What's shakin'?Follow

I'm supposed to go to a CFL game tomorrow. I'll be drunk so it'll at least be bearable. I guess our tickets are in row 3 right behind the bench, so abusing the players isn't entirely out of the question.

Sunday I get back on the ice for the first time in months, can't wait!

Studying for certification exam (Tuesday!) and starting to pack for the move (week from Tuesday!).

Been fighting off a migraine for what feels like forever, so more drugs for me!

Tomorrow Demi Levato is going to be at the local mall, guess where I am going? Yeah, the price of having pre-teen girls in the house.

Sunday, church and then harassing the mister to move my desk, I need more space to put my crap!

Why don't you just get rid of some of the crap?

You didn't answer the question.

Working on the final stages of Moving. Things will be getting smaller and more cramped.

Make sure to slip a naked photo behind the cover this time.

Welcome to the family!

Some rules to abide by:

Do not under any circumstances, refuse any offer of food, even if it's only a bite to sample. DO NOT REFUSE. But don't eat balut if it's offered. Take a bit of sip of the fluid coming out of the shell, but that's it.

Lola is the absolute ruler of the family. Ask your GF if her family does the "mano mano" with her Lola (taking her hand raising her hand to your forehead while you bow slight to her).

Just about every older lady to you (your mom's age at least), is generally called "Auntie."
"Uncle" is any guy your dad's age and older.

Don't try to unravel any of the "cousin" links.

Don't try to remember names. Ray hasn't remembered names and we've been married 14 years. You'll just drive yourself sick doing that.

If anyone hisses at you behind your back or clucks their tongue or saying "oy!" they're trying to get your attention, not disrespect you. Just look around.

Just smile goofily if anyone speaks Tagalog Ilocono at you. Especially if everyone else starts laughing.

Call your GF "maganda" (muh-gahn-dah) in front of others. It means "beautiful."

If a little kid wants to sit on your lap, do so and just play around.

Don't wear your shoes in the house.

Tonight I hope I can get some sleep after being up 24 hours, though not by choice. at my tummy.

Tomorrow I need to wake up feeling nice and refresh, get into my Ren garb and then Jonwin and I are going to spend the opening day at the Maryland Renaissance Faire with the grandkids.

Sunday will be spent recovering from having to chase, up and down hills after a 5 and 8 year old, while Jonwin is back at work.

Friday? Wut?

I work Saturday, and Sunday is Running Errands Day. Groceries and whatnot. It'll be nice and hot so I'll probably be outside with Thom a lot, continuing to wage my futile war against the weeds that continue to choke the life out of the yard. I may just kill everything, scrape up all the soil, put down fresh and start over in the spring.

Today was a wierd day. Started the morning off with a message from someone I apperently went to school with, she said basically "Hi Tim are you dating anyone, I had a crush on you in highschool, we should go out sometime" Which is great on the surface of things. I can't for the life of me remember this person from school though. I thought she was one of my sister's friends who decided to add me to her facebook for some reason to be honest, and even having seen what she looks like I can't place her. Which is odd because I am lousy with names but I have a pretty much eidetic memory for visual things. Further complicating the matter, she is basically having a hell of a time. She apperently just joined AA, had her 2 kids taken by social services, Abusive, violent ex, and recently tried to kill herself just based on facebook posts I can see, and has apperently just contracted some sort of something that is leading to mounting hospital costs. I have a government job, and benifits... I mean I know I have no real call to be super picky, and maybe I'm just paranoid, but that doesn't seem to be the kind of situation I really want in on, but I don't really just want to reject her outright if she's going to try killing herself again over something like that, or use that as an excuse to drop AA. So I don't know what the hell I am going to do. Try and ignore the situation for the weekend I guess.

Saturday I plan on building the table and bottom of the enclosure frame for the CNC Mill. I'm still waiting for the last belt and 3 pulleys to get here, then I can finish the mechanical linkages and run the electrical. Still need to buy or make a pulley guard for the top pully train so i don't inadvertantly sever power and control cables for the Z-axis assembly. Got a computer for the Mill, will be Computer #4, low end Core 2 Laptop, used. Which leaves the stupid controller and power supply assembly. I'd build that from components, but my electrical configuration skills make me somewhat hesitant given the power supply wattages involved. I also don't want to slag my 3 motors...

Sunday I'm going plant shopping for the front flower bed. Any suggestions for flowers would be appriciated. Roses will be going in the side yard bed. I want to keep all the annoying to prune ones in one spot...

Also, I have a billion beans and a pepper and tomatoes in my garden to harvest

Seems like the only way out of this problem is suicide.
