I picked up Sarah Palin's Going Rogue yesterday. I've already got quite a giggle out of it. I think I offended the cashier at Target as well. She asked if I was buying it because I liked her, or because I disliked her. I told her I just couldn't believe she could string enough written words together to fill a book and I just had...

Boondock Saints -- heard the closest is Pittsburgh or something, right?
Palin -- haaaaha. Just hearing some excerps from the book, ahead of time, has been enough for me, for now .. Not to mention the responses from her own party [which she has alienated as a result]. It's glorious. Let me know how it goes.
Facebook -- ditto. Considering it's annoying and dull, and I'm not friends with most of my "friends" on there. And I've always liked MySpace more. I -still- sit on Facebook and act like a fucking creeper. I think .. we're somewhat helpless against it. Just let it happen.

I finished a book, but not a book on my "to finish" list. I Don't Believe in Atheists by Chris Hedges It's a counter argument to stuff like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris that implies religion is just fanaticism and just stands in the way of societal and scientific progress. Hedges argument is people like Dawkins and Harris are just as fanatic as religious fundamentalist....

I miss shows. I miss driving to Cleveland, getting lost, getting assaulted by drifters, standing outside some venue in the freezing cold, and then having the time of your life for 4 hours. I miss playing shows.
Or the random guys that will show up while you're not yet three feet from your car, in the freezing cold, with a sloshing bucket and a sponge, yelling .. "YO DAWG LEMME WASH YO CAR FOR A DOLLA'" until you give in.
I gave the last one twenty bucks NOT to wash [ice] my boyfriend's car. :// Haha.
chrysis:
That's the plan, sir. That .. is the plan. Unfortunately, I have to plot out my words carefully and sort of .. back out slowly over the next few weeks, so as not to provoke a crazyperson response. But I think I'll stay planted. And still take the two weeks off for myself. :]]]
I will also look up the musical. Is it a film, or a broadway thing?

Had a really good weekend. Hung out with the wife and relaxed with the animals. We haven't really had a weekend to just unwind in a while, so it's kind of nice. I started to watch Once Upon a Time in the Midlands which was quite entertaining (the over abundance of British accents doesn't hurt either). Saturday we watched Bolt, one of those computer animated...

yuffie:
Maybe it was just a bad night then... cause they were dead.

How do you like the new Windows? I haven't heard anything from .. any real people yet.
Let me know how your gameplan goes. I was excited to read that you had one, but .. none of those things are really options for me. Such as, I have a guitar, but can't do anything on it. Meh.
I need to come up with a gameplan of my own pretty soon.
I very much agree with your weather conundrom -- but I think very soon, I'll get over the "HOTHOTHOT SUMMER OMG" problem -- I can take it way better than the winter issue. I'll dig my roots up one of these days & tumble on.
Those are my favorite cat, if we're talking looks-only. I like that they have eyeliner. ;]

Hey, thanks!
Yeah, this is exactly what I wanted it to be. I was a little concerned, because when I initially went in and said "typewriter font," they said "times new roman!" and I said .. "UHHHHHHHHHHH, .. no. Certainly not. I mean, old school .. typewriter. As in, deteriorated." "Ohhh .. courier!
" ..
I was disheartened. So I went online and looked it up. It's called 1942 Report. Fuck yes, that sounds perfect, I'll take it, etc, etc. ;]
I go to Good Life [aka: Akron Ink] -- have since it opened. Jeremiah's my bud; I wouldn't let anyone else pierce me. So while I'm not loyal to anyone like that, ink-wise, I tend to stay loyal to the business, anyway. Well .. for now. I have ideas for other tats that are more complex .. that I'll probably stray for, because I know these guys' styles, and .. it just wouldn't be ideal.
But, this only took twenty minutes, and I'm happy with it, and I love being there, and hanging out, soooooo. Horray. :] Was a good Sunday morning.

_holden_:
Yep and my cat always lays on his back like yours in that picture you posted. Is you kitty a Maine Coon?
chrysis:
These pictures just made me happy again. 
Ummmm, and yeah, look into that album art thing -- I'm curious. It sounds familiar, but I don't have any Soilent Green. Unless it was on the outside, then I probably came across it, flipping through over the years ..
But yes. This two-month-long transition is horrible. The nothingness. But God, it only gets worse .. I'll take the thoughts slamming into one another, no matter how .. futile it feels, because in a month or two, when it's all sand, dirt, grit; all greys and browns; all smoke and mud and slush, .. and dark goes into overcast goes into dark? -- It all goes away for me. Mentally.
Wake me in six months.
Gaahhhh, I need a pup. x_x; One that's litter-trained in the winters.

I used to work at Petsmart. :] I wish I could remember the stuff about the foods.. but, alas, .. cannot. But -- Greenies! Good things!
Um, and yeah. I envy you SO BIG on the dog. Since mine passed, it's probably been the biggest hole in my life and my heart. Ugghh. They're irreplaceable. What're you getting? You probably said, somewhere ..
Anyway. Yeah. The cutting thing, it either makes COMPLETE, INSTANT sense .. or the opposite, I think. For someone like you, who it doesn't make sense to, to be able to come to terms with it for someone else? That's rare, and nice. My ex was like that. Because he had his demons, and could .. um, understand the similarities enough, I guess.
But I'm that way with substance use -- even the slightest. I can't COMPREHEND it. Sooooooo .. I don't know. It's weird. At the same time, I think they're very similar .. what you get from them, what they give you .. what they take from you, the way they own you .. etc.
Er. Anyway, Happy Halloween. :]

So this weekend is Halloween and I finally settled on a costume and I'm fairly stoked. I will apologize in advance for anyone who is going to have to see my hairy ass in short shorts, but c'est la vie. I'm trying to decide if I should be brave and try some new brew, or stick with the drinking night staple of Dortmunder Gold.

a.] Luigi's = yessssss. It really is. But the last two times, we've gotten stuck in that first room, by the door. Which really just takes away from the experience. Next time I'm gonna wait.
b.] Halloweekends! I'm going too. :] I think. I hope. I used to go SO often, but damn if it isn't expensive as fuck suddenly. Been a while since I've been, too.. so I'm really looking forward to it. Even if the cold air will feel like razorblades at those speeds. It's awesome.
Soooooooo yeah.
