So I come home tonight from a pleasant evening hanging out with my buddies and find my mom with the phonebook out and my sister on the couch.
Then I see that she's sobbing and rocking with one of her rabbits wrapped up in a towel. The rabbit's got what looks like some vomit around her nose and muzzle and she's shivering something fierce.

Well, it's official. The Army didn't just tell me no, they told me (and this is a quote) "emphatically no."
Apparently, the United States of America has no use for people with only one good eye. There goes that idea. . . .
TIME FOR PLAN B!!!!

I will punch you in the face
I'm going to give another go with the U.S. Army. I tried enlisting a bit over a year ago and got the runaround. Usually the armed forces snap up every person they can lay hands on, but I've got a bad eye that makes me an iffy candidate.

Ahh, the profile pic. Now I don't remember what you asked...
girly:
How did I put that together? Easy, I didn't. There was a thread on the boards about someone making new profile pics for people because he was bored.
I was watching Alias last night and I had the strangest thought.
But before I get into that, I think that I need to explain how my brain operates. I have this really weird, ridiculously random association thing that runs day and night. I can go from Winston Churchill's psychological profile to my favorite brand of socks in roughly two connections.

If you had a child of your own, you'd understand. I'm not the greatest with words, but I'll attempt to explain.
I know that one day, David will go on to lead his own life. He'll be all grown up and not my baby anymore. However, that's not going to stop me from teaching him about everything I enjoy doing. I'm almost 100% sure that at some point, Austin will try to teach him how to weld and fit pipe, even though David won't go on to use those skills in his life.
Maybe it's just part of being a good parent.

I've just lost one of my favorite perks at work.
My boss decided he wants to close the comic shop at six instead of seven, so that kills my one-hour lunches. I oh so treasured my one-hour lunches.
None of the rushing, none of the stress. I could eat at a sit-down restaurant any day I chose. Now it's either pack a lunch or break...

Okay, good. Are you still working both jobs? Give me a call sometime when you have a free minute. I'm always worried I'm going to call you when you're working.

We have a few VHS tapes of Fraggle Rock that we got back in the early 90's.
Amazon says there are a couple of DVDs but I don't know how good they are...(But one of them has Let the Water Run on it which, along with The Minstrels, is about my favorite episode, so I certainly hope they're good.)

I'm older!!
Only four more years til I can't trust myself! (bad joke)
I did have, if not a rollicking good time, then a highly acceptable birthday evening.
Storey, our dearly departed (actually just defunct) Maxwell_Demon and I went to an exceptionally good family owned italian restaraunt for dinner, then had drinks at a fine Rockabilly/Blues bar, hit another bar where I ran...

Must-update-journal!
I've been spending my time alternately dealing comics to couch commandoes, Star Wars miniatures to armchair galatic generals, directing frazzled housewives and grandparents to find barely-described toy items at Toys-R-Us and begging with my insurance carrier.
I've been successful with all but the last. They told me right out that they wouldn't cover my unlucky posterior. Curses!

Happy Birthday!!! The big eared rat dog says Hi too
Long time, no update.
Well, let's see . . .
Still working my second job at Toys-R-Us. Not much fun, but it's burning callories.
Oh, and I just got a letter in the mail from my car insurance carrier telling me they 'can no longer cover me with their company.' Damn, but that's irritating. I've got three accidents in the last three years and two...

Are you still going to open your store?
Oh and I need your address so I can send you a Christmas card. Just email it to me or something.

I have decided to increase my generated income and have become an seasonal employee of Toys-R-Us. I've been given the dubious honor of being one of the few short-term employees given a job requiring any real brains. I get to process opened/damaged/returned/etc. merchandise and determine if it can be salvaged and restocked, or if not, return the merchandise to...
