so freaking tired and cranky this morning.  More then normal.  I am wondering if I can talk Jackie into taking at least Carson to work with her this afternoon?  She works until 4 pm so I am hoping she can.  I was in bed at 6:30 last night.  I know Masters of Illusion was on, but I just didn’t care about anything.  I still don’t today either.

It is election day today here for Mayor.  I am probably not going to vote mostly because I don’t care.  I don’t need elected officials telling me that life sucks.  Hell, I already know that.  I am not dumb.

Curly had the one thing.  Now I have the 3 things.  Yes, 3 tech things I could never live without.  And here they are in random order. Mostly because they are all of equal importance;

1. 1- My laptop
2. 2- Digital Camera
3. 3- My IPod

These are things that I would go through withdrawal if I didn’t have them or couldn’t use them.

I just started to listen to a new audio book.  I am listening to Street Gang by Michael Davis.  It is the story of Sesame Street. It talks about the behind the scene story on Sesame Street and Jim Henson.   It is also a short history on the creation of children’s television of the Howdy Doody, Captain Kangaroo, Ding Dong School, Electric Company and all the other classic children’s educational TV shows.

When I was performing magic and on TV every Saturday morning, this is how I wanted the show to be.  Unfortunately I didn’t have the time or financing to do it.  But would be fun to recreate it. 

So far I highly recommend this either as an audio book or check it out at your library.

This is so cool….I want one

Well, back to the real world today.  Today starts an 8 day stretch.  My sinuses still feel like crap, but what you gonna do?  Today going to bust ass to get stuff cleaned up before the rush of stuff comes back tonight.  Hopefully everything got done last night and we can just start on room’s linen.

Time for me to get ready for work.  Fill you in later on what went on.

Ok, I just found the coolest podcast and web site for backing up your digital life.  The first podcast is real good.  It is hosted by Scott Bourne and co-hosted by Andy Inhatko.

Podcast site

My sinuses have totally exploded.  I am so feeling crapy too.  I am doing wash right now and watching Doughnut Paradises on Travel Channel. 

I have lost another 5 pounds.  I started at 232 pounds, I lost 7 pounds and now lost 5 pounds.  I am 220 pounds.  I have 35 pounds left to loose.

I am watching Buck Rogers on DVD. It was a rough day at work.  Having a night to myself.  Just not in a mood to be around people.  I also shut off my phone.  I am not in the mood to deal with anyone.

So, this has been a busy few days at work.  I am tired and drained.  I still have today and two more before my days off.  My plan of attack today is as follows; At work; kick ass on table clothes, at home; do nothing.  Although I will probably be on line and watching DVDs because there is nothing else on to watch today.  Par for the course, it is the weekend after all.

I have been reorganizing and streamlining my digital life.  I have decided to get rid of all extra crap online that I am not using.  Like test blogs, Facebook, Flickr and other photo places.  I am going to mostly use Windows Live stuff and my main charter email as my main stuff on the web.  With Windows Live I am using photos, skydrive, and basically using those as my online back up for if stuffs go bad (parish the thought) with my laptop.  I wish I could get rid of my Google account but I use Google reader every day.  So now I only have my Google account and my charter email.

So that is what is going on lately with me.  I am off on Wednesday and Thursday this week.  I can’t wait till 2pm on Tuesday.

   I was thinking today that sense it is my mom's birthday. That it isn't how old you are instead it is how old you feel you are.  My mom is 60 and people say she doesn't look old enough to have a son that is 40 years old.  I am the oldest of three kids.

I am so trying to understand why I work with a bunch of kids when the age is adult? Oh, well, time for me to go to bed. Busy day tomorrow. Mostly check outs and my mothers birthday she is 60 tomorrow. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be an adult or a supervisor.

So, today is Jackie's surgery.  At least well I wait I will be able to catch up on podcasts and maybe a nap.  I am not sure how long I will be at the hospital today?  Maybe just enough to make sure she is settled and relaxed and not in pain.  I am sure lots of people will be in and out all the next couple days.  Well, time to wake up jackie and get her going.  Parents come at 5am to pick us up.

Just testing

Well, another Monday.  I am just not into it today.  I am going to bust ass but I am going to probably stay a bit on the quiet side today.  Just one of those days.  I hope it doesn't rain until I get home today from work.

I am so tired this morning.  Today is day 5 of 8.  When I get home from work today, my plan is to do nothing.  Maybe reorganize Jackie's external hard drive.  I also want to make a smart playlist for my Old-time radio shows.  So please email me instead of calling me.  Thanks.

I am a big audio book fan.  Ipod + Audible = fun.  I love Audible.com and I am currently listening to Reclaiming History. it is a story of JFK assignation and what this author believes.  Check it out.  It is long listen, but good.  Also I have become addicted to P.G. Wodehouse, Jeeves series of books. 

Tomorrow or Sunday I get my renewal for my two credits and I can get two new books.  I am getting another Jeeves book and maybe another Star Wars book.  I am a huge Star Wars fan.

I am going to put the book module on the side bar of the blog so that you can see what I am currently listening to.  I listen on the bus ride home from work or before bed or if nothing good on TV.  If you have any book suggestions from audible or you listen to audible books feel free to leave comments of what books you listen to.

Evening all,

I am in a veggie state.  I am watching Scooby-Doo.  The dogs have been fed and now they have to be taken outside.  I hear Carson scraping at the back door.  I wish he could wait until Jackie gets home.  I am so tired of bending over for them.  Seems like they take control more then we do.  That is why I love my cat so much.  She is my princess.

  I guess parts of it was a rough day at work.  I started working at 3am-11:30am and I guess I am still a bit tired.  We have WIAA Track and field here in town and we have a wedding on Saturday night.  So it is going to be a real busy weekend.  I am hoping that after this week that it slows down and I may be able to take a couple vacation days.

  I guess I should take the dogs out to go potty. Brb.......Ok, so just Carson wanted to go out.  This is going to be my place to share stuff with you, videos, pictures and other thoughts.  Well, that is it for now.

Chat later,

Richard
