8:16 pm	Very Tired Due the losers that run my area of the plant, I have been working 11+ hours since Monday. And now I have to work Sunday. Joy. I should not bitch because it's good pay but man, I'm tired of being on the edge because the plant is so close to shutting down one of our major buyers. Good news, I will have the first two seasons of Sailor Moon by next week. Thanks to Ron for getting my butt in gear and getting my box sets out off of the layaway hole. Yes you read right, they hide some of the layaways in a hole. Okay not a hole, it's under the glass counter but it's hole if you look at right. I'm going to treat myself tomorrow with some Japanese. Need some good food and maybe a little sake. Just a little. Only five more days till I can get the Star Wars SE DVD set. Yeah. Okay I'm babbling now so it's time to quit. BTW, gratz disty. *hugs to Raven and Faab* *pokes to the little monkey gal* and to miss Jello: hugs and best wishes. Please keep your head up. Alot folks care about you and want only to see you happy. Bedtime now. Current Mood: tired Current Music: Underworld soundtrack (Comment on this)

3:51 pm	Another Blog thingie I was born and lived in Houston till I was three when Dad got a job with Ford in Indianapolis. But the funny thing is most of this is true and has happen to me once while visiting family. I will tell you all about Gen Con and why I hate work for the past few months later this weekend. Peace! You Know You're From Houston When... You're on your way to work one February morning and suddenly you're trapped in a traffic jam caused by a chuck wagon and fifty horses -- with riders -- and you look around to see that everybody in the cars around you is wearing a cowboy hat. The "farm-to-market" roads have seven lanes. If you want to be a snob about your grocery shopping, you can go to a Randall's Flagship, a Kroger Signature, a Rice Epicurean, or soon, an HEB Central Market to buy bread and milk (but you have to dress up!) You have to turn on the air conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees. You have a Roach Story: You opened your flatware drawer to find a roach the size of the Taco Bell chihuahua. He stood up and looked you in the eye. You closed the drawer, bought new flatware -- and stored it in the oven. When you see your neighbor dancing around the front yard, you don't think he's won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes; you know he just stepped in a fire ant bed. The name "Bud Adams" makes people snarl, and "Bum Phillips" doesn't mean a bad screwdriver. "Luv ya Blue" still makes you smile, even if you did run the Oilers out of town. You know that the Astrodome will always be the Eighth Wonder of the World. You come to work in short-sleeves and walk out at noon to find that a "blue-tailed norther" has blown through, and the temperature has dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes. Your neighbor's Christmas yard decorations look like a re-creation of the gunfight at the OK Corral, complete with a ten-foot tree decorated with boots and cowboy hats, and a Santa Claus who looks a lot like Wyatt Earp. You wander into a section of town where you can't read the street signs because they're written in Asian characters instead of English, but you don't care because you can get great prices on fake designer merchandise there. You go to an art festival on Westheimer and you're almost run down by two cross-dressers on roller blades, holding hands. The "Killer Bees" are not stinging insects. You hear everything but English spoken when you go to the Galleria to window-shop. You know that "Dad gummit" has nothing to do with your father's failure to practice good dental hygiene. You think "Y'all" is perfectly good usage if you're referring to more than one person. For a Chili Cookoff, you'll use anything from armadillo to frog's legs, but you know that the only GOOD chili is made with chopped -- not ground -- beef, and it has NO beans and NO tomatoes. Spring is not the season, Katy is not the lady, and 1960 is not the year. Society matrons of "a certain age" still sport big hair, and faces that have gone east, west, and north rather than south. You can leave your house, head out of town, and an hour later you still haven't left the city limits. (During rush hour, you haven't left your neighborhood.) You've never seen I-45 in any condition other than under-construction -- and you've lived here for 20-30 years. If the humidity is below 90 percent, it's a good hair day. You know that "Clutch City" has nothing to do with automobile transmissions. "The Dream" is not a fantasy. The only real Mexican food is Tex-Mex. A 747 with the Space Shuttle riding piggyback has actually flown low, right overhead, and nobody paid any attention to it. You know that while saving you money, "Mattress Mac" has amassed more than the U.S. Treasury has. You're happy to have beaten Los Angeles out of a football team, but you'd rather that they keep the title of "Smog Capital." You see nothing unusual about an 80-something former sheriff's deputy who wears a white pompadour toupee and blue sunglasses, mispronounces names, allows televising of his frequent plastic surgeries, seems unnaturally obsessed with slime in the ice machine, and screams, "MAR-VIN ZIND-ler, EYE-witness news" into a television camera every night. "Luv Ya Blue" still makes you smile, even if you did run the Oilers out of town. You wander into a section of town where you can't read the street signs because they're written in Korean instead of English, but you don't care because you can get great prices on fake designer merchandise and great food.

12:05 am	Teal? Hoping for black myself you are teal #008080 Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right. Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively. the spacefem.com html color quiz (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:37 pm	It's hot and the worse part it's going to be hotter tomorrow. *groan* Finally got the Escort fixed. Only costed $270. And they got it done under three hours too. So I got rest of the day to myself. Went shopping for some clothes and picked Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. I'm going to have save up to get me a bigger and better TV because this movie need it. Forgot how much I like this anime series. My past weekend was fun. Got to have dinner with Tousled Elegance. We just sat and talked for awhile. It was great to eat dinner with a friend and just talk about stuff. Thanks again TE and I hope I did not bore you too much with my babbling. The next day I got to hang with some friends and just be goofy for a few hours. Talked about the new computer games coming out we are looking forward to and bullshitted about the world and how crazy it was. That got me ready to face the folks. Visiting my parents can be a pain or pleasure. Sunday's visit was the latter. Sat outside and talk to my Mom for an half an hour and then went inside to talk to my Dad and had some cold iced tea before heading home. Pretty much a quiet and good weekend. I need more like this. Right now everyone at work is either getting ready for the shutdown or wondering if they are going to get layoff. Me, I wondering why I can't get V at work to let me take her out for dinner once. Yeah as you see I am worried about the important stuff in life. Only three more work days till my two weeks off. Two weeks to work around the house and play computer games too much. Well, time to watch Bebop again and head to bed. I wish someone can tell me how to get the faces to work on this account. I was hoping to use them. Anyway, night. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:35 pm	What's this!?!?! First, let me curse LiveJournal for losing my last entry. May you burn! I went to work today for some overtime and about lunch time I found out the water main that feeds the plant was busted. Been busted for about two hours now and upper management was trying to figure out what to do. BTW, there is no water in the plant now. After four and half hours of trying to figure what most us on the floor figured out what to they send everyone home and called the next shift to let them no work today. I called Mom as I'm leaving the plant and found out that Dad has upgraded my phone service and the phone in my hand is now a worthless piece of junk now. Off to find a pay phone. Called her up and asked her to meet me at the Best Buy on East Washington St. so we can get my Dad a PDA. My Dad has been talking to Mom how cool it would be to have a PDA to wipe out during his meetings at work like everyone else. Huh? Okay, my Dad has finally moved in the gadget mode of gift buying. Yeah!! He just made gift buying so much easier for me. And while I'm shopping for him I find stuff for me. Win, win for us all. Anyway back to Mom and I at Best Buy. We were lost looking at PDAs and a nice sale lady helped us out. We ended getting Dad a Palm Pilot, a bunch of stuff for it, and a DVD to help him learn how to use it. And as we leaving the store, Mom tells me she has my new phone. Cool, I thought. I get into her car to get my new phone and thought what hell is this thing? My Dad got me a Motorola T720. I just wanted the basic cell phone, but NO! Dad got me this thing. He got me a bunch of stuff to go with like hand free stuff for the car and bag of goodies. I called him a while ago to tell him thank you and just babbling about how cool the new phone was. I'm going to have read the manual and learn how to use it. I got a new toy. Sweet! Now the fun part. Finding how to get new ring tones on it. Well tomorrow is Father's Day so I better clean the house and read up on the phone a bit. Peace (Comment on this)

11:12 pm	Umm yeah.. The weekend so far: Saturday was pretty good. Got to do my stress reliver today and had fun. Forgot how fun playing D&D with a bunch of folks who you enjoying being with is. Half the time we were being goofy and just talking about shit and the rest of it was playing the game. Got home to listen to a friend of mine bitch at in two messages about not calling her in like over six months...again for the third time now. Guess I m going to making a phone call tomorrow and eating alot of crow. Sorry Stacey. Again. Found out one of the ladies on cams at CW is going to a mother soon. Abbie told us tonight she like six or seven months along with her baby boy. Whoa! That was a little surprise or what?!? And I finally got off my butt to update this journal. So far the weekend been good. Wish I could made the taste of Broad Ripple but I ate at most the places before and I would been hanging out at the Boardroom all afternoon anyway. I'm starting to wander here so I'm going to end this here. I think I will explain why I use the name/callsign redcomet7 in the my next entry. Later (Comment on this)

7:55 pm	Why Pierce Brosnan should have been James Bond years ago Dinner was okay. Got to read my newspapers in quiet and my server took the hint not to bug me too much. After that, I made the runs and got my books for the week. I'm going to be dropping Wildcats 3.0 off the sub list. The story is going nowhere. And the writers have the Grifter in a wheelchair. Whatever. I just got done watching Die Another Day and I must say it was good. Better than the last one. Of course anything would have been better than the last Bond movie. Pierce Brosnan is a great James Bond. He should have been in this role about ten years ago but the TV show he was on would not let him. Fools! Well, I'm going to watch Tomorrow Never Dies again. Another good James Bond movie. Hey! Goodfinger is on. I think I'm going to be watching that instead. Still have the blahs but I m feeling better. I need to workout. When I workout I never had the blahs like this. Maybe that is part of the problem. Well, off to watch Goldfinger. Later. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
3:00 pm	Blah! You have one of those days where you feel bad? Nothing you do makes you feel better? All you want to do is just laying around in bed and not get up ever? Well, I'm having one of those days. No, I'm having the second of those days. I do not know where this come from but it's here now. Maybe the weather kicked it on. It's been cool and cloudy for a few days and I guess got to me. I hate feeling like this. Make doing anything a chore. Before I forget, thanks Sunny for talking with me on AIM yesterday. Talking to me yesterday Sunny made me feel a bit better. My decision to leave CW in July is much harder now because not being able to bull shit with folks on the tag like her. I skipped work (I have a day off or two left so I m okay on that) and I thinking about getting dinner now. Well, I'm going to head out and do something so this day is not complete waste. See ya.
