Dude. SBC-Yahoo-At&t, whoever the fuck it is, sucks. I have never had to go in and dick around with my email settings so much as I have in the past few months. Now there is this new thing where I had to go in and verify my email addresses. Hello? What? This is my ISP. I am sure it’s normal to have many emails to send from… Bah. Funny tho. The only emails other than the dumbass one from them that need their SMTP is our Mac accounts. The Mac SMTP never works for me. Like for the last 2 years. Weird. And Richard’s settings were all crazy. Tell me why I never fixed his issues before, and just added more SMTP server choices? He had like 8. For 2 emails. Dude?

Anyway, after two hours Richard and I finally have outgoing home email addresses in addition to our glamorous dp.com addys. Yay. I am so happy to have had this project after my 3 hours of sleep and 9.5 hour day.

Now back to mindless surfing.

This is the post where I was going to post the infamous 12 of 12 meme. Twelve photos on the twelfth day. I have been wanting to do it for months. Literally. But I always forget. This time was different…

I tried. I actually remembered, thanks to Brian. I was off work, so I went around and did interesting things. I took photos. Somehow I totally missed the part where you have to also note the time. By the time I figured out how to do find the time of a photo (it’s a really tiny bit of info I only get within iPhoto, which I didn’t use at all after getting the photos to the desktop). Anyhow, by the time I figured all that out it was (is) 12:30 at night. I have an early dentist appointment. Clearly this meme and I were not meant to be. And to be frank, looking at how much time was spent today futzing with the camera there is NO way I could do it on a workday. I am at work far too long to get photos, and I unfortunately would find myself fired if I photographed my place of work and put it online.

So yeah. I am bummed and oddly relieved. At least I tried it once, right? Right?

I just discovered “San Diego’s first GAY THEMED podcast”!!

Huh. The site has been up only since January. The first podcast was in… erm… February.

Okay, so I was gay with a podcast (a gay themed podcast even!) and in San Diego in (believe it or not..) July of ‘06. Check! It’s in the archives.. I’ll wait. I even show up in Google on page 7 for “San Diego gay podcast”. That’s like 3 pages higher than this one.

Just sayin’.

Bah. What the hell do I care? I am a blogger first. I never really got a “show” going. I didn’t even really try. Even tho I recorded 50 of the damn things. I don’t even have a Listener Line. Or a microphone. I am not bitter. I swear. Anyhoo. I subscribed to the thing and am going to listen to a few. I’d link to it here but I don’t want to seem bitchy about it. Really. It totally does not bother me.

..For cereal.” He said, as he poured every last drop into his bowl knowing I cannot drink coffee without it. Cattiness ensued, but it still doesn’t change the fact that if I want my morning energy ‘boost’ I have to drink the strong bitter sludge we lovingly call ‘coffee’ without any milk. This day is probably going to suck. These types of things are foreboding, right?

I feel totally disconnected today too. The closing weekend can do that. I wake up, go to the gym, dress, go to work, come home, sleep, and repeat. For 4 days. 5 this week, since I needed to get out of my usual Thursday close. I have not seen any TV. I have not read any news (like I do that so much). Bah. Disconnected. I took today off from the gym too. So now I feel guilt about that. But to be fair, on my closing weekend I like to take Saturday morning to get the housework done. Waiting a week on that with 2 cats is, well, gross.

Gawd this coffee tastes like hell.

I am not sure how other people figure this out, but at our house there are some clear rules. More so in the morning. The first one up makes coffee and medicines/feeds the cats. The last one out of bed makes the bed. Makes sense, right? So when I got up this morning, it was totally within reason to expect there to be coffee, even if Richard had gotten up earlier and had already left the house. Totally within reason! But no. I awoke to nothing. He got up, took care of the cats, ate something, left me the plate to clean, showered, dressed, (all without coffee!?) and left. Knowing how he is about his morning coffee, I have decided that he was just being evil. Being late, as the excuse, will not be accepted. If he ATE, he had time to brew coffee.

So there I was, all bleary eyed, heading down to the kitchen to nothing. No coffee, just a plate. A dirty plate. What a suck-y way to start my off day. I work for the next 6 days straight, so Tuesdays are supposed to be nice and relaxing… *sigh*

I was innocently looking at Twitter updates. Just reading what everyone is doing, right? Then all of a sudden I realized I had just read the results of tonight’s American Idol’s elimination. Damn! You can’t ‘unread’ something like that either.

Bah. There goes my evening.
