Ya know...

I should maybe try to use pictures more often around here. It isn't like LJ where you see an icon every post.

Oh Bother

Ummmm political stuff. I'm tired of thinking and talking about it right now. A big election, my first time voting, and I feel quite lack-luster about it all. Like getting a B+ on something too easy not to get an A on.

Anywho. I finally delved into the clove flavored gum and it's almost like chewing gingerbread. Well, until you get to the end of the flavor. It's almost rank now. This is why for the most part I chew winterfresh or bubble gum. The flavor lasts longer and bubbles are just fun. Especially on the bus when you know you're annoying the smelly person next to you. I'm sure i'm missing a comma or two in the past couple sentences. Which reminds me. I had a hard time figuring out 19x4 the other day. How sad is that? Granted, i've never been that mathmatically endowed, but I'm pretty sure I felt my brain shrink when I grabbed some paper and a pen do work that problem out.

Getting back to feeling lack-luster. My Halloween was thoroughly dull. Disappointing. Almost sad. I didn't even see any kids in costumes. Maybe it was just in my area but it seemed like the holiday had just been forgotten. An afterthought for the day. All the pumpkins were gone from the storefronts. Christmas banners were hung inside and all candy was 60% off. I think the thing that really got me down was that It's the Great Pumpkin Charie Brown wasn't on TV.

It's a sad holiday when a Peanuts special doesn't get played.

blah blah blah blah

I'd like to see all canidates for whatever go back to highschool and join the debate team. Or forensics team , depending on where you're from. The local debates are closer to what I would consider an actual debate, but still far off. I may be the far off person though. I only had friends in the debate team, I wasn't personally. But I was around plenty tournaments and practices, etc.

Anyway, what I really wanted to get at was that gubernatorial is fun to say and type and that, yes, I and a giant tree-hugger and am going to mildly assume that neither presidential canidate gives a whole hoot about the environment. (long ass sentence whee) I also learned a lesson most couples find out sooner or later tonight. Discussing anything to do with politics with your partner is a dangerous game to play. I think the key is to not get angry. Key Note: passionate and angry are not the same thing.

Let's see, what else...
I'm getting a surprise this weekend apparently. Unless it still hasn't come in the mail. Which would suck because that bummed out TJ last weekend. Speaking of, I havn't the faintest what to do for his birthday aside from sex and cake. Anyone else have ideas? Preferrably not costly, and that don't require it to be on his birthday because he'll be out of town.

I think i'm done enough for now. My back hurts and I havn't eaten dinner yet. Plus i'm waiting for someone to call before they go to sleep but I think they already have.

graaaaah

Ok, so I can't manage to equalize the weight of the clothes in the washer and it's driving me nuts.

In other random news: I apparently still own a gigapet. Go figure.

Fucking Mario

I'm sitting here avoiding re-starting the "Flowering Archces" hole, ONCE AGAIN, on the ring challenge in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. See, I shouldn't have started this challenge with Mario in the first place. Don't even ask why I was using him anyway. I'm a Peach person really. The thing is, once you start a challenge you can't use a different player. So now i'm stuck using Mario with more difficulty than is neccesary.

so to Mister Mario I say this. LEARN TO GOLF YOU PLUMBING ASSHAT!

That is all.



Ok, so maybe that isn't all.
I FIANLLY made the cookies. I'm glad that I made them in a bar because they would have been too dry if I had made them in real cookie form. This past weekend was pretty great too. Some movies were rented, as well as a game. This forced us both to sign up for a new Blockbuster card though. Pretty retarded. Oh well, it's probably not the best idea to rent on my dad's account anyway. And it's not like I had my wallet. TJ and I also went over to my dad's to watch the Seattle Sounder's final game played in Montreal. 3-0 Montreal D: I think the worst part, aside from the Sounders losing, was losing to a team with a really retarded name. More retarded than the Oakland Athletics. I can't remember their name at the moment but it's just as stupid as being called the Montreal "Represent". The mall was visited 3 times this weekend as well. Shiney things were looked at, fingers were sized, and a very hot shirt was purchased for Mr. TJ. Pluuuuuuuuuuusssss there was some good sex which included a quickie before the boy left monday morning. :D Good times, good times.

Bit of a Dad moment

I don't know if my ears have been plugged up this week or something, of if traffic has been heavier, but i've been using the captioning with the tv lately.


Pure claziness I tell ya.

It's not even Halloween yet...

And I'm thinking about Christmas specials. I blame TJ though. He had mentioned them this past week. I then promtly dragged him through the seasonal isles in Fred Meyer. I'm such a sucker for decorations and costume stuff. Halloween is great that way. You get to dress up and nobody can scoff and say that you are too old to be doing so. Unless you go trick-or-treating, but that's debatable.



As far as updates go.... I'm still alive. The rest of the family is too. Everyone got back from Rio ok. The party sounded fun and I'm supposed to see some pictures soon. Dad did get a nasty ass sunburn from falling asleep on the beach and his cell phone was stollen. But they left his sim card. Go figure. Xandre started another school year. Another 9 classes this year. Sheesh! Apparently there is some Michelle
girl. I have yet to meet her so I can't say anything about liking her or not. As far as TJ and I we're doing pretty alright if I do say so myself. We hit a fairly large rough patch a while back but got past it with flying colors. And of course it brought us together even more.

PAX was a blast. It was so great to be able to meet all these people i've been talking to for months and months and see people like Rachel, Mike and Ben again. Bumbershoot was somewhat mediocre this year. They forcasted rain which didn't come until the next week and the walk-up price had been upped $5. So it was actually possible to walk from one end of the centre to the other without a problem or 30 minutes of baby-stepping. That is, except for Monday when all of the Pixies fans
showed up. This caused TJ and I to not get wristbands for Built to Spill. Every other day it was possible to get a writband until late afternoon. But Monday was like a normal Bumbershoot day where it's completely packed and you can't move. We had dinner with Mom and Max that weekend as well. It was pretty nice to dress up a little and get out to dinner. The most bizzare part of it was that they had brought their old living room TV over. We were supposed to pick it up along with Xandre but didn't do it. So now it's just sitting in the garage waiting to be moved up here for testing or to be brought to Good Will. The first weekend of October we'll be in Leavenworth, WA. It's a cute little Bavarian town in the mountains. I hope it's a fun weekend and that it doesn't snow yet.

Other than all of that I'm keeping busy with a new book, baking cookies and figuring out why the fishtank is getting scum. "Someone stop her!! She's outa control!" This weekend TJ and I may fire up the fireplace....ok, there has to be a better way to say that. Anywho, we may also go look at shiney things. :D

Moving Day

If you can call it that. But you like to make your lady feel special sometimes so i'm telling my blog it has it's very own moving day. At some point i'm sure that i'll move everything over from LJ. Just a bunch of copy, paste, back-date. Then, after that i'll fiddle about with my template. So far, I like this about 10 times better and that's just because I get my own spiffy little url for free.

GOMEWOOT!

I suppose this also means I'll need to dabble more in html. Ahhhhhh, something to do. :)
