Some Vet, Some Good News . . .

Two hours and twenty minutes past Ideal Time . . .

A Brain Age Day, and a day I had to take Charlotte to the vet for a recheck on her UTI; her sample came out clear, almost a sure sign she's cured.

In the Better-Late-Than-Never file, on several levels still fun!:

Good Sleep, Good(ish) Charlotte . . .

Six and a quarter hours past Ideal Time . . .

In spite of the late time, the explanation means good results for me! I forced myself to bed early last night, foregoing a lot for this morning; as messy as the morning was, I got a very good night's sleep, and got a reminder of what waking up early is like! How well this worked will be determined by when I wake up tomorrow.

Took Charlotte to the vet; while she seems fine overall, the mysterious bloody pee continues to perplex, oh well . . .

Had to undergo a major update with this; consider it a fresh start . . .

Comic-Con Week Begins . . . ?

Five hours past Ideal Time (out of the shower by 8 AM), and I fell surprisingly good about that. Two days until a credible decision can be made on whether I can make Comic-Con. Oh well . . .

Advantage Day, so Charlotte got especially testy . . .

Smooth Sailing . . .

One hour and a half past Ideal Time; with nothing to do but a Brain Age Day, things went almost too smoothly today! I'd say I'm looking forward to how much I can get done tomorrow, but I know what happens when I get optimistic . . .

T-minus six days to Anime Expo; added to that, I got the check from VPI for the last of the ASG visits. Next, Charlotte is due for a regular vet check-up! Oh, and I can turn in the papers for the visit that signaled the beginning of our little ordeal; 'bout time that got done . . .

Yes, I'm aware George Carlin's dead; even if it was his time, a true legend passes on . . .

Did 100 crunches today . . .

'Til next time . . .

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

One hour and ten minutes past Ideal time . . . with a shower, on a day I could have skipped it! So much done, and I won't have to resort to "Plan B" tonight! Still, things took way too long, and it is getting way too late; but now, the next few days should flow more smoothly!

Aaanyway, I made the bank deposit, got some supplemental groceries, made a post I'd been meaning to get down to, and did a long walk; also, the early time ready for me meant more time outside for Charlotte. Satisfaction is a good word here . . .

Not much more here, so here are my most recent Usenet posts . . .:

Re: Attack Cartoons 18 June 2008

Did 41 push-ups today . . .

'Til next time . . .

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Got up a bit later than expected after staying up much later than expected. Might have had a lot to do with finally getting off a lot of posts I'd been meaning to do.

Charlotte caught her 80th bird after a long drought. Pictures will be coming up eventually, but not as of this initial posting; uploading can be quite a hassle.


Saw the TNA Slammiversary PPV, for what it's worth.

'Til next time . . .

Good(ish) Day!

A pretty good start today, at least compared to the last few days; "only" 2:40 past Ideal Time, and not much to get in the way, other than being a Brain Age day . . .

Yes, I play Brain Age on Thursdays, a little attempt to keep my brain from wasting too much in my aging body . . .

Well about time I mentioned Charlotte; about eight years old now, she's great company. As with most cats, I'm not really her owner, so much as she's my owner.














She's quite the hunter, and went through a rather harrowing experience this Fall. More on both of those eventually.

My DVR is my time/lifesaver when it comes to watching TV. I forsook Tivo for a ReplayTV box; with that hard drive I ordered through eBay I get 160 hours at medium quality (my preferred setting), from the previous 40 hours. Of course, most of that is divided into "History" (recs from The History Channel) and "Movies." (from TCM). Of course, I also have the box provided by my cable company for supplemental duties; its ability to record programs simultaneously, and record extended/premium cable channels comes in handy, but it's still a hassle.

Today I'm set to record (or recorded):
- The first re-airing of last night's Daily Show/Colbert Show combo
- Countdown w/Keith Olbermann
- NBC Nightly News
- Access Hollywood (as an alphabetic anchor)
- Jeopardy
- X-Play
- Attack of the Show
- CSI
- Smallville
- Lost
- My Name is Earl
- 30 Rock
- Scrubs
- Baseball Tonight
- Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
- George of the Jungle
- The Daily Show
- Late Show w/David Letterman
- Late Night w/Conan O'Brian
- W.I.T.C.H.

I saw (or plan to see):
- Last night's Daily Show
- Today's first re-airing of last night's Daily Show/Colbert Show
- W.I.T.C.H. (repeat just to FF, I still like the show design)
- The Simpsons (this Sunday)
- King of the Hill (same)
- Family Guy (same)
- American Dad (same)
- Everybody Hates Chris (4-27)
- Aliens in America (same)
- Mythbusters (last night, turned out I had seen it, as I suspected)
- Lewis Black's Root of All Evil (same)
- NBC Nightly News
- Late Night w/Conan O'Brian (5-6, maybe 5-7 and 5-8)
- Late Show w/David Letterman (5-5, maybe 5-6 and 5-7)
- Jeopardy
- Attack of the Show (4-28)

Yes, I am horribly behind in my recorded shows, not to mention my E-mailed comics, and my RSS feed (not as much). Well, enough good days, and maybe things will fall into place.

So, eventually I'll cover the comic strips I read (including many webcomics), the podcasts I listen to, and my radio habits.

That's quite a bit, and more than enough for now!
