Connectivity Issues
Sorry for the lack of updates but I've moved.. again and am now experiencing some major connection issues with my internet service provider.It always goes a little wonky when I move my computer but this is just ridiculous.
First things were sliding downhill and I didn't have the heart nor the energy to talk about them in my blog. I'm a personal blogger and in all honesty, my blog is my sanity. A place where I can talk about anything that's on my mind, big or small with no worries as to who's around to judge or ridicule me. But at the same time I don't want my blog filled with post upon post of nothing but bad happenings.
Now that a little peace has returned to my life and I'm ready to blog again my internet connection is all but broken.
I've been trying, in vain, to update comotized for the past five nights.
Am I annoyed? A little, am I pissed off? You bet, but what can I do that I haven't already done?
I've reinstalled the software, checked my modem, checked all my computer cords, rebuilt my connection options and a whole host of other fruitless things.
I'm trying my best to be patient but patience has never been one of my strong points and as much as I love my cymbalta.. it's not a miracle drug and can't fix everything.
Now an internet connection might not seem like much to you, and normally it doesn't mean that much to me either but I've got a ton of work I need to get done and not being able to make any sort of dent in the pile is more than a little frustrating.
I incinerated windows live writer because I only used it once but man am I wishing I had left it on my hard drive now. The draft posts would deffinately come in handy and the interface sure beats notepad by a long shot.
But I'm used to notepad so it really isn't all that bad. I can deal with it, now weather or not I can connect long enough to copy and paste this into the wordpress write panel is another question.
I'm also sorely pissed off about the loss of my beloved firefox. It died many months ago but I still miss it. Internet Explorer is a no-no for me and even though Opera might be fast it has a lot of internet explorer tendancies that I can live without.
The cache system might as well be identicle to internet explorer, the skins suck, the security is questionable and it's only 'lightning' fast for the first five seconds you have it open.
I'm tired of having to refresh a page 10,000 times just to see where I edited something and added a period to the end of a sentence or fixed a typo. And I'm really.. really tired of seeing time out errors.
My computer is old but does it have to be grumpy too?
Add the computer problems on top of the life problems and I'm more than ready to find a nice dark hole to crawl into.
I won't get into the details just yet, I'll leave that for when I can actually type in my administration panel.
But god do I hate computers sometimes!
I'll return comments whenever my connection gives me enough time. I know I'm late but I haven't forgotten I promise!

Me & Two Kitties… In the tub?
Yup, the tub.I've been super sick for four or five days now. Some virus type thing that acts out as a severe cold with flu type symptoms mixed in.
The other day the entire household went camping, minus me as I was far too sick. So I lounged around the house enjoying the silence and finally decided to take a nice long bath.
Being that no one else was home the kittens, Bailey and Jag, quickly became bored and decided to join me by sitting on the side of the tub.
The bath tub in the master bedroom is gigantic with room for toiletries all around, so letting them sit there while I bathed wasn't an issue.
At first they were content to just sit and watch the soap bubbles swirl around on top of the water.. but then they got curious.
Tiny little paws started dipping into the water, being drawn back out to shake water droplets every-which-a-way, then back down into the water again to repeat the process.
It's a game Boboe plays and one which I'm familiar and okay with, so I let them be and set to 'work' shaving my legs.
Bailey kept up with his game of dunk and splatter but from the corner of my eye I saw a tiny striped body inching closer to the water.
I kept shaving my legs, not thinking for a million years Jag would be stupid enough to inch so far that he'd fall in but low and behold a short time-span later I heard a splash and saw a tiny dark blob swimming frantically in my bath water!
I quickly reached in with my free hand, scooped him up and out of the tub and watched as he zoomed out of the room sopping wet laughing and choking (I'm sick remember?) until tears came out of my eyes.
Needless to say it's become quite apparent that Boboe is, without a doubt, their father.
What is it with cats around this house that require them to always invade my bath time?

Sprocket - the cute but evil alien
I got bored the other day so I decided to finish up an illustration I had sitting on the back burner for some months now.My problem is that I can't think of what he should be holding and I'd love to put something floating above his tail but again.. I'm out of ideas.
Anywho, meet Sprocket:
Any ideas on what he could hold and what could float above his tail?
