Yay! Blog!

• Happy 4th of July, y'all!
• This morning in the shower, I looked out the window and saw a cloud shaped like Africa. There was even another cloud attached to the top right of it that could have been Asia. Europe was missing, though.

• This 2-year divorce waiting period bill comes from the same man who started the bullshit to prevent two people of the same sex who love each other from getting married. He wants to make sure people who don't love each other find it difficult to get a divorce. My hero, state Rep. Jessica Farrar, D-Houston says, "I don't think it's the government's job to force people to stay unhappily married," Thank you, Rep. Farrar. It should be as simple as that, but it probably won't be.
• Tony Perkins said something on The Colbert Report about “Marriage is the building block for society.” So... all of us single people don't contribute to society? And don't tell me that you have to be married to have children to perpetuate society. I already know what it takes to have children, and marriage is NOT a requirement.
• On another note, today is the 1st anniversary of the day I bought my house. So far, both garage door openers broke (still unfixed), the bathroom sink plumbing leaked into the music room (clean water, thank you), the air conditioner broke and one side of the fence fell down. Joys of home ownership. I love my house, though.

• My air conditioner is dead. The home warranty is supposed to cover replacement, but I'm still waiting to hear. I thought being without air conditioning would be a lot worse. I'm hot, but it's bothering Lily dawg more than me. She woke me up with her panting a few times last night.
• I was poking around my Web hosting company's Web site, and I saw that they've changed their array of services. They're offering a lot more functionality to new customers for the amount that I'm paying. I asked if they would upgrade me, and they did. I have unlimited bandwidth now! And I can have up to 30 different Web sites on one account. Not that I could keep up with 30 different Web sites, but I could have them if I wanted!
• I'm working on one new Web site now. That's all I have to say about that.
• It's hard to do housework when there's no air conditioning. Once you work up a sweat, you don't lose it. I guess I could drive around... my car has great air conditioning.
• I went to Madam Mam's for lunch. I had a dish with crunchy green beans, chicken, shredded coconut and peanuts with coconut cream on top. It was surrounded by sliced boiled egg and sitting in some lime and thai pepper sauce. I think it also had crack in it because I want to go back for more now.

If you've been wondering what I've been up to lately, one of my distractions has been learning to make videos. Here's one where my friend Brian and I are at Castle Hill Cafe enjoying happy hour and reminiscing about lunch that day.
