The Real Story

All right, I admit it, I'm not a secret genius geneticist. I just happened to take a picture of myself the day after I had my top wisdom teeth taken out. That's all. Yes, last Tuesday I at last (after two previous attempts) had the operation. And it went swimmingly. What is it about going to the dentist that makes other people pull out all of their horrors stories, whether it happened to them or someone they knew. Is all of America dentaphobic? Well maybe I can do my bit to counteract all the bad stories and try to reassure people in the future. So that is it, no blood gushing- teeth wrenching- writhing in the chair story for all you fans out there. The swelling has even gone pretty much away, so I should look normal the next time any of you see me. Hey-- no smart comments!

Never Mess With Nature

The other day I, Professor Camerousky, was in my super secret genius lab when I had an amazing revelation. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to cross-breed chipmunks and humans! Think of all the possibilities. We wouldn't need luggage (just stuff your cheeks full) we could save water because we could just groom ourselves instead of taking showers. People might even finally learn how to store up and save! I went to work immediately. Unfortunately thus far, up to date, I haven't been very successful. The cheeks seem to be coming along nicely but nothing else so far.




Well that's it for today. Perhaps tomorrow I'll start working on the tail .

Alack and Alas!

Well this weekend has been a bit of a mixed bag. Unfortunately the sailing trip did not happen, due to bad weather, but because of that I ended up going shopping and buying two movies that I have been wanting to get for some time. The flip side to that was that I ended up staying up till midnight watching them. Which never helps make the next day a happy one.

Even though I didn't go sailing I suppose I can still say a bit about work. Most apartment complexes have a clubhouse of one sort or another. A place to hang with friends, work out, or swim in the pool. The clubhouse at the current job site is (I believe) a converted garage. Exposed forty foot ceiling, tons of open floor space, and a handy basement filled up with exercise equipment, and the owners are sparing no expense in making it look nice. I just heard this week that the material cost (no labor involved) for the lights alone is just under $100,000! Somehow the PTB decided that they wanted me to help install some of these lights during the last few weeks. A lot of dropped can lights, many chandeliers, and all sorts of accent lighting. The most fun have been all the ceiling lights because they require the use of a lift to install them all.
(The view looking down)


It hasn't just been all fun and games though. These lights are Expensive! The chandeliers alone cost $4700 apiece, and we still had to assemble them ourselves. It just seems like a person should get more for their money.




I will admit though that the finished product does look rather nice.


It must be nice to have money to burn. And in other news, I start school again tomorrow. Even though it is my last year, I am sorry to say goodbye to my carefree summer evenings. No more of those for quite a while I'm afraid. I think that about covers it for now. Hope you all have a great week.

No, I'm not Dead

Unfortunately the title pretty much says it all. I've been feeling less than 100% this week, less than 50% actually so that has helped squash any sort of desire to get outside of myself and communicate. I am amazed every time I get sick how easily our bodies are taken down. Strong and incredibly versatile yet can be prey to invisible THINGS that we can't stop. Also even though I feel odd about putting this down in a public forum where others can read this, I am constantly reminded that at heart I am a selfish person who struggles to not interact with people just to get things out of them. Unfortunately I don't always come out ahead in that particular war. However I hope to be going sailing this afternoon with some friends, so that should give me something to write about, as well as some interesting stuff at work lately too. More than anything I think I just needed to sit down and get back into the habit of writing. Maybe I'll even get around to checking out some of your sites :)
