So someone told me that it’s St. Patrick’s Day. I hope you guys are having a good day and you’re wearing your green so you don’t get pinched!
I would like to say so but it’s not true. I’m typing with one hand because they did a fistula operation on my left hand. i”m out of commission for a few days. darn the luck!
Ok so last night Meesh and I had a shot of Yagermeister to bring in the New Year. That was good. Now, 2009 is officially here and well, so far it’s not so bad. Well, it is only the first day after all. As for resolutions, I told myself I wouldn’t do those, because they’re normally things I should always do (happiness to the world, doing more good each day and just typical stuff) and I don’t want to have to break the resolutions.
But, one thing I plan to do is post regularly on a regular basis. It’s one thing that I recall Tiggerprr saying about her blog. She wanted to get back into it.
So what’s been going on lately? It wouldn’t seem like much is going on except for the massive snow that we’ve gotten. Honestly like I was saying before, it really figures that we would get all this snowfall (about 2 feet total) after I told my dad it never snows here. The roads are horrible, and there’s this median of snow in the middle of our road, so turning left out our driveway becomes an adventure!
As you can see from my awesome webcam picture, it’s not too bad as far as snow goes, but it’s horrible for this area! We rarely get snow. This is so rare it’s not even funny. I think I recall someone on the new saying, “I hate the snow, that’s why I moved to Seattle.” Indeed. It rarely snows around here.
In other news, for those of you who have forgotten that I have a food site, I’ve gone ahead and made a new post there. This one is about the Travel Channel show called Man vs. Food. It’s really a good show, and I’ve included a video about it. My short post is about the “Italian Stance“, which is basically the way to eat “the Chicago way”.
If that’s not enough, I’ve also posted a short story about the two-legged cat at jCrap. This one includes a video as well, and even though it’s in Japanese, all you really need to be able to do is view it. Very astonishing and heartbreaking.
So, what have you been doing to prepare for the holidays? I’ve done absolutely nothing. Nothing I say!
P.S. What movie is the title of this post from? hint: it’s out on DVD now!
Well for once, the weatherman was not lying when they said the snow will be coming down. Right now, we’re still getting snowed upon, and it looks like we’ve gotten about 3 to 4 inches so far. It doesn’t look like it’s gonna be stopping anytime soon either. It also looks like they’re closing some roads (not here) in the area. That’s some crazy driving. Hopefully DOT is really working hard, I’m sure they are, but oddly enough, our street (a very busy street) has hardly been plowed. Actually I might have heard a truck go by just recently.
But here’s a webcam picture of what it’s like on our street right now. Keep in mind that this road is very busy. In one given day, about 27,000 cars pass this road. That’s how busy it is.
I’ve heard this storm is supposed to continue until tonight, and I believe it ends sometime tomorrow morning. This is indeed crazy. I told my parents when they moved here that it never snows! Of course, I had to made a liar of! Thanks mother nature!
If I was in the mood to play in the snow, it would be great! And poor Meesh, she’s at work right now! She has to drive back in this horrible mess!
So you might have noticed that things around here have changed. I guess since Wordpress released 2.7, I’ve been looking for a new look for the site. Danalyn sent me a link to this theme and I’ve been in love since. It’s pretty damn cool. You can even change the orders of the side items. Pretty slick eh?
On a different note, I’ve had to redo my blogroll. You’ll notice it’s a bit smaller than normal. If you’re missing from the list, let me know and I’ll add you in there.
Other than that, it’s almost Christmas, are you ready for the presents and stuff? I know I’m so not ready. LOL
So I had surgery today and got my peritoneal dialysis tube stuck in my belly. This will enable me to do peritoneal dialysis next month. Which is good, because my kidneys are failing man. This will get me going, thank goodness.
In other news, remember that site that Danalyn and I had started not too long ago? Well, now another friend has donated his domain for it and it’s now located at it’s new home, jCrap.com. It’s now known as J-crap, and it looks like we’ll be having some serious fun with it. Hopefully it becomes something.
And just to pimp out that Danalyn’s got some themes and plugins going on at her site. They’re really cheap and I’m sure you could use them. So why not help out a starving designer and buy some of her stuff? She’d appreciate it.
This is my obligatory Happy Thanksgiving post, since, everyone is doing it. I figure I’d take the time out of making food (ok, we only got mashed potatoes and cranberries) and make this post. I see a lot of other folks are wishing thanksgiving, like here, here, here, here, here, here, and so on. Those are just ones I’ve just seen on my news reader as of now.
I also want to remind everyone that it is Free for all Friday (FFAF) tomorrow, and Danalyn has opened up her blog for FFAF posts. So go on over there and make a post on her blog, she’ll appreciate it, I know.
Also, don’t forget to visit the Freaky Japan site which we created. I’m sure you’ll have some good laughs, I promise!
P.S. Can anyone tell me where the title of this post is quoted from?
Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of Final Fantays X-2 music. Maybe the music just sets my body to ease, perhaps it reminds me of the game and how much I loved playing it. It’s almost a shame that I finished it, although I didn’t get 100% of the things to do in it. But honestly, can you really finish a game 100%? Don’t answer that. Anyways I wanted to take the time to announce a new website, Freaky Japan at http://freakyjapan.wordpress.com. It’s all about the freaky stuff in Japan. As you can imagine, we just don’t ever have an ending to content. Right now, we’ve got a few writers for it, including these two jokers, and me of course. You should check it out!
Once again, the title has nothing to do with the post, however, it’s definitely one from one of my favories movies of all time.
More importantly, I had to make a post here to move my hijacked post down from the top. obviously it’s no longer my birthday. And thanks to everyone who came by to wish me a happy birthday, you guys are awesome!
There’s not much to say except right now, since 11/13, they’ve release the new expansion for World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, and we’ve been playing wow for a while. So please, leave a message at the beep!
