Shadow Gods

The feral population continues to dwindle: Matador met his fate day before yesterday. He was called Matador because of his way of making the least amount of movement to escape being hit by oncoming cars. Obviously he got his last Olé, in a Manolete kind of way. Very sweet and dumb cat. I miss him.

Looking for Mr. D. I talked to his dad yesterday but still haven't tracked him down. Several times in conversation his dad noted the fact that the kids are prone to build up "A MESS". As in: "Let me find a pen in all this MESS the kids left. Of course, you understand, they are children so they MESS everything up. Oh, my God, what a MESS". This was repeated in interchangeable forms during the conversation. So, Mr. D., you are a messy dad.

Lots of work in different ways, two day jobs plus two freelancing ones. No days off.

Thanks to G for the real estate advice. It is good to shoot the shit with someone who thinks clearly.

L: remember April 10. In fact: remind me on April 9. I want those Ozzfest tickets.

I am going to tear up the bases and free myself. I no longer love the house I bought, it is giving me too much undeserved grief. I am paying $450/month for a house I have not moved in yet because the contractor hasn't fixed the electrical system(I have been waiting for this since December), somebody threw a stone through a glass pane in the front door, the neighbors are the shits AND to make this all even funnier, the guy who mows the lawn has now become a stalker: leaving messages with a time stamp of 4 AM. I have done absolutely nothing to encourage this attitude and it has pissed me officially off. Call me chicken but I really don't care enough to fight it.

"Come a little closer now
Pretentious whore and pull my trigger
Free the violence that is building in me
I say now end of the ride, murder suicide
Is how I've been feelin' that I can't ignore
And the need to get psycho
Is not a question to me"

Ozzfest will be my outing this year. I have been to the US twice now and not visited L, so I will make it up for her this year. Also, I want to check out Black Label Society, Ozzy before he realizes he is already dead, Zakk Wylde, Slayer, Zakk Wylde, Lacuna Coil and Ozzy's fine guitarist and all around Adonis, Zakk Wylde. Finances are stretching a little, I had never had a negative balance on a banking account and it's making me worry. I have to cover that account, close my eyes and SLIDE!

That means I will most probably miss Horrorfind. Bums me out big time...

Doing the newsletter again. That's not fun. Sleeping too much and wasting too much time doing nothing on my few days off. I will log off, like RIGHT NOW! Don't worry I will be back in about 4 hours, tops...

Dolor en España

.Amid the chaos, cellphones tucked into the pockets of victims rang incessantly -- apparently frantic callers checking on friends and loved ones as news spread of the bloody attack.



I feel rage at this. Absolute rage, the same rage I felt in September 2001. Even more, because I know this time few people outside Spain care. This time, nobody will do anything about it. But Spain is strong, they will survive this new Guernica

One of the kitties got killed twice day before yesterday (yes, twice, first car runs over him, he flops in agony until second car finishes him off). I saw it all and what hurt me more was the interim between cars. Weird thing is I did not shed tears then, just this morning when I found out that my favorite old haunted house around here is going to be torn down to make way for an office building. Going to buy a camera, take pictures and maybe try to get an inside look at it before it dies. *sigh*

This is sweet news. The original true to Seasons in the Abyss Slayer lineup. I am thinking about the remotest chance to fly to Tampa to see them...

Happy, happy joy joy! The 46% became a 69% and the C goes all the way down to 65 so officially, I have a C in Statistics, not an F. In comparison there were 3 A's, 3 B's, 9 C's, 1 D and 10 F's, I am doing just average (better than average considering it has been 12 years since I took Calculus III) I will go sleep now, tomorrow morning I have my first C++ test. ZZzzzzz.....

I have learned two things today: I have 14:55 minutes of fame left AND there is filmic evidence that I have faked salsa moves in tight black shoes, dingy white gloves and an atrocious pink dress. I won't comment on the quality of Havana Nights. I have seen worse, *cough, *cough*...

Scariest thing read today: "And if you ever want to hear gnarly stories about what happens when a titanium turbine fan blade detaches from its housing at 30,000 RPM and shoots into the airplane cabin, ask me sometime." Gothic Net's Darren journal

Classes are going half good, half bad. The programming class is going great, scored a 100% in an unannounced quiz. The statistics class, however, is going bad, bad, bad, studied two weeks and I don't think I will get more than 46% on the first test. Anyways, that class is one of those that doesn't have any bearing or importance on the rest of your major. I will try to get a C so I don't have to take it again.

Economics: House-$446 Car-$237 Monthly total: $683. Crunching numbers and exploring possibilities...

Working on a newsletter and a photo touch up. This week means all work no play...
