September 22

Most of my shows are back on the air, good thing I have DVR, I would miss at least half of them without it. Yesterday I had an eye exam and found out my vision is no where near as bad as I thought, my own Optometrist is twice as near sighted as I am and she says she's only moderately near sighted. Anyway, I'm ordering some glasses for back up tonight and they're not cheap, even with my insurance discount. I wanted to go see Blink 182 & Fall Out Boy next month at the Amplitheater, but I can't do both. I definitely need glasses more than I need to go to another concert. I don't think I'm going to need the AC for the rest of the year, I can go ahead and yank it out of the window until next Summer.

Creed was great, as usual, on Saturday night. After the show I bought a t shirt from a vendor for $10, that was pretty cool. I don't know why anyone would pay $35 for a t shirt. The trip to my Grandparents house during my vacation was a little depressing, my Grandmother isn't quite all there anymore, mentally. Sometimes she says things that don't make any sense, at least they've got the home care provider there to help them out.

New season of Tool Academy last night, the new tools are even bigger jerks than last time. Most of these guys are ugly. I'm trying to develop a liking for beer, since it's cheaper than the chick drinks I usually order when I go out. $3.00 for a domestic is better than $6 or $7 for a margarita. I think Coors Lite is a little better than the others I've tried, it's not as strong tasting, I still have to drink it out of a glass though.

Yesterday I was walking out of my condo to head to the animal shelter and one of my Muslim neighbors in traditional head to toe religious garb with her head covered was making a call on her cell phone, which was really high tech looking, nicer than mine, which I thought was kind of funny. I'm almost out of my cell phone contract, in October I can switch to Verizon, and will actually have decent coverage. In September I'm requesting a week of vacation so I can drive up to Kentucky and visit my Grandparents, I haven't seen them since Christmas.

August 18

It's been a year this month, this week in fact, since my former "friend" the drunk walked out of my life and I've never been happier. I still don't know how I could have been so blind or naive to let someone treat me that way. Like most drunks/addicts, I'll be she never gave me a second thought once she moved on to her next target. I was just a non-person to her, a mark to enable her addiction. Never again. I am in a better place now, literally. Live and learn.

August 10

I have bought some rather unattractive new curtains for the living room. They are completely functional and not decorative. Supposedly they will keep out 90% of the sun's rays and also give me some more privacy since the blinds have gaps in them. They might also keep the room a little cooler for Luci when I'm not home. School started back today and I had to sit and wait at the intersection for ten solid minutes. I hate this time of year. It might be worth just turning the other way every morning even if it is a little out of my way to go around the school crossings.

UFC 101 was a joke. I should have just gone to see Star Trek instead. First Amir gets his fight stopped as he's getting back up, then Forrest Griffin gets knocked out by some piddly assed little jab my Grandmother could have shaken off. It will be a while before I pay to see another fight. On a positive note, it looks like I'm getting to keep my cable, Comcast made me a pretty good offer.
