first off - we're less than a week-and-a-half from my weeklong vaca... Helsyeh! to that!
NOW, on to the rant :
has every website, search engine, and online entity jumped on the "user-friendly, if you're an idiot" bandwagon?
Oi!
easily accessable and understandable drop-down menus have become annoying and oftimes confuzzlingly-titled squares under the title of "apps"
websites appear as if they were designed...

First off, midweek I had m'self shorn into a new look... for which I've received mostly compliments and a smattering of mockery :)
then last night there was this particular moment :
"big plans this weekend?"
"I've got my girls"
"oh, I was going to ask you on a date"
"sorry to disappoint"
"you never know until you ask"
while this may sound like a

I can assure you that you do not lack personality. I too hope that you soon find a deserving partner of the female variety. ;)
wolfox:
thanks - and I'm not too worried. Been single most of my life, so I'm fairly used to it. Most of the women I know (I have more female friends than male) think I'm crazy/unusual/odd... yet always find it strange that I've been perpetually single - even though they say their female friends that aren't already mutual friends probably wouldn't like me. Gotta love it?
*whew* May is going to be an interesting month...
I have girls at least one day of every weekend this month - which is wonderful, though more expensive grocery-wise
( my grocery bill doubles weekends I have my girls )
to add to the increased expense, child support went up a couple weeks ago as rent and other household bills increased as of May
so...

It's strange (in a good way) how we all turn into somewhat of a budgeting wizard when there's something we really want or care for that needs a bit of extra money. I'm sure you'll figure it out. *fingers crossed*
Wait, what birds are building a nest that your girls can't go onto the deck if the birds are there?
Wait, what birds are building a nest that your girls can't go onto the deck if the birds are there?
wolfox:
not sure what kind of birds, but thankfully they nested elsewhere and I could take the boxes down... once they've nested/laid eggs, it's too late :(
"Am I who I am because of what happened to me throughout my lifetime or because of how I responded to what occurred and what I then did?"
personally, I feel it's the latter - but I know many that feel it's due to the former exclusively. Maybe it's a combination of both?
I'm not a judge of myself. In all honestly, I prefer not...

Oi! This has been a week of religious nutballs either coming out like maggots from the woodwork or people's religulous sides coming out in waves of annoyance.
I know, I know, I should be more "accepting," but when the majority of believers are focused on indoctrination rather than education and actual Truth, yeahhhh - No.
a few examples of moments this week, via twit/posting :...

I'm beginning to think I'm the most boring person alive...
hear stories from co-workers and others of what they did the other day/last weekend/last week... even last month... and the crazy shiite that happened.
all of my stories are from a decade or two decades ago.
I do admit, however, that most of my stories involve people that've died since or the story ended in...

I love taking long walks; it clears my head and helps me relax.

the weather was so weird today that I didn't - even though I probably should've...
It's a windy, snowy spring thus far in this side of Minnesota... though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, we had snow into May last year (and years prior).
maybe I'm just gettin' "old and orn'ry" nowdays? :)
ANYways...
got vaca time approved for the 1st week of June (Mon thru Fri), so now just need to figure out how to affordably utilize the...

in sad news, my DVD player finally "gave up the ghost" yesterday, which led to upgrading in the tech world - a BlueRay player.
y'happy now, techies? *pllth*
it is kinda cool - plays DVDs, too, so I don't have to re-start my collection, and WiFi-connects to my netflix as well as pandora and youtube (and a couple others I never heard of nor do...

tomorrow will be in the low 40s, so still "painful" temps for this cracked skull of mine - but Tsunday expected to be 60?
it just might be nice enough for a walk to the Cinema Grill (the RoboCop remake is playing!)... but that's a mighty big "might!"
!! an hour walk in "crispy" temps does not a favoured walk make !!
go figure that...

Spring is here, my lovelies and gentlefolk... well, technically, anyways, as the single-digit temps and snowfall can attest to.
ah... life in the upper midwest of the US of A - I've even seen it snow in July *sighs*
ANYways...
in the middle of last night I had a dream about fighting in a multi-level "mega-mall" that segued into being in a music store...

arroia:
As much as I'm swooning over your choice of music, I cannot stop imagining what crazy dream that must've been. Mine have been exceptionally boring lately.
wolfox:
it was crazy, to say the least... but I've been having a lot of unusual segues lately dream-wise. any dreams that are the least bit sensual end before anything happens ... or segue into something sad or just plain weird (even for me!). ...thanks on the music love - I'm pretty eclectic in my music tastes, but was a late teen/early '20s metalhead... who hung out with country girls ;)
...and the cause of the painful facial swelling is : Sinusitus of the Left Maxillary Sinus!
Even I had assumed it was a dental issue, but I suppose it's a good (and cheaper) thing that it wasn't.
Yes, I ended up going into the UC, as the swelling was getting annoying (and not lessening).
so I'm on an odd combo of amox-plus-[something that keeps the...

"Warm weather" my finely-feathered ass - I shaved for this?
Well, no - no, I didn't... I shaved because I noticed my beard had started growing primarily in a southeasterly direction - just a wee bit too much on the asymmetrical side.
I'd apologize, but if it isn't above freezing then by the gods of the 7 hells, it is NOT "warm," godfuck it!

I quite like you with a beard, I must say.
wolfox:
even when it's a good inch longer only on the one side?
