Sail Away

Bloody hell, I missed Thursday. Completely slipped my mind. In my defense, I've had a lot on my mind.

Anyway, this picture is of my brand new instrument panel. All the gauges work! Now, I can tell how fast I'm going, if I have gas... all that fun stuff. Lots of work done to my car, but all worth it and very needed. It was a kick in the wallet, but such is life.

Dayman

I've always had a fascination with skies, clouds, and flying. And yet heights and flying scare me.

The important thing people, is that we've had a change for the better in our weather patterns. It was nice today. And I am grateful for this.

El Tigre

Just give me a bag of all green ones! Is that so much to ask for?!

Electric Worry

I've got some damn hairy hands.

And today I share this quote to you, spoken by his holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama:

When we can recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain the strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.

Only

I woke up to this staring me in the face. I can't wait until I can take that stupid cone off his head.

Annoyance

A picture of my car's dashboard. Tell me if you can spot what's wrong with this picture.

LOUD NOISES

My eyes aren't the same size.

Enterprising Young Men

Filed under: Crap I Inexplicably Own.

Seriously. Why do I own cologne? I got this from an ex-girlfriend a fairly long time ago. As in years. Why do I still own it? I don't ever use it. I'm not really a cologne guy.

I kinda realized over the last few days that I can't compete with a video game for the attention of friends. That either says absolutely nothing good about me or nothing good about my friends. I'm thinking it is somewhere in the middle.

Carry On Wayward Son

This gloomy weather around here has to stop. IT HAS TO STOP! NOW!

Superman's Dead

These trucks have been parked by my house for way too long. I'm worried that they're going to tear up the street or something. I'm really sick of construction. But then, this is Illinois. Our roads are in a perpetual state of construction.

Got Me Wrong

So I started my other job duties today. I froze up at one point. I forgot EVERYTHING about how to use our computer system.

It is most definitely going to be one of those weeks.

Big Bang Baby

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

See those? That's my closet. As part of my new money saving plan, I'm hoping that in a year from now, I can go clothes shopping. But I hate clothes shopping. Why would I want to do it in one year? Because I'm hoping my clothes don't fit me anymore. I've been inspired by a very good friend who just hit that milestone. I think I can do it. I'll be thinner and have more money! Score!

Today is mother's day. My sister and I made breakfast for our mom, my sister made dinner. It was all good. I love my mom and sister very much. Our situation right now is a bit rough, but we'll manage. And I'm glad I can be there for both of them.

Love you, mom!

INTERRUPTION!

I'm taking a break from my regularly scheduled post to say this.

WATCH COMMUNITY ON NBC.

NBC is run by a cadre of idiots seemingly set on bringing the network down in flames. The only two good things they've done in recent years is greenlight 30 Rock and Community. 30 Rock has ignited in me a huge crush on Tina Fey, and I hated her on Saturday Night Live. Though in retrospect, it was probably the show I hated.

Community, however, has pulled ahead to be one of the best shows on network TV in a very long time. It has only been one season but it has been a fantastic season, something you'd probably see just as a show is hitting it's stride after a few years, but this is the very first year. The cast and crew is amazing.

The most recent episode, Modern Warfare, had countless homages to action movies from the last three decades and they crammed it into 22 minutes. And they did it very well. They managed to put in a Mother's Day plot that didn't feel forced and advanced two characters in a way I wasn't seeing. No spoilers, just watch it. The episode is up on Hulu. WATCH IT. That animated picture up there is the Mexican Standoff scene the main characters have in a bathroom. No explaining. Watch it. You will not regret it.

Polly

Feels wrong. Like I'm drinking out of Iron Man's head.

Head Like A Hole

Holy hell am I tired.

And I spend way, WAY too much time posing this Spider-Man figure.

Closer

I'M KING OF THE WORLD!

He really probably thought that.

Natural Blues

GGGEEEEEEEESSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I call them honk honks. I have no idea why.

Well, Holly, I love you too...

...but there's just so much that I don't know about you.

One thousand one hundred and ninety-six pages. That's how big that catalog is. I had to scour through it for supplies to order. What a pain in the ass. I'm used to people just ordering this stuff for me. Now I have to do it. Lame.

Know what else I have to deal with? Spreadsheets. MORE AND MORE SPREADSHEETS.

Guh. Spreadsheets are starting to seem like a torture device.

Bad Moon Rising

The sun has been making the sky look awesome lately.

Ain't No Easy Way

Weather has been really nice lately so I've had my window open and I face it when I sleep. Get the good breeze that way. This was the very first sight I had when I woke up this morning. Felt good.
