  • 20091222-Imagine That

    Oh yeah and before I forget: The reason why my former manager (the `Crybaby` as known in `Low-Town`) was calling her inferiors names was so that she could get the LAY-OFF package! She told me so and rather candidly.

    As a matter of fact and during one of our conversations, she stared at me, waited for answer she had hope to pull from moi and wanted to know more than what the H/R department instructed me what to say and what not to say.

    So anymore spooks sent my way will be dealt with `quietly`.

  • 20091221-New Fonts

    On 12/19/2009 one night, we were watching a CNN Special ‘In God We Trust: Faith & Money in America’. I noticed how the fonts for ‘In God We Trust’ were all in caps and in bold fonts, too. I wanted fonts for my weblog based on the United States Treasury.

    Lo and behold, tonight there is a new WordPress feature via Dashboard >> Appearance >> Typekit Fonts! Unfortunately, I kept trying so many and wasn’t (as usual) satisfied. But because the banksters keep lying to me, I cannot afford to upgrade my Typekit account for more stuff!

    I figured there are telepathic entities working for team Automattic. Am I wrong? Hmmm!

  • 20091221-Hiding Up

    Maw and I are hiding upstairs. Paw is downstairs. This is how it will remain. I will speak few words now; while I will continue to hate you, Pete.

  • 20091221-Rainy Day

    Gray clouds earlier & lots of rain now! Took Maw out of house: McD, SeaFood City, doc appt. Maw passed out twice: low B/P, pulse, sugar! Lots of her crap out…

  • 20091221-Boy Cut

    Got a ‘boy cut’ from Super Cuts (off Capitol Ave.)! Shaved on back, side short showing double-earrings, 3.5 inches on top. Easier to care: blowdry & go for work

  • 20091221-Federally Aborted

    Abortion in Obama’s healthcare insurance reform bill is probably for unwanted genetic failures or monster babies done by ALIENS! Can’t have freaks runn’ around!

  • 20091221-Whale Clouds

    While taking my long mid-afternoon nap, I awoke briefly and saw through my sleepy eyes the reflections of westward clouds from the closet mirror. The colors of the clouds were dark. And the setting sun of gold surrounded these clouds. There were other colors of orange and pink, too. The clouds were cylindrical in shape. There were three LONG clouds, one staggered on top of each other. I closed my eyes, too lazy to take a photo.

  • 20091221-Going Home

    “America’s chickens coming home to roost…”

    ~Rev. Jeremiah Wright

    After tonight’s 60-40 vote to forward the health care insurance reform bill (H.R. 3590) for passage this Christmas eve, Maw decided she would go home. I may follow her after filing a legal complaint against the banksters, even if it means losing to nothing.

    It makes no sense to pay more taxes, work hard for the money and come home to a big house with no relatives (including the Twit and her in-laws) visiting, no husband caring only for himself, and no life other than attending mass and then eating and sleeping.

    Tonight we have watched `Meet the Natives – Reflection USA`. Maw knows this has been set up to make America look good. The five guys from Tanna (a little island located in the South Pacific, west of Fiji) do not realize there exists homelessness, starvation and violence, such a murders and killings (i.e. abortions) in America.

    Their message of peace via Gen. Colin Powell and to President Barack Obama (who is supposed to possess this `spirit`) has failed, seriously. Their coming home in suits and ties have corrupted them. They have put on a show for the camera. Their minds will have changed after the corruptions of America.

  • 20091220-Sunshine Warm

    The sun is shining! The air is warm. For the past half hour or so, Maw and I warmed ourselves under the VERY bright sunshine! The parakeets too enjoyed some fresh air and a few minutes of direct sunlight again. I noticed a patch of high altitude clouds underneath the sun and somewhere over the westward hills. Later, there are lots of puffy clouds over the East Bay.

    It was warm enough for me to sweat underneath my fleeced vest! Then around 14:30pm, the wind started to blow and prior to that no wind rustled the trees. I kept thanking for the blessings. Neat!

  • 20091220-Friends Visit

    Two hours or so ago, a couple from our local parish came over to give us a plastic bagful of `calamansi` (a grape-sized type of lemon), hand-picked and carefully cut a few centimeters above the stem so as to preserve the fruit from further damage.

    He went on to describe the flooding to the first floor of his paid-off house in Stockton, CA. It’s for his son. The plastic connection to the toilet broke loose. Colors of red and brown wetted the cream-colored carpeting, which had to be replaced for about $6,500.00 from the insurance money. And thanks to an Afghani neighbor, the flooding was stopped by turning off the water main.

    He then went on to describe his find of an upright piano (a Kwai brand) from a local university and his repair of chairs, each weighing around 60 pounds, too heavy for old timers like his wife to carry.

    At around 11:44am, “Minh” got up as if to leave but not until Ben played `O Holy Night` that was out of tune and `Silent Night` of which I sang the last verse in German did they finally said their goodbyes. I moved the big potted plant from his instruction after seeing Paw just standing there like a big dolt.

  • 20091219-Friend Visits

    That afternoon, Eden called and paid a visit to Maw. I was in the middle of dusting the furniture in the main living room when I heard the doorbell ring. Then I snuck upstairs to work on the computer while the twosome talked.

    Later that evening, we read her card together. It was in thanks for Maw’s kindness in listening to the Nutter deal with her husband. She had also given Maw a CD: `Andrea Bocelli: My Christmas`.

    These are friends. Those who remember each other once in a while.
