I got off of work and made it to Jason's house by 12:30. He's got the day off, and I figures I'd probaby sit and watch him play video games. But when I showed up, he said, "hey! I'm going to take a shower, and then we should go out and eat and do something! We haven't gone out in a while!" Which really brightened up my weekend. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Emmu: "what's the yellow part?"
Jason: "Oh, that's stanima. That's their stanima."
Emmu: *snigger*
Jason: *oblivious* "The blue is for mana. You use the stanima when you're fighting, kind of like the mana. Your stanima runs down while you're fighting. The stanima is important."
Emmu: *gives up and breaks down laughing*
Jason: "what? What is it? Stani- stam- stamina? Stamina? Oh, shut up." Posted via LiveJournal.app.

All these amazing, interesting things happen to me when I'm not in a position to post about them. And then, when I can post, I end up writing something like... I had to get out of my shower to poop, this morning. That's how bad tater tots can be. I feel this gives the wrong impression of my life. It really is more exciting that you think.

Jason: "Geez, you want me to pick you up, drive you to get food, carry your bag... I bet you want me to let you out of the car too, huh? And unlock the door to my house!"
Emmu: "you signed up for it! it was in your contract when you became my boyfriend."
Jason: "no, there's a clause about this stuff."
Emmu: "Yeah, there was, but we had to get it declaused." Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Jason's telling me about the spell Cone of Cold. It is just making me want ice cream though. Athlete's foot brings up unpleasant images, so you would assume Athlete's body is like, 20 times worse. Apparently this is not so. A lot has happened lately. Maybe i'll write about it. Maybe not. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Long story short: my roommate sucks, my Internet is off, I'm sitting in panera using the Internet and waiting for Jason to get off work. I'm trying to read my webcomics. Xkcd is blocked due to "other" but redmeat is available. Marriedtothesea is blocked due to "sexual themes" but wapsisquare is available. What the crap? Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Just like I was afraid, last month's check and this month's check both went through at the exact same time. Luckily, I got my paycheck just a little earlier. Otherwise I would have been withdrawn. Yeah, I didn't really pay too close to my bank balance last month. I assumed the check didn't take 4 weeks to clear, and thought I had extra money for giftmas presents. Hey! I keep waking up every few hours with an agonizing Charlie horse in my calf. Leg! Get your act together! Horses and cows do not go in the same stable! My leg is very unstable.

I've been watching a lot of The Universe lately. They go on about how stars die, and implode, and then explode, and spread gasses and debris everywhere. A gravitational pull in the center of the cloud causes this debris and gas to slowly pull together, forming planets and moons and a new star. Solar systems are formed from debris that spins around a gravitational center of a galaxy, full of thousands of other stars and solar systems. These sometimes collide, mixing gasses and debris, creating new Solar systems. These galaxies, as well, circle around a gravitational center, and sometimes collide, smashing stars and swapping planets, dust, gas and debris. And it goes on. Things die, and their debris forms new things, and everything orbits something else. And new solar systems and galaxies spring up, expanding and contracting and exploding and imploding and colliding. And the farther in space you look, the farther back in time you're looking, because of lightspeed. So we look waaay back and see that everything began with a huge expansion. The farthest back a can see tells us that the entire universe expanded from an impossibly small unit, and is still expanding. But we don't know what caused this, or what happened before. Doesn't anyone else see a pattern here? For one thing, just because the farthest we can see shows nthing, doesn't mean we're looking at the center of everything. Couldn't a universe be just like a solar system or a galaxy? A graviational group circling along with other universes? And so on? Down to the tiniest measures of units, we see things orbiting other things. So I think that what we had before the Big Bang was just more universe. I think it contracted and then exploded again. And because it's so big, it's happening over a much longer period of time, longer than the creation of a galaxy or a star. Long enough that those things have time to be born and die within it, while it's still being created. Space is pretty awesome, guys. And I do mean "awesome". Posted via LiveJournal.app.

It's 3 am. As usual for 3 am, I keep haunting myself with my worst fears. I'm lying in bed at Jason's house. Because of work, I've had to be here for the past four days ((I worked earlier than the busline ran). I left margo plenty of food and water. But what if it wasn't enough? What if she's starving, or dehydrated? What if she's lonely? How can I leave her like that? What if she died while I was gone, and I wasn't there for her? What if it was something I could have prevented? I know I shouldn't torture myself with this stuff. But it's hard, when you become so emotionally attached to someone who only has maybe 1/8th of your lifespan. Someday, margo will leave me. But I don't know how I will ever get over it. There will never be another margo. I feel like I'm not giving her enough. She deserves more freedom, she deserves to have an owner who sees her every day. I want to move out of my crappy basement and get a place with Jason where I can get to work. I can't keep bouncing between our housesnlike this. Maybe it's not the stability of margo's life that concerns me, but my own. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

I feel bad leaving margo alone all day, or overnight, or for any length of time. I feel like she gets bored and lonely down here. There's little I can do about the loneliness; if I get rid of the gate that seperates the upstairs and downstairs, the dog relieves himself everywhere. But I try to do something about the boredom. I have bought margo no end of toys. I try to hide treats. I leave things dangling off the edge of the desk. But none of it seems to entertain her. The only thing she ever plays with is my hand. I realize this is probably a trait margo got from me. No matter how many computers, tv's, books, iPods, and notebooks I have, I always seem to be bored if i'm not with someone else.

Power just went out. Literally. Just as I picked up my iPod to start writing an entry about why my current apartment situation sucks. I no longer feel the need to write such an entry. Some things, complaining just doesn't make you feel better. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

9pm, Sunday: Laura, my roommate: "we're getting the fireplace inspected! We'll probably need to get it cleaned before we can use it, I dunno."
Emmu: "great!" 8:30 am, monday: I awake to the sound of a vacuum cleaner about as loud as an air compressor. I ask my other roommate, rob, what's going on. Rob: "They're cleaning out the fireplace."
Emmu: "at 8:30 in the morning?"
Rob: "Uh, duh. They told us they'd be here between 8:30-9." Obviously the "us" that "they" told didn't feel it was worth mentioning to the person that sleeps below the fireplace. I am really, really coming to hate my roommates. Also, I went to make myself a quesadilla and discovered that somehow, an entire bag of shredded cheese that I hadn't used yet was missing. And my mozzarella was left open. THANKS. GUYS. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Last night I made a cheesecake and substituted the sour cream with coffee yogurt. Today it is ready to eat! It tastes like very creamy coffee yogurt. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Earlier, margo kept sneezing on my veggie crisps. Which are like potato chips but veggie, in case you didn't know. So I gave her those ones, but she showed no interest in them. Well, now she's crunching them up into margo-sized chunks. I wish she'd learn to chew with her mouth closed. I'm trying to sleep here- Oof. She just jumped onto me from the couch. I guess crunching break is over and it's time to go back to cuddling. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Apparently margo goes crazy over creamy cucumber and dill flavored veggie crisps. She is licking my fingers as a type. Here's why I like my coworker Ed... Our conversation ended like this:
Ed: "it looked like a dog. But like, I knew it wasn't a dog, yanno? It was like a big tall fox. But skinny. Real skinny. With a fox face and a bushy tail. It ran across the street."
Emmu: "sounds like a coyote, Ed."
Ed: "yeah, but a coyote? In the city? I don't know, that's all, I just can't say." Our conversation began like this: Ed: "You ever heard of the Chupacabra?"
Emmu: "The mythical goat-stealing demon of Mexico?"
Ed: "yeah, I guess. Well..." Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Sorry, roasted Brussels sprouts! You are delicious, but boiled Brussels sprouts are even more delicious! My biggest concern is that they are so delicious, I want to cook and eat them all right now. Eating just one sprout is rather unsatisfying. But I will restrain myself. There will be plenty of food tomorrow, and I'm sure after everyone stuffs themselves with steak, there will be sprouts left over. Also mashed potatoes. Mmm. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Tomorrow is DnD. It is the beginning of the second chapter of the campaign, which is exciting. What's more exciting, though, is the menu! I got up at 7:30 this morning. First thing, ribeye steaks come out of the freezer and into the fridge. Hoping they will fully thaw by tomorrow afternoon. Next, I need to decide on a recipe for the brussel sprouts. Normally, I would just steam them. But we have no steamer. I looked up some recipes, and am torn between boiling or roasting them. I've never roasted brussel sprouts, but it sounds tasty. So, I took two out; one to boil, one to roast. I'll try them both and see what works better. If I like both, I guess I could always just do both. Next is a good recipe for garlic mashed potatoes. Really, I don't need a recipe for that. But I'm interested to see what I can find. Lastly will be the cheesecake, which I'm not even certain I'm going through with. After all, this is a damn heavy meal already. But I've got all these cheesecake ingredients... But we'll see. Oh! I also have to finish writing the session. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

On a more serious note, I think I am completely ready to handle the responsibility of a management position, and am excited by the concept of jumping up in the ranks (and wages). I shouldn't get too excited yet, of course. BUT I CAN BE A LITTLE EXCITED. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

I got up at 8 this morning, fully rested. I don't work until 3:30. So I have a nice, relaxing morning to hang around with Margo and watch Mythbusters. We had tuna for breakfast, after a 20 minute struggle with the mayonnaise jar. The humor was not lost on me, fighting with a cap with a sticker on it saying "New! Easy open cap!" I eventually got it open by slicing off the cap with a steakknife. And speaking of steakknives, I had to have steak for lunch. I HAD NO CHOICE. I had one steak left from my steak party with Miku, and 5 in the freezer for dnd next Thursday. But I ran out of freezer paper and couldn't fit the 6th one in. I couldn't let it go to waste. I know I may sound crazy. I bought the last 11 boneless ribeye steaks from the sale. I spent nearly 70 dollars all together. I don't even really have that kind of money right now. But on the other hand, I have had delicious, inexpensive steak meals 4 times in the past two weeks. My lunch today was mashed potatoes, iced tea, and a steak that was nearly a pound (0.89 lbs) in weight. It cost me, altogether, less than 7 dollars. This same meal at Outback Steakhouse would cost me 17.99. Actually, I did the math for the dnd dinner: it is costing me around 33 dollars, including drinks, potatoes, even the butter. For 5 people. Total price. Outback price (including tax, tip and drinks): approximately 140 dollars. That is 107 dollars of money saved. And they are paying me back for the meal. How to eat expensive cheaply! Man, I doubt I will ever get so lucky again. Posted via LiveJournal.app.
