Open Sesame!

Our garage door opener broke this week.  I’m thinking it might be a blessing disguise.  The thing is incredibly old and sounds like a klaxon going off.  The landlord is being very prompt about getting it fixed, calling all of us, yadda yadda yadda.  I’m hoping he will have to replace it with a newer quieter model.  The pain of manually opening/closing the door for a week would be well worth it.

I’m loving the new schedule so far but still struggling to get used to it.  I’m only working 2 more hours per day but that 2 hours makes a big difference.  hehehe.  I’m used to lolly-gagging around till I feel like mosing over to the gym.  Now, I have to get up and get going otherwise, it is too late to go.  I really only have to worry about two of the four days as I only do 4 days a week at the gym.  [1]Well, that is the goal usually.  The other two days I can cover on my day off.

*

The down side of my new schedule is I get a lot less time to blog and surf.  I can still manage at work usually however, work is often so busy I can’t really focus and that defeats the purpose.  Speaking of work, today royally kicked my ass.  I had a flood of Union related complaints.  I’m tired. 

More random shizer later in the week

Past Tense

The birthday has come and gone.  I’m officially a year older and wiser.  Well, the older part is correct at least.  It was very uneventful actually.  The roomie was out of town so I took the opportunity to catch up on several movies I’d been wanting to see. 

Cloverfield, In The Name of the King, and The Golden Compass.  The first two both decent movies but not epics by any stretch.  Imagine Cloverfield as the Blair Witch style filming of a Godzilla attack.  [1]I totally stole that quote from someone else.  In The Name of The King was a Jason Stathom flick.  Enough said really.  The Golden Compass was very well done.  I think I enjoyed it the most. 

Those 3 gems ate up most of the day.  I had a myriad of birthday texts, emails, phone calls, and web messages to respond too which was very nice.  I did get a couple of surprising emails.  Two ex’s whom I’m not overly close to both sent me B’day wishes. Who da thunk?

I have a short week this week due to schedule change.  I can’t tell you how happy I am that the real Friday will be my Friday as well for awhile.  I’m still on swing swift but that is by choice.

I’m trying to catch up on my blogroll.  Wish me luck.

Busy Bee

Everyone seems to think because I haven’t posted lately, I’m depressed.  You should know by now, if I was depressed you’d be the 2nd to know. lol  I’ve just been busy.  I had to instruct class this week at work which meant I had to get up at 6 fucking am! [1]No, I’m not bitter.  Why do you ask?  Needless to say, I’m not a morning person.  Three days of that and I was ready to shoot myself.  The last two days I’ve been trying to catch up on my sleep and hit the gym.  God, it feels so good to be back in the gym.

I need to post some hidden stuff as I’ve been a total slut lately but I can’t seem to find the time.  I’m sure I’ll get around to it eventually.  I have a new BC tonight that has me more than a little excited. He is lean, fuzzy, very soft wide lips, and has been telling me how much he wants it.  *eg*  I plan on giving it to him tonight. Almost 37 or not, I still got something the boys want. heheee

Why does everyone think I give a shit about Apple’s newest innovations?  Let me spell it out for you, I don’t.  I hate MAC, I hate Apple, and I don’t really care for Jobs.  Next! /rant

I was looking back at my last year’s resolutions and discovered I was pretty liberal with setting’em.  Guess I’ll have to do better this time.  A mans gonna have goals right?

Bad Moby

I am sooo behind on my blogroll. Serves me right for having a life. I’m working on it. Cut me some slack already. :-P I was offline almost the whole weekend. Can you believe it? I got back to discover someone trying to use my blog to generate sales lead. HIGH-larious if you think about it. Bringing the list of banned IP’s up to six. If you need my blog to generate sales leads, you truly are desperate!

Anyway, I drove up to Sacramento this past weekend. I went to see a friend who lives there. He always comes here so I figured it was my turn. I had a nice time however, I don’t much care for Sac. as a city. Some parts were pretty but it just reminded me of the urban sprawl mentality, which I don’t much care for. The ride back was miserable. Cold, wet, and windy. Ugh. It was a long ride too. About a hundred miles each way. At least the bike is getting put thru its paces.

I can’t remember if I mentioned it or not but the roomie and I switched bedrooms this past weekend as well. Because of my schedule, I tend to be a late sleeper. My room faces the morning sun and is incredibly bright. I don’t much care for curtains so I was relegated to sleeping with a mask on my face at night. [1]I know, what an image right? My room also was also directly above the garage door opener. Add ear plugs to my sleeping regimine. The roomies room is darker and on the opposite side of the apartment. He is an early riser so the sun and noise aren’t a bother. All I can say is I’m glad that is done. Hell, it felt like I was moving and I HATE moving. Last night was the first night in the new room and I’m already liking it.

Of course, I’m sure it will confuse all of his repeat tricks. [2]and mine, shhh! Speaking of, I’m convinced his old room is full of demons so the preist is coming next week for the exorcism. And speaking of the roomie, being unemployed and all now, he is off to see the family for the holiday. I get the apt. to myself for two whole weeks! What will I do with myself for that long solo? lol I’m just kidding of course. The roomie and I get along very well and I’ll miss him.

Shizer! Time for work. I’ll try to update more later.

Tired Teddy

Ugh! I’m tired. Two days of getting up before the crack of dawn and I’m so over it. I’m a tired mofo right now. Thankfully, I’m back to my normal schedule tomorrow today. I get to sleep in and I only have two more days till my vacation starts! Four of which, I’m spending with TFA.

Speaking of, I’m such a basket case right now. Nervous/excited/scared/giddy/horny all at the same time. LOL Lord, someone give me a valium!

Gay High Holy Day 3

I managed to recategorize the 2004 posts so far. Jesus H Christ Mary Joseph & David! I will never try to upgrade my blog w/o first doing a full backup again! Anyway….

So the last gay holiday of the season is this weekend, Folsom St. Fair. The city is already jam-packed full of guys.

Yours truly is going to be busier than a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest. The roomies bf is in town late tonight. I have a friend coming from Mexico tomorrow who has never been. TFA also surprised me, he has a lay over Saturday as well. Lord, the weekend was already busy but damn!

Even more, I have to run around tomorrow doing prep work. Thank the stars I dropped the laundry off already. Plus, I have to drive down to the Union Hall and drop off paperwork. [1]Big drama at work this week, more on that later.

OH! I almost forgot, the Xbox comes back tomorrow! Hopefully, it will be in good working order.

Anyway, a good weekend to all. I have 4 days off so I’m exited.

Nifty Tool

This is cool! Ever have a website with a search box that you wished you could search directly from Firefox? [1]If you don’t use Firefox, shame on you. You know what I mean, the little google or yahoo search box built into the browser.

Well, now you can! I was catching up on my geek reading when I came across this little tidbit. You basically download the extension for Firefox. [2]Sorry IE7 fans, only works w/Firefox. Maybe you should make the switch. Then any page you visit with a search box, just right click inside the search box, click “add to search bar” and you’re done. You can now search said site directly from the browser.

For example, I setup my blog. I can click on the little search box in Firefox, select my site, and then search my blog for any term(s) I want! How cool is that? [3]If you are clueless as to what I’m saying, click the link for a screenshot preview.

Random Smandom V

I was feeling very lazy today. The whole thing about my friend dying has me in a bit of a funk. I’ve talked to several folks online and off who knew him. They were just as surprised as I was. A big thank you to everyone for all the kind words and sympathy. I’m ok.

I was a lazy fuck today. I didn’t go to the gym, didn’t do errands, didn’t drop off laundry, didn’t do squat. I bounced between the sofa and the kitchen mostly. I also had two nice chats with TFA today.

After a nice ride on the bike, I decided to pop in and catch a movie. I ended up seeing the new Resident Evil: Extinction flick. Much better than the 2nd installment but not quite as good as part 1. The first is still the best but this one makes up a little bit for the flop that was part 2. Short but decent plot, the affects were about the same and the militant chick [1]I’m having a brain fart at the moment. The one w/the split personalities. Speaking of, the new season starts this week! from Heroes was in it as well.

I have to go into work for a few hours tomorrow for re-certification on my NIMS/SIMS training. [2]Just a fancy way of saying, “lets be consistent and standardize our responses” Not bad, just written in a language that would put even a hummingbird to sleep. I was supposed to go in last week but I “accidentally” forgot about it. Oops!

Blog Roll Update

(I’m on a roll today so bear w/me)

I finally updated my blog lists. I’ve expanded my reading quite a bit lately so felt it time to add a few folks to the list. I’ll be adding a blog link section soon. For those poor souls who found it in their heart to link to me I can only ask “What were you thinking?” *big grin* Seriously, thank you to everyone who felt like my ramblings were worth linking too, I’m grateful.

I’m also looking at folding my blog into my own domain. I listed here originally out of convenience but I have no control over the blogger code and more and more I see blogs that have been hacked. Fear not, I will update w/links and a “forward” command to reroute everyone.
