A random slurring...

I just sold my Wii. Last Sunday Oy went to his new home. Tomorrow I sell my PS3.

WTF is happening? My head is spinning!!

End of the month I lose Loki and my 360.

I'll also lose my LCD T.V. my sectional and my bookcases.

Yesterday I went roller blading for the first time this year. Torte girl and I drove out to the park and tooled around. Not gonna lie...theres nothing like smoking a doob and going for a skate. To glide, ahhhhhhh to glide.

On a slightly related note, yesterday I also walked around barefoot outside for the fist time this year. What a great feeling. Love it love it love it.

Update on my straight blade situation. So the girlie that I had checking into it for me found what I needed. 14 bucks for the handle and case thingie, and then 75 cents a pop for blades.

Wow.

What a difference in price. Right now a razor is like 20-25 bucks and replacement blades can be as expensive as 30 bucks. I just hope I don't tear the shit outta my face with this straight blade get up.

In about two weeks I am going to be able to go on a clothes shopping spree and drop around 7-800 dollars!! Suuuuuper stoked for that. Brand new wardrobe! I need clothes badly...like bad badly. I went out and did a little scouting at the stores I wanted to spend money upon and I'm pretty happy to get some new duds.

Speaking of...things are spinning outta control quickly with all the crap I need to buy to begin my little adventures. I have till June 6th to get everything I need. Clothes being on the top of that list.

What else?

You know what I have discovered I am most excited about traveling?

Food.

I want to eat everything everywhere I go. I cant stop thinking about it. I think I might even start up a side blog talking about all the food I am going to try. There isn't really any kind of food that I don't like. Sure I have preferences in taste and what not - but I don't think there is anything that I wont at least try.

'Cept for pets. I don't eat pets.

Anyways...thats enough. I'm off to watch the third episode of the new Hell's Kitchen.

I like laughing at them when they burn the scallops...

*edit*

I think this may be the most useless boring blog post I have ever made.

Sorry bout that.

*end edit*

The ramblings of...

Saw the White Stripes play this past Monday...got myself L-O-A-D-E-D!! I didn't mean to get as drunk as I did, but I guess not really eating anything 'cept for a few noodles during the course of the day will do that to ya.

The show itself was a lot of fun. I was on the floor with a few buds so I got to bounce around a good little bit. To be honest most of it is a blur. After the show we went across the street to this little rooftop patio thingie and drank some more. I remember wearing this wet cowboy hat - going around to the tables and talking to all the patrons (which I'm sure they loved), dancing with Torte girl and us falling in a heap together on the floor to the resounding applause from everyone around. Somewhere on the walk home her and I lost both our shoes crawling through some bushes, and we managed to gain some incredible bruises and scratches all over the place.

The ever mysterious war wounds from drunken debauchery never cease to amaze me. You wake up the next morning and look at blood caked scabs, purple bruisy blotches and you have no idea how or where they came from...but you wear them with pride! Like a badge earned from making your first ever campfire, or helping the old lady cross the street.

Saw Ratatouille last night. spectacularly awesome would be an understatement! Pixar never really misses the mark do they? Out of the films they have given us the only one that hasn't done it for me was Cars. Other then that they have captivated my imagination every single time. I've decided however that since I dont own a rat I really really want to teach my Ferret (Oy) to cook. I'm thinking if he watches Ratatouille when it comes out on DVD that he will perhaps be inspired.

Wii like to pre-order Wii do!

It is pre-order day for Nintendo's new console, the Wii. After weeks of fear that there wasn't even going to be a pre-order program in place, I finally find myself safe and secure in my apartment with a receipt that says I am to be a proud owner of this bright new shiny system.

*insert sighs of relief here*

Here's a rundown.

• 6:30am alarm goes off.
• Press snooze.
• 6:45am alarm goes off.
• Press snooze.
• 7:ooam alarm goes off.
• Press sno...what the hell? 7:ooam!!?
• Burst out of bed and knock glass off of bed side table spilling warm Pepsi on rug.
• Watch glass land on plate on floor and break into tiny shards of deadly, glittering death traps.
• Laugh.
  
• curse.
  
• laugh again.
  
• be sad because you only have four plates left now.
• Slip on jeans, take pee, scratch bum, brush teeth, wash hands and face.
• Pack bong.
• Smoke bong.
  
• Make noises and silly faces at the Oy. Make fun of him because you have thumbs and he doesn't.
• Pack up X-Box and PS2 into backpack for trade in. Feel a little guilty for abandoning and betraying their trusts. Stroke lovingly and say goodbye.
• Have cigarette on balcony and call taxi because you kept pressing snooze and now cant take the bus.
• pack bong.
• Smoke bong.
• Wait downstairs for taxi.
  
• Excitedly and with great pride and passion explain to the cab driver what exactly a Wii is. Settle on him thinking its like a pinball machine. O_o
• Pay cabbie and hope that the smell of curry, garlic, and falafel doesn't stick to your clothes for the rest of the day.
• check time - 7:45. Doors for pre-orders open at 8:30. time to get coffee still.
• buy coffee, open new pack of smokes, walk to garbage can and throw coffee out.
• Look down at hands and see that you still have cigarette wrapper in one hand and no coffee in the other hand.
• Realize what you just did.
  
• Laugh.
• Curse.
• laugh again.
  
• buy new coffee - don't make eye contact with girl at counter trying to figure out how you just consumed an extra large, steaming hot coffee in 10 seconds.
• meander empty closed up mall to Electronics Boutique. Hope that there aren't any Zombies roaming the halls and think back fondly to great moments from Dead Rising.
• Realize how cool it would actually be and decide that yes, you do wish there were Zombies roaming the mall.
• Realize you don't have a Katana or lead pipe handy so it prolly is better that there aren't any Zombies after all.
• Turn corner and realize that your not such a geek after all. Theres like 40 people in line already!! O_o
• Get in line and grumble that out of 40 people there is not one single girl to look at to help pass the time.
• Eves drop on other peoples conversations in line.
• Realize yet again that that your not such a geek after all - laugh at the people in front of you having a serious debate about who the hottest character from the Final Fantasy series is.
• Realize that your sad because your not in on the conversation.
• Stop laughing and begin questioning how big of a loser you actually might be.
• Grumble that you didn't bring either a book, iPod, or your Nintendo DS.
• Think about porn.
• Suddenly see like 25-30 of the people in front of you walk away cursing and being all disappointed looking.
• Start freaking out cause you assume that EB has sold out of their pre-orders for Wii.
• Discover that all those people were there for the PS3.
• Laugh - make fun of people that wanted to spend $700+ on a console.
• Stop laughing upon realization that you woulda been one of them if you had $700+ to spend.
• Gape in wonder and awe as the sales person tries to explain to one of the people in the line that this wasn't actually a line up for the new Final Fantasy 3 game for the DS. If he wanted one he would have to come back at 10 when the store actually opened.
• Laugh at the guy as he had been waiting in line for over two hours.
• Make mental note to come back later for FF3. Out already? Coooool.
• Finally, my turn. Trade in Xbox, PS2 and say goodbye to them. Thank them for the years of fun. Stroke side of Xbox.
  
• Ignore the smirk on sales persons face.
• Make Pre-order.
• Leave Mall.
• Still no Zombies.
• :(
• See that its raining. Hard.
• Make way to McDonald's.
• Eat hash browns, McGriddle's and Orange Juice and Coffee. Very careful not to throw full coffee away this time.
• Come home. No taxi - took the bus. No cute girls on bus. :(
• The end.

Its crazy that you can only pre-order on one day. Its crazy that you have to be up at the crack of dawn to make it to the store before the pre-orders run out. The PS3 sold out in like 20 seconds after the doors open. They only had like 8 of em in total. The Wii sold out somewhere down the line after me - but was definitely done for before the store normally opens its doors at 10am.

Its crazy...but cool. Kinda hardcore. Its fun that you gotta jump through those hoops if you want a system on launch day. Its like your separating the true geeklings and gamers from the casual geeklings and posers.

Still...I had to get up early on my day off.

Not nice, Mr. Nintendo. Not nice at all. I'm willing to forgive though, cause soon I'll be playing my Wii and waving that funky controller all over the place.

Now if you'll excuse me...I have some broken glass to go clean up.

Nintendo owes me a plate!

Random...

Its getting cold. Like almost shiver cold. Bye, bye summer. Its not that I hate you, its just that your to damn bright and stifling.
I brought my plants in from the balcony for the season today, so now I gotta find something to put them on so Oy doesn't eat em. Speaking of Oy, the little bugger bit my lip the other day. I didn't bite back...but very seriously considered that as a possibility.

Its fun when your not supposed to know stuff...but you do...and nobody knows you do. Its like a dangerous, drunken, lustful power that you want to drink deeply of even though you know the road could lead to destruction. Or...its not? either way, people are funny.

I'm overwhelmed with the amount of game information flooding the streets right now. What with all the late summer/fall game shows (E3, Pax, TGS, X06) and Christmas coming I guess it reasons to make sense. I guess its just even more exciting as there are three new next gen consoles to play said games on so that doubles the fun factor. Still...not even pixies bearing platters of magic mushrooms whilst flitting about my head has excited me as much as what is coming in the next few months for gamer folk.

I'm in the middle of a shwack of double shifts right now and its killing me. In fact I don't have a single day off until next Friday. Granted there are a few days between now and then that I do only have to work one job for the day - and that in itself is almost like a day off right? Right? Speaking of work - I won the title of best 2nd cook out of all our restaurants in our city. A whole whopping 3 of em. Yes...2nd cook. Not 1st. I wasn't even nominated to win for 1st cook lol. Still, I got a $100 gift certificate for Best Buy outta the deal so that's kinda cool.

My new Bong works freaking amazingly! prolly to good even...but who am I to complain. Every hour or so I find myself needing to 'test' it to make sure that its still functioning as it should. :P

The book I'm reading, The Crooked Letter by Sean Williams, is incredibly awesome and perfect and wonderful and brilliant and astounding all rolled into one. I picked it up on a whim more or less. I saw the cover art and was impressed, read a few reviews and was even more impressed and then found myself one day months later spotting it in a bookstore and picking it up before buying any of the stuff that I had intended on getting. Very glad I did. Its horrific, its full of deities and demons (or what we would call demons at the least) and things that lurk in the night. You get to tour through the darkest levels of hell and the wastelands of what was once our earth. I'm not even halfway through it yet and already I fear I am reading to fast. I want this one to last. Luckily the second book (I believe) is due out on our shores very soon.

And that's that. Currently I am 36% complete on my 42 episode download of Flame Of Recca. Its been going for a day and a half now. I figure by the time I wake up Saturday it should be finished and I can start watching! Been meaning to give this one a look see forever it seems, and finally now it'll be one more I can cross off my list. :)

And that's it.

I have to go now and 'test' my bong agin! Cant be to sure if its still working properly...

Oy, the Ferret.

Just a few pics of the Oy.

And a rare photo of him asleep outside of his cage...!

Isnt he cuuuuuuuuuute...?

Dont let him fool ya though, the little bugger is a demon spawn! But he's my demon spawn, so I let him be. :)

A little ramble if you please.

He has this little sideways jump that always makes me laugh out loud. He'll look me straight in the eye and with no regard for his safety he will just jump up in the air and land where ever gravity is intent on sending him. the whole while he has this air of pure energy and satisfaction with his existence about him. For just one afternoon I would love to trade lives with my ferret, Oy.

I have discovered that with my new laptop and a wireless Internet connection I can blog and poo at the same time. Don't panic, I took a poo this afternoon so this post is feces free.

Last week at my work (a hospital) we had a mock code black test. Code black is a missing person alarm that they announce over the loudspeaker thingie. To do this they asked one of the residents if she would like to participate. they took 93 year old Mrs. Johnson in her wheel chair down to the basement an locked her in an electrical room for 40 minutes. Am I the only one that is struck a little odd over this? O_o

I have two more episodes left to finish off Battlestar Galactica season 2. with my desktop on the fritz I was unable to finish off the season when it was airing, since I got my laptop I have been playing catch up. This show blows me away. When I start an episode I'm all chill, laid back on my bed comfy and cozy like, but by the time the show ends I oft find myself sitting upright leaning closer and closer to the screen hanging on every word spoken. Intense would be an understatement.

And with that, I think I will go check those last two episodes out. :)
