quite disappointing, after just having had a beautiful week of wonderful heat, with the occasional enjoyable storm ( not this constant light-rain bleh-nonsense )
*sighs*
I was hoping to at least get a good walk in this morning, but that went out the window when I realized this was the day's intent :(
oh well... been boring and not-at-all-productive, so there's that, neh ? ;)
the long weekend last weekend was an enjoyable one with the girls... unfortunately they didn't open the pool until Monday late-afternoon at which point it was too hot for the girls to be outside
so the eldest was a BIT unhappy about that, but *shrugs* it's not as if I control the complex's pool
the "guarantee" of the glasses being ready by yesterday went out the window due to issues with the frames they're working on :(
( technically the lenses are ready, just without frames not very useful... demn
the back-up pair I'm using are not in good shape, but they HAVE to last at least until the new glasses are here *sighs*
my license expires in just over a month, so have to renew that soon - don't want to until I have the new glasses, though
plus since MN is still (s)lacking in its politically-paranoid idiocy and I want to be able to fly with my ID, there's only select locations that have the enhanced licences that equate to the RealID
what's sad is MN had a budget surplus and who knows where it suddenly went ( it wasn't in the media and I looked! )...
I just know it DIDN'T go to the MN residents nor towards MN getting towards federal standards - educationally or with RealID
...to top it off, they asked for another extention because it was unaffordable - riiiiight, $$ can go towards useless shiite or supporting illegals, but as for MN because up to par nationally or its citizen residents... nah, let's not do that >:(
just as I take honour in being mistaken for being military or having been in the military, I also take honour in being mistaken for being an officer or having been...
unless of course the person asks "are you a cop?" with a malicious glare - which has also, unfortunately, happened... to which I've done my best to leave soon as possible
the anti-PD, anti-military crowd can suck it, be as paranoid and anti-american, anti-safety, & anti-rights/laws as you like - I'm proud to be a US citizen ( despite the 8yr N0bama near-decade whose idiocy nearly put the ex and myself in jail )
Argento - the new PC - is doing relatively well, faster on the internal-front, and only the occasional oddity I'm not used to
just as I'm still getting used to Cronenberg the smrtphone, I'm sure I'll get used to Argento :)
aye, there's a few things I have to deal with not having on Argento that I had on Romero, but Argento has near-equivalents that function alright
( at least, for things I've actually utilized )
ANYways... guess that's about it for this annoyingly rainy Junetide boredom posting
hope you don't mind, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk, but I've been typing this up topless ;)
Farethee well for now !!
twittage ::
5/19 : demn it... it just fully occurred to me I'm gonna have t'pick out frames today when I'm at am-best *deep sigh* - which means I'll be forced to look in mirrors and pretend I give 2 shits & a hand grenade when asked "what looks good to you" since most won't pick one out for you :(
5/19 II : new glasses in <2 weeks ( guaranteed by 1st ), went smooth even with arriving far earlier than intended & temp dropping through the day, prescription hardly changed current glasses - only bad thing is their optometrist believes I should get testing as I show signs of glaucoma :(
5/19 III : since it's apparently becomes a 'meme/thing' : the only way to save Hawai'i is to sacrifice the former living presidents ( though, I admit, Carter never bothered me that much and he probably won't be alive that much longer anyways... )
5/20 : sometime Fri night, the local airwave channels slightly changed - had to look up/search for my news channel again... though now it's coming in slightly choppy, flickering in-and-out :(
5/20 II : for those asshat jackholes who've been bitching about "how hot it is," it dropped down into pain temps all morning thus far - hope you're bleedin' happy... remind me to smack you all in the face with a frying pan a few times next time I see you *growls*
5/20 III : oddly, twice today people in the complex asked if I'm an officer ( or was )... then a new neighbour moving in momentarily remarked on the DARE shirt I'm wearing - is that really all it takes to be construed as an officer nowadays, a particular t-shirt? ( not that I mind )
5/21 : deliveries are always an intriguing thing - like today's "partially delivered" : I receive the PC, a DVD, & other items, but one of the DVDs was somehow undeliverable and will be delivered to one of their pick-up locations ( seriously - wth ?! )
5/22 : unusual dream - in a little community where faerun played and had deals, one particular faerun feels friendship-love for the first time... 10fold... and sacrifices itself instead of their newfound friend, altering the fate of the community and world for all involved with faerun
5/23 : New laws resolving nothing when criminals & mentally ill ignore current laws in the N0bama-fueled anti-PD aftermath: ENFORCE existing laws to their fullest extent, SUPPORT our PD, ALLOWing them to continue to serve & protect citizens & law, & INCREASE knowledge of mental illness
5/24 : quick review of Target's new twice-the-price "upscale" Goodfellow & Co clothing line : for twice the price, material is shitty & low-quality - jeans, which IF they're denim are not your normal denim (feel "odd"), already ripping/tearing in weeks; button-down shirts the same :(
5/24 II : was told [my style] is "old school foghat-cool" - a'yep, I'll take that as one helluva compliment :)
5/25 : they delivered the groceries an hour earlier than expected - I was their only delivery scheduled tonight! - thankfully I had just gotten home early, so was here when they called :) ...what are the odds ?!
5/27 : chained pool = insta-pissy eldest daughter :(
5/29 : today'll be the 6th gorgeous day in the 90s or higher in a row... a record for this time of year :) ...yesterday we'd locally hit a record being in the 100s - won't last, but at least it was a taste of summer :)
5/30 : "...I don't pay good $$ so this [entry] door is locked!"
well, I pay FOR a secure building to live in - you live in the 1st floor, just leave your apartment entrance unlocked
"but then ANYone could just walk in...!"
[ !! - and sadly, she WAS serious... wth ?!? ]
5/30 II : well, demn - the marine neighbour across the hall who's been here since I moved in is moving out... no time to find out why as they're rush packing & only have the movers for another 40-45mins, he said *wow*
6/2 : I can't be the only one who sees vintage nudes and thinks "demn, SOMEone's great-grandmother was a HOTTIE !"
6/2 II : a too-demn-chilly morning of off-and-on light rain has now shifted into downpour *sighs* - any intent on going anywhere today is now shot for certain :( ... guess I could get some laundry done, if I feel like it later
6/2 III : why, no, I HAVEN'T put on a shirt today - weather is cold & rainy, so it's not as if I have anywhere to walk to that's worth leaving the apartment :(

unusualist - I have yet to find a religion and/or spirituality that fits my own personal beliefs... other than, of course, the fact I am a (fallen) god.
( y'just now figured out that I'm basically a non-practicing hedonist? "if it feels good, do it, if it feels bad, you're doing it wrong" )
( "I believe in the proven power of willpower and the truth we are the gods we created. No one being created this universe and its wonders." )
( "the words of wisdom I follow will be the words I've written myself based on the life and experiences that I have Lived, Enjoyed, & Survived" )
( "may the platelets of justice travel the bloodstream of villainy, clog its arteries with honourable vengeance, and induce a coronary of truth" )
( "we are all inmates in the same asylum, some of us are just better at bribing the guards" )
( "In a previous life I was the engine block to a '56 chevy, I lost my heart to a Volkswagen Bus... er, wait - or was that a '57?" )
( "Godfuck Me, Jesus!" )
"Lately, we've been playing music by this chap named Bieber, gosh, you should hear the screams"
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave..."
"Oh, man. I'm sensing something very canadian about this place..."
"It's all true, god's an astronaut, Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live..."
Jax : "yay for you, do you want a cookie or a bozo button?"
