drill sargeant maxx

My cat is sitting on the floor waiting for me to come do my morning stretches and exercises. He stretches next to me. And by stretches, I mean flopps his ass on my head.

I had a dream that I had my dachshund finally... and of course somehow that equated to my friend's bulldog humping my leg.

My fridge is empty. Well not too empty. Hummus, mushrooms and celery should make a delightful lunch for me today, shouldn't it?

dammit. the cat is like my own damn personal trainer. He is meowing at me and just inserted his claws into my leg. I guess that means its time for exercise. Bastard.

I'm blind!

I broke my glasses yesterday. BOOOOO no vision on my health coverage. Or should i say BOOO me for not adding the vision part to my health coverage.

I gotta run to work early and stop off at walmart's vision center and just see if they will sell me some frames for my lenses. i did that last time from sear's optical center.

i'm not impressed with spending extra cabbage this close to FL.

Schedule of EVENTS

Lets see... times comin for some fun!

Friday we are going to the Toronto Zoo. My aunt and cousin were going to come with us, but apparently not.

My parents are coming up to visit my grandparents that day as well. Haven't gotten to see them for a while, so Saturday after work I'm headin directly up to see them. Probably spend the night at my grams and come back sunday afternoon.

Lauren has about 200 scribbles on her calendar for the monday through thursday of that week - all those scribbles being final this due, rough this due, presentation this, etc. In other words, don't talk to her or she may flip her lid.

The 24th is our 3 year anniversary. (3 years? that seems like such a short period of time, and yet neither of us have ever made it this long!) I feel like we've been together forever.

the 26th is the next Battle at Buffalo.

the 1st is Avenue Q at Sheas.

THe 2nd we somehow make it to the airport at 4 am and head to Florida.

WHEW~! what a busy time of year?

Oh and then when we get back we GET A PUPPY!!!

Smoke

Sometimes it blows my mind that I quit smoking.

Today I held the cigarette of a coworker while he was with a customer. It wasn't lit or anything, but it felt very natural in my hand. I think about the act of smoking, and of course it came right back to the social thing. Smoking was always a social thing.

Weird. Somehow I quit cold turkey after like 10 years without any desire. Except when I am drunk.

Day Off.

Day OFF! I also have Friday and Sunday off.

Woke up at 10:30! Wow that is a great feelin- waking up late..

Chatting now with my brother whose Golden Retriever is in the middle of having puppies. He is doing the reporting while his wife is helping with the delivery. I was hoping that she would pop out a random dachshund for me, but I somehow don't see that happenin.

Snap Pea Crisps are so delicious, but something tells me that they are extremely bad for you.

My big plans for the day? carmelizing onions, roasting some garlic and making a big crazy pasta salad with it all. we will see how that works out... i have a feeling I may be getting a bit silly.

Watched Sweeney Todd last night. Wow gore. I knew it was (tim burton and all) but man.. Burning flesh is disturbing. I was also amused to see that three characters from the Harry Potter movies were in this movie. Bellatrix LeStrange, Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape. I don't know their real names.

Anyway, I should be off to some cookin for my woman. She is soooo spoiled.

and the strange thing is that the blood that is involved in sweeny todd almost seems more jarring because, musical and all, you don't expect it to be as bloody... the first throat slashing experience you almost think... well they aren't going to be too graphic... and then... well they are...

leetee writes at 08:13:11 04/10/08 - Comment #33774: Helena Bonham Carter is a Tim Burton standard because he is her fuck du jour. She has a reputation for being a bit of a husband stealer.... i think Tim Burton is her 2nd or 3rd man who was married when they met and started to date right at about the time he decided to get divorce. Coincidence? Perhaps.

As an actress, i like her, though... with Johnny Depp, aka Mr Pretty, i cannot imagine anything but fun! I thought she was brilliant in a small Canadian film called Margret's Museum -- tres creepy.

The only thing that is stopping me from seeing Sweeney Todd is the blood... i can't take it!! My friend, Mark, says it isn't bad, but he likes slasher films and mob movies. How am i supposed to trust HIS judgement?

jenks writes at 02:33:36 04/10/08 - Comment #33772: yeah she's sort of a burton standard.... I spaced on her being bellatrix though. Cool, thx. (she was also in fight club. I love her.)

fellyconnelly writes at 10:54:55 04/09/08 - Comment #33767: helena bonham carter played both mrs. lovett in sweeney todd as well as bellatrix lestrange in harry potter. And as i look her up in Imdb, I realize that she, like johnny depp, are often in Tim Burton's movies (corpse bride, charlie and chocolate factory, Big Fish, Planet of the apes... etc... Shes my hero..

Oh and Timothy Spall is beadle/pettigrew. he creeps me out.

jenks writes at 07:53:05 04/09/08 - Comment #33756: weird, I JUST watched that the other day and have been talking about it. I didn't like that they totally didn't finish it. They never told you what happened to the chick!! I mean really.
but I do love alan rickman (snape). And hate the beatle. ewww. And I knew I recognized him, now I know it was as pettigrew. Thanks! but really, what an ugly man he is. which one was bellatrix?

tinypliny writes at 06:57:41 04/09/08 - Comment #33746: Hahaha. Caramelizing onions is a lot of fun and takes spoiling to a whole new level!

james writes at 05:10:12 04/09/08 - Comment #33743: I can just see the father's face "A Dachshund? You cheating whore!"

Enjoy spoilin your woman.

protests

i am so very excited for the lovely weather, even if i know that it will be all overwith in a few days. weird ass buffalo ups and downs in weather has been craaazyyy...

I've been taking note of the fact that there are all these demonstrations and protests against the beijing olympics. good for them! It really is amazing to think that all so far both london and paris have had protests against them, and have tried to extinguish the torch. countries pulling together! i wonder what will happen when they make their way to san francisco? that will be interesting to see.... I do intend on boycotting watching the olympics myself, which is very sad for me since i love me some olympics.

im at work and its a crappy crappy day. losing money left and right. grrr... and off i go to find me some lunch.

sleeping with fishes

i feel so out of the loop after being away for so long.

We got our internet kit yesterday and we are just waiting for a) me to go buy a wireless router and b) the service to be turned on. Currently I am online at work, and for once, i'm not crazy busy out of my eyeholes. Which is good because I have no desire to do ANYTHING today.

Happy birthday (e:jim)!

i just realized i have been missing for several days and yet i have nothing really to say. How very lame!

catchup

been without internet for a few days. The internet gods have weilded the angry hand of encryption onto our free web access.

At work now. Lunch break. Just ordered some internet so god knows when we are going to get it at home. Also going to probably need to buy a wireless modem at some point or string cable across my apartment like christmas lights. maaann this is cutting into my puppy money.

Friday we watched 'anatomy' and i have to say its a good thing we didn't have internet because i would have had to yell at (e:jim) for that one... it was sooo baddddd! actually it probably would have been much better if it was dubbed in english. Because the voice overs were done by people who didn't even seem interested in acting at all. it was horrible. Subtitles would have been more acceptable.

Saturday's battle at buffalo was the greatest ever... my teacher even slid across the floor on his head. the greatest move ever.

Sunday we went to the park behind the albright knox. which was pretty cool and i can't wait to have a puppy dog that i can bring there...

and now monday. back to work.

Cow

I just spent about ten mnutes looking at the Dachshund Rescue of North America's website and at all the special need puppies and I think I would like to cry. I wish I had the place and space for fostering dogs.

Easter was a great day off. Went to my grams for brunch and chatted it up with all my fam. Nice to see everyone finally after all these months. you would think that i would see them more often now that i've moved within 80 miles of them, huh?

Well my sister in law works for a butcher and I came home with a bunch of ham steaks and chicken. In a few weeks she and her brother are splitting a quarter of a cow, and she invited me to split some of it too. Score. Cow.

Lessee what else. Going to the Toronto Zoo on April 18th. Since I don't have a passport I believe I need a DL PLUS a birth certificate. I think I have my birth certificate somewhere, but it must be hanging out in the same place that Lauren's missing passport is.

Ah well time to get ready for work...
