    <content type="html">so anyway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  I had plans this weekend with my wonderful family to go up to SA for the livestock show, and a bit of valentines fun with my liza.  so we packed last night and everything all that remained was for me to pick up my paycheck this morning, cash it, and go.  and wouldn't you know it, they didn't have my check ready.  they told me that there were several timecards turned in late from my department so i'd have to wait till the 17th, when they cut checks again.     well crap.. there went san antonio.  i went home with the bad news, but something was bugging me really badly.  i just felt the need to come to work. and this has happened to me a couple times before. some sort of impending feeling about work.. so i went with it.  liza was obviously dissappointed with not being able to go and it didn't help that i just said 'i gotta go to work'. i hated leaving like that, and i felt so dissappointed about not going either. but well, had to go to work.  so i get here and small talk and whatever and i mention it, 'hey was you all's timecards late? cause apparently mine was.'  and they were surprised. 'no, we turned ours and yours with it, in on time.  you should go check payroll'.  so i went.  and payroll tells me 'well, not only do we not have your timecard. it says 'no memo' by your name. '  so i ask what that means.  and they tell me 'it means that you don't have an assigment... you don't work here'.  i say 'yes i do' and leave. so i come back here and tell my co-workers. man i love them, they got right on it. they were calling people and everything.  so it turns out that the account that i get paid from didn't have enough money.  so, it would seem that they decided not to pay me and hope i wouldn't notice.   well, i noticed. and thanks to my co-workers, they got it sorted out(just gave them another account to pay me from) and i'm getting paid next week. also, liza's mom volunteered a loan so we can still make the trip. so happy ending.. though it sucks that it happened at all.  i love liza so much and have been looking forward to this since we first planned it.  can't wait. now i just gotta get out of work in about half an hour or so and we're gone.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    i posted this yesterday.. but liza informs me it didn't show up on her friend's page. and i checked a couple of others that didn't seem to have it so... i dunno what gives... but either way.. here's what i said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    i've been busy working. and it's damn awesome.  i love my job at pan-am and i'm so lucky i got it.  it's currently a temporary assignment, but it can easily(apparently very easily) turn into a permanent position.  i've already mentioned to my boss that i'd like a permanent position when the temporary one is over.  she mentioned that there's a lot of work to be done, and she just needs to find funding. she also mentioned that she likes the fact that i don't pester her with stupid questions, but at the same time come to her with actual relevant questions. she also likes that i show initiative and seem to be getting done what i'm supposed to. and i showed her my progress so far and she liked it very much. so here's hoping. all signs seem positive and while i'm getting along ok with my co-workers, my boss is really the only one i need to impress to stay on.  and yep i got myself an honest to goodness pan am e-mail. (hugo@panam.edu)  what're the odds?  &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;     me being happy in my job leads directly to me being happy in my life. and life has been awesome this last couple of weeks. i go to work, and after i spend time with my beautiful wife. liza's been so happy for me and supportive and just generally awesome. and the baby seems to be developing along nicely too.  today she made me an awesome ham, with all the fixins(stuffing, potatoes, and rolls).  and she keeps the house spotless while she's been staying home from work.  i love that woman and i'm so lucky we're together.  with my newfound wealth we've a couple of big plans for early next year, once she starts working again and if my job sticks. (house and car! :D)  but until then, i'm looking at getting a WoW account(though i've been playing on some private servers, it's still buggy and somewhat sucky that they're so empty).  also i've been playing freedom force vs. the third reich.  i never played the original but this one is pretty cool so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    speaking of playing.... well i'll try to keep it clean but all i'm gonna say is me being happy in my life leads directly to me and liza getting a LOT more fun time.    it's a win-win situation.   i guess that's it for now, more later.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway,...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    a while back, (i don't know if i mentioned it) i signed up with a job finding/placement agency. this was maybe a month or so ago.  and i took all kinds of aptitude tests and gave them my certifications, and that was that.  i'd call every now and then to see if they had anything and they constantly told me they'd let me know.  i went on a couple of interviews for them but nothing ever came of it. then one of the guys there told me of a job at pan-am. he sent me on an interview and the person that interviewed me was very positive.  he called me back and said she was 'very impressed' and they'll get right on getting me in there.  so i was all giddy,  but apparently there was gonna be several snags.  anyway long story short, it turns out that pan am can only accept employees from specific employment agencies.  the one i was involved in, not being one of them. luckily the guy that was helping me out, was a really cool guy.  both he and the lady from pan am wanted me to have the job.(i'm cool that way).  so they worked something out and the result was, the guy called me this morning and said 'i need you to say, i quit'.   so i said 'i quit' and he's like great, come back if you need us.  and pan am hired me directly.  todya was my first day and so far it's pretty awesome. the pay is good and the hours are good (10-5 with a lunch!) and it's pan am so it's right down the street.  all in all it's great news for us.  can't wait to start bringing in the dough, to buy all the things we need for the baby(as well as some extras of course.) :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  and... i had something else to post, but i forgot what it was. ... it had something to do with.. uh.. something?... something i've seen. bah, either way,  that's all for now , more later.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway,...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   i finally got to sit down and watch advent children today.  it was pretty damn cool.  the fight scenes were all kind of awesome. and there were a couple of parts that were genuinely funny.(the best one being in the church with Tifa and uh.. one of the 3 guys.(the only one who's name i know is kadaj).  also the instant that HE appears(i won't say who, but i'm sure we all know) has got to be the coolest bit ever... infact i'm gonna go see that bit again after i post this.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   other than that, i had a pretty awesome weekend.  The weather was totally awesome.(i wish it could be like this all the time).  went to the mall friday with liza and got a pretzel from auntie anne's. walked around a bit, but not too much.  saturday i spent most of it alone since she and kris were out shopping and whatnot. i was fine with that, i just hung out and stuff.   and tonight had some of my favorite foods, sopa de albondigas(meatball soup) and chicken w/ mole.(mo-leh, not mole as in the animal).  also some homemade cookies.   so all in all it was a good weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that's all for now, more later.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    last night i'm catching up on some naruto i missed when my net was down.  it's like 10:30 pm and kris and liza are asleep, it's dark in the house, and the only light is coming from the monitor.  so i'm sitting here and i grab my drink to take a sip.  as i move the cup from my desk to my mouth, i see something along the floor to my left.... i look agan and there's nothing there.  i figure it must be the shadow from my cup.  I continue watching naruto.  a bit later i feel something move across my foot and as i look it appears to go under the bed... this time i'm starting to think i may have actually seen something.  i check and both cats are on the bed with liza, asleep... i'm beginning to get a bit creeped out.... i get down on the floor and lift the covers that are hanging over the side of the bed and something scurries back under the computer desk... it looks like a little ball of fur. and the first image that pops into my head is a little round ball of black fur like 'Critters'.  so with that image in my mind, i'm hesitant to stick my head under the desk to see what i can see.  not wanting to turn on the big light in the room and wake up liza i went to the kitchen to turn on the light there.  as i made my way back to the room i saw something scurry along the living room floor towards the front door.  i run and turn on the lamp, look towards the door and there's nothing there. ... i look around by the door and there, by the door we have some tv tables .. and i see a little ball of brown fur.    it's fucking louie.   some how she'd gotten out of her cage and well.. decided to scare me.  either way... i put her back in and fed her.  i hope she doesn't break out again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   as for the spot of good news, monday i'm reporting to pan-am  to finish up some paperwork.  they want me to work there! yay!</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway,..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;     for some reason, liza doesn't like to watch g4.  i dunno why they show good stuff.  Either way, this one time she did happen to catch me watching it, x-play was running a segment on 'games that make you feel funny'.  Among said games was one called 'Sexy Beach 2' for the pc.  we promptly got lino on the phone and told him to get it for us.  then a couple of weeks later when we got internet back, i fired up shareaza to get it myself.  it took about 3-4 days cause it's like 3 gigs, but i finally got it.  it came with english pathes and new patches and saves and the whole works.  after some shuffling around i was able to install it and play it. well the women were naked enough but the gameplay was kinda lacking.  i'd read somewhere that it was like DOAxVolleyball,..w/o the volleyball.  it is.. but less so.  there's very little in the way of swimsuits and accessories.  and all you do is pick a location, and the girl goes and sits, or swims, or jumps rope.. and that's about it. rather boring.  although that was with all game complete saves.  i took those out and found out there's a bit more to the game.  you can massage the girls and.. 'stuff' .. and that's really about it. still pretty boring.  so now i'm debating getting rid of it, just because it takes up a lot of space.  something i got recently that doesn't take up much space is the deluxe version of 'ganguro girl'.  that's more fun simply cause there's more to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   that's about it for now, more later.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  we got roadrunner back online. so now that means that i can not post from home, instead of not posting from elsewhere.  also it turns out we have full cable thanks to a fellow i went to school with.  at first i was going to refer to it as pirated cable... but seeing as how they're sending us the signal and we're paying for it, it's not pirated.  although usually it is blocked out.. my friend "forgot" to install the little device that blocks it. so yay.. now we're considering getting rid of direcTV, but we shall see.  in other news i love liza. and as the time comes closer and closer, i'm getting very anxious to meet my daughter. not much else is going on, the season premiere of smallville was awesome.  and so far the dubbed naruto is pretty  awesome... except i didn't like chouji's voice, but oh well.  i guess that's all to report, now i'm off to find out about this blue mage for ffxi.  bye for now, more later.</content>

    <content type="html">that is all.   also, Dubbed Naruto was done pretty well and (i hope) can only get better as the voice actors get used to their roles and pronunciations.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway,....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    i went to go get the book last night around midnight.  now several places in the area were having pre-release parties.  Hastings, Barnes and Noble, and H-E-B, that i know of.   H-E-B you say? yep a grocery store.  well it was getting close to midnight and getting the book at all was kind of a spur of the moment thing, so i decided to go to the closest place, which was the h-e-b.  now i can't speak for the other release parties, i'm guessing there were a good amount of people and possibly some cosplay at the other places.  but when i went into h-e-b, i just had to laugh. there was a table set up there, it had several dozen cupcakes and a couple of gallons of punch.  also it had like 3 balloons attatched to it and behind the table were a few employees. (all wearing party hats).  infront of the table there were like 4 or 5 kids.    and that's it.  they probably expected more people, cause although there were lots of cupcakes.... there were lots of cupcakes.  i mean it seemed like maybe one or two were missing(given out).  and all of the gallons of punch were full. so there was no party.   it was just a few people standing around.   midnight came around shortly after i got there, and they brought out a box of books.  i'm sure they had more in the back... but they gave out books to everyone who was there(myself included) and still had a couple left in the box.  i quickly paid for my book and left. so that was it.  i'm a big fan of h-e-b. but that was kind of a very sad party.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    as for the spoilers going around the internet, i've not read any, though i hear page 606 is all kinds of interesting.   liza tried to get me to read it, but i didn't. i'll get there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    we went to go see willy wonka today... it was..... ok.  i like johnny depp's willy wonka.. and i like the updated mike tv.   other than that it was, ok.  i much prefer the old oompaloompa's (and their songs.)  and i prefer gene wilder's songs to johnny depp's flash backs.  and that's about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Liza's been also having lots of cramping lately.  yesterday we went to her dr. to see if maybe the baby was in danger.   luckily it's not.  but when they were checking her, they did an ultrasound.  so i got to see the nugget again.   i mean there were this couple of white spots on the monitor and then i hear liza ask 'are those the feet?'.  and as soon as she said that, they moved! it was totally awesome to me.  i mean i saw my baby move! like MOVE not just kinda wiggle around, but like kick.  so that totally made my day. i mean i know liza's having some bad cramping(and she still is to this moment :( ) but yesterday was awesome for me cause i got to see my baby move! :D     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    so that's about it, not much to post.  harry potter, check.  willy wonka, check.  baby, check.  all's well for now.  (though still seeking employment).   gotta go for now, just realized i gotta go buy a lottery ticket before it's too late. (145 million you know).</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     i don't like my mother in-law at all.  the ninjas are for her.  now that that's out of the way, new stuff.  i've kinda sorted played with my journal style, changed around some friends, and joined a couple of naruto communities.  this week we're planning to get us a new house phone. (from the cable company even).  also i NEED to find a job this week, next week at the latest. (wish me luck).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     also i finished downloading all of digimon season 3.  it's my favorite season.. the episodes are not the best quality,but they'll do for now.  saw several of my favorite episodes already. (man, the two episodes when a) takato forces guillomon to digivolve, and then b) when they bio-merge are like the best two episodes EVER).  hmm that reminds me, i should probably see about a digimon community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      other than that, not much going on right now. i'm really excited about the coming child. everytime we go to the dr's i get more excited and i just want it to be born already to hold it. i love touching' liza's belly. sometimes, i can feel it, though i dont' know if it's just my imagination or if i can already feel the baby flutters.  all i know is i can't be unemployed come baby, hell i can't even be unemployed come next month, i need to start working, we need all kinds of baby things, and just general preparedness for when liza has to stop working. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      in ffxi my warrior is lvl 40. and i've got thief and monk leveled to 20 and ninja to 18. i'm getting kinda burnt out again. but it sucks i was never able to make it to the endgame in EQ(even though i had a 52 druid), and if this keeps up i might not make it to the end game in ffxi before i move to WoW or something.    i want the warrior's relic great axe.. but only like maybe 1? 3? players at most have it... across ALL servers.   out of all the people playing, less than 5 people have the relic axe.   i'll probably never get it :(  well if i do move on to WoW i hear it's easy though.. so we'll see how that goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   well that last paragraph was gonna be the end of my post. but noooooo..  while liza was flipping channels she came across vh1 and that whole r.kelly soap opera.  my god man.  now i like story songs as much as the next guy(probably more). and country music is filled with story songs that i love.   but this..  i mean ok  when singing a story song.. well a) for the most part they're sung.  not spoken in tune.  and b) you don't have to give every little detail about what's going on to get the point across.   god forbid leaving something to the imagination.     and stretching it out across what.. 10 songs?? my goodness.  i should hire the ninjas to take him out instead.</content>

    <content type="html">so anywyay..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      i'll start from today and work my way back, kinda.   went grocery shopping at the h-e-b, and saw something i hadn't seen in a long long time.  eggo apple cinnamon waffles. i swear i thought they stopped making em or something, i love em, and i actually got so giddy liza had to tell me to calm down.  i love my waffles.  anyway they were only like 58cents so yeah got a couple of boxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      lately i haven't been much in the mood to play ffxi, (read: not at all) dunno guess i'm burned out on it for the time being.  took up other games in the mean time like halo 2 and the sims. i get my butt handed to me alot on xbox live, but oh well it's fun anyway, i just need more practice. in the sims my couple is doing pretty well. also i created another sim with the sole purpose of cleaning and cooking around the house while my two main ones worked., didn't wanna pay for a maid.  so i created her(named her "The Maid") and after some trial and error, got her to move in with us. on a side note. The Maid is sharing a bed with the lady of the house, while the man sleeps alone.  other than that not much on the sims front, though i'm looking forward to getting sims 2 eventually. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      speaking of our trip to lubbock, it was fun.  it was lots of fun with lots of people, and lots of food. also lots of electronics. i mean seriously there's pretty much a tv in every room. all of them at least 25 inches,  also including two big screen t.v.'s . and about 5 computers.  (3 of them are in one room right next to eachother, it's pretty cool.  also i got ahold of my favorite gummy bears, which for some uknown reason i can't find down here(h-e-b stopped selling em, the bastards). so i munched on many of those.   and on the way back, while in laredo dropping john off, we saw this lady  pulling along two kids in a little radio flyer type wagon.  nothing wrong with that right,  well they're walking on the street, and they come to a curb so the lady gets up on the curb and proceeds to pull the wagon.  now of course to get the front wheels on the curb she has to lift it a bit. but she just goes all out and heaves upward.  and we see the wagon fall back and two little children fall down.  the lady just stares kinda stunned for a bit then hurries up and starts helping them up.  now it might be kinda mean, but liza and i laughed our heads off at that. the kids weren't hurt, but we just couldn't believe how dumb the lady was. i mean seriously, stop and either carefully lift it or have the kids get off or something. but no she just does it willy nilly and her kids go flying hehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;other than that, not much to tell, . we may still be moving to lubbock(should know next week) and that's it.  more later.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   the xbox 360 had it's debut a couple of days ago.  and today the ps3 was shown at e3.  yay for the next gen console wars!  what can i say.. sony once again designs a very cool and sleek system.  though the xbox360 isn't so shabby this time around. a lot better than the big black box.  both support wireless controllers(the ps3 using bluetooth) but i'm surprised the ps3 controllers are so elongated. i wonder how comfortable they'll be. the nintendo revolution will be unveiled tuesday morning so we'll see what's so revolutionary about the thing.(*note: touchscreen controls do not justify the term "revolutionary") also of interesting note.. there will be a ffxi version released on the xbox360.  though we'll have to see how good the graphics are on that, i'm guessing pc quality (a lot better than ps2 quality).. i wonder if you'll also be able to change around the .dat files on it.. and i also wonder what role xbox live will play.(voice chatting with your linkshell would be pretty cool).(yes i know you can do it already on pc, provided they all want to and play on pc also).  which one's gonna get my money? probably the ps3.. unless the nintendo revolution is something spectacular. or unless ffxi looks damn amazing on xbox360.  that's all for now,.. more later.</content>

    <content type="html">so anyway...&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     so.. nugget eh?  that's right.  i smiled when i saw the lil jelly bean, and got teary eyed when they played the jelly bean's heartbeat.  now it's like it can't get here soon enough. i want my child NOW damnit.  though i guess it's good cause we're not fully set up for it yet.  though i plan to be by then.  my sister offered me a job in lubbock that should work out well.  the only problem is they're not the straightest arrows, and while i'm sure(i hope i'm sure) they wouldn't necessarily screw me over,.. one of their schemes might not fare so well for them and may leave me unemployed.  i don't see that happening though, because they've been doing this particular thing(nursing homes) for a while and they seem bent on keeping with it so that's good.  they're offering me 15$/hr  and while there's no benefits per se, they are actually quite generous people so we're bound to get anything we might need for the baby or whatever.  other than that, i haven't heard back from the other job offer i got at school, but i know they're not offering as much,. and i don't believe there's any benefits there either.  so i need to be making as much as i can when the baby arrives and liza stops working. plus lubbock is nice, nice people, nice weather. (not entirely fucking hot like down here).   i still have another couple of tests to take which i should do next week to get my MCSA (just two more tests to go! :) ).. course then i need three more for MCSE after i get MCSA.. but i'll try for those a bit further down the line. i need to study up a bit more, and hopefully get some experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  i guess that's it for now. not much going on besides child birthing and ffxi stuff. more later.</content>

"ok class! we have a new student today and his name is.... blue psycho ranger serrata".   that'd be cool :D    so we figure she's about a month or so in,.. and probably aiming for december. (same as kristian., another spring break baby hehe) so as far as i'm concerned i think this is great timing. i'm about to finish school and i'll have time to find and get settled in a job. and by then she'll be ready to leave work or work part time. and we should be golden.  so here's to us my love.  life's coming at us, and we're ready. :D i love you babygirl. :)</content>
