Critter’s Krib

Said in Forest Gump like voice. There I was walking down a hall, minding my own business. I took a left expecting to turn into a room, but I had turned left into another hallway, as I took a few more steps, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the room I wanted to enter. I turned and

BAM!!!

I walked into what I thought was an open door, but the immediate pounding in my nose told me that it was a beautifully cleaned, spotless window. I nailed it. It was just like getting punched in the face, my eyes water instantly and my nose and head started pounding.

Anyway, it is the next morning. I still have a horrible headache and my nose is all swoled (it could be a word) up. bah

I am headed out of town Sunday afternoon for a quick trip to California. I needed shirt and tie for one of the day, so I stopped by Kohls this evening to pick up the necessary attire.

It only took me a couple of minutes to realize that I severely lack any ability to match any color or style of clothing. Seriously, how the hell am I supposed to put an outfit together. Am I supposed to match the tie to the trousers or to the socks. How do I match the tie to the shirt?

Why can’t I just dress all in one color? I bet even I could pick out black slacks, a black shirt and a black tie. Now wouldn’t that be much easier?

It would for me. I could always visit the children’s section and match up my colors from the Garanimals section, except the tie throws me all off.

Ties should at least come with a small card that shows what basic colors the damn things go with.

I was up at 3:30 am, thinking about what I had to get done today, when it occurred to me that I should do my grocery shopping now rather than later. What a great, freaking idea that was. No, seriously. I left the house at 4am. I was in and out of the store in 30 minutes. And I was back home with groceries put away by 4:45 am. It totally rocked.

I was the only one in the store besides the few employees. I bagged my own groceries, which I don’t mind due to my awesome bagging skills picked up at Publix when I was 15. People used to write letters to my manager about my awesomeness. No, seriously, they did.

I still have teh mad bagging skillz. Don’t be jealous.

Currently listening to: without.a.trace.501.hdtv.xvid:lol

Here it is 5:50 am and I already feel like I am being rushed and behind on time today.

This definitely cannot be a good start to the day.

Dude -

I have made at least 10 trips to Lowe’s and Home Depot since yesterday attempting to get the new sink and dishwasher installed. I think I am just about there, I just have to pick up a tool that will allow me to tighten the drain a bit easier.

This has not gone as easily as I had planned. Friggin P.I.T.A.

Currently listening to or watching: bones.204.hdtv

We grabbed dinner at the new restaurant, Bentley’s. It is located where the old Houlihan’s was on Walnut, in front of Home Depot.

I was not impressed. Their menu is expensive. Too expensive for the type of atmosphere. I think the cheapest entrée was around $20. Too rich for that area.

The food wasn’t all that impressive either. When I originally asked for Tobasco sauce to put on my tuna steak, I was told they didn’t have any. I even asked at the bar if they had any for bloody marys. They said no. A few minutes later the waitress came by with, what I think was the only bottle in the restaurant. Ah well, at least I got my hawt sauce.

I doubt we will be returning there. *shrug*

And now, I am going to turn off my monitors and walk away from the computer for the night. Don’t worry, you will be alright without me.

I watch most of my TV by downloading shows via Usenet or BitTorrent, so normally I end up watching an entire season in one go. After I finish the season, I usually have a gander around to see if the next season is available. More times than not, I get into a show only to find out the show has been canceled.

Shows I have gotten into that have been canceled:

• Threshold
• Surface
• Invasion
• Firefly

There are a couple other ones, but they evade my memory at the moment.

Shows I am currently watching:

• CSI:Miami (although Horatio Cane annoys the shit out of me)
• CSI:New York
• CSI
• LOST (waiting for season to start)
• Prison Break
• Weeds (just started watching this. Funny)
• Eureka (just started this too. Different)
• NCIS
• Numb3rs
• Survivor

Ok, I’m tired of linking all the shows, You can visit TV.com and look them up, if you would like.

How exactly am I to call myself a man with no magnets? Sure the shiny silver stainless steel refrigerator is pretty. Of course the new cabinets that snuggly fit around the refrigerator look smart.
Where the hell am I supposed to stick my refrigerator magnets?!? The front is stainless steel. Uh.. magnets don’t stick to stainless steel, silly. They will, however, stick to the sides! Oh, there is only about an inch of the side exposed from the new cabinets. The dishwasher and the stove are the same, and nothing will stick to the OTR microwave. What the hell is a guy to do?

Refrigerator magnets are a must, an absolute must, I tell ya’. It’s not so much the magnets themselves, but the purpose they serve. They allow me to place my greatly needed lists close at hand.

I think I might have to invest in a piece of sheet metal and just tack it to the wall or the island, something, anything.

I could do Post-It notes, but those suck. Magnets are much more manly. *sigh*

I was going through Napster’s Billboard lists from previous years. There are some great songs listed. Ones I used to love to listen to. I bet kids now-a-days would probably just laugh at them.

Do you have a favorite “old” song that people might not “get”? Me? I /love/ Snow - Informer. LOL. I’ve got it loaded on the IPOD. R0×0r!

My morning startup for today…

One of my goals is to become more organized. I am hoping that a more organized me will make my life a bit easier. I went to Office Max last night and picked up a few things. Whatever it takes right? I think I can. I think I can!

• Finish pantry cabinet.
• Start trim work in kitchen.
• Finish moving office downstairs
• Build two more reptile cages
• Install cabinets in garage
• Clean out garage
• Pressure wash deck
• Build Jill a new cage (iguana)
