ABJ'S LAST SHOW: FEB 4 at the Beaumont Club

I'm going to miss ABJ, I thought I'd mention that. It was a good run, I'm glad they are all on good terms with this. I just hope everyone (fans and band) stay connected... I've met a lot of cool people through all this.

Everyone else was doing it

I've done it before too, but I updated it.

How well do you know me?

Take it. I dare you.

Dilemna of the Day

So I went to the doc's office today for my two week check up on that whole appendectomy thing that happened week before last. I ended up sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes, as the surgeon got stuck doing an emergency surgery (ha sound familiar?)... and I faced a huge dillemna.

Do I read something intelligent, or do I grab that issue of Highlights and see what Goofus and Gallant are up to?

Stupid being an adult. I grabbed a Newsweek. *sigh* I may never know if Goofus has ever grown up or not.

Can your car do this? I didn't think so.

Go go gadget car!

NO MORE EXCITEMENT PLEASE!

Ahhh. What a past two weeks.

Some people complain that their lives are boring right now *coughs*Groebe*cough* but you know what? I'd totally trade for it at this point. I don't know how much more excitement this old girl can handle.

So... yeah. Last week was the whole Topeka show blurring into getting my appendix out the next day into Thanksgiving... well this past week... aye. I can't go into many details because its kind of a government issue, but yeah, this week... work was NUTS.

What I can say was that I was only doing my job, shut off someone's internet in the dorms for violating network policy, only to find stuff on his server he was running that now has the FBI and Homeland Security type people crawling around campus and asking questions. Most of the info was public knowledge anyway. I had to make a statement Friday that was going to be given to the KSUPD, the RileyCo PD, and possibly the feds. Its downright creepy, I don't really like the fact that the government is looking over my shoulder even more now than normal... I don't handle this kind of stress well.

Anyway... yeah. I'm feeling much better than I was, I'm only having issues with the fact I can't bend over all the way yet, and it still hurts to sleep a little bit. Its healing up though, the incision marks from my bellybutton are almost gone.

Alright, I gotta go do a secret shop over at the mall. Wheeee its raining. Catch y'all laters.

I'm a CSI-aholic.

I watch it on Spike every day. But tonight I saw a new episode (well, i'm watching a new to me episode), and it started out with hockey. Yeah thats going to keep my attention. One of the teams had generic Avs sweaters... but had a different logo. Even had the same socks.

I won't go into the details of what happened to the guy... but being CSI... he died.

Brass says "Hockey's a rough sport."
Grissom replies "Its murder."

Huh. That joke was even lame for me.
