I'm sitting here and she goes "Mew! Then runs around jumps on the back of the chair, jumps off.. runs to the bedroom, gets clawed at by Slate runs into the bathroom runs out of the bathroom. Grabs her toy mouse. Rips it's entrails out again, jumps my computer (I catch her mid air as she aims for jumping on my keyboard. (her favorite habit) then onto my bookshelf where she knocks a DVD to the ground and tries to chew on exposed computer wire. and it's 4am. I'm not even bothering trying to type or clean this place. Kittens are like pure bundles of energy and I'm gorged with turkey. :P
She just now stopped attacking my keyboard long enough to curl up for a bit .. any second now she's going to go after my neck again.. and there she goes!
So I've given up waiting for my 500G hard drive and just installed Windows 7 to my cheepass backup hard drive. I have to say one thing about Win 7. It found all my drivers WITHOUT me going online. Once I went online it improved everything, but out of box, everything worked. After just 2 reboots I had my computer running like normal. Mind you that this was a fresh install coming from XP. So far I have to give a dorky thumbs up and say "this isn't Vista." which means I like it. Has anyone else subcome to Windows 7? What are your thoughts on it?
So I was supposed to go in to work tonight but I got a TXT from one of the guys on second shift telling me that one of the machines is down.. so I was like Pfft. I could spent tonight catching up on writing..which I'm doing and it's great. Nothing like.. Oh -- Excuse me a moment. Mudslide is mewing war cries.. .. attacking my beanbag chair then running.. sliding across the floor and hitting the fridge and repeating this.. over and over again. . It's been going on for the past ten minutes. The lighting in here it too poor to get a good picture... but. What. The Hell Man?! The little soft "mew" war cry just makes this all the more funny. The way the kitten jumps into the air and almost slow motion lands on the bean bag. Slate looks from my chair and hisses her disapproval of this "fun"... So the live action drama of the Kitten and Slate continues.
Instead of ranting about work and the night off, lets move on to Yesterday and the Cat War. I have to write this quick as I'm about ready to leave for the day. ( Read more... )

candipox and aderistaba 's kitten. Right away Slate was all Hiss Hiss SCOWL but she seems to just be in a big talk mood. Meanwhile Slide has already snuggled up on my lap. Tried to chew wires (NO!) and pretty much established her self as the öh well if you want to scowl then I'll just snuggle up to your pet human and sleep on her lap!" new owner of the house. She eats first while Slate just watches and waits for her to move away FAR away before she'll eat. Way to be dominant there Slate. -_-So that's an update. I have a super busy day and I need to get my sleep, but i wanted to stay up to make sure there's no bloody grey cat bits when I wake up.

updates. So this here is my quick review of the day.
( Read more... )
THIS IS AN OPEN INVITE!
Money is slim for some, not so slim for others, but we all still have to stare at our bottom line like it's Milla Jolivich just done waked into the room.
So because of that. If you're looking for deals online. THIS is how to do it.
So IF YOU ARE PLANNING on buying a gift for me or someone else this year. Tell them. Just come out and say the general price range. I know it's the season for giving but, you can't help but feel like a sucker when you spend a hundred dollars on something and then end up with a gift that's from the dollar store's discount bin. (thanks mom for all the socks that in no way I'll ever use) Anyone want bags of unopened size 7 black cotton socks?
Also. AMAZON IS YOUR FRIEND. They have way more than books now a days. Food, candles, SOCKS... hell almost anything you want is up there.
Put cheep things on your wishlist. Not everyone has money to throw around. And you don't have to USE amazon to buy the item. I mean if someone gets doubles then they can just return one. Money in the Bank. We all need that. Hell after my St. Louis trip my car is going to be due for a major tune up and that's pricey.
Yeah I'm not to keen on Amazon because they ship UPS and the UPS man hates me.. but this is the best way to make a wishlist.
So may I recommend people passing around this post or something like it and helping friends out this season? Give people an Idea of what you like and what you want.
This is my list:

http://digs.by/gRQ #Nano 4am break! join us for Blue Sunshine (Elvira's Movie Macabre) Rply with your IM (no Google Wave yet)
No I'm not doing Nano but damn if it isn't fun to distract my writing friends. I may do my own 30 days challenge in December to keep my mind offa visiting my family. Plus traveling always brings out the writer in me. But I would love to get my hands on an invite for Google Wave if anyone's got one.
So you might have
THE FIRST ANNUAL NAP DAY. (because we get an extra hour in the day)
Rules
1. If you live with people. Get a hotel room. No people. No distractions. You Sleep.
2. You get out of bed only to go to the bathroom, Get a new book, refresh your thermos with fresh Hot Cocco or comforting drink of choice (in my case it was hot red tea chai with extra ginger and a splash of coconut milk) You do not get to smoke or get coffee or watch TV. This is why a hotel is the best bet.
3. Phone ringing? Don't answer it unless the voicemail features screaming zombies eating your friends. I would say turn off the phone but I'd be a total hypocrite because being disconnected scares me
4. You do not get out of that bed. You may think you have something you Need to do, but you should have done it before starting Nap Day. No. Today you are helpless. You will do NOTHING. YOU WILL DO NOTHING AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.
5. Oh yeah. And Feed the pets before you leave/go to bed.. if you stay home they'll be annoying. If you have kids DO NOT stay at home. You can't just ignore your spawn for the day. Take up a pay pal donation for a babysitter or something.
6. You can read a book if you're like me and fall asleep whenever you read (no matter how much you like the book) The idea is. SLEEP. I don't endorse drugs (of course I do! I'm your local crazy herbalist) but there's some herbal goodies that will help you sleep.
7. Nap day ends when your dreams start getting different than they normally are or you just can't sleep anymore. The point is you've forced yourself to have enough time away from the daily grind and your routine and forced yourself to sleep. Your brain gets all the time it needs to process all that crap that's itching the inside of your skull... and in my case.. cure the hang over.
So yeah. CURED! Not sure if it was the copious amounts of kombucha or the day of sleeping but I feel so much better. Better than I have in a very long time.
Speaking of kombucha I think there's SOMETHING to it but I don't think it's the cure all that it's hyped to be. I just enjoy making it and experimenting. This week's flavors Mango/Citrus/Lemongrass, Mango and straight up extra hardcore ginger. The ginger is very carbonated so you have to contact me before i ship it out. Else it might pop in shipping.
halloween.. I wish I remembered more of it. What started out as just hanging
out and watching dvds turned into a "break out the air mattress" event. My
fault for forgetting that I'm a super lightweight drinker again (instead of
just a normal lightweight) and that I was running on pure "It's halloween!"
Energy. When I crashed at about 4pm I crashed hard. You'd think I went 72
hours without sleep instead of just 24. I also slept right through the big
Dexter season 4 marathon. Foook.
The upside is. I'm wicked hungover and yet I feel great. I mean
physically my body is like "I hate you.. have the chills! Now have some
nausea! Ha ha!" But meh I have a day that's full of Naps! Everyone should
set aside such a day! November 1st. All Saints Day. Day of napping. I like
this.. I think I'll make halmark cards for it. Okay. Anyone wanna do
anything txt me. I'll be in bed watching shows on my phone and drifting in
and out of the land o' Nod.
but from the looks of the city on my way home. I ain't the only one.
Yay Laura. *passes back ooout*

gallon sized glass jars. You know those big jars you get at Sam's or BJs? I
wants them!
Why?
Well.. Paige loves tea. Paige also loves to make things. Paige likes to brew
wine but it stinks up the place. Paige likes to grow mushrooms. Paige
doesn't like talking in the third person so we're gonna quit that now.
So I came across this little expensive drink created by a kombucha
mushrooms. Gross looking things. Looks like a giant loogie. So of course I
fell in love. Fast foreward a few months and I've found the right combo of
tea and cultures to make a blend that tastes like cider jack. Check it! My
favorite drink.. now without booze and with proported health bennies (I'm a
cynic so.. we'll see about the health claims. I just know I love cider jack
and this is a boozefree clone)
So blend of custom tea + three different cultures from 3 different places
+ sugar every other day = profit.
The problem is.. I need something to keep the finished product in prior
to final fermentation (carbonation). Glass is the only thing I can use my
sanitizin equipment on and it offers nothing for the Kombucha to leech
away.
Also yes.. selling to friends as well. Costs to friends is 10$ a gallon.
You must provide the glass container or pay for me to buy one for you.
I know a bunch of ya'll are on diets now, so I'm asking advice drom Doc LJ rather than Dr. Google. After walking to where I hit the starting to burn stage, I get ravenous. How ravenous? I normally eat maybe 10 chunks of sushi and still go home with a doggy bag. Yesterday: 50 and I was still starving. I had to "no! Bad Paige!" To keep from raiding the fridge. Then tonight at work I was just all Om Nom Nom..I downed a large McDonalds coffee in 5 minutes and had to stay out of the break room lest I shake the snack machine into candy submission (I made SURE I brought no change). This has been an ongoing thing. I work out and if I hit anerobic state I end up like the cookie monster at a girl scout bakery.
Any advice on how to supress food lust? Normally it's not an issue but when I work out it's like Must gorge!
whoopsies.
My morning walk was cancelled on account of cold gloomy sky, me being
hungry, me being sore and okay..okay.. wanting to watch the Office with a
bloke I know. So after that I snugged into bed and proceeded to hybernate.
I think my body has been fighting that cold that's going around. Go Go
Antibodies!
So while sleeping I had a wonderful dream. Technically it was a nightmare
(but for me a nightmare isn't going to work nakid. (Meh. I ain't ashamed of
my body)). My dream was some sort of B movie gorefest. Some guy tries to be
a studmuffin while quoting Quagmire.. gets shot down. Summons a demon to
take revenge on women.. The demon eats his innards in graphic LULarious
style and then proceeds to posess his body while keeping Quagmire Guys
soul. The demon decides women are accustomed to the possibility of date
rape, so he starts buggering and eating guys. Bros to be exact. All this is
in the context of a teen B movie so sometimes it's clear that It's Bacon!
The whole time in the movie, my omnipresent role was trying to get my ex
back while at a supermarket while a het friend gets all posessive of me,
while I have to restock the fridge at home before my mom gets back because I
was trying to teach Quagmire!Demon how to eat real food..(holy runon
sentance!) Also Quagmire!demon keeps showing up at the supermarket to buy
condoms (as he's multiple tenticle man)
Best lines
"Steve. Two things. One... you have Tony's eye on your shoe and two, just go
to Sam's Club or buy multiple boxes of condoms."
'Oh. Hey, did you try telling her that she's pretty. Because flour doesn't
work on girls."
"This is cake flour and... ooohhh.. a joke about canibalism." *80's style
laughing and end scene!*
I um.. ate curry before bed.
So my fingers are tired.. I'm off to 1. Go to Sausage King and talk up the
counter gahy and 2. Work on tribal designs for an project. So far...
awesome Friday.
Here are some micro reviews for the time I was away. These where scribed on my computer (on notepad.. more on that later), saved as a .txt, put on a thumb drive and uploaded to LJ via the power of public computer terminals at the library.
Monster: anti-gravity, Super Dry and Hammer
Okay so as you may or may not know Nitrious Oxide is what makes Whip Cream change from heavy cream to whipped cream. It's a gas that causes things to foam. It also gives you an Amazing 15 second buzz. Hell that's how I ended up noticing deep subtext and some really good writing in the old GI Joe series (I never said it was GOOD for your brain). So a whip-it is when you take a Nitrous charger or a can of whipcream and suck the gas from it. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Yo Joe! So I was surprised to find Monster appealing to the whip-it crowd with Nitrous infused energy drinks.
Okay! So what does it taste like? Well. Go get a can of Monster's Coffee drinks or one of their regular energy drinks. Put it in paint can shaker and shake till it foams into small bubbles. Drink it. Same thing. The only difference between Hammer and Original is that Hammer costs about 1.50 more and has a mouth feel of someone fizzing it up. No it's not carbonated. It's foamy. There's a difference. I have to say, it's sorta awesome for a onetime thing. Not for 1.50 For that much money I can pour a Monster Original in a blender and cause it to foam up in exactly the same way. As for the carbonated offerings. Same thing but I wouldn't want to put a carbonated drink into a blender, but if you ever wanted to know what a whipped carbonated drink tastes like, now you know. I don't see this being on the shelves for too long. It's nothing more than the regular drinks but it feels like you drank.. swished it around in your mouth alot and swallowed. It's not adding anything really to the drink. There's nothing SPECIAL about their "new" formulation and I feel ripped off at how they claim the expresso they use for Hammer came from Holland. Maybe I'm spoiled by having some major coffee roasters and coffee cafes in walking distance, but the blend used in Hammer tastes exactly like the mix used in Orriginal. complete with sugar and cream. I was expecting Espresso.. Foamed. That's not what I gulped.
Monster's new Nitrous offerings are JUST marketing gimmicks. Buy one if you're currious but only one. The price mark up is way to much. Buy 4 drinks and with the markup you could have bought a Magic Bullet mixers and started to make your OWN "Nitrous infused" drinks. This is just a gimmick.
They aren't stupid. They know Red Bull is for Booze drinkers and Athletes. Monster is for the sugar rush craving extremists and teens. Here is the text from the can.
Nitrous Oxide makes your car faster at the drags but can it cut it in a drink?
Call us crazy but we combined Nitrous Oxide with Carbon Dioxide in a precise
ration and injected it into our potent Monster Energy base. Nitrous Monster has
a unique texture, smooth drinkable flavor and a buzz that's bigger than ever.
This is no Whip-It but it will whip you good
Well that's nice. Normally when you inhale Nitrous you're depriving your brain of oxygen and you tend to fall down. So nice of them to clarify that you don't need to lay out pillows when you drink this stuff. It's also not the same as a Whip-It.. the Drew Barrymore movie -staring Ellen Page from Juno (as all the ads scream at us to remember. Which feels like a giant "This is not a gay movie!" attempt by the marketing execs.) It's roller derby. It's Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page. For those of you who have your church sanctioned spouse and 2.5 kids.. I'll whisper something in your ear now... Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page give off huge gay for each other vibes.
About programs for Offline use but turn out to need you to be connected to the internet for you to use them.:
I hate you! I HATE YOU! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! I just want to use a word processor program. I do NOT need to be online to use the word processor. My normal program is Google Docs or Zoho.. Those are online word processors. But if I'm not online I would like to be able to use offline programs to write offline. Sometimes I'm going to be using a computer that is NOT online. Maybe I find it hard to do work when I have the wonderful world of Online right THERE. So Open Office. I hate you. I had to sneek my way online just so I could get you to install so I could work offline.
I said.. do you SEE this? Ladies and Gentleman. Carrot Top. Cannibalized for a generic ad. Sometimes I wonder if these ads are just punishing us for going to gray-area legal websites. I think they are punishing us. I mean if I"m in St. Louis or San Diego, Boston or Qualitec, Mexico (yeah. I was confused too) Somehow the same blond chicks with the MySpace photos (looking up at the camera.. clearly taking the picture of themselves pushed up cleavage in full view.) are in EVERY city waiting FOR ME! JUST for me really? Well I think you ladies should know that I prefer my ladies at least old enough to be able to get past that Ï can drink legally stage" So how about just..throwing someone 25 up there. Is the average student (who's under 22) having to go to warez and hack sites? Probly not. Why? Because if they have a good good school, someone's already thrown it up on the network for them. Hell at Caz we had GIGS of music back when MP3s was new tech and I put up a few episodes of this new "realplayer/txt file synched Fan Sub Anime" up for those in the know on campus. what was 99 and a small campus. Please. if your college doesn't have it's own file server then you don't know the right people. Point is. .. WHO are you trying to appeal to?I mean I'm never going to get carrot top out of my brain now.. that's why I had to share. (isn't a carrot top green?)
Okay I hate my life for seeing this. Gross. I remember when I used to be all about that pelvic muscle strand. Now I realize it was just the cheep booze that made me rationalize it.
Red Line Xtreme and a fresco taco.. I decided to make abstract art. This is
called "the swift dove of justice protects the Partiot fanatic that cleans
parts for inspection for the lesser good"
I should stay away from RedLine.
