Holy July rainbow batman.

that's me!

My 4 year old nephew got a transformer for his birthday. I was stoked to play with it since i hadnt transformed a transformer since 3rd grade. Holy fuck they are difficult now. there's no way in hell this thing should be recommended for ages 5 and up. It took me 15 minutes to transform and then 13 seconds for Xander to break the arms off and get bored with it. "Make it a robot!!" so I transform it back then "NOOOO I WANT IT TO BE A CAR!!" ugg.

Seriously people? He died like 3 weeks ago.

I'm a Barter.

later, see you next week. We pick up Rocko and Franklin tomorrow!

A death in the family.

For those of you expecting a Friday Photo Blog last week, I'm sorry to say that out beloved cat Piglet, whom I've blogged about on many occasions passed away Thursday night. As some of you may remember back in August of last year he got very sick. Since then we'd been taking care of him and giving him pills twice a day. We thought moving into our new house in September would freak him out and make him worse, but the hardwood floors, and more space to run around awarded him a very happy, fun, and energetic last year to his life.

Thursday I came home from work and he was lying on the floor in the doorway to the bedroom, an unusual spot for him to stop and hand out. Then he belted out a very uncomfortable meow. A meow he gives when something is wrong. He was panting heavily like he did when he got sick nearly 11 months earlier. I called meg and then noticed his back leg wasnt working which meant he had thrown a clot. It's what the doctor said would happen eventually. This is a sign that his sickness had taken its course and was now terminal.

Meg came home and we knew we had to do what we had planned since last year. The only humane thing, to put him to sleep. We packed him in his crate one last time and took him in to the emergency vet and said our goodbyes.

This shit sucks and has been hard on both of us, but mostly for Meg, who nursed him as a wild kitten and pretty much has been the only human, or animal he showed affection for. The house feels empty.

We didnt waste any time tho, we've picked out 2 kittens to adopt, Franklin and Rocko. We pick them up on Saturday. They look alike but arent brothers. They were fostered together and have become buddies so we didn't want to take one without the other.

here's the kittens (we changed Cowboys name to Franklin)

So as we welcome our new arrivals, we must say rest in peace to Piggy. He lived a long and happy 17 years.

You'll have to wait till Friday for photo Friday.

ATMs and Chicken

Hi. So, ATMs. I'd guess that 90% of people going to ATM's are using it to get $20 or $40 out of their checking. And, I'll guess that 90% of Spanish speaking ATM users know that the blank field means enter you pin number and that the green button means "ENTER". So here's my idea, make the first screen the enter your pin screen. make the enter button in spanish and english and people can just push the one they understand and continue in their respective languages. Skipping the "chose your language" screen altogether.

Then, once you're in the next screen will have buttons for $20- $100 in $20 increments. which will be like the "fast cash" button you used to press, before you got the the fast cash menu, which oddly only had $40 $80 $100 as choices. once you press that it spits out your money and your card, then has two choices, I'm finished and would like a receipt and I'm finished and I do not want a receipt. As it is now, fast cash ends and says thanks bye, but personally I like to press a button to end my transaction, so I know I'm not walking away with my account open. also, saves you time asking for the receipt in this step rather than at the beginning.

Under the fast cash buttons, which pull the cash from your checking automatically without asking you where you want it from, there will be your other choices: withdrawal savings, withdrawal checking, deposit and check balance. From there it's business as usual for the lame-o's that do their banking at the ATM. Hey jerk face! the bank is open and there's no lines! go in and talk to a person rather than wasting my time at the ATM!!

So that's my ATM idea. I hate pushing 20 buttons and seeing 5 screens just to get $20.

My next rant is on this Lemon Chicken I just ordered. This place has dry chicken and then they put the sauce on after. Which is fine i guess but hey asshole, I didnt order steamed rice because I like it plain. Pour some of that lemony goodness on my dry ass rice too.

ok that's it. see you Friday.
