M0m had a second skin cancer surgery today.  Minor, went well.  But still I think you stress even when you don’t realize you are stressing.  Last time she bled a lot, this time not, but I am SO tired tonight.  (Why don’t I have a “dear diary” category?)

This is a riot.  I ordered a USB drawing tablet from amazon and today they sent me an email to say that they shipped it via fedex, so I copy/pasted  the tracking number and looked it up at fedex’s website and it said that it was already delivered to J. Martinez (not me) in New York City (that’s not where I live) in November of 2005.  Then I went back and clicked on the link in the amazon email and it took me to amazon.com where it showed the SAME thing!  Bizarre.  I’m not going to get excited yet.  Maybe it’ll be updated later.  WEIRD.

kw: amazon, amazon.com, fed ex, fedex, tracking number

So I use Trillian on my PC.  Now I got a MacBook and M. installed Adium for me.  When I set up my accounts, I got all these alerts asking me if I’d allow these people to add me to their IM contact list.  I just clicked YES to all of them cuz I figured maybe I just don’t regocnize the email associated w/ the ID, but maybe I know the people.  Then I get an IM from a guy who says “I don’t know you, who are you?” and we chat a bit and I have NO idea who he is or where I know him from or why he messaged me (except that I guess when I clicked “OK” to all those alerts, those people got confirmation alerts.  So then, I get BACK on my PC for a bit and start up Trillian, and I get the same alerts AGAIN!  This time I clicked NO to the ones I didn’t recognize (most of them).  That’s just weird.  Truth is, I have SOOOOOo many IM contacts in Trillian it’s NUTS.  I hate to delete seemingly “old” contacts because sometimes people DO pop on IM that I have literally not seen in years!  So I hate to delete them.  That said, if you do like to chat w/ me on IM, especially MSN IM, you may have to re-ad me to your contact list.

Ok, radar detectors are useless if you are going to play your stereo so loud you don’t even hear it go off. I got snagged for speeding today for the first time ever but luckily got a warning, whew!!! He was super nice tho and that’s really cool.

Just testing email-to-flickr-to-blog.

This past weekend I continued to feel down, mostly on Saturday. I kept crying again. I’m sad over my cat, worried about my mom’s skin cancer, worried about moving (or not moving, for that matter). We were supposed to go out w/ friends Saturday night but all I did on Saturday was cry, so I stayed home but sent M. out to go have fun w/ the group. I felt better by Sunday and today (Monday) I feel ok. I’m still worried, but not feeling emotionally sad like I was.

I’ve been doing a lot of work on my art blog. I just hacked apart a purple Moleskine and put sketch paper inside, check it out.

I’ve had a lot on my mind, and then while at lunch today w/ my mom I just started crying and didn’t know why.  But of course I know why, I just have a lot on my mind.  Nothing terrible, well, -

My 19.5 year old cat is sick and not doing well.  My mom has a bas1l ce11 sk1n cancer to get taken off and I am worried.  We bought a house can can’t move or get this house fixed up cuz it’s too much work and I’m exhausted all the time and M. is overworked and tired.  I feel alone- I’m alone all day and alot of times I am or just feel alone at night, like when M. has to go to bed early cuz he has to go to work at 4am, or when he’s tired and comes home to “nap” but I don’t see him again until 1am, or when he is home and awake but so into surfing or programming he seems annoyed if I talk to him.  Yes, M., I know you read this, sorry.  I just need to vent.

I’m finding sketching to be very theraputic.  As I said before, I set up an art blog, and I’d love for people to check it out.  “I don’t claim to be good, I just claim to be trying.”  I found some older sketches from 1998 and have scanned them all in and posted some of them… also posting current sketches from my moleskine… and working on new stuff. Click here to see art blog.

The GorillaPod is so handy!

I put my Nikon S6 on there and aimed it down at my Moleskine to take photos of my drawings for my new art blog.

Last Wednesday This guy was RIGHT in front of me and his ladder fell off his truck and onto the pavement. Good thing I leave a safety distance and am alert!
And what kills me is that I ALREADY had my concerns about him, keeping my distance, because he had these pieces of wood on his truck with nails sticking out of it, and none of it seemed secured!
He didn’t even KNOW he lost his ladder, the guy in the next lane had to tell him. I hear that most of this town is on Meth. I wonder if it’s true!

I love the labels on this coffee:

12:30am - tired, take 8-hr sleeping pill (lunesta) and go to bed and read until I fall asleep about 1:30am.
4:30am - get up to use restroom
4:33am - 5:45am - try to get back to sleep, then decide to get up. Watch tv about women in China, make a bagel, get online.
6:23am - Still not tired at all. 3 hours of sleep. This sux.

kw: insomnia, lunesta

What is new…

I’m finally over my cold.

I went to the orthodontist today, I am getting braces. I gagged on the mouth mold, it was awful… choking…

It is fun to take the dogs for a walk on the scooters… scootering is fun…

Yes. I am old and I am getting braces and ride a scooter. And I wear skull shoes.

I am bored. I shoulda been in bed hours ago, but somehow I lost track of time. We went for a late dinner and then had to go to The Office cuz M. is on call and he got called and had to fix stuff, so we lost some time tonight and I have NO IDEA AT ALL how it got to be 4:04am!!!

I am bored, and feeling kinda lonely… but I’m just gonna go to bed.  It’s nuts to stay up this late anyway.  Tomorrow is a new day.

My wish for the new year. The shirt I’m wearing today.

If shozu’s phone app and would just WORK PROPERLY, it’d be the best way to moblog. I [used to] like it best because;
1) once I upload a photo, I can then send it on to another site or person without re-uploading it (without paying for a second upload),
2) I can add tags upon sending a photo to flickr,
3) It reduces the image size on the fly which saves me a million clicks on my phone.

BUT!
a) the phone app rarely works without crashing and freezes up my phone constantly (and I’ve heard this from others so it’s not just me), and now
b) their frickin’ website isn’t even working right. In order to [RE-]download their software, they have this stupid new “enter the characters for the symbols” box which, even when YOU DO TYPE IN THE RIGHT STUFF it comes back and tells you it’s wrong!

My mood is declining. I’m getting pissy.

This might just make me a dork.

But I just thought it was really cool how the snowflakes at tmobile.com are made from the letter “T”.

Sometimes I realize that the stuff I should be blogging, I’m not, and instead, emailing it to friends. So here’s some links and quotes I pulled from my Sent Mail folder, to share what’s been on my mind (and in my browser’s history)-
