I had forgotten about this site. It really makes this blog a much more interesting read. Maybe I should pornolize every entry.

The Warrant show didn't work out last night. It ended up not being Warrant, but just Jani Lane doing some solo shit and "selected hits" from the Warrant days. And the cover was $15. Fuck that. Just Jani isn't worth that. So Justin and I went to the movies instead. I won the coin toss so we saw Resident Evil. I dug it. 3 unemployment checks. But I guess now I have to change my ratings system since I am no longer on the dole. I give Resident Evil, 3 Warrant hit songs. :)

T-minus 2 hours until I'm going where the down boys go. Gooo-ooo-whooa-oooo. Go! You're givin' me the runaround, make me feel like your fool. I don't care where we go tonight, take me along with yooouuuuuu.

Ok. It's been about a week or so since I decided to quit smoking. I smoked a pack last weekend. But haven't since. Let's see if I can make it through this weekend. I think I can. There are some plans in the works, but nothing definite. If I go out and get really drunk, I might be tempted, so maybe it would be best to avoid any lushy entanglements.

I'm going to start taking some advice from this article. Maybe it will make this blog heaps more interesting. I like the part about making shit up. Now if only I could think of something good...

This can go under the "What the fuck is wrong with people?" heading.

Ok, while I am still not smoking, I did a little bit of back sliding this weekend and smoked a pack. That was Saturday. Sunday I was clean, and today I'm still clean so I'm really trying to do this. Even though no one believes me. That's ok. I wouldn't believe me either. I've quit a bunch of times and I usually fail. I really want to quit this time. I think that makes a difference.

Is it possible to have weblog inadequacy issues? I'm going along having a good time with my little weblog here. Not trying to set the world on fire, just having fun with it.

[This post has been interrupted because MTV2 is playing Hot for Teacher. I love this station....}

Anyway, like I was saying, I am not trying to be all cool and shit with this, just being me in a weblog. So I was having a conversation with someone last night about another person's weblog. And then I started thinking about the type of things I post. My battles with Taco Bell, Star Wars links, work shit, etc... Nothing very thought provoking or very interesting. Maybe it's a good thing no one is actually reading this. Bloglin seems to be a little on the mediocre side. But I never claimed it would be anything different. So I guess I've overcome the blog inadequacy issues, by accepting it for what it is. I feel much better now. But it would be nice to be that person that is able to cause an effect on someone.

Now that that is out of the way, maybe I should go get myself a steak quesadilla...

I'm thinking that I would really like one of these. I'm partial to the Rogue model.

Ok, back to cleaning...

Still not smoking. But now I'm starting to feel a little cranky. Damn mood swings. And I'm very tired. I should be getting sick soon. Every time I've quit for more than 2 days, I've gotten sick. I think it's the shit working itself out from my lungs. I hate hate hate the withdrawl symptoms. My goal is just to make it through the weekend. Which shouldn't be too hard because the parents are in town and I never smoke when they are around.

Damn. Yesterday was the official 9 month anniversary of bloglin. I missed it. I should probably take myself out to lunch to celebrate. Maybe Taco Bell...

Taco Bell vs. Krisobi: I kicked Taco bell's ass! (Or just resisted the tempation to go there.)

I quit smoking yesterday after work. That actually means I ran out of smokes during my lunch run to Taco Bell and I didn't stop on the way home to get more. Then I started thinking that I should just see how long I could go without smoking. I made it through the morning commute. And it nice not to have that icky feeling in my mouth. Good times. I'm not supposed to go to Taco Bell today, but it might have to happen. I should just eat that noodle soup shit I brought in yesterday. I'm going out to lunch tomorrow so that should be a good compromise.

There was an email earlier this morning that said there was donuts in the breakroom from the furniture guys. I saw 'furniture guys' and started thinking that my new office furniture was here. I got all excited for no reason. They were delivering the new conference room chairs. Which are very nice, but not my office furniture. Maybe tomorrow...

Something strange happened this morning. I woke up at 6:30 in the morning. Nothing odd about that until I add the fact that I forgot to turn the alarm clock on when I went to bed last night! I woke up on my own. Wow. No help from the dog, either. My internal alarm has reset itself from 9-10 in the morning to 6:30. I was in awe. But I was still late to work. I mean, I still had to lie in bed and ponder the wonder that was waking up at 6:30 on my own with no outside help. That took at least 10 minutes.

I can't stop watching this hand-drawn clock. It's totally mesmerizing. I'm so easily amused.

This site is fascinating me. Too bad some of the auctions are not still active. I'm digging lots of these groovy things.

In the great battle of krisobi sleeping on the couch all day vs. krisobi having a productive Sunday and getting shit done, the productive krisobi got her ass kicked. I blame it all on the 12 hour drinking binge that was my Saturday. Good times. I hope my pictures came out.

This is my 5th week of work. This is the first week where I actually feel like I belong here. There are some projects that I'm working on. I've gotten drunk with co-workers and have started gossiping. All signs of being included. Now the next step is to wait for the new office furniture. I was told 4-6 weeks, so it could possibly be here this week. When that gets here, then I can bring in all my cool work stuff and it will look like me in here instead of some boring office. And someone else started here today so I am no longer the new person. I wonder if they are doing that contract shit with him?

My birth date is at position 27,801,264 in pi. This site that I found through metafilter lets you know if your birth date falls within the first 100,000,000 digits of pi. This knowledge should do a lot for my dating life. "Hey baby, did you know that my birthdate is at position 27,801,264 in pi?" I'll have to beat the dudes off with sticks.

Last night after work I drove past the great house I found on Realtor.com. It's not bad, but it is a little bit in the hood. Which explains the great price. Part of me wants to go and check out the inside to see if it's as nice as the pictures claim, I don't think I'm going to. I don't want to live in the hood by myself.

More from the incredibly interesting life of Kris... I went to bed at 9:45 last night. Wooo-eee! That was early. Lately, I've been pretty tired so I thought I was take care of that with a night of uber-sleep. However, I got a phone call at 1:30 in the morning. Then there was an hour and half conversation or so. So, I needed to stop for a big ass coffee at Brueggers. They have some hazelnut shit that totally rocks the house.

My blog is almost 9 months old. Wow. If I had gotten pregnant when I started it, I'd have a kid by now. Or just about. The last nine months have been a bit of a whirlwind at times. Things are starting to settle a little.

I went to Endicott last weekend to see some good friends. It was a great time. Margaritas and Coronas were involved. Lisa and Jeff just bought a house. I totally love it. It's not some mass produced cookie cutter suburb house. There's a ton of character and they did a great job fixing it up. Hopefully someday, I will be in a similar situation.

There's a place on Realtor.com. Right here. I love the way that place looks. But I need to wait and see if I want to stay here before I start trying to buy houses. Not to mention trying to dig myself out of this mountain of debt I accumulated during the no job, no money phase.

What drug are you? This is me.

I am a comb-binding MASTER!!!! If anyone needs anything comb-bound, come and see me.

I am very frustrated right now. Almost to a point where I could concievably do something that will come back and bite me in the ass later on. I don't really know what that something would be, but it's there. I know what has to be done. Some people can just frustrate me to no end.

Look. Here are photos of recently arrested people who were alledgedly engaged in prostitutional activites. None of them look too happy. Smile! It's your mugshot!

In the battle of Taco Bell vs. krisobi:

Taco Bell: 1
krisobi: 0

This week I've made a pretty good effort to change my eating habits to something a little more normal and not quite the eat-everything-that-is-around plan that I have had going forever. Part of it is being closer to 30 and wanting to be a good looking 30, another part is just not being happy with the way I look. And how can I expect anyone else to find me attractive if I don't. And an even bigger part is that I need to cut down the food budget. So I started eating this organic soup for lunch that Wegman's had on sale. (4 for $5) It's actually pretty good. I've been bringing in a couple of apples to snack on. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Some carrot sticks for more snacking in the afternoon. And lastly some soynuts. They aren't the best tasting things, but the salted ones aren't bad. I'm getting used to them. And then for dinner I've been trying to have a sandwich. (Last night it was 2, but the tunafish was really good)

So what's my problem today? I am so craving Taco Bell. One of those new steak quesadillas and a soft taco supreme. Mmmmmmmm.... I have $4 in my wallet, which is enough for the Bell-goodness. Should I give in? Is this a test? Will I continously backslide into my previous eating orgy? This is the discussion that's been going on in my brain for most of the morning.

Listening to Wax, 13 Unlucky Number. I've had this CD since the college years. They had that one hit, California, and then nothing. I think it's a really good CD. All the songs are nice and short. It's catchy. So that's in the playlist today. I tend to put in one CD and just listen to it over and over. Too lazy to change it? Maybe. Once I bring in a radio I can listen to Stern in the mornings. That should break it up a little.

Yep. It's March. Almost a full week into it. Nothing is going on. I'm thinking that this blog might go the way of all the other things I start and never finish. Or maybe not, maybe I'll do a complete turn around and start posting like mad.
