August 2006 Archives

Nice and sunny here but that is expected to change by this afternoon.

Just a day of work planned but who knows what the day may actually bring.

Last night I was rather bored and couldn't think of anything really to do. I love reading so went over to Border's Books as I often do to see what new periodicals were out and also to get a book on bird watching as I've been curious of what kind of birds have been enjoying the fountain in my front yard and the bird feeder in my backyard.

I got a bird book and a few periodicals along with a latte and then when I was standing in line I spotted this really huge illustrated book on human anatomy that was on sale for only $20 bucks. I often get illustrated books for my coffee table but I'm really clueless on where I'm going to put a book this huge. It is filled with exquisitely detailed drawings that are amazing to view which is why I bought it.

For some reason mentally I feel like I've been through a much worse storm. I think a lot has to do with the hyperbole of storm reporting that we've been subjected to.

It's been kind of like a intense therapy session from A Clockwork Orange.

Couldn't get ahold of the plumber but the gym was open so did the gym thing. Guess my neighbor's new sink will have to wait.

Still trying to decide if I need to bring my car in for servicing. Last week I saw some coolant on my garage floor and I had to add some to my car but now it seems fine. I hate cars.

Shopping always is a nice escape from stress for me so I bought some stuff online today. One pair of sunglasses and one two and three bellybutton adornments. I love buying crap online. No hassles with traffic or lines and it's fun getting packages delivered to my front door.

It's still pretty nasty outside but I need a few things from the grocery store and anyway I've been kind of cooped up in this house for a few days so going to run around doing errands and see what kind of trouble I can get into.

Some friends came over yesterday and we had a hurricane party which turned out to be just a rainy day party since the hurricane stood us up.

Not that I'm complaining. This is the Florida I grew up in. The weather people would tell us that a hurricane was coming. We would all use it as an excuse to take the day off and get together for a party and wonder why the weather people told us to do all these silly things that we never did. Actually we would all go out and buy tape and bleach as we bought all kinds of junk food and party goods. I'm still not really clear on why we bought all that tape and bleach except we were told to.

Then the last two year's of hurricanes happened.

Woken up early this morning by a Blue Jay flying around my bedroom that one of my cats caught. After running around my bedroom to catch the little guy and set him free I was too awake to go back to bed.

It is very gusty out today and I was woken up by loud ran a few times but that is about it from this storm. It's like I'm really happy that we didn't get hit by a hurricane but at the same time it's like wait I got all ready for a hurricane and feel cheated.

Still it does look rather bad on radar.

Looking to be a not very nice day out so it's going to be a day of indoor stuff. I need to call the plumber to see if he is still putting a sink in my neighbor's place today but I'm guessing that is cancelled as is most stuff today due to the hurricane that didn't happen. If the plumber isn't going to do my neighbor today I'm going to call the gym to see if it's open.

Maybe I'll have another impromptu storm party this afternoon or something.

Looks like where I live lucked out and all we are going to get hit by is a nasty rain storm tonight.

I never did put my shutters up so at least I don't have to deal with taking them down. Hopefully I won't regret this when the worst of the storm passes over me. I am going to take Carols in tonight and let him make a big mess of my house but that is about it. I do kind of expect to loose my electric since just about anything over 13 mph seems to knock it out but I've got plenty of fuel for the generator and if it does go out I would expect it to be back on quickly.

Gave up trying to buy gas yesterday and ended up just using some of my generator fuel in my car. I drove by the gas station up the street from me last night a bit after 11 pm and it still had long lines and the other one up the street from me was out of gas.

I wouldn't even have bothered trying to get gas but I only had a quarter tank of gas and I had to drive Captain John around in order to move my neighbor's boat into an inland dock.

Not really sure what I'm doing the rest of today. Today would have been a gym day but the storm ruined that. I need to bring my car in for servicing since it seems to have a slow coolant leak but I'm going to wait until after the storm has passed and things are back to normal. It's kind of like nothing to do but sit here and dread the coming storm.

Good day to just work but my laptop is running slow because I'm doing a fresh backup of my servers but that should be done in another hour or so I'll probably spend the later part of the day working and that is about it... boring, boring, boring.

Life in the topics.

Up early because the plumber was suppose to be here this morning to put a camera down my sewer line but he just called and cancelled so I cancelled him for good. I'm just going to wait until next time I'm having sewer line problems and then call Rotor Rooter because they seem to have better equipment for dealing with main sewer line problems.

Watching Ernesto... it has weakened a lot but is going to be over warm water soon and has shifted further east.

I'm pretty much all set on supplies but I do need to fill up my car's gas tank and maybe pickup a few things for my freezer. Going to see what the storm does in the next 24 hours before deciding if I'm going to put all my storm shutters up.

Just a day of working planned today but who the fuck knows what the day may bring.

It's actually a beautiful day today but hurricane Ernesto has turned more my way so this may be the calm before the storm.

Here we go again... Didn't we just do this last year?

Was going out lat night but then started watching 18 Blocks with a my neighbor and a friend. Movie is pretty good and it's the first movie I've watched on the new HD DVD format.

I still have more bulk trash to put out for tomorrow morning's pickup but I did make it to the gym already. A friend is dropping by in a little bit and then not really sure what I'm doing the rest of the day but so far it's looking to be a beautiful day out so maybe I should enjoy the outdoors before we our fucked by the latest hurricane.

Daylight again...
Just another day in my boring uneventful life.

Looking to be sunny beautiful day out so if it stays that way I may hit the beach late this afternoon. Other than that just a day of working planned through I usually avoid the beach on the weekends due to the crowds.

Watching Ernesto to see if it might turn and come this way. It isn't forecasted to hit southeast Florida but after Wilma last year I've learned not to ignore storms in the Gulf anymore. Anyway at this point no one really knows where it might go. I'm actually all prepared with plenty of water, food, and gas for the generator so nothing at this point to do but watch the weather reports, not that they seem all that reliable.

Went out last night for a short time to the woman's bar up the street from me. Wow it was boring. Same faces, same bullshit, really not much fun to be around a bunch of people that I've nothing in common with and way I'm too sober these days for it all.

Woken up by a call from a friend this morning while having strange dreams so got an earlier start on the day. She is getting married and seems very stressed out about it. I asked her if she was getting married for love and she said no it was about money. Guess I should plan on celebrating with my friend a marriage with a soon to be followed messy divorce.

Free will it's a bitch... wonderful watching my friends make the same mistakes that I've made. Not really and I feel like my mother giving out advice that does no good. I know that I would never listen to anyone. It's a wonder that I'm still alive and doing well with the fucked up stuff that I've done after ignoring advice from others that really did know better. I guess we all just have to learn for ourselves.

Did the gym thing first thing this morning and then ran some errands. Kind of nice to get everything done early and now I'm just doing today's work.

Yesterday I hit a few more stores looking for some new stuff to wear but couldn't find anything but warm winter clothes so I ended up at Silver Street jewelry down on Los Olas and bought a couple of necklaces and earrings. For some odd reason I bought a sliver cross through no dead people on it. Maybe I should walk into a church wearing it and see if I burst into flames or something. It's a very old cross from an estate or something as is the chain.

A friend come over last night and we vegged out on the couch watching movies which was nice and relaxing. Always nice to just kick back with friends.

Not sure what I'm doing tonight. Will probably end up at the woman's bar up the street from me for lack of anything better to do but maybe something a bit more interesting will come along.

Just a day of working so far today. I'd had hoped to hit the beach this afternoon if the weather stayed nice but now it raining.

Went out to feed Carlos this morning and his fountain wasn't working again. So I take the pump apart and lay the pieces down for a moment at which time he sees the shinny pin that goes through the impeller which he grabs and throws someplace never to be found again. Not wanting to have to drive around trying to find a replacement pump I went through the spare parts junk box that I keep in the garage and actually found something that I was able to use. Fountain seems to be working fine now.

Ended up at the strip club with my neighbor last night. The club was kind of empty and the dancers were very bored so we ended up with a table full of mostly naked woman. Kind of strange when they relax kick back and start talking about their personal lives. Listening to them does make my life almost seem somewhat normal. For some odd reason people kept on asking to see and feel my boobs.

Not that I'm complaining but where are this year's storms? This so far has been one of the nicest summers that I remember. It hasn't even been that hot or humid most days. Last night it was actually kind of cool.

Life is so strange... We have our dreams, our hopes and our fears but no matter how hard we try to figure out everything and make plans nothing really every goes as we think it will.

DId the gym this morning and then just ran a bunch of errands.

I seem to be at peace with my surroundings and life is good these days. I've struggled so hard to get where I am in life these days. Guess I've just been kind of relaxing and enjoying my accomplishments this week like finally being back down to a weight that I'm comfortable at.

I've lost 20 lbs so far this year. I was doing good last year but then the first part of this year I started putting weight back on when I relaxed about my eating habits. I seem to be back on track now.

I've stopped eating the huge portions that are served at restaurants and now box up about half of all the entrees to eat later or now or just order a very light meal like a salad or soup.

I only buy low cal easy to prepare food for my house.

No junk food.

This is a hard one for me because I spend a lot of time with my neighbor who lives on chips, cookies, and dinning out. I've learned to eat something before spending time with him so that I don't start snacking off his junk food or order fating stuff at restaurants.

Never been much of a drinker but having a few drinks a few times a week really seems to put weight on me so I've cut out my social drinking almost altogether.

Increased my gym time to two hours every other day.

I'm still about ten pounds over what I consider my idea weight but I'm also more muscular then I've ever been from all the gym I'm doing.

Funny how we drift though the rhythm of life...
Discovered the show Dead Like Me while waiting for the first episode of Eureka on the SciFi channel. Turned out that I hated Eureka but really liked Dead Like Me. Ended up buying the all the episodes on DVD and then while watching an episode heard some music that I liked. Went to the artists web site after being unable to find the music on iTunes. She sells her music through email so I ended up buying all of her tracks and now I'm listening to what she has so far emailed me. Anyway the song that got my interest was Boom Boom Ba and you can find this along with the rest of her music on her web site Metisse Music.

Not really sure what I'm doing this evening. Probably will watch another episode or two of Dead Like Me and then going out with friends to get a bite to eat.

Got up super early since I needed to shower and stuff before the plumber got here this morning to put a video camera down my main sewer line. Too bad he didn't actually have a video camera to use. So now my sewer inspection has been put off until Monday. So today I just took him over to my neighbor's place and showed him the work needed there.

Finally made it to the mall... and found nothing.

It's like 90ºF out there with 85% humidity and the stores are full of warm winter clothes. Hello this is south florida. I always love the buying for the stores on a national system as this way we end up with lots of nice warm clothes to go to the beach in down here.

I guess the good part is that since I found nothing it gives me an excuse to hit some more stores this week.

Been watching Dead Like Me. The DVD episodes are much better then what they are showing on the SciFi channel. The SciFi channel has censored and edited the episodes pretty badly. Anyway I'm really enjoying the show and I'm up to episode 14. It's kind of like watching a really, really, really, long movie that you take breaks from.

Somehow in all this I also got caught up in web work today.

It's like my life got really strange there for awhile and then without warning all of a sudden I'm back to my quiet boring existence. Fuck I want something between chaos and boredom but I always seem to end up at the extremes.

Anyway tomorrow it's back to the gym. I'm feeling more energized and healthier then I've felt in a very long time. I've finally lost most of the weight that I've been trying to loose. Now I'm just working hard to keep it off and maybe loose a little more.

Not really sure what I'm doing tonight. It's like there really isn't anything to do and there isn't really anyone that I feel like hanging out with so I'll probably just end up on the couch and watch some more episodes of Dead Like Me.

So I get all excited when the season one and two of Dead Like Me arrives today.

I pop the DVD into my player only to find out it has died. No big surprise as it was acting strangely the other day not wanting to let me select some menus on the DVDs.

Run out to Best Buy and buy the cheapest DVD player that they sell. Get home hook it up only to find out its video out is fucked and everything is too low on the screen and in black and white. I fuck around with its menus for awhile and change cables around but nothing fixes it.

So I go back to Best Buy where I get to wait in line for almost 30 minuets. I'm stranding there thinking that my time is really worth more then the $40 the DVD player when the woman finally tells me it is my turn.

Not wanting to go through this a second time I decide to get the next model up figuring I would stand a better chance of this one working when I got home. So I go looking at the DVD players again only to see that the next model up doesn't have S-video out so I go one more model up.

Go back and get in line again. 30 minutes later it's finally my turn. I pay the $20 more that this one costs and leave the store.

Traffic is still backed way up from the dead body in the road earlier and it takes me 30 minutes to get less then one mile to my house.

So two dead DVD players and one dead body later I'm finally able to watch a couple episodes Dead Like Me.

Yesterday I let someone pick me up at my house so I ended up with no car trapped with them and pretty much had my day wasted for me. We did watch an old movie that came from Netflix called SOB which was actually pretty good. I finally caught a ride from another friend late last night back to my house where I turned her onto Dead Like Me off of the TiVo.

Saw the doctor this afternoon for a follow-up. I feel fine but the doctor took my urine again just to be sure that I'm really over this.

Looking to be a rainy day so a good day for indoor stuff so I may do the shopping that I never made it to yesterday later this afternoon if nothing else comes up. Whatever I end up doing I'll be driving my own car.

Been spending a little time with my friend Talia. She is one of those friends that is fun to be around but hard to plan anything with.

She lives on the other side of town which makes it difficult to do things with. I guess this is the reason I spend so much time with my neighbor up the street is we are so close by and both of us have a lot of free time on our hands.

Plumber came out Friday because none of my drains were draining. He put the roto thing down my main drain but was unable to completely clear it and it looks like I have sand getting in the main drain which might mean a pipe has cracked underground. They are coming back on Tuesday to put a video camera down the pipe to see what's up. Just I wanted to spend a bunch of money of this month.

Returned to the gym yesterday for the first time since being sick. I'm still very weak from this but felling good.

Planning on hitting the malls and feeding the economy this afternoon. Other then that just some errands to run. Still haven't made any plans for this evening but my neighbor mentioned hitting the strip clubs so maybe naked woman jiggling is on tonight's agenda.

I wish the drains in my house were flowing as well as the rain is. Waiting for the plumber today to do a main drain clean out that my house seems to need every few years. Plumber should be here sometime this afternoon and then I'm not really sure what I'm doing the rest of the day.

Spent most of yesterday continuing to get caught up with work. May do the same today.

Yesterday's excitement was buying a cordless hand vacuum so it won’t take much today to top yesterday but I do have very clean glass sliding door tracks and my dinning room chairs have been de-furred.

One of my friends is bugging me to go with her to the clubs tonight. Not sure if I'm up for clubbing or even in the mood for loud music and drunks tonight. I'm more in the mood for a quiet evening and maybe a movie.

Damn it's hot and muggy out today. Good day to stay indoors and get things done.

Got sick of trying to FF through commercials and waiting for new episodes of Dead Like Me so last night I ordered the first two seasons on DVD.

Finally got a somewhat decent night's sleep but still waking up way too early and still having a hard time falling asleep but mostly feeling back to normal. Still have no appetite but I'm kind of counting that as an added bonus.

Angel tried to get her old implants and was going to auction them off but the doctor said he wasn't allowed to since they are considered a bio hazard. Wow and here I thought they were just too small.

Spent most of today so far trying to get caught up with everything. Nothing like getting sick to screw up one's schedule. I'm way behind on just about everything, but feeling pretty much myself again.

Went over a saw Angel for a bit to see her new tits. She looked pretty good for someone who just had surgery but still in a lot of pain

Going to try to get caught up some more in work this evening and maybe go get a bite to eat with my neighbor. He mentioned hitting the strip clubs so maybe I'll go with him see what kind of trouble I can get into.

Still recovering from being sick but much better. Ciprofloxacin interferes with sleep so I spent most of last night tossing and turning.

Angel is in Orlando getting new bigger boobs. Guess next week Angel will be clothes shopping and asking everyone if they want to see her new boobs.

Did a little house cleaning and may do some more later. Other then that just getting caught up on everything.

What a hideous last few days. Absolutely everything that could go wrong did go wrong at the worst posable time.

I had noticed last week that I felt like I was getting a urinary track infection. I've always been prone to them and usually drinking cranberry juice for a few days clears them up. Then I got really sick this weekend with a high fever and flu like symptoms. Timing could not have been worse as I needed to shoot talent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday that had flown in from Nebraska and was costing Angel lots of money. I did most of the shoot but was unable to finish Saturday's shoot and never made it out of bed Sunday. Her backup photographer finished Saturday's shoot but was unavailable Sunday as it was his son's birthday.

So this morning I show up at my doctor's office a few minutes before they are even open and plop myself against his front door waiting for them to open. Shortly afterwards nurse sees me, recognizes me, and knows something is very wrong for me to be up this early with my hair snatched, no makeup, perspiring so bad that my clothes are soaked. She then tells me that my doctor is away on a family emergency and the doctor filling in will not be in until 11:30.

So I go back home and wait until 11:25 and drive back over. Luckily I live less then one mile from the doctor's office

The doctor filling in is a very nice Egyption woman who seemed a little uncomfortable when I asked her where she was from. Turns out I don't have the flu but a very bad urinary track infection. Never knew that could give you a fever of 103.9. Anyway the meds, Ciprofloxacin, are making me feel strange and I'm very weak from not eating for days but I'm already feeling relief. They are going to do a culture just to make sure that they have me on the correct meds but it is going to take up to three days for the results.

This really kicked my ass and my vision is still blurry but I feel like I should be much better in a few days. I have a follow up visit on Monday.

Just cooked an Amy's organic spinach pizza and ate most of it. Washed the sheets on my bed so I'll have nice clean dry sheets to sleep in and am looking forward to feeling well again.

Started feeling flu like symptoms a few days ago and yesterday while shooting for Angel I almost passed out a few times. Worst part is she had talent fly in for this whole weekend and I can barely shoot feeling like this. Stills aren't nearly as bad as vids as I can sit down and take breaks a lot but with vids you pretty much have to stand there with a very heavy camera for long periods of time. I've been trying to get her to get a shoulder brace for the video camera and wow do I wish we had one now.

Tried to go over to see my doctor this morning but he isn't in on Saturdays. Guess I will have to wait until Monday and but that time I'll probably be mostly over this anyway.

Going to see how I feel by this afternoon and decide then if I can shoot Angel's stuff.

This has been a very strange year for getting sick. I almost never get sick and this is like the six time this year. If it was just me I wouldn't really think that much about it but just about everyone I know has gotten sick way more then normal this year.

Was laying there kind of awake and kind of still asleep debating what to do when I got a phone call from my friend with a hand bag obsession. We went down a to Miami last week so that she could buy a hand bag. Now she wants to take it back and get another color which is pretty normal for her as she buys and returns stuff constantly.

I have a new garage door opener. It's a Lift Master and it's chain drive so maybe it will last more then two years unlike all my old Genie worm drive openers.

Angel is picking up talent at the airport today and so I'll be spending tonight and all weekend shooting polygender porn. Naturally I'm still feeling like crap from this bug that I seem to have caught earlier this week so I would much rather just relax at home or at the beach.

Guess I should head over to the drug store and get some cold meds. I can never decide if the meds make me feel better or worse then the cold but I'm all achy so I need to take something if I'm going to be worth a shit as a photographer tonight.

Still not feeling 100% so a day of salt water, sun, and R&R seemed perfect for today. Seemed like a good day to go down to the ocean and just be a beach bum which is what I was planning on doing today but...

Best laid plans gone to waste.

Was heading out to the beach and my garage door opener breaks as I'm trying to pull out of my garage and then it starts raining. So now instead I get to wait for the garage door repair people. At least it stopped raining but it does look like it might again as dark clouds are moving in now. Kind of like what my life has been like this past week.

Garage door people are suppose to be here by 1 PM. This is the third time this piece of shit Genie worm drive opener has broken so unless it is very cheap to fix again I'm just going to have a new opener installed. The cog on the worm drive seems to break every few years so I may go back to a chain drive opener or anything but what I have now.

Woke up very early. Kind of overdid it yesterday and I was too sore to stay in bed this morning. Not that being up and sore is really any better.

Pulled up into my driveway as the UPS truck was leaving late yesterday afternoon so I was able to stop him and get my new toy. Should be great for getting some POV content and just doing some interesting perspective shots. May get a chance to use it as soon as this weekend as Angel has put me on standby for shooting this weekend. Never really know if shoots are actually going to happen until the talent is actually there and in front of the camera. Couple of weeks ago one of the male talents (that would be the one with no tits) ran out the door at the last minute so we ended up just doing Tgirl posing whacking her meat and two nights ago an interracial BBW couple didn't want to do anything or even get naked so Angel sent them on their way.

May be going down to Miami this evening with a friend on business but it is far from a sure thing. Really I would be very happy to just stay in and watch a movie or something relaxing as I seem to be having a very off day. I really had a rough night and didn't get much sleep so I'm kind of tired, very unmotivated, and not really feeling that well today.

Another day in existence we call reality on this spinning gravitational well.

So far this month has just been rather bazaar and yesterday was pretty bazaar too. For some odd reason my pangender friends are fighting with each other and are all calling me bitching about each other

I tend to be agnostic in what someone says and take things at face value instead of obsessing over if they are being completely upfront about things. I guess it comes down to being guided by Occam's razor. This usually works out pretty well and the truth always seems to reveal itself in the end anyway.

Did the gym thing today and then was going to spend the day working but instead went over and spent some time with a male friend who who seemed a bit down, stressed, and just needing to spend some time with a friend. Today turned out to be a good day and ended on a very positive note.

Just getting dark here now so probably will get some work done and maybe see if someone is up for a late night dinner or something later.

Kind of started a few days ago. Not really sure where things are going or why now but lots of different changes unrelated seem to be happening at once in financial matters, in friendships, who is in my life, and the direction of future plans. Not really anything that might be bad, maybe some good things, mostly I kind of just feel in limbo at the moment not sure at all what to expect in the coming weeks.

They say change is good but my life has been going pretty good lately and somehow, someway, everything seems to have changed starting around the beginning of this month and especially after today. I find myself both apprehensive and very hopeful of where my life may be going.

Spent the day with one of my female friends hitting the malls. I didn't buy anything and she just got a new purse but it was a nice day and we had en enjoyable relaxing time just doing girl things. Going down to Miami we did have a car full of Latin guys start following us to the point of becoming kind of scary. I finally ended up having to drive very aggressively to loose them since I didn't want to end up stuck at a traffic light or something with them once we got off of I-95. It was kind of fun having an excuse to push my Vette hard and experience the joy of driving a car with tons of power that is glued to the road.

To completely change the subject...
Half way through doing promotional submits yesterday I noticed that I was spelling pussy pussing so I guess I created a new niche of Pussing Eating Babes.

Speaking of work getting ready to do today's promotional piece. It's two 30 second clips from the phone both video that I shot last week of FoxyAngel doing phone sex in the new phone booth prop that she had built.

Tomorrow is a new day and maybe will bring a fresh perspective on things. Other then going to the gym in the morning I'm not really sure what I'm doing tomorrow. My female friend who I spent today with said she was going to try to come by again tomorrow and if she does I may just spend the day doing girly things with her again.

I'm not really a lesbian and I'm not really straight either. I guess I'm basically a Pansexual so I usually end up at gay bars and most of the time at lesbian ones since they are usually more mixed then the gay male ones.

So last night I'm really fucking bored and very awake so I end up at this little dive bar called Elements in a strip shopping mall in a not so good part of town and you have to park in K-Mart's parking lot across the street. On Saturday it's a woman's bar so I'm kind of surprised that there are lots of men in the bar and most of the men are very good looking dressed in fetish wear or just very outrageous attire. Turns out it's the local hang out for the Drag Kings and they do a drag king show every Saturday night there. It was all pretty entertaining.

This one was my favorite and striped out of her male drag after wiping off the fake facial hair revealing a very attractive female under it all. Much of the show was comedy and was very entertaining. On one number a drag king and drag queen did a very well done number from the movie Grease. I took lots of other pics but really I need to not be so lazy and take my real camera out of my purse and not be using my cell phone's camera.

Doing the gym thing today and then probably just a day of working. I may hit Voodoo lounge late tonight if I'm not feeling too worn out after all the partying I've done this weekend.

Went out last night and had a pretty good time and saw lots of people who I haven't seen in years so had lots to talk about and catchup on with them plus it was one of those rare nights when everyone is real friendly, full of complements, and you meet lots of new people. Didn't drink at all but for some odd reason I felt hung over this morning.

Got pretty much caught up on work yesterday so ended up hitting the mall today and buying some new tops. Also spent a long time on a the phone with a friend who is having boyfriend problems. Tried to get her out of the house to maybe let things cool off with the two of them or at least relax and get a fresh perspective on things. She said she was going to call later but knowing her she will probably spend the rest of the day going at it with the boyfriend.

Anyway other then needing to go over to Sport's Authority and buy a fresh supply of tennis balls plus some cool packs to help deal with the summer heat just planning on taking it easy for the rest of the day. May make a few phone calls to see if anyone wants to go see a movie or something but that is about it.

If nothing comes along I may hit a new woman's bar that I saw advertised in one of the woman's magazines last night but will have to see if I'm in the mood later this evening.

Had an incredibly boring day yesterday stuck at my neighbor's house while a new alarm system was being installed and lighting for his palm trees was also being installed.

They are 250 watts each and about the brightest landscaping lights that I've ever seen.

Afterwards a friend stopped by and talked me into playing tennis. It was the first time that I've played tennis in over a year and I'm really sore today but after working out at the gym I'm feeling a lot better. Forgot how much I enjoy playing not that I'm very good but looking forward to playing soon again.

After tennis we went over to my neighbor's place and relaxed in his pool/spa for a few hours and watched Aeon Flux again. For some odd reason I really like the movie. My friend wants to go to a fetish party so I was thinking of trying to find an outfit like the one she wears at the beginning of the movie.

The lighting on the trees from the new lights is really awesome as we noticed it while we were relaxing in the pool. If I wasn't so tied from tennis I would have grabbed my camera and taken a few shots but maybe tonight I will go by and take some.

I've gotten really behind in work so planning on working the rest of today and then maybe seeing a movie or something later this evening.

Had to get up early since neighbor is out of town and ADT is coming to his house to install a new alarm system since his old one doesn't work properly with VoIP. Actually I got it working just fine with VoIP just like I've got my own alarm working just fine with VoIP but ADT talked him into a system that uses a radio transmitter which I guess is better anyway.

Suppose to go down to South Beach later this afternoon to do a little business and just have some fun. Still waiting for a phone call to see if we are still on for it but hoping that it happens since I always seem to have a good time when I end up down there.

Hopefully the news about the storm named Chris will continue to be good but I've seen things change way too quickly in the past to completely relax about it.

Bought 197.5 gallons of gas yesterday. Filled up both my 55 gallon drums, the tank on my generator, my car's gas tank, plus all 13 five gallon gas cans that I have. Then I went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of food plus I've been having Zephyrhills water deliver extra water for the last few months so I have around 100 gallons of bottled water in my garage.

Very sore from dragging all the hurricane supplies around but being the sadistic bitch that I am went to the gym anyway to torture my body a bit more.

Other than that it is a beautiful day out so may hit the beach later and enjoy our weather before the hurricane comes and destroys paradise again this year.

Happy storms to all...

Still pretty far away and only a tropical storm right now but I've seen how fast these things change and become major hurricanes so not taking any chances this time. Don't really think this storm will turn into anything but not taking any chances.

Made a bunch of trips to the corner station and bought lots of gas. I think I started a panic at the gas station when they saw me show up with 13 gas tanks to fill up a bunch of times.

There really is nothing like driving a Vette with 13 five gallon cans of gas all around you. Took the roof out and left the hatch open but I just had this image of exploding the whole way home. Naturally I spilled some on the passenger’s door sill so now I have the Vette sitting out in the sun with the top out and all the doors open trying to get the smell of gas out of it.

Emptied all the cans into the two 55 gallon drums that I have in my yard, filled up the tank on the generator, filled up the tank in my car, and then filled up all 13 five gallon cans of gas. All I know is that I'm a woman with a lot of gas now.

Going to hit the grocery store later tonight and buy some more supplies just in case we do get hit.
