2016 203

Up early with mindless drivel on the tube and a Hanna Barbera DC catchup in the eyeballs.

Now back to some pre Secret Wars II Marvel reading.

Gotta read for a record a Thorcast.

Podcast recorded.

Mini water leak crises averted leading to the decision to find a new place to live.

New episode of Salvage Dawgs and bed.

2016 202

Chef Teri prepared a delicious omelette for breakfast and then we chilled the morning away with Ip Man 3.

Found a new restaurant in Beckley to try.

Dept H from Dark Horse and Paper Girls from Image are both pretty good reads.

Powers catchup. Much better written season than the first.

Chef Teri's philly steak and cheese for dinner.

2016 201

Friday. Feels like any other day. Hot as shit and nearly boring as fuck. I get paid for it all so I'm happy about that.

I think we may ratchet up our searching for another place to live.

Looking forward to date night at our new favorite local eatery.

Date night didn't go the way I wanted it to but it was pleasant none the less.

2016 200

Another day here in the hot box.

Boringly repetitive day at work.

Body Combat, blah.

Excellent dinner from Chef Teri...my current favorite of our slate of 'healthy' meals.

TV and Marvel catchup the rest of the night.

2016 199

Comic book day.

Intermittent internet at work I believe is more frustrating than none at all.

Trying to listen to podcasts but it's loosing it's appeal as well as making them myself. Not sure why maybe just a normal saturation of interest.

It's funny that the thing I look forward to most in the current comic culture climate is a catalog of comics. Previews is my go to comic book enjoyment publication.

Salmon on wild rice with a picoese cold salad. Not the most exotic offering From Chef Teri but I excellent tasting filling meal.

More Marvel catchup.

2016 198

Another day. Today's depressing thought is what I will have left physically and mentally when I retire in 19 odd years.

Roughly 6950 days until retirement. I mean when you look at it like that...it's fucking forever.

45-50 minutes of Body Combat is rough. No liking this latest module because of a couple elements, hopeing they will change with the next unit.

Trying to catch up on some of by Marvel backlog.

Monday.

It's cool to be in the position that I still haven't cash my paycheck from Friday.

Dr's visit today to get some stitches pulled and perhaps get biopsy results.

Thinking about taking time of from comic books and really trying to concentrate on prose.

Threw together a chest arm work out today.

American Ninja Warrior and So You Think You Can Dance catchup.

Sunday, July 24, 2016

2016 196

Just regular stuff today.

Breakfast.

Mall run for some new school clothes.

Back home to order more school clothes.

Mark Bowe on FB Live.

Barnwood Builders on marathon.

Did catch a live UFC on Fox card last night been a while.

Chef Teri checked the week's menu for this coming week and Blue Spoon. I think that means she wants to continue our Friday date night dinners out as much as I do. Unfortunately it means four straight days of workin out but, oh well.


Saturday, July 23, 2016

2016 195

Excellent breakfast from Chef Teri, who felt it necessary to remind me who is in change and truly holds sway over my tummy.

Manga reading day.

Chef Teri wanted to go out so she drove while I played Pokemon Go...until my battery ran out and I found out that playing while hooked to the charger tends to make the phone overheat and shut off.

We ended up in Bramwell at the Corner Shop. Solid food but not worth the wait we went through today. Hopefully just a really busy day.

Now lest round out the day with a UFC on Fox card.

2016 194

Friday.

Pay Day.

Morning started off well with Chef Teri asking what we had planned for the weekend. Which means she wants to get out and do something. Cool.

Manhattan Transfer to start the chilled weekend I need. Vocalese was my start but man Brasil And Offbeat of Avenues are both hard to forget. There newer stuff just doesn't have the magic for me the older stuff did.

Perhaps some Rippingtons and/or Spyro Gyra is next.

Had a wonderful dinner at a new place, for us. It was in perfect harmony with my vibe today which together made the meal a top five ever for us.

Crossfit games and a quick second desert to finish the day. Nice.

2016 193

More computer problems at work with two vendors each wanting to pass the buck to the other with a complete that/s not our problem from both for one of the issues.

30 minutes of Body Combat.

Team Spartan finale.

2016 192

Comic book day.

Computer problems at work, far above my pay grade.

4 miles at 3.7 miles an hour was tough but after the 2 mile mark I passed the wall and it was just a matter of keeping my mind focused and not quitting. Physically though it was smooth after 2.

2016 191

Another day at work.

No gym today because went went over to Chef Teri's mom's house for some family time. Her brother, several nieces and first cousins were in town. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs insued.

2016 188

Finally putting up the comics that have been collecting since Heroes the first of June.

UFC 200 on the tube.

Wow Hateful 8 is a funny movie. I don't think that was Tarentino's intent.

Highlander for Chef Teri's edification.




2016 187

Friday.

First thing this morning because of cleaning nightly emails I learned something useful about Audacity. Coolness.

Interesting stuff tonite. A nearby town is having a peaceful march by members of an offshoot #blakclivesmatter group.

Mexican for dinner.

Catching up on some MMA.

2016 186

Half a day at work today.

Dr ap to remove questionable skin thing from my arm went well. Took a few to exercise the Pokemon Go app while out and about. Level 6 with a couple cool captures so far.

Twenty one more comics in our ongoing attempts to complete a couple runs came in the mail today.

Very good dinner from Chef Teri.

All in all a comfortable, wish they could all be this way,kinda day. I needed it after the first part of the week.

I just explained Tempest,  the console game to Chef Teri and got way too excited.


2016 185

Comic book day.

2016 184

Day two of yet another week.

My motivation to do anything other then breathe is not there today.

Complications bother me. I think it's why I'm very much a spur of the moment kind of person. I lack the discipline to see things through if I actually take time to think about them. I can find plenty of reasons to not do a thing. Spur of the moment keeps things interesting and planning makes things boring. My biggest complaint right now is that M-F all 24 hours are pretty much planned out and are endlessly the same, week after week. I'm 48 years old and spontaneity is a word in the dictionary only. That is all we can all go back to our thoroughly boring, meticulously planned out life.

Just finished eating my lunch and I feel much better then the above statement. It's still true for me but just true not an overwhelming feeling. I wonder if that is the kind of stuff Mike goes through. Gotta be tough to work through.

I spend so much time in a negative headspace I truly don't want it. The problem is the causes are the most important things I deal with daily. Can't really change because I'm not willing to effect my quality of life. Damn it makes for some miserable times.

The day finished up pretty solidly with a huge salad for dinner and Ancient Aliens, Lip Sync Battle and SYTYCD on the tube.

Monday

There are always problems updating the maps for the telecommunicators.

Workout, blah!

Ninja Warrior was cool.

2016 182

Up way too early this morning.

Wonderful breakfast from Chef Teri.

The world has truly surpassed anything that can be explained using any type of logic. Slant and spin is reflected in every bit of 'news' you can find.

I have Chef Teri and her 'eye for detail' helping with my comic book collecting. We'll see how it works long term.


2016 181

I think today is a good day to try and catch up on some UFC cards.

2016 180

Friday end of the work week on final winding down of yucky evenings as well.

Nice seafoodish dinner from Chef Teri tonite. She is so wonderfully creative in the ktchen. Much like creatives in other venues, she prefers to focus on the edibles.

Another day at work, so far.

My check was a different amount. Curious.

Team Spartan was the highlight of the day.

On to tomorrow.

Thursday, July 7, 2016

2016 178

Comic book day.

Slow day at work.

Rest day from the gym.

Cool day at the comic shop.

Lucha Underground next to penultimate show for season 2. Word is that Evilesse and Prince Puma will both be gone after season 3. They have at least two more after that to fill slots.

Homemade Chinese-ish fried rice from Chef Teri was easily better then anything we can find here in our food desert.

Mom doing well.

Still no contact with Mike. I wonder at times that I allow myself what I did for him to dislike me so.


Wednesday, July 6, 2016

2016 177

Didn't end up going to work today. Instead had to sit around waiting for the phone tec to stop by to fix our internet.

Frontier is much bullshite.

I did however get some time to catch up on Valiant comics, it was good.

Body Combat has become no fun. I hope it's because of the particular routines and not just having run it's course. Either way it is currently as non enjoyable as anything else I'm doing at the gym. After more then a year I had hoped my feelings would have changed but they have not. Every trip to the gym is nothing more then a chore.

Chef Teri's mom has reaffirmed something for me that will forever be puzzling. What is the draw for people over 60 in rural areas and Fox. Those people spew just as much rhetoric as anyone on the left but yet folks eat it up. That channel hurts my brain.

Internet fixed so out online life can now resume normalcy.

Not sleeping well lately because of ongoing family situation that will not end until this weekend. UGH.

2016 176

Lazy morning before doing some birthday shopping for Chef Teri.

Chilled at mom's for a bit.

Pretty much the entire weekend.

Chef Teri seemed to like her presents. Even spent several hours playing with one of them.

Going back to work tomorrow sux.

Saturday, July 2, 2016

2016 175

If nothing else it's Friday.

So far. I like music from the 20's - 30's, movies and TV shows from the 70's - 80's and comics from the 80's - 90's. I seem to be rather displaced in terms of my pop culture.

Workout sucked,

Having dinner and hanging with Chef Teri's mom for the evening.
