Monday, Monday

I though that I would start a new Monday tradition. Every Monday, a new political cartoon comes out by Tom Tomorrow. He is my favourite political cartoonist as he equally is rough on the silly impotent left as he is on the morally bankrupt right. A decent fellow all around (which is to say that he has never disagreed with my position, therefore he must be top drawer! Top. Drawer.)

Without further ado:

Blah

I’m completely drained and depressed this morning and feeling like a sack of something they put in sacks.

Home

Yay!
Home from work and boy am I sick of work — Ok that’s a lie. I’m sick of working. Can’t I just be fabulous and have some SugarDaddy bankroll me? Ok, so I’m no twink — but I’m a bear who wants to be one. Is that so wrong? Yes it probably is. Ah well.
Did some jogging yesterday and raquetball today and I am soooore. That’s a good thing. I am down to 225 lbs and the 36″ waist jeans are getting loose. That’s a good thing too! Wee

Heather and I are soon going to do a bunch of new head shots for use here and for the fun of it, so keep yer eyes tuned for silly fun.

I also plan to work on some Tiki MoodIcons, so we’ll see if I can bring that to fruition. I’ll probably flake on it, but you never know!

Back

Well, I’m back from the weekend Mother’s Day trip.
We stopped at this super cool place called Oceanic Arts in Whittier and spent some green on Tiki things. We almost got a tiki pole or large god, but we’ll have to wait for the next spending spree for that.

Work is ok, lots of stuff to do, so I guess I am glad I was missed.

wow, I’m boring!

Wee!

I doubled my performance in Racquetball today. I actually got up to six points in a game. I had previously only been able to score three. I’m really getting the hang of things and the motions are slowly moving to muscle memory.
I wonder if this will help me with Tennis? I know will be happy if that is the case. She enjoys Tennis, I’d love to be able to be a decent game partner.

I’m not motivated to work at all today, even though my boss’s boss is here. I did write a 6-line sed script that will end up saving our exchange admin’s position 250-work hours a year, so that is enough, I think.

I did forget my friend Don’s 30th Birthday today, so I’m going to have to do some penance to make up for that! Can’t believe I forgot. Must have too much on my mind currently.

The screening of AOTC is tomorrow, then the LucasFilm party, then we head to the airport to fly down to SoCal for mothers day. This year Mother’s day falls on my Father’s birthday, 12 May. He would have been 71. At least he made it to 70. We’ll be down there till Monday night or Tuesday morning and we’ll be driving a UHAUL back with stuff that my mom wants out of the house. Which mean Tools, a chest freezer, and other odd things.

wh00t!

Thursday

Not much here to report.
Still so sore from running – lifting today was difficult to get through, but I did it. Of course I was bad at lunch and has a jr. size hamburger. I’m bad, I know. 🙁
Looks like veggie soup for me tonight!

Jogging

Did my first jogging/running attempt today, did well – about 2 mi. Was more of a jogging/walking thing, on reflection but still.

I finally got past my 230 lb plateau with a 228 weigh-in this week. Plus, I have discovered that a bunch of old (but not worn-out) clothes fit again! Yay, new addition to wardrobe (or is it old re-addition to wardrobe?)

Pics

Just discovered that there is software that comes with the digital camera we are borrowing that will make QTVRs from multiple pics — It stitches them together quite nicely by itself. I was quite impressed (the UI looks like it was made by a Lotus developer reject — I get so tired of UI makers trying to make it look ‘cool.’ Just make it work well, then clean it up damn you!)

Anyway don’t know where that was headed, but the jist is that I’ll be able to make 360 degree views of the Tiki Room, Back Yard, Etc… wee!!

And I’ll start taking requests.

Waaaaa!!

I want to go to E3 this year as id software will be previewing “Doom III.” This game will (yet again) change “gaming as we know it(tm)” With the pixel shading engine for light and shadow, I can’t wait! Better save up for that new nVidia card, though.
