Kung fu camp excitement!
2002-10-25 1:42 p.m.

They just published the schedule for kung fu camp. I'm giddy with excitement and don't know how I'm going to be able to train all the things I want to. I have a couple of vacation days I can take which I might do on Thursday and Friday to get the most out of my training. I'm very exciting about the qigong, yoga, arnis and standing wrestling in the street. Whee! I need to start taking my vitamins and protein supplements now.

Oh dear.

I went to the dentist yesterday afternoon. They took the x-ray of my entire jaw, where the big X-ray machine whirrs all the way around your skull as you sit really still. Well my x-ray came out with an "artifact" on it around my chin area at the root of the teeth. Now this could either be some sort of x-ray glitch, like some fluid spilled on the film or I have some horrible disease or growth on my jaw. We took another x-ray which came out completely black. (do vampires x-ray?) It was their last piece of x-ray film that they had to borrow from another dentist. So I have to go back next week and get the x-ray redone. On the upside I have no cavities.

Early morning sniper news alert.
2002-10-24 10:10 a.m.

At one o'clock this morning Simon runs into the bedroom screaming: "They caught the sniper and he's from Tacoma!" I barely remember waking up and wondering why this warranted me being woken up in the middle of the night. I mean, yeah, I grew up in Tacoma but we have lots of wackos in the West coast. Simon has been glued to CNN since the middle of the night. I've been checking the website each time I get a breaking news alert. I'm glad they caught him. I was disappointed that my sniper profile was not right on. I guess I won't be recruited by the FBI any time soon.

I think I need to relax at the Zen Cat Box Garden. (make sure you change the litter!)

The ER is my second home.
2002-10-23 10:34 a.m.

Spent the evening at the Kaiser emergency room for Simon. He was one sick puppy. I've never met anyone who can puke more than that boy can. It's almost an art form for him. After a couple of bags of IV fluid and a GI cocktail he's better and at home. Of course I only got about five hours of sleep last night so I'm running purely on coffee. I think between the two of us we should get some frequent flier miles as Kaiser; six ER visits in one year and your seventh one is free! Or at least a free X-ray or complimentary MRI.

How I feel today.
2002-10-22 12:20 p.m.

I signed up for kung fu camp in November last night. I'm excited to see the schedule of classes. I also have three days of vacation I can take in November so I'm trying to figure out which would be the best days to take them. Of course, I also have a week of free parking from November 21-27 in my CEO's personal parking space that I really want to take advantage of too.

10 days until NaNoWriMo. I'm excited, nauseous, and terrified. Emotions provided by Eric Conveys an Emotion.

Damn spam.
2002-10-21 1:13 p.m.

My quality of life has just recently improved. I've been getting about 50 spams a day from my diaryland e-mail account. I have it forwarded to my yahoo account. What really infuriates me is that the e-mails always say "You are receiving this e-mail because you signed up with one of our affiliates." Liar liar pants on fire! My dland e-mail address is on my webpage and in other people's guestbooks. That's it. I've never used it for anything else. They got my e-mail address from a harvesting 'bot that scanned dland for e-mail addressed. Grrrr. Recently yahoo has been putting ***SPAM*** in all the subject lines of mail that it considers spam. So I filtered all incoming e-mails with SPAM in the subject directly to my trash can. Now I don't have to delete them every day. I no longer have to decide whether or not I want bigger boobs, a larger penis, oversea drugs, a free insurance quote or a free membership to the new animal incest website. All of it goes directly to trash and I never have to read an annoying subject line again. OK, that's not true, about 1% of spam still escapes the filter but at least it's a whole lot less. I feel so liberated.

NaNoWriMo countdown.
2002-10-21 10:01 a.m.

Eleven more days until NaNoWriMo. That's National Novel Writing Month for those of you who aren't as internet obsessed as I am. I think I will write the sequel to my first unfinished NaNoWriMo book. Maybe that will inspire me to go back and finish the first one and get them published. Then I can quit my job so I can write in the morning and do kung fu at night. *sigh*

Yesterday was dark and dreary with just a bit of drizzly rain. I had a bit of a headache so I spent most of the day curled up on the couch with a quilt and fluffy blankets and watched way to much television. I have decided that I definitely like Firefly and that Nathan Fillion is dishy. A nice way to waste a lazy Sunday.
