arg!

so i spent most of my day yesterday being unproductive, but highly amused. however, i did not get my work done for cleaver's today. so i was gonna wake up early to get it done, but i forgot to reset my alarm. woke up right before class and slept in until it was time to go to work. woke again (5th time) but didn't feel like going to work. so i called in and here i am with the day to myself. oh, and the first mate is skipping all her classes until she pukes and feels better. the day is already turning out interesting and it's just begun at ten:twenty.

let romance bleed away

today has ended in ruin...

it started off well. woke up late. left the house early to meet dad for breakfast and then to see what was wrong with the car. he didn't think we were having breakfast. so just the first mate and i did. then went by and found out that cylinder one of my engine was misfiring. whoopie.
went to the prufrock's. couldn't get anything because i have a total of eighty-eight ($88) dollars to my name. my computer was hemoraging battery power like my heart right now. sociology was kinda boring. german was kinda boring. then the first mate and i got which wich. oh, and it was really cold. after lunch i couldn't stay awake. i barely made it through epics. then drove home and stopped at H-E-B. and everything went down hill from there...

oh and happy valentines day

you and me...like one heart beat

A Boy Named Chase

So i'm finally getting around to importing my Johnny Cash collection on my computer. I love his simplicity and soul. You just don't have people doing what he did anymore...and that's a shame.

The first mate is asleep, and i have to wake her up at 5. She's not gonna be happy. :P

Got both of my papers for class done this morning by the grace of God. speaking of the Lord...Johnny's Gospel tunes always make me feel better.

Anyway, lots of reading tonight for Cleaver's class. And then work tomorrow, and then more homework. Yippee!

I love sitting outside on the deck with the sky blue, the bird flittering in the trees singing, J. Cash singing songs of a time long gone but so near.

As my friend Martha would say...it's a good thing. :D

Ghost Riders in the Sky...

Amateur Cartography

This past week, i picked up passes to a free Ben Kweller concert at the Union on Feb. 24. I think it is probably the make-up show for ACL. It's gonna be good, i can feel it. :D

Today the first mate and i purchased chairs for the deck. Now we can enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of home. Best of all, my laptop gets internet out here, so i can bring these wonderful episodes of blog-glory to you.

Virtue ran into the sliding glass door while we were sitting outside. The first mate cracked up and Virtue was terribly embarrased.

I'm looking to get a new computer for my birthday. This one is old and lacks the power to play games the way i would like it to. Also, the hard drive is about full, so i'll need a bigger one for the additional music and games i acquire. I like the HP DV2200 series. Good hardware, but a bit pricy. Gonna have to rally the family to get it.

ZZ Top is coming to the Backyard on April 14. I think i'm gonna try to get Mom tickets for her birthday (April 4), but they are fifty ($50) dollars a piece. Gonna have to save up for them. But I think it will be worth it.

Yesterday the firstmate and i planned out our meals for the week and purchased all the necessary rations for the galley for about fifty ($50) dollars. If we stick to it, this will greatly decrease our budget spent on food. Which is good. Because we spend alot on food per month. But then again, food is good.

I finished the Mahabharata this morning. It's terrible violent and gory and ends with everyone dying. But yeah, now it's time for Deutsch then Deviance. I'll post more tomorrow at school ;-)

of wonder and uncertainty

don't taunt the transients

For those of you who find it necessary to give money to panhandlers on the street corners: if all you have is a twenty dollar bill, so not ask the pleader (beggar is a bit demeaning) if he has change. They do not appreciate it.

I don't have any normal-wear socks available today, so i am wearing my super nice black dress nylons. sounds like tis time for laundry again.
The first mate is out sick again and did not attend school today, even though she stated via email yesterday: "i really want to get up early and go to breakfast tomorrow. this time, my heart is set on it. and no matter how sick i get, i am not missing any more class."
Yesterday was payday. That makes me very happy. I like getting paid for the work I do. Oh, and Burks via Steve covered lunch from Whataburger. I love free lunch days. :D
Last night the Revenant went back to Azeroth and took on that dragon bitch Onyxia. Now, while we were 61-70, we did a 40 man raid with only 18. and my Bloodfang Hood dropped finally. it's gonna be a nice helm for a while. It was good to play with my friends again. Stupid homework keeping me busy.
I think that is all for now. Ending Transmission

from yesterday...the fear...

things that go type in the night

it is much, much too late to be up. but my devotion/fear to/of cleaver keeps me up to this hour. but it's bedtime, as i have a breakfast appointment with the first mate. then class at 8, and possibly work after that, possibly sleeping depending on whether or not i'm crashing by 9:30.
must...sleep... X(

Scurvy Curse

Arg, the first mate be ill today. Lonely ol' me be left by meself until six this even.
Wrote a mini-essay for Deutsch this morning. Professor Ivanova will probably rip it apart...my grammar skills are poor.
Monday night i composed a new song on Acid. Now i have to come up with some lyrics and perhaps a musical refrain...
Vercengetrix is now up to level 10. I love my Draenei warrior. i really enjoy melee classes (rogues and warriors) and running around the starting zones. But i really need to get Vilduil up and grinding. Well, maybe not grinding, but leveling. Not sure if i wanna try lots of dungeon runs or questing. Quests have nice loot and experience, but so do the instances now...hmm...tough choice...

Music and Monkeys

For those of you who are acute enough to put the time of this post together, yes i am "blogging" during class. In other news, i find that i enjoy both songs by K.T. Tunstall on the radio. What could be the possible meaning of this...?
through an evaluation of my musical tastes and collection recently i have found it lacking in certain areas. The following is a list of compact discs that i hope to purchase very soon to sate my musical desire:
30 Seconds to Mars, A Beautiful Lie -I purchased this album when it first came out and before 30STM burst onto the alternative scene. I found it to be a large departure from their Eponymous debut and was originally turned off by it. However, in recent weeks I found a new appreciation for the new album. But, since originally purchasing the disc, i lost it. So a new copy must be bought.
Daft Punk, Discovery - I have mp3s of the singles from this album ("One More Time", "Aerodynamic") but the other day at work i watched some of the music videos for Discovery. A collection of the videos were made into a film titled Interstella 5555. The film is in anime and is heavy in 1970's references. It's really good. But i would like to have the whole album, which is the sole soundtrack of the film. Interstella 5555 is on my Amazon wishlist for those needing birthday present ideas.
Hmmm, that's all i can think of for new music at the moment; i thought there was more.
Tonight is (hopefully) the last trip to IKEA to furnish the apartment. Two (2) Benno CD Towers are on the docket for purchase. Mom will be accompanying with the Expedition, as the boxes for the towers are eight (8) feet in length. Also, she's paying for them. Yay!
Tomorrow is a tenitive trip to the San Antonio Zoo for the first mate. We'll see how that turns out.

Back onto the Open Seas

Wow, so i really dropped the ball on updating daily. It's been almost a month since the last post. School goes well, work is lame. Must...stay...in...school...
Oh, and i like sudoku.
