Domestic Geek

The people of Aurora are so damn stupid. Paul Tauer has been mayor here for as long as I can remember and people bitch about how the city of Aurora is run. So when they have a chance for change, what do they do? They vote for his son, Ed. Granted, I didn't get into the election much because even though I live in the city limits, I still don't feel like an Aurora resident. I have yet to change my license info (it's been a year, I really should do that), so I couldn't vote. Maybe the other candidates sucked, I don't know. I do know that good things can't come from having another Tauer in office. Oh, well. I do know that when Marcus and I finally do buy a house, it won't be in Aurora.

I absolutely LOVE FoxTrot and the cartoonist Bill Amend (he's a mac guy!). The following is an example of why. If you don't get it, sorry, you're not an HTML geek. I get this and Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet in my inboxes daily from uComics.




BTW, I got six hours of sleep. Whoohooo. Marcus is off to see Matrix Revolutions at the IMAX with all his friends from work along with Mike. He's going to take me later, so I guess I'll go make dough early and get it over with.

Current mood: frustrated
This client I have for my class at school is driving me insane. I'm supposed to have the piece at the printer by the end of the week and I still don't have some photos or his return address for the postcard. He supposedly had his portrait taken on Saturday and he hasn't contacted me as to when I'll have them. I have to have the piece back from the printer and have a copy to turn in on the 24th or I fail the class. If I pass it will be a miracle.

Have I mentioned I have insomnia again? I only slept about 4 hours last night and 5 the night before. I was so tired today, and thought I'd go to bed as soon as I got home from work, but here it is almost 10 p.m. and I'm still wide awake. Damn it! I'm pretty sure that part of it is stress from school.

Marcus is taking me to see Matrix Revolutions tomorrow night.

OK, guess that's about all going on in my world. I'm going to go try to get some sleep.

Current mood: excited
In a little more than 24 hours, I'll be seeing Matrix Revolutions. I sooooo can't wait. Hope I'm not disappointed after all this time.

How To Thoroughly Clean The Toilet

1. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and put both lids up.
   
   
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
   
   
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid). The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. (Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.)
   
   
4. Flush the toilet three or four times. (This provides a "power-wash " and "rinse".)
   
   
5. Have someone open the door to the outside (Be sure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.)
   
   
6. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
   
   
7. The now clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself off. The toilet will be sparkling clean!

Sincerely,
The Dog
