“So the drippy faucet”, I thought to myself at 7 am this morning as
I can’t go back to sleep for my alarm to faithfully awaken me at 8, “has
finally gotten to me.”

You see, being that I don’t pay the water bill (HOA covered) I hadn’t
been too concerned with it. Putting cost into something that’s not costing
me anything is well.. heh, throwing money down the drain, literally.

I’m at the point where I can’t even have an honest meeting with a new person, date, or whatever, because I’m thinking of someone else. How fucked up is that? I have passed up several opportunities for one thing or another, which I must admit is abnormal for a mid-20′s male.

How does one get over this feeling? Find a way to hate or be disgusted with the one you have your heart towards? I am certainly unwilling to give anyone else an open chance, so the “find someone new” theory will undoubtedly not work in this instance.

You know it’s love…

…when you hate to see them go.

In regular Rocky & Bullwinkle fashion, I present to you…..

In 1508, Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The work was completed in 1512 and features over 300 biblical figures and nine episodes from the Book of Genesis. Below these scenes are the statuesque figures of prophets and sibyls, with episodes from the Old Testament in the spandrels. The last great work Michelangelo executed in the chapel was The Last Judgment. Where in the chapel did he paint it? More…

October 15th…

Today I had a fun opportunity to go into the studio of Channel 104.9 to announce my favorite song. However they only had three songs by Muse in their library. Seeing as how my favorite of the three was far too cliché to want to announce as “my favorite song”, Teddy and I agreed that we could copy it into their system. So to my car I went, grabbed my MUSE mp3 CD, and into the studio came the copying. After a few takes to balance the levels or whatnot, the song was beautifully copied.

A quick take of my voice on the mic (I’ve never been on a real microphone, let alone a big radio station) and I’m historically embedded into the channel’s memory. MUSE’s “Bliss” is forever mine. ;)
I also had the opportunity to announce another song for future use, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus’ “Face Down” will feature my intro from time to time I imagine, so if you hear a male voice introducing the song, it’s very likely me! Especially since I say my name as part of it.

So today started off bad… my normal task at work just was.. I dunno, bothersome today. I go to lunch a little late because of wanting to finish what I was doing. I hit Taco Bell.. I know someone who works there, he hooks me up with free lunch. All’s great, there’s no rain, this might be a good day after all!

I walk outside to go to my car to drive back from lunch.

…

Where are my keys?

Oh, shit. There they are. Sitting on the passenger seat. Huzzah. See picture below —-v

“Okay”, I tell myself.. “I’ll just grab the spare key in the magnet case under my car.

Hah hah hah. I couldn’t find it. It must have fallen off, probably when I had my accident, and I never thought to look to make sure it was there. I’ve had this car over a year and a half, and have never locked myself out. =P
So after 15 minutes of walking around looking for a phone book, I talk to a lock smith, and someone is sent over in about a half hour. Note: my lunch break is a total of a half hour.
So … $60 later, and I’m on my way back to work. An hour late. Hooray!

So much for my free lunch. Taco Bell cost me $60 today.. it wasn’t THAT good. :(

I got my Origin of Symmetry CD in the mail. Bliss is $^@#$^@ awesome, now I can feel less dirty having downloaded all of their music, as I now own all Muse’s 3 albums.. that I know of.. It’s also car makeout music, incase you were wondering.

FedEx came and stopped by on Friday, at 4:30 mind you when most people are working, and left a little doortag on my door saying that I was screwed! Hah, but no really, they need to come after 5 if they’re going to leave doortags for you to go pickup your own damn stuff.

They also have a form on the back, for them to leave future shipments, and any special instructions as to where packages should be placed.
I want to fill it out, and tell them to put them around the house, under a tree, in a bush, or generally any other good hiding place, and then to call me, to let me know where they hid it!
This could be much fun. Like an easter egg hunt. I’d send myself stuff just so I could find out where they hid it, later on. Much fun, mind you, much fun.

But seriously, I want to know what the package was!! Is it my ditigal camera?? Is it the package of stuff my ex decided to keep when she fucked me over and I had to call her parents to ship it out?? Is it one of about a half dozen other things from eBay that I’m waiting for ???!?!?!?!?! MUCH FUN!
