Julie came by as I cooked dinner. She brought a care package which included: mac and cheese, chocolate (and lots of it in different yummy forms), funky band aids, a thermacare bandage, Dr. Pepper, and other bits. It really served to cheer me up, and I invited her to dinner. We had veggie Sheppard’s Pie, and I must say, it came out pretty well. She cracked me up because she kept the potatoes separate. She scurried off to class after I fed her and we consumed some of the Milano Cookies she brought.

David and I ended up napping shortly after she left. We just couldn’t keep our eyes open. And around 10 we woke, and then proceeded to get into an argument. The stress levels are high at the house, with the car being all fucked up and both of us enduring immense pressure from school and work and the like. We really are trying to fill up our lives and trying to get somewhere with things. But although we keep a pretty shiny veneer on for the world to see, there is still turmoil there. I had to hang up with Tali (sorry babe) in order to fully attend myself to the “discussion” at hand. We don’t see eye to eye sometimes and I admit my patience has been lacking of late. I don’t like fighting because it doesn’t solve anything most of the time, but I get frustrated and I get mean and then I feel like an ass. Instead of being supportive, my attitude sours and turns into something akin to “suck it up and deal with it.” Not exactly an endearing nature. Alas, I am working through that, and David and I went to bed together. I think I fell asleep holding his hand (because, as usual, Pip was balled up at my belly, sleeping soundly - we call him the “Chastity Beagle” for a reason). We talked things through, but I can’t plan his successes or how he’s going to get a portfolio together with everything else that’s demanding his attention. He REALLY doesn’t have time to spare these days, as we steal time together during our bike rides and such. My single-minded nature has allowed me to bulldoze through lots of difficulty, but I think last night taught me that my way is not always the right way, and holding hands is sometimes more powerful than plowing over obstacles.

I need to finish that story that I never worked on last night. D took me to work this morning, and it seem that if he drops me off, the traffic is a lot lighter going out his way. Although he rode to work yesterday, I think the abuse his bike takes on the sidewalks really bothers him. It’s a street bike, not a sidewalk bike, and that has to be frustrating.

So, today I am going to eat my leftovers from last night, I am going to go through another day at work where I speak to one or two people (I’ve made myself a pariah) and then leave and go home for the weekend. I hope that everyone has a happy Friday, and remember, if you’ve had a shitty week like everyone else I know, it’s almost the weekend!

And here are some links to chew on.

Cd to IPod = illegal? This is enough to piss a consumer off. I’m a little exhausted by the RIAA’s stupidity.

Hooked on comics This is for David and the other comic geeks out there

Holy crap!! David and I plan on doing some traveling this year. I really hope they don’t lose any of our stuff. Remember!! If it’s REALLY important - don’t put it in your checkin luggage. I think that’s why I always carry 2 tons worth of shit in my Chrome bags. Good thing they are HUGE

Apple gets Wormy Now - don’t be a dumbass user and install this thing. You have to do the installation, this is not something that can just pop into your Mac. If you get it - it’s your damn fault!

Eco-farming helps the poor! This one of the less weighty articles. I got pretty bummed when I realized that Greenland is melting. I can only laugh at those morons who buy sea-side property. Perhaps we can learn to work with the earth instead of against it…. of course, that goes against human nature. Blah…

Audiri > Home Find music you like!! And It’s FREE!

Eva Green = hot Bond Girl I would see the movie, just for her. She was also in “The Dreamers” and “Kingdom of Heaven.” The villan was in “King Arthur,” which everyone also hated. Why do I like the movies everyone loathes, and hate most of the popluar ones?

Here’s an article with Natalie Portman about V for Vendetta. I admit that I really want to see this. It seems strangely familiar…. mmm..
