Well..just remembered that I need to do two of these today but almost forgot….have been doing prep for the interview all day and am just about done…so, I thought I’d comment on a new article from the NY Times that basically says that everything that the Obama administration has said about Benghazi was true….not in the fever dreams of the right, of course, but all of the eyewitnesses who were interviewed said the same thing,,,that it was not an al Queada attack…it was a bunch of pissed off Libyans who were attacking because of blasphemy to Islam of some such nonsense….but, ole Issa just couldn’t believe it and went on the sunday shows saying it was still all lies…yadda, yadda…yeah, so we’re going to believe an arsonist, high school dropout and not the NY Times? Not me…Issa is just a waste of space that is wasting our money, too…geez…
December 29th
Well….it was another boring day yesterday and I didn’t do much but wash the car and run some errands…didn’t sleep well at all and again, not sure I need to talk about that….I did get to watch a lot of hockey and the start of the Michigan game but didn’t make it very far since the thing didn’t start until almost 10:30….and, what I did see, looked pretty poor…haven’t seen the score yet but I’m sure it was a bad loss…I do need to do some interview prep today but that is going to wait while I get the brain working with coffee and couch….not much to do today…just Lions and prep so it looks like another boring day…it was nice to have some of the snow melt yesterday but the temp has already started to fall with highs in the teens for the early part of the week…I am really tired of the cold and snow and we have 2 1/2 more months to go…more later…
Just one filler?
Well…just realized that I fell another one behind yesterday so I do need to do a filler since tomorrow will be taken up by interview prep and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do more than two…I did get the chance to wash the car today and put the top down running some errands which was fun…didn’t get anything else done, though, so that is a little depressing….man, just can’t think of anything to say right now….maybe in a little while…
Maybe some sports?
Well…still struggling with topics so I think I may just do one on some sports…maybe that will get my head cleared up a little…I do like the outdoor hockey that is going on in Detroit over the next few days…watched the GLI yesterday and it looked like they were having fun…the ice doesn’t look too good, though, and Michigan lost so they are playing in the third place game in a while that should be fun since they are playing State…and, the world junior tournament is going on this week, too and the US is in first place in their group…and Canada just lost in a shoot out..normally, I will root for the Canucks but not when we play them…the Wings have been pretty stinky lately but with Hank coming back tonight, it might be fun to watch…they need to start stringing together some wins or they might not make the playoffs for the first time since I have been following them….then, we have Michigan playing in their bowl game tonight, but what the heck is with the 10:15 start? Feels like one of the west coast swings that the Wings used to do and I’m sure I won’t make it through it…it is a cocktail night, after all….more later…
December 28th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I lost at pool for the 6th week in a row so that was not good…but okay…slept okay last night but the cocktails last night were a bit much and I feel a little crappy today…okay, maybe I didn’t sleep too well…I am really tired still so I guess it wasn’t as good as I think…didn’t do much after I got back here as you can see so I’ve gone farther behind and need to get it done today….part of the tiredness is the fact that I haven’t gotten the calorie intake right without being on the bike…I think I was under 1,000 cals yesterday and that is not enough…not much to do today..going to do laundry but that is about it…more later…
December 27th
Well…it was just another normal day yesterday…didn’t do much and slept okay…but now that I sit here and think, I really don’t remember much about the day….didn’t even clean at all and it looks like that won’t happen again today…since it is pool day and I’m just not motivated to start a project this morning…I do need to take some ibuprofen in a couple of minutes since my elbow seems to be getting worse again…and I have other random pains that are annoying me…not much to do today..pool, but then not much else will probably just veg with the tv later and then go to bed early from boredom as usual….maybe something exciting will happen to change that but I’m not holding my breath….more later…
Maybe things are looking up…
Well…with the drought of news that has been plaguing me for the past couple of weeks, I am still struggling for topics…probably as I should be after doing almost 2800 of these….but, today…I may just do this one on the glimmers of hope that I see on the job front..there have been many more positions to apply for and I even have an interview for Monday…that, in itself, is cause for some sort of celebration but I am tempering all of this with the fact that once they see me, there will be no chance of getting the job…they just aren’t going to hire someone my age….but, the interview should be fun….but, as I said before, it will mean less fun for me for the next couple of weeks until I find out whether the job happens…probably do me some good to take it easy for a few days…I do need to continue to send resumes until then but I think I’ll take today off and continue tomorrow…maybe even try to get caught up here since a job will crimp my time here some…would be nice to relieve some of the boredom, though…
December 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but with going over to K’s for a while and then having a cocktail night, I feel a little slow this morning…didn’t do much other than watch Doctor Who all day and cook a ham that will last me the next week or so…I do need to work out this morning since I skipped yesterday but that is about all I need to do…might go out for a couple with G later but that is about it…just can’t get motivated to do much else right now….so, I will go back to the couch and finish my coffee….more later…
Okay…think this one deserves an update since I did get a piece of good news today…finally have an interview after not getting one all year…for an ME job at a place called Challenge mfg…so I have to be good until after the interview Monday….
This is just wrong…
Okay…just read an article that illustrates how the anti abortion crusaders have taken away womens rights in this country and it just pisses me off…in Texas, a woman had a pulmonary embolism that rendered her brain dead, and the family wanted to carry out here living will wishes to take her off life support…but, right to life in Texas got a law passed that said a pregnant woman can’t be taken off life support even if the family wants it….even if the person has it in their will to have it done…the law supercedes their wishes…now, this woman went over an hour without breathing and as a result, the fetus did, too…so now, this family has to keep this body alive for the next 5 months until they can determine if the fetus is viable…I’ve got a clue for you…no oxygen for an hour killed the fetus’s brain, too…but these right wing asses in Texas don’t want government involved in their lives until it is a pregnant woman…then they take away all the rights of the mother to control her own life…shame on you Texas…geez…
December 25th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I again didn’t accomplish much…I did figure out what program was putting hyperlinks in all of my writing and websites that I read everyday…uninstalled it and all of the problems I have been having just disappeared…pretty cool…slept okay last night and feel okay today even with it being a cocktail night…the newspaper was so thin this morning it took about 5 minutes to read it and that is why I’m here so early…and I’m not sure why I paid a buck for it…I am going to try to get caught up today with three of these but, as always, I’m not sure what I’m going to write about…have all day to figure it out though…I did discover something pretty cool yesterday..was watching the old “Star Trek” series on Netflix and found that they have re-done all of the special effects to make them more modern…I wonder why? Looks pretty cool but the cheesy effects were what made the show…it does make it like a brand new series, though, so that is cool…not much to do today…I am looking forward to the “Doctor Who” specials today…the last with Matt Smith who I like as the doctor…not sure about the new guy they chose…should have been Simon Pegg….more later…
