I was woken up this morning by contruction workers putting in a new drive way next door at 8am. Which wouldn’t have been so bad if a) i wasn’t hungover and b) the driveway is maybe 15ft from my bed. OK fine. So I walk downstairs all bleary eyed coffee in hand to bumble around on the internet all morning (wtf would I do without it?!) when i feel something squishy and wet between my toes. Bailey left a nice morning kitty suprise on the floor for me, yay!
And wouldn’t you know it, someone beat me to the (rather sick & twisted) idea for a website.

God I love the internet!

It would take 204.75 cans of Mountain Dew to kill me. The good news is I’ve only had 200 cans or so today. Give or take.

After becoming totally desensitized to the whole New Orleans/Katrina thing, I was totally caught off gaurd by a blogger writing about his brief return home & his hopes to find his cat Lola alive.
I look around and see that there’s not much damage. Some more small trees and shrubs are down in my neighbor’s yard. A handful of my potted plants have died. I walk back to the kitchen to get my duffel bag and start packing.
Then I see her: a long, low lump stretched across a side table. I take a step toward her and call out “Lola?”, but she doesn’t respond.
The pieces quickly fall into place: during the storm, the door to the study slammed shut, trapping her in the back of the house for nearly three weeks, a few crucial feet away from bowls of food and a tap that’s still dripping. Lola’s eyes are slits, green and lifeless. I call her name again, stroke her back, but nothing.
Without thinking, I say, “I’m sorry.” I keep repeating it: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Donate however and whatever you can.
I guess it’s been a while since I made a post (read: over 4 weeks). I’ve gone camping in Ontario, hit up Nova Scotia, and survived a 3 server crash at work all in that short amount of time. I’ve also switched this blog over to a new address (as you can tell already). This was so that Christa and I can blog about stuff in 1 location while still posting pictures and such. Cool, huh? I’m searching for a new header that fits the use of this blog a little bit better. We’ll see what I come up with…
In less than a week I will be sitting on a beach in the sun drinking beer and doing absolutely nothing else!!!!
Jealous much??
So yesterday I bought a cheapie commuter car to get me to and from work; a little 02 Hyundai Accent.
My 1st impression was MEH. I mean I paid next to nothing for an 02 w/ 57k miles, so I shouldn’t complain too hard. I’m just upset it’s not my 06 VW GTI that I want with a passion, but it will allow me to save up to BUY said GTI within the next year or 2 for sure.
I looked at a lot of older Ford whatevers that were approx the same price, but absolutely trashed with well over 100k miles. This should end up being reliable in the long run over the next year, which is all I need at the moment.
I’ll probably have a lot of thoughts & mini reviews on this car in the future, I’m just sleepy and MEH this morning since it’s a MONDAY IMPOSTER with the holiday and crap.
Creative has launched an Apple iPod mini lookalike in its latest member of the Zen MP3 players – Zen Sleek
And it is absolutely HOT!!! 
Maybe the title should be “Creative does iPod better than Apple.”

I’ve spent the past few weeks since moving to the Detroit area panning thru the city of Detroit using the satellite imagery from google maps. It’s a great time, and it’s been quite an adventure & learning experience about the history of the city, as well as the plight and economic disparity still existing today. Check out this snipit of the North Gratiot area near Van Dyke. North of Gratiot is the Great Detroit Prairie; a vast wasteland of tall grass & abandoned ruins of homes crossed by streets which used to comprise a bustling Slovak neighborhood at the turn of the century. South of Gratiot; a nice gated community of nice homes.
What the fuck. Please tell me why “Destiny’s Child announces breakup” is a CNN Breaking News headline? Oh and while we’re on the subject of WTF in case you are suffering from the celebrity bullshit withdrawl jitters, Katie Holmes says she’s converting to the Church of Scientology, embracing the religion of her boyfriend Tom Cruise.
If you care about either of these stories, how about you go sip on a nice warm cup of WHO THE FUCK CARES.
