UPS gave all of its employees a holiday turkey. Nice gesture, but I don't know the first thing about how to cook it. Part of the problem is I don't know how big it is; my guess is 12 lbs., maybe? And, what about the stuffing? I've never tried cooking one before, so I really want to. Is there a website with instructions? How long...

Hi back to you too 
Well turkeys aren't too bad, you should thaw it in the fridge and find cooking instructions online somewhere. I did an 8 pound one for thanksgiving and cooked it for 3 hours so it depends on the weight! 
Well turkeys aren't too bad, you should thaw it in the fridge and find cooking instructions online somewhere. I did an 8 pound one for thanksgiving and cooked it for 3 hours so it depends on the weight! Seems like all my recent journal updates have been about how early I start one of my jobs. Well, Monday morning's start time is... drum roll, please... 2:30am. 
I think the rest of the week is 3:45am. Needless to say, it's pretty brutal.
Funny thing is, I'm now a morning person. For 41 years I've been a night person, but now due to UPS I'm...

i was trying to bite it off my fingers. it was still sticky though
140 over 89, and I'm wearing a pair of jeans I haven't fit into in about two years. Guess I must be doing something right... for a broken down -- yet still ruggedly handsome -- old guy.
Hope everyone had a fun yet relaxing Thanksgiving. I did, but now I have the week from hell, which commenced with a 3:15am start time this morning at...

I just mean it as any animal that you always identified with or were really fascinated by. Like, as a (admittedly very strange) child I would spend hours watching the tapirs at the zoo. And they didn't even do anything exciting. I just loved them.

nope she works on the other side of the state
but thanks for letting me know. It was nice of you.

Been up since... shit, about 5am. 
Listening to Trent's "With Teeth," which I haven't popped in since buying it and giving it a couple of quick spins. I like it.
Doctor's appointment yesterday and my blood pressure remains alarmingly high. She put me back on one of the meds I was taking so hopefully that will help.
4am start Mon., Tues. and Wed. at UPS,...

HAPPY HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
Hope everyone's having a swell weekend. Caught the movie "Good Night, and Good Luck" last night. It's about the Edward R. Murrow/CBS News fight against Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his anti-Communism movement, which was a very dark time for politics and civil liberties in this country. I was mildly disappointed in the film. It's not a bad movie, in fact there are some solid...

blackcorvidae:
strangely enough, I'm not truly upset.
It's happened before and I allowed for the possibility this time.
It's more dissapointment I guess.
Ah well...that's why there's billions of humans, so I don't have to sweat it when one goes sour and I must throw it away.
off to the human trashcan, foul whore!
Thanks doode

I know what you mean about the salt. I have to cut down too, because I am pre hypertension. Thanks for showing some love.
It's getting close to the time that I say goodbye to two dear, old friends... my microwave and my clock/radio. 
They're both kind of ailing (the microwave is cooking kind of funky and the clock/radio only gets two stations), but I've had them both for longer than a lot of you have been alive. I see these fancy clock/radios in the stores, with CD players...

MAN OH MAN OH MAN 
Today I failed a physical. I needed a physical in order to begin driving on Saturday mornings for UPS, and everything was OK except for my blood pressure. Which evidently was so high, the attendant scheduled a doctor's appointment for me on the spot. It was, like, 190-something over 120-something. Like apparently I could explode at any minute.
In and of itself, I'm not surprised....

I spent Saturday night in Philly at trashe and blackcorvidae's Halloween party as these pics will attest. Way, way too much fun. Those two crazy kids throw one hell of a bash, and SG Philly Pholks are the coolness. Thanks everyone.
Hope you all had a great weekend. Happy Halloweenie.

Drunken craziness in Philly, yo!
I've been tagged so here is my response:
1. I never learned how to dive, but I can swim.
2. I had never heard of Suicide Girls until I met CthuluLu and her boyfriend WelnTaod out for drinks in New Haven in March of 2004. CthuluLu and I had become friends online a few months before on another website.
3. I eat take-out or some...

OK, I've been "tagged" (I think, like, 3 times or something) so I have some work to do. I'll come up with 15 or 20 items in my next update. Guess I'm a tease.
