I must be dreaming
   live in a small world with dust over it
I’ve got no feelings
   wear thin shoes with glass under them

Click off gone

They made him lie down
   keeping the ground warm while life drips on it
They turned him right down
   collected a life and said goodbye to it

Click off gone

Don’t make it anything special
   tucked in with words over it
Don’t make it anything special
   I’ve seen it before low voices under it

Click off gone

Luca brasi’s got nothing on you
There’s something wrong ’cos I can leave if I want to
You don’t stay long but I imagine you’re real
Invited you for a meal

I must be dreaming
   the pictures are gone now I’m not sure of it
I’ve got no feelings
   I turned down the sounds now there’s no more of it

~Sleeper

and now I think I have to change out my contacts...

blah...

I feel so blah...

maybe the weather...

it could be just blah...

I do not feel the slightest bit of motivation this week...

boy...

I'm in a daze...

I feel isolated...

I don't want to communicate.

i am sitting on the floor at the bdl airport waiting for m 6am flight while i type this entry out on my clie... pretty neat as this is one of the few chances that i get to us my keyboard on this pda... i could really use my laptop but i didnt know that there would be wireless available... i like free wireless... ive come to depend on it now... today is the busiest travel day of the year which is why i opted for such an early flight... that and i couldnt get one last night... but whatever... i think we are boarding soon so i gotta go...

ok... so the conversion process was easier than I thought...

I'm pretty much going to leave dev.babiegoose.com as it is, but all of the content has been moved to this site so there is no need to even go there.

I will probably use archive.babiegoose.com in the future... but for now, I'm going to keep it simple.

so voila!

now to just find the right pictures to throw around...

for those of you who are interested... the archives of babiegoose.com will be located (comments and all), however temporarily, at dev.babiegoose.com I am planning on moving them here eventually, but please - baby steps.

baby steps recovers all of the old entries...

baby steps creates a temporary blog...

baby steps converts the recovered entries...

baby steps imports the entries...

there is only so much I can do at a time.

... ... ...

oh... so it's quite possible that I won't move the old entries here... I might move them to archive.babiegoose.com - once that is set up. It all depends on how the conversion scripts from MT to nucleus work...

... ... ...

but it still hurts...

so other than a few errands and watching harry potter, I basically did nothing this weekend but play resident evil 4 (for GC), over and over and over... [insert loser zing here]

[GEEK WARNING!!!]
I beat the whole game out right last week, then I beat asignment ada. I bought the infinite rocket launcher and then I bought the chicago typewriter. I finished the second round this weekend...

the chicago typewriter and the infinite launcher with the semi-automatic rifle (exclusive upgrade) is ridiculous...
I mean outrageous

the rifle I kept for long range and the infrared scope, although I really don't need either given the rocket launcher will have the range and destroy any creature I would need the infrared scope for, but I like to snipe. There is something satisfying about blowing the head off ganados and tenticle creatures.

chicago typewriter has a power of 10 (which equals the riot shotgun and gives the stricker shotgun a run for it's money) and shots as fast as a TMP - not to mention that it has infinite ammo. these attributes eliminate the need for any handgun (most abundant ammo, but max power of 5), shotgun (good spread and great power but slow and limited range), and the TMP (great speed and abundant ammo but max power of 1.8)

And the infinite rocket launcher - that speaks for itself...

of course, I didn't have all three together until close to the end of round 2, so I'm going to see what kind of time record I can get in the next round...

but I will do round three with the purpose of getting the hand cannon - once I unlock it and to try to get a near perfect accuracy rating...

to unlock it, that means I will have to spend a considerable amount of time trying to beat all of the mercenary missions... (meaning I have to score 60000 on each of 4 different maps with each of 4 different characters) since I haven't tried yet, I'm not so sure how hard that will be - and I'm pretty sure that it's not going to happen this weekend, considering that lorie will be home and that we willl have a lot of things to do...
[END GEEK WARNING]

In other news, I got my flu shot a month ago, and I think it has helped me stave off a bout of flu that has been going around the office. strangely it has affected most people who opted not to get their flu shot. however, I am not sure if it I did not catch said illness because of the flu shot or because of my naturally strong immune system. (I am not one to typically get sick - also, considering that in the past, my immune system has chosen to fight off imaginary immunogenic substances - but that probably doesn't qualify as a proof that my immune system is strong, I base that on the fact that as a child and as an adult I have rarely gotten sick...

but just to be safe...
stay away from me if you're contagious

[TANGENT]
So what is the deal with people not getting the flu shot if it's free or at least no money out of your pocket - besides the people who are allergic to eggs or have GBS - I have heard people who were saying stuff like, I'm not putting that into my body, who know what could happen to me. My theory is that they are just afraid of needles or something - from what I've read, besides allergic reactions or GBS, there isn't much that can happen to you from a flu shot... If you are reading this and you have a medical background and knowledge about this, feel free to confirm or deny any statement made regarding flu vaccines.
[END TANGENT]

It's a short week this week [woo hoo!] - and I think you all should join me in a song of rejoice...

I am singing outloud and dancing as I am typing this, so I think if you are reading this (and if you, by chance, read it again) you must sing a song of joy and do a dance while you read.

it's required.

if you don't, no one will like you and you will be an outcast for all the days of your life. Plus I'll tell people you're not fun.

::: ::: :::

ok. so maybe no one will not like you, and you won'te be an outcast all the days of your life(at least not because you didn't sing and dance) and I will not tell people you are no fun, and I was lying when I said that I was singing and dancing, but if you actually did sing and dance, GOOD FOR YOU!! Just know that I am proud of you!

if you didn't, I am neither proud nor disappointed. I'm more of, eh - whatever... no issue, no joy, just moving along.

I think I will be eating for lunch the sausage mcmuffin with egg which I did not eat for breakfast today. (I had a mcgriddle for breakfast - breakfast of champions - 'cause I'm the winner, no not the loser - I tried to eat both sandwiches, but I could barely finish the first)

and they are changing out the furniture and mattresses and housewares in my apartment today - so I am assuming that means everything is going to be nice and neat.

that's it.

so... as of this moment, I have no good way to port my previous content to this cms. I have a few ideas, but none which I would like to pursue at the moment.

given the number of entries between the blogspot and movable type, I will probably be able to manually reinput the entries over the next 6 months or so... but then I would lose all of the comments. and because that will probably not be acceptable, my alternative is to have an archive babiegoose website... probably archive.babiegoose.com or something uninspired as that.

Also, I need to make a link/credit page, since the skin I am using is a modified version of c3ro silence by Armon and the fact that I am using Nucleus CMS... (I hope that covers my creative common liscense obligations for now...

Oh. that information is at the bottom.

I'm going to change that once I have my links/credit page.

in any case, I was trying to put a pitcure of

the two of us

in the banner... there was this cool picture of an angle-lady doing whole silence thing with the finger over the mouth and the"shh", but I didn't know her so I thought a picture of lorie would be good... I don't have any picture on my laptop or online that I would like to use, so I guess I have to wait until I get to my house to find something cool.

oh... I just thought of one... [this is a reminder for me - on the cover of proofs]

well... I'm going to get back to work... I just felt like wasting a little time.

babiegoose is back...

and nothing's gonna come between us again...

so here it is...

I think lorie makes the page much prettier.

she is totally prettier than me, so I figured I'd stick her in the banner.

now I have to figure out how to customize the rest of this skin/template/whatever...

I have to do it...

on my own...

Something is still terribly wrong with my blog, but I have not the time to switch over to something else... at least for now...

Again, I hardcode the entry using my trusty Notepad, because I feel like blogging about something, anything, because at any random moment I could possibly explode from boredom, insanity, anxiety, annoyance, incredulity, or stress.

the funny thing is, stress is probably the least of my problems, as although I feel pressure, there isn't very much stress here... where I am at this moment. Things move a lot slower here, and so do the people... which isn't bad. it's just different from what I am accustomed. I'm not sure if it is indicative of the rest of the different branches or different levels, but it seems they spend a bit too much money of security, and not enough where it is needed... but maybe it is where it is needed. who knows. (the shadow knows)... in any case, on top of the change of pace... the people are, um, more limited in their world view... not to say that I'm the embodiment of ambassadorship, but I've been around... and there is a thing I'd like to call 'tact' that I rather miss.

Yesterday was all saints day... (never ever have I ever felt so low) I forgot to church... (When you gonna take me out of this black hole) I think the severity of this is compounded by the fact that I was at work until 7:30PM, though as usual (Never ever have I ever felt so sad) by the way, I'm thinking St. Peter is my patron saint... something to do with a feeling I had and then reinforced by the fact that his primary feast day is on my birthday... (I'll keep searching deep within my soul for all the answers, don't wanna hurt no more)

I am going to eventually switch my cms, but I need to have a more consistent internet connection at my apt... it seems that I have been unwittingly stealing my internet connection from neighbors because there isn't a community or apartment wide wireless connection as I thought, and the housing team lied to me when they said I had an internet connection... the bastards... that and I cannot fathom having to use dial-up again...

By the way - brisk ice tea and white chocolate on an empty stomach... not recommended for a long car ride - and if you have to go... PLEASE, GO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

there is an exorbitant amount of candy around the office... I've been eating a lot of it... a lot of chocolate, a lot of taffy, a lot a lot a lot... I'll just get fat, it's the one vice left when you're dead meat... (there that's her. Maureen? Mimi! I should go, and it's beginning to snow!)

babiegoose [still] out until this thing gets switched...
