Oy, what a night.
Then, at 3am, the fire alarms goes off, and Roy, my alarm system, jumped out of bed and shook me like I was on a bridge with an 10.0 ritcher scale earthquake.
I put on my sweatshirt, and sandles, and my "alarm system", went to the bathroom, and took his dear time to get ready. Umm, dude, when there's a fire alarm going off, just because it went off 3 times already and all of them were false alarms for a real fire/real emergency, doesn't mean this is not an emergency. What's gonna happen when we live in a house, and the alarm going off and we're engulfed by flames, and I find him on the toliet? Huh?? :-D (Luv ya Roy!)
Then we finally went back inside. Sprinkler system went off on first floor apartment, probably has to do with the water heater. Not a real big deal but you'll never know!
I went to sleep, Mr. Alarm System, was unable to really settle down to sleep kept shifting the bed. Not exactly deaf friendly. I quipped, "Honey, you're moving slightly too much, can you kindly stop moving?", I'm sure he heard this instead, "Stop moving A$$hole!"
It was one of those nights when I felt so good to be asleep, then boom, one little thing has to wreck my night.
*sigh*
Another day, another time.

People's Court
Today, I was laughing out loud, and HAD to post the funny comments.
A lady is suing a furniture company $5000 for her living room set that she purchased for $3500. She claims that her leather couch had a stain. They were replaced. Then she claimed that there's "Behind marks", meaning it was used, and the leather stretched out a little bit before she had it. She never owned a leather couch and claims that there should be no creases. (In fact, after just a week after owning a leather couch, you will see a little indentation of where your butt was, that's the way leather works...it stretches).
The furniture company was willing to replace it the 3rd time, but she kicked him out. They bought the new cushions. Judge Milian wanted to go sit on them. Mind you, she's 5 feet, and looks tall on the judge's desk.
She walked around...her hair is pretty, make-up on and all that. She comes out with jeans and sneakers. I thought that was really funny. Then she proceeded to sit on the cushions...her feet barely touched the floor. "This is more comfortable than Wapner's chair!"
She walked back and had a wise crack and said,
"There are creases in the leather. It's natural. I just sat on all three cushions, and I have a sizable behind!"
Judgment for the defendants because the plaintiffs could not be pleased.
Just thought it was funny...

Photoshop

Last summer, I took Photoshop class. I had a lot of fun learning the ins and the outs of Photoshop. At the same time, I was playing around with icons and stuff over at LiveJournal. This is one of my works. I liked this!
I have a bad habit of starting something (a hobby), then stopping it and not touch it again. It was nice to see my work on Flickr once again.
Who's this?!

Went to Great Adventure with Roy. I went there in Sept, and Roy hasn't been there since he was in 8th grade. We were walking around and discovered that Tony Hawk was doing a show. Being a fan of his video games, I mosey myself over to catch a glimpse of the famous skater!
PS - That's Kingda Ka in the background. I conquered that in Sept, thanks to Roy's breathing technique. It was awesome baby!

Life Lesson #23884846
When making English muffin, make sure that the toaster is plugged in, so you don't have to wonder why it hasn't popped.
Oh C'mon you people, admit that you forget to plug in stuff too.
Life Lesson #23884845
When taking off the cornstarch on the bottom of your English muffins (for some reason, it's just too much for me), make sure you hold on to the English muffin tightly, or it will fall in a pot full of dirty water.
Need I say more?
At least the birds got a nice breakfast.

Old Emails
Anyhoo, I was going through some of my old emails on my sidekick, and found these amusing. Roy sent them to me years ago.
"Did you talk to your Mom? Did she mention anything about some vandals knocking down the Bush sign on their front lawn? You know, you better not tell on me. Because if I get caught, I'm going to cut a deal and testify against you." - the time we knocked over "Support Bush" sign on my mom's lawn...we dislike Bush.
"Why are cats good at video games? Because they have nine lives!"
"There's no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast."
"Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of wool? She had mittens."
"Did anyone at work notice your scrubs smelled like Gatorade?"
OH i LOVE this one!!
"Don't tell anyone because it may ruin my macho image, but years ago I did a couple cross stitch kits." LOL!!
Last one - (word for word...seriously!)
"Wow, with my spelling and your spelling, our kids will be horible spellers :-) Don't worry, I have a sugar cookie recipe I will bring and I will pick up the ingredence." LOL.
Ahhh...sweet precious memories.
Hair, and more hair.
He says, "If you cut your hair I'll be very pissed. Tell her only THIS much", putting his hands up and a very little distance between the thumb and forefinger.
I said, "Why?"
"Because you're beautiful with long hair." And here I am, looking at my long frayed hair with so many split ends.
I said, "Does that mean I'm not beautiful if I get a little haircut?".
"I knew you were going to say that." MEN!
I went to the hair salon, finally found the one that I really like. I told the hairdresser, "Please only cut an inch, that's all. Or my boyfriend will kill me." She laughed and said, "All men are like that!" I got my hair a much needed deep conditioning, and it feels so soft, and healthy.
Every morning, Mocha greets Roy while he's putting his shoes on...in a way, it's a Daddy-Daughter moment. Her fur gets all over his black pants. "Ugh. Comb her will ya? Her hair is falling out everywhere." Hmm...I thought he likes girls hair long.
I brushed her as well as I can without having her bite my hands off, and boy her winter coat really came out. I have to brush her a couple more times. I hate the time when their (the cats) winter coat sheds.

Short and Sweet
Today, Roy installed Pharaoh for our Game PC (yeah, the one I found in the trash to use for ROMs and my old Windows based games...I have a Mac now, so they won't work). Pharaoh is my most favorite Windows game. It's basically a city building in Egypt. I could not believe how FAST it moves...compared to my old slow laptop. It would take frickin' forever to build a pyramid...now, I can finish it in no time. Woot!
See, I told you...short and sweet. Boring? Tough.

Interesting links
Catcam - ever wonder what your cat does when he/she goes out exploring? Check it out! Perhaps I can rig one on Hobbes to see what he does when I'm not home.
Garden State Roller Girls - Roni and I and a group of friends saw a roller derby. It was not professional competition, just a friendly one. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun to watch! We may go again to see a professional team. It's definitely different than 70's -80's teams.
Russian Arcade - During the Cold War, Russians forbade any arcade games from another country, instead they made their own. A group of people are trying to rebuild them. Take a look!
Until next time...

Commericals
One biggest vexation that I go through is the commercials.
The following commercials should be banned:
Valtrex - Pill for genital herpes that the affected partner can take, but will not spread it to the other partner. "I have genital herpes. And I don't. We would like to keep it that way." OMFG! Seriously! I must have seen this like 4 or 5 times PER HOUR! I get it okay? When I have (like I will ever have), genital herpes I'll call you, but please I implore you, get rid of the dang commercial! Roy and I would make fun of the actors, and a scene will pop up in our heads.
Actors auditions for commercials.
Agent says, "I got good news and bad news. The good news is you landed a commercial job!"
Actors says, "Yahoo! All of these years of trying! I finally got a job! What's the bad news?"
Agent says, "Bad news is, you have genital herpes."
Months later, you see the couple walking down the street.
"You got cooties! You got cooties! You got cooties!", you yelled out loud.
*Disclaimer: this is meant to be a joke, not to be taken seriously. If you actually do have genital herpes, sorry. Try some Valtrex! I heard good things!
Optimum Cable - You know the one, with the female singer singing with a band, singing why you should choose, "For All your long distance calls!" Let's set up a soap opera for her because she's so dramatic. I see this one just as frequent as the Valtrex commercial.
That's all I can think of right now...
I'm sure there's more, so I'll add to this list from time to time.

My Living Will
Originally inspired by the Terri Shiavo debacle…
Subject: Living Will - Print and sign one today
I, _________________________ (fill in the blank), being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.
Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of peckerwood politicians who couldn’t pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it.
If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for a cold beer, it should be presumed that I won’t ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my spouse, children and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it
a day.
Under no circumstances shall the members of the Legislature enact a special law to keep me on life-support machinery. It is my wish that these boneheads mind their own damned business, and pay attention instead to the health, education and future of the millions of Americans who aren’t in a permanent coma.
Under no circumstances shall any politicians butt into this case. I don’t care how many fundamentalist votes they’re trying to scrounge for their run for the presidency in 2008 (or 2032), it is my wish that they play politics with someone else’s life and leave me alone to die in peace.
I couldn’t care less if a hundred religious zealots send e-mails to legislators in which they pretend to care about me. I don’t know these people, and I certainly haven’t authorized them to preach and crusade on my behalf. They should mind their own business, too.
If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a political cause, I hereby promise to come back from the grave and make his or her existence a living hell.

ADDUNEM: Please make sure my cats' ashes are buried with me along with my Reba scrapbook, my iPod, my laptop, my DS, and my hearing aids. This is not a joke.
Hearing People can be immature
T-Mobile should really only make this available to those who have data only plan on their sidekick. I can tell you that almost the majority of the hearing who has sidekick will not choose that plan. Sadly, this occurs:
Hearing Abusing ip-relay
Read ALL of the posts....scroll to the bottom. There's a post by a deaf person objecting to this whole thing. What made me even MORE furious is this line, "I can explain why it took so long for someone to notice it. 90% of the deafs are illiterate. One of the deafs favorite pastimes has been hacking and I seen that with my own eyes and still they dont pick this thread up till today."
OH my frickin' God. I'm not usually 100% involved with the Deaf community, but this really pisses me off, seriously.
I got a Beehive in my ear...
In a way, I am glad that I'm not working right now because it would really bother me at work. I just kind of go outside, chill, watch TV, play with my cats (that is if I wake them up), just kind of keep myself busy.
Yesterday, I spent some time looking at YouTube for various videos. On Roni's blog, she showed me a video of Deaf Ninja . It's pretty funny. I didn't really have to interpret too much for Roy because this guy was very clear of telling the story. When I saw this, I stumbled upon a video of Clarke School Student. WARNING - not for those who are 100% supportive of oral schools.
At first, Roy thought this was an actual advertisement. He wasn't laughing. Then I said to him, Clarke School for the Deaf is an oral school, and this guy is making fun of them. Roy got it and he was laughing. Then he saw, "Karaoke for the Deaf" by Hollow Men (kind of infamous video of a guy interpreting "Torn" by Natalie...not in ASL or sign language). Roy was almost peeing in his pants when he saw that. Since then, he won't stop signing the last words, "TOOOORRRN". Drives me crazy.
It's such a nice day outside. I think I'm gonna hang out by the pool.

This is Hobbes getting upset that he couldn't come in Jamie's room. I have to keep Jamie in her own room at times because of her umm...presents. :-) Every time I go in there to play with Jamie or clean up, this is what Hobbes does. He cries and cries. Then I let him in. 20 sec later, he wants out. Whatever.
This is our little garden. From Right to left - Catcus, Sunflowers, Catnip (yeah yeah, a lot!), a Earthy Disc that had seeds in them...they didn't grow, Spearmints in the background
Hmm...I dunno how to rotate this photo. The one in background is a bed of flowers. It will be a bunch of different flowers. Roy knew that probably a low percentage of flowers will emerge from the seeds, so he just spread the entire package...Almost ALL of them sprouted! We can't wait for the flowers to come in.
The foreground is the beans and tomatos. We thought a small percentage will grow...A LOT grew. The beans branches is growing pretty tall...it has outgrew the short supporter, and now it outgrew the taller one. As you look closely, you can see it winding up. Pretty cool. This is a learning experience for the both of us, so we're learning what type of soil they like, what type of veggies grow best, etc.
First post...
I do have another blog for GameSpot, but it's mainly about video games. If you want to check it out, LadySekhmet. I normally talk about video games and what games I've played and stuff. You would have to be a member of GameSpot to respond to my posts, but feel free to comment it here.
Just a few days ago, I was told that Jamie is going into congestive heart failure. It sucks. Her time is coming soon, and I'm ready. It's tough because she does not seem to be in pain or suffering. I know she does get uncomfortable when she tries to lay down, you would be too if you have a massive tumor in your belly. :-)
I know my cats love to give me a present, Hobbes gave me a nice wet hairball this morning.
I'll have to figure out how to post pictures, so I can post pictures of our mini-garden. We have beans, catnip (which the cats go CRAZY after we nip off a few), spearmints to use for tea, sunflowers and a bed of flowers. There are also some cactus.
Until then...see ya
