Home alone.
2003-02-05 1:26 p.m.

Feeling much better today. My stomach has finally calmed down. Simon is in Colorado for the weekend so I've had the house to myself which is kind of nice. Don't get me wrong, by this evening I'll be bored and ready for him to come home but I'm enjoying my time alone.

KFK's top ten things to do when you've got the house to yourself:

1. Sunday is clothing optional!
2. Have long conversations with the cats without anyone sniggering at you.
3. Drink chardonnay directly from the bottle.
4. Madonna therapy - crank up the music and dance and sing like you're on stage!
5. When cats are fighting scream out "Let's get ready to rumbbbblllleee!"
6. Eat potato chips with cottage cheese without anyone telling you it's gross.
7. Paint the cat's claws purple.
8. Pretend you're at the spa and give yourself a full body mud mask.
9. Try to squeeze into that old prom dress.
10. Watch Britcoms all day without hearing "Not Keeping up Appearances again!"

Poisoned!
2003-02-04 1:04 p.m.

My parents were in town last night for a mini vacation of a night at the Hotel Vintage Plaza and symphony tickets. I met them downtown after work and we had dinner at Pazzo Ristoraunte. Normally I'd recommend this restaurant but I seemed to have gotten food poisoning from my dinner. So I was up puking at 3:00am and now I'm curled up on the couch listening to my stomach scream, churn and cramp. Not very fun. Needless to say I didn't make it to the demo at my kung fu school. To while away the time between bouts of severe abdominal pain, I've been playing around at Swappingtons. Andrew, our beloved leader of Diaryland, has created a site where you can swap CDs, Books, DVDs, VHS and Video Games for "points" and then use those points to buy other people's crap. It's pretty cool. I'm sending a Smashing Pumpkin's CD to a guy in Canada on Monday. Hey, if you sign up tell them that "vicious" sent you.

Kung fu open house.
2003-01-24 1:15 p.m.

Hey, if you're going to be in Portland this Saturday you should stop by my kung fu school because we're having an open house from 12:00-1:30pm. There will be demonstrations with adults, kids and everyone in between. I've even heard rumors of refreshments being served. I'll be around taking pictures and answering questions.

What Portland Street Are You?

brought to you by Quizilla

SE 82nd Avenue - Cheap used cars, signs in foreign languages, and Wal-Mart.. You must be SE 82nd Ave. While some may call you Highway 213, you're just an everyday street going from the Airport in NE all the way to Clackamas in the SE. There's plenty of fast-food places and retail chain stores, but the employees seem to be sullen and don't look too friendly. Must be due to the roughly 500 taverns and bars in the area. Not the best part of town, but hey, it could be worse. Everyone from St. Johns could move over here.

Jackpot!

Something strange has been going on in the kitchen since Thanksgiving. Apparently the night after Thanksgiving Simon went to raid the refrigerator just as Loki was walking through the kitchen. When he opened the refrigerator door the plate holding the left over turkey tipped and dumped a bunch of leftovers on the floor. Loki, of course, thought this was great and leapt on the pile of turkey and started chowing down. Now he has great interest every time someone goes to open the refrigerator. It's like a turkey slot machine for him. You can practically hear his thoughts "C'mon turkey! C'mon turkey!"

Dem bones.
2003-01-21 11:09 a.m.

At work they are having a Health Fair today. I went down to check it out and picked up a ton of free literature and cute pencils with company logos on them. Spent some time talking to an ex-dead head who sells full spectrum light boxes, they are still a little pricey but I tend to get the winter blues so it might make a good investment. I paid $20 to get a bone density scan done as my mother was diagnosed with osteoporosis a couple of years ago. Yea! My bones are super hard and dense. In fact my bones are 30% better than the average of my age group. Whoo hoo. I owe it all to light weight lifting. Now if I can just keep it up for the next twenty years.

Silly cat link.

Kindertotenlieder, how sad.
2003-01-20 9:56 a.m.

Went to the Symphony on Saturday night and saw Nathan Gunn perform Mahler's Kindertotenlieder. During intermission I bought a couple of his CDs and had him sign them. He told me it was a very sad piece and was wondering if the liner notes in the program had the translation. Due to the fact that we had been drinking red wine on the 23rd floor of the Hilton Hotel before hand I had no idea what the program said so I looked like a tipsy bumbling idiot. But hey, I got some signed CDs by dishy baritone Nathan Gunn. Kindertotelieder is quite sad, as it's songs on the death of children. Upon review of the program it did not include the translation, however I found it online here.
