You blew it with 36 out of 40. The number is pretty meaningless.

Jesus Mary and Joseph! You're eager to please, a wild hellcat and a total lunatic in bed. The wilder guys must totally love you. While I certainly can't fault you one bit, I might suggest slowing down once and a while. It's great to please a guy, but it's also fun to tease now and then. Coyness is exciting, sometimes. Bravo, though. Well done.

Weekend Re-Do

ok, work's been a little nutty lately, but that doesn't mean i don't care about you, my faithful reader(s). here's the Campbell's Soup version of our weekend...

we were back in Connecticut with MS, Dug and (special guest star) Lady Nil. the puppies frolicked while the adults played Rock Band 2, ad nauseum. who knew that Nil would turn out such an amazing version of Blondie's Call Me? a great time, and massive quantities of food, were had by all. Speaking of food, MS made another kick ass leg of lamb and a Scotch & Cheddar fondue that could make you cry. is it me or is there something truly magical about a steaming hot pot of melted cheese spiked with booze, with chuncks of bread and things to dip in it? i also tried king cake for the 1st time; yummy but sweet, sweet, sweet.

before we left for home, we watched Milk, which really warrants its own post but i will say that it left me feeling terribly affected for the entire day. if you haven't already, please see this movie.

Monday Mornaing Malaise

this was not my best weekend, by far. though we had a great time with Dr & Mrs Pie Guy (and baby Ben), saturday night, i've just been feeling pretty damn crappy since friday. saturday afternoon found me at the doctor and now i'm on an antibiotic which just sucked the life outta me; no appetite, no energy, a bad stomach and a hangover-like sensitivity to sound and light (which may be totally unrelated).

i shoulda stayed home today.

Some People Have Real Problems*

iTunes hates me.
1st the backstory:
last week our 3 year old laptop decided we didn't need to use our USB ports anymore (thereby making us unable to hook up our iPods or the removable hard drive which housed our libraries and stephen's school work) and then decided to just up and die. on sunday we bought a new laptop (with twice the hard drive space, which eliminates the need for an external hard drive), which arrived yesterday.
(end backstory)

after almost a week and a half without access to iTunes**, i signed on last night and attempted to get the laptop and my iPod on the same page. i hooked up the external hard drive and got my library on the computer; everything seemed hunky dory.
THEN I hooked up my iPod and hit Sync. iTunes said it was syncing but my iPod just sat there saying “connected”. i stopped iTunes and hit Sync again, thinking something different would happen. it didn't. after about 15 minutes of this, I wound up manually moving my library onto the iPod. i waited a while and realized it was gonna take a few hours and went to bed, leaving it to run overnight.

8 hours later only 5200 of my 7100 songs were done (i stopped it in the middle of the P's because i had to get to work). i've lost all the volume adjustments i'd made, all my "smart" playlists, and all my star ratings (which fuel the playlists). a year after i bought the damn thing, i'm back to square one. the rumors of the capricious nature of iTunes was what made me balk at getting an iPod; no i know the rumors were true.

today is a Britney/Beyonce/Natasha Bedingfield kinda day.

*but not me.
**i'm one of those people who is constantly making and changing his iPod playlists, adding and removing music, adjusting sound levels, etc. conncurrently, last weekend, DJ John Michael gave me six CD's with new (for me, at least) music, including a sampler of the new PSB CD, which i've yet to be able to listen to.

His Story

so, we're sitting around this morning, shooting the shit and the subject of Thanksgiving comes up. my co-worker, the infamous K---y, made her usual outta-left-field point:

K: How do we really know that it happened? i mean you weren't there; i wasn't there.
CG: well, people
wrote it down; diaries and letters, etc. it's called
history.
K: yeah,
but how do we know that what people wrote
about actually happened?
CG: wait...you have no problem believing that some guy was born of a virgin, sired by god, walked on water, died and then rose again, but can't wrap your brain around some indians bringing dinner to the pilgrims?

really though...is this what "faith" is?

the Moon is In Ca-Ca Pt 2: 3 Days Later

i've heard that my fans have missed me the last few days, so here's an update.
things are looking less bleak:

• the plumber is coming tomorrow to fix the tub so we can take a bath and will return monday to mount the toilet and the sink.
• Haier is processing the refund (does it really take 45 business days to write a check? i don't think so).
• the computer is still inoperable, but the huz finished his work and is not taking a much needed 6 week sabbatical* during which we're sending the computer back to HP to be serviced. in the interim i broke down and upped my cell plan to include web access so i can check Facebook. i'm really not looking forward to having to re-organize my iTunes library but c'est la vie.

*which means he can call his afternoons, evenings and weekends his own again (so he can go to the gym or wii fit or take a nap) and i can come home to Wii Fit without not worrying about starting dinner, doing dishes, etc. it also means he'll be considerably less stressed and infinitely less tense.

the Moon is In Ca-Ca

ugh. if it wasn't for bad luck we'd not have any luck at all. last week:

• the six month old "replacement" dishwasher broke; after 2 days of phone calls we are getting our refund. i have to call Haier today to hammer out when.
• the bathroom renovation still isn't done. the plumbing supply company, from whom we bought everything associated with the bathroom except the tile and the mirror, screwed up on the vanity/vessel topped sink; the vessel doesn't fit on the sink without serious MacGuyvering. the plumber won't "seat" the toilet till the vanity/sink are installed so we're still without both till that gets cleared up*. meanwhile the magical whirlpool tub has a problem with the control box so the jets don't work and the aforementioned plumbing supply place didn't send a crucial piece of the overflow valve, so we can't use the tub to bathe (the shower works very nicely though).
• our one-and-only laptop broke on saturday which means no schoolwork for stephen (his latest class ends Wednesday and he has several assignments due) and no iTunes or Facebook for vacuous little me.

can anything else go wrong?

*as mentioned in a previous post, our plumber is not a small fella; think of the tallest guy you know and the broadest guy you know, put them together and then double it. that's our plumber. sweet guy, but built like Mr Snuffleupagus. our bathroom is, roughly, the size of a broom closet (5' by 9'?) and Prof. Plumber doesn't want to "seat" the toilet till the vanity/sink are done because he fears breaking tile and unseating the toilet while putting the vanity on. get it?

Monday Morning Madness

i've got a headache this big and it's got "the weekend" written all over it:

• the plumber never showed up this weekend to hook up the new stove (but, since the bottom oven is electric, i was still able to turn out a sick batch of homemade cupcakes). we haven't had a cooktop in 3 days.
• the tile guy's assistant missed the memo which said we wanted a blue glass tile trim around the room, so now we have 3 boxes of tile left and no trim. i'd be slightly less perturbed if the aforementioned assistant didn't try and take the tile with him. i guess there's a gorgeous tile topped table in our future.
• the "new" dishwasher died last night; livid is not the word.
• because of the snow, the tile guy isn't coming today to finish up.
