problems problems and more problems...

So my back hurts... from sitting in a computer chair that I replaced cause it was giving me back problems. Just stupid me forgot. So chucking that chair OUT the door and getting another one.

Grif is still having headache problems... the neurologist told him he thinks its an aneurysm, so we're all going nuts here. Though the new medication he says makes the headache go away completely which means it shouldn't be an aneurysm... but we can even freaking know until this coming week hopefully cause of the goddamn insurance have to wait for freaking approval. And freaking docs making is panic uncontrolably and then saying, but you gotta wait til we get approval for a freaking MRI. Bastards. Though the regular doc gave Grif Xanax so that he could call down about the whole thing and make sure the damn thing doesn't burst if he does have one... if you're reading this and don't know what happens if it bursts, go look it up cause I'm not gonna say it here cause I don't wanna think about it.

so anyway... good news, we went to a LAN party last night, was a bit fun... not as fun as it could be cause they're all losers that wouldn't play Quake 2... but cause the computers were taken there gave me a good excuse to clean UP the computer desk that probably had about 10 layers of dust on it. But now once again looking very nice and clean, wish the rest of the house could look that way, but I'm sure by the end of the week the computer desk will once again get trashed.

Niri is becoming a dog... all nice and mellow when she wants to cuddle and sleep and all that but when she wants to play, its bounce everywhere on the dogs on the couch, fly over the couch to behind it, put claws in couch to run back and forth on the top of the back... good thing we don't care about the couch and the cover cause its just bout destroyed. But at least she's getting back at the dogs for bugging her.

Persistance pays off for puppies. I closed both of our doors to lock the dogs in the den. They're sliding doors. Well little miss Nya, i guess, kept clawing at the door and some how got it OPEN, proceeded to the bathroom, got the roll of toilet paper (new northern TRIPLE rolls) and shreaded it up and down the hallway. So instead of cleaning it up right now I'm sitting here and writing about it. Course I need to clean the den too, because (once again) Nya likes to bring in the pieces of dead wood outside and shread them INSIDE instead of outside. Nox knows better but I'm sure she's egging Nya on just to get Nya in trouble. Or Nya is just plain ignoring Nox when she tells her she'll get in trouble for it. Just depends on if we want to believe Nox is nice or evil. I vote evil, but that's just me.

alrighty

So I've been learning a lot about linux, and how sucky some people can install it and run it, and then think someone else can work with it. But after dealing with really nice, and seemingly smart tech support people... we got email working on the new thecaperadio.com You would think that wouldn't be a big deal, but a few days later its a big freaking deal. Its not the tech support people's fault they have to provide support for a lowsy install of freeBSD, they just have to deal with people like me calling up and bitching about it. Though I have to give the web host props for being ..hm... i dunno... incredibly stupid?... anyway, they offer 100GB of a bandwidth transfer a month, for most people that's a fair amount. For people running a large radio station, that wouldn't be enough. However we're running a small to medium shoutcast server and its just not quite enough we think. But "we think" you ask? Yeah because well WE don't know and neither do THEY! They can't track it! They offer only 100GB transfer, but they can't tell if we use more! I've know this over a week and I still can't get over it, and my head hurts from shaking it at them so much.

I'm sure that some of you reading that will be like "uh... what? huh?" but anyway, had it to get it out there.

So I think we have a few stupid animals in the house. We have computer chairs with arms on it, but you can put your arm under the arm on the chair, you know the kind. Well everytime Niri wants to jump on my lap, she jumps through it, and every single time, she bumps her head on it, every single time, she has NOT learned... I guess it doesn't hurt enough.

Now onto Nya... besides the recent pooping in the house, she's been pretty good, oh wait, then there's the constantly getting into the garbage, constantly bringin in big brittle pieces of dead wood and making sure they fall apart ALL over the den. Oh and today she growled at me because Bayvin was being bad and I put her in her room and she was crying in there, Nya wasn't happy with me punishing Bayvin.
She also "styles" her ears. Not sure if she has control over it or not, but she seems to, cause each day it changes. Couple days she had the "bat" look, they were both standing straight up, she looked like a bat. There's the "ears to the right" look, where they both flop in the same direction. Then there's the "side pigtail" one side is floppy the other sticks straight up! Its really funny to look at, I keep trying to take pictures, but is so hard, she doesn't like the flash and after 2 pictures she's barking at me. here are some new ones

Bayvin acting like Nya, both of them barking at me.


Nya and Niri laying next to eachother


the "side pigtail" look, sorta, the other one isn't quite floppy enough but you get the idea


blurry pic of the bat ears, when you're looking straight on its funnier

pretty ticked off actually...

At our animal shelter.

so when get got Nya, a puppy, she came home with antibotics just incase she caught something while she was there. We picked up Niri wednesday and they said she's be a little sneezy because the surgery drops their immune system, so I didn't expect her to get real sick, but ya know when I was in there, almost all the cats/kittens were sneezing. However SHE didn't come home with antibotics, and yesterday I had to go spend $40 on antibotics. So really pissed that a puppy that really didn't need it had to take antibotics, yet a cat that came HOME sick didn't get them. That's like specism or something, obviously cats mean less or something, they live almost the same amount of time. Should actually be LESS to adobt a dog because they're a lot more work, have to get them registered and everything every few years. Cats don't have to. So what's the freaking deal! I called them up to bitch at them, and they didn't give a rats ass. "cats don't go home with antibotics, that's just how we do things". I told them they seriously needed to change that policy.

oh and BTW

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!


hehehehehehehehe

here she is...

Using the mouse as a pillow, crazy cats.

I think she might be too, she tries to walk RIGHT up to Nox to rub against her legs, doesn't realize, I guess, that Nox really wants to bite her. So the house is in a little uproar, because Nya wants to play with Niri and she wants to play with Nox. Well Niri isn't too interested and Nox is ignoring her because all she wants to do is stare at Niri. So Nya is the poor little victim here, nobody to play with. Also Niri wants to rub up against Nya and then Nya freaks out, but just licks her and then tries to play with her collar, she's really pretty cute. Totally oblivious that Niri is a cat. Those poor puppydog eyes cause nobody will play with her, so sad.

my computer broke

Granted there are about 7 running computers in the house, but the one I use the most "Mrs Priest" broke. Harddrive won't put, I'm still hoping I can grab stuff off it, but I have to install windows on another one. It such a royal pain.

We got our kitty. Thinking about changing its name though. I like Niri, but Bayvin keeps calling her Mary, even though she can say Niri. Kinda like the Lilo and Stitch episode she likes, she can say Keoni, but keeps calling him Toby. She asked Grif if she could watch it and he couldn't figure it out, she told him the one with Toby and the skateboard and the experiment, granted she got his name wrong, but I still could have gotten it! What other show has illegal genetic experiements, that would have skateboards in it?

Did I mention I hate installing windows?

this is the house

This is the house in Copperopolis I took a 360 Tour of. The tour looks great, but she wants to pay me to come back up there and take some more pictures. Plus she has 2 more jobs for me, which as you know is awesome!

Yesterday we put a deposit on a little black female kitty, hopefully we'll be able to pick her up today or tomorrow. Depends on the Vets schedule. Though there was a 6mo all white kitty with beautiful blue eyes and she was so nice! Figured younger would adapt better, plus she's match, not like that's important, but I like black kitties too.
