i should be ashamed to say this but. i love the movie “clueless”. best movie from the 90s.
it’s been a while..
omg trent! nin played full band version of “non entity” and “not so pretty now” at the kroq breakfast this week. gah! why couldn’t you play those songs at the spiral show! *greedy* hope for a different setlist next month tho! “non entity” very cool and different from the boom box version haha. and “not so pretty now” not at all what i was expecting it to be. it’s a fast rock song. ha. who knew. it definitely doesn’t fit in with the rest of the “with teeth” stuff…and shock of shocks i’m not sure i like it. it’s alright.
more charges from gas stations in florida on my debit card…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i’ve been identity thefted. someone is using my bank account to buy gasoline in west palm beach florida. spent 275$ so far. and i wondered why my account was so low. gah. stressful. i don’t know how they got my account number, as none of my cards have been stolen, and i don’t use that account number to buy things on the internet, i only use my credit card. so if they were to steal my info from internet purchases they’d be charging them, not using debit…i guess i gotta watch it now, see if anything else weird gets billed to me.
spur of the moment urbex today. chris IMed that he would be checking out the dunlop office building with his friend alex. so i went out with them around 4. cased the place a few times, not knowing where to park. once that was settled we found no way in, except this one window we kept going back to. but there was no way i’d be able to get up to it, i couldn’t even reach the ledge. we convinced chris to drop the 10 feet into the building and find something for alex and i to use to get up. and voila he produces a ladder LOL. so that was helpful. the building is rather unremarkable, but it was a nice change of pace. 3 floors of empty and retarded graffiti, most all dealing with smoking weed. it would have been a fine office building had it been kept up. now it would need alot of work and cleaning, and windows. the ladder was helpful in getting out of the building as well, since again, couldn’t reach the ledge. stopped at wendy’s for a quick snack, and home again. i was gonna clean today. maybe i should do that haha.
don’t fuck with the dippin dots
we have found the secret to the sabres success… i need to eat a large strawberry dippin dots between the 1st and 2nd period, NEVER after the 2nd. keep up with the routine and the sabres win. WOO HOO! great game again. 2nd period was exciting, goals and hitting people and all that excitement. yaay
well yesterday still sucked. went to get my hair cut and i was starving so i had some soup on the way. stomach revolted, and she kept messing with my hair and putting more stuff in it, and i was like OMG STOP ALREADY I’M DYING I NEED TO GO HOME! my hair is REALLY short now. yikes. it’ll grow back. i told her to cut alot off the back because i think it grows faster than the rest, and then i end up with a mullet, and she sure did go short in the back. whatever. so came home and drank more maalox and slept til 6. went to work and tried to eat, yuck. stayed 4 hours but by then i was feeling ok and actually wanted to eat again. i had some mashed potatoes at home before bed and now i’m 100% i’d say. except my head hurts, which means taking meds, which kill my stomach. we’ll see. sabres game tonight! woo!
the terminal this weekend was cold but i got to see joe and get updated on his whole trespassing thing from last year. it’s all settled now, which is good. a bit exorbitant fee but he’s not a criminal anymore hahaha.
what else haven’t i updated about? i dunno…
tmi
something is wrong with me. left work after 3 hours because my stomach was dying again, and all i had to drink right before was tea. went back to my game and it started to hurt, finally couldn’t take it and went to the emt’s and went home. was feeling ok after the meds started to work, and went to bed. but it came back every hour. i made myself throw up each time as it seemed to help. then i woke up around 5am with my hands and feet itching like crazy. couldn’t go back to sleep so i got up and i have a rash all over my arms and legs. it looks like razor burn and itches something fierce. i looked up stuff online but they just say you have a rash and usually it’ll go away, and if not go to the dr. then i started throwing up without having to make myself do it. yuck. i took some benedryl i had in the cabinet, maybe i’m allergic to something. or wtf kind of chemicals did we run into at spaulding? ian is sick too. must try to sleep. stupid itching gah!
thursday brought exploring with ian. started early and headed to spaulding fibre. spaulding is a HUGE complex that made…fibre? tennis balls? i dunno really. haha. they made paper for sure, but there was alot of stuff there that didn’t seem needed for making paper. including an acid room, and tons and tons of wooden vats of whatever. lots of machinery. the boiler room was most impressive, much like the flintkote machine room. veerrry pretty. saw the biggest bird ever in one of the buildings, huuuge wing span. and a squirrel. and a groundhog. and a mummified cat. we spent about 4 hours there before getting lunch at royal and heading down to the terminal for the board meeting. drove by transfig to see the status, and ian wandered in the terminal during the meeting. after, went to REA real quick, then cased the psych center. i didn’t get followed by security this time haha. back to my house we hung out and i showed him the horror that was the discovery channel urban exploration show on buffalo. hung out some more, crashed, and he left not too long ago. i took a total of 1 film picture LOL, but pretty much filled my 512 card.
one of my grandmas lungs is completely gone to cancer. that’s not a huge surprise, given that she’s smoked her whole life. what is weird though, is that through all the medical scares of the past 15 years (intestinal hernia or something, dislocated shoulder, broken hip, congestive heart failure…she had total medical check ups last year) they didn’t find it, or even think to look….??? so it’s a matter of time now, but her heart is “fine” so it’s not like she’s going to die tomorrow. i think she’s 80 so it’s not a huge sad deal or anything. it’s just aging.
the tournament was pretty neat. different. very much less stressful and people aren’t really mean (just one guy really). worked 4-11 and then we went out for drinks on 3rd street. tony met up after class ended and it was a nice time. and i had 4 drinks and was not even buzzed. it was funny to be drinking with people who took me to the hospital last time hahahahaha. it may become a monthly thing again, so if i get included it will be nice to have an early night right before my “weekend” once in a while without getting docked on pay haha.
the new plan for tickets is…besides me and phill trying for tickets, carlo who was going to be getting his own is now going to try to get 4 too, and if any of us get 4, we’re sharing with each other…any extras we sell. hoping at least one of us, or one of phill’s 3 other people trying for us will get some. god it’s like u2 all over again haha
may be going to detroit sooner than expected. mom was on her way home when my uncle called her, the nursing home is rushing my grandma to the hospital. so my mom is on her way back to detroit…i’m expecting the worst. this is an alright week for it. i’m so mean ha.
a real post is in order but first…i’m looking online for a raincoat. (it’s supposed to rain thursday and ian and i are planning to go out…yes, any excuse for a new coat)…this has GOT to be the most hideous coat i have ever seen…and it’s 500$! but the fact that in the list of features, about the fabric etc, it says “savvy”…that gets points ha. children’s raincoats…big and tall mens raincoats…plus size raincoats..dog raincoats. how about raincoats for really skinny tall girls?!? grr maybe i’ll leave the house tomorrow to find a raincoat. why are these things so hideous and expensive?
alright. so my grandma fell in her house last tuesday, went to the hospital and is now in a nursing home. she’s not hurt though i guess. i haven’t really talked to my mom to know what’s going on. seems as if she’ll be staying there for a while/ever. i’m sure i’ll be forced to trip out to detroit soon. at least i can try to get away for a few hours and explore something (mcs *cough*). all i know is this BETTER not mess up future travel plans. i don’t care if that sounds bratty and mean. grandpa already ruined one vacation. no more.
aside from that nothing much is going on. as noted, explored some. i’m currently working on redoing all of institutional green to include site histories when i can. but i already don’t like the design i picked. on a good note though, i’ve been successfully using simpleviewer. i spent 3 days trying to find a good photo album script and they just don’t exist. now that i seem to be able to install simpleviewer and have it work, it’s good enough. it’s the rest of the site design i no longer like.
this week brings a haircut hopefully, a raincoat hopefully, getting sabres tickets wednesday hopefully (home games next wed/fri…may only go to wed game, depends on mine and phills “plan” ha), exploring thursday and then board meeting, and i’m thinking of tripping up to toronto to shop friday. but i don’t know yet. i still need boots. but it’s supposed to be crap weather, so i may wait. i’m working a black jack tournament tomorrow so i work 4-11 only, with mahjong to follow after…right gotta remember to go to work way early. probably won’t be shopping before hand…
