things on my mind...

does it bother anyone else?? that the theme song in the KENTUCKY Fried Chicken commercials is Sweet Home ALABAMA?????
and another thing that's bothering me... you people that follow sports as deeply as i do, know that in baseball, the magic number, is some combination of wins and losses that is used to calculate a percentage of something or other, blah blah..... so i keep hearing during the sports news about the cardinal's magic number, and how it keeps moving around... i have just one thing to say to these people... they should have watched more saturday morning cartoons than sports...
"Three is the magic number!!!"
have you heard the Blind Melon version??? rock!

yard work

ran the cat down to the vet this afternoon for his checkup visit... all symptoms are fine now, except he's got no appetite. i've been coaxing him to eat by feeding him tuna, then mixing tuna in with his food, so he's eating more now, he just won't go eat on his own though.
so i get back from the vet, and i'm getting ready to cut the grass, and it starts raining, i was talking to my neighbor, and said screw it, i'm gonna cut it in the rain, so i went in and changed, when i came back out, it was sunny... lasted till just now when i finished, and it's starting to rain again.
i put down some patch-master grass seed on my yard's bald spots. i wish that Scott's made Hair seed and fertilizer... so i'm trying to not have my lawn match the top of my head, hopefully we'll get alot of rain this week and it'll germinate really well and fill in...
if only i could spend the amount of time and care Dave gives his lawn, mine could look like the fairway too...

workless

well, so much for getting any work done tonight. i can't log into my vpn at work... so i can't get to my drawings and files... so i'll have to fix it tomorrow, so i can work this weekend, maybe i'll go in early-er... good thing my IT guys have me to do their job for them... good thing is that tomorrow's my boss's birthday, and one of the other electrical guys is bringing in donuts!!!
grumble... guess i'll play some guitar... perhaps i'll learn some scorpions, that's what i'm listening to now

oliver the cat

Oliver, the Six Million Dollar cat, had to go to the vet today, because he's been sick. He had the sneezes last weekend, but they went away, then yesterday he got worse, he had even less energy than normal, and wasn't eating... So i took him in this afternoon, got a whole gamut of tests run, came home and cut the grass, then went back to pick him up. So, $241.36 later, they're not exactly sure what he's got, hopefully just an infection, he's running a fever, that's about all the conclusive evidence there is of being sick. I've got a weeks worth of antibiotics to give him (fun, he loves pills) and we'll see how he's doing after that. He's lucky i like him, he was almost totaled today... $241 is way more than his blue book value...

caught !!!

Oliver the cat, isn't supposed to be on the dining room table, as a general rule. well, i had just finished cutting the grass, and i walk in the front door and hear "Umph" like the cat does when he jumps down from somewhere... so he comes up running, rubbing my sweaty grass stickin to leg, purring... the dining room table and i have parted ways recently, so i replaced it with my cheesy little card table, it's black with a poofy fake vinyl top and black chairs... so, i look over and see 4 little feet prints unsinking as the foam stretches back up... i looked at the cat and said "Caught Ya! The proof, my friend, is in the Padding". not that he cared, he'll be up there next time i walk thru the room, or in his favorite round chair, working on his memoirs.

energy

Someone says: yanno, it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile...
Reply: yeah, yanno it takes more energy to point that out than it does to leave me alone...
