Your Travel Personality Is: The Adventurer |
 For you, travel is how you learn about the world. And you like to learn the stuff that's not in guidebooks. You truly have wanderlust. When you're not traveling, you're dreaming about where you'll go next. And your travels are truly legendary - they leave you with stories you'll be telling for the rest of your life! |
American Idol update
Once again, Stankaya stays. He wasn't even in the bottom 3 (again). But at least they sent Haley packing. She was almost as bad as Stankaya.
Hopefully, he will go away soon.

Busy (but fun) weekend - Very bad Monday
I LOVE my new camera. Holy sh*t. I would marry it if it were legal. Ok, well I wouldn't go THAT far, but I do love it.
Why else would I drive allllll the way up to Willows, CA (which is 372 miles from Bakersfield, by the way) just to take pictures??? Ok, maybe I didn't go up there just to take pictures. Everyone knows I am a nature buff. I love nature, wildlife and birdwatching. And what better excuse can there be to take a road trip than to go see some wildlife and take some pictures? I left the house on Saturday just before 7 am and got back home around 12:20 am on Sunday morning. Am I crazy? Perhaps. But I got some pictures and I saw some animals and birds I had never seen before. I will post some pictures eventually. I already posted a few in the "Things I have seen" album. But since I was sick today and hadn't felt well until now, I didn't get a chance to post very many.
I don't know what made me sick. Maybe it was the orange chicken I had at Panda Express last night. Maybe it was the combination of being exhausted beyond reason from driving over 800 miles in one day all by myself along with the very little food I had to eat over the last few days (I didn't eat anything until like 3 pm yesterday and that was just a bag of chips). I don't know what it was, but holy hell, I was sick today. My stomach was racked by cramps and nausea and I was shaking all over. And then there was the "other" thing which I won't discuss right here. Trust me, it was gross. I feel better now, but I still have a headache and my tummy is still feeling a little icky. No more orange chicken for me for a while!
Now, I must go to bed so I can go to work tomorrow. I don't like waking up early for work, but I would rather go to work than to go thru another day like today! Phooey to being sick. Phooey!!!

New camera - woo hoo!!!!!!!!
I bought myself a birthday present today. I got me a new digital SLR camera....
It is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi - I have been playing around with it for a little while and already LOVE it. I also got a 75-300 mm lens and a 18-55 mm lens and a shutter release remote control. I spent a pretty penny on it, but hell. I am worth it I want a macro lens too, but that is gonna cost me another $400-$500. Maybe in a month or two....but I MUST have it - lol. I am such a nerd.
I smell a road trip coming on..... hehe

American Idol Night
In summary: Melinda rocked. Lakisha and Jordin were awesome. Blake and Chris were good. Gina was not bad. Haley and Phil were so-so. Sanjaya SUCKED.
My bottom 3: Phil, Haley and Sanjaya.
Who's going home: Phil. (Who SHOULD go home and should have gone home a long ass time ago: Stankaya)
I am turning 35 tomorrow, and the only thing that can take the sting out of having another birthday is to see Stankaya take his whiny voice and go the hell home already.
Please, make my birthday wish come true.

A Day in the Bay Area
I went on a day trip up to the Bay Area on Friday. You can see more pictures by checking out my other blog (click HERE).
Easter time!
My little guys are all ready for Easter!
Peanut's got his bunny ears on.
Peanut and Lil Oreo have found a lot of Easter eggs.
Peanut's surrounded by eggs.

The curse of Stankaya continues
I have just one thing to say about American Idol..... crappity crap crap. Stankaya is still in the game. He wasn't even in the bottom 3. I give up.
You know who they booted off? Chris Sligh. Yeah. Not Haley or Stankaya. Chris. Who are these people who are voting. I want their names and addresses so I can personally go to their house and kick their asses.
I really wish Ryan Wussycrest would stop saying, "America, you voted ..." because that implies that all Americans have bad taste in music.
At least there is a new episode of South Park is on tonite so that it can take the bitter taste of American Idol out of my mouth.
Oh yeah. I can see again now. I had to go to the opthamologist today for my semiannual plaquenil screen. Woo hoo. Big fun. Got to have my eyes numbed and dilated. I look so forward to that every 6 months. I don't know why they have to render you nearly blind so that they can check your eyes for disease. I couldn't even read anything for hours after the exam. I took a nap to sleep it out because I couldn't see to do anything else. I get to have the same fun again in September.
I just can't wait for that.

I resemble that comment!
You Are 57% Angry |
 Generally, you are not an angry person. But you're easily frustrated and enraged. You have one heck of a temper. And because of your anger, you tend to feel resentful and even spiteful. You already know how to quell your anger. You just need to do it more often. |
You Are Samuel Adams |
 You're fairly easy to please when it comes to beer - as long as it's not too cheap. You tend to change favorite beers frequently, and you're the type most likely to take a "beers of the world" tour. When you get drunk, you're fearless. You lose all your inhibitions. You're just as likely to party with a group of strangers as you are to wake up in a very foreign place. |

American Idol Night
Tonite's AI went down pretty much as it usually does. Melinda was awesome. Sanjaya sucked.
Normally, Sanjaya's singing alone would have made me nauseous. But tonight both his singing and his hair made me wanna puke. His hair alone should get him booted off the show. Someone should have told him that a faux-hawk does not work on a whiny Michael Jackson wannabe. It does work, however, to make him look ridiculous.
At least there were no crying kids in the audience this time.
Please kick him off the show so we won't have to be exposed to further vulgar displays of hair-creativity. Someone stop him! Please. For the love of all that is holy and good.......just stop him.!
Actually, Phil did a good job too. And so did Jordin and Blake. I still don't like Haley. If San-can't sing-jaya doesn't get kicked off this week (and the way things have been going, I doubt he will), Haley will.
But I am still hoping that enough people will vote for other people instead of Stankaya so they can kick his ass off for good.
And on a completely unrelated note, what the f*ck is up with that Always commercial telling us to have a "happy period?" There is NO such thing. Are you telling me that just by putting on one of their pads that it will take away all of the cramping and bloating and moodiness of that most joyful time of the month? Talk about false advertising.
And on another completely unrelated note, I am currently experiencing nosegasms brought on by my recent delivery of a huge ginger peach candle from Pier One (I caved in and paid $18 for the damned thing on Pier One's website but oh what a great purchase it was). They only had the big ones. I still want some votives and tealights (if they have them) and 3x4 candles too, but those are out of stock online (damned people stop buying all of my candles!!!) I love the way my apartment smells (but it would smell better if I had more candles - hehehehe). Pier One's Ginger Peach is the best smell in the world!

Not necessarily the news
It has taken me this long to blog about the last round of AI eliminations that happened on Wednesday night. Yeah that damned San-can't sing-jaya is still in there, and they eliminated Stephanie, who actually CAN sing. It just goes to show you that if you put one kid in the audience that will cry when you sing, then you will be safe.
I still maintain that that kid was crying because Sanjaya's singing gave her an instant earache.
I took a drive up to the Carrizo Plain National Monument on Friday, hoping to see another awesome display of wildflowers. But I was disappointed to see very few yet. There were a few patches of goldfields and a few poppies here and there, but it was mostly dry and not very green yet. Guess we need some more rain before the flowers come out. I didn't see any antelope either, but I did see one smallish gopher snake sunning itself on the dirt road. It was maybe 2 feet long. Maybe next time I go up there I will see a few rattlesnakes like I have in the past.
We had a staff meeting on Thursday and the supervisors basically told us that they don't think our 9/80 schedule will be approved this year, so that means no more flex Fridays. Which is freakin' ridiculous because this schedule has been working successfully for the last few years. Why the freakin' board of assholes...I mean supervisors....wants to change it is beyond me. I can tell you that there will be a lot of unhappy employees.....including me...if it happens.

American Idol night
American Idol kinda rocked tonite. Most of the singers did a good job....especially Melinda (of course!), Blake, Jordin and Chris R (he was surprisingly good this time!)I think those were my favs of the night. Of course, Sanjaya sucked again (dude should have been kicked off a long time ago) and even tho the judges liked Haley, I didn't care for her performance very much. And Gina wasn't that great tonight either. And neither was Phil. I thought he would be one of the favorites, but tonight he wasn't so great. But overall, it was a pretty good night on the old AI.
Who's going home....Phil
Who SHOULD go home....Sanjaya.
