The Cars – Since You’re Gone

Yeah, The Cars… I was at a keg party once and they were playing an old vinyl of The Cars and I realized how cool they were and downloaded a bunch of their mp3s when I got home, hee.

I had a really REALLY strange dream last night. See I think I lived in a mixture of this apartment and the apartment I lived in above a liquor store in Seneca Falls… which is strange because the difference between the two is just so vast that it could only be captured in a dream. Anyway apparently I was living with my mother, and I was in the kitchen doing dishes, and listening to Fisher, when my mom comes in the front door and yells at me for listening to “The Devil’s Music so loud that the whole neighborhood could hear it” Then went on to tell me that she was trying so hard to get back into the Christian lifestyle and I was countering her every move at it.

Yes, very odd.

I am not sure where this dream came from, I guess I was thinking of calling my ma and telling her we put a bid in on a house… and monday Myk made a comment about all the churches in the area we are moving to… and I dunno, OH! During part of the dream Mr Bones (the cat I had with my ex) was walking around and I was cleaning his dish… That must be from Myk and I talking about getting a kitten when we get a new house… I was missing my other kitten %(!

Anyway, I told Myk last night that we shouldn’t talk about “which would be our room” and “which would be the computer room” and “where the cat little box would go”…. until we knew we got the house. I’m just terrible with jinx’ing these things with my excitement… did I ever mention I’m superstitious like that? Heh… so instead I am thinking of all the bad things about buying this house. And I will list them here to convince you (who reads this?!) and myself that they are real concerns.

1. the yard is really small, I like big yards, and because of the lack of space there is a pretty good chance we won’t be able to get a dog (Myk wants a dog…). 2. Owning a home is freaking expensive! We will run into this whenever we buy a house, but as of noew the mortgage is $200 more a month than our rent here. Now of course we will get by… and I will be close enough (about a mile from) to places where I can get a part time job, but still, I will work and we will maintain this same standard of living… 3. The house is in an area that is a bit more populated than I would have liked 4. There is unfinished work to the attic above the garage, and neither of us are good at “carpentry” work… it will need to be finished. 5. The fireplace is a propane fireplace instead of a real one with wood and stuff.

Ok enough talking about the house.

Besides that strange dream I guess I slept alright most of the night.. that is until I woke up just after 7 really thirsty (I keep a glass of water by my bed, but I apparently had drank it all throughout the night)… plus I was sneezing and coughing because they are doing the yardwork outside today… I am so allergic to cut grass (oh! there is another reason, we’d have to get a lawnmower and cut our own grass! hehe). So I got up, got a glass of water, took some Benadryl and crawled back into bed.. not falling back to sleep of course, ugh.

Right, so a little note on the move of my irc channel #13thHour. I was concerned that moving it to another server would “kill” the room… I couldn’t have been more wrong! Strangely enough emailing everyone and telling them about the change has pulled a bunch of people back, it’s much more active than it’s been in MONTHS… I’m really happy about that, I was concerned that the room was going for a serious slump again. Unfortunately we have lost a couple people… but I had to expect that. It’s ok, I really am pleased with how the move has gone… I ended up leaving r2d2 on scifi, in a #13thHour moderated room, if any of his “friends” comes in he -notices- them telling them to go to the new server. And anyone else coming in just will leave… in any event no one gets voice (% So it keeps the room from migrating back. I dunno when/if I’ll ever shut down r2.. I am so paranoid that someone will open in up as a ‘joke’ or whatever… gah… I care about irc too much!!! Hehee

Last night we had our friends Mike and Nita over… they are really cool, another couple that met online, but like 4 years ago so they have been together for a while. We sat around and told them about the house we bid on, they seemed really happy for us after a quick “how long have you been looking? I HATE YOU!!!” (they have been looking for about a year apparently… we started looking in august). Hehe, all in fun tho… we went out to Olive Garden … it was ok, I got yummie eggplant parmesean %d my fave… it really turned out to be a nice night, afterwords we came back here and talked a little more, Myk showed them an episode of Harvey Birdman (click on “harvey birdman” to go to our download site for a funny episode!).. they liked it, hehe. Also Mike showed me a site he has on his server… password protected that he has a bunch of o’reilly text versions of books on, said he’d send me a login and password for it (% That should be kewl. Also we talked about our linking of our IRC server with the others (’cause Mike asked if we had gotten tired of the unstable scifi server yet)… he offered to help me with a perl script to graph the data about usage on the network %D I would write a perl script in r2 to run the /lusers command every 5 minutes or so, it’d grab the users # and the time and put it into a file that I could use for graphing. He said if I had a file then he could help me out with the graph writing part… that’d be kewl %) I think I will look into making the script today, it would be fun…

Anyway, I have stuff to do, and this blog has been freaking long, hee! *wanders off*
