Scones and My Kitty!

Wow. I have a lot to talk about here…

Last night was very busy. I went to the gym for an hour and biked. Then came home and cleaned the kitchen in prep for the night.

Constantine came over and he brought me a present! One of those memory foam things for my bed! How nice of him! 🙂

So we went grocery shopping and bought all the stuff we needed to make. Spent the whole night cooking and baking and having a good time! We made Peach Apricot glaze chicken, Ham and Cream Cheese Roll ups, and Pumpkin Scones! All of them turned out excellent except for the Pumpkin Scones, which weren’t horrible, but also not great!

We had a really good time making all those even though it was very hectic because I was also dealing with a large issue at work.

While we were icing the scones though my mom called. I answer and she tells me she’s at the animal hospital…..

My kitty (Elvis) the one that Adam saved from the street died last night. 🙁 He had a heart attack. It was very sad news. He wasn’t all that old either really…

RIP Elvis…

In other news. I’ve been working very hard on updating Gas Tracker. It’s a neat little PHP thing to help you track your gas receipts. The guy who wrote it originally hasn’t updated it in over a year, and it was a mess if you ask me. So I put it all into classes and basically completely re-wrote it all. It still has a lot of work to do (Mostly on the whole Maint Events part) but it’s very nice. You can see my Stats Here!

Next I am going to work on something very similar only for paychecks! Should be much easier to write as well. Cause everyone knows I’m a stats whore!

Oksana comes this weekend and I’m very excited! Cleaning and what not tonight and then tomorrow morning we pick her up from the airport, then to the Getty!

OK. I’m out everyone. Bye!

More Counties Consider RAGBRAI Ban – KCCI Des Moines

This story is really sad. I mean, really, who’s the IDIOT that sued because some guy hit a crack in the road and died? Serious??!?!?

That’s all a part of RIDING YOUR BIKE. There are dangers associated with doing as such. YOU KNOW about them when you get ON THE BIKE.

It’s really sad that such a fun and great ride could be in jeopardy because one asshole wanted a quick payout. Yes, I’m sorry that someone died, it sucks when that happens. But take responsibility! The guy knew that there was a danger when he squeezed into those tight little shorts!

UGH!

Principal Bank Fucked up!

So, I’ve had Principal Bank for quite a while now. I think it’s been over 4 years, ever since I got pissed off at Wells Fargo a while back (The last thing I can find was from 2002 when I complained about WF!).

Anyways, I have 4 accounts with them, three checking and 1 savings. The three checking accounts all have over draft protection by using the savings account. I keep a very limited amount of money in the one checking account that I carry the debit card for ($250 every two weeks) which is typically exactly how much I spend. Anyways, this last period I went over by $5 because of a gas purchase. Usually not a big deal because it’s automatically covered by my savings account. PLUS I had an automatic deposit which should cover it the same day.

Anyways, So I don’t really worry about it and I stop using that card. So on Monday I come in and there’s an overdraft fee on that account. So I’m like. WTF! This morning I called them and they said that my savings account has gone dormant because I haven’t used it in 12 months.

Sooooo.

1) Why was I not notified that it was going dormant? How am I supposed to know this shit?
2) I made a $50 deposit to it in July! She claimed she couldn’t find that in my records.

Very annoying.

THEN. I have two automatic transfers from account A. One for $695 into account B and then one for $250 into account C. These two transfers were supposed to have happened yesterday. But they still have not gone through!

UGH!

Very annoying.

I’d just like everyone to know that I still hate banks!

Patrick Wolf

So last night I went out to a concert in LA with Constantine. We saw a guy named Patrick Wolf. He was VERY gay. But also VERY VERY VERY good. Lots of craziness at his concert and lots of energy. Check out the video below…

We got there at 8:00 and he didn’t go on till 10:30. The place was so hot, but I had a ton of fun! Well worth going.

He also kept taking clothes off throughout the concert! Very yummy. There was some crazy french man standing in front of us.

Anyways, towards the end he threw out a cape thing into the audience and boys went CRAZY! Like 10-15 people ON THE FLOOR fighting over it. In the end we saw three of them standing at the bar with it still wrapped in their fists having the bar tender cut it into pieces for them all!

If he’s ever in your area, I highly suggest going to check it out!

UPDATE: So I’m being linked too by some board. These are the FREAKS who were fighting over the cape and trampling on top of people.. And they are calling my blog sad? Excuse me? I’m not the one in LOVE with patrick wolf and am pissed that he didn’t stare at me the whole time, etc. Get a life people.

So we got home about 1am and I decided that I would sleep in, so put my phone on silence. Well I got up at 8am this morning and showered and then watched an episode of The Daily Show and then started driving into the office. On my way there, I remembered that my phone was on silence, so I checked it… Three missed calls from the CEO and one missed call from a coworker! Oh GREAT!

Thankfully I was able to walk them through fixing the issues over the phone!

All My Songs – 2

So last time it took me over 5 months to listen to all my songs. For some reason this time it only took me 3 months!

Last night I got home and did some work. Sat down on the couch to watch a little TV and take a break and then ended up falling asleep. I didn’t get anything else done. Tonight I’m going to a Patrick Wolf concert with Constantine.
