Pre-Turkey Day

Kaka, Milan's residual. E 140 million in city relationship with his father ...

If the relationship between the father and "alleged" because if the paint, and I raised it.
After all, a Ryoji grandstander too much.
But not much more.

We talked about the relationship between the father and his brother killed himself at the scene prior to filming Warhol (although it may be said, but the actual movie), his father's outrageously with Warhol in the eating , showing how she grew up in any home.
But, the only flower was the father to maintain a good relationship.

I was at home still, the flowers were living with his father, saying he Nonoiti remember the sense of alienation from Haruhi. His mother, who went to the hospital every day as if it was a little mad.
And can not be vague sympathy for the suffering of her anyway, how to draw a shallow relationship with my father is stuck, not what comes through loud.

Drunk, but I can not solve, such as drunk (it's relationship with his father put it, facing a side dish of illness and death a grandmother, my mother finally visited the decades, to restore the relationship with father the thing ...).

Here's the menu:
- Turkey w/ gravy
- Ham
- Super Salad (named by my sister cuz apparently it's some bangin' salad)
- Mashed Potatoes w/ gravy
- Palabok
- Eggrolls
- Rice
- Eggplant Parmigiana
- Lasagna
- Corn & Green Beans w/ butter
- Shrimp Cocktail (one of those rings from the supermarket)
- Cranberry Sauce (my ONE can that I bought from the supermarket)

For Dessert/Snacking:
- Some Cranberry/Mandarin Oranges/Walnuts thing my mom found a recipe for
- Tostitos w/ salsa
- Cookies
- Jello Shots (supposedly)

There's gonna be plenty of food so ya'll can just drop by. The little one wants ham so I'm gonna save her some. Though the both of them are getting a deep-fried turkey from Popeye's for their Thanksgiving feast.

I wonder when I'll be able to see the Thanksgiving Day parade.

I'm a nerd

Methinks the idea behind these two sites conflict:

Monday Mission 3.47

My first time doing this one.

1. It is a lovely 21 degrees here in Oklahoma, and since walking in from the parking lot, I can't seem to warm up. I've got the coffee to my right and the space heater to the left and the non-functional central heat blowing above me. What do you do to get warm when you are very cold?
Wrap a blanket around me. Put on extra layers of clothes. Drink or eat something nice and warm like some hot soup or hot cocoa.
多恋人倶楽部

2. What is the first thing you do in the morning after you get up?
Pretty much ever since I was a freshmen in college, the first thing I'd do was turn on my computer (if it was turned off) and then check my email. It's so routine but so very essential.

3. I mentioned earlier in the week that Sub Hunt was one of the first arcade games I ever remember playing. Many years later I would become equally entranced by the Atari 2600 (ugh, I am showing my age now, aren't I?). Do you remember the very first video game you ever played (arcade, handheld, console, etc.)? What do you remember about that experience?
My mother used to have a family friend of ours babysit my sister and me. I remember playing a really hot (at the time) game of Atari. It might have been Pong or something really simple like that. Obviously, it didn't leave a lasting impression on me since I can't even remember what the game is today.

4. Do you have a good memory or do you find that you need to write things down to remember them?
Sometimes I have an uncanny memory when it comes to remembering things from my past, like my childhood or moments with my friends and/or family. Sometimes I'll have to stop and think just to recall just what I did the day before. When I hit college, right after I finished taking an exam, it's as if everything I studied that I crammed into my my mind just flew right out. My reasoning is that I have to make room for other things. For the most part, I make a habit of writing anything important down. Ironically, if it's important enough for me to write down, I usually remember it on my own.

5. I am currently really getting a kick out of the Citibank Citicard commercials about Identity theft, to the point of quoting them out loud (which no one gets, I really need new some geeky-er friends). What are some of your all-time favorite television commercials?
Well, I was in love with that GAP stretch pants for fall commercial that was playing a while back. I adore those M&M commercials especially the one where the guy is frustrated trying to get the red M&M to fall down the vending machine. I like seeing the HESS truck commercials every year because it reminds me of how I used to see them when I was a kid.

6. Since Thanksgiving is this week, I felt like I just had to throw in the obligatory food question, so here goes. Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving food that is made by one person, and no one makes it better? If not, then what is your favorite food to eat at Thanksgiving? (Those who don't celebrate Thanksgiving feel free to insert your favorite fall food)
Copying from my answer to another meme. I'm not too big on turkey. I like deli turkey better, the kind you make sandwiches with. The other turkey is just real dry to me. I really want to eat some ham. Ham is great for leftovers. We've never had cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving so I want to try that, even if it's nothing special but sauce in a can. And I wanna hit Friendly's and have this fantastic Thanksgiving sandwich. There's stuffing, melted cheese, turkey, and cranberry sauce!

7. Wireless telephone companies will now let you move your cell number to another carrier, or move your land line number to your cell. Not only is this incredibly convenient, it forces cell phone companies to be more competitive. Are you planning to switch cell phone companies as a result of this new law, or possibly pit two companies against each other for a better deal?
Nope! I'm planning to stay with my current carrier, Verizon. I've done T-Mobile (back when they were called Voicestream), Sprint, and Verizon. I love Verizon. I've gotten the best service and overall signal from these guys.

BONUS: Where? In a pear, Cher.

Because I care

If it isn't one thing, it's another. My mother came into mine and my sister's rooms this morning and told us that my father was in a car accident. We panicked at first, but calmed down when she told us it wasn't serious. He had stopped at a light, but the car behind him didn't slow down enough and just kinda bumped into him. The damage was enough that the muffler is messed up now, from what my sister told me.

He went to the eye doctor today. His prescription was way old so he had to get new glasses. He might have an issue with his eyes too.

My mother was telling me that she's just kinda mad at how my dad just let things get this bad. She says that he has to take it easy cuz look at all that happened in just these past couple of days. He's a total workaholic and he needs to just relax. With all the time and energy he puts into the apartments and work at his age, it's just all too much.

I had a hard time sleeping last night because I was thinking about my father. I was surprised that I started crying. When my friends were talking about possibly going to Hong Kong over winter break, all I was thinking about was how there's no way in hell I would want to leave my family right now.

I had a lot of drama with my friends and past relationships. I shed a lot of tears, and I wasn't at all surprised at how emotional I would get. But for some reason, when I think about anything slightly negative concerning my family, I just get hit so hard with all these emotions. And it just kinda catches me off guard.

It's on my mind

I was thinking about my father a lot when I went out to dinner with my friends tonight. We found out that he has to go to surgery in January for one of his conditions, while with the other condition, we have to wait till January to find out if it's cancerous. It's all kinda surreal. It's actually really scary too. I know the first condition is a normal thing, but the fact that he has to go to surgery for it scares me a lot. Surgery is a big deal, and really, what if something just goes wrong? And I don't know too much about the other condition but I know it's a big deal. My dad's been putting off his medical issues for so long. What if it has reached the point where he has cancer? I know I don't exactly have the best relationship with my father, but the thought of losing him scares me to death.

A gyro lies in you

Gyro. The sandwich. Gyro. You're saying it wrong! The correct pronunciation actually rhymes with the word "hero". You learn something new everyday. Unless you already knew this, then I'm the one who's been in the dark.

Every since I found out that the meat in gyros is really lamb, I can't bring myself to eat them. I just can't do that to lambchop.

Punch me in the gut

Since I've moved back home...

# of blackouts I've been through - 3
# of water losses - 2

The worst thing was when the power came back on after 2 hours but the internet was down for the ENTIRE DAY. What is the point of having a computer if you can't go online? I resorted to reading, READING. And I even listened to the radio, oh my god.
