Category: “pointless”

Seriously.

This weekend, starting sometime around lunch on Saturday, I had something very sharp in my left eye. I am worried that it may still be there too. How in the hell can something stay in your eye that long!? Even when you are flushing it out with solution like every few minutes? Here’s hoping it’s gone.

This weekend, we also went to an Italian Greyhound meet up. While it was fun to see all of the IGs, and let Sydney play (i.e., get humped by) with other IGs, it wasn’t everything I was hoping for. I honestly was hoping that it was going to be a gathering where people actually talked and tried to get to know one another. Well, the only people that we “met” were people that we went up to and engaged in conversation. And of those, we didn’t even get many of their names! It was so strange, honestly, because why else would you have a “meet up”? I know it is for the dogs to play, but that can’t be it? Or can it? Maybe it was the heat. Either way, we will give it a go next month and see if people are friendlier.

Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful weekend. I did watch Superman II, and came to the realization that many of the movies that are made today are WAY better than movies made 20+ years ago. It is almost like they take making movies more seriously now… perhaps it is because their is more money riding on it? Either way, I am grateful movie making has gotten better (although, not in every case… I did see that Basic Instinct 2 is out on DVD).

Weekends should include Monday (or Friday)… I am still set on weekend mode this morning. Eh, you get to enjoy the random train of though as a result. Hope your Monday is more eventful!

For some reason, I literally have been dreaming about crocs lately. I don’t know why. So, taking that as a sign that I probably needed some, I was going to write a post today about how I felt like I needed to go and get some crocs. Instead, I decided to go and get some. I love how buying things can make you happy! I know of one other blogger that has these same colored crocs, but I know that the bright orange can be a bit too bright for some… but not me. It is my favorite color, and I am excited that it comes in this color. Alright, enough about the damn shoes. Just know that I am glad I got them! Even though I used to think they were ugly! Now, I love ’em!

(as you can probably tell, there ain’t a lot going on with me right now. I’m just saying.)

Just waiting for tomorrow! Another day off in celebration of our nations birthday; aka, another reason to get drunk! Can’t wait for that! Tonight, we are hitting the drive in to see Superman Returns for John’s birthday, and tomorrow, well, we are getting drunk! Fun times.

I wish we had more national holidays. Also, since the holiday is here, and Best Buy needed a reason to put stuff on sale, they decided to put Showgirls on sale for like $6. James is getting it for me. Possibly the best Fourth of July present EVER. Anyone want to come over and watch Nomi do her thang? I know I do!

Because I WANT THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, it will still be on sale August 11, the day my “new every two” kicks in. If you get one between now and then, let me know if it rocks your face off. If it sucks, be sure to tell me that too.

And, since I have never done this, I say, let’s do an open thread… say whatever. And, if you want to ask me anything, here’s your chance. Thanks to everyone who was nice yesterday, and liked the poem! Today is a much better day! Now get to telling me/asking me cool things! Weekend starts… NOW!

Today was a nothing day; but I did take this and other pictures of a beautiful magnolia down the street from me. Now, back to my margarita! See ya’ll tomorrow! Hope you are having a great weekend!

Apparently, today has decided to be “one of those days”… I will just get through it by listening to lots of Sarah McLachlan and the Carpenters, and hopefully staying dry. Hopefully, we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.

Till then!

UPDATE: Reading the “best of” on Craigslist can make anyone feel better; even me.

Yesterday was great… It was nice to have a relaxing day to do nothing; even though we did so much. Check out my orchid photos; that place was insane. And James and I were practically the only people there; it was like our own little paradise. It was totally cool. I wish that I knew how to grow all that stuff, because orchids are flipping beautiful, and I would love to just be surrounded by them all of the time.

Also, mad shouts to Lori for her incredible patience. Sorry I was 20 minutes late for meeting you at Sweetwater… I feel like a total tool for that. I will definitely take stock, and work on NOT doing that for the future, mmmkay? Sorry! But hey, at least we got to have several beers together, and that WAS awesome. =o)

I also want to say that I totally need more time off; I am saving up that vacation time, and I may just do something crazy with it when I get enough… I just need to get away; and days off just make me realize that more. I feel like lately that I have had this invisible chip on my shoulder that just comes out at the weirdest times; and it is almost like I am reacting more than thinking some of the time. I really need to watch out for that, because it is making things that are normally nothing, bother the hell out of me. I am seriously thinking that I might want to look into getting counseling or something; for real this time, because I really need something to push me further. I want someone that I can talk with, and who will push me to take steps that I know I should be taking, but for whatever reason, I’m not (which I think is the cause of my “chip). A lot of people will see counseling as a problem, but being a pusher of public health, I see it as a preemptive solution; get in there before there is a real problem. You are as smart as hell if you can bring yourself to do that, after all. So yeah… kind of a rambler today, but eh, it is my Monday; I don’t think that I am supposed to be on point.

And, I gave you a pretty orchid to look at, so shut it.

Last night, before I went to bed, I must say that I got a little excited at the prospect that the living room I was sitting in, would not be the living room the following night. Nope, we would be transforming (!) the guest bedroom that is just off of the living room into the new living room, and the living room would become a formal sitting parlor or some uber gay junk like that. Well, much to my dismay, those plans have been halted in their tracks by the willy-nilly dumbness of a little leather daddy that works at American Signature Furniture. The couch we purchased that was GUARANTEED for delivery for today, is well, not in. And, to top it all off, it won’t be coming to our house until next week. (Next week!?!?! That deserves the biggeset gay sigh I can muster!)

BUT! At least we get shipping for free, and we don’t have to go and get it now. At least I can take some solace in that. I love that when I called, this leather daddy (I saw the sticker on his car, I am not stereotyping based solely on the hand gestures and the handlebar mustache) says, “I am just a complete moron, huh? I can’t believe I messed this up this bad. This is totally me. I totally apologize.”

It’s fine queen Anne’s lace, don’t fret a little hair on your, well, body. We haven’t even finished painting the room, nor have we gotten rid of the bed yet. Perhaps… this is a blessing in disguise?

On another note; why is it that I am such a sucker for sales? There was a clearance sale at REI today, and I ended up buying a kick ass northface fleece that is to die for. Before any of you say ANYTHING, it was only $45 bitches… it would have been a crime to NOT buy it. I think that I even made money by buying that, at least, if you use my logic. Either way, you will be jealous when you see me in it; that, and my “homosexualize” shirt. Oh yeah.

Finally, another lesson from the Abs Diet chronicles:
Protein Powder is the devil. At least, it is something related to fire and brimstone; because it smells god awful, and it makes your stomach hurt and burn. But it is good for you right??? Then I will have another please! Man, beauty hurts!

Having to repair a floor to ceiling crack in your soon-to-be “new” living room, before your new couch arrives next weekend:

OR…

Almost cutting the tip of your middle finger off, as you expertly wield a box cutter:

I knew there was a reason they put warnings on those things!! I will be fine, nothing to worry about, in fact, it doesn’t even really hurt (since I probably cut through all of the nerves). And don’t worry, it really isn’t THAT big of a cut; but hey, I’m gay, everything needs to have a certain level of drama, honey. Also, one fun side effect, is that I can’t use that finger to type, and it has made this one of the longest entries ever, to type.

The worst thing, is that now I’ll never be a hand model! DAMN YOU FATES! You and your cruel, cruel truth! Ah, another dream dashed…
