Gone Fishing…

August 27th, 2006

So tired, left work Saturday night to be picked up by my dad to go fishing with some other people. A 2 hourish drive down to Lewes, multiple tolls, and sneaking on to some private pier, I caught some fish. Unfortunately, this meant being on the pier all night long, no sleep for 24 hours straight. While trying to catch crabs with a net, we got a pufferfish or a blowfish type fish, it didn’t have spikes when it expanded so I’m not sure if it’s a different variety…. We got a 12” flounder, but had to throw it back because it needed to be 17” to take it :(.

At work, we are guarding a hole! We literally have round the clock checks to make sure that no one is messing with a hole in our office park, though our paranoia is legitimate since the last time they (Comcast) dug a hole, they spliced a fiber line, killing connectivity at one of the two data centers.

Roommate is moving in today or tomorrow, :(. I don’t like it one bit!

Snakes on a plane = bleh

I guess I didn’t know what to expect of the movie, but something like over-hyped was on my mind. At best, it met expectations of what I had in mind. I suppose I could of done without the whole back of the theater screaming all the time, and the dumb girl that I will presume blonde reading everything aloud from the movie….Although, it’s the price one has to pay to view a movie on the “big screen”. (That and $4 for a small soda and $5 for small nachos)

So the movie had everything a typical movie needs:

One flaming gay guy

A whole bunch of blonds

One said blonde naked

2 cute kids

One “heroic” death

One aashole that just got what he deserved

The percocets do nothing!

I think they gave me placebos instead of real meds :(. Food keeps getting stuck in my teeth hole sockets….

I got an A in composition, but a B in accounting. Boo, how do I get a B in class that I already took and got an A in? Grrr, bet it was the darn accounting final again. Oh well, I got an ok grade for the number of times I actually went to class, I think I could seriously count on one hand how many times I actually attended class.

New schedule is sucking, because BUAD doesn’t allow pink slipping. So now I’ve classes back to back on Tuesdays and Thursdays, all day long! However, I might be able to work the dayshift at work now…

12 hours later…

Part of my mouth is still numb from whatever they put me on, but nothing to painful so far. Worse was coming off the anesthetic and getting into the car for a bumpy drive home. They did give me prescription for percocets/Oxycontin as well as some prescription mouthwash. The mouthwash cost more than the percocets! Though I’ve only taken the Advil which I was suppose to take about 3 hours ago, but you know me and pills… So besides the numbing of 75% of my mouth, the worst part is being bored to death at home. Hopefully it will feel better tomorrow and I’ll be able to get some stuff done without breaking the wounds.

Also, the oral surgeon popped out one of my fillings or something. I guess he popped it back in temporarily, so I’m gonna need to get a crown for it. This would be in addition to the crown I have to get for the tooth where I had a root canal. Not only do I have 4 less teeth, but almost everything except my incisors have been worked on! Crowns are gonna be a bitch to pay for, my work insurance only covers 50% of the procedure and I’ve already used a good portion of their $1,000 yearly maximum because of x-rays and a cleaning that I could of done myself much better.

I’m gonna just have a set of fake teeth when I’m 30 :(.

So the crowns add to my bills that need to be paid:

$4k Fall tuition + books

$1.2k credit card bill

$2k property/school/city/county taxes

$2k home owners+ car insurance

The crowns would probably push me over the 10K mark, ouch….

Apple, how you disappoint me

August 14th, 2006

I should of known better than to get another Apple product after my Shuffle started to crap out on me, it’s the simplest of the mp3 players, there isn’t even a screen or radio on it! If they can’t get that right, how could I expect them to get something a little more advanced right? The Nike + kit for the Nano was intriguing though, so I bit and got a 1 GB black nano with the Nike+ kit sans the $30 armband. It worked nicely for all of 2 weeks! I was almost about to rave that the Nano and Nike + was awesome in how it allows me to track my progress over time, but then the damn Nano froze. It’s useless now and does nothing! Multiple resets and restoring it with the Ipod update still does no good. What a piece of junk… Now I’ve got a ~$200 paper weight. Well, we’ll see how the whole “AppleCare” thing goes…

In other news, I have 5 straight days off, no school, no work. Insane, I haven’t had a break like this for over a year. However, the reason for the break is not for pleasure, I’m getting my wisdom teeth out today, in about 5 hours. So who knows if I’ll actually need all the days to recover or if I’ll just bounce back the next day with lots of time to kill….
