like a theif in the night…

as if a strange phone call, and me going out and coming home to my door unlocked wasnt bad enough, my new neighbor got robbed at some point during the last few days. and it turns out i work with her. she knocked on my door earlier, and now the cops just did asking if i’ve seen anything. and i haven’t since i don’t leave the house. yuck.

cheap depeche mode tickets are 60$!! i guess i’m not going. that’s a bit much, esp for shit 300 level tickets. i need my money for trent touring through next summer. and yes i’ve estimated how much i’ve spent on tickets alone to all the nin shows, including the scalped tickets. i’m sick hahaha. there are 300 level tickets left for boston, but we’re going to wait and see on those. did i say that already? whatever.

looking forward to work only so i have something to do. i’ve done nothing again all day. i’ll probably end up sitting in high limit with no players, my luck.

i need to think of something to do with my pirate flag. the neighbors might tolerate it for halloween, but after that, they’ll probably hate it. and i’d need a flag pole…

god i am really really bored. i have no idea what to do with myself. i could unpack, because i still haven’t quite done so. and i could put the laundry away but i’ll just leave it sitting on the floor for another week or so. i could clean my desk, but i won’t. i could answer emails, again…won’t. i just have absolutely NO motivation to do anything. so i sit here and am bored and continue to do nothing. all that and i don’t work until 10 tonight, so i really have all bloody day. i can’t remember if i sent another photo order into walmart, i think i did, so i’ll go pick it up later. but beyond that…so friggen bored.

on a good note, someone went to hong kong and took detailed photos and measurements of the terminal’s old light fixures that are now in Cafe Deco in hong kong. we’ll be getting the info from them soon. sorta exciting. we might be able to get a reproduction done up, since we know we have no chance of getting them back from that restaurant. i’d probably start crying if i went to that restaurant haha. but no plans to go to hong kong any time soon. although carol said eric’s job hunt could lead them to living there for a few years. that’d be so cool!

and now, sky mall…

\ by

i love flying, and one of my favourite parts of flying – as long time readers know – is the sky mall catalog. this time, it was the christmas edition!! i figured it would be absolutely chock full of useless gadgets for sale just in time for the holidays. it was sadly disappointing, but it did have a few things to mention…

never-lose-another-golf-ball putter: a customer favourite for golfers, this putter is the easiet to practice with because it eliminates scrambling after practice putts – thanks to the attached reel you can simply wind in the ball after each shot. the putter is an authentic regulation 32″ club with rubber grip, and the reel is a quality spincast model that holds a 10lb test line attached to a regulation size golf ball. the line is so thin it doesn’t impede the ball. in a hammacher schlemmer exclusive design, the reel on our putter has a metal housing.

ok maybe it’s a typo, or i dont know enough about fishing reels, but i’d say something that holds 10 lbs of test line is pretty heavy and would affect the way you putt. but whatever. not too funny of a description but the picture is great. it’s a combo fishing rod golf putter. it’s really someone who got bored and hooked up a ball to their fishing rod. clever. stupid looking.

gravity-defying boots: these boots have a patented t-spring system that transforms walking, jumping, or running into an exhilarating bounce that builds balance, burns calories, and strengthens muscles. the boots buckle over athletic shoes and can be used by children and adults alike. gentle on joints and bones, the boots have a high-traction, non-marking tread for use indoors or out. for use on dry, flat surfaces while wearing appropriate saftey gear (not included).

again – not an interesting description, but i really need a flat bed scanner, the picture is incredible. maybe i can find one online. just think, the hard outter skeleton of roller blades attached to the bottom of a small tire. AHA, photo, check these things out

i’m mentioning this cuz i thought it was way cool and i want both of them
the csi young investigator’s forensic/dna kits: these official forensic/dna kits contain 22 realistic experiments that allow your child to crack two different mysteries in the style of the investigators on the popular television series. Children learn the basics of forensic science as they dust for fingerprints, extract dna, analyze inks and synthetic blood, and evaluate hair samples under a microscope. clear step by step instructions are written as if the child were taking part in the investigation, analyzing clues alongside the csi team members. ages 10 and up. forensic lab kit includes 200x zoom microscope, 24 plastic slides, light table, vials, beakers, and more to perform 12 experiments. dna lab kit includes miniature centrifuge, electrophoresis chamber, beakers, chromatography ring, lab glasses, and more equipment to examine dna code (dna samples and instructions are included). 59.99 each

HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

lol i’m sure it is. the picture makes it look STUNNING hahahaha.

also something else i want

ROFLMAO

collect your favourite limited edition president or historical talking figurine these unique talking action figures celebrate the life and times of george w bush, bill clinton, ronald reagan, john f kennedy, theodore roosevelt, abraham lincoln and many more. each detailed 12.5″ figure is dressed in hand-tailored clothing with realistic accessories. push the button and hear an actual recording of their voices (except for Lincoln) – they come alive with 25 authentic phrases. historical figures include albert einstein, princess diana, benjamin franklin, pope john paul II and many others. each arrives in a special “cabinet” collector’s box with stand. comes complete with a biographical pamphlet, historical timeline and individually numbered certificate of authenticity. *edit* looking at skymall.com for photos, apparently they don’t consider grant, eisenhower, wilson, andrew jackson, and truman presidents, because they are only listed as historical figures – along with jesus, moses, and Ah-nold.

today was running around. went out to see the toulouse-lautrec show at the art institute, which was cool, though i don’t really like his stuff. it is “classic”. so it was neat to see. there were alot of other artists in the show too, like degas and van gogh and picasso…it was all focused on the montmarte area of paris, where moulin rouge is.

did some shopping. got the most fabulous coat at H&M…you’re SO surprised aren’t you. i call it the british army pirate coat. it’s long wool, zips up, has decorations that remind me of bono’s admiral coat for the encore. but it’s all black. and it’s not a jacket. almost got another jacket too but i found the pirate coat so i just got that one. it was almost cold enough to wear it too. i might have to for the shows outside.

adr2 gets here tomorrow morning, and we’re all going to get her at ohare, cuz my aunt and uncle are actually now flying out of there a few hours later. so we get to be on our own to get to the apartment, do whatever we want, and get back to the area for the show. should be interesting haha.

waiting for u2 on conan now.

chicago

\ by

aloha. chicago is cool so far. went out for dinner with my aunt and 2 friends of hers from detroit. came back to the burbs after. going shopping tomorrow. adr2 arrives fri morning, and then the plan gets all screwy, cuz we’re gonna get her, go back to the suburb house, get my luggage, then train it back into chicago to the apartment. then we have the rest of the day on our own to either hang in the city or go to the venue. doors are at 6 apparently.

took kitty to the parent’s house before i left, and wow kitty was not handling it well. he was panting, tongue out, like a dog hyperventilating in the car. then was all freaked out and hiding in a corner of the basement and wouldn’t come out. 🙁 so i hope kitty is doing better.

nothing else to say i guess. oh! sabres won their opening game vs the islanders. yay!
