head East!

here are some blogs of people that i could know

a heart in flight sarah started this about a year ago as a new year's resolution thing that she was going to try to do. i think she made it until april. maybe march. she had a recent spurt, but i don't think it lasted very long.

'Am-ha'aretz Press
Isaiah has lot to say about Christianity. he tried to update it about once/twice a month. a lot of thinking is involved, unlike here

Blake Stratton Blake's website was made by Apples. it definitely has a few bugs, but again it's okay for the occasional update

Chandler Jo she started this blog when she moved to Kansas City to go to IHOP. she writes songs/poetry.

those are about the only ones that have a chance of being updated. i used to follow an 90 year old lady, but she doesn't blog anymore. she probably died. that is a phrase most people only think their children might say. so long as i don't have any children, i'll be okay... there were a couple of other trip blogs, one to france, another to south africa, new yourk, egypt, and all of north america. some were good, most weren't.

so if you have some that you think i should discover, let me know. i like feeling connected to others.

my top rated

thanksgiving was one of those good ones. there isn't any pressure to be good, give good, or have a perfect campfire. although, that really isn't a pressure for me, more like a talent derived from many moons of a smoky sky and dry timbers.

my grandma's house is a house of stories. i used to think that she had all this stuff, what looked like junk to me. well, i learned that she has a story for each and every item in her home. it could be that she took a class with her daughter and made it, or that she got it from Bud's 2nd marriage. (i have a great uncle named Bud.) i also have a couple of relatives that got married after both of their spouses died after 50 years of marriage. they have over 100 years of marriage between them. they are celebrating their 50 month anniversary. when the pastor told them they had to go to marriage consoling, they told him they have 100 years of marriage. he didn't make them go :) it is pretty neat hearing about all the stuff and where it came from.

my grandma wore jeans for the 1st time i can remember. my grandpa wouldn't let her wear jeans cause he had to wear bib overalls when he was a kid and hated it so much that he wouldn't let his wife wear jeans outside. strange, i know. my dad didn't have jeans until he was a senior in high school.

my playlist tonight has been relaxed. shremaxed to the pancakes!

lessons learned today:

so i got some glasses ordered. it's only been about a year since i broke my glasses. same frame, just new lenses. so i was asking around the office for a good optometrist, and peggy said i should go to her opto cause he was a christian and so he was ethical. i didn't understand why being a christian means that he should be ethical. being a christian is a belief, being ethical is an action. not related. so i asked somebody else and went to that one instead. i also would suggest that you not sign the disclosure statement about your medical history. it allows them to give away your medical info for many reasons, including marketing and advertising. i really don't want people to do that. k? k.

waiting for my mikey rolls to be done. delicious rolls, i hope they turn out well. hard to say if they will, but i'm trying. something very yummy about butter, sugar, and flour. that's right, i think that is the first time i've used the word yummy in this blog.

my grandkids will be thanking me someday for their good looks. and organ donors.

i got put on the Christmas party committee. here were my suggestions-

holiday hats. not just santa hats, but any friggin type of hat associated with Christmas. turbans, or crowns, or star hats. there should be prizes for biggest, longest, and smallest. kinda like pensis. yes, there should be a prize for the small guy too.

the obvious christmas sweater challenge. i went to get one from my local thrift store, but it has 5 holes in it. so now i have to go find another crappy sweater. i don't think anybody else is going to wear crappy christmas sweaters, but isn't that what this contest is all about? :) categories could be, most bells, most santas, and best christmas saying/logo

best decorated cubicle thing. categories include most christmas lights, most jesus' and most out of place oraments. things like a rocketship, or custom made ornaments like gay shepards going at it.

another competition would be the non-traditional christmas challenge. Hanukkah, Quanza, Ramadan, and the atheist christmas should all be allowed. the only 2 categories here are most effort and best Fail.

there you have it, my office Christmas competitions. cause that's Christmas.

i was walking home from the international food fair, and there's a cat sitting in the middle of the parking lot. i'm all like, awww it's a cat. look at that cat. it's drizzly and cold, i bet that cat is miserable. so i went over and petted said cat. it had a crooked tail. sad cat.

i walked about 20 yards more. there was another cat. aww, sad cat. i hope it is doing okay.

i get home. frickin cat hiding in my leaf pile. get out of my leaf pile, cat.

i just read two mind-numbing science articles. they both are making my head explode.

not on today's list was spill a gallon of milk in my kitchen. then use all of my towels to clean it up. definitely not on my list.

thing that was on my list was go to the grocery store. get food. eat that food.

i hate chit chat. my mom would require us to spend about 15 minutes of time after church talking with people. i would do a couple of things to avoid that. i would be one of the last people to walk out of the sanctuary, i would then wonder the church and use the bathroom the farthest away from everybody else. then i would go sit in the van. i don't do well with social hours either. or down time between events. i would probably go to more conventions and other things like that if i didn't have to slosh through all the social interaction. probably one of the reasons i like being behind the scene. it gives me something to do, or a way to get out of talking to people:)

i would rather learn about people by working with them, or around them.

remind me later

the goats, the goats, the goats are on fire. where is my water?

so i have applied to a job at Princeton University to be their audio specialist, but haven't heard anything back from them. the job application says still pending and their HR department doesn't give out anymore information. this is the only limbo i seem to be winning.

ahh, the warm embrace of complacency. the job is becoming a little more bearable. i just need to keep a list of goals that i want to complete, otherwise i will continue to drift. right now i'm trying to decide what classes i want to take next semester. i'm thinking calculus and a CAD class. i'm still pushing towards a degree in EE. eventually a masters depending on how long this all takes. they offer a masters in IT, but it seems so elementary the description of it. it's for people who have never written code. what a joke. kinda half ass. i've noticed that this school is pretty good at doing things halfway.

still looking for a microwave.
