I just found out that one of my dogs is really sick.

She has a heart condition. I thought that the worst moment was gonna be when my mom told me that it was really serious.

But the worst moment was really a few minutes later when I realized that I'm going home in a few weeks, and that's probably the last time I'm ever...

Poor pooch.

The lead singer of Catherine Wheel has a new solo album out.

It's basically my long-dreaded confirmation of a final nail in the CW coffin.

But at the same time - new music by Rob Dickinson.

I'm tingling.

I can't actually find it anywhere, mind you. But I'm lookin'.

Some friends of mine worked on the game version of The Warriors which came out...

For me it depends on the insect. If a spider isn't right in my way I can live with it, because they eat insects that I like a lot less. A few ants are OK, maybe. But cockroaches will meet with my wrath and the full power of my mammalian intellect.

It would be neat to hang out sometime.

SG took forever to load today. I'm guessing it got Farked. Y'know. Because of the thing.

Personally, I find it absurd.

I don't know what else one can really say. Poo-tee-weet?

Did I mention that the girl bought me a bike as an early birthday present? Because she did. And it kicks ass.

Although I wish she was making less of a big deal about...

*sigh* you're right of course. But I'm too much of a masochist to let this particular debate slide tongue
_sarah_:
Yes. Yes, they did.

According to my friends, it was better than the first one, though that isn't saying much since we barely made it through with our souls and psyches intact.

This is the best thing ever.

At least do the jam. I command you.

Re: yesterday.

No fancy earrings. frown

Two weddings this weekend.

I got my tux from the rental place.

At the risk of tooting my own horn... I look deadly in formalwear.

(But then, who doesn't?)

Tomorrow: fancy earrings!!!

A tux and fancy earrings? I can hardly bear the excitement.

I actually made it to Toronto last weekend, intending to take in some gear shopping (for which there ultimately wasn't time) and the Sci Fi con (for which there was).

It was great to be able to take in the con, because it's something the girl and I tried to do last year (in less complicated times) but were unable to due to my relative...

The TV is on behind me as I try to not waste another weekend just playing World of Warcraft.

I think the MTV movie awards are on. Whatever it is, it's some obnoxious b-list celebration of something or other.

Currently, some horrific band is doing a mangled and nearly atonal reworking of Don't You Forget About Me as part of a "tribute" to the Breakfast...

I think we've already had this conversation, but here goes: yes, I believe HBO beats up on their characters, but to be honest, it doesn't bother me. Yes, they live in a hyper-reality, but I still find all the feelings they put me through real.

I think the reason that I'm so moody lately is I'm having a few problems coming to grips with the fact that I'm turning 30 this year.

Not like massive problems or anything...

But I'm going through the classic "what have I done", "what am i going to do", "what does it all mean" sort of thing.

Hmm.

Update: As I was looking for guitar...

When you turn 30 somebody secretly takes you aside and answers those questions. I can't say anything more, excpet that the knowledge comes too late.

that would be so cool to be roommates! I'm sure you are an excellent roommate. Probably better than Angelina Jolie, because who wants those two kids around all the time?

Fortunately, we are across the street from U of T, so renting for Sept. 1 should still not be a problem. I just wish I had written down the phone numbers of the people who called after we had rented it. or that evil sprint Canada didn't limit my mailbox to approximately 4 messages, or I would have at least saved them all. frown

Yesterday, I answered a "why did you do that" style question with "Because I have severe emotional problems."

How's that for honesty? biggrin

(I did it in the context of saying "I was a big jerk and overreacted and I'm very sorry." It's not like "my severe emotional problems" is some phantom dude who does all this bad stuff and blames it on me. Sort of...

I find people blaming things on their emotional problems rather than taking responsibility for their actions extremely annoying, but I'm sure that has more to do with my experiences than it does you. Hope it worked for you. smile
dholokov:
it's very honest unless one of your problems involves creating false intimacy by lying about the nature of your emotional problems.

I went and saw The Devil's Rejects tonight with some fine folks from work. It was approximately a million times better than House of 1000 Corpses, but it would be pretty hard not to be an improvement. I'm still not much for what I call 'cruel horror', but for a loving ode to splatter pics (and as the Thelma & Louise of the genre), it...

Heheh. A few days ago Katie's mom said that Katie is gonna wake up soon, look around and just say "Where the fuck am I?" smile It's true though. She'll be fine and all this will just be a footnote. A painful one to experience, but it will just be a small part of the story that is the rest of her life.
