damn you, cleveland... (I was really hoping that the tigers would win again...although there are still one and half innings left)

watching the race and chillin', not much going on although I went to work yesterday and I'm going to go tomorrow morning so hopefully I won't have much to worry about this week....working holidays sucks, double time doesn't (actually it's time and half plus straight but who's counting....)

I tried to post from the BE-300 from Pocket IE 3.0 but can't get scripting to run...bother...on the upside, it is reasonably internet functional now...

I bought a compact flash card for my be-300....it's slick but I haven't decided if it's going back or not...

well, I sold Jade today...I have very mixed feelings...I needed to get rid of the car but I'm not sure if I wanted to sell it...hopefully it has gone to a good home...

watching 50 years of abc and feeling very bored with the internet...bother

someone sent this song to me in a letter once and I didn't get it...now I don't know if it was about me or them...

"Motorcycle Drive By"
Third Eye Blind

Summer time and the wind is blowing, Outside in lower Chelsea.
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city,
The sun is always in my eyes,
it crashes through the windows, And I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
That's when I knew, I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm feeling stupid,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
Cigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind, And you smile,
And say the world doesn't fit with you.
I don't believe you, You're so serene.
Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, Guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you,
And there's things I'd like to do that you don't believe in,
I would like to build something, You know it's never going to happen,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive,
And there's this burning, There is this burning.
Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City is evil.
The surface is everything, but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this will be the last time, We'll be friends again.
I'll get over you and you'll wonder, Who I am.
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive,
I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, I paddle out, On the water Alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain. I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise, The sun goes down in my eyes, See this rolling wave, Darkly coming to take me, Home,
And I never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.

The party thing was a flop, unfortunately...nobody I invited showed up and only one person christa invited showed up....it sucked...I did, however, have a few beers and the house is clean...now to keep it that way...the best plan I've come up with is not coming home and just going out every night...if we just sleep here we can't mess it up...however, I don't think that's going to work out...so it's the constant battle for clean now.

It's the Friday Five, a couple of days late...

1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?

2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?

cool ranch doritos

3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?

a good medium steak

4. How do you have your eggs?

scrambled

5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?

my wife and good

got the yard cleaned up and weed whacked, tired and ready for bed...now we have to finish cleaning up the inside of the house...oh, well...don't really have much to post about...although the BMW is fixed and crammed in the garage...runs pretty good now...

ugh, i need to go whack weeds and mess around with yard work...the absolute last things I feel like doing right now....oh, well, I don't think I get much choice in matter since we're having a shingding on Saturday...

I have tight vnc setup and running on the tv computer and it's cool...I also set it up on my computer and posting from my computer right now but controlling it from my laptop...very cool...I am impressed given 800k and a freeware license...

my car is fixed...after a sawzall and about few hours...much better in the ride and handling department...and I had the foresight to put in HD bits so hopefully this won't have to be done again...

this week has been the week from hell....between finals, work, and being sick, I'm am sooo glad it's friday...although I get to go to work tomorrow...

I'm home sick today....I was up all night and still feel queasy when I drink water (food is totally out of the question). Once again, something I don't have time for. I have a job to finish at work and finals to study for and here I am laid up in bed...I've only gotten up to grab water, my laptop, and use the facilities...or in short, I slept most of the morning until now....the worst part is I have a pounding headache, don't think I can take anything, and know I need to be semi-awake so I don't mess up my sleep schedule.

In other news, Alyce's first communion was this weekend...it was one frustrating weekend because of this but she got there and everything got sorted out...thankfully this was the last one...now we get to deal with high school...ugh...

GM is doing 24 hour test drives....I'm half tempted to get a different chevy every day for a week just to mess with people at work...especially since I know a chevy salesman...um, lessee, Monte Carlo, Trailblazer, Tahoe, Avalanche, and Silverado (preferably diesel although I doubt there be one)....hehehe...oh, well, not this week...maybe some saturday I'll get a saab 9-3 convertible....that sounds like fun....

I've just had a surreal week...it was like one crisis after another with Thursday just being weird in a good way, I suppose...completely not what I expected in the good sense, I suppose, very strange...and the today and Tuesday were defintely freakout mad insane fix this now kind of things...which usually suck and in this case, did. I hate when work seems tame and managable...I miss bidding 4 jobs a day for a month and working Saturdays and just pressure, pressure, pressure...it made coming home relaxing and pretty much anything relaxing and minor...now it seems like I spend more time fixing stuff at home than spending time with my wife and children....I hate that...but I guess that's life....

and somehow I managed to lose most of tonight to Quake...oddly enough in deathmatch against Anne...which the odd thing is she enjoyed it and thought it was fun....I was ready to quit and just surf the web and she wanted to keep going....I didn't figure Quake DM would be something that appealed to her...*sniff* I have a gamer grrrrrl for a daughter....I think she's growing up
