So before I get to the fun stuff I have a rant. i don’t like ranting in fun entries but this just has me so fecking hacked off that I just had to write. You can skip it if you want but just ugh!
Since I moved into my current apartment my refridgerator has been acting up. It’s been loud when it runs and had eventually started leaking water fromthe the icebox into the bottom part of the unit. I had put in a few work orders explaining what was going on. Finally they came to look at it and atempted to fix it. The reason I say atempted to fix it is because it worked right for a bit but now the thing is totally dead. I’m not sure when it went out but now everything in there is thawed out and it’s all warm. Now I have to go through it all and decide what is still good and what is not. I’m going to end up getting rid of most of it because a lot of it is parishable. That’s a lot of money in groceries that I now have to toss into the rubbish bin and it annoys me. I have a decision to make, to buy groceries or to pay rent. I was going to pay rent but now i need to speak with the office on Monday to see if they will be ok with me paying them on the 29th instead of now. I suppose if they say no then I can go to the food pantry and get a few things but they don’t give you much when you are just one person in the household. I wish I had a ton of money then I wouldn’t worry about it. What I don’t understand is why they just didn’t replace the stupid thing in the first place. I mean it’s obvious that the thing was going to go out, you could just tell by listening to it. *throws hands up in frustration*.
Ok, rant over.
I had mentioned my hard drive failing last night when I posted from my IPhone, I have a bit of an update on that situation. The hard drive in question is a two TB drive and so far Flint has been able to recover 500 gigs of my data. this is a great start and I’m hoping that by the time he is finished he wil have been able to recover almost if not all of it. I do understand he may not be able to recover all but anything is better than none of it. I have made the decision to set up a raid so that hopefully I can prevent this from happening again. I hope to be up and broadcasting again very soon.
I’m very sad that True Blood is ending. Tomorrow night will be the second to the last episode and I think partly I’m glad as this season has just been sort of blah. I do have to admit though that I have bene left with a few cliff hangers and my thoughts have been oh man do I have to wait till next week? Ah well, I’ll just have to find something else to watch on Sunday nights. :D. Be ready for an entry about the ending as I’m sure I will have a few thoughts on it.
Now to something more fun…
A week ago today I had a birthday. I had the best weekend hanging out with friends!!!
On the 8th, Dusty and Helene came over and spent the weekend. That night the three of us along with Flint and Cassi all went to Baker’s Square for dinner. If you have one of those where you live I suggest you go eat there if you have not done so before. They have excellent food not to mention pie. If you don’t have one where you reside I recommend you going on a vacation and eating at one of those places. Flint paid for my dinner as a birthday gift wich was really cool. I didn’t eat any pie as I was so fully from dinner.
After dinner we all went over to Wal-mart for some shopping. I bought a couple of fans for my house so that I don’t have to use the AC constantly. One of them goes in the living room window and the other just sits on my dresser in my bedroom, they work really well. I’m extremely happy with my choice as far as fans go. I got a few other things as well but can’t remember everything I bought. We spent about 4 hours there, hard to believe but we did. By the time we left for home we were all exhausted.
While there, Helene got a necklace that was a broken heart. One half of the heart says best and the other says friends, she gave me the half that says friends and she kept the part that says best. I thought that was so awesome. I to this day still where it around my neck. For my birthday she also gave me a ring made out of a spoon. It’s the coolest! The ring has a smiley face on it with it’s tongue sticking out. She said if you don’t like it we have others you can choose from. I was like oh no I love smiley faces and i where that as well on my middle finger. Thanks again Helene, you are one of the best. You and Dusty both, I love you guys.
On Saturday night, the 9th of August was my actual birthday. That morning after a very short sleep I might add, Helene got up and made us all breakfast. She made turkey bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and toast with cinnamon sugar butter on it. It was so yummy, very good. Then we all hung out for a bit at my flat and later on the evening got ready to go sing karaoke at Dutler’s Bowling Alley. Rene and Mary couldn’t be there due to other things going on but that’s alright. I did miss them there but sometimes life happens. Flint, Cassi, Helene, Dusty, Doug, Jason, Tami and Kevin were all there wich was great. Gina, I wish you could have bene there sis, it would have been so fun. Helene and I did I Hate Myself For Loving You by Joan Jet and the BlackHearts, I then did These Boots Were Made For Walkin by Nancy Sinatra, Helene did Cindy Lauper’s Time After Time, I thought she might have done another but I can’t remember, forgive me Helene my brain’s on vacation I think. Flint sang a couple songs as well, he did Elton John’s Tiny Dancer and John Mayer Daughters. Jason and I were going to do Whisky Lullaby but he began fading so had to head for home. Next time we will sing together. Jason has an awesome singing voice and I think it would be really fun to sing with him. No one else sang but that’s ok, I’m happy they were all there with me.
During the night of karaoke, there was a huge interruption that actually shut the place down. Aparently there was a guy there who had brought in a hatchet. At first it was thought by Cassi and Helene that it was a pool cue they had heard breaking in half but it was actually the hatchet breaking a chair. A bar fight had broken out. Six cops came rushing in and three of them tackled the guy to the ground and proceeded to taze him. Surprisingly the guy didn’t yell while said tazers were hitting him, I would have been had it been me. We don’t have any idea what started the fight and quite frankly I don’t care but when tazers are going off you know it’s time to get the feck out of dodge. LOL! That’s exactly what we did too.
Sunday the 10th was a short day for us to hang out. Dusty, Helene and I went to Pet CO so Helene could find a harness for Theo her cat. She did find it and a retractible leash as well. I need to ask her how that is working out for her and the cat. I found some greenies and some different cat food for Ozzy and Luna to try and they loved the food. I always knew they loved greenies but I don’t get them to often because they are hella expensive. After finishing there we stopped at Wendy’s to grab some lunch on the way bact to my apartment. Shortly after we got back Helene’s mother came and picked up the two friends of mine staying at my house. I wish they could have stayed longer but they had to get back.
Thank you all for a most fun weekend, it’s the best weekend I have had in a long time,.
I ended the weekend by watching True Blood and crashing shortly after it was over. I was so exhausted that I was out pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillows.
I saw this on one of my facebook friend’s facebook and I just had to steal…I mean borrow it to share here. I was amused and since I was always taught to share, here you go.
this goes out to all the beer drinkers everywhere
The Beer Prayer
Our Lager,
Which art in barrels
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
I will be drunk,
At home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head
and forgive us our spillages
as we forgive those that spill against us
and lead us not into incarceration.
But deliver us from hang-overs,
for thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager
forever and ever
Barmen!
Well, I think that’s all for now. I’m going to end this and go finish the day at work. Yes I know it’s a Saturday and I’m sitting here at work. LOL! The reason for this is that we have about 35 international studentss coming in and Jason asked me if I wouldn’t mind coming in and working in the office for a while just in case they needed someone to contact through out the day. I don’t mind really, it means extra pay on the paycheck for next pay period. Score!!! Righteous! Awesome! Word! Ok, I’m done. LOL!
Bye bye for now, have a great rest of your weekend.
