Cable

Oh the joys of digital cable and DVR. I wonder if I can do anything but
watch TV now? with 40 hours of programming to be saved, 8 showtimes, a
gazillion channels, an voracious appetite for time shifting, east coast west
coast channels. I am in La-z-boy heaven. I wonder how much one of those
models with the fridge and vibrating massage cost? Seriously, as much as I
say this was a cost cutting move, I have so much consumer surpus now it is
not even measurable. But the truth remains for less that I was paying for
My ISP/DSL and Phone, I am getting Cable a Digital Video Recorder, Cable
Modem and local phone. The internet is faster, and the recpetion of our
local UHF stations is flawless plus I get the low poer UPN and the no-power
WB from Louisville. That in addition to my CNBC, Fine Living, HGTV and
Aqua Teen Hunger Force. And more Will & Grace than I can shake a stick at. And this morning I was able to record a horrible film form the 70s that I thought I dreamt up for the longest time. It shall remain nameless.

Money

Ugh - I made some mistakes in my check book, and they snowballed into $200 in negative, through fees and adjustments. Thankfully, my old boss lent me $400 and another friend gave me $200. I am going to assume the latter was a loan. I'll send a thank you note assuming such and see what her reply is. She has a lot of money, but is rather thrifty with it. She's always trying to make more ready cash.

I can pass around a lot of blame here, but ultimately I was not careful, and I did go on a spending spree these past two weeks. I wonder if it was a manic state? I used to think I bought stuff when I was depressed, but I have been in great moods for quite a while - currently as well.

Convergence

I've been trying to figure out a way to get cable into my budget and spend no more money. I figured out how. I got rid of my phone, my DSL and my ISP - added Digital Phone, Broad Band Cable Internet and digital Cable with DVR and am spending less per month. How exciting. In September the price goes up to be $5 more than I am paying now. That will give me enough time to get my webhosting switched. I have expensive DSL - half my bill come from my ISP and half from my phone company. So between the two of them I'd been paying almost $125 a month. Yikes.

New Body

I am feeling great in my new skin. Its so weird. I am not sure if I am exuding confidence, or if I am a bit cocky. But, people are being nicer to me. Maybe I am noticing it more, and attributing it to my new skinny body. Chas, the skinny guy at work, thinks I am skinnier than he is. But in a side by side comparison, Chas was thinner. But I am more pronounced because my frame is larger, my shoulders are broader, and my hips are thicker. In other words, I have the V body I have dreamed of. Too bad it took until I was 40 and a heart patient.

I found stretchy Tees at Target and am loving them. My Japanese ball shirts are also snug, in that the follow my body to the thin parts, then flows back over my hips when they are not tucked in. Donna said that made me look skinnier than with just the black stretchy Tee. She also said I am getting a bit vain. I'll need to keep that in check. She's cutting me slack for a bit, but I think I need to get used to it if I plan on staying this way

Other Drivers

Other drivers can make me mad, a list of gripes.

• People that turn at 45 degree angles, at intersections, in parking lots. It is like they have lost the ability to turn a steer wheel beyond the ten and two positions.
  
• Impatient left lane passing not allowing you to get in the slow lane if you tried.
  
• People talking on cell phones while maneuvering in a parking structure
  
• the 45 degree backing out of a parking spot behavior
  
• treating my road like a grand prix raceway, and acting like I knew they'd be coming around the curve over the hill 10 miles an hour over the limit.
  
• DVDs playing in the dashboard
  
• timid left turners
  
• impatient right turners that will turn right in front of you from the left
  

Linens 'n Things - Kikkerland Invisible Playing Cards

Linens 'n Things - Kikkerland Invisible Playing Cards these are kind of cool. - I had a perfectly horrible day of shopping. This despite spending about $200. It was mostly ok, until I got to Kohl's. Because I have changed sizes so much in clothes, I asked someone in the men's department if there was a way I could get my neck and sleeves measured. I always forget them anyway. She said "I can give you a tape measure". I gave up on fitted dress shirts and thought I would get some underwear. They do not carry my size. Apparently Kentucky Men and Boys between 28-32 inch waists do not shop at Kohls. Target does. Linen N Things was better shopping experience wise, but with only oneee check out clerk and customers a mile long, the experience suffered a bit.

Old time rock and/or roll

Here is another from the shoot, I was on the furniture. I broke all the rules. Just wait until I get the rest of the pictures edited. Very John Waters, they are.

The Hot Boi

Met a hot boi Saturday night. Don't know his real name. I was up in the DJ booth, and the lights went out. I looked down and saw this boi plugging them back in, after he tripped over them, trying to come up. He was one of the amateur strippers trying to give me his music. After that initial encounter, he was all smiles to me the rest of the weekend. When he asked me to for his music back, he kissed me on the cheek. The next day he did not recognize me all snazzed up. In my black tie, and clean shaven, I guess I looked pretty different. But he still kept smiling. He leapt up at the occasion to help me hang my clothes. Sad thing is I don't know his name. He went by Adrian while dancing but I think it may really be David. He looks very studious, all dressed up, but his bod is killer chicken. I am not a chicken hawk, but the way his back joined his bubble butt made my toes curl. And from the smiles his may have been curling too. I wonder if he has any idea how old I actually am. I did look pretty good that night. My friend Nattie came up with the rest of the music saying "I cannot handle how hot you are!".
