So I says "Surf's up space ponies! I'm making gravy without the lumps!"
Not too much to blog about. I've been spending the past few days w/my leg elevated and ice on my ankle. It's shrunk a lot but it's still big and bruised. The crutches suck because it's not easy to maneuver around our furniture, etc.
We have our 2nd set of basement waterproofers coming over tonight. (Yay... 2 hrs w/basement waterproofers on a Fri night. Paaaartaayyy... *rolls eyes*) The first ones came a couple days ago. Either way, it's going to be an ordeal. We have to tear out the drywall, paneling, almost all of the basement bathroom, including tub, etc., move all the stuff out of the basement area... (TO WHERE???? THERE IS NO PLACE TO PUT IT!), pull up flooring... This is all before they get here.
I made soaps the last few days. They turned out really cool! They're different colored, w/essential oils made in molds w/flowers and such.
I'm drinking a quad iced mocha! Woohoo!!! (I'm still tired tho!) And I don't know what to do today. I can't even drive. My hair stylist, who is also a friend, came and picked me up for my hair appt. since I couldn't drive there. That was cool!
I actually got online a few nights ago in Slacker. Was cool, as I haven't been on AIM in a while. Maybe I'll pop on tonight, but who's on Fri nights? (I plan to do it when the waterproofers are here! mwuahahaha!)
God, what a boring post!!! I'm still half asleep. I know it's almost noon... (Would that be considered "Peachy Mode"?)
Does ANYONE recognize where the title of this post came from? And who said it? It was one of my favorite lines when I first heard it. If I recall Hoops was really familiar w/it too. It was said by The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight, from "The Tick". (I have a plastic Tick and Arthur stuck to the sides of my monitor! :D )

Angry Chair (Really This Time!) Evil is A FOOT!!!
Interesting and painful day. I got up this morn and did a ton of grocery shopping. I think we have enough food for 2 months... Glad I got it done tho. After that I decided to make soap. Well, I haven't done it in a while, so I wasn't sure how much to melt to make 8 fancy flowery bars. So I melted what I thought I needed and ended up with a bar and 1/2 of soap. :-/
We got our new Panasonic phone and it rocks! I'm so happy! I can hear people! (Not dead people.) :D
Around 7:00 tonight I was mucking around on my puter, and I was getting up to leave and my stupid EVIL ANGRY executive chair spun, and my foot spun and snapped some other direction and I was on the floor screaming. I couldn't even stand the pain hopping on the other foot! My ankle swelled up the size of a baseball and turned black, and I was the only one home. (Makes me think I should get one of those "I've fallen and can't get up" thingys.) I finally found the phone and called my mother in law and she brought me to the ER. I couldn't even set my foot on a pillow it hurt so bad. I've sprained that ankle before, but I've never seen anything like this, and they thought it might be fractured, so I had x-rays. I had to wait several hours as there was a car accident or something. Triage you know. Anyhoo, no fractures, just a severely sprained ankle and micro torn ligaments. I'm aced and on crutches for quite a while now. Of course it's my driving foot!!! >-( Guess I'm not driving anywhere for a while. They told me that if it was fractured it actually would heal faster and easier. That was kind of odd because my bro-in-law said the same thing before I went in. So... OW. I'm not in much pain now 'cause they gave me a couple Vicodin along w/a huge ibuprophen. I wish they would have given me a script for Vicodin, as it works wonders. So I still haven't iced my foot or elevated it, but I will before bed. I'm still trying to get used to the crutches as I haven't been on any for a while. Complain complain piss moan etc. So it goes...

addendum: The Giant Toilet... (or heavy metal shit)
An addendum to my regular post:
Just a little blurb on something disgusting and wrong. I advise NO ONE to ever swim in Lake Michigan. Milwaukee just dumped 1.5 BILLION gallons of raw sewage into Lake Michigan because their antiquated system couldn't handle it. The holding tanks are not completely separated from the fresh water system and the rain filled up the system, so to prevent overflow... into the lake it went. 1.5 bil gallons of SHIT! One of Mr. Hype's co-workers was on the top floor of the US Bank building looking out the window, and he could see the big brown glob spreading out. They also interviewed a woman who lives by the lake (an upper floor condo I would guess), and she was wondering what all that brown junk was just off shore, and then she read it in the news. How disgusting! This has happened before, but not quite to this extent. Chicago has already complained in the past because this is polluting their waterfront. (They have the correct type of sewage/water treatment plant.) And we're less than an hour north of MKE... bleah... What makes all of this more deplorable is that they sit around arguing about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on ugly ART projects, (If any of you have heard about the giant t-shirt/over alls at the airport, you know what I mean...), when they need to spend that money on infrastructure!!! >-O
So, Lake Michigan is not only filled with mercury, it's full of raw sewage... Heavy metal shit...

Row Row Row Your Tractor... Revisited
It's been an OK weekend until this morning. I gave my piece of crap new phone to my mom to bring back, as I got it in GB, and ordered a better one online. Then I forgot to hook the other phone up to the kitchen phone hookup where the fax machine is, so everytime anyone called there was fax machine beeps in the background until I fixed that. Friday night Mr. Hype and I hung out and had some drinks. We had to celebrate Phlegmy's b-day, of course! :P (I hope you enjoyed the bloodies and Coronas vicariously Flem!) Anyhoo we had fun, but for some odd reason Mr. Hype had a bit of a hangover Sat. morn., which is odd because he NEVER has hangovers. I was just tired so I slept a lot Saturday.
Which brings us to this morning. We've had flood watches for days and haven't flooded... until now. The sump pump is driving me nuts again. At least the carpet is gone so it's not as big of a mess, but the water seems to have come in almost the entire perimeter of the basement. Mr. Hype just walked in here and said "This is not buena." (Too much Mucha Lucha I guess...) We have basement waterproofers coming a couple times this week for estimates etc. Each appt. is 2 hrs long or more. Fun fun fun... We still have a flood watch until midnight, so maybe we'll even flood more. BTW, Catboy, who in the hell wears brick shoes!?

I Hate Weak Espresso!
I've been in GB for a couple days. (Dr. appt... like I don't have enough of those!) The only issue is that I'm supposed to gain a few pounds. Now THAT isn't something that's happened to me too often in my life! lol! I've been trying to, but what's weird is that it's HARD and it isn't working! (And I think of all the times in my life that I've tried to LOSE weight!) Always one end of the spectrum to the other I guess.
I finally got a new phone yesterday! One of those 5.8 mhz types, and it was on sale because they're not selling that model anymore. It's hard to find a phone w/out an answering machine attached. This was one of the few. They had none left so they gave me the display model. My other phone just plain died. Period. It started one day a couple weeks ago when I was talking to Kay, and all of a sudden she's saying "I can't hear you!" I could hear her but she couldn't hear me. That continued so I had to call her on my cell. Then it started happening more and more, and started to have a dial tone only occasionally and the caller ID was going on and off. SO I threw in the trash yesterday and I'm waiting for the new one to finish charging so I can program it. (Aren't you excited that I blogged about that!?)
We're also having a little problem w/Zeros. He will NOT put his butt down when he pees in the catbox! We have cardboard covered w/garbage bags all around the cat boxes, but he hit about 6" in the air last night! I think the only solution is getting those covered cat boxes. What a neurotic.
I'm drinking an iced mocha right now and it sucks because when I was brewing the espresso, I put the water in for 4 cups and then realized I didn't have enough espresso to put in, so it came out weak. Bleah... Nothing worse than weak espresso. >-(
Mr. Hype has been in Chicago staying and working at La Maridian, (Don't shoot me for the spelling, I have no clue.), (where Oprah's guests stay!) He described his room to me and it sounded great! He said it was nicer than any hotel room we've ever stayed in other than Sybaris, which isn't exactly a hotel. He calls me up the first night and tells me he packed everything... EXCEPT HIS UNDERWEAR! Ack! How can someone forget that! That's the first thing I pack when I go somewhere!! He gets back tonight, and if he tells me he didn't buy any when he was down there I'm gonna kill him. When I was on the phone w/him, he said "I'll just wear these for 3 days." (I HOPE he was kidding!) I said "YOU WILL NOT!!!" Then he says "I'll shower with them on." GRRR! He said he didn't see any stores in the vicinity... He must be blind, 'cause he's on Rush Street and it's only a few blocks to a ton of stores. I told him to call the concierge to deal with it if he can't. (I just hope it doesn't cost $150 for a concierge to go get underwear!) UGH! MEN!!!
Well, back to my watery mocha...

President Bush Personally Gets In The Way Of My Day...
Good Friday everyone. It's raining here! Big surprise. Yesterday all up and down our neighborhood blocks, there was a LOT of carpeting on the curbs. Apparently tons of people have had basement flooding around here. The waterproofers are really busy.
Yesterday, my mom wanted me to go to some appreciation lunch given by the Salvation Army for people who donate. Well we got there, and some old guy thought we were, like, homeless and needed directions to the soup kitchen! And we were dressed pretty nice! *cries* When we got to the room we sat down and we were early because they were giving tours and we didn't want to go on the tour, so the first thing we saw were bowls of yellow, wilted, iceberg lettuce. And water glasses that weren't exactly clean. Everyone else there was over 80 yrs. old, I'm sure. The food was starting to not look too good, so we dashed out of there and went to a restaurant called the Mackinaw. Excellent grilled chicken and fries! This place is really wild. Literally. It's two stories and looks like a chalet and it's filled with stuffed animals. (Not teddy bears, the REAL kind!) Bears, ducks, deer, you name it. It wasn't tacky though. It was super nice. Sure beat the Salvation Army's wilted lettuce!
I was HOPING Mr. Hype would be home on time tonight, but it turns out they're doing a gig for the president, (they do a lot when he's in Milwaukee), and Mr. Hype is working on that and will be late again. Sounds like a pain because they have to work around all these secret service people and such. When Al Gore was campaigning 4 years ago, they did an outdoor gig for him, and there were snipers on top of EVERY BUILDING in downtown Milwaukee! (I don't think I'd want to work in that environment... Where people are armed to the teeth...) At least today's thang is indoors, so no snipers. So, if the pres wasn't speaking, (It's a college commencement speech today), Mr. Hype would be home on time, which would be the only day this week. (I'm glad I don't do Mr. Hype's job, because I'd probably throw tomatoes at the pres!) So Pres. Bush is ruining my evening!

Domestified...
My mother in law just called me to ask if I wanted this particular sweater for my b-day, and I said I couldn't say w/out seeing it, but what would be really great is a bag for the lawnmower. (HUH?!! THAT came out of MY mouth?!) The best I can figure, is I have been possessed by some weird domestic home improvement 'geist or banshee... (Geist I guess... banshee if smoking a cigarette counts... :P ) So I'm asking for lawn implements for my birthday. I have officially been DOMESTIFIED. A word I decided to add to the dictionary so to speak.
I will try not to talk about household problems, but that's all that's going on! I think my prior Haiku, (Which Byrdy said was good! :D ), pretty much described the disaster. I'm calling basement waterproofers tomorrow for estimates. *cringes* At least Mr. Hype got some of the wet moldy carpet out of the basement last night. Go figure there is ugly brown tile underneath it! Ugh... I am sick of talking about this. The forecast this week? Rain... *sings* "Row row row your tractor..."

"Swamp" or "The Money Pit"
...Singing in the rain... No... SHRIEKING IN THE RAIN!!!!! AAAIGH!!! We have had tons of rain and thunderstorms all night, still going, and it's supposed to go on all day. Of course, our basement is flooded... the carpeted side *sobs*. Mr. Hype left for work at 5:00am and he had taken the wet/dry vac apart several days ago, so I can't even vacuum it up. The sound of the sump pump is driving me insane... every 15-30 seconds. (Now I sound like Mr. Hype.) We have to get basement waterproofing contractors over for an estimate, and since we don't know who is good, I guess I'll call Jordan, our trusty city engineer again and ask who is good. My kitties are downstairs looking all confused as to why their area is over an inch deep in water. :-/
Well, we could always do what some Hmongs did years ago when they moved into an apartment complex a block down from ours. They lived on the 2nd floor, and they planted a RICE PADDY in their living room area. Of course after a while, the floor caved in on the people below them. *snicker* We could plant a rice paddy right now, easily. I know I will be insane (OK more insane) within about an hour of hearing the sump pump constantly kicking in. It's like a metronome... *sings* "I am a human metronome... I live inside my telephone..." Old song from a band called Einstein's RICEboys actually.
Congrats to Byrdles on her graduation! :D Lucky girl!

Bats, An Hour In The Life Of The Jaklynator, And Stuff...
Alright, everyone seems to think I'm odd for wanting bats. My dad made me a bat house and I have yet to put it up. It will go at the end of the backyard (by the lake). The height has to be precise and then I have to hope and pray we get bats. Why bats you say? The answer is very simple: MOSQUITOES! With the on and off standing water in the backyard, it's a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and bats eat more mosquitoes than anything. And contrary to what lots of people say, bats aren't icky or anything! There have been cases of West Nile in Chicago last year, which isn't that far, and w/the water in the backyard... BRING ON THE BATS!!!
Less than an hour in the life of the Jaklynator: First let me say that the office/den is attached to the family room. My sister was writing a one page letter to a relative, and she heard this whooshing sound, and went into the family room, and Jakl had gotten ahold of a roll of parchment paper, which she, of course unrolled and was running around the family room with. After my sister got that cleaned up, she went back to writing her letter, and shortly Jakl comes in with white stuff pouring out of her mouth and all over her hands. Looked like chalk. ALTOIDS! She got ahold of Altoids and shoved a bunch in her mouth and they were all over the floor and the dogs were eating them (which is good because they have bad breath!). So, my sister cleaned up Jakl, and went back to her letter, then Jakl comes into the den w/a devilish look on her face and my sister walks into the family room, and Jaklyn had unraveled and made a huge mess of a roll of scotch tape, which had to be thrown out. So, back to the letter she goes, and Jakl walks in shortly thereafter with dark brown stuff all over her face, in her mouth, all over her hands. Earlier my sister was making cookies, and apparently the m&ms were in Jaklyn's reach, and she shoved a fist full in her mouth. So my sister cleans that up, and Jakl couldn't stand the taste of them, so she stuck her tongue out and wanted my sister to wash her tongue too. My sister took a short break and when she got back to the den, had found that Jaklyn grabbed her pen and colored her hands in (again, she's done that before), and had smeared it all over everything. At that point my sister gave her a nice big lunch and put her down for a nap. I am most DEFINITELY not cut out to be a parent! I couldn't deal w/all of that in the span of less than an hour!!! Ayiyiee! So, for the record, I have great respect for parents and am glad I'm just an Auntie!!!
Yesterday I was going to make soap, (fancy shmancy home made multi-colored way cool soap), that I used to make, and then realized that our stove was too fancy shmancy to do it! Well, not fancy shmancy, just that it has a completely flat surface. I wanted it because I thought how easy it would be to clean w/no burners on top. Well, yeah, but if I spilled melted soap chunks on it, it would probably be impossible to get off w/out scratching the surface. :-/ Maybe my mom will let me do it at her house some time. It's lots of fun if you don't mind making a disastrous mess in an entire room and on yourself.
So today, I'm doing some heavy duty cleaning. Yuck. Yuck. I found my recipe for Biscotti from Attenzione magazine from 1980! I was looking all over for it! I may make that today as well. Being this domestic is freaking me out, but at least I'll cook dinner tonight so Mr. Hype and I won't have to have oatmeal again! ;D
I'm looking forward to taking a class again in the fall. Unfortunately, I think it will be sadistics. :-/ But at least I'll be doing something besides trying to figure out what to do around here and drinking too many double iced mochas! (Not to sound like Catboy, but *twitch*)
Quiz I found on Nessa's blog:
You are most likely to be the Vampire
Chevalier!
The Chevalier personifies the vampire that acts
with noble intentions, despite what it is
capable of. Taking a conflicting nature and
resolving its issues, the chevalier both
embraces and yet keeps the vampiristic nature
in check; the hunt and taking of blood is
enjoyed greatly, yet is restricted to those who
willingly give, 'wrong-doers,' or is taken in
self-defense; its powers are also embraced
willingly, yet while it blatantly and proudly
uses them, those that harm are only used in
self-defense or in the defense of others. The
vampire charm is used in full, and the
chevalier appears as one of the most alluring
of all vampires, often lordly in appearance as
well. Because of the open embrace of its powers
and seemingly royal stature, the chevalier
often is an immensely powerful vampire.
Dominant personality trait: Pride
Dominant color: Gold
Fictional Vampire Examples: Meier Link ('Vampire
Hunter D: Bloodlust'), Jean-Claude ('Anita
Blake: Vampire Hunter')

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road
Got this from: http://geocities.com/minowa429/ courtesy of Ade.
Here are some new answers to the age-old question:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Julius Caesar "To come, to see, to conquer."
George W. Bush "We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here."
Al Gore "I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people."
Bill Clinton "I did not cross the road with that chicken. What do you mean by chicken? Could you define 'chicken', please?"
Pat Buchanan "To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American."
Martha Stewart "No one called to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the farmer's market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little birdie gave me any insider information."
Jerry Falwell "Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the 'other side.' That's what they call it- the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay, too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.'"
Robert Frost "To cross the road less traveled by."
Dr. Seuss "Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, The chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told!"
Ernest Hemingway "To die. In the rain. Alone."
Thomas Paine "Out of common sense."
Martin Luther King, Jr. "It had a dream."
Grandpa "In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us."
Barbara Walters "Isn't that interesting? In a few moments we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting and went on to accomplish its life-long dream of crossing the road."
John Lennon "Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace."
Aristotle "It is the nature of chickens to cross the road."
Saddam Hussein "This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it."
Ronald Reagan "What chicken?"
Captain Kirk "To boldly go where no chicken has gone before."
Mr. Scott "Cos ma wee transportoer beam was na functioning properly. Ah canna work miracles, Captain!"
Fox Mulder "You saw it cross the road with your own eyes! How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?"
Bill Gates "I have just released eChicken 2004, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook- and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of
eChicken."
Albert Einstein "Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?"
Buddha "If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature."
The Bible "And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, 'Thou shalt cross the road.' And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing."
Hope you all enjoyed that. Maybe it's not new to you, but it is to me! I loved it!

Burn Baby Burn...
Good Sunday to you all. I had a relatively uneventful weekend. We went grocery shopping. There is this bizarre phenomena that happens w/food around here. We go from having no food around and nothing to eat, to having no room in the fridge, tons of food, and it still seems like there's nothing to eat. I don't know how that happens.
Mr. Hype just left for the Mucky Duck w/his rents. I didn't feel up to it today. Besides, just about all the decent kinds of fish and seafood are so full of mercury that they're on a "do not eat" list. My dad sent me the official list and just about nothing is on the OK list. Some of the fish/seafood is ok only if it's caught a certain way! *I can see it at a restaurant... "Is your lobster either Spiny or Rock, and caught in the U.S. or Australia? And is your Albacore pole caught?" * Thing is, we're really all going to have to start doing these things because the threat of all these ingested toxins is much larger than most people think it is.
Lawn Wars w/the neighbors started yesterday. The first mowing of the year. I am going to do some minor landscaping... (OK I'm piling rocks in some areas and planting a little... no grading the yard or anything!), this year. I only wish we could paint our hideous vinyl siding. I can't get over the fact that they even made siding this color. (It's EXTREMELY dark brown!) I wish we could re-side it, but definitely not for a while.
... And last but not least, our local Perkins burned down! *sobs* I liked going there! The funny thing is... the only part of the building that DIDN'T burn down was the smoking section! Ahhh... the irony! (Which is like goldy or bronzy, 'cept it's made of iron...)
