Well, here’s what’s happening next. I have to go in for a full-blown sleep study next month, and probably will have to have my tonsils removed too. It looks like I’ll be wearing some sort of O2 mask when I sleep, and have a body monitor on too, during the study, not to mention being recorded on video. (That’ll help anyone sleep, right?) Ack. But, for what it’s worth, I’ll get more energy, better recall, and generally better health. 8/13 is my sleep test night, so I have a while before having to worry about that hubbub.

Well, tomorrow I get reviewed for my sleep study. It should take 20 minutes, I understand, then I’ll be scheduled to snooze at a research facility, and be told what treatment is needed.
On another note, I fear I might’ve offended someone with what was meant to be a compliment. Someone who I find to be really cool, too. I apologised, but I can never tell if I’ve doomed a budding friendship via miscommunication. 🙁
I really am sorry that it was misunderstood, and that feelings might’ve been hurt.
Okie everyone, here’s the shmeer.
April will be taking a bus back to Utah Aug 20. I figure I can be civil and nice enough to let her stay at my place until then, even though I had been hoping for my place back to basics. No further delays will be accepted, however. 7x the expected delay is long enough. I won’t be able to tolerate any more, even though we’ve been getting along.
I will be running my webcam for quite a little while for two reasons.
1. to spy on newton, I know that april will throuw a baseball cap or something over it when she gets home, as I’ve told her it’ll be running.
2. hopefully I’ll get to make an animated gif or avi out of the stream, and see what a stop-motion show of the day’ll look like. 🙂 I’ll be archiving on the net on the off-chance ‘someone’ decides to rip me off, so I’ll have photgraphic evidence of times of whatever. Is that petty of me? My trust levels are low with her, but I think this is a fair way to keep her honest.
I can’t sleep!!!!
Help! 🙁
Went to see Xmen, and it was pretty cool!
especially for a geek like me… I saw cameos by Jubilee, Shadowcat, Iceman, beast, pyro, and stan lee, not to mention some others. I hope they make a sequel with more & different guys. after the movie I hung out with my pal Robb, and we talked for a few hours at starbucks. got a lot of opinions stated, and talked for a long while about relationships, common friends and just stuff in general. I swear, if he was a girl or I was gay I’d date him in a second. (Well, maybe two. He’s picky. 🙂 ) Anyhow, we discussed our mutual pals getting pregnant, moving and it turns out that he’ll be moving at the end of august too! egads! There goes the whole SPLN gang. no more Alex, Brian, Heather or Robby?!? it would appear that of EMAGE, the oonly remainders will be me and the Hunters… I have to remember to thank Alex H for the CD, it rocks!! a little p-funk makes me a happy boy. (among other things.) I’m amazed that newton can Lie comfortably on my screen…. heat-sucker! pesky swish-tail interferes with my surfin! My Bro is back in town, and he’s mighty flu-y, so we’ll be going out later in the week, but at least I can call him locally on the phone now! Hoody-hoo!
Scott feels sort of trollish today. (Headache, and light sensitive)
Troll
(from encarta)
Troll, in Scandinavian mythology, a powerful giant that was an enemy of humans. Trolls lived in caves or in castles on hilltops, robbing and eating any travelers foolish enough to stray into their domain after dark. Huge, hard-skinned, and virtually indestructible, they could only be vanquished by sunlight, which would either turn them to stone or make them explode.
In later folklore, trolls were less awesome and malevolent. They committed specific acts of malice, such as stealing maidens, and also began to develop semimagical powers such as prophecy and shape-shifting. Outside Scandinavia trolls began to be associated with stories of the so-called little people who lived in mounds on the outer limits of cultivated land and performed acts of mischief.
More of the same…
April seems to be determined to squiggle out of going to the doctor. I pushed a little today, mainly because I feel that she needs to see him. Latest excuse (of many) is : I want to wait until I get paid to go, I don’t want you to pay for it. Heck, I told her, I spend hundreds of dollars on her for frivolous stuff, the important stuff, if you want, pay me back. Nope! No dice. I should just blow it off, but I’m concerned for her well-being. I also have to make an appointment with the doc about my bronchitis kicking up again… (Teach me to date a smoker. bleah.) Well, at least Newton is healthy. Actually, on thinking about it, I’m going to hit the doc sometime after friday, I’ll call and make an appointment now. The best way to lead is by example, right? Hm. Here’s some more wirting for those of you that don’t care about the Scotto-soap opera. but first a mini-rant. My pal Alex moved to San Jose a few months ago. He assured me that we’d stay in contact, etc,etc. I saw him on AIM once and he was quite brief, then took off. From what I understand he’s still in frequent contact with Heather, daily, I think. It sort of irks me, but it falls into my current situation in ‘meatspace’. If a person moves away, and is not bound by blood ties, I lose contact with them. I don’t know if I attract lazy friends & aquaintances, or if it’s just the way things are, but I thought that friends kept in touch? anyhow, enough of that noise. I met Erin last night here, and she’s a pleasant and witty girl, who shares my interest in gigglecam, and all things nifty like that.
And now:
Half-light
==========
If you took all the hours
I should have been asleep
but wasn’t
And added in all the hours
I should have been awake
but wasn’t
And multiplied by all the things
I missed, or messed up,
or did halfway
because of the above combination
You’d have wasted a lot of time
counting the cost for me
which is kind of ironic
After all, I’ve already paid the toll
for my time in shadow.
Hi Kids! Still getting my stuff in gear for the live journal thing… Once I polish a pic, and get more than 17 seconds to type to you, we’ll be good to go! I hope you folks are having a better weekend than I’ve had… We lost one kitten a week ago to an intestinal parasite (We miss you, Fritz!) and now, Newton, my big orange pal has the same thing. Got him to the doc in a decent amount of time, though, so hopefully after the 10 days worth of meds he’ll be feeling better.
I’ve got to get going, more to follow this evening though, for sure.
Love, Luck, and Laughter to you all.
Scotto
