*What I’m Watching or Listening to Now*
Bored out of my mind and not feeling good, so was going to watch a mini marathon of the Pirates of Caribbean movies.

*Random Question* OR *Random Quote*
This was a REAL conversation I just had
Him: Are they ever going to come out with a second season of ….? (don’t remember the show mentioned)
Me: Yeah, it comes out in September I think
Him: Shit, that’s nine months away…
Me: Um, dude, that’s three months….
Him: (counting on his fingers) April, March, May, June, July, Sept….
Me: It’s the middle of freaking’ June…
Him: Oh?!? But….
Me: (cutting him off) Seriously?

We’re extending the current Microsoft promotion for another two (2) weeks as an ‘apology’ for the fact I’m going to disappear for a week of it.

On a side note, although the current widget near the top left for the Relay for Life still says 0% raised, it appears it was broke as the donations we’ve got registered under the other tracker (supposedly it’s fixed now). I know many people have their reservations for donating to charities that do events since some of the money donated goes to running said event instead of it all going to research and I’m normally one of those people. I have no problems giving money to a charity but up until a couple years ago I would outright refuse to give during ‘event time’ for that same reason. In fact, with the exceptions of the Red Cross doing a blood drive or the Relay, I still donate directly to the charity (outside the event). I know the economy sucks, believe me, living on disability for the last couple years hasn’t been fun, but if you have the means to spare a little, click the “Donate Now” above and give a little hope and a smile to those fighting Cancer or know someone who is.

No idea why it took so long to upgrade the iPad from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 but WOW it’s so much better, in fact about 90% of the issues I had with the Home Button being a sporadic little bitch went away. Now I just have to finish reconfiguring all my damn apps (didn’t restore a backup to start from a clean slate) and wait for iOS 5 to be official released.

Now, the “Vote for a Friend” part listed in the title… If you head on over to the Russian State TV and Radio Music Centre it will let you vote for Maria Tretyakova (listed as “Третьякова Мария, Россия” 7th from bottom). I apologize, as far as I know, the site does not provide an English version of the poll, that’s why I listed Maria’s position in the list. If you click her name, you can find a YouTube video at the bottom of her playing Piano…

Playing “catch-up” on a bunch of Rev3 Shows…

*Random Question* OR *Random Quote*
As some of you know, I’ve been battling depression (among other things) for years… How sad/fucked up is it when you visit a new psychiatrist and spend an hour with them, don’t even delve into a third of the issues you need to deal with when they stop you and say “Um, my practice can’t handle the volume of issues you seem to have and you need to seek help elsewhere.” Yet more useless forms of ‘medical assistance’…. yet more reasons I want to leave the US and find somewhere that can help me… not that I could ever afford it.

*Medical*
Now I’m dealing with all the ‘normal’ medical issues and dealing with Social Security as well… Why can’t I just get better?

Don’t remember what I was going to write… Haven’t gotten anything new, but was supposed to write a review on something… don’t remember what that was either…
