Perception vs. Reality

So nothing new for the most part. This week is going soooo slowly. Why can't it be Friday? It is in my mind. Perception is reality's equivalent in so many other things, why not this one? Ugh.

Interesting Fact #1:
Thanks to a keen observation, I have realized that I do indeed have the same luggage as April on Eastbound and Down. Fancy that.

Interesting Fact #2:
The Beatles played the Las Vegas Convention Center in 1964. Some 8,500 fans paid just $4 each for tickets. If only, right?

My workout today was alright. It seems to be getting harder though instead of easier and I don't like that one bit. If Missi wasn't doing it with me I don't think I'd be as dedicated. The rest of the week is going to be pretty boring I think. Not doing much until Friday. Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. Hurray (I almost typed 'hurry') for getting to listen to people say dumb stuff and then go "April Fool's". Take note that I will not be believing anything anyone has to say tomorrow so don't even try. Also, my birthday is fast approaching. Any suggestions on what to do?

T-minus 23 days and counting.

Coffee talk

I had a fantastic weekend. I went to Black Tie Dynasty's last concert which was very sad. We were on the front row which was good, but the people behind me were so drunk and kept running into me. That in turn pushed me into the stage and that was not very comfortable. I pushed them back and turned around to glare at them. There was also a gentleman who could NOT hold his liquor. He would lose his balance all of the time and fell towards me quite a few times. There were some worse incidents with this too. I almost lost my cool and turned around and punched him in the face. It was a good concert though. I just think that Rebecca and Junior enjoyed it a bit more because they were by people a bit more behaved. I still had fun though and am definitely glad I went. :) So I went to accounting just now and they were still covering the previous chapter so I just picked up my stuff and came back home. I have made a brilliant discovery though. There is a very strong correlation between the amount of caffeine I drink and accounting. Now I am sitting on the couch watching the news and drinking coffee. They're talking about bacon. I'm changing the channel. I don't have much planned for this week. Just a couple of movie nights I think. Friday I'm going to stay with Lolo (my aunt) I think and take her to her hair appointment Saturday before I have to go to mine. It's a long story, but she's had her license revoked and is fighting it, but in the meantime she can't drive. I'll probably be spending more time with her. Nothing else for the weekend is set yet. So I don't know what I'll be doing. My parents are going to Austin I think. It's about time to go back to class though. Laters.

My boys!

Liverpool 4-0 Real Madrid
Liverpool 4-1 Manchester United
Liverpool 5-0 Aston Villa

Liverpool vs. Fulham is coming up next week. This week world cup qualifying matches are going on. England has their next qualifier next weekend as well. Poor Gerrard is gonna be stretched. Speaking of which, England needs more Liverpool players. The only problem being that several of them are going to their respective home countries. Lame. Skrtel is actually playing for Ukraine I believe in the upcoming England qualifier.

A quote that reflects my feelings to the tee:
"It was fantastic to score three goals (against Villa) but more importantly the win kept the momentum going and meant we stayed on United's shoulders. Chelsea lost as well so it was a fantastic weekend to be a Liverpool player."

Anyway, enough about football. I'm sure no one cares anyway. My allergies are terrible today. Stupid rain and clouds and wind and stuff. I'm watching a show where this crew stole this guy's car with his wife's help and they re-do it all the while pretending that it was stolen. The whole idea bothers me. First off, if I had a car like that that I loved, I would not be happy to learn that it was a prank and my spouse lied to me. Second, I would never do that to someone else because I know how I would feel. Third, I wouldn't want other people working on my car without my direct supervision. That idea would really bother me. And what if I didn't like the changes they made? No, it's just a bad idea overall. This is warning for the future; no one ever do that to me. I would be pissed. This morning I did this stupid advanced yoga for an hour and a half. My balance has declined over the past two years and I fell over several times. I'm sure it would humorous to watch. So Nate, Rebecca, and myself are going to dinner and to see a movie tonight. I was not given an option out. =P Then it's back to the apartment to clean because I desperately need to. Off to shower and then to work.

Becca boo is back!

Rebecca is back from Spring Break!!! Woo! I have someone other than my cat to talk to. :) My stomach hurts from laughing so hard. Check this video out:



Fast forward to about 1:03. There you will find the single greatest moment I have seen on TV in a long time.

New word I made up: binocuscopes (binoculars + telescopes) For some reason I was thinking of binoculars and it just came out binocuscopes. I think some wires in my brain got mixed up. My workout with Missi was killer. We did synergistics today and I am dead. It took me a couple of minutes to make it up the stairs to the apartment. Lol. I had to go lay on the floor in Rebecca's room for a couple of minutes to regain the strength to move. I'm kind of excited about the rain that's supposed to come in. I wish it were greener here. I need to move to Washington. I have something to post, but it's at work so I'll have to post it tomorrow.

Before school

Ugh. This is going to be a quick post before class. I completely agree with how shitty it is when you try to do the right thing and can't. I set my alarm for 6 this morning so I could make it to my 8 am class on time. When I woke up and looked at my alarm clock, guess what time it was...8:05. Fantastic. I'm lucky I woke up when I did so I don't miss my other classes. It just frustrates me.

Isn't it Thursday already?? I need a remote to life.

Big yellow joint

I had a great time this past weekend. It's one of those things you wish didn't have to end. Once I got back I went and picked up Phoenix from the house and brought her up to the apartment. The parents are gone for the week and I didn't want to leave her alone. So now she's curled up on my bed next to me. It's adorable. I loved Where the Wild Things Are as a kid. I'm excited to see it made into a movie. I've been an uber-nerd today. I have a project I'm going to work on. I have several actually, but this is one of them. Here is my list of supplies. See if you can guess what I'm constructing.

-7555 timer chip
-CD4017 counter chip
-47 microfarad, 16 v electrolytic cap
-.22 uF cap
-small signal diodes
-leds
-2N3904 NPN transistor
-proto board
-9v battery snap
-180k, 47k, 330 ohm resistors

Why oh why will my eyes not stop itching? I hate having allergies. I need to speak with my doctor about this. Tomorrow night there's a softball game for work so I'll probably go to that. Maybe bowling after or something. I'm not sure. Anyway, I have stayed up too late as it is. Off to bed. For in dreams, we enter a world that is entirely our own.
