I’ve mentioned the musical instruments throughout the house. I know I have. Did I mention the studio? Did I mention the light system? Yeah, I’m for real. This is how I live.

And this is what it looks like during a break in the playing.

If you can recreate the photo that went with this post:

the Fucktard

Beware the misguided soul who encourages me to play with Photoshop.

My first effort, while technically deficient, was just absolutely sick. SICK.

Okay, Greg’s NOT a fucktard. But, the idea to turn me loose with technology was horrible. He should know better.

If you know which photo belonged there and can recreate it for me, I will pay you $102.49.

You figure it out. You make it happen. The money is yours. The laughter belongs to everyone though.

Somehow during my chat last night, we got onto the topic of the cat and cough syrup. I was saying I needed the cough syrup. Someone else suggested the cat should have it. Needless to say, I prevailed. PJ Fuzzybutt doesn’t need anything to make him weirder.

Just for fun, here’s a haiku from Haikutomatic (cuz it’s been a Lebowski kinda week):

Need to use the john
The queen in her damned undies
The bar’s over there

Mojo’s going to court today to find out if she can be granted emancipation. It’s kind of a bummer, but it’s a necessary step to get her some financial aid for college. Wish her luck, please.

LD’s big scary day was yesterday. We had an early morning conference with his teachers and counselors. I called the ex and participated via speakerphone. Ah, technology.

I can’t wait to be back in San Diego next week to take care of business and see the kids.

I can’t remember if I ever posted these. Hmm…my mind’s slipping. Anyhow, I was chatting with my friend in Alaska, so I figured I should post another photo or five from that trip. (Also I went back to check; no, I’ve not posted these before.)

Every once in a while, I go through all my favorite videos on YouTube and just sit there, enjoying.

Here is of my favorites. Odd, but still a favorite. And it’s not just because it’s Zach (although it helps). I think it’s the utter playfulness of the video itself. Whatever. I had to watch a couple times.

And now I must go bring up the other half of my right lung.

P.S. I’ve posted this before, but I’m posting it again because we should all laugh today. Oh, and if watch closely, you might catch a glimpse of me in the audience.

1) Why was Mac Davis in my dream last night?

2) A computer not hooked up to the Internet suddenly stops working. It just freezes. The only way to turn it off is to hold the power button down for six seconds. Upon reboot, you can’t even get into operating the computer in safe mode. Again, when you finally get to the desktop, you can’t click on anything because it all freezes up. What’s the deal?

3) How can one body produce so much mucous?

I should be able to come up with some exciting title, shouldn’t I? I mean, it’s already January 3rd. Here’s the thing though: I got nada.

I started getting sinusy last Saturday when I was still in San Diego. It’s hit me hard. So hard that my first New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas was spent at home. I watched fireworks in the distance for a few seconds and then crawled back into bed. Buster had made us both a great dinner, but that was it for my big celebration.

New Year’s Day was super rocky. Don’t even ask.

Yesterday was probably the second worst of it all. At least, I’m hoping that’s the case.

This sniffling, sneezing, aching, coughing thing is really getting on my nerves.

Here are the good things about being sick on a holiday though:

1) You have a great excuse to avoid people/crowds/idiocy.

2) You can eat weird stuff and nobody questions you. Bagels for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? No problem. Same with soup. And cookies you got from your mom.

3) No one looks at you oddly because of your movie or TV choices. They just assume anything weird is the result of all the OTC meds you’re taking. (I found The Proposal rather charming, thank you very much. And I only watched half of Ace Ventura.)

4) That post-holiday puffiness? You can totally blame it on being sick.

5) The tears are attributed to an absolute need for relief from congestion.

And that’s it. Oh, yeah…6) people will read your lame list, feel sorry for you, comment like crazy, and keep coming back in the hopes that you’ll post something new in the next 24 hours. (You will, right?)

Seriously, thank you all for helping me get through the past year. It was a doozy. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to a fantastic and successful 2010 for all of us!
