Quick little update

Here's the usual horoscope.
Capricorn:As an Earth sign, you're usually pretty confident about your natural powers of attraction. But the Moon is giving you a temporary case of the "Am I too fats? or Is my cleavage starting to sags?" If you need reassurance that you're still One Hot Babe, consider submitting some of your sexy photos to Playboy. Their new campaign, "The Women of Wal-Mart," could allow you to be featured in an upcoming centerfold. (Who knew that working for minimum wage would turn out to be a smart career strategy?)

Actually, this is pretty much the opposite. Lately, I've been feeling rather good about myself on a physical level. I've been getting more opportunities to dress up (shirt and tie) at work, which generally leads to some very positive feedback. Plus, I'm still dropping some pounds off. Can't complain about those!
As for the Playboy option... No thanks. ;-)

Shout outs:
Mega-hi to Lolligag and Moreta! *big hugs you both!*

*blink* *blink* *shakes head* Something's different...

Yeah, I got sick of the previous blog template. Decided to go with this one, instead.

That pretty much constitutes my update for today.

Contentment.

Work kinda sucked today. Pulled a 13 hour day.
Despite that, I am in a really good, content mood right now.

1) Yesterday, I went over to T's place. We cooked dinner, and watched some tv (Enterprise and West Wing). It was a wonderful evening. :-)
2) Went out with a friend after work tonight. A piece of carrot cake, some chamomile tea, and the company of a wonderful friend. Can't complain about that. Plus, there was a cute cop in the coffee shop. *grin*
3) Life is generally going really well right now. For that, I am thankful.

Ooohh... Something cool. Thanks to Oasis (who got it from a friend of hers), my bloggity goodness now has a comment system!! Check it out, leave a note, have some fun!!
_{This way I also know that people are actually reading this thing!! ;-)}

YIPPEE!!!

Today is a WONDERFUL day! Why? Because T and I hit the three month mark today!
That's right! I've been with my sweet, kind, loving, and amazing boyfriend for three months!
I love you, sweetie!

Horoscope time.
_{You are no doubt asking "Gee, Bill. Who provided this horoscope?" Well, I'll tell ya! 365gay.com That's who!}
So, let's go.
Capricorn: You're feeling relieved about something. Marilyn Manson was cleared of those battery charges (for rubbing his crotch against a security guard at a 2000 concert.) Roman Polanski finally received his Oscar, thanks to buddy Harrison Ford's recent visit to France. Mercury's move out of annoying retrograde is brightening your spirits. Things are improving. Your last haircut came out okay. Your cat is learning how to use the litter box (it's about ****ing time!) And your new love hasn't broken up with you - yet. (Just wait 'til your honey finds your prized dryer lint collection.)

Ok, I don't like that last bit. Not at all. No way, no how.

I've gotta get me some of this!

About five percent of people on the anti-depressant drug clomipramine have noticed an interesting side effect: when they yawn, they have an orgasm. While a more common side effect of the drug is a reduction in sexual desire, "one woman, better after being depressed for three months, wanted to keep taking the tablets" so she could continue enjoying the side effect, a report in the journal New Scientist noted. Some can produce the result by purposefully yawning, but others "would presumably actively seek out the most boring person they could find at parties," the journal said. (Reuter)

Anybody know where I can get a bottle? ;-)

Don't worry! I'm alive! :-)

Been a bit of a busy week. Here goes:

Monday:Went to the Bif Naked concert at Cowboys (local meatmarket-like bar). She put on an amazing show. Very high energy. Audio tech couldn't mix worth a damn. Got drunk. Had a good night. :-)

Tuesday:Went out for dinner and saw 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' with a couple of coworkers. Weird-ass movie. Liked it.

Wednesday: Worked late.

Thursday: Worked late. Again.
I also had flowers delivered to T today. Why? It's his birthday! YAY!!!

Friday: Celebrated T's birthday. Went to a movie. Mambo Italiano. VERY funny movie! Then we had dinner in this lovely restaurant.

Saturday: Wandered around the farmer's market and various Whyte Ave shops with T.

So, yeah. That's my week (in short).

Did you ever stop to think?

Got these from 365gay.com

-Can you cry under water?
-How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
-If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches?
-Since bread is square, why is sandwich meat round?
-Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
-Once you're in Heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
-Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
-What did cured ham actually have?
-How is it that we put a man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
-Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
-If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
-If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you?
-Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
-Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
-How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?
-Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
-If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does she call?

Friday. About friggen time.

Long week. Way too long. Need sleep. Need booze. :-)

Let's see. How about some good stuff?
Decided to get an XBox yesterday. I swear... That thing was designed by Microsoft for the sole purpose of creating insomnia.
The opening movie sequence to Halo was reason enough to buy the thing. Muchly cool.

Got to hang out with The Kid a couple of times. Let me tell you a little secret about this wonderful girl.
She's an angel. Pure and total angel. :-)

Joke time!!
There was a young man in the Air Force who was so well-endowed that it was bothering his knee. Three Air Force doctors and one Air Force nurse were in the operating room to remedy the situation. The first doctor said, "We'll just take a big hunk off the end." They discussed it and decided that would affect his sensitivity.

The second doctor said, "We'll just take a big hunk out of the middle of it." They discussed this, and decided it would change the texture and feel of it.

The third doctor said, "We'll just take a big hunk off the base of it." They discussed this, too, and agreed that it might give him erection problems.

The doctors heard a sniffling, and looked over at the nurse who had tears running down her cheeks. The nurse cried, "Can't we just make his legs longer?"
;-)

Time for the Friday Five!
This week's Friday Five brought to you by fridayfive.org (imagine that!)

1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?
Kinda sorta. Birth certificate says I'm William, but I use the shortened version of Bill.

2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
I wouldn't. I have no problems with it.

3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
Damned if I know.

4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
Not really.

5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com / triggur.org / astroexpert accurate? How or how isn't it?

kabalarians: The name of Bill has given you a strong desire for success and all the amenities of affluence. You pursue your undertakings on a grand scale, based on your business acumen and ability to visualize an overall plan. Your enthusiasm, aggressiveness, and salesmanship are often sufficient to bring about fulfillment of your ambitions. However, in the attempt to impress others with the scope of your success, you can over-extend your resources to the point that you have inadequate means to cover your basic expenses. There are times when you would be advised to start in a smaller way, and gradually reach your desired level of success through perseverance, patience, and attention to details. When things are going well, you have a generous, magnanimous nature, ready to offer support and assistance to others. When under stress, you can become overbearing and belittling in your attitude to others, and inclined to express sarcasm and temper. Should you become too inwardly focussed on your own world of personal relationships or material possessions, you could suffer disappointments with those close to you, unfulfilled ideals, or material losses.

For the most part, it's accurate. I just don't agree with the "when under stress, you can become overbearing and belittling in your attitude to others" bit.

triggur: Uhhh... Yeah. So bloody dumb that I'm not even going there!

astroexpert: Site down. Unable to comply.

Meh.

Work kinda sucked today. I wanna slap a few people right now.
*grumble* *bitch* *whine* *moan* *complain*


Anyways, time for the 365gay.com horoscope of the week!
Capricorn:Who knew that the Goat could be such a charmer? Groupies are lining up at your feet, dying for a chance to lick your toes. (I recommend charging $5 a head.) The Moon is giving you extra luster, making you camera ready. As you prepare for your next close-up, remember the little people who have made it all possible. ("I want to thank Mr. Hornblatt, my high school drama coach, even though he was always hitting on me.") You're receiving more attention than Anna Kournikova. Enjoy it.

WOW!!

(I tried to post this yesterday, but blogger wasn't working)


Ok, picture this. It's about 230pm, yesterday (Friday) afternoon. I'm at my desk, working. All of a sudden, one of the techs walks back into the warehouse with this folded/rolled paper in his arms. He walks up to me and tells me that I have just had a flower delivery. I'm totally shocked. This is a complete surprise. I thank him, and he goes back to the tech area. I open the flowers (a VERY beautiful boquet of pink roses!) and read the card. "All my love." My amazingly wonderful boyfriend has sent me flowers while he's away! WOW!! I have NEVER had anybody do anything so sweet and romantic for me in my entire life! I had this HUGE grin on my face for the rest of the day!

I still can't stop smiling over it! What T did was just SO sweet!
I love him a LOT. He is simply the greatest guy to ever walk the face of the earth. I am very lucky to have a boyfriend like him.

I was asked the typical questions like "Who are they from?", etc. One cashier asked "Is your boyfriend in the doghouse, or something?" ;-)

To my sweetie: Thank-you, so very, very, VERY much! I LOVE YOU!!



Time for The Friday Five.
1. What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most?
Dusting. I live in an 8th floor appartment, and the amount of dust that comes in this place is insane.

2. Are there any that you like or don't mind doing?
Cooking. Plus, I'll often get in these cleaning binge moods where I will all of a sudden start cleaning my room like there's no tomorrow.

3. Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it's needed?
I clean as needed or as I bloody-well feel like it.

4. Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?
I can be VERY picky about how stuff gets done. Ok, not picky. Anal retentive.

5. What was the last thing you cleaned?
Bathroom.

*****Sunday update*****
Went out and bought some silica gel from a craft store so that I can preserve my flowers.
How can I not? They're SO amazingly pretty!

He is leaving on a jet plane...

Well, on Tuesday morning at 430am, T flew off of a business trip. He phoned me later that day saying that Arizona was 104 degrees, and that he was hopped up on choco covered coffee beans. He returns late on Sunday.
Damn, I miss him. Lots.
While it's a good thing that I'll be able to greet him at the airport, it's absolutely horrible that he's gone.
Did I mention that I miss him?

T just called. All is well down there. He's done some shopping and what-not.
He's so far away right now. It sucks big time.
I miss him.
I think I'm going to go cry now.

Update o' plenty

Horoscope time! This horoscope brought to you by.... aw, to hell with it. Just look down at every other one. ;-)
Capricorn: As Jupiter, the justice planet, gives you a hug, the law will finally be in your favor. You're Steven Seagal winning his trial against the producer who sicked the Mob on him. You're Heidi Fleiss prevailing in her assault case against boyfriend Tom Sizemore. Things are going your way. With an increased need to expose the dark side, you'll be like Rosanna Arquette, filming her Searching for Debra Winger documentary. (If you want to learn what games are really played in Hollywood, take a peek.) Dare to speak up and speak out.

Most interesting.


If you could use a laugh, check this out. Gave me a good laugh. Mostly because it's how I'd act, too. (minus the flaming hair)


YAY! More holes in my head! Got another ear piercing on Friday. That makes two. Only four left to go. ;-)


I'm watching TNN right now. They're having another one of their Star Trek: TNG marathons. They've been advertising some new reality show called 'The Joe Schmo Show'. The basic premise behind this show is that this Joe guy doesn't even have a clue that this reality show isn't actually a reality show. He's on there thinking that he's with a bunch of people who are all competing for a $100,000 prize.
"I'll take 'Just how low can tv go' for $100, Alex."
