3:51 pm - Remember, if you're going to share needles, use a condom!
|
I could REALLY use the laugh right now, so I share with you, KRRT's Teen Club '92 teen auditions....
...the joys of using an actual TV studio and employees to make your Public Access TV show.
Silly Jenn Trivia. I've met both Kimmie ("Wayne Spread") and David ("Thumper!") and they're REALLY cool guys. Kimmie had this idea called "The Puma Man" about a guy who delivers pizza one day and is abducted by a Kung Fu Master to become the Puma Man. I was the only one who could do that Japanese Anime grizzled Kung fu Master voice to his liking (now that I think about it, I sounded remarkable like a meaner version of Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef). The show never took off, though. David rocks - we talked for about three hours straight about absolutely nothing. :)
Have some more:
Nasty Flash's Rant translated:
I AM THE KING OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE! Talk to me! Listen to me! Give me your money. Give me your daughter....FOR DEATH! FOR DEATH! Shoes! SHOES!
I love that Nasty's arm actually DISSAPEARS during one of his poses. :D

8:40 am - The future, of course, is here already. In fact, it arrived a quarter century ago.
|
Updated trippiness!
As of right now, there are three possible routes for driving.
The More Likely:
Day One (Aug 4th): SAN ANTONIO - ALBUQUERQUE - 729mi 12h 39m
Day Two (Aug 5th): ALBUQUERQUE - LAS VEGAS - 709m 11h 17m
Day Three (Aug 6th): LAS VEGAS - FRESNO - 395m 5h 58m
Day Four (Aug 7th): FRESNO - SAN FRANCISCO - 197m 2h 56m
Day Five (Aug 11th): SAN FRANCISCO - SEATTLE - 799m 12h 28m
Day Six (August 12th): SEATTLE - VANCOUVER - 141m 2h 42m
Day Seven (August 14th): VANCOUVER - SEATTLE - 141m 2h 42m
This route gives us a lot of time to stay in Las Vegas and Fresno. Vegas for the Trek show, and Fresno for Emily's friends.
The less Likely:
Day One (Aug 4th): SAN ANTONIO - ALBUQUERQUE - 729mi 12h 39m
Day Two (Aug 5th): ALBUQUERQUE - LAS VEGAS - 709m 11h 17m
Day Three (Aug 6th): LAS VEGAS - SAN FRANCISCO - 582m 9h 4m
Day Four (Aug 11th)SAN FRANCISCO - SEATTLE - 799m 12h 28m
Day Five (August 12th): SEATTLE - VANCOUVER - 141m 2h 42m
Day Six (August 14th): VANCOUVER - SEATTLE - 141m 2h 42m
The slightly less Likely:
Day One (Aug 4th): SAN ANTONIO - ALBUQUERQUE - 729mi 12h 39m
Day Two (Aug 5th): ALBUQUERQUE - LAS VEGAS - 709m 11h 17m
Day Three (Aug 7th): LAS VEGAS - SAN FRANCISCO - 582m 9h 4m
Day Four (Aug 11th)SAN FRANCISCO - SEATTLE - 799m 12h 28m
Day Five (August 12th): SEATTLE - VANCOUVER - 141m 2h 42m
Day Six (August 14th): VANCOUVER - SEATTLE - 141m 2h 42m
This route gives us MORE time to stay in Las Vegas (losing the extra day in San Francisco), with no time in Fresno (if Emily can't get a hold of her friends).

Your result for The Best Thing About You Test... IntelligenceIntelligence is your strongest virtue 
Intelligence (also called intellect) is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, and solve problems. And you? Your brain shines. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your intelligence runs deepest. It is likely you're a smarty-pants. And it's likely (but not necessary) that your discipline score is high also. It takes a certain resolve to maintain all those neural thingies. Intelligent famous people: Einstein, Shakespeare, Da Vinci. Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.

2:30 pm - Enlightenment carries it's own dope slap.
|
On June 30, 2008, it was announced that Star Trek: The Experience will be closing on September 1. As reported by TrekMovie.com, a decline in sales along with diminished talks between Cedar Park and the Las Vegas Hilton brought about the conclusion of the attraction.
We will be in Vegas overnight on August 6th. The plan was to come into town, sleep overnight, and take off in the morning...
..but what if I took a night from San Francisco, and stayed in Las VEgas instead? Like I originally planned? It would add one day of hotel ($80 instead of $40), plus tickets for two ($90) and spending money (lets say $100 that was really just surt of shuffled off from one day in San Fran?)...let say an extra $130? If I tighten my belt REALLY REALLY tight, I could make it. It's closing in September and the last time I was in vegas was 97. Again...who knows when I'll be back in the area?
Plus...I really want to show Emily the Vegas Strip at night, something we couldn't do if we were just spending the night....
Hmmmm...would you be interested, Emily? I know I am, but if we BOTH are, I'll definitely save up tight for it.
What do you, the viewer at home think? Add a day in Vegas after all? Or spend more time in San Francisco?
UPDATE: After being told that the Experience is TOTALLY WORTH IT, but is also TOTALLY SHORT, it might be better to just stay one night in Vegas, then go to the experience in the morning, and leave afterwards. Instead of going straight to San Fran, we'll stay over in Fresno where Emily wants to see friends.... This is really beginning to look like a plan!

I just saw the season finale of Doctor Who.
I have a feeling I'm going to be the only one who doesn't like the episode. In fact, as a writer, it actually made me angry. But my god - the sheer amount of....conveniences.
I'll talk more about it when I know others have seen it.

9:31 am - And my eyelashes are growingback very nicely.
|
So. It was the 4th of July. There's was a 40% chance of rain. I had nothing to do for my last day of vacation. So I packed up my Sidekick, my book of county maps and decided to turn that 40% chance into 100% chance.
Storm Chasing Road Trip!
Back when I was younger, and I wanted to kill some time and knew it was gonna rain, I would look at at the Radar Channel on TV, figure out where the rain was and where it was headed and go meet it - and then follow it home. It wasn't like the storm chasing you see on TV though - first sign of trouble, I'm outta there. :) I just want the light show, not the full sensurround experience.
Emily and I did this by accident on her first trip here. We were having dinner in Boerne when a huge storm passed over us. Heading back into San Marcos, we ploughed right back into the storm over took at and when we got home, the storm slammed back into US. Lots of fun.
However on the 4th, the showers were these little pop-up tropical showers. A blast of rain, dissipate and pop up somwhere else. So I found a larger storm, in Kingsbury, TX and aimed for it.
Follow along in your books, children....
But not before spending $15 in gas, and a cherry limeaid drink from Sonic. More about the gas later.
After some wrong turns and a late start, I aimed toward Kingsbury, but I'd waited too long at Sonic and gas. By the time I got there, the storm had dissipated, but not before leaving a lot of steaming puddles of water behind.
So...what to do now?
I like to call this part, Reason #109825 I love my sidekick. Not only does it have internet anywhere you can get a phone signal, but it has a weather radar application:
With an up-to-date weather radar AND my knowledge of Texas backroads, I should be able to find the pop up storms easily. And according to the radar, the nearest storm was right down the street in Seguin.
I made headed out to Seguin, checking out the old Highway 90 on the way in. Again, I missed the storm, finding nothing but puddles evaporating off the road. I pulled into a side street, and refreshed the radar again. Another storm popped up in New Braunfels so I took off for New Braunfels.
About halfway there, I saw the raincloud on the horizon - big dark shadow of rain coming off a cloud. So I put the radar aside, and just aimed for the big black cloud. And as I got closer and closer, the cloud got lighter and lighter, and then I couldn't find it anymore. I was kinda disheartened by missing another cloud, before I realized - the cloud hadn't gone away - IT WAS ON TOP OF ME. And then the skies oipened up on me and I got a nice good long shower. I pulled over just to enjoy it. :)
About ten minutes later, the cloud had dumped all the water it was going to and faded out of existence...a radar refresh, and I found another cell in Wimberely. I made for it, but made the mistake of going through Gruene. When I first discovered Gruene in the late 80s, it was a ghost town. A Real honest to goodness ghost town. Gruene Hall was there, old shells of the general store and an old building across from it. There wasn't anything more there...but somehow, it got "discovered" and turned into a horrible horrible tourist trap. And I was driving through it on the 4th of July...I got stuck in the town for 15 minutes...it's so small and so congested you can't get through it easily. Shoulda gone around. I refreshed the radar, and the cell was dissipating, but once I got on the road, I figured there was still time to get to Wimberely...
...till I began to run out of gas. I pulled over, put in another $15. I shouldn't have made this trip with dad's pickup. He's got a maasively huge V8 engine, and the truck is VERY heavy. My pickup gets about 20/22 miles to the gallon, with a 30 gallon tank. Dad's.....not so much.
So I got some gas, and picked up some Fredericksburg peaches and peach/strawberry preserves from a tent nearby. Turns out the Frederickburg peaches are in season till the end of July. I picked up a basket of peaches and preserves. By now, the storm cell had dissapeared in Wimberely, so I refreshed the radar again, and saw some storm cells forming up near Blanco. So I headed off to Blanco.
JUST about there, I found saw two cells ahead of me. On to the left, and one to the right. I cut off to the left and slammed into another rainstorm for another 20 minutes or so. With the small rain over, another cell popped up in my sights, and I aimed for that...
...but I overshot it and missed. Once in Blanco, I got signal for the phoen, refreshed the radar and found that the cell was in a town called Kendalia. So I put myself on the aptly named Kendalia Road and got rained on one more time. From Kendalia, the sotrms were pulling me farther away from home, the gas ws going down fast (damn that V8 engine), so I went home...getting rained on two more times on the way, and picking up a fresh watermelon from a Luling seller. :9
Then I got on SL and saw one of Mari's huge fireworks shows (the worlds best six year old munitions expert!), talked with Emily a bit, and went to bed...I had work in the morning.

Wednesday
With Tuesday eaten by Second Life, I took time out today to clean house. I really gave everything a good scrubdown EXCEPT for my bedroom, which is going to be a job and a half itself.
Now, I often say I can't cook much. Just "mix stuff up and throw it in the oven." That's over simplifying it - but if enough of what I make is "pre-done" I can actually make a really good meal:
Lemon Spiced Chicken in Curry with Basmati Rice and Paratha. (Sorry about the low quality - my camera ran out of juice!)
How it was made:
Baked up some pre-marinated HEB Lemon Spiced Chicken Breasts (chopped)
Boiled some water, dried onions and a block of S&B curry. Once the curry was made, I threw the chicken breasts in.
Boiled up some basmati rice in my rice steamer.
TOok some frozen parathas and reheated them.
Good dinner, minimum complexity. :9

7:56 pm - WHAT THE HECK AM I SAYING?!?!
|
Tuesday
On Monday I called around to dentists and optometrists and realized I'd waitied too long. No one could see me anytime this week and so now my dentist and optometrist/new glasses thing will have to wait till I'm in Seattle. Hopefully I'll have benefits at my next job, cause unfortuntely, I let these go to waste.
That said, I had nothing to do - so I thew Tuesday away. It was just a way to relax have fun, and goof off. What I didn't realize was that I'd end up on Second Life all day. Between helping a friend who had just gotten an account, a fireworks show for Canada Day, meeting with Emily, I'd spent nearly the whole day there.
It was also a day where I played around with something I never thought I would:
I have kid avatars.
I love the stompyboots the kids have.
::rubs forehead::
How the mighty have fallen.
When I first got on SL, I was very very very wary of ageplayers. I'd had a BAD experience with one years ago, but in SL, one of my close friends played one in world. I didn't know what to make of it, really - and, well...she was my friend, and like I told her, if she'd have killed a man with her bare hands, I'd trust she had a very good reason for it. Over time, I became part of this girl's friends, then an aunt to her, then an aunt to her siblings, and eventually friendly to all the kid avvies I encountered.
On a lark,I tried the "transmogorifier" the Kids Second Life Fifth Birthday which is supposed to make you into a kid avvie. To my horror, I came out looking like the spitting image of a kid's version of a person I disliked VERY much. I mean to the point that I swear the person who deisgned her MAY HAVE BEEN HER. So I kept the shape, then put on my own skin/clothes over it, and it came out CYOOT.
I've played with the avatar now and then...I tweaked the Kid Carrie so she looked more like a kid version of herself (I need to chubbify her cheeks a bit now that I think about it). I haven't done much with them, though, as I'm kinda conflicted about it all, still...but you know, you only go so far down the rabbit hole before you become a rabbit yourself. ;)

Sunday
I was really really really tired Saturday night, so I decided to spend the night at my parents. They' want me to fix their PCs anyway now that they had a new service provider (AT&T Tech Support - you spent 1 hour troubleshooting with my sister...AND NEVER CHECKED TO SEE IF THE COMPUTER WAS ASKING FOR A DHCP IP? I fixed the computer in 2 minutes).
Dad got it into his head that maybe he could take the air conditioner from their undrivable 4x4 and install it in my truck. I was wary about this, but I'm glad he decided he wanted a look. After starting the truck I noticed the truck was running loudly again. Dad said the muffler probably had a hole in it, and I went to look. The muffler didn't have a hole, it had fallen off and was hanging on the ground. O_o It must have fallen off it's hitch during the ride back from Losoya, and then dropped to the ground once I parked (it wasn't clanging on the way up, plus, if I DID try to drive the muffler would have gone through the bed of my truck!
I'm actually really wary when it comes to dad working on my truck, I get REALLY REALLY REALLY wary. There's an old saying..."You can do it cheap, or you can do it right." Dad always goes for the first. A brake line leak is fixed by hammering the line shut. A hole in the tubing? Bubblegum and duct tape (really!).
However, it does need work. New muffler, oil change, check the hoses, maybe get the 4x4s AC in the pickup. I'll just have Emily check his work when she gets here. In the meantime I have Dad's pickup (his AC smells like...well...like someone took a dump in it, so I'm not all that optimistic about the AC). Hopefully, though, even is he goes the cheap route, it'll hold together until Seattle. It can break down in Seattle all it wants.
That's antoher thing! I'm looking at buying a pickup soon, and I'm actually REALLY REALLY REALLY glad I waited as Chevy is making a hybrid pickup coming out later this year. It'll be expensive, but worth it in gas savings. If I can make the pickup last a bit longer, I may be able to get one at a lower price than IT JUST CAME OUT AND YOU'RE GOING TO PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR IT.

6:36 pm - I think my brain needs degaussing again.
|
I forgot to mention that last week (two Saturdays ago), my best friend Steph, her sister Hattie and Steph's little girl Emily stopped by to visit after work. They picked up Emily up from camp, then stopped by my work for a while. We ended up at a Mediterranean restaurant for lunch...but this entry is about this LAST Saturday:
Saturday
A short day at work, no calls, no interruptions, and I got home early to get ready to go to the family reunion. I got a few hours of sleep and made my way to the Reunion in the little town of Losoya, Texas. I went rather androgynously, since, even though my parents have decided to finally support my transition, the reunion is prolly not a good place to pull a stunt like that. Besides,I was going to be in the very very very very small minority of supporters here, best to eek out of the place with all my fingers and toes intact. Not that I changed - I only have women's clothes now.... :)
Our family hails from Losoya, for as long as we can remember, and we're related to most everyone in town. Actually, we'e related to most everyone in South San Antonio, but that's besides the point. Losoya is where it all started. Consdierng 600 people were showing up, we tripled the population of the town just by being there. :)
This was the crush of people I walked into - and there's more on the left and right on the picture. A LOT MORE.
According to mom, 650 people showed up, which put the 470 people frmo 1997 to shame (and that still doesn't count one family "grouping" that ddn't show up cause they're angry with the rest of for...something, we're not quite sure):
1997 - I'm in here somewhere
I gave up trying to say hi to individual people, then gave up trying to say hi to at least each of my aunts and uncle "Groupings" and finally just went back to where my parents were, and just met people as they passed by. Most of these folks I hadn't seen since 1997, and back then I'd just moved to PA to start my transition, so I had goofy badly kept hair back then. Now it's long, curly, well kept. I've never ever EVER had so many people fondle my hair. EVERYONE was playing with it, pulling at the ringlets. And who was the proudest of my hair? My mom. Little Miss "I don't like you having long hair." If only I could go back about 20 years and LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH at her.
My mom continues to surprise me. I did a stupid thing as around age 20 or so. I destroyed all the pictures of me I could find. Literally ripped them apart and destroyed them. And while now I regret doing that, mom's managing to find pictures of me pre-transition to use. Each table had a centerpiece my mom made with a family picture of each, and she managed to find one with all four of us, including me from about 1995. In a TUX no less. A Tux with sneakers (I didn't want to wear a tux, and my only concession was to wear sneakers with it...she wasn't amused till she saw David Letterman do it, then she agreed wholeheartedly).
So without Further Ado, Jenn, pre-transition:
Jenn Dolari and David Koresh - seperated at birth?
A good time was had by all, even me. My sister and I left for home before my parents (it took 30 minutes to get to the door as I said bye to a few people I hadn't seen all night) , when I noticed the truck was running loudly. I wasn't sure what to make of it, but decided to check it out in the morning. I'd decided to stay home for the night and get some good sleep....

Okay, one era at a time then.
Last Week
LAst week, when I got paid, I looked over the vacation time I had...25 hours. After some finagling, I realized that I could take almost a whole week off it I coincided with the 4th, giving me the 1st-4th. The only downside being that I'd need to come in early on Monday to cover because no one would be there to cover the one person on the phone.
I wonder if they're seeing that they're undermanned without me. Hmm?
A girl can dream. ;)
So then - Saturday....

This articledescribes a situation in which a trans person was removed from a bisexual personals site for being transgender.
The site BisexualDatingNow.com, stated "We do not have a site appropriate for transgenders." and "It’s that T side [in LGBT] that we have not been able to fully accommodate within our program. That is shown [by the fact] that in our registration, transgender is not one of the options we provide, and we don’t provide that as such. ... That identity is not an identity we have an ability to support,"
The article also mentioned something about being a man on a lesbian dating site. I don't fully understand what that's all about, but regardless, their handling of the situation is very inappropriate.
If you're interested... they have a contact page that you can go to and send them a message containing your opinion on the matter.
I've never understood the T-discrimination in the Gay Movement, It's a bit rare, sure, but when it rears its ugly head, it's usually pretty arrogant and proud of it.
We're in the same boat people, lets not pass out life jackets only to people you think are wothy of saving.

Now eat your mush.
