hello! yoshi

Ate some White Castles for lunch, it’s Friday the 13th, and the day is nice. It doesn’t get any better than this. Well, I guess there could be a real White Castles around here. Unfortunately, I have to settle for frozen ones. But they’re still awesome.

So not much has been really happening in my world just now. Actually, this weekend, my parents are finally moving out here to the west coast, so my hands are a bit full right now. But other than that, I think things have been pretty quiet in these parts, which is good, since that’s what I need right now.

So thanks for stopping by, but take a visit to my other reads right now, like Katie, cybr, Muse, Jules and most of all, Meesh!

This week has been slow. I’ve been laid up in bed or on the couch resting because I feel sick or nauseous or both. Recovery is crazy from surgery. But I’m still doing a TGIF post today because it’s what I do and that’s how I roll.

I just want to remind everyone that next Friday is Free for all Friday, and if you’re not familiar with FFAF, it’s where you get to guest post on my blog. It’s fun, it’s a way to pimp your site, possibly get a couple new readers (or lose them! LOL). So look for it next Friday.

cybr came to the dark side and re-activated his World of Warcraft account. Leveling is so much faster in that game now, and well, I think he’d love to see Outland. It’s pretty damn cool, and it’s a lot of fun. We’ll see how that goes.

Jen totally made LOL when I read a post about what one of her co-workers did with her telephone. You should read it, totally funny story! She’s too funny! And I’m so glad I know when she updates in my reader now!

It looks like Abraxus picked up Age of Conan recently and wrote a pretty good post about it. We’ve been considering picking it up. I think Meesh was really curious about it, so I think we’re probably going to end up going to Best Buy this weekend and picking it up. Or she will and we’ll try it out. I doubt it will run on our laptops, but you never know! We do all our gaming on the laptops, perhaps it’s time to change?

Finally, girlrobot posted her friday links as usual and posted a picture of the most awesome tattoo I’ve seen in a while! Check it out!

Unfortunately this weeks TGIF post had to be pre-written because I’m in the hospital and should be getting discharged today. I had to stay overnight because I have sleep apnea and they just wanted to be sure I was ok, presumably because I just had anesthesia and I guess I might have some issues with anesthesia and sleep apnea. Who knows. All I know is I don’t have to pay for it thank goodness.

Breigh and Xander just got back from an awesome vacation, and they just celebrated their 8th anniversary! You should probably go wish some congratulations and just say hello. You really need to check out the pictures she took too because they’re OMG so beautiful! (Xander if you have a blog, I didn’t know! If you do, comment and leave me the address!)

I know I just talked about Katie last week, but she just got her hair dyed. You should check it out, it looks so awesome! I wanna dye my hair too. But not pink like hers. LOL I’m thinking more like auburn or light brown. I’ve had black hair for almost 40 years now. I could use the change.

Lisa is back from disney and sounds like she had a great time. I’m just so glad that we as a community could help her out and give her a great time with her family. Now of course, she comes back and she’s laid off from her job. Please head on over there and give her some love. I’m sure she could use some right now!

Melanie mentioned that she might like to try out a Blogger reality show, where her webcam is on 24/7 and never turned off. Kinda like a Big Brother for bloggers. I think it might be a great idea, but I might have to agree with her dad that it might be a bad idea because someone could easily take any scene they say and warp it. But honestly, I think it’s kinda cool. I mean they have justin.tv and all, why not plaidtoaster tv?

cybr and Muse made the big announcement. You should probably head on over there and see what the fuss is about. It’s so happy it’s crazy! (Shameless advert: Don’t forget to check out A Little Scary, it’s a great web comic with new content every Monday and Thursday!)

Pandora finally made a post recently. I am waiting to hear about her Germany vacation and about her laptop drowning. Should be interesting to hear!

Meesh just bought a new digital camera! I bet you’ll be seeing goofy ass shots of me on the net now. Not like I’ve done that enough on my own right? It should be here on Monday. Fun fun!

Thanks for checking out my TGIF post, please come next week, when you might show up! Suggestions for the TGIF posts are always welcome!

Well, traditionally, TGIF around here has become a way for me to recap the week and put out some linky love, kinda like girlrobot’s Friday Links. But mine are a bit more closer and personal. So what’s happened this week?

If you missed it, yours truly has become an American Citizen. That’s right folks, I get to stand jury duty now. And Neptunebaby even says it’s not that bad! I might get to experience it some day! Oh also, Avitable made a point to say I can now say this, “If John McCain gets elected President, I’m renouncing my citizenship!” LOL so true!

Katie just painted her room after she just moved into her new place. You might want to check it out and wish her a warm homecoming to her new place.

Jules has opened up her new Mets blog, so if you’re into baseball or the Mets in particular, then you really should go check it out. seriously! I also talked to her and she might open up her personal blog this weekend! I totally can’t wait. I miss the blogging Jules days.

Oh yeah, Colin got laid. That’s some seriously good news, you think? Oh and something about visiting the US or something. Yeah I’m pretty sure if he gets to the west coast it’d be great, but starting out in Washington DC, that’s pretty damn far. He’d have to fly. Unless he’s planning a really big road trip, which would be cool. But yeah, if he made it out here, he could see Katie and I. Would be cool times.

If you missed TequilaCon 2008 like myself, then you’ll probably benefit from the video NYCWD posted: TequliaCon 2008: The Final Shot. It’s a great video summarizing TequilaCon 2008 in 120 seconds. It’s awesome! He’s totally gonna get burned! Watch to the end!

If you didn’t know, Meesh was a bit under the weather, and I’m thinking I poisoned her last weekend. It was not pretty, I feel really bad. But she’s feeling a lot better now. We’ll just have to remember, no more Dinty Moore Beef Stew for her!

Last but not least, yesterday was Breigh’s birthday, go wish her some birthday wishes! She also just got home from a vacation in France. I’m totally jealous.

So TGIF, right? I’m so happy it’s the end of the work week. But what will happen this weekend? I guess for me, there could be a lot of sleeping going on, but I doubt it. I always try to sleep in, but I end up waking up earlier than I thought I would, only because I felt like I was wasting the day away. Sometimes I wonder why I waste so much time sleeping, when I could be doing something productive, but honestly, even if I was awake, what else would I be doing except wasting time playing with some movie quiz or something on Facebook. Talk about wasting time!

Today though, I had to wonder why people don’t listen. Like today, I went to KFC to get lunch, which is always a 2 piece thigh/drumstick combo. So I ordered a “number 2 with diet pepsi”. Did you just hear me? How could the girl at KFC mistake that for “medium diet pepsi”? How? Let me repeat that. “Number 2 with diet pepsi”. Say it out loud yourself. Does it sound like I just said “Medium diet pepsi”? WTF? So I got to the drive thru window and I told her, I wanted a number 2. (let’s just skip over the fact that it sounded like I needed to go to the bathroom and take a dump for a second.) She nodded like she was saying, “Ohhh, ok, that’s what I thought you said.” Which pissed me off more. Why don’t people listen?

Then there’s this stupid driver. We’re driving through a school zone. The light is flashing, that means kids are bound to be around, since school is letting out. This means you slow down to 20 mph. Nope. This guy is weaving through traffic passing everyone that’s going slow, acting like he couldn’t understand why everyone slowed down all of a sudden. He obviously has no kids and doesn’t care about kids, or he’s a kid himself. Ugh. Where’s a cop when you need one? I know the defense to this one too. “Yeah, but there’s no kids anywhere!” Yeah yeah, but did you know that kids are good at not being seen? You never know when a kid is going to jump out at you. It’s happened before. Fuckers.

So how’s your day?

So today, my mom should be showing up! yay! She’s coming into town to check out some houses, since my parents will be moving here in June. Yeah, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it, but my parents have sold their house in NJ and are now getting ready to make the move out here to be closer to us. It would be cool if my sister moved out here too, but I think she’s happy in AZ. Honestly, I don’t blame her.

But yeah, I’m sure I’ll keep up with the posts. I’m trying to post ahead of time, just so I don’t miss the days. But this week, I might even fail the posting everyday thing. Of course, I haven’t really had any posts of depth lately. I mean seriously. I’ve been talking about trivial things, things in the news, and just about nothingness. I promise in the future I’ll start writing some more posts with real content.

Oh, also, Meesh was making note that some people I know aren’t in my links. If you’re not in there and you think you should be, please let me know. I might have forgotten some folks when I rebuilt the links.

So any big plans for this weekend?

Well to summarize the week, I’ll just say that this week has been full of wonders, and full of pain. I’ve been sickly this whole week. Meesh had her birthday on Tuesday (yay!) and she got some good presents. Not from me, unfortunately, because we’re trying to save money, both for a new house and for taxes. Ugh. We owe this year.

Other than that, it’s pretty much the same old thing around here. I’ve got really nothing to complain about today. There’s probably a few things I’d like to throw out there, but I know I can’t just yet. Still waiting…

I don’t have my magical mirror today, so I’m afraid I’m not seeing anyone, but I do know that Pandora will be away for the next week, she just left for Germany! Yay! So I’ll be one of the guest bloggers over there, along with Daniel, Colin, and Abraxus. This should be some mass chaos over there. Looking forward to it.
