Car seems to be running fine now that I topped off the coolant so not bringing it into the shop today. The reserve coolant tank has a very small leak right at the top were a fitting is. Going to pickup some epoxy and see if I can fix the leak otherwise I'll just have the tank replaced later this week but at least now I know what the problem was.

Yesterday started off so good and then I went to dinner with a few friends where we drank a couple of bottles of white wine. Normally white wine doesn't affect me badly but for some odd reason we all ended up very drunk followed by headaches from hell. All very strange as it was someplace that we eat at ll the time and the wine was the same wine that we usually order. None of us had eaten all day so maybe that was it.

So since I had a really bad headache I tried the new headache meds that the doctor gave me. It is called Imitrex and you spray up your nose. Didn't really help the headache at all but it did give me the shits really bad and made me feell like I had drank about 20 cups of coffee.

Anyway the headache ruined my plans for the rest of the evening as I was suppose to go out clubbing with a few friends and instead took something to help me sleep and went to bed.

I have some errands to do today and then just a day of work planned today. If I get done with everything early enough I may hit the beach late this evening.

After shooting last night in a much too small of an area I finally went ahead and bought the wide angle zoom lens that I've been wanting for awhile. I love shooting with wide lenses with the way they exaggerate perspective. Also in tight areas they are really the only way to get the whole scene in the shot.

So I bought the Tokina Super-Wide Angle Zoom AF 12-24mm f4.0 Autofocus Lens for my Nikon Digital Camera.

Naturally since I bought something expensive today my car decides to overheat this afternoon. Temp gage went into the red and lots of lights and bells went off. I was right around the corner from Angel's house so I pulled in and let the engine cool off and then drove it straight home. When I got home I let it cool all the way off and it was low on coolant which means it either has a coolant leak or something else caused it to overheat and loose coolant. In any event I'm going to take it in first thing next week and see what's up with it. I'm sure it will be something expensive and annoying to get fixed since it's a Vette despite it being just really a plastic Chevy.

It's that time of day again. Birds are singing, sun is shinning, espresso is brewing, cats want food.

Spent most of yesterday until sometime this morning shooting for FoxyAngel.

I hurt, my back hurts, my arms hurt, my neck hurts, my fingers hurt, my legs hurts, my brain hurts, I'm sure that some part of my body doesn't hurt but I've yet to find it.

Going to do something very relaxing today like float around in my neighbor's pool or go to the beach if the weather stays nice. Anything that doesn't involve a camera or naked people sicking body parts into wet openings.

Went out a watched naked woman hustle for little bits of dirty paper until late last night.

Woken up early this morning by my neighbor who needed a ride from the Porsche repair place on the other side of town. We had stayed up pretty late playing with the money powered naked woman at the strip club so I was a bit hung over and sleep deprived trying to drive there and find the place to pick him up. Took him to a gay restaurant up the street from where we live for breakfast where I spilled my coffee all myself, the table and pretty much everything else with five feet of where we were sitting.

Ended up meeting with a friend over at the Gallery Mall where I bought some new tops, jeans, and other stuff. Somehow I also got all of today's work done before passing out on the couch and getting some much needed rest.

Now I'm wide awake and looking to do something so interesting or at least somewhat entertaining.

Had to get up early and have my blood sucked at the doctor's office. I really think that they enjoy sticking needles in caffeine deprived half asleep people way too much.

Yesterday the doctor prescribed something new for my to try for the migraines that I get. It's called Imitex 20mg nasal spray and wow is it expensive. After a very long phone call to my insurance company they finally agreed to pay for most of it but only a max of six doses per month so hopefully I will be getting six or less migraines per month. Will not know how well it works until I get a migraine and spray it up my nose.

Did the gym after ingesting a bucket of espresso. Then did some of the things that I was suppose to do yesterday since everyone that I had an appointment with rescheduled for other days this week.

FoxyAngel got a little loving from Jesus on one of our shoots.

See you all in hell I guess...

Bunch of stuff to do today like going to the doctor, meeting with contractors, plus a late day business/social brunch with an old friend.

Looking to be a nice a sunny day today. So far we are having a really great summer with mild temps and no hurricanes. Suppose to do an outdoor shoot tomorrow so I'm expecting the nice weather will end today.

Blue skies here this morning.

Just a day of working planned for today with a chance of afternoon shopping.

Went to dinner last night with my neighbor and a few other friends over at Galanga. Dinner was nice and we all had a good time. The look on my neighbor and his girlfriend's face was priceless when we all ended up and Angel's place after dinner and the Tgirls were naked getting ready to hit Voodoo Lounge.

I've gotten so lazy about going out and shopping for anything except clothing. Today I ordered car charger fro my cell phone online and then ordered a bunch of makeup and stuff from Sephora online instead of driving a few blocks and going to the mall. Guess it is a good thing that clothing needs to be tried on or I would never go out and shop anymore.

Did next to nothing yesterday since it was a stormy nasty day out. Was going to hit the malls on the west side of town but then a big truck jackknifed on one of the major highway ramps that connects the east side with the west side of town closing it for most of the day.

Hit the beach first thing today after waiting forever at the drawbridge to get there while the Goodyear blimp cycled around overhead. Beach was nice as always but I'm a bit sun burnt now.

Spent the rest of the day looking at contemporary furniture. Found two places with stuff that I really like and prices that weren't too bad. I'm really sick of my two couches and a few other pieces that I have so I've been looking around trying to decide what to replace everything with. I'm not a big fan of leather but with four cats that leave hair all over the place and puke up hair balls will probably end up getting leather since cloth just doesn't seem to work well with keeping cats.

Hit the strip clubs last night with my neighbor. For some odd reason the dances always seem to think I'm his wife and worry that I'm going to get jealous or something. It is kind of fun fucking with their heads about it. The club by us has added acrobats that perform over the dancers on ropes, swings, and strips of cloth that is pretty kewl to watch.

Did the gym this morning and now I've not a fucking clue what I'm doing the rest of today. I feel I need some away time from work but the sky is black and lightening is going off all over the place. It isn't raining yet but I'm expecting it will be raining from hell soon.

The Battlestar Galactica season three trailer has me really looking forward to the new season.

Got my teeth cleaned this morning and then went over to my neighbor's place to get his DirecTV Tivo's, Dish Network, Kaleidoscape and alarm system working with Vonage.

Other than that just a day of doing web work. Really kind of an uninteresting but very busy day.

Having dinner with my neighbor this evening and then whatever happens to come along.

DId the gym today and wanted to hit the beach but while it never actually rained the sky was very dark and lightening was going on so I skipped the beach for today.

Watched the new show Eureka on the SciFi channel last night. I was really hoping it would be something that entertained me. The trailer for this coming season's Battlestar Galactica that aired during Eureka was good anyway.

Sadly the really bad 1960s movie Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine that my TiVo caught the other night was far more entertaining then Eureka was. Eureka is still on my Tivo's to do list but after watching last night I don' hold out much hope.

On the plus side I caught Dead Like Me before Eureka came on and found it rather entertaining.

Went to the beach first thing this morning before the heat and afternoon rains got here.

I love when the ocean is like this. Sat and watched the surf for about a hour and then went in the water and floated on my back for another thirty minutes or so.

The afternoon rains are almost here but often they don't actually make it as far east as I am but the clouds do really cool off the afternoon temps anyway.

Going to spend the rest of the day working and maybe having dinner with a few friends.

Was woken up by a dove flying into my head. Wow that is a weird way to wake up. Caught the dove, it was mostly in one piece with no obvious mortal wounds, and threw it out the front door and it flew away seamanly fine. Cleaned all the feathers scatted around the house and wondered which one of the furry little monster that I live with caught it.

Been feeling run down the last few days. Not sure if it is the heat getting to me or if my body just needs a rest. Hopefully I'm not coming down with something. Did the gym despite lacking energy and spent the rest of the day working.

I'm thinking of hitting the beach tomorrow morning before the day's heat sets in. Probably some salt air and rest will do me good.

Another beautiful but hot day here.

Went to the movies and saw Superman Returns with Angel and Poison. The movies was surprisingly good.

Other than that noting else very exciting. Got my car washed and had to wait in line for about 30 minutes. Normally I would have just done it another time but with all the nasty weather we have been having it was really filthy. I guess everyone else felt the same way and that is why it was so crowed.

Going to hit the bed early tonight and go to the gym early tomorrow.

Just a day of going to the gym, working, and whatever else blows up my ass planned planned for today.

Was listening to a remake of Tell Me Why at the gym. It brought back a lot of memories as there was a version by Bronski Beat. Bronski Beat was a group that I listened to a lot in a relationship that I had with someone so many years ago that I still think of a lot.

May go down to the beach late this afternoon after the crowds and afternoon heat has subsided if it doesn't start raining.

Wow it is hot today! Today would be a gym day but I took advantage of today's nice weather and hit the beach for a couple of hours.

Ocean was still pretty rough from all the storms we've had. A few people, mostly woman, were surfing using small surf boards. I know there is a name for these type of boards but I can't think of what it is. It does look like a lot of fun. Wonder where I could learn how to do it?

It's good that the rains have stopped and was able to get a little beach time in but OMG is it hot outside today.

Relaxed istening to Portishead but there was just too much seaweed to really enjoy going in the water.

Not much else planned for today other then working. Shoot last night got cancelled again since the other model couldn't make it until very late at night so will probably do the shoot sometime next week.

Just a day of work planned for today. Never did the shoot for Angel last night so suppose to do the shoot tonight but I would not be surprised if it got put off again.

My music for working out to was getting old so I spent sometime yesterday buying a bunch of new stuff and cleaning out what had gotten stale from my iPod's gym mix. Still some songs in there that need to be removed but going to listen to it at the gym one more time first. My latest gym mix

Damn, I just can't get my sleep cycle adjusted back to normal and I'm still falling asleep and waking up way too early.

Did the gym thing today and waiting now for the electricians over at my neighbor's place again this afternoon. It's a beautiful house and all but it's pretty boring just sitting there waiting for people.

Went by Sports Authority and bought a Fitness Ball. Angle has a few in her office and I really enjoy working out on them sometimes. So now I have a big red ball in my office too.

Suppose to shoot a jail scene late tonight for Angel. Some guy that she really likes to fuck is in town and he works for free as long as his face is covered up so I guess it is going to be a fucking Angel in jail kind of night.

Really wanted to sleep in this morning but I'm still all messed up from having to get up so early this weekend.

Spent all afternoon hanging at my neighbor's place as he is out of town and contractors are doing work on his house. It's a very nice house to be stuck in but about the only thing to do over there is use the pool or watch TV and between the rain and the yard people choosing today to do all his gardening and hedge trimming really wasn't able to use the pool and TV just bores me.

Pretty much did nothing yesterday except hang out on the beach so I really need to get some work done this evening.

Wow the last few weeks have been a blur.
First there was a four day weekend and then last weekend having to get up before sunrise for school.

Today seemed almost normal and very relaxing. Went to the gym and had a nice workout that left me feeling ready for life.

Going to try to get somewhat caught up in work today. If the wether stays nice planing on hitting the beach for a hour or so late this afternoon.

Wow it is a beautiful day out. Since we may get hit with a topical wave later this week I may just say fuck it to work and enjoy this great weather before it goes away.

Completed my required ongoing education today. I'm so looking forward to being able to sleep till my normal time of around 10 am tomorrow.

During lunch break I went for a walk through the Fashion Mall at Plantation. It is built like a three story atrium and I use to shop there all the time. I always thought it was one of the more beautiful malls.

The mall was built in the early nineties and never really took off but now most of the stores have closed. Not sure what is going to be done with it. I heard rumors that it is going to be torn down which seems a shame.

All the food courts are closed and only a handful of stores remain open. There are signs saying that new stores are going to open but they have been up for a long time now and noting seems to be getting redone.

On days that it was raining or just too hot to be outdoors Fashion Mall at Plantation was a nice place to still be able to enjoy natural light while being in a climate controlled area.

Looking forward to getting a good night's sleep and hitting the gym tomorrow.

Dentist went well yesterday and he was able to reuse the laminate that had come off so it was painless, fast, and not very expensive to get my smile fixed.

Worked late into the night with Angel editing a movie of a shemale dressed as the devil fucking a priest. She uses iMovie to edit her stuff and we decided it was time to learn some of the more advanced features of the program.

Going to the gym in a bit. I have school all this weekend so I'll be scarce the next few days.

My internal clock is still all screwed up from the long weekend and trying to adjust my sleep cycle since I have to be in school all this weekend and will be getting up at 6 am for it is not helping at all.

Seeing the dentist this afternoon as yesterday I had a cap come off. Hopefully he can just put the cap back on but it will probably be much more involved, painful, and expensive then that. I hate going to the dentist.

It's a rainy dreary overcast day here this morning which pretty much sums things up for today.

Saw this posted elsewhere
I miss Monica

Got woken up by the yard guy trimming my hedges not long after the sun came up. At least I'll have pretty hedges today to go with my tired looking eyes. I do have to get up incredibly early for school this weekend so I guess it is best that I get up a little early the next few days anyway but damn I hate waking up early.

Looking to be an overcast rainy day here. At least no hurricanes heading this way yet.

Doing the gym thing today and then just a day of working planned. Still haven't made it to the movies so maybe later today after finishing up work.

Went out last night to Voodoo Lounge and had a pretty good time but having a few Jagermeister Blasters was not a good idea. Bumped into a lot of people that I know but damn the music was way too loud to socialize which is all I really went out to do and the Jagermeister Blasters made me feel more ill then anything. Never drank them before, probably never will again, but now I can say I've tried them. It is just nice to get out and taste the night life once in awhile.

Amazingly not really hung over this morning so went to the gym. For the most part the rest of today is just a day of working with possibly some friends stopping by this evening.

I still haven't made it to the movies to see The Devil Wears Prada. Might be something to do this evening if nothing else comes along.

Not a lot planned for today.

Still haven't decided if I'm going to the gym or not but I know I need to do a few loads of wash if I want clean underwear and towels.

Slept until 10:30 am this morning. I've had really strange sleep cycles lately I guess due to not having any real schedule.

Finished reading Chimera by Will Shetterlyl last night. It's an excellent novel with a good ending. Left me wanting to read a sequel if the author should write one. Now I have nothing to read at the beach. It's raining anyway so reading at the beach would have gotten my book all wet.

Went down to Los Olas boulevard yesterday evening. It was raining real lightly and the air was cool but sticky. As I was walking around the song Walking In The Rain by Grace Jones keep on going through my head. Got an ice cream cone and then got coffee down on the river at Storks.

I had bought a novel, Chimera by Will Shetterly, for reading at the beach but last night thought I would read a chapter or two and ended up reading over half the book late into the night until around 2 am this morning. It's been a long time since I've sat down and read a SciFi story and I had forgotten how enjoyable it is.

Nothing really planned for today. Went out to the Sawgrass Mall and walked around looking at crap but even inside the mall it was hot so I didn't say long.

I might go see the movie The Devil Wears Prada but it is so hot and sticky out that I don't really want to do anything.
