Vincent The Dragon

Her spirit is not off this earth no longer and we committed her body to Mother Earth but she will never be gone.

I remember her sleeping in the dustpan, it was metal and sort of a pink color as I recall. When she was a kitten, very sick and so was I with my Crohn's; We took care of each other. She taught me how to Murf, could purr like nobody and she had a wonderful smile. We I came home she always had a hello murf for me; with a smile and her cute little pink nose. We love you Miss Duster and will miss you from now until we see you again.

Gramma Hope is passed away. She went off in the woods and did not return. I am hopeful that she went to sleep and never woke up.
She was a good cat, had a long life and was loved.
She will be missed.

My finances are not good and they are not getting any better. I am not making any headway in getting out of debt. Will's job is hard and not the best shift for us to spend time together but it does pay okay. This was the first pay check where he is in the position to help pay for stuff but nooo. Thanks to his sister and her husband we now have a two year dent in our finances. I was opposed at the time to helping them rebuild their predicament of not being able to get a car loan after they filed bankrupt but family is family so a car loan was co-signed on. Now rather than call us and let us know they were going to fall behind so something can be worked out, or calling the car place to work something out; Will gets the call from the car place saying they can't get a hold of them and the car is being re-posessed. Since Will's car load is from the same company we had to get the car and are now responsible for the payments. One of his other sisters, whom is not a total looser, is going to pay half the payments and she gets to use the car and we will pay the other half. Thats money we needed for our bills.

shitty day at work, I don't know what keeps me there.
Come home and no one is due in for awhile so I felt like listening to some nice loud music and I can't even fucking do that because my sub-woofer is old and shits the bed and I can't afford to replace it. So I make supper and watch crappy movies on netflix

My sister done got hitched yesterday.

Her and her new husband have been together for some 8 years now so it was a long time coming. The wedding was nice, I failed to burst into flames in the church, and I look good in a tux. All in all it was a very nice ceremony and reception and I hope they have a long and good life together. Will was part of the celebrations too, he looks very nice in a suit and tie *^_^*

I look forward to the following days of mom no longer being an emo mess and things getting back to normal here at the Lair.

Our finances are still not good. We were planning on having our commitment ceremony here in a few months but we do not see any way to come up with the money to do so. It will have to be postponed. My work is not the best place to be and I don't really see a long term future there; the cost of health care is killing us. Somehow we have got to get our rotating debt wiped out; if it were not for that we would be breaking even but just barely and that would still not leave enough left over for a place of our own to live. It really sucks struggling all your life with nothing to show for it. i don't mind the struggle, i am used to it but not being able to stand on our own in life at the age we are is disheartening to say the least.

So now that I have run out of Star Treks to watch on Netflix I have decided to watch something else. The system decided to recommend Trinity Blood. It's pretty good but one thing I don't understand is why Anime females are drawn so...stupid looking with boobs the size of watermelons. I mean, sure, me being gay means boobs in general are something I don't get but really...boobs the size of watermelons?

A friend of mine got himself a 'little' telescope.
We had some gazing but the sky at his house is not the best. Looking forward to having some sky time at a more remote place.

We went and saw Battleship.

It was pretty good!
(^_^)
And it was nice to have a date night; we have not been able to do that for a while.

...not much going on really.

Will's getting used to his job; things there are going good.

Mines the same as always.

yay!
Will got a job at the local casino working as security/EMT
^_^
He is doing well in school and well on his way to being a Paramedic

and i need the break from work and all the shit that's going on...

It has become abundantly clear that the place I work for is not a good place to be.

It's never been a good place but I have been dealing with it; lately however its gotten worse and I am tired of it.
So I will be working on my resume and looking for something else.

Also; I am still getting tons of spam so I did some upgrading and editing of some of the htaccess file.
Time will tell.

Conglomeration: Good! We had fun. The Con was not as good as years past but it is still recovering from having been gone for a few years. What it needs is some younger people in charge. Not that us older guys don't have what it takes but you cant have all the same people for years and years...some of them die out so to speak. We sat in on a panel ran by a wonderful artist; Laura Reynolds who gave us knowledge and insight into her sculpting and techniques.

Computer: bad!!...I have been having an issue with flash media corrupting the video cards memory. It's been leaving an image stuck that bleeds through either the white or black component of things displayed on the desktop. I am not sure if its flash (un-installed and re-installed) or something i tried to do with desktop special effects (found to be broken in 10.10), video card dying (it is and 8800GTS and has several years on it), or something gone wrong in the video driver. I downloaded a newer version of the driver and installed it...boots to console and i can't coax it to start Xserver...Sooo right now the computer is updating itself to 11.04 from Bash, which will likely make all kinds of stuff not work but lets hope not...or at least lest hope it boots to the gui again.

The good thing about Ubuntu is even horribly broken I can boot to command or boot via a live disk and recover all my stuff.

I always pack too much...or..my luggage is not big enough.
it's one or the other.

Yup it's time for my yearly colonoscopy...so yay me!

Not much else going on other that work, eat, work at home, sleep, worry about not having money...
