Emergency Back-up

I'm the first to admit that I need help. I can't beat this on my own. The only problem is that I'm not sure if I want help.

I am a chocoholic. I need my doses daily. I'm at the point where I have back up stock sitting on my desk 24-hours a day. I was thinking of making a back up for my back up. Something like a metal box with a glass window and a small hammer.

I've tried quitting cold turkey but then I make up lost time and go on a chocolate-eating rampage where anything that looks like chocolate, I scarf down in seconds flat. When I get like that, I try to stay away from the bathroom.

As I Wait

I'm sitting here in the salon waiting to get my haircut. This gives me the opportunity to do a lot if thinking . This also gives me the opportunity to realize how boring my life really is. Most blogs on the internet are full of valuable information and insight. My blog talks about sticky notes and broken refrigerators.

The only thing that makes me feel a little better is the fact that there is one person who's life is a bit more pathetic than mine. That would be the person who finds the time to read this crap.

Love Ya!

The Box Buster

If you read this boring blog, you may think this is a repeat. I've talked about my Maytag refrigerator in the past. Simply scroll down and read the problems I've had this ice box.

The last time I talked about this piece of crap, I was having problems with the ice maker. Well now that's the least of my worries. Not only do I have a problem with the ice maker but I have a problem with the whole damn box.

Two days ago the refrigerator started making a clicking an buzzing noise. I opened the freezer door and it was HOT inside. My ice cream was white soup and my ice cubes are now water puddles on the kitchen floor. This fridge is only three years old!

Today a repairman stopped by, walked through the door, opened the back of the fridge, poked around for THREE minutes, he closed the back panel and said ''your compressor needs to be replaced, that will cost around $800.,I don't do that kind of repair & that will be $49. For the house call''.

So in five minutes it costed me fifty bucks to be told that my fridge sucks Of course I refused to pay for his horrible advice and he left without incident.

That was the last straw with this junk box. I got on the phone and called Maytag. I let loose on the customer service. I told them the numerous problems I have had with this devil-box. I asked them where the hell is the Maytag repairman. Is he overworked with all the other broken boxes?

Long story short, the maytag repairman is coming to my house on tuesday to repair my fridge. I'll keep you updated since I know you're truly concerned (yeah right).

My Life is a Sticky Note

My memory was never any good. For as long as I can remember (no pun intended). I always had to depend on notes. Whoever invented sticky notes is an amazing person.

My life is a sticky note. I need these square little pieces of gold (yellow gold). The only problem now is that my desk, floor, walls are being taken over by these tree slices. I have notes everywhere. The biggest problem is that I have sticky notes reminding me what other sticky notes mean. It's becoming a endless cycle of notes branching off each other, depending on each other for their true meaning.

I made the decision today to cut all ties with these sticky notes. Sticky notes are no longer my friend. Today I copied down all the messages from these sticky notes and either put them in my PDA or put them on my computer.

BTW, if you have a Mac, like I do, there's an application called ''Stickies''. It's basically electronic sticky notes. Well now i'm a ''stickies addict'' I cleaned up my desktop only to make a mess of my desktop. (figure it out)

Love ya!

Psycho Allen

I just found this picture from the webcam archives. When I first saw it, I laughed because of the (usual) psycho look on my face. I also looked a mess because of another 14 hour work day.

So the story behind this photo is that I was setting up cameras in the PNN Radio main studio. When I was making adjustments to this particular camera, I could hear the clicking (which meant the camera was on). I couldn't figure out how the camera could be on since it was unplugged. Hence the candid shot.

I look like a bank robber running out of the bank only to realize the camera got me. BTW, the camera was not running without power. It happens to have a backup battery.

Cookin' with Pepper

It's saturday night and it's movie night. Pepper's cookin' up some fried chicken, green beans, macaroni & cheese. We've got the popcorn ready along with the chocolate cake, candy and ice cream.

I think after tonight, I'm going to need some pepto.
