to visit her, bring some magazines if she can have ’em, and try and keep her calm. I’ve not been to a prison visit in a long time (about a year) so I forget if certain things are contraband or not. Suzy’s in a real bind, but hopefully that now we’ve gotten her a real lawyer instead of a public defender, the wheels will speed up a bit. *fingers crossed*

off on a tangent. I’m currently on a Walt Whitman kick, as my earlier post may have shown. I think of that time period, and probably of the vast majority of american writers, he and Twain are very high up there on my list of faves, and I find them to be rather similar in mood and style. For a english lit guy, I have a huge love of american lit. From Ben Franklin to contempo stuff like Updike I think we’ve really got some great authors. in fact, I’m updating my interests right now. be back after that, and I get my morning java.
