I can't believe I
haven't posted in forever. With the holidays and
working and helping sick friends I just haven't had
the time.
Christmas was a blast, the best ever really. Took my mom and the dogs to Ky's house and did the christmas eve dinner thing and then opened presents the next day. The tree house was amazingly decorated and there was a flurry of package opening and lots of squeeing at the wonderful gifts. I think my mom also had a wonderful time. We then headed to my brother's where it was the three kids and kathy and craig and francisca, the au pair. Again it rocked. I had a good 45 minutes with my oldest nephew where we pieced together this squishy puzzle of the united states. The best. Great dinner. Great moments of tenderness and love. Yay.
Worked at the comic store and at Z gallerie while having the week off from the office. Fun. Retail is much fun, in that sick way.
New years was incredible. Dancing to AC/DC mixed with Missy E at Nation, getting a great New Years kiss, seeing matty and dancing the night away.
Looking forward to a great 2006."

my coworkers confound
me. always.
So get this and see if it makes any sense at all.
I am working with developers, and we all know how much I love them, and we are going through some stuff and this one guy shows me a screen that I desperately need to get some work done. You select one criteria and get results back on screen and all the items have checkboxes and they are all checked. Then you find what you want and you have to uncheck the check box. You hit submit to finalize the changes and the confirmation screen comes back and shows you all the the things that didn't change. Wouldn't it be better to A) not have all the items checked and B) show me what changes so I can make sure that I changed what I meant to? I mean this is basic and he seemed mystified at this. It was crazy. I know that what this task is hard to understand in the first place but he's just being stupid.
In other news it's actually a nice day except that my office is hot as hell. Maybe i'll sneak out a little early...

WWJD
Anti-gay pastor arrested for soliciting sex from a plain clothes male cop. Make me think what exactly would Jesus do? If his whole schtick is that by accepting Jesus into your life you won't be gay anymore... Not that i'm blaming Jesus but it makes me think of that Family Guy or American Dad where God phoned Bush and asked him to stop using him name for all that he sought to do.
It all makes me sigh

Tulsa,
Oklahoma pastor arrested on lewdness accusation
An executive committee member of the Southern
Baptist Convention was arrested on a lewdness charge
for propositioning a plainclothes policeman outside
a hotel, police said.
Lonnie
Latham, senior pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church,
was booked into Oklahoma County Jail Tuesday night
on a misdemeanor charge of offering to engage in an
act of lewdness, police Capt. Jeffrey Becker said.
Latham was released on $500 bail Wednesday
afternoon.
Latham, who has
spoken out against homosexuality, asked the officer
to join him in his hotel room for oral sex. Latham
was arrested and his 2005 Mercedes automobile was
impounded, Becker said. Calls to Latham at his
church were not immediately returned Wednesday.
The arrest took place in the parking lot
of the Habana Inn, which is in an area where the
public has complained about male prostitutes
flagging down cars, Becker said. The plainclothes
officers was investigating these complaints. The
lewdness charge carries a penalty of up to one year
in jail and a $2,500 fine.
Latham is one of four Southern Baptist Convention
executive committee members from Oklahoma. He spoke
out last year against a measure, ultimately approved
by voters, to expand tribal gaming. He has also
spoken out against same-sex marriage and in support
of a Southern Baptist Convention directive urging
its 42,000 churches to befriend gays and lesbians
and try to convince them that they can become
heterosexual "if they accept Jesus Christ as
their savior and reject their 'sinful, destructive
lifestyle."
The Southern
Baptist Convention is the nation's largest
Protestant denomination. (AP)

So i'm looking through
Genre, which I get for some reason along with every
other gay magazine out there, and I'm looking though
and I know one of the Genre men. It's an old friend,
Ed Ault. It's just strange and cool to see someone
in there and to know them. So cool"

saw Brokeback Mountain
- freaking good movie.
late for waork to day because I turned myalarm off aparently.
Traffic sucked.
My base pass expired so I had to get a new one.
NOT in the mood to deal with anyone today which makes it hard when my cube is where everyone comes to complain and bitch.
Looking forward to the anniversary tonight and ky's birthday on sat.
After next weekend I think i can relax a little.
fuck it all and fucking no regrets. - ahh metallica. :)
2006-01-09 12:39:00
i just dropped a book
on my testicles.
i hurt.
greatly.
maybe this is what happened to Cheney because my breath is staggered too.

for the curious, the
book dropped on my aforementioned testicles was the
Websters Dictionary, red cover, hard bound."

orange soda not quite
breakfast material.
can't stop farting.
liking staggered sentences.
went to ky's for anniversary dinner and had a wonderful time with robert and jenna. had great food at this place in charlottesville. Nice wine and great chatter. Slept under the stars that night till it got too cold. Spent yesterday relaxing and shopping for this weekend and Ky's birthday party. I have a tux finally but now need a tux-tie to go with my black wash plaid vest. Pictures to come.
Went to this great tea house called the Twisted Branch and had this amazing tea. Also had my first hooka experience which brought back many bong memories. But it was this nice mango tobacco which made the tea amazing. So we picked a hooka up for the house. hehe
now back to lots of work.
i feel fat today too. highly annoying."
2006-01-12 08:52:00
wow. i am snappy today. I
walk in the office and before I can put myshit down
I am snapping at this woman for being a twat. i
really need to relax or something. But I mean i have
these two boxes and they are mine to work on with
one being a CM machine and they are beingtaken over
by people for other projects. Arg. wtf.
2006-01-12 10:35:00
no i'm turning my
crankiness into laughter. everyone I have come into
contact with today seems to be cranky. The woman who
serves breakfast in the caf, th e cook, some random
odd chick in the hall. This actually makes me happy.
I think i get joy or something out of everyone else
being so pissed. And I just totally talked over my
boss because she wouldn't let me finish my sentence.
So instead of letting her cutme off, i just kept on
going. Tawt. And this one girl is wearing a god
aweful sweater. And I told this guy, mentioned
before as The Retard, to come to be at ten and we
will go over this task I have to teach him. It's now
10:33 and he hasn't come to me. I could get him but
I really hate him and don't want to even talk to him
during the day.
But I did have a delicious Silk Live! Smoothie for breakfast, and corned beef hash and bacon. Man that smoothie was goood"

Ky's Birthday Party
And now the relaxation begins.
So Ky's birthday was last saturday night and it was a freaking blast. You can read his entry here and there are photos there as well. He hasn't upgraded his lj yet and has a slow ass connection so I said I'd put it on my site and link to it.
So I must say that cooking for 11 is hard. I have so much respect for my mother and all the years she spent in the kitchen for holidays and stuff. Amazing.
I think it went off well. I'm still in a bit of a haze but i remember it being a fun time. I couldn't have done it without Elizabeth and Stuart. They were so helpful. And the cake she made was awesome!
I will write more when I have more time but check out Ky's entry here for more info and pics."

<childishness>
so i'm trying to be all gracious and stuff and I am very happy for those nominated but i'm still a little argy. Last summer I was in Death of a Salesman with the Chevy Chase Players and we were eligible for the Watch awards. I don't know it means but it's the Washington area tony awards I have been told. Three cast members were nominated and none were me. I know it's petty and stuff and I'm like a child but I though that it was a great show and that I did a great job. Oh well, It just gives me more drive to do better and better stuff.

It's so much fun to be in an office where we are laying off 4 people at the end of the month because we lost a uge chunk of money out of our contract. wheeee.
Also, there is a luncheon later for a guy who is leaving, on his own, and I don't really like him and I hardly know any of the people in this office (im at the home office). Do I go?"

ever have one of those
days where you look at the clouds or the trees and
think how beautiful everything is and amazing that
it and we exist on this planet, yet you still want
to pop a squirrel with a BB gun? I am in such an odd
state."

Merry Wives Cast and
Crew,"Break a leg everyone. I had a few minutes
to look at the pics and they set looks amazing and
the cast even better. I hope I have the chance to
get out there and see the show but it's looking iffy
at the moment.
Break a leg, y'all.

word of the day: blah
dont you hate it when you fart in your cube and then someone walks in and you have that brief moment of "Good god, what's THAT going to smell like?" Maybe it's just me.
Motivation seems to be out the window. I have a stack of things next to my computer that I have to get done today and I just don't want to. Blah.
Spent a good weekend at Ky's. We are going through this wine course and spent way too much on french white wines and enjoyed two bottles on saturday night. It so much fun to learn about something like wine and begin to understand the labels and the process so that you can find a good $10 bottle of wine that isn't shitty Yellow Tail or something like that.
Haven't won the lottery yet.
Having a morning thinking about people from the past and present and don't know what that means. Jack, Joe, Sarah, Jason...lots of people are crossing my thought highway today. Don't know why.
more later. i'm boring"
2006-01-24 11:31:00
Even though I'm cranky
because I'm fatter than I have ever been, the Texas
Big Cinnanmon bun fucking rocks. The protein shake
didn't hold me over enough and I have 2 hours of
meeting every tuesday and I needed the sugar.
Other than that I am winning the war with the coworker that won't stop talking. When she begins to interrupt, i turn my head to someone else and just never stop talking. I can tell if she has something to say that is validm in which case I will stop, but other times, watch out!"
2006-01-25 15:37:00
Man the atmospehere in
my home office is so different than my other office.
We are getting a lot done here but I am used to
doing something and having it there and ready and
not having to wait on developers. Thankfully some of
the people here are really sharp, its just the
learning curve that is a killer. We have the
knowlwdge of how things should work and they have
the knowledge of how to get the software to make it
happen but there is a disconnect between both
houses. But we are getting along.

Comms are crap. The
system won't stay up. The screaming mimi in my cube
(aka Boss) won't shut the hell up. I'm going crazy.
Good weekend with Ky down at E's house with Stu and E's parents. Relaxed and shopped and drank. Had a nice 1989 french red, which has passed by a year or so but it was still intriguing. Also had a wonderful port from 1991 that was to die for. YUM.
Saw the wedding dress. Very nice nice. Squeeee.
Had a nice dinner with mom and Ky and it was as always warm and welcoming.
Good weekend, want to kill everyone.

just read something on
a post where a guys chest hair was called a 'pelt'.
for some reason that bothers me. i have some chest
hair but i'm not a bear by any means and take
umbrage by being called one. I dont identify with
bear culture i guess. It's not my bag baby.
i think i'll tag this entry as pointless ;)"
