I HAVE A TOMATO. What should I name it.

Holy crap I laughed so hard. I would get my hair cut regularly if the salon I went to had foosball tables and sexy ladies.

I guess there's a couple of these places in Rochester. This is what I get for watching sports.

I've been thinking about my accordion today. I would like to be playing it right now.

Hi guys, I want to go out and get ice cream but i think it's stil raining really hard. I was a big fattypants today but I worked out 4/5 days this week and today I did this big hill climb on the elliptical and it was like moving with big concrete blocks on my ankles. And after that I pretty much just wanted to eat everything. I've also been doing weights (small ones) and squats and all that crap. It feels good but man I am a bit sore. And hungry. I made lentil loaf for Bret and I tonight and now I want ice cream.

My work bought me an iPhone and it came in the mail today. It seems a bit fancy for me but I got a few apps for it and set up some actually useful stuff and it's pretty neat. The camera is really nice see I took a picture of myself with it:



You can polish a turd. Thanks iPhone.

Also I played some Team Fortress 2. I'm up to 2 total kills. I think. Maybe 3. I dunno. This game is EPIC.

...

Okay maybe now I can go get ice cream.

My birthday is at the end of this month so you should probably start shopping now.

I got a present today though of the Orange Box because I played the Half Life 2 demo and didn't suck horribly at it. I don't know nothin' about these games on the computer.

People actually say things like this.

Anyway, Bret and I made rice noodles in coconut rhubarb curry for dinner tonight and it was really so awesome.

Also, I went into the gas station for cigarettes and lightbulbs and there's this weird guy that works there. Whenever I go in there and I go up to the register he asks me how I'm doing and I say "fine, how're you." He always tells me he's MISERABLE.

He's cool. And weird.

Everyone is posting their Cosby drawings so I will post mine also. This drawing was for The Great Cosby Experiment 09. The results are here. This is very important science.


Behold:

I worked hard today. It was hot and I was in a stinky basement. There was asbestos coating on some of the piping and I bumped my head against it so it was nice knowing you guys.

I'm out here in Utica with another guy that works with me and I'm showing him how to do stuff even though I'm a bad teacher. But anyway we got done with work and we saw a Mr. Dingaling broken down in a Burger King parking lot so we got ice cream. I had a banana fudge bomb pop. Yeeaaah.

We also saw a toothless lady sitting at a bus stop totally rocking out to whatever she was listening to on her headphones. I smiled at her and she started cackling. She was pretty much the greatest.

Today I paid off an old debt that I partially forgot about and partially thought would magically go away. I feel like I can breathe better. Sometimes I wonder what people that work for debt collectors are really like. Like the lady I first talked to was a total bitch and kept interrupting me and I wanted to smack her. But maybe she's really nice in real life. Anyway it's all taken care of and that is very good.

Okay I can't wait until Thursday so I can go home. I'm thinking about buying Blood Bowl so I can play with Bret. That's all!

Guys, I am going to tell you something. Last night a bunch of internet hipsters made me aware of a thing called Wizard Rock. I wish I could go back to having no knowledge that this kind of music exists. I mean there's lots of bands out there with little talent, but is singing about Harry Potter going to make up for that? I guess it does to some. I want my innocence back.

Hey so I'm in Utica. There are a lot of traffic lights around here. I ran two lights in a row and a cop saw but I guess there are worse things for cops to worry about in Utica. I almost peed myself though.

I'm also in a hotel that is really nice and historic and CREEPY AS FUCK. Maybe I'm just used to nondescript hotels, but I think the elevator might start bleeding.

But hey look I have a fake tree!



Oh hey check out my awesome view:

So I went out to Big Lots to get an extension cord and a new litter box for the Chickpea. I did come home with those things, but I also came home with Twilight: THE BOARD GAME.

I get to play Edward, guys.

I'm currently working through my rage with ART.

Oh man I love this guy

Hangin' with my parents, watchin' some baseball. Doot doot.

It's nice being at home for a few days. Work is another story but I'll be back to my normal stuff soon. Every time I visit the office there are more people working there. It makes me feel good because my job is very secure. But it also means that things are crazy busy. It is nice to see work people and get all the inside scoop and be happy that I don't have to deal with office politics on a daily basis.

I just convinced Bret to go to ZOOP II with me this weekend. Holy craps it is going to be so much fun. John Darnielle makes me feel all funny in my tummy area. I love The Mountain Goats so so much! I didn't figure I would make it off of the waiting list but holy craps my luck.

Bret hates fun but he's going to have some whether he likes it or not.

:O :O :O so excited!

So I take my Sim to the bookstore to get a book on fixing things, and before I know it she's making out with some chick outside of the store.

Oh man I like weekends. This weekend Bret went to New Jersey to visit friends, so I'm taking the time to get stuff done that I've been saying I'm going to get done for a while. Like planting my vegetables in pots. I just got done with most of that but I ran out of dirt so I'll have to get more later.

I planted my tomatoes and my eggplants. I read up on how to plant certain veggies in pots and not have them die. The thing I read said to soak the eggplants and then move them into the shade to drain, then move them back out in the sun. So I soaked the pot with water and then went to move it out under the porch above me. While I was doing that I saw a little garter snake move out from the strawberry bushes and under my recycling bin. I have never seen a snake that wasn't in a zoo or a pet store before. It was really cute. Anyway, the pot is draining and the snake ended up poking it's head back out from the recycling bin and went back into the strawberry bushes. I wanted to go get my camera but you know, snakes are pretty fast.

Drag me to Hell came out this weekend and I want to see it. I probably wont because Bret is probably gonna see it with his New Jersey friends this weekend and he's the person I go to movies with. Bummer. :|

I traveled a lot this week and didn't get to see him much. I miss him, even though I have stuff to do.

Other things for the day - shoe shopping, as most of my summery shoes are falling apart and exercising, as I'm a bit fattypants. And other stuff, I haven't decided.

I have fresh okra to cook up. I went to the Reading Terminal Market before I left Philadelphia yesterday, and the farm stands were cheap and awesome. I also bought Bret a loaf of jalapeno bread from some PA Dutch lady.

The trip to Philadelphia left me really satisfied with my job. As much as traveling is a pain in the butt, I like getting to meet people that I can talk about home performance stuff with. And when people say they've learned things from me, that's just awesome. I'M SMART.

Okay, shower time.
