Serious Business

today i had the best chicken i've ever had in my life. ever. it was amazing. my amazing wife made barbequed chicken that was pre-marinated in italian dressing for 2 hours, grilled on the george foreman grill. it was fabulous! we hung out and played wow together, doing old world stuff like the infamous molten core and blackwing lair. it was a nice trip down memory lane with some friends on the internets. i like! christin had fun too.

i seriously can't get over how good the chicken was.

tomorrow i go put lots of money in the bank and hopefully we can get a bed! and i do some more schoolwork, since i've opted to stretch this week out to feel more productive rather than doing it all at once like i originally had planned. i think i do better that way. my final project will probably wait until the last minute, because i don't want to overthink it. i know what i want to do and if i started working on it now, i'd probably obsess over it. i'm only missing like less than 1% in the class, so the pressure is off. i could not turn in the final and still pass. ;-P

but i wouldn't do that! i'm excited that i was so productive today. christin has been giving me chores [we call them quests] to do on our little white board on the fridge. it's fun! i think i don't have a lot to do tomorrow though, short of schoolwork. we'll see what christin has to say about that. lost last night was interesting. i liked it. a lot of people said it dragged or that it wasn't as interesting as last week's, but i thought it was fine. the jin/sun story has always been something i liked watching. i like them more than some of the other stupid characters on the show.

i'm also glad desmond is back. should i say that's a spoiler? it isn't really all that spoily, it's been more than 24 hours since the show has aired. if i ruined it for you, oh well. stop recording stuff on your dvr, man up and watch it when it comes on. ya haters. sheesh. anyway, that's all for tonight. i'm tired and it's bedtime. gotta get up early and do lots of schoolwork. woot! look, i posted more than 1-2 paragraphs!

Jigga Jigga Slim Shady

taxes done, getting $455 back. buying a bed with the proceeds! tomorrow we'll find a bed we like and get that, and once it's delivered it will be glorious. today was a good day. the dmv still hasn't sent us what we need, so that's frustrating. christin gets her paycheck tomorrow, which is great because we can budget next month. how sad is it that i'm actually excited about things like making a budget for the next month? being a grown-up isn't all bad. sorry for short post, i'm a liar.

The Fire's Out Anyway

got my check in the mail today. the benefits are re-instated! it's on like donkey kong. this means we can get a bed this month! that means no more messed up back in the mornings. yay! i'm excited for that, and that there's no pressure to find a full-time job for a while. now we just need the california dmv to send christin's title and my registration tags so we can register the cars here and be able to claim residency. that way, we can apply for reach and get cheaper doctor's visits, meds, and get my teeth fixed without paying an arm and a leg.

i've got so many youtube videos to watch.

tomorrow i'll be doing my final week schoolwork to get this class over with, then i've got about two weeks off from school. one as a result of finishing early, the other as a result of ashford moving my next class back a week. blah. i need to stay motivated and learn some chinese for the two weeks, make good of the time i have. i've been slacking in that area. i'd also like to make more videos and start recording some music. maybe i'll be able to get a good microphone and even possibly a guitar to start working with. that'd be neat. longer post tomorrow, i promise.

Playtime

tonight we went to a play, to see my buddy from youtube act and enjoy the frivolity. it was grand! shakespeare makes me type funny. anyway, church was great as expected. we learned about jonah and God's love and exactly what sort of love He loves us with. the sort that, as pastor bruce said this morning, loved the ninevites despite their violence in the same way that He loved jonah despite his arrogance. interesting to think about, even more interesting to experience that love first hand. today was a blessed day.

and tomorrow, it's back to schoolwork and everything else the week brings about. my chickenless chicken burger was actually really good, so that's a plus! actually, on the way home from the play we stopped at burger king and i had a real chicken sandwich. the boca meatless one was a whole lot better than the real one. although, i don't know that you could say that burger king's chicken sandwich is technically 'real' either. my wife is so sweet. i'm glad she had a good time tonight.

10x Wasabi Power Ownage

my wife wrote a lot today! she read me an awesome article tonight too, while i ran heroics. it was a good night, a fun night, after a great day as well. we went to our little nephew carter's 2nd birthday party and played with the kids. i've been up all day, since 7am. can you believe it? i hardly can. and now i'm pretty tired, so it's basically bedtime but i've got to write something here because it is a daily blog, after all. woot! let's see. what else can i say?

we went to whole foods today, just to get sushi for christin. i ended up buying vegan turkey because i thought it wasn't real [it is] and i ate a vegan turkey sandwich for dinner. well the mayonnaise on it certainly wasn't vegan, but it was meatless. it tasted... normal at first, but the longer i spent on eating it, the worse it was. it was gross in the end, and i didn't finish about the last third of the thing so i'll probably end up feeding the rest of the meat to the dog unless i can find a better use for it. i suppose doing like damien in mean girls may be an entertaining use. ;-D

hopefully the boca chicken patties will be better.

tomorrow is church, which is exciting because we're actually physically going there this time as opposed to last week where we watched it on t.v. which was pretty unfulfilling. we should most likely get up a little early and listen to last week's service so we can be caught up on jonah. but most of pastor bruce's sermons work as stand-alone messages even if you don't hear them in context, but it's always better to do so. we'll see how we feel in the morning. my tooth is killing me and it's time for me to go to sleeping time.

Anger

so i just drove around for half an hour looking for a place to fill up my 2.5 gallon water bottle for our drinking water for the next week. i failed. food lion was closed, of course, and for some reason they left all of the vending machines plugged in and functional except the one i needed. next stop was safeway, which has an indoor water machine, but it was closed too. i swear i saw 1:00am for the closing time on the door just this evening. i'm sure you're asking why i didn't just fill it up when i was out this evening. i forgot.

and giant doesn't even have a machine at all.

i certainly wasn't going to drive to annapolis, or even riva just to hopefully find a machine that was on and working, because if i didn't find one, i'd be even more upset than i am right now that i can't have a nice, tall glass of water right now because our well water tastes like... well. actually it tastes more like pipe than well, but the point is it tastes bad. and it's hard water, so it's probably actually bad for me. we don't even cook with it, which is why we're out. i made spaghetti tonight for myself, the wife and our friend becky. she didn't eat much of it, but her kid ate a bunch. it was a good night. i'm tired now.

You Was Trollin'

late night update. woo! since i'm still on west coast time on this blog, it's still technically thursday in my mind, and for all intents and purposes here. who needs facts when you have justification? today was schoolwork day, and i got it all done. hooray! tomorrow i've got to bathe our little monster dog, because she stinks really bad. that will be fun, it's always amusing to watch her freak out and roll around on the couch and bed when she's still a little wet, after drying her off. she isn't excited about getting the bath so much as she is excited about getting dry afterward. weird.

my chocolate bunny is halfway gone.

it's raining outside, which means everything's going to be soggy tomorrow. i don't like walking the dog after it's just rained, because she insists on tromping through every bit of mud she sees. she doesn't walk on those parts of the road when it's dry out, only when it's wet. she likes getting dirty. fortunately though, since i'm giving her a bath tomorrow after her long walk in the daytime, this problem will be easily remedied. woot!

a friend of mine, mr. chris, has returned to the world of warcraft. i'm excited because it means i'll get to talk to him more, since he's been a stranger to the online world at large to my knowledge for quite some time now. it was fun filling him in on the changes the game has had since he last played, which was just before the expansion came out. he freaked out because his hunter's pet had a talent tree. i had almost forgotten some of the things that had changed, so when he asked it was just weird to have to explain things that are so basic. but that's the way it goes!
