All by myself

15-all-by-myself

Since Chip has started working I've been very lonely lol.  I'm all by myself now.  I figured that while he was away I'd be cleaning or doing something constructive.  I do the dishes and laundry when there are some laundry that needs to be done.  I mopped the kitchen floor and I pulled weeds but I can't pull the weeds, my allergies are too much for that job.

I figured that I'd get more reading done but today is the first day that I've read my book in at least a week and I only started reading it because I felt like this was the best time to read so why aren't I reading?  I only read 1 chapter though, he'll be home in 1 1/2 hours and it takes a couple hours to read 1 chapter, they are long chapters hehe.

Maybe when I get my bike it will be less lonely.  Yeah, I'll still be alone but at least I'll be getting some exercise and I'll be outside and on the bike trail.  I really miss riding my bike.  I don't trust my bike anymore because it keeps shifting gears for no apparent reason so I want to get a new (used) one, a road bike (ten speed) at the thrift store by the doctors office.

I'm glad Chip is working again even though I'm bored out of my mind lol.  I have lots to keep me busy though so I shouldn't be too bored.  I have my PSP and I got plenty of books to keep me busy and I have friends online to talk to but usually in the daytime even though they are online they are also at work so I don't bother them.

I was thinking maybe now that he has a job I could start playing EQ again.  But, I don't know, I'm kinda over it.  I also don't want to start spending money on that again because then I'm gonna want the next expansion and then I'll get hooked again and then I'll be on it all the time and won't get anything done and when he gets home I'll ignore him so I think a no on that.

I have plenty of ideas for wood burning but I don't have any wood.  I do need to get some so maybe if I had some then that would take care of the boredom.

Maybe I'll write out a schedule for the day.  He leaves the house at like 8:30am, he says it takes 10 minutes to get to work.  So I figure I''ll leave the house at 8:30am as well on my bike (when I get it) and ride for a couple of hours.  Then at say 11am (if I'm back by then) I'll read 1 chapter, that should take 2 hours.  Then at 1pm I'll have lunch and do some wood burning for maybe 2 more hours.  Then at 3pm I'll clean the kitchen up a bit and do the laundry (if needed).

I don't know, I mean, I don't live my live through a schedule, I do what I want, when I want to lol.  I might decide during wood burning that my hand is too cramped up to continue so I'm gonna go do something else or who knows, I might get sleepy after I ride my bike.  So let's see how it goes when I get my bike.  I also might get sleepy while reading and accidentally fall asleep lol.

Gothic Kittens

I saw this story in the National Enquirer magazine but looked it up and this is the text from that story from MSNBC but is from Associated Press:

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Humane officers said a Pennsylvania woman marketed "gothic kittens" with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet. Officers with the SPCA of Luzerne County removed three kittens and a cat from a home outside Wilkes-Barre.

Officer Carol Morrison said the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals raided the home on Wednesday after getting a tip that the woman was selling the pierced kittens on eBay.

"It's unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens," Morrison said.

Charges are likely against the homeowner, whose name was not released.

Morrison said the woman has a pet grooming business in the basement of the home.

That is such a shame that this woman would do such a thing to these poor defenseless kittens.  She was arrested and she should never be allowed to come in contact with any animals unless they are dinner.

Video Calls

I've seen in tv shows where people are using an iPhone and they are talking to each other and they can also see each other. Like in Knight Rider for example. I'm curious if that really is possible. Maybe someone call respond to this question.

Since Chip has a job now we're both going to get a cell phone plan and new cell phones. He's been taking our only cell phone to work but it's a pre-paid cell phone which means for $25 he gets 2 1/2 hours to talk. He's calling me all the time and he's calling other places and I just have a bad feeling about it. He's going to need a cell phone plan with an unlimited calling feature, GPS and internet. I figured that we could both have them so we can call each other for free.

I'm going to need one too because as soon as I get a new bike wheel I'm going to be riding my bike again and when he calls me I'd like to be on video phone chatting so he can see what the bike path looks like. I think that would be cool.

Anyway, please, if someone can respond to let me know which cell phone has that feature. I'd like to get blackberries but iphones will be cool too. I just need to know which phone is best for video calls. Thanks

Changing Focus of Savings

I've realized that since Chip now works during the daytime and my tv programs are on at night that I probably will never see him again.  He hates all my tv shows so I watch them by myself in my bedroom while he watches his shows.

The only way for me to spend any time with him and be able to see my shows is to record them and watch them while he's at work.  But the problem I faced last night is that I created a program last night to record Chuck, Heroes and Medium but ended up watching them anyway since he was asleep but continued to record them.  This morning after he went to work I went to delete the file from the DVD-Ram disc and it was empty.  It didn't record at all.  That was frustrating.

Tonight I have 2 shows, Reaper at 8 on CW and Mentalist at 10 on CBS.  When Reaper is over I have to come in my room and change the cable box to channel 47 for CBS HD so it can record the Mentalist.  But I also have to come in and make sure it is recording.  Now if he is too tired to stay awake then I will come in here and watch.

My only issue is that on Wednesdays I watch Stargate SG-1 at 3pm on Sci-Fi HD (which is eastern time zone channel) then Ghost Hunters from 4pm-8pm then that one with Linda Blair at 9pm then at 10pm I switch to Comedy Central for South Park.  Actually I usually switch to NBC HD at 8pm for Knight Rider.  So Wednesdays are usually busy for me.

My new plan for the money I'm saving in PayPal is to buy a TiVo instead of a e-book reader.  I've always wanted a TiVo anyway and now I have a reason to buy one.  I'm going to wait until I get a widescreen tv though so I can get a HD TiVo.

An HD TiVo is only $200 and if I save $50 a month then it will only take 4 months to save up for it then I can just pay the monthly fee for the plan which is $13 a month.  No biggy.

I'm still going to save up for a e-book reader so maybe after I get a TiVo I'll continue saving for the next gen Kindle.

Dog Fetishes

Can someone answer this?  Why do dogs eat cat poop?  That is the most disgusting thing in the whole world.

When we got our little Chihuahua, Flower, one of the first things she did was go for the litter box.  What?  Chip was holding her and then came into my room and asked me to smell her breath and I said no thanks lol.  I could already tell that she must've done something bad.  Listen, whenever someone asks you to smell or taste something, it's never a good smell or taste.  Just say no.

So, I had to put the litter box in the bathtub and make our elderly cat jump into the tub to go to the bathroom but she's old, she craps all over the place because I think she's losing it.  So we would still smell cat poop on the dogs breath.  I ended up having to put our cat on the patio (it's an indoor patio, it's the area between the garage and our house so it's a patio).  My cat loves being out there so she's happy, we're happy, everyone is happy.

When it's cold I bring her in the house and I have to lock her up in the kitchen because if I don't the dog will go for her litter box and also the cat might crap all over the house so she has to stay in the kitchen.  I just brought her in and the dog was outside so I brought her back in too and the first thing Flower did was she went to eat some poop on the side of the litter box.  LOL Gross dog.

Video Game Videos

Now that Chip is working I can start video taping video game play from my PSP game.  I have quite a few actually in my YouTube page but it gets frustrating when I'm talking while playing and then Chip starts calling my name from the other room then I have to stop the recording to yell WHAT!  LOL.  Or he'll come in here and say who are you talking to?

The only thing that will mess it up I guess is if he calls while he's at work and the phone rings.  Although it could be anyone really.  But I'm going to work on it.  These are the games I already have on YouTube (in the order that I put them on YouTube:

• South Park the video game for N64


• My New PSP (Game Play)


• Lego Star Wars II: Original Trilogy PSP


• Sega Genesis Collection for PSP


• Namco Museum Battle Collection for PSP


• Dungeons & Dragons Tactics for PSP


• Sims 2: Pets for PSP


• Lego Indiana Jones for PSP


• Beats for PSP


• Lemmings for PSP


• Flow for PSP


• WTF: Work Time Fun for PSP

So far that's all the game play videos I have.  I still have more games to video tape such as Daxter, Lego Batman, Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, Star Wars Battlefront II and Untold Legends: Warriors Code.

I personally like to watch other people play video games to see how it's played because it answers some questions before you buy a game.  So, I add my game play to give another perspective for people to see.  As soon as I add some I will update this post.
