I am not a furry!


Walking around Shinjuku I come across a bunch of rabbits and figure, when in Rome. My stupidity often amazes even me. Sales season so went to Zara for some new duds. Tried on about 5 pairs of jeans and found one pair that doesn't make my butt look big. (as it is) In the changing room carefully fold that pair, put it aside for purchase and throw the pile of unacceptable ones at the store clerk. Go and pay, go home and decide to try them on. Open the bag and realize the pair was not the one I had selected but a much daggier pair I had discarded. What a loser. At what point did I think I was capable of surviving in modern society without a bib (fortuna) and dummy. Anyway, Inson's gonna take them back for me tomorrow while I lay on the couch and watch American Chopper, as is my Sunday morning tradition. She will pay for my lack of vision. This is the way of things. Except that American Chopper has been discontinued on Sunday in favour of some Beyond 2000 kind of thing that is sadly out of date and still doing stories about the wonders of Carbon Fiber and ethanol. And they even have the gaul to have ads for the AC boxed DVD set since we can no longer see Paul Jr talking about chroming and power coating while Paul Sr has another (oh so obviously) roid rage fit in the background.
Finally got this comp up and working properly, the old one now inhabits the HAL case. Don't know what else to say as I am a bit en-beveraged and need a slash.

Later...

I Know, I know


Yes, It's been an obscenely long time since an update. The main problem is not lack of material but lack of pictures to go with it. You can also blame this new job which I am just getting used to enough to start catching up with my old interests. Job is getting easier but still very challenging. I think it will be easier to get used to than the casino was but much easier than teaching, by a long shot. Much more fulfilling than either.
I spent most of the (short) winter holidays getting this new computer to work. After finally working out the problem was the memory, and after returning it twice and finally deciding it's better to spend a bit more for name brand memory, all's well. (touch formica).
I am able to do this tonight because, for once, I don't have to get up at 4:30am. But only for once. I guess all have heard about Kebber. If not, well ask him. If you don't know already, it's not my place to say....well ok, he's really gay. He came out of the closet last weekend. Out of the blue he decided to come around a night last week and Inson and I both suspected he was going to tell us about his sexual preference. And so he did claiming not to have realized he was going to do it himself.
Congrats Kurky.
