This was our long weekend and we had a great time! We did SciFi Friday with margaritas then we slept in on Saturday. After getting up and drinking plenty of coffee we cut down one of the nasty old apple trees in the backyard. New chainsaw = WUV!

We got to bed fairly early on Saturday night and got up at the usual time on Sunday (7:30am). We got our hair cut by our pal Keith and then we put up our new mailbox. We attacked the privet and honeysuckle in the front yard and pooped out around 4pm. I was clicking around and found Ed Wood on IFC so we watched that before the Oscars got under way. I was surprised that Crash beat out Brokeback Mountain, but sometimes that happens when there is too much buzz. I’m very pleased that Reese Witherspoon got Best Supporting Actress. That was cool.

Neither of us slept worth a damn last night so we dragged ourselves out of bed at 8:30am and did some work this morning. I had to work on Oracle, I’m a week behind thanks to the flu. Then we went to L5P for our Monday ritual: Criminal Records for comix, Vortex for food. It was glorious outside today, so the trip was really great. Dani was supposed to call us, but she never did so we did our thing as usual. Dunno what’s up with that girl. But anyway, we had a great time and now we’re home trying not to fall asleep as we type! Heh!

We ran into Jet and we’re on for new tattoos on Monday March 20th. I’m getting my hamseh and Nick’s getting, well, something. :-)

As for St Patty’s, we will be at the Vortex early (5pm) so Nick can get his Rob Zombie signed poster then we’ll prolly come back this way, but who knows, we may just head to East ATL for the Prick Magazine St Patty’s party. I guess it depends on whether anyone is coming down here to join us for the weekend.

Well, it’s time to enjoy some Strongbad! [This site still uses Flash, sorry! -A 2017] L8r.

Yep, I felt better this morning until the fever came back. :-( I ended up on the damn couch in and out of consciousness all day. Bleh. This bug is definitely worse than I thought it was.

I hope no one gets it! It BLOWS.

No problem! This ingenious guy has put together a graph paper generator to make any sort of graph you can imagine at a variety of sizes!

Go forth and make yourself some graph paper!

I found this because I need some Chinese calligraphy graph paper to practise my calligraphy. How cool is this site?

:-)

So, my feelings of unease were, indeed justified. I now have a mild upper respiratory thing. A little congestion, a cough hanging out at the top of my lungs. Nice. Oh, and now, as I look at my thermometer, a 99.3ºF temp to go with it.

BLARGH!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be ensconced upon my couch with kitty feet warmers. :-P

PS: oh, and you can add Aunt Flo to my list of maladies. WAH! :-(

Gods, I can’t believe it’s Friday already. This week has been a blur. Dealing with The Stupidâ„¢ has worn me completely out. I really don’t know how some people can work with morons day in and day out without completely losing their minds. I know I certainly can’t. Just 4 days and I’m whipped.

Anyway. I don’t feel 100%, either. I’ve had spotty sleep (even WITH sleeping pills) and my body is currently boycotting the idea of a menstrual cycle. Which is quite fine with me as long as I feel ok – but I don’t. Hell, I wish the whole system would dry up and fall out, thus saving the trouble of all the hormones, bad moods, feeling like shit, insomnia, and general hatred of the whole ‘being a girl’ thing. It sucks. If you are not a breeder (which I am SO totally NOT, for those of you who are new here and are unfamiliar with my hatred of sniveling brats) then I really don’t see the need for all this bother. It should be optional equipment, IMO. Really, the only thing I like about being a girl is that I can occasionally get my way by batting my big blue eyes. Oh, and I do like to drive men wild. Flirting is fun. Otherwise, being a girl pretty much sucks.

Well, at least I’m not a dumb boy. Boys are just plain DUMB. Just take a quick peek at the Darwin Awards. See? Mostly guys. Poor things, hindered by that pesky Y chromosome. Heh, reading a few of those has lifted my spirits a bit. :-)

I’ve got to get up from here and get the damn payables done then start the inventory. AND deliver a check to an employee who the manager “forgot” to put into the system. For TWO goddam weeks. ::sigh:: See what I mean? Blargh!
