Hail Mary

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.


image

So I guess escallating the war is being called a Hail Maliki pass, as in the Hail Mary pass in football. I have always liked this prayer for some reason.

So here are some quotes from our DEFENSE SECRETARY

"I would confess I am no expert on Iraq."

"I am no expert of military matters."

How sad.

Maybe I just don't know the full context of these quotes, but they are still scary. I feel bad for the troops that have to serve longer than they had signed up for. What a way to get shit on.

Alvin! Simon! Theodore!

I was just chatting with (e:mrmike) and for some reason I remembered one of the toys from my childhood. Now I'm so sad that neither I or my parents still have any of these toys. We moved a lot and it just didn't seem important to keep anything. Really I don't think I have any more toys.

When I loved Christmas, I would play the Alvin and the Chimpmunk's Xmas album on my fisher price record player. It would drive my parents insane to hear their 'chipmunk' voices all high and chipmunk like 24/7. I can't imagine why they wouldn't like it. A couple of years ago I found the album on vinyl in perfect condition.

Wascally Wabbit chewed the corners oh so slightly. Now it is in near mint condition...


image

One Xmas me and my brother and sister all got a Chipmunk doll. My older sister got Simon, I got Alvin and my brother got THeodore. When you pull the string it would say things like "Alvin loves you"




image

I also had this. It is so awesome.


image

At a flea market in Florida I found Theodore out of the three in their glassware set. Now I just need to find Alvin and Simon.

More camera phone pics

This is my first picture. It kind of scares me.
image

I finally put the plastic in the windows. Look its crystal clear. Just in time for the nasty weather. It is snowing and windy now.
image

My mom's husband found this lamp for me at a flea market. The piggy is a lighter that shoots flames out of his nostrils.

My roommate

image

I made this the background on my phone. The plant hangs over into my bed so its sort of like I am one with it.

image

Oops almost forgot this one. Got this calendar for my roommates birthday. Its called Extraordinary Chickens. Yes it would have been a great gift for (e:mike), but he doesn't use calendars. You guys should see these chickens. I had no idea chickens could be so exotic. One of them looks like an Arctic chicken or something because of his downlike plumage.

My new phone

I did it and went to get a new phone today. Screw you CRICKET, I'm free of your crap now.

My new phone is so cool. Best of all when my phone rings the ring doesn't make me want to slit my wrists. $10 after rebate.

Pics I can upload to the computer via text messaging. Here is a tester.


image

This means that all the times of thinking "oh I wish i had a camera so i could post this on estrip", i'll have one.
How fun!

I went with Verizon. The phone is superclear and amazing reception in my apt. What a relief. I went with a 450 min a month plan which i have decided isn't enough, so i'll have to upgrade to 900.

Traveler

Here are a few jumbled photos of my travels on the grey hound and on a Boeing 757. I didn't feel like taking any other pics of my trip. Next time...

Phone hell

This is just cause I need to bitch right now. Maybe I should take up stiching?

These stupid companies are at the point of making me want to blow something up. Oops are we allowed to say that? I was just kidding I swear. Please don't send homeland security after me.

There is nothing that gets me more aggravated than calling companies only to get caught up in a complicated system of push 1 for this, 2 for this, 3 for that.

HSBC has this new security key code I have to enter to do online banking. I forgot it twice. They only give you two opportunities to enter code and if they are incorrect they lock it forever until you call the 800# to have them unlock it. Once it is unlocked you have to reset everything and then call them back. They then ask you a million questions and keep you on the phone for like fifteen minutes with someone who doesn't speak english all that well.

Then I decide to pay my CRICKET bill two days early. Usually I don't remember until they send me a text message the day before it is due to remind me. I can't stand this government phone anymore. The service is horrible and I can't even have a converstation with my boyfriend without dropping the call or not being able to hear or some crap. I get only 30 minutes of roaming time a month which is almost nothing considering if you call and get someone's voicemail and hang up right away they charge you two minutes for. They also delete minutes everytime you text. So for $60/mo I pay for my aggravation.

To make things worse CRICKET has changed their payment policy. If you are one day late they charge you $15. If you are three, goodbye service. They use to allow extensions but now on top of crummy service they are unbearably rigid. You can't call and talk to someone about it because they force you to pay your bill before allowing you the luxury of talking with one of their phone bitches. I owe $30 in late payments now and I have decided to not give them any money at all. I'm getting a new phone. Does anyone have a plan that doesn't suck?

A Guide to Elegance

I think that I have achieved success in making my own business. From my craigs list ad online I was able to find a woman who wants me to clean for 10 hrs a week. That in combination with the jobs I allready have will provide a very steady income until I graduate. Yay for me and creating a solution to my financial problems. Still I have a bumpy road ahead, but I think that I have improved my direction.

My new client is from California. I worked at her home today and cleaned two of her bathrooms and the kitchen while washing the bed clothes and making the beds. Not bad I would say for 6 hours considering I washed all the walls and stuff. She told me that in California they normally have the cleaner live in the house and that she has found that they don't normally do that here in buffalo. Maybe I will if I get booted from where I am living I'll become a livein Butler. This is the first time I have been asked to do someone's personal laundry. It seems so strange to me, cause for me I would never imagine anyone else doing my laundry. She has two dogs that are both fun and annoying. One is constantly running around worried and barking. Cuties though.

Now that I got some cash I can do some light Christmas shopping. Got a few ideas after window shopping in the "village". My friend wants this book:

A Guide to Elegance: For Every Woman Who Wants to Be Well and Properly Dressed on All Occasions

I called Talking Leaves to see if they had it. I couldn't help but giggle like a little girl as I read the title over the phone.
