Is it just me...

Or does Obama look kind of like a skinny The Rock?



Barack "The Rock" Obama... hmmm...

This made me laugh

Interspecies lovin'

Our little dog Marlowe and our kitten Gatsby are best friends, they do everything together; sleep, groom, play, etc. It's pretty neat and cute. Poor Maybe's all left out.

To make myself feel better here's...

If it's not one thing...

A telephone ringing is never a good thing to wake up to, especially when you look at the clock and see that it's 6 in the morning. Especially, when the first thing you hear after you mutter "hmmmrffo?" is "Somebody broke into your truck, you need to come outside!"

What the hell is wrong with people? I went out to find that it wasn't even someone breaking in, it was just someone breaking! They smashed out the back window of my truck with a baseball bat or something. It is so frustrating, I'd much rather them have at least stolen something so that there would be a reason for it. But no, someone just smashed my window out for "fun".

I was asleep in the back of the house so I didn't hear a thing, the dogs didn't bark at all either, some guard dogs they are! It's gonna cost $250 to fix, I don't have enough money to get breakfast this morning much less fix a windshield.

Yesterday when we left to take Susan to the airport one of the tires was flat, I aired it back up and it's holding air. I'd say there was someone out to get me, but I don't know anyone here except my in law / next door neighbors.

I always read about "vandals smashed out 5 car windows on the 400 block of blah blah blah..." and think wow it sucks to be those people, now I know for sure it does indeed suck to be those people!

Anyway thanks for letting me rant, I'm going to go clean out all the glass (it's EVERYWHERE) and try to cover the window before the giant thunderstorm that's about to get here... er... gets here.

WTF!?

Ok so I understand that this is supposed to be satirical. It's supposed to be making fun of all the stupid rumors that are flying around the internet about Obama that aren't true. But damn... that's just freaking ridiculously offensive. I expect better from the new yorker... Maybe Fox news would show something like that but not the NEW YORKER! I'm all for satire, and I know that's what the new yorker's about but I worry that people will see that and think that it means it's true or something. I dunno...

Sometimes I feel like that bird...

Cloverfield

So, I'm watching Cloverfield right now, and it is a pretty freakin' intense movie. That's all I'll say right now, but so far it's good.

McCain Prays-Obama grabs a shovel!

While John McSame reacts to the crisis in the midwest in much the same way Bushco did to New Orleans, Barack Obama rolls up his sleeves and helps the people who are actually in need. Also, he is helping the victims of the flooding by linking his website to the Red Cross relief.

my so called "irrational" fears

I hate spiders... we have Wolf spiders, which look like brown recluses but are "harmless". Yeah that's one up above there, just imagine seeing one of those on your bedskirt... bugh! There's one that seems to live in my bathroom in a hole in the wall... right behind the toilet... I swear on all that is holy that it is at least as big as the one in that pic up there!!! I walk into the bathroom at night and flick on the light only to see this monster scurrying away quickly... it always dissapears and makes me feel a little crazy, since I can't show it to Susan and she doesn't believe me... I see it at least once every two or three days... Last night I killed two of it's smaller siblings (still huge mind you) and I think I heard one of them shout that "Abbadon will avenge my death!!!" as I squished it... I looked up "Abbadon" on google and apparently it is the hebrew word for evil! OH MY GOD! It has to be that giant one behind the toilet! I don't know what to do...

I'm not sure if these wolf spiders are better than what we had before... when we first moved into this house there were a ton of house centipedes... Check it out, I looked up creepy in the dictionary and what did I find? this:


Yeah that's a house centipede... one bit Susan once... they like to crawl up to the ceiling above your bed and drop down into it... I'm not making that up! Ok I'm gonna go over there and have the heebee geebees for a bit..

waiting...

I really like shopping online... you don't have to go to a crowded store, the prices are sometimes waaaay cheaper... and you get packages in the mail! Some would say it sucks to have to wait a couple days for something, but really if you need it THAT bad then you shouldn't be buying it online.. I really don't like the actual active waiting part, like when the tracking website says "out for delivery" but has said that since 6am so you don't know when it will be there... that's what I'm doing now.. I like the idea that I'm about to get something in the mail, but not the whole having to keep one eye on the window thing. I wish they would at least give you some sort of timeframe, like "sometime between 2 and 4pm... but no.. I guess I'll just have to wait...

Also look up there at the fed ex logo... and at the EX in particular... did you ever notice the arrow between the E and X? Me neither... but now I do, and when I look at the logo it just glares out at me now... stop subliminally messaging me!!!

new post

I really don't have anything to say but Susan said I needed to post a new blog... So... well... this is it! I don't really have anything new going on right now, I'm pretty much just doing my best to be as lazy as possible... yup... I'm really horrified that there are so many people who won't vote for Obama because he's black, there are people actually publicly stating this... ugh... also fox news called he and his wife's little fist bump a "terrorist fist jab" what the hell is wrong with fox news!? Me and Susan do stuff like that all the time and it's not a terrorist fist jab... bugh...

haha go George!

Baby sloths!

I know it doesn't have anything to do with what I've been up to, but I really haven't been up to much of anything at all so here it is... Baby sloths!

Dig dug

I went to let the dogs in yesterday and looked out to the middle of the yard to find our big dog , Maybe's butt and tail sticking out of the ground, like some kind of creepy new shrub. I yelled BAD DOG! and she quickly backed out and slunk away... then the little one , Marlowe's head poked out of the hole. The look on his face said "What's going on?" again BAD DOGS!
They dug two big holes one was huge and about as deep as my arm up to the shoulder, the other not so deep but wider... ugh... I found a big peice of concrete stuff that was as long as my chin to my hip and it only sticks out of the ground like oh...4 inches... again... ugh...

Here the dogs are being incarcerated after the fact:
Don't worry it wasn't as bad as poor Marlowe makes it look :)

My pet monster update

And here's my niece... neice?... neese Nikaia with my old pet monster! she looks kind of... something :P
Also notice the strange orange carpet... ahhh the lava of my youth

NOM! NOM! NOM!

placebo...

As one of those stupid little jokes you play on your dogs, I held out a smallish piece of paper to them acting like it was a treat. Maybe came up and cautiously sniffed, and then walked away all offended. Marlowe however ran up and snatched it out of my hand with no hesitation and chowed it down like it was the best tasting thing he'd ever had; in fact he even said "Wow! this is the best tasting thing I've ever had!". weirdo...

damn... looks like it'll be another week

For people receiving direct deposits, those with a Social Security number ending in 00 to 20 will have their economic stimulus payment deposited to their bank account by this Friday.

Those with Social Security numbers ending in 21 to 75 will get their direct deposits by May 9 and those with Social Security numbers ending in 76 to 99 will get their deposits by May 16.

I can't believe it's not ...

I'm deeply disturbed by this image

I finally got my last big project done for school this year, my one and only speech, of my speech class. I feel so relieved, all that's left is to finish my stuff for jewelry in time for critique and a easy final in speech... (sigh) I don't know why I feel like this semester was harder than all the others even though it shouldn't have been, weird. And for those of you who get the following picture reference, you get a gold star! good show!

My pet monster

My niece plays with my old "my pet monster"... this makes me very happy, I loved that thing when I was a kid, I still remember getting him on Christmas morning :)

peeping tom (strange dog post #2)

The other night (oooh Susan's skin is soft....) sorry distracted! anyway the other night I was sleeping with my dog Maybe (in a platonic way!! nasty perv!) and I heard a loud bang, like someone trying to break into the front window. I sat up and looked at the front window, where the curtain had been pulled aside by Maybe, and there was a face peeking through!



Maybe the dog and I jumped up and ran into the living room and the person looking through started barking... so unfortunately it wasn't an attractive woman like in the picture, it was a large white pit bull :/ I opened the door and he ran away. wierd...

Squatter

There's a strange thing that has claimed our front yard, it looks like a combination deer, yorkie... it's really sweet and cute but I want it to go away... the other night I was trying to sleep and I heard what sounded like someone trying to kick down our front door... I got up and grabbed my giant knife thing... it's not sharp, but it's really heavy and good for clubbing a robber over the head... and ran and first scolded my dogs because I thought it was them, they were sleeping and offended by my sudden "SETTLE DOWN!" oops...

Anyway I went to the front door and it was that stupid deer yorkie... banging on the front door... I told it to go away and it did but about 30 minutes later resumed banging on the door. I told it to go away and repeated this process 2 more times. Then I hear a *scuffle scuffle scuffle BANG**scuffle scuffle scuffle BANG* and realize that the stupid dog is trying to climb up the house to my bedroom window because somehow it knows I am there. I swear if it were a more threatening type of dog it would be like a horror movie... kujo anyone?

ack!

I love my bumble bee...

for the sake of an argument

I'm lazy!!!!!!

Susan's pretty good

She's pretty good at making blogger templates work right! Thanks bee!

I lost a friend this weekend

A Lubbock teen is dead following an overnight traffic accident in Lynn County. It happened just after 1:00am Friday morning.

DPS troopers say 19-year-old Armando Macias was westbound on FM 211, and reportedly failed to yield the right of way to a tractor trailer who was heading northbound on US 87. The semi hit the driver's side of Macias' Ford Mustang, sending the vehicle across the highway. Macias was thrown from his vehicle, and pronounced dead on the scene. The driver of the semi was not injured.

Collision with truck claims student's life
BY ROBIN BRISCOE
AVALANCHE-JOURNAL

A South Plains College student was killed in a car wreck Friday morning in Lynn County.

Armando Macias, 19, was driving a 1998 Ford Mustang west on FM 211 shortly after 1 a.m. when he ran a stop sign at U.S. 87 and struck a tractor trailer heading northbound on the highway, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Macias, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the car, DPS said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, about 10 miles north of Tahoka.

"He'll be sorely missed," said John Prather, who worked with Macias at Best Buy. "Armando was a great guy, he always made all of us laugh. He was one of the most easy-going guys you would come in contact with."

Prather said he always saw a smile on his friend's face.

Macias had worked at Best Buy for three years. The 2005 Coronado High School graduate was studying radiology at South Plains.

Prather said his friend had a "great work ethic."

"He wanted to do something with himself," he said.

Macias also had strong Christian beliefs.

"He was a Godly person," Prather said, adding that this showed in the way he acted and treated people.

The driver of the tractor trailer, Trace Weatherford of Amarillo, was not injured.

The happening

This is the story of what happened at my Anatomy & Physiology lab on Thursday.
We were dissecting fetal pigs.


Those of you who have done this know the smell of formaldahyde... it doesn't really bother me... luckily. The pigs that we were supposed to cut into were still not thawed out, so we ended up just digging around in some that were already cut open and thawed... and had been sitting in a bucket, not refridgerated, for some time. Needless to say these things were ripe. to keep the legs stretched out to the sides you have to hook little rubber bands to their feet and wrap them around the back of the tray, otherwise they naturally want to curl back into the fetal position. Here's a picture of of an open pig so you get the idea of what we are talking about here.

OK so... as my lab partner is hooking his side up to the rubber bands (not shown in the pic)
his hand slips and the leg "flicks". Now I see in slow motion this group yellowish gelatin, the biggest piece about the size of the bottom knuckle of my thumb (the part with the nail), flying directly for my face... ok this stuff is basically a combination of formaldahyde, defrosted pig bodily juice, and maybe fat... some hit my arm as I reached up to block it, some went into my left nostril, and the majority of it, the big glob at least, flew into the back of my throat (dear god why am I a mouth breather!?). I reflexively swallowed...

Now, I probably should have just vomited, I don't know why I didn't. Instead I just calmly took off my gloves and walked out to the water fountain and washed out my mouth and face, blew the goo out of my nose, and put new gloves on and went back to work. I asked the teacher if I should be worried and she said I was probably fine, but looked horrified... it's been a day and I feel ok... I couldn't get the smell out of my nose though and had to break my year long smoke free... uhm... smoke freeness...(hey if the president can make up words, I can too) to take a few drags off a cigarette and that seems to have helped... anyway that is what I am calling "The Happening"
