One hell of a week

And it ain't over yet sister

Well Monday I realize the local JC hasn't told me when I can register yet but they haven't contacted me about registering. So after trying to call multiple times I get the Dean of Admissions and he says come down to work it out but we will work it out. I knew it would be a madhouse and I have a ton of stuff to buy for UMCOR So I go and oh 2-3 hours later all is supposedly good and I am setup to take a friggin English comp exam cos I guess my bachelors degree just isn't good enough for them. Prior to that I had been to the church, to the bank and basically sat on my hands while the bank took 20 minutes to find out they could not get me a Visa check card which is the EXACT opposite of what they told the church. Then I had a client whose computer I was bummed to find out was so hosed that there wasn't much I could do besides make it a bit more stable so they could reload it. The I went to the college. Then I started my shopping spree. I started at a Walmart across town and started buying the items for what I hoped would be 400 healthkits for UMCOR. The kit consists of:
" 1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27", No kitchen towels)
" 1 washcloth
" 1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
" 1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
" 1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
" 1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, No child-size brushes)
" 1 large tube of toothpaste (expiration date must be 6 months or longer
" 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages

and we need all BUT the toothbrushes. Between Monday and Thursday I went to 4 walmarts in 2 states and 3 counties at least twice each and at least 2 of them 3 times. I went countless dollar stores, Kmarts, drugstores and grocery stores trying to fill the list. The clippers and combs were the hardest part.

Tuesday I went to the college, took the test and started shopping again until I got a call from a good client. So I spent a total of 4 hours with him before some more shopping and finally getting home. Yes I skipped the FSG meeting It was just too much.

Wed back to the college the freakin registrar says I cant register AFTER I WAITED IN LINE OVER AN HOUR!!!!! If I had known I would have seen the Dean of Admissions in the first 10 min I was there. He straightens it out and I HAD TO WAIT AGAIN!! for the registrar I guess the Dean couldn't register me. So she registered me and I got all that done then MORE SHOPPING!!!!!!! At this point I had about 200 of everything except the combs, handtowels and clippers. I am sick of shopping so people in my Wed night Bible Study decided to go shop. One found clippers in I swear the only store in town I had not been too (and it was cash only). 2 more went to Sam's Club to get the hand towels, I knew they were cheaper there but I don't have Discover and couldn't afford the cash. I stayed at church with 3 others and sorted the combs since the packs I bought came with 2 unusable combs in each pack. While shopping Wed I get a call from an irate customer who thinks I did not fix his PC, well I did but in saving the OS it did lose some functionality since his wife did not want it formatted. I calmed him down let him know I would take care of it, scheduled time to pick it up Wed. After church I pretty much finished the shopping EXCEPT those pesky combs. Oh yeah and I ran the choir rehearsal in there too.

Thursday was an easy day compared to Wed. I got up and went to WW on the way I stopped at Walmart and they had refilled the combs I had previously pillaged so I pillaged again. Went to WW weighed in I am just 2 weeks from lifetime. WOOHOO!!!! Go out to clients house in BFE and wife is not home, so I wait, still not home. I called him, he had her call me and she said she will be back in about an hour and a half. I turn around and go to the church drop off the rest of the goods give everything one last once over. I could not think of ANYTHING else to do to prepare SO I go out to lunch. I ate very slowly then drove BACK out to BFE she is still not there. I had some Bible study to catch up on so I sat and read. 45 min later STILL not there. I really didn't want to make a 3rd trip out. So I call her she says she is 10 min away so I wait. She finally showed up I grabbed the PC and left. Got home and thankfully it was a beauty to reload it all went perfect! Great!!

Fri I SLEPT IN!!!!!!!!! I got to sleep till 9 and a lil after 10 I called the client, took my time dropped off the PC, went to WALMART (I swear they should know me by now) bought me jeans that fit. WOOHOO!!!!! Drove to base did my shoppin at the Com-misery and came home. I was home by 2 and I did jack the rest of the day, some Bible study some posting but just relaxed.

Tomorrow I have to getup at 6 and be at church at 7:45 to make the kits. Then I have to finish my Bible Study before class Sun evenin. It is still all a lil crazy but it could be worse :)

I am looking for the quote but Michael Brown Director of FEMA gave a run down of why he is qualified by listing the disasters that have occured since he entered the office.

Woohoo this yahoo got some great on the job training. One thing he listed was the California Wildfires. I assume he meant the wildfires of October 2003. Lives were lost and acres burned while FEMA sat with its collective head up its ass and made the US Marines at Camp Pendleton and USMCAS Mirramar PROVE they were capable of helping in the aerial firefight. I mean their experience putting out fires on their bases means nothing. They also took their sweet ass time getting resources into the area from all over the state and country. Not to mention the fact that they would not let anyone fly after dusk even though there were still 2 hours of light in the sky AND some of the aircraft was designed to fly at night. Yeah that lil bit on his resume makes me fucking ecstatic and feeling so safe that he is the head of FEMA. oh yeah I forgot to add that people died during that fire because they called for help and they were told to sit tight no reason to evac or help is on the way when the help never came or it was too late, sound familiar? What a fucking joke

yeah I am a news whore I watch it constantly and this situation hasnt changed that. Why does this hurricane seem to have such a slow relief effort? Last year it seemed like it was practically instantaneous but these people now aren't getting much. why are the churches the first to respond? What is going on? Where is our government? I mean I know it is bad but is it sooooo bad that there is nothing our government can do? I mean we were able to drop food on bombed out cities in WWII why cant we drop MREs on people on rooftops? Why arent these centers getting help? Where is their relief?

I wonder what the long lasting affects of this will be on our nation and government. Will Bush lose what lil support he has left as he takes the blame for yet another fuck up? He will try to push it off but I see it as a chain of command and he is at the top. Will the Republican party suffer? Are we going t go back to a Democrat majority. In the past we have done well with that in the past.

Good news I heard they are doing chopper drops of fod and water in New Orleans. About freakin time. Also good to hear most of the looting is people who are getting what they need to survive. Bad news is thousands who were turned away from the superdome are at the convention center. There is no relief or support there and officials wont go there because they are outnumbered. At least they got food and water drops but that is bullshit, they are outnumbered. Get the people on buses make sure you have enough and then give them stuff once they are onboard.

Hurricane

Things are crazy. The news from New Orleans is scary but I know that it is just a few being evil bastards. the majority are decent peple who just need help. I wish there is more I could do to help. I am trying to be a major player in my church with getting together flood buckets for UMCOR.org Hopefully I can get some goods donated too but I am sure the local businesses will be getting hit by alot. We will try to get our buckets together and delivered to another church who will deliver them to the distribution center in Lousiana.

Thankfully it sounds like everyone I know seems to have faired well. There is one person on the website I hang out on has yet to be heard from. We hope and pray they are ok.

I hope the government is really helping these people as much as they can. I just dont beleive it when I see all these people stranded in New Orleans. It sounds like even in Mississippi and Alabama things arent really happening. Of course with all of the violence I am not inclined to want to help them either.

A big part of me wonders if the Levy system was really as good as it should have been. I mean they were ready for a Cat 3 but it is the Gulf. Why didnt they have contigency plans? What is going on there? Why the hell are we seeing all of thee damn press conferences and no action? Is this another one of those situations where the media is twisting things and only showing us the worst possible OR is nothing really happening? Why are news crews giving out water? These poor people dying and dehydrated when they are surrounded by water. It is terrible and scary I just feel fr them and wish I could do more

Gas

WTF is wrong with people. Yesterday we had a run on gas here. People fillin up who have no reason. Shit there was a disaster we know fuel will go up but if we have a fuckin run on gas it is going to make it shoot higher. Gas went up from 2.45-2.50 to 3.29+ overnight. It is ridiculous this is not what we need right now.

It is about time

Thunder has been ringing through here for over an hour. There is a severe storm a few miles away. we have rain now so it doesnt seem so pointless to me. Weather in the South confuses and befuddles me. It rains when the sun is shining. Lightning is almost a nightly occurence lately but no rain. The rain is great as long as we get enough to bring down the temp otherwise it just adds to the humidity and gets hotter

Another cool thing about GA. Lightning bugs. They kick ass. I saw my first ones last week, it never occured to me to look for them. It is frickin rad. I need to hang out with some of my friends kids and go catch them with them. All my friends (who were with me when I saw them) thought it was hilarious. I honestly didnt think they really existed. I thought it was just something cool that Disney put in movies and rides. Is my californian shinin through?

WTF am I old?

ok I know damn good and well I am not young and spry or whatever. But I am not old. I am 26 for cryin out loud. well one of hubbs work buddies was talking to me about My Space yesterday and looked very confused when I knew what it was. I AM 26!!! NOT 95!!!! I mean shit Friedster came out when I was in college and I only graduated 4 years ago.

hmmm it is 11:30 I should try and get some sleep. I wonder what my aversion to sleep has been lately. I am tired I took my meds to help me sleep about 2 hours ago but I dont want to go to bed. I think it is just the fact that I am so accustomed to staying up. I should go curl up with hubbs and watch a movie. I just dont know. ugh

myspace

Recently someone from the past added me as a friend on here so i started looking again for old friends or just people I knew. i cant beleive how many people I found. Somedays it makes me wish I have done something cool and interesting with my life to tell people. But no I had alot of fun after high school but nothing note worthy. As I go through the pics of people I think it is amazing how little somethings have changed. I need to post some new pics of myself now that I am that much closer to the weight I was back in the day. It also surprise me how many people still live so close to Ontario. In some ways I am jealous. I mean if after graduating 7-10 years ago they still have something there to go back to. Not me. I have Ruben but that is it. I am thinking I would like to see many of them again, may even try to find a way back for the 10year. We shall see. I thank God I have my husband and I love my mobile life. Someday I am sure I will grow tired of it but for now may the Navy send us to some kickass places.

How sad and pathetic. I admin a little bulletin board of about 100 people. Well I have a job this morning in a little over an hour so I should not really be nosing around on there. Well the host of the site in their infinite crappiness is down so we are down. I have no clue what to do with myself. hmmmm maybe I should go eat breakfast and watch the news. Then I will have something to talk about on here

Yesterday I went shopping and I am happy to say the 80s are alive and well in Augusta, GA. Goodness I saw alot of people wearing crap I wouldnt have been caught dead in, in the 80s. Tight ass jeans, bangle earrings, cock-eyed pony tail on the top of the head. It was damn frightening. I bet these girls thought they were being hip too. gag I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

Harry Potter

Yup I too have an opinion on Harry Potter. Well not really just simply that a book that has kids lining up at bookstores at midnight like it is the hottest movie is not all bad. The books are long books and I know when I was 12 I wouldnt have ever read them. Shit if a person raises their kid correctly I am sure they can see the diference between right and wrong and that these books are fantasy just like the fantasies these kids may have in their head about the school being closed for a snow day in Southern California or having a teacher never give homework.

My Big rant is these MORONS who are burning the books. First of all, you dont BURN BOOKS!! It is wrong, Hitler burned books and they burned books at schools in the 50s, like Catcher in the Rye and Tom Sawyer. Many classics have been burned. My biggest annoyance of the burning of books is that quite simply YOU HAVE TO BUY THE BOOK to burn it. Doesn't that just help the popularity of the book because sales are up and put money in the pocket of the writer and the stores selling it? Wouldn't it be quite a bit more effective to boycott the books and the stores that sell them? or the publisher? Goodness I just dont get what some people will do. I wish that when I see these stories someone will run through the picture with a very large very free stick and beat some sense into these morons.

Broke down and bought some office stuff today. Pretty much blew what little profits I have had in the last week BUT I needed a paper shredder, a fax (printer/copier) and a paper shredder. Business is good. I am learning quickly on how to be better at it. Got a new setup at my desk. I think I will like it, now I just need to see if I can get my wireless KB and mouse to work on a KVM.

Grandma sends me books

Ok so I love to read it is an addiction my entire family has. So when Grandma started sending me books now that I am across the country I was ecstatic. Well I forgot one thing, mom and grandma both LOVE Romance novels. So I am getting through the first one and I start noticing the story (which was good) started to get deeper and deeper into the relationship and using words like manhood and member. Oh goodness thankfully there was a plot to this book and it was good, I think it is called No Place Like Home. It actually made me tear up at the end. But damn when your grandmother writes Romance Novels as a hobby dont forget those are the kinds of books she will send you. I think I will send her back a list of how I feel about the books when I send them back so she knows not to waste her money on sending me stuff that is too borderline housewife porn. Thanks Grams

On another note you should also never send your pastor and email without checking out the email address it is coming from first. oh yeah I realized hours later I had sent my pastor and email about baptism with the email addy ***@damnthem.com Hubbs is having a field day with that one

Well so far so good. The winds are picking up and we can see the outer part of the storm moving closer and closer to us. I love the Weather Channel. Watching those guys getting beat up in the wind and telling people not to do this themselves. Like they are more safe than any other moron who would got out in a storm. It is just crazy. It wasnt as good as some of the ones I watched come ashore last year but still damn funny nonetheless. No I am not some heartless neanderthal that revels in the devestation but if somebody is going to put themself in harms way for the sake of "news" damn straight I am going to watch. It is good entertainment. Especially when it is live and you get to see all the screwups and flubs. An hour later they will re-air it all again but it will be nicely edited so no one can tell.

ok The first storm has passed and it was pretty nasty, rain sideways and all and very little visibility lots of kick ass lightning though. We shall see what tomorrow and Dennis brings

yet another client

ok I am testing another client this one is free not as cool as blogjet but $0 vs $40 makes it an easy choice

ETA woohoo it worked we have a winner. :)

Testing BlogJet

ok lets see if I like this and if it works

 

The storm is definetly getting worse.  It is hilarious because the worse it gets the more people I see.  I dont know why this has amused me for so long maybe I am just lame.  That is ok I can deal with being lame.  I actually took a night I would normally spend playing my latest game, since I dont get to play much lately and spent the evening backing up files and watching this cam.  Damn you Noelle for telling me about it.  This is reality TV though and not that BS stuff you see on TV.  This is real and I love it.  it is ok I know it is dumb.  It just makes me wonder, I am terrified of Hurricanes.  I am from California and I will take an earthquake anyday over a hurricane or a tornado.  I dont care that you get warned in advance.  An earthquake is 6 seconds on a rollercoaster, they are rarer than you think and unless it is a 5.5 or higher you can barely feel it outside the epicenter.  I think that is why I am afraid of hurricanes they last days and it is like slow moving evil you just sit there and watch it coming towards you helpless.  As far as tornadoes yeah they are there then they end but shit you can lose your house and your neighbor doesnt.  In California be it earhtquake, fir or landslide chances are if you got fucked you arent alone.  Well misery does love company.

It is almost midnight and I just saw 3 kids on bikes go by.  Hello parents Hurricane and IT IS MIDNIGHT!!!  Shit it still makes me want to go to Key West.  I want to have a hurricane party.  Of course with the way this year has been going I am sure one will come up the Eastern Seaboard and I will feel more of what we will get this time.

oh dammit everytime I hit enter it posts hmmmm wonder if I can fix that. ok back to this great cam I have been watching for hours. oh yeah it is so great. the lights are back on and of course the people i was listening to have run away. Dang there are alot of people out. So this is my first hurricane, thankfully we dont live on the coast and it isnt coming up the Eastern Seaboard but it is my first hurricane none the less. Damn I wish I could find a better client too. ok continuing that search I want to be able to enter decent page breaks

Shweet it worked so now I can drone on and on like I know what I am talking about. :)

ok I am testing out my client is this working? It used to be very straight forward and dumb proof so I am checking

damn it has been forever

Welll I am sitting here being a freak watching a live webcam on Key West as a hurricane approaches, yes it is like a train wreck. I figured I would post didnt realize it has been ages since I have.

Well damnit I cant type and watch the picture that is no fun

Ok well since April yeah life is good. We like it here in Augusta even though it can be hot as sin, not hotter than hell cos well I hear that is a dry heat but the nasty sticky sinful fucked your brains out kind of sin. Yeah it is a bit gross :P

Business is good, well good enough.

So yeah I am watching this cam at http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/live-duval-cam.htm and it is sweet it has sound and shit. I cannot beleive that a cat4 (well now cat3) hurricane is heading towards these people and they are out drinking. they are walking around with flashlights the cops are all holed up you can see the wind is blowing and I cant see them but it sounds like they convinced the bar to open outside of the view of this cam. Everything is all boarded up.

We arent expecting much here just rain. Of course the farther west this thing goes the farther it will be from even getting anywhere near us. We shall see

ok that is all for today I am in search of a blogging client so I dont have to log in to do this shit, then maybe someday people will think I am cool and my blog will be on the news like I know what the fuck I am talking about.

My new computer

Is Friggin shweet. Well it looks sweet at least and it is too.
Hubbs fried his processor which is quite impressive especially considering all he did was flash the BIOS and since I own a business I get a new computer and we have a trickle down. He gets my old one and i get his old one for work stuff too (yes I need at least 2 computers one for working on other peoples virus infected machines and one that works right). So it all works out cos my old beater computer gave up the ghost after this move (Toy was a ripe old 7 years old).
So I got one of those new 64bit Athlons and the A8N SLI board from ASUS which is like the top of the line, one of their newest. An SATA HDD which is also new technology and a PCI-Express video card also new. It is sweet. I am never one to get the new stuff. I actually have a wireless USB network adapter that is not compatible with this new board. Which kind of sucks but I think it is awesome cos I have never had something like that happen before, usually my computer is too old. When I got the new drives I made sure they were black and put them in my old black mod case and as luck would have it the mobo is black too. I through in my blue LED fans and hooked up some other lights and I have to say besides having the kickass gaming system I now also have a pretty sweet vanity mod compter. Hubbs is jealous.
Total deal:
Mobo: Asus A8N
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
CD/DVD: Lite-on Dual Layer DVDRW
HDD: SATA Maxtor 7200RPM 160GB
IDE Maxtor 40GB
IDE WD 80GB
PowerColor ATI Radeon X600 w/256MB

too late again

Yup once again I am up to late. I told hubbs about 2 hours ago I would be in bed in a few minutes now he will be up in 3 hours and I am not even there yet. Elsa is curled up under my desk sound asleep on an old shirt. Usually she is giving me dirty looks long before now. I have a meeting in the morning I REALLY need to be awake for as it is one of the advertising people I am using. I am just not ready to sleep. Dam Myspace and reuniting me with an old bud. I am happy to say she is getting married after being with the same man for 8 years. I admit at first I was worried but they were in school then now they are older and wiser and more power to them, they are obviously great for eachother. ok off to sleep with me really. I will need to get me some Dew in the morning just to wake up. Of course the DP for dinner is probably why I am still up at this hour. I had such a long day today too. Well night time to wake up Elsa and get the evil doggy eye for disturbing her I bet she will be so pissed she will either ignore me and go straight in her crate or do a great big F-U and curlup in the middle of the bed and refuse to move. Good thing she doesnt realive she only weighs 25lbs so I can move her.

I have been busy. Last week hubbs updated his BIOS and managed to fry his processor. Don't know how he did it but it is a special kind of gift he has. So we took some spare parts and built him a new computer.
I have had 3 clients this week. Which is great. But with that cane the realization that I need a second computer and not just a dual boot. So I am getting a kick ass schweet system that should last me awhile and hubs is getting mine and I get the crap he built as my toy. It is still better than my old toy that fried in the move.
Last Saturday we drove into Atlanta to check out the Auto Show. It was ok not near as cool as LA's but still good. We were able to narrow the field of new vehicles down to 3 or 4 SUVs. The most likely winner will be an Element. I know they are ugly as sin but hear me out they are VERY practical. they are big and romy outside without being a monstrosity and the inside is all rubber so I do not have to worry about dog hair. Also the rear seats old up int the walls so there is plenty of space to haul lumber and stuff for the house.
So yeah move to Georgia and get a truck the only question is where do you put the gunrack in a civic.
I started looking around on Friendster and MySpace more today. I cannot beleive how many people I found that i know. Old roommates, a boyfriend from high school and lots of other people. That is cool I hope to be able to get in touch with some people since I have obvioously sucked at it my whole life. :)
Now if only I can get a feed into there so I dont have to always repost this shit, we shall see.

Today we took our first trip into Charleston. Put up the new gate in the kitchen with the dining table chairs pressed up against it. Right after we left Hubbs realized he forgot the directions. It was his job to find out how to get there this time. We had not been gone 20 minutes and both dogs had made it out of the kitchen. So we opened the gate and left again and hoped for the best. Before we could see the city we stopped at the Naval Base and got hubbs some uniform stuff since it is the closest base to us. Then we wereoff. Charleston is nice. We went to Margaritaville, got me another Tshirt for my collection. There was no cafe so we walked and stopped at the first place that smelled good. It turned out to be greek and it was Delish. Then we walked around and splurged on a Carriage tour. That was fun and very worth the money. We saw the Waterfront area and some beautiful homes. We also saw some gorgeous churces and old graveyards. We will be going back at some point probably multiple times. I want to spend a few days there and we may take the inlaws when they come see us in a few months.
When we returned home the dogs had been fairly good. Only one mess to clean up and one torn paper (I had picked up EVERYTHING or so I thought). they got hubbs uniform bag and gnawed on his hat but no real damage. They were very glad to see us home.

Today I got my first call on Rent-A-Geek. That was nice. Didnt get the customer but that is ok. I know the advertising is working.

Tomorrow I am getting my day at the spa. Hubbs got it for me for our 1 year anniversary. So tomorrow I will have a massage, manicure and pedicure. Thursday I leave for California to go see dad and some cousins. We are taking our 9th annual father daughter ski trip. They dont know I cut my hair up to my shoulders or that I lost 20 lbs it will be great. My goal for my long weekend is to not gain any weight while I am gone, it will e hard but I am up to the task :)

Well the business is ready to go. I just need to get the tools together to actually work but I am officially in business in the state of Georgia. I need to get a client and a price structure and once I get going I can get start spening some money to get us off the ground.

I think I royally screwed up with Legion. I accidently sent the whole group an email saying I am sick of them. When in truth I am just sick of the childish way they act when they get together. It pisses me off, they can be so childish. It doesnt help that I am in a terrible mood and I bet that is why I was so vocal about my anger. It is probably hormones I just want to punch a freakin wall. Nothing seems to make me happy at the moment not my dogs or my husband or the shows I watch on Tuesdays. I am screaming inside. I bet it is a mixture of hormones (my first real menses in 4 or 5 years) and I am getting off my anti-depressants. Ugh I hate it when I am like this. But he tis my life. I hope I manage to get off these drugs and dont need to stay on them. I want to be normal again, but then again I was doing really well on the Lexapro except that my moods were so mellow I was barely even excited when hubbs came home. I hope I start to have emotions again even if PMS does affect me more.

Ugh I am frustrated as all hell right now. I just want to work. I miss my old job. I liked seeing people everyday. I miss it I am done with my "vacation" but unfortunately I will be like this awhile longer.

Here is my rant:
Ugh I am soooo very frustrated. I am looking for work although I joke about it I tend to look for work everyday. If I am not looking I am trying to come up with new avenues. I am highly skilled and I have experience. I am even willing to take less than half I am accustomed to as I know I am no longer in San diego even though I know in San Diego I was grossly underpaid for my skillset. I am not asking much I am asking for more than I make on unemployment. So far I have not found ANYTHING in the field I am licsensed in. I did get one jaw drop when I laughed at how much I could have gotten at a job (it wasnt an interview) because it was less than my unemployment. Today some "manager" at a computer store who needed techs told me it was a longshot since I dont have certifications. Certifications in my mind are for people who dont have experience. In truth I hav some very poignant thoughts about people who have certs but I have no desire to offend anyone at this point. Techs look at my resume and say no certs and Finance people look at my resume and say she is a tech. Freakin A I know more about both than most people AND I am willing to pay my dues to a extent. grrrrrr I am just frustrated I know no one out here and have no clue how they hire since nothing I have done warrants an interview. Well except from the company that wanted me to sign a contract and fax them my SS card without speaking to me or answering my questions. Then when I get someone to answer them HE HASNT EVEN SEEN MY RESUME!!!!!!
*sob* I want to work I am good at what I do. Sh.it webby has never met me and she is a days drive away and she will hire me. Why cant these morons give me a chance. I feel like I am right back where I was 2 years ago when I got denied a good job because they thought I may not be able to handle a large monitor. AHHHH!!!!!
ok sorry /rantoff

Man my head hurts today. I swear my dog is going to give me a complex she is so sweet and cute and well the definition of the mellow dog but man she always looks sad. I guess that is the beagle in her. I love her she is freakin adorable I would love to get trained with her so she can be a therapy dog. That would just be awesome. ugh my head really hurts no more to write tonight.
