any other week

Friday:



The power blinked off last night and killed about a dozen PCs. Made a ton of 17 x 11 packets for my boss. Had a meeting about the small claims letter mail merge database thingy. had a chicken salad for lunch. no practice. ordered a pizza. Penni took a bunch of old people to the zoo, she is wiped out and napping.

Thursday:

had a chicken salad for lunch. Had practice. very very tired driving to practice. we have a 30 minute 2 man set now. i snapped the ring on my snare head. Cut my hand at practice and bled on some stuff. suxorz. printed out GWAR ticket for Me Chuck and Scott.
Earlier this week.

Downloaded the new Nine Inch Nails Album, The Slip. It is good, better than Ghosts.

Worked on a new Song, lots and lots of changes. it is very morningface-ish \m/

received a 400 dollar phone billing (Penni versed 2 weeks of in non-peak hours)

Did a telecommuter site visit to pickup equipment and return the time warner cable box.

Penni is making a lot of progress with her piano dvd.


Monday:

memorial day had to work, building was basically empty.

Black Sabbath verse Penni.

Penni dreamed that the Sysadmin and I were going to magically burn down our townhouse with satanic powers. She dreamed that i told her to leave her Dog and all her clothes behind. Wow. This may be caused by a Black Sabbath documentary we saw yesterday. Yup the song "Black Sabbath" off their first album is that intense.

"We will run straight to the murder" <3

Went to Izzy's for breakfast. Fed Chuck's cats and went grocery shopping. emailed a CPCC programming teacher about microsoft IDEs in the online C++ class. he probabily will not write back. watched Naruto. then took a long work with penni.

Bought the previous Norma Jean album , "O God The After Math" online. The new newest CD "The Redeemer" was 10 times better. I liked the band before I knew they were Christian. If i knew that before i probably would not like them. the lyric are not all gay and bible thumping. the singer has that scared-hurt-hardcore scream like Rollins not a pissed-off-tuff-guy scream like that retard from Pantera. oh well. I like a Christian band, wonder never cease.

Motivational Poster

From Dinner...

"So, do you remember So and So? You used to go to church with him, his wife died in that terrible car accident... Well, he had a stoke about a 3 weeks ago and now he can't move the left side of his body. His mind seems OK but the weird thing is, the type of stroke he had causes him to cry all the time. We will be talking about the church or his old job, and he will start tearing up and quietly weep. He is terribly embarrassed about it."

"So.... Do you play any sports? you look athletic", asks the elderly man.

Saturday

I woke up and watched Sweeney Todd, it was pretty dark, with lots of murder, fake ninja sword throat blood and lots of singing. it was OK, Penni loved it. went with Penni to a chiropractor visit, the doctor is a drummer and we talked for a while. We returned and watched death note, squid billies and shin chan and assy mcgee, we then went to dinner at a mexican restaurant with Penni's family and some out of town realitives. we returned and watched naruto, wow, in review, today i was a freakin' lazy slob.

Friday

Took a long lunch to use flextime covering the sysadmin chair. Picked up a few comic books. The guy who wrote "SCUD" is back in action. SWEET!!!
