So, Trixel is in town, just in time to see me go all quasi-hysterical about nearly every facet of my life right now. She is a lucky woman.

In other news, my sister flew us to Portland for Easter to be with family. That was nice, though too short a visit. Nice town.

I really hope you two can make it out tomorrow night.... I'm assuming you know that I'm having a party. If you didn't know, there is a thread about it in SGLA.

So, I'm back from Kauai, after spending 8 days with my mum. We're both doing ok and keeping each other moving forward with lots of travel planned. In addition, I ordered her a new Dell laptop and put in an order for cable internet. (My folks had been using the eMachine my sister and I got them 6 years-ago. With dial-up.) It will be a...

So, I went to Kauai for four days last week to visit my Pop. He was in the ICU. My sister came from Seattle as well. We essentially said goodbye. This week he's been more out of it and my Mum and the doctors finally decided to move him to another room to make him more comfortable. He doesn't have much time left.

I'm holding...

So, the last two weeks have had my head spinning for two main reasons I shall divulge here:

1. My father's health has gone from not-so-good, to bad, to worse, to ICU.

2. I got engaged to 730A_trixel_fem at Disneyland.

Yeah, yesterday was quite the emotional rollar-coaster. The morning was spent in tears. My Pop head taken a bad turn and was being moved to...

sigh. best wishes on both counts.

I hope things work out for the best, and there's not much more I can say to help.

guitarsnglasses:
Hey bud, it seems silly to me that I didnt request your friendship earlier.

Best wishes to the family and major congrats on the announcement! Disneyland is a wonderful place for such things.

So, Trixel will be here tomorrow...my place is a mess, I have a ton of work to do...and I'm not wearing pants. Not sure that last thing has anything to do with anything, but I'm a little scattered. robot

So, this week I was told of a deeply sad state of affairs within my family. This news in turn, ricocheted off a separate state of affairs (this one good) that was brewing and propelled it forward much faster than expected. I'm a little spun.

How's that for being coy? I'll offer details eventually.

In other news, took a break and went to Amoeba to...

so, I'm in the kitchen this morning, thinking about The Brood, and slowly realizing just how creepy the movie was... and then this power drill goes off super loud near my door. I almost peed myself. shocked

So, went to an Oscar party. My friend Mike always has a big shindig at his place, but it got to be too big for his place, so this year he rented out a restaurant called Sebastian's in Toluca Lake. Lots of big TV's and alcoves and such. Cool place.

There was food and drink and I caught up with a bunch of people I...

So, currently battling a cold I picked up on the last day in Winnipeg. Blah.

However, the trip was great. Trixel's sister and fiance were a lot of fun to hang out with and her mom and I got along just fine.

I surprised Trixel with a massage and pedicure for her birthday. The spa at the Fort Garry Hotel where we stayed was awesome....

I could have used help hauling garbage and shit out of the place Wed evening, and would have paid you handsomely in leftover beer, but it's all done now, so bygones, etc.
-M & L had no idea that I used to live in Burbank and was now moving to Hollywood. They thought it was the other way, or didn't think about it or whatever. I found that out last night and it really surprised me, though I'm not sure why it should have. I just thought they knew where I lived...wierd.

So a friend linked me this. It was written by a programmer/hacker and takes a very simple approach to better eating habits. I'm gonna give it a whirl.

So, arrived safe and sound in Winnipeg. Trixel and I took a bit of a walk in the chill downtown air to get dinner. Now, when I say 'chill' I think what I really mean is 'holy fuck I think my eyeballs are going to shatter in their sockets'. With the wind chill at night, that's about -15 to -20 below zero. And that's not...
