I'm getting ready to give myself a pedicure.

I'm working on my soc paper. I'm about 30% done (somehow that sounds less depressing than "I have 70% left to go").

I have to (respectfully, of course) disagree with that statement, for obvious reasons. If Tori doesn't care whether or not we hear it, why waste her time making and promoting the record? Not to mention touring.

I just updated the song on my myspace page. I'll probably rotate through of the artists that are my "friends".

I meant we, as in me and you.

And she tours because that's where she makes her money. Hardly any of her income will come from the record release. If you really want to respect her and help her out, then go to one of the shows. In that regard, the record is more promotion of the tour.

Oh, okay, that makes more sense


Yeah. I wrote a paper once in support of illegal downloading and my main argument was that artists make very little money off of their albums. The majority comes from touring and merchandise.

Trust me, I would love to help Tori out by going to one of her concerts, but so far, Omaha and Kansas City aren't on the list of expected tour stops. If she does come to either one of those places, I would be more than happy to buy tickets to go see her (preferably in Omaha). But I can't drive all the way to Denver or Minneapolis just for a concert. I'm not going to do that, it's just crazy and would cost way too much.

burping up a storm

I'm very close to being done with the first draft of my soc paper!! Once I'm done with this paper, I'll be able to pretty much coast through the remaining week of school.

I have some problem with this forum, I can't get into the main screen like general chat and music chat, so it pissed me off, I guess some of you have the same problem like me.............looking for a littttttttttttttle hope, really!

I'm feeling great today, I guess probably it's the best day that I have in april..................april sucks

Yep, we all are running into the same problem. It's slowed several of us down and completely stopped a few people from posting altogether.

The only positive note is that it seems to have completely stopped the SPAM. Evidently, it's just too hard for the spammer to figure out a way to work around the problem.

I'm trying to work with some of the others to get them back "online" here.

More eating lunch. I've got a conference call this afternoon that I have to run (weekly Monday call). Fun stuff.

I guess that I ought to check GS forum and see if there's any SPAM buildup.

i just visited my grandma who is deteriorating mentally. she is very unclear. she has good times though. this wasn't one of them. sad.

and i have router problems. fuck internet.

Aw... none of my older relatives have had mental deterioration, I really hope that it doesn't happen.
Man, overall I have good genetics... I'd best not screw it up.

We went out and ate at Hot Wok for dinner and then went over to the grocery store to buy groceries.

My wife went in for jury duty, but got them to reschedule her because the woman that she works with is out of town due to the death of her mother. This was a hardship case, as my wife is the only one left to manage those buildings.

ah who cares? i'll be dead by fifty anyway.

I hope not.

I'm just really annoyed right now, the Tori Amos Big Wheel video was removed from Youtube... I mean that's stupid, it was good publicity.

Eating lunch and bitching about the SPAM on this board.

omg I love lunch


I am doing my History homework that I was supposed to do last night and I'm supposed to hand in by the end of the da y...

hating my sister
hating my life

Just got back from Soc of the Holocaust where I handed in my paper that I finished approximately an hour ago.

We went out to Fry's to pick up some stuff. We ate at Mimi's Cafe, which just opened off of Mo-Pac freeway. Mo-Pac is named so because the Missouri Pacific train line runs down the middle of the freeway.

I had crab cake dinner. Not as good as authentic Maryland Crab Cakes, but pretty good, nevertheless.

Eating lunch and enjoying the fully functional LP Forum.

Watching Roseanne and just about to go to Wal-Mart

Listening to the fray..
listening to my mom telling me to get off.

get off where......

k, that was dirty of mind.

i'm listening to bubblegum punk of the donnas.
and kind of enjoying it.
it's fucking silly.

Just got back from the mall. My wife picked up her original Movado watch (new band for it). This is the one that was my 15 year anniversary gift to her (and that was almost 14 years ago).

If it's Wednesday night then I must be watching Lost

Drinking me a nice cold beer and listening to the new tori songs......

listening to the donnas
miffed that my sister took the dvd of mrs potter, i wasn't done with it

Printing off the final draft of my experimental psych paper that's due today (Friday). I'm kinda nervous about handing it in. For some weird reason I'm afraid that I'll get a lower grade than I got on my first draft (even though I realize that it's highly unlikely as I made all the changes that he suggested).

I went to the happy hour for my friend who was having her 28th birthday today. On the cookie cake, it said 21+7, as one of my other coworkers said that she was turning 21--obvious joke.

I was only supposed to have two beers, but there was a mixup and I got a third beer. I've been kinda buzzed most of the evening. I left there around 6:45. My wife was upset because it was getting late. Her acid reflux means that we have this really short window where it is acceptable for the two of us to eat, because she has problems eating later.

my stomach kind of hurts. i'm thinking ulcer or stomach cancer or residual water from enema or appendicitis.

*shakes head*

Can you say hypochondriac?

I knew that you could.

Yep, Rob is constantly plagued by real ailments and fub is constantly plagued by imaginary ones.

They make quite a pair.

the stomach ache has ceased, only because i stuffed myself earlier.
my throat hurts from purging.

lovely

Practicing the essays for my Western Civ test on Wednesday. I'm actually alternating that with being online and cleaning my room.

We got back from going over to Mont Bonnell, which is a high spot in Austin that overlooks Lake Austin (Colorado River). We took both cameras and the new flash cards. I'll try to post some of the pictures later.

After that, we went by my wife's work (I'd never been over there) and I kicked off a virus scan. She didn't even know that virus scanning software was installed on her system. It probably needs to be defragged as well.

We stopped by Harold's Warehouse Outlet and bought some shirts/blouses.

The guy that installed the electrical outlet for the backyard fountain is trying to fix it up--it was open and probably defective, because the piece that you screw the electrical outlet into had separate from the containing box--they're getting it fixed now.

I probably need to go over and pick up my son from a friends house.

I need to get back to studying for my western civ test, but I just really don't feel like it.

I got thru eating usual lunch including my strawberries. We need to go to the grocery store tonight.

We're under flash flood watch and there's a line of thunderstorms coming through.

I've been creating Excel spreadsheet reports. Oh fun!

ANTICIPATING the new tori album, i'm gonna wake up when the store opens and be the first one there, im even more excited that there is a limited edition one.....(which im getting of course)

Right now I'm pissed that I only got $80 back for my books. Ugh...

It was released here today and I just ran into the store at lunch time and was like "gimme gimme gimme". It was at number 4 in both music shops I looked in.

When I went in, it was being played and "Body And Soul" was on. I was just singing away aha. Everyone in the store seemed to be enjoying the song, and all the businessmen were tapping their feet. Quite surreal.

did you wet your pants?

Or poop em'?

You'll be pleased to know a bit of both!

Yum-O!

The food here made me sick. Seriously I have shat like 5 times today and it is all that sticky crap that is hard to pinch. And my stomach hurts. Thank god the girl in my class made a Fritata so I could have something good to eat.
