Randomness..
- It's midnight and I am not asleep yet. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a looong day.
- Steve-O and I finally tossed our full size bed and put together a king. It is heaven. The only problem is that I must be a complete moron. I've been planning on moving up to a king for a couple years now, and purchased a new metal frame in March when we moved...and apparently tossed out the extender bar to make it a king/california king.
- I received a random phone call the other day from the Niagara Falls Board of Education. Several weeks ago I heard they were selling off the old lap tops from the kids @ the new high school, (they issued them to the kids when the new high school opened about 5 yrs ago and have decided that they are having too many issues w/ them coming up missing so they are not handing out laptops anymore. Like no one could see that coming a mile away. Niagara Falls + teenagers + laptop. You do the math.) and I went down to put my name in.
I got called and was promptly issued an $81 laptop. :) Yeah, it sucks, but it works. It'll do till I get my tax return next year. :)
- I joined Curves and I love it so far. We'll see how long that lasts.
- I've started recording all the "My So-Called Life" episodes on "Noggin". I am quite amused with them.
Kay. Bedtime.....I hope.
From what I read there will be a Buffalo alternative school where the kids get laptops. The computers will have an active GPS chip and can be tracked, to bad they didn't do that back then but I'm guessing that was a lot more expensive. Permalink: Randomness_.html

Weekend funness
Anyway, today we went to this Animal Expo @ the Niagara Power Authority. They always have cool free stuff there for kids to do but this took the cake! They had presentations with monkeys, police dogs, local wildlife conservation/rescue groups showing off this nifty red-tailed hawk who had been hit by a car and is unable to be releasd back into the wild (excuse the crappy pictures!! I forgot my real camera and had to use my phone.):
Several services had tents set up (greyhound & german shepard rescues, assistance dogs, etc..), some local shop that specializes in reptiles was set up, but we missed their show. :(
The last thing we spotted before leaving was a guy who brought out a falcon... and once the falcon was away he brought out this:
A Bald Eagle!!! What a gorgeous animal!!!
Does anyone know what kind of bug this is? There were a few of them on one of my parents' trees. They were all curled around backward (as shown) and seemed to be moulting or something. Creepy little buggers!!

Ahhh, debauchery....
(e:theecarey) 's Saturday birthday festivities went down in a style that is to be expected by anyone who knows either of us well. :)
We never did make it out to see David Usher, but we had no problems finding other ways to amuse ourselves.
More details if she cares to divulge them.

If anyone ever got a chance to see Moist play live (like I did, many moons ago) you know David Usher knows how to work a crowd!
Definitely check it out if you are so inclined.

One odd habit I have is that after I watch aforementioned show or shows on Discovery Health Channel, etc.. I find myself looking up medical issues/procedures/pictures online. (Steve must think I'm crazy. The other day I had to explain to him why I was looking up transgender operation websites. lol)
Well today I saw the oddest thing and had to look it up. A woman on Nip/Tuck was found to have a Lithopedion
In short, a baby that was conceived and was never born. A "Stone Baby" that has spent so much time inside it has become calcified. *shudders*
It's really amazing what you can find on-line. Here's a link to a story I found about one complete with pictures: Scary Stuff!
And while you're at it, look up "fetus in fetu" aka: Disappearing Twin. I saw a show about it on Discovery where a 7 yr. old went in for surgery for a tumor that turned out to be his partially-formed twin. I haven't found any pictures on-line from that one, but they showed them performing an "autopsy" on it. It was a solid ball of cells- no insides. Very weird.
Yes, I know I'm odd. :p

2 days off and nowhere to go...
- yawns* It's amazing how tiring it is doing NOTHING!! :)
This was supposed to be my and (e:theecarey) 's mini-NYC vacation jaunt, but with her new job she just couldn't take the time off. We will eventually make it up there. Probably either around her b-day (Sept 17th) or around mine (October 13th). I seriously can't wait. I haven't been there in FOREVER. (the pictures I took on the last one had the WTC in them...and that was several years before they were taken from us....LONG time!!)
My other great, big accomplishment was getting through the first 3 disks of Nip/Tuck Season 3. :D I love that show. I'm glad I didn't get into it until it went to DVD (much like Sex and the City), because I would hate to have to wait for episodes. Season 4 is starting on Sept 5th. I'm sure I will be DVR-ing it because I can never seem to make it to the TV for the same show every week. :)
After this weekend (working afternoons straight through) I have the following Friday and Saturday off, then the following 2 weekends I'm off on Saturday and Sunday. Someone do something fun and invite me, dammit! lol Hey (e:redletterweek) , maybe we can actually make it out for coffee at some point then!!! Swing shift sucks. :
Take care, (e:strip)pers!
