Ai-chi-waa-waaaa

My lower back hurts like a bitch. Especially on my left side. My mom says I should drink more water and may have kidney issues. I hope I don't, that would suck. But I have learned to love generic IcyHot, it gets the job done.

It sure has been quiet the last few days with no Manny to keep me annoyed/hysterical/happy. I only have Turbokitty to keep me company, who sleeps next to me on my bed or behind the TV.

Tuesday was interesting, I picked up Cathy from SFO, only her flight was 1 1/2 hours behind schedule due to lightening there in Dallas. I entertained myself by paying $2 for a $1 soda in a vending machine with my ATM card. I checked my bank account online last night (like I always do), and the fuckers tried to charge me $10 twice for a damned soda. I called up their customer service hotline listed on the statement, and should be refunded completely. If not, there is hell to pay.

Anyway when she was coming down the escalator to the baggage claim, I decided to be funny and hold up a "Sovulewski" sign and stand next to the limo drivers who were waiting for people. Cathy thought it was quite funny. The limo drivers just thought I was nuts. Oh well.

Yesterday I actually slept almost 10 hours, for once. I was woken up with severe back pain several times, and decided to sleep on my back for once, which felt much better. I usually sleep on my tummy. I got up around 6pm, took a shower, and made some dinner. It was macaroni and cheese, peas, and chicken. Pretty good, if I say so myself. Then Cathy and I were supposed to go to the gym, but she was tired and my back was hurting, so we ended up getting Starbucks and driving around in the East Bay hills listening to weird music on my Ipod.

Now that I'm sitting here at work, I wish I would have brought the generic Icyhot stuff. Manny got it last year when he injured his leg at Sportmart and went to the work-appointed clinic place. I always hoard medicine and ointments and crap, I'm weird like that. Man I wrote a lot today.

P.S. I can't wait till payday. My last paycheck pretty much went to our rent and my car insurance, and I've had to renew my auto club membership (for towing, flat tires, etc) and pay our phone bill and renew my drivers license. So I'm almost broke. I'll get a little money from my parttime job this week, that'll keep me going.

I miss my Honey Bunches Of Oats!!

Guess I should be adding more into my blog, huh? Well here I am. Cathy is in Dallas now visiting friends, and Manny is in Rhode Island visiting family. I have to pick up Cathypoo from SFO in the afternoon today. Manny is coming home on the 10th. Least we are getting a little break from each other. I think for a while we were ready to kill each other. HAHA.

Yesterday I so know I should have gone to the gym but I opted for sleep. I woke up and cooked a homemade dinner, then took a shower, got ready for work and watched South Park. Then I came here. I don't know how much sleep I'm getting today, since I need to pick up some things at WalMart after work and I have to pick up Cathy around 1:30pm.

It's going to be a semi-lonely yet interesting week since Manny is away. Yes the house will be much cleaner. But I have no one to make me watch baseball, no one to warm up my bed for me, no one to make up random songs and harass me while I'm driving. I miss my Mannypoo. If you're reading this, I love you Honey Bunches Of Oats!

Am I awake??

My weekend was pretty normal. Thursday I ran some errands with Manny, got some sleep and did my show at KCRH. It was pretty fun. Manny got to see Depeche Mode with Leeanne. I could have gone but I figured I would do my show since I missed talking on air last week.

Friday I slept in until noon and accompanied Manny to KCRH for his show. Later I had a nice dinner with Noelle while Manny and Ezra played video games at my place. Then we dropped Manny off at BART, Ezra off at his apartment, and picked up Stinky from work. After migrating to Starbucks, I decided I was tired and we went home.

Saturday I worked at KDFC, then came home and scanned/added some pictures from my birthday and other fun events. I took a nap and ended up eating dinner with my parents and going to Wal-Mart. Lovely evening.

Winning isn't everything??

This week has been interesting. Usual shit going on at the college radio station. Awards show went on Tuesday, and of course the people that won deserved it, but at the same time they are paid by the college so some parties disagree. I tend to sit in the middle. A lot of people deserved awards this year, and they are always given to the same types of people. I still have love for everyone at KCRH.. I just think there is one individual who worked very hard this semester and is taking it hard since he didn't win. Enough said.

La la la

Nothing really exciting going on in my life right now. Sunday we went to Maryanne's surprise party. It was fun, Manny entertained the older folks with stories of living in New England. Very interesting.

Yesterday I actually got some decent sleep, and went to Union Landing with Stinky and Manny. I spent most of my time resting in the car. Oh yeah, Turbo scratched the heck out of Manny a while ago, poor Mannypoo. I think he rolled over on top of him on the bed or something. :(

Just another weekend...

I had a pretty good weekend. Thursday I did my show, and was pretty pissed because the damn microphone in the studio still wasn't fixed. I basically played music for 3 1/2 hours, and farted around on Myspace. Ugh.

Friday I slept in until almost 1pm, then Manny and I ran errands and he did his radio show. Ezra showed up and ghetto-rigged it so the mic worked. Where was he on Thursday night? LOL. While Manny was on air, I dragged myself to the gym, got food at Mickey Ds and got gas. Life is expensive.

Saturday I worked at KDFC in the morning, actually having busy work most of my shift. Imagine that, me actually working at work. LOL. I got some sleep, and got groceries at Albertsons. My life is so damn exciting. Okay, here's what I played on my show this week.

Lots of errand running...

Nothing fantastic to report over the last few days. Tuesday I got some sleep, but not nearly enough. Manny and I were running errands, as usual, most of the afternoon. I spent a good portion of my Tuesday sitting in my car on Pike St. blasting NWA and watching about a hundred Coca-Cola trucks rumble past. How exciting.

Yesterday we ran errands in San Francisco, close to Golden Gate Park. We wanted to go to UCSF, but ended up at USF, which is right next door. Why have two separate universities right next to each other? Oh well, Manny's mission was completed, just a little off kilter. Oh yeah, on the way there some fat white guy on the bus started screaming at this Nigerian dude, threatening to beat his ass. For no reason. He just didn't like black people on a crowded bus standing next to him. What an asshole. The bus driver stopped the bus and made everyone get off except the fat dude, while he waited for the police. God I love MUNI.

The rest of my day was spent sleeping and normal stuff. Not even exciting enough to blog about. Oh yeah, I had this dream that some skinny girl was holding hands with Manny and stole him away. I woke up hyperventilating, but Manny was there to soothe me and get my breathing back to normal. I think sometimes I get way too wound up.

Life is exciting

Not a whole bunch of change with me over the last few days or so. Sunday I actually didn't have to work in SF, so I got to go home and sleep, and chill with my folks. I went to Dick's Resturant with Davina and Manny, they give great food and great portions there.

Yesterday I worked a longass shift here, then ran errands with Manny, and went home and did housework.

Later this morning I'm going to force myself to go to the gym, and run more errands with Manny. My life is so damn exciting.

I've had a busy week, running errands and working and crap. I should really hit the gym this next week, though.

Cha cha changes..

I haven't been getting nearly enough sleep the last few days. Tuesday I got my car worked on and it took 9 1/2 hours. That sucked. I was driving the mechanics crazy. It was great. They knocked off like $200 worth of labor since it was finished almost 5 hours after they promised me. It was all good, but I got almost no sleep that day.

Today I was busy running errands with Manny in the early afternoon in Santa Clara, then I went with Michelle to my Uncle Jims house to drop off Easter crap, then to Southland Mall and Target. I finally got that mop bucket I needed so I can give our floor at home a good mopping. My life is pathetic when I get excited about mopping. Pathetic and scary.

Free Fm is not looking good right now. Darian O Toole got fired last month, and John London got fired over the weekend. Darian was drinking, John was offering listeners 5 grand to off Penn Jellette. Unfortunately people thought it was a serious threat. Oh well, guess John finally pushed the limit too far.

Max FM fired its jocks this week. They aren't necesserily changing formats, though. That's how it goes in radio, one day you have a job, one day you don't. Sometimes it's your fault, most of the time its not. Very risky business, entertainment can be. Thank god I work for a non-profit most of the time. If I lost my commercial gigs, it would suck but I could survive. Okay I think it's nappytime. Later!

More trip stuff..

These are more videos from my trip to L.A!! Universal Studios, baby!!

My trip to L.A.!

Yes everyone I am back from my nice weeklong vacation in L.A.!!!!! It was a blast!! Plenty to talk about and illustrate!!!

We left really late on Sunday night and took our time getting down there. Even after I took a 2 hour nap in some weird town near the Grapevine, we still arrived in Hollywood around 9am. We took plenty of interesting pics there.

























Later that night after getting settled in the hotel we went to the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney, I didnt take any good pics there though.

On Tuesday it was raining (BOO!!) so we went to Sonny McClanes in Santa Monica which is a world famous west coast Boston sports hangout.


Stuck in L.A. traffic!!!

Trying to beatbox in the car during peak traffic in L.A.!

Then we went to Dave and Busters there in Anaheim and spent more money. We didn't take pics there though.

On Thursday we took a tour of Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City but they wouldn't let us take pics once on the property, since most productions companies there are anal. I did see the Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune sets, and Adam Sandler's golf cart!



Real proton pack and helmet worn by Dan Akroyd in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.


No I don't know the old man, and he looks frightened. I think I blinded him. LOL

Then we went to a taping of Jay Leno that aired on Thursday April 6th, and a taping of Last Call with Carson Daly that will air early Saturday morning April 15th.




Friday we spent the day at Universal Studios in Hollywood and Universal Citywalk. It was a great ending to our vacation. Except for the incident with the psycho yuppie in the parking garage. Please IM me for that one, LOL.



Blues Brothers!!

Marilyn Monroe


Whoville used in The Grinch

From War Of The Worlds

The Fast and the Furious










SHAQ!






Okay that's about it!!

Dental trip from hell!

The past few days have been rather interesting. I am preparing to leave for vacation on Sunday night, I probably won't post again until after I get back. I'll have plenty of pics, hopefully. :)

I got to go through the enduring ordeal of finally goin to the dentist on Thursday morning. Not a fun experience whatsoever. First of all, the orthodontist gave me the lovely news that my jaw is fucked up. I have to consult a special oral surgeon for that. (and it will probably cost $30,000). Second of all, I was supposed to be done by noon, tops. I left the place at fuckin 2! Arrgh!

That's not the worst part of going. They had to take all my x-rays twice, because my mouth is so small and the stupid film things wouldn't fit in my mouth properly. I hate having small objects rammed in my mouth by some scary-ass dental assistants. I FINALLY got to see the damn dentist, and he reinterated that fact that my teeth are jacked up. A lot. I poked around in my mouth for about 5 minutes, then told me I need two root canals, 4 extractions and like 17 fillings. YAY. The estimated cost?... 12,000 dollars. No that ain't a typo. I don't have an extra 12 grand lying around. Even if my work covers 80%, I dont have an extra 3 grand lying around. Guess I'll live with fucked up teeth until I get insurance.

Well, I hope I have tons of fun on vacation. I may be doing a day airshift at KKIQ in a few Sundays, wish me luck on that!

keep beating the pavement....

Guess I'll leave this one short and sweet. I was on KKIQ early Tuesday morning. It was hella fun, playing Rod Stewart and Kelly Clarkson. Oh well. I'll be back on Friday morning from 12-5am!

Paid my respects...

I had a pretty decent weekend. I actually had some time off, and was able to get sleep, watch some Miami Vice, and burn a few CDs for my homegirl Sandi that asked me a while back to do so.

Yesterday I finally got to go to Sebastopol and visit my dead relatives'graves. I saw my grandma Joe who passed on when I was 10. I haven't been up there since then. Also by her side is my grandpa George who died in 1973, my grandma's parents, and my Uncle Walt who passed on in 1978. It was cool to pay my respects again and say hi to grandma. I still miss her, and someday I'll be reunited with her and get to meet those other folks who passed on before I was born. I also think of it this way... if she hadn't have died, I would have never moved to San Leandro, and wouldn't have gone to Chabot, and probably never met Manny. I don't even know what kind of life I would have led if I had gone to high school there in Oakland. HMMM.. makes ya think , huh?

I'm in love.. with an Ipod

I finally got a 60 GB Ipod today, I couldn't help myself.


Oh I got my brakes done today. $165..whoo. Well, least they are ceramic brake pads, and have a lifetime warranty. So I spent a pretty penny today, and I'll just have to watch my money the next week or so. KDFC should be payin me this week, but not much. Next week I get my work paycheck and Manny's too, and I get to write a rent check, and a gym payment. Hooray for me. I think I may hold off on paying for a stinking haircut. Least my vacation is paid for. Life is expensive, dammit.

Baby, I I I Can't wait!! (that's a song, people)

Yeah I had one busyass weekend. Not too much outside activities, but I pretty much have been living here at work. 3 twelve hour shifts this weekend alone. Thank god tonight I'm only working 8 hours. WHOOOOOOO!!!

I'm still kinda sick. I have been taking my antibiotics regularly and sinus meds when I need them. I think not having much sleep the last 3 days + walking to and from BART in SF in the rain is not helping me much. Later today I'm going to Rocklin/Roseville again with Leeanne and Manny, to check out more apartments.

My boss at KKIQ (where I do occasional fill-ins) wants me to work a few days next week. I can definitely do at least one of the days. YES!!

Two weeks from now, I will be comfortably resting (and probably getting freaky) in our hotel in Anaheim. I can't wait!!

Lordy McLord Lord

Guess I had an okay day today. I have strep + a sinus infection, in case I forgot to tell you guys. I'm on some heavyduty antibiotics. Not fun. Manny is going to the World Baseball Classic in San Diego for the next two days. Lucky bastard.

Right now I'm frustrated as hell. I'm here at work, and something rather important is going wrong.. and the engineer is not calling me back!! I rarely call folks at 1am, but when a problem is affecting like 50 + radio stations, its wise to get the problem fixed. I have been trying to contact the dude for 45 minutes. If he don't call back in like 5 min, I'm calling the other contact, his boss. OOOHWEEEE.

Only like 2 weeks to go till vacay!!

It has been a few days, yes it has. I would like to say I was busy as hell. But I'm still sick and spent the last 3 days or so doing almost nothing at home. I actually left a voicemail at the doctor's office, so hopefully I can get seen tommorrow.

I did my show last night. Davina came along. It was fun, but my throat was still hurting. She also mentioned that I looked almost as fat as her. That didn't really help my self esteem much. Here's what I played.
