fin.

.. i don't think i can continue on with this blog for a long while. epic fail.

It's been a rough couple of weeks.. although I've been taking photos.  I don't think I can muster up the energy to post them and to post them daily anytime thereafter.  I'll continue to take photos... it's just a matter of getting them online eventually.

UPDATE TO COME!

i care not to divulge the things that have been going on with me for the past week.  on top of catching a semi-flu from peter (i say semi only because it wasn't as bad as previous attacks, but that may be because i actually took care of myself this time), just thinking of the flurry of other happenings might just cause a mental breakdown.

i think i missed ONE day of taking pics though due to the flu.  i just slept all day, so i guess i didn't miss much.  lol.  i'll update tonight when my thoughts re-align themselves.

Day 054 / 365 - Such Is Life

[insert photo here]

#054

Guess what people?  I'm sick!  YUP. WTF, right?  Peter started feeling sick 2 days or so ago and lo and behold, I caught whatever he has!  Gosh, my body is aching SO SO bad right now because I just got back from the store.  I got some alka-seltzer type pills to hopefully curb this bug, but it tastes heinous!  I also bought a gallon of OJ, chicken noodle soup, & Gatorade.  Debating whether or not to take the Mucinex yet.. I think I'll use that as a last resort.

In addition to body aches, I'm coughing (I never complete got rid of it!) more, sneezing, runny nose, and super duper tired.  WHY ME?  Hopefully this doesn't last as long.. I think I might cry :(  FML if it's the flu!

Oh, I did take a photo though.  It was nice outside today.  Too bad I felt freakin cold in 70 degree weather!  I'm hoping to get it posted tonight, but right now I just really need to lay down.

Day 053 / 365 - Midnight Snack & Nostalgia

#053

My life is rather uneventful.  Today was no exception.  Stayed up late because I had to finish updates on this website.  Woke up late.  Check my e-mails, messages, comments, etc.  I did my sweepstakes, ate some gyoza, & played Call of Duty 4 for a few hours.  I played a lot of the 'know-it-all' quizzes on facebook and worked on getting a 100k+ high score on bejeweled since last weeks scores were cleared.  I also spent a good amount of time reading the news, as I always do everyday.  I don't know why, but I've developed a habit of reading the news, no matter how horrid, stupid, or morbid the story.  I guess I just like to be 'in-the-know' about things and my brain likes to collect a lot of random information.  Anyhow, this story is probably one of the more morbid stories I've read in a while:

• Texas judge allows collection of dead son's sperm
  

Yep, the title says it all.  Anyhow, after my COD4 session, I got really hungry and decided to have a kimchi bowl with some vienna sausage in it.  I probably shouldn't be eating late at night nor should I be drinking out of a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi, but ehh.  I already opened the Pepsi earlier today and I need to drink it as fast as possible before the carbonation is lost :)

While eating, my brother happen to come online and we started chatting.  I left him a comment hoping he would know about a certain song that I've been looking for for a REALLY long time.  I can't find the remixed version.  This song is from the mid 90s so it's hard to come across.  In any case, we started talking about old school songs that we used to love.  Good memories.  I miss the old school rap/hip-hop songs from those days.  My brother reminded me about a song I really loved back then, E-40 "Things Will Never Change."  I'm hoping my brother still has the CD with the song I'm looking for.  I had to smile when he said, "I know I didn't throw [the cd] away because I knew you liked that song."  He also remembered how much I loved the song "Lately" by Divine.  I still listen to it a lot.  Aw, I miss my brother :(

Day 052 / 365 - Guitar Hero & Newsboy Beanie

#052

I finally went and picked up my paycheck today.  After that, I cashed in on a deal I just couldn't resist.  I headed over to GameStop and bought Guitar Hero: Aerosmith + Wired Guitar Controller for $10.  Yep, that's it!  Game = $9.98, Guitar = $.01.  I mostly wanted it for the guitar, but the game makes the deal even more slick!  This is only good for XBOX 360.  Gotta love it!  Now Peter & I can battle it out on GH II, GH III, GH Aerosmith, & Rock Band!  Even the worker was surprised to see it so cheap, "Wow.. that's a really good deal!"

After that I went to Target and browsed around for a bit.  I needed to get out of the house.  I almost made it out of the store without buying anything, but then I saw this newsboy beanie as I was about to head out.  Typical.  So I wore it around a bit while I contemplated on buying it or not.  I ended up buying it of course 'cause I've been wanting one for so long!  Haha.  No more spending money for a while.  Seriously.

Day 051 / 365 - The Fast & The Furious *

#051

I spent the day recovering from the previous night.  No hangover, just one of those days where your body knows the happenings of the night prior.  I had to get my car from Jared's place.  I took Lexi with me as I walked there.  She loves her walks!  Unfortunately, I can't handle walking Lexi & Zeus at the same time, so Zeus stayed with Peter.  Lol.  Apparently, Zeus was just sitting at the top of the stairs after we left.  Peter said he kept crying and punching the door (Zeus has a bad habit of punching the door right before we let them out).  To appease the poor boy, Peter gave him a chew treat.  Spoiled!  I found him happily chewing on his treat once we got back.  Lexi looked so cute in the back of my car.  Haha.  Too bad she shook herself and got fur all over the back :(  I'll have to vacuum it now.

We decided to go watch the new Fast and the Furious movie.  Cyndi said it was pretty good and I've been wanting to watch it, so this was the perfect time.  I used the Fandango codes that I got from a trade I did with someone (I got 4 Fandango codes for 6 sets of coupons) so the movie was FREE!  Free always makes things better!  Haha.  We enjoyed the movie.  I just wish there were more racing scenes.  The first movie was all about cars, but this was more about plot.  I prefer the former.  At least I got to see the better version of my car in action (the Subaru WRX STi).  I forgot to take a photo when we were AT the theater though.  It was surprisingly PACKED!  The photo above is on our way home.  I like the array of colors.
