So our roomate Tommy brought home a new cat today.  Her name is now Belldandy and she is a sweet little siamese mix.  She dirty and pitifully thin.  We already have one cat, named Strider, he’s really rambunctious.  The more astute amoung you might have noticed something.  The pronouns are important here.  She and He.  Strider was freaked out at first but once he figured out that she was a girl he tried to mount her.  We stopped that as soon as we saw what he was doing.

I’m not annoyed he brought home a new cat, she as sweet as can be, and obviously in need of a good home.  Its just the timing couldn’t be worse.  Yesterday Jeff and I tried to install our new washer and dryer.  To do that we had to clean up the wash room which is has been the cats litter room since he got here.  Lett me tell you what we found.  The litter box was full of crap, and even after dumping it out the bottom was caked in crap.  We lack the the proper cleaning items to clean it.  There was also cat piss all over the floor.  Jeff and I cleaned it up and called Tommy and told him he needed to take better care of him.  That was last night.  Then Tommy came home with a second cat.  At first Strider didn’t know what she was.  Then he figured it out.  Then he was overly aggressive.  He bit me, hard, and he bit Cale.  Then he charged my arm with his head, hard enough to leave a bruise.

Tommy brought home a new litterbox, but no more litter.  I think Belldandy used his bed.  Do to the lack of litter, I decided that it would have to do.

He finally came home after we had been trying to call him all evening.

I am so annoyed.  To be fair as soon as we told him of the situation he went out and bought litter and took care of it.  Argh, I wish he would just take care of his cats so I don’t have to go through this.

Yesterday was my birthday, and thanks for all the birthday wishes!

As for the video of the band I still haven’t gotten it from my friend that recorded it for me.  I solemnly swear I will get it within this week!  Cross my heart!

Well yesterday I spent most of the day working on a paper and then I had class from 5:00 to 7:00, but I still managed to hang out with my friends.  I got elected Vice-President of Phi Alpha Theta, the history honors society yesterday, BTW.  So I hung out with the PAT people for lunch.  Then Jeff picked me up after class and we had dinner and went back to the apartment to hang out with the ladies, plus Jeff and Quinton.  Jackie brought nummy nummy cheesecake, it was fun.  We also got a free washer and dryer yesterday too!  One of Jeff’s friends from work got a new washer and dryer so he gave us his old one.  He said that the only problem with it is that the automatic shut-off doesn’t work so we shouldn’t open the washer while its running.  They aren’t nice and new, but they are free and so long as they clean our clothes we’re happy.  But after writing a paper all day I was pretty tired so we went to bed early.  Of course being woken up at 6:00 in the morning so that someone could sing happy birthday to me probably also contributed to the tired thing.  (Thanks for that Mom and Dad.)

I know I should update more, but there isn’t alot to update about.  Lately it’s mostly been paper writing.  Well its almost class time so I best be off.

Well we didn’t win.  We made wha I thought was a good showing but we were plaugued by technical difficulties.  We arent sure how the band that won, won.  They failed out of one of their songs.  And fan favorite went to a band that had a lot of friends there to cheer for them.  The guys are really bmmed I’m not so much.  I mean we lost but we had fun getting there and we have some really sweet shirts to show for it.,  We had a friend there with a video camera so hopefully I can put up some video of our stunning defeat.

Nights ya’ll

Jeff and I have a new bed! We got it for around $400 dollars and it is super comfy! We went to this place called *digs through wallet to find the buisness card* Beds-Beds-Beds. It this warehouse place (literally a warehouse, it looks like they’ve converted an old Jiffy Lube building by filling it with matresses) and they sell matress for up to 60% off the retail price. Nothing fancy, no nice displays, nothing. Just matresses wrapped in plastic sitting atop one another. We walked in the guy came up to help us and we talked. He tried to upsell us to a more expensive Sealy but I don’t hold that against him. He works on commission, when I made it obvious I wasn’t switching from the one we liked, he helped us get a cheaper frame to put it on. The bed is some brand I don’t really recognize, meaning its not a serta or a sealy, but it is very comfortable. We told him we were looking for something just a tad softer than firm and he asked us to lay on that one. Jeff and I nearly fell asleep in fifteen minutes on it. We had it delivered later that day and woila! Bed.

The swimming pool by our apartment is also open and Jeff and I have been partaking in its chilly goodness. Gosh is it cold but after awhile you get used to it. It is really nice. Unfortantly I got a bit of a burn across my nose and cheeks. I think Jeff and I are going to invest in waterproof sunscreen and spend most of our time at the pool.

I just, literally five minutes before class started, finished my paper for African American studies.  I wrote on Blackface: Past and Present and in that topic I’ve found something that I am passionate about.  I think that I might turn this paper into my senior paper.  Its a fascinating topic that I might expound upon in a later post.  Needless to say I get up on a soapbox concerning some of it.

I’m singing in Jeff’s band for rock band, and we are no longer the Bob Doles…. we are now uNecess”ary Punct-uation,.  The name amuses me.  I’m hoping that some of my friends can come and they can record us so that I can post it on here. We perform tomorrow…. I’m not to nervous.  I’m not entirely sure why but whatever.

Okay… I’ll let you go now, I really should be paying attention to class.

So the bad weather is mostly gone and we didn’t get blown away.  Actually yesterday turned out to be a pretty good day I spent the evening hanging out with Sarah and Haley which was fun.  We also watched Battlestar Galactica which was fabulous.  When Jeff gets off work we are going… somewhere so that Jeff can get with his Rock Band and practice for a contest that they are entering.  I think their band name is moronic though the Bob Dole Bob Doles Bob Doles… Bob Dole.  I think its supposed to be a reference to something but I don’t get it, and I’m wondering how many other people will.  Jeff’s really excited though.  I hope they win, I don’t even know if there are prizes.

Oh!  Jeff and I started looking at beds.  We went to Big Lots and found a Sealy mattress for less than $400.  We also found a whole bunch of mattress stores on this one road so we are going to start hitting them one by one.  Ah joy.  I can’t wait to have a real bed.
