Stimulating things

What I’d like to do with my $600 check, which I should be getting around June 13th:
Get a new digital camera to replace the wet one: $250
Replace my brakes: $350
Pay for my ticket back from Fattyburger: $315
Buy my Rollercon ticket: $207
Take my cats to the vet: $150
Pay my mom back for the money she lent me to pay my taxes: $1000

Total: $2,272

Hm… I think I need to rejig my math. I didn’t even put any skate upgrades on there.

Bring some streamers. And beer. Lots of beer please.

Hi! Welcome to my pity party! Do you want to hear all about how my knee still hurts and I’m not skating? Do you? No? How about I tell you the one about how my knee pain is making me cranky? Hmm, you heard that one already? What? Twice? Damn. I bet you’ll want to pat my head and say “poor baby” when I tell you about the hell that is trying to make an appointment with Kaiser for an orthopedic specialist? Well, yes, its similar to my plight in getting regularly scheduled pelvic exams, but you know, with a different, more PG rated body part.

Oh, you’ve just remembered you left your stove on? Well, okay. But please leave the beer. And I’ll be sure to call you to tell you how my meeting with a new financial adviser goes tomorrow… yes, its about all the tax I paid… Why are you running?

(I’m fine really, this week is just testing me and doesn’t seem to be letting up.)

yo soy bien

After years of mocking and asking “how do you milk a soy bean…. tell me THAT!!! HA!!!!” I’ve made the jump to soy milk. I haven’t become a vegetarian or lactose intolerant. My co-worker always has it in the fridge and I like some milk in my tea and for some reason soy milk like NEVER goes bad. And after about a month of soy for me I’m hooked.

Fascinating. I know.

Scott and I went to the San Diego zoo last weekend. I would have liked more pandas and for the big cats to be awake, but other than that it was huge and awesome. I wish we could have seen more but we walked somewhere between three or four miles and by the time we were done I was full of zoo.

One of the best parts of the weekend though was scoring $550 worth of hotel stay for $100. Thanks credit card points and guy who locked himself into the room next to us and had to be noisily extracted at 8:30 in the morning thus getting our parking comped!

Oh there’s lots of other stuff going on as well. I’m trying to figure out how my money is best spent: more fancy hair product, new wheels for derby and some ass pads, or a shopping spree at Tarjay to pick up as much of the Converse line as I can carry. All of these options will cost about $120. That Bumble and Bumble hair stuff is FAAAANCAAAY.

Oh. I still <3 derby.
