email is working now. a test sent from work to home has resulted positively. i will now bask in the memories of having lunch at noodles&co. outside, with the ducks.
my server seems to be having some troubles. i'm still unable to receive email. maybe it's a clue to open that yarn store. :)
in addition to my site acting funky, i'm unable to receive email at bekee.com. stay tuned.
apparently napster is arising from the dead. being one who stopped file sharing, for the most part, because of time and the inability to search for something that i wanted to hear but didn't know the name, i'm neither here nor there on the subject. maybe if i had an mp3 player in my car, i'd be more excited.
i'm learning (minor) php, with the help of my favorite co-worker. *happy*
apparently this-or-that is on hiatus for a while, so i have no outsourced content to use. maybe i'll find something later in the afternoon.
normally. but kurt likes ween. so about a month ago, i bought tickets. it was last night. at the rave. i drank $1 plastic cups of tap water while knowing full well that we wouldn't stay the night at kurts' friend's house. kurt's friend didn't even have a couch. there were three of us slated to sleep on a floor surface before the evening got started. needless to say, in the span of 8 hours, i drove for about 4 of those and sat annoyed for the other 4.
i watch it a lot while i'm knitting on the weekends. it seems that travel to mexico is desired during the commercials. what i want to know, is why their branding is, "mexico: closer than ever". am i missing something? was there some sort of shift in the earth's plates? it can't be that much closer than ever.
I finally got around to taking pictures and adding new stuff to the bekeeboutique. Don't be afraid to request colors, as well, if you don't like my choices. :)
do the fridayfive, but it's particularly lame today. maybe i'll make my own up. here goes:
1. If you could change one thing about your life right now, what would it be?
I'd be comfortable, confident, and not monitarily dependant enough to quit my job and rack up some local Madison businesses who need websites and promotional materials so I can work from home and be with my Kurty.
2. What's one thing you're doing this weekend that you don't normally do?
I'm going to breakfast with a co-worker and his wife tomorrow!
3. Tell me something interesting.
I get to meet Kurt's sister from New York tomorrow.
4. What makes you happy today?
Knowing that I don't have to come back to work until Tuesday because I'm going to see WEEN in Milwaukee on Sunday night. :)
5. Where'd you get that?
Target.
I just updated my resume on Flipdog and Monster. It's too bad the economy is so crappy that employers aren't looking for me there. I think Kurt and I are going to have to find a new place to live soon. Boston?
a job at a different place. any takers?
whatevs. though, it'd be nice if it were something understood without having to be enforced, no?
Kurt's scheduled to come home today. Their flight arrives in Milwaukee at about 4:30 and then they have to drive back to Madison. We're gunna go out to dinner at the Tornado. :)
kurt and joe left town dallas-bound on saturday morning... i'm all for having me time, but it's been two days now and i'm used to calling him from work just to have a break from all these talky people. he did call me this morning, but it's different when he says, "i'm sitting by the pool with a cup of coffee." and i have to say, "that's great!" when i'm actually thinking, "stop your f'n bragging!" oh well. at least this'll calm his "i want to go on a trip" syndrome until about januaryish. workin' for a living, -b
kurt's grandpa was an artist. he taught at the chicago art institute during the depression. anyhow, kurt's mom gave us a bunch of malcolm's paintings and drawings last summer. they're still sitting in a box in the livingroom waiting to have something done with them. they're a little abstract, but very interesting. unfortunately, they're old, and acrylic on posterpaper doesn't last forever, so some of them look aged. what would you do with these? sorry for the lame photoshop web gallery. i didn't have the patience to make 'em pretty.
We *creamed* the Beer Police last night with a not-so-close victory of 17-9! Unfortunately, Kurt and Joe missed it, but everyone who played did an excellent job. We even made a couple double plays! Tierra made an excellent catch at home, but there's some lame 3rd base line rule that made the play safe. Still, the catch was great. It's sad, though, that it was the last game and everyone finally started to get it.
it's FRIDAY!
1. When was the last time you cheated?
i always cheat when i play solitaire with real cards and no one's around.
2. When was the last time you stole?
i took a strawberry from the grocery store and ate it before getting to the checkout.
3. When was the last time you lied?
i probably told someone that i was "fine" when i wasn't but really didn't want to discuss anything with them.
4. When was the last time you broke or vandalized another's property?
:/ this is turning into a huck finn fridayfive.
5. When was the last time you hurt a loved one?
kurt wasn't keeping on his side of the bed, so i kicked him.
a sh*tload of spam has been sent on the behalf of my domain. is there a way to stop this? i am the victim here.
because of the concerts on the square and a tiny car accident, it took me 26 minutes longer to get home today. funny thing: i saw john (link removed cuz site is gone) on his way home from work this morning and i smiled at him. it might have come across as a creepy-stranger-smile, so john, if you're reading this; that was me.-----
EXTENDED BODY:
there were only 12 hours in a day, because then a workweek would only be 22.5 hours.
cuz i need to push the nekkid pic down. /Summer Re-run! /
1. Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck?
bugs; i don't like people or things that spit on me.
2. Tom or Jerry?
jerry, and his cousin, muscles.
3. Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck?
donald; he taught me pool.
4. Rocky & Bullwinkle or Boris & Natasha?
boris & natasha. they always seemed to have a mission.
5. Road Runner or Wile E. Coyote?
wile e. he was goal-oriented.
6. Sylvester or Tweety?
what with all sylvester's spitting, i'd have to say tweety.
7. Popeye or Bluto?
bluto's attempts at olive oyl creeped me out. popeye; i used to eat spinach out of a can because of him.
8. South Park or The Simpsons?
the simpsons
9. Jetsons or Flintstones?
flintstones.
10. And finally, the eternal question asked by all good Scooby-Doo fans: Velma or Daphne?
velma! orange sweater.
of bastille day, the eastside mad bloggers are attempting a nekkid blog day. since i do not appear nekkid long enough for the exposure to capture anything but a blurry bekee, i've come up with this. (img tag missing)
and it's not something that you can really get help with, either.. because everything goes with something else. it's the same reason friends can't help put away groceries or the dishes. maybe it's just me, though. :)
i have tendonitis. it's like carpal tunnel syndrome, only it's the irritation of the tendons that control the pinky, ring finger, and half of the middle finger. it started when i worked at relay (for the deaf, hard of hearing, and speech impaired). i was typing 120 wpm 30 hours a week. it hurt to read in bed. it hurt to carry groceries. it hurt to do the dishes. it hurt to make hemp necklaces. the dr's said i had to stop doing all of that. O_o the only thing that fixed it was taking a 6 mo. sabbatical from that job (5 yrs ago). cuz wanna know why? it's caused by stress. my wrist woke me up this morning. [/whine] it's offical, though; we get to start moving in as early as august 8th.
slowly, it gets better.
1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
becki below. 4th grade.
2. Are you still in touch with this person?
no, but i saw her about 4 years ago working at pizzeria uno.
3. Do you have a current close friend?
sorta, we're close by communication's standards, but we're recently far by geographical standards.
4. How did you become friends with this person?
we worked together, and her friend is an exboyfriends younger brother.
5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?
anna. cuz she was nice and wholesome. we lost touch when i went to high school and she was still in jr. high for another year. she was fun. we used to skinny dip in her parents' pool at night. :x don't tell!
i wonder about setting up an anonymous dupe blog. one that contains the stuff that i ramble about currently, and one that contains that stuff and the stuff that my coworkers and mom* shouldn't read. *sorry, mom.
i haven't had to crack my neck /once/ today.
mental health day.
yea, tried. not tired.
Our landlord-to-be, Joe, informed us yesterday that the people who are in the apartment that we're moving into will be leaving almost two weeks early! Anyone who's had to brave the stupidest "moving day" rule that Madison somehow got stuck with will understand my relief.
but all the comments have successfully been put back in their places. rock on with the rain.
the rash of deaths lately? sorry barry, it's sad to see you go.
i'm sure not having any trouble sleeping in over this little vacation. it's gunna be darn hard on monday to drag my a*>s outta bed.
last night i got to hang out with a friend from high skool. it was nice to hear about his exciting trip to ireland and his screenprinted poster-making endeavors. here's a shoutout to all those who don't become townies.
the comments should be working again.. i've also figured out MT's database and will have to reinsert the old comments back into the entries. thanks for your unending patience. :)
