Feelin Groovey....

For some reason my brain is stuck on repeat. Feelin' Groovey... Da da da da dum da... I have no idea where that song came from but it is in my head. We had a peaceful weekend (with almost no internet). I was online but only for a minute or two which reminds me that I seem to be receiving spam once again. This morning I heard about a "possible interest" and "the best source of calcim rifpjch". My pop-up blocker must be out dated because those weird ones keep appearing. Every time I take a minute to prevent that shit some snot rocket figures out a way to sneak past.

My tummy has butterflies dancing around in it. On Friday I requested a schedule of courses from the Mount, I will be taking a course during the first summer semester. The second will be interfering with my vacation plans. Then full time this August.

Mosquitos

Yes I saw those pesky blood sucking bugs while I was sitting on my front porch. Now I itch all over. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Work was good today, not too stressful. I have had a change of heart towards that place for a while now. It is very refreshing. The girls I work with are great and Jesi is only two steps away. I have email so I can bug Katie any time of the day. Things are seeming to be leveling out - for the time being...

March 25, 2003

Eh, yo.

Check out Kathleen's page. Her graphics are great. I think that we should get together and make websites for a living. That would be fun. Anyway... She also has great photos of phish in concert from this February. They were taken the by the Katie. Yep, I will leave that typo because it is fun. Anyway, I need to go outside and play today is too beautiful to waste inside...

Springtime.

New Paltz sent me another letter of rejection today. I have already received a letter telling me that the number transfer students has been met and that I cannot attend. Now I get another letter dated March 15 stating that I cannot be admitted. Well Duh. The semester started in January. What in the hell is that school thinking??

I did not wear a coat today. I went outside to flip burgers in a wifebeater. (What a horrible name for a shirt; we all know what I am talking about though...) I am so happy that the 4 foot mounds of snow have melted. I can only see tiny little splats of left over snow.

Abrupt end to my thoughts. Monster Garage is on.

2:30 am.

Last night we went to a local bar to celebrate a good friend's birthday. I gave him a ten and told him to get roll of quarters so he can play pool. Eric and I played pool with him for a few hours. More friends piled into the bar. In the back of the bar a man with a duffle bag sat at a table all by himself. He began taking things out of the bag. I thought he was playing with fishing gear. He was making jewelry to sell. It was odd. Of course all of my money was liquidated but I ended up taking home a free pair of orange earrings. The two ladies I was playing darts with also got a free set. I don't have pierced ears. But they are hanging up because it is the thought that counts...

Taxes.

I need to pick up my taxes, they have been completed for a while. I just need to drive out there and get them. (Hey Ma! Areosmith is on the radio right now - Sweet Emotion... That is a good song for today.) I heard high in the 60s, sunny or rainy I don't give a shit - it will be warm! It's payday Friday! Tomorrow I want to drive out to the Gilded Otter. I love the beer there, hell the food is good too. We haven't been there all winter because of the cold, dark, hellish weather. (my hell will be snow to my waist with a beach in sight...) I only want one beer and ½ an appetizer. I will be a cheap date - less than $10.

I am happy for my friend Jesi she moves into her own apartment April 1st (more likely the 5th...). Hey if you need help I have a jeep! That baby can carry lots of shit. Now you two are our inspiration.

Music.

There are tons of women artists that I do not have on disk. Why I have slowed stopped my cd purchases? Well because I want to save money. I love music and will forever collect it in any shape or form. I have downloaded Kazaa. Now I can get any Tori Amos song that I want. I am going to try to increase my women in rock music collection. Hell, I want to increase my collection of women in rock/funk/pop/jazz. I just downloaded Tori Amos with Maynard. How fucking cool is that? If it is a popular song then "oops" I am not cool, but damn I didn't know that Tori and Tool hooked up. That is an interesting combination. (The song sounds okay but I can hear kids screaming. I know that it comes with a live show - but shut the fuck up I want to hear the artist I paid for... that my friends is another story...) Anyway I am happy to be increasing my music collection. Sorry Artists. I cannot afford to purchase your cd... But I love your music! Thanks!

Fresh.

Check out the new skin I made for my mother's site. They are the pictures that she took when she took the cruise to Hawaii last fall. If you read this site but rarely visit hers please take a minute to wish her some hope and happiness. She has been rather upset most of the times, and I would like her to be happy once again. I am working on 4 more skins for her site, but they are still in the works. I love designing sites, I may have a style that I stick with, but I love it.

Lifted.

So I borrowed a quote from a certain someone's page. I don't think she will mind. I just saw it and thought of my job: Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. -Albert Einstein

Spring-ish Cleaning and random thoughts.

I hope this warm weekend is not a tease. I am so happy that I have begun my spring cleaning. My dog sheds like crazy. I have cleaned up about fifty tumble weeds of dog hair. Everyday I pick up dog hair. Today I found piles that I did not know existed.

The house is empty. Quiet, except for the radio that I have turned to full blast. The washer and dryer are all mine. The laundry is close to done. Why Summer Rules: Reason #56 You wear less, so you wash less.

Last night was great as usual. I love entertaining. Sometimes I go all out, other times I just make spinach dip. I can't wait for warm summer nights with back yard barbaques. I think I want to invest in some high quality torches. I love fire lit nights in the back yard. A few friends having a drink or two. Silly conversations.

Last night I made a site for Jesi. If she digs it and wants to get her own dot com I will be more than happy to help. She is just starting out and I am giving her a nice home. (Jesi - it would cost about $30 total for the year with certain hosting companies & registering the name of the site) Just a few minutes ago I made myself a new-ish skin. It is more of a modified old skin...

Tonight Eric and I are off to the city to see the Allman Brothers. This year will probably be the last year we go to see so many shows. But we will always go to the vibes. I just love it. Hopefully it doesn't change. At the phish show all I could think about was being at the vibes... Oh summer time...

My sweetheart is on his way home from work; he is bringing me lunch!

Real Simple.

I work with magazines all day long. My job rotates around them. I hate them. I loathe them. But! I love Real Simple. I have been torn with this relationship. I hate the clutter of magazines. I hate clutter in general. I have a stack of Real Simple magazines. I hate that stack. Yet I love the magazine. Do you see my dilemma? In this month's issue I recall reading something about clipping favorite articles. Ah Ha! Why did I not think of that myself? I have been a "problem solver" all of my life. I realized my problem solving abilites in 4th grade however that is another story. Back to the point. I am going to clip my favorite articles and keep them in a binder. That way I get the magazine I love with out the clutter...

March 11, 2003

Hrm.

I have a yahoo email address. Yep. I created it in November maybe... Today was the first time that I have checked it since December. I had seven new messages. Do you know how wonderful that feels? No spam.

Hey ma - This is a gadjet thingy!

March 10, 2003

Oh, well.

So I missed the George Clinton show last night. It is killing me that I did not go. When will I ever get the chance to see him perform again? Eh, on to something else...

So I will be mailing out the letter to our friend that is in the USMC. I pray that he will be okay and that I will see him soon. But I am sure that I won't see him for a while. I think his birthday is this month... I know that he is younger than I am, be safe Aaron.

Change.

I need things in my life to be simpler. I need something new, something different, something fresh. Each week I spend about three hours total with my mother buying and making our lunches for the week. I love those lunches, they are the best part of my day. The lunch does not just last for the silly ½ hour. Nope, it includes breakfast, a mid-morning snack and an after lunch snack. It is all around goodness throughout the day...

Giggle.

Hey avid readers! Heehe, that was a joke. Anywho... Wanna laugh? Check out this and this- thanks to Ariel.

Blue skies.

Hey I have something new to share with everyone. It's snowing! Erf, that is not new. What was I thinking? It has been snowing here since Christmas Eve.

Ch, ch, ch, changes...

March 04, 2003

Okay.

I want to go see this and this too. I have until May 19th for the Matisse-Picasso show. Ep! That date will come before you know it. Thanks Renee for enlightening me. I have been in a funk and am slowing comming out of it. Checking out a passion of mine should surely help me feel more like myself. I should start reading more about art history, it makes me feel alive.

I have a really important decision to make this week...

Monday.

Part time hell now full time nightmare.

March 01, 2003

Huh?

Reserve: to set or have set aside or apart (reserve a hotel room)
Request: to ask as a favor or privilege (requests to be excused)
Merriam-Webster Online

I wanted to punch the man behind the desk in the eye. I did not have reservations, I had a request. There were no rooms left that fit my "Requests" regardless of the fact that I had made "Reservations" TWO months ago. I had asked why bother with "Reservations"? His snooty retort "To ensure that you have a room." I calmly replied "It seems as though you are telling me that I do not have a room." There was a fifteen minute conversation about the damn room and finally one appeared out of no where... Not exactly what I had "Requested" but it was suitable. $189. And the show had already begun...

Ugh, well we got into the show half way through Bathtub Gin. I have to say this "Am I getting old?" ugh. Things were not the same. I don't even know how to express the difference. Don't get me wrong, I did have a good time but I would much rather be at the vibes.
