It’s the official Lazy Sunday
Last night was more dramatic than I thought it would be, Buffy made her toe bleed again and I had to take her back to the vet to get patched up. She came out with a bandaged foot and one of those cone collars that she definatly did not appreciate. Took that off when we got home and hung out for the rest of the night with Jon, Brian and Kyle. Went to bed late and I just did some things and took care of Buffy so now the rest of the day is devoted to straight up chilling. It was freezing in here so I had to turn on the heat. Should be a nice calm evening tonight, maybe watch a movie or two and see if anything good is on tv tonight.
The Tony Hawk 8 demo went up yesterday for 360 as did Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3! I bought that and now I need a move list since I’ve forgotten how to do anything since the game came out 13 years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long.
It’s going to be a girl!
I just found out then Jen is going to have a girl. The classic 1:1 ratio. I thought it was going to be a girl.
Buffy update
She’s doing well. Her bandage is off so she can move around easier, but it’s still sore so she kinda hops around. She’s a little down about it still but she’ll be okay.
Buffy is on the injured reserve list
So I got home late last night, I’m tired and not feeling well so I pretty much went straight to bed. Not long after that Mom went downstairs for something (it’s like 3 am) and for some retarded reason the dog followed her.
Except she busted her ass down the stairs. She’s done it before, but she kinda slides down the last 6 steps or so and hits the bottom running. This time it sounded like she ate it. A loud thump at the end. She ended up splitting the bottom of her left paw open and mom had to take her to the vet because it wouldn’t stop bleeding. So blood on the carpet that looks like Dad got all of it out but now she has her foot bandaged. She looks pretty sad about it and I think she’s embarassed too. So she kinda hobbles around now and when mom sat down to talk to her today buffy picked up her bum foot and held it out for mom to hold. Yeah she’s retarded, but she’s cute too. I’m going to take a picture when the battery is done charging.
In brighter news, a fellow at work that should have been fired months ago for being a general ass and a complete waste of space was fired this week. Happened on my day off but he was on his last warning, made the wrong move on blowing up at like the WORST person in the department and was gone 2 hours later. My entire department’s morale is up!
Since I changed my schedule to Wed-Sat I’ve been a sort of nomad when it comes to where I sit on certain days because of lack of space. But now with the Waste of Space gone, I get his desk. Work ruled this week.
Re: WoW
I turned the comments feature back on to get responses to the last post. Hopefully the spam stays away for awhile.
World of Warcraft
If you or anyone you know is looking to get into World of Warcraft, let me know. I’m looking to sell the time I put into my 2 main characters, a level 60 Hunter and a level 43 Druid. I have 2 or 3 other characters but they’re too low to really matter.
When lighting strikes…
It can really screw with electronics. We had a wild lightning storm last night and it hit really close, I was downstairs when it happened. Circuit breaker kicked in and saved the entertainment center (although I have a diesel surge protector back there too). Came upstairs and my computer was off. Turned it back on and it says a network plus wasn’t connected. So after some trouble shooting I figured that my onboard LAN connection ate it. I really have no idea how it happened, the surge or whatever must have come through the cable, through the router and then zapped that one component. A $22 dollar dent as I picked up a 10/100 ethernet card from a local computer place. Got lucky really, a lot more damage could have happened.
I’m happy that I figured out the problem and fixed it in about 5 minutes too. Even took the opportunity to clean out the inside of my computer a bit.
