Ok, The Bomb-itty of Errors is running tonight through the 17th down at Demens Landing. Anyone interested in going? It’s an amazing show, I promise.

Lemme know when you’d be able to and I’ll try to organize a bit outing.

Looks like I’m going to have a new air conditioner installed on Tuesday. At this point it’s kind of up in the air, as I’m going to have to get my Mother to co-sign with me in order to get it done. She’s going to call over to the salesman and give her information to him tonight.

Do I want to do this? No. I most certainly do not. I really don’t have much choice in the matter at this point, though. My current unit continues to get worse on a daily basis. As it currently stands the circuit breaker is flipping off on a regular basis and we constantly wake up in the morning with the house being overly hot because the compressor is off. We also had no heat again this winter, and space heaters just don’t do the trick (not only are they kind of unsafe, they also have a tendency to overload fuses and make rooms entirely too hot or not hot enough).

So.

Another monthly payment for the house approaches soon.

Joy.

Edit Oh, and for those of you who don’t live in Florida and who might be thinking “Well, you don’t really NEED an air conditioner.” Yeah, you do. It’s damned near impossible to sleep down here in the middle of summer if you don’t have it. Heat you can live without. Life without an A/C, however, is damned miserable.

He’s finally passed.

Rest In Peace, John Paul.

That is all.

Yeah, I’m trying to get you to spend money again. Sue me.

As many of you know my son, Alex, has Type I Diabetes. While he has largely learned to live with it, I can still see the frustration behind his eyes every time I have to say to him “because you have diabetes.” He will never be able to just have a meal without worrying whether or not it will affect his blood sugar. He currently has to give himself injections at least twice a day and stick a small needle into his finger to check his blood sugar more frequently than that.

His situation is not the worst possible situation a person could face by any means, but seeing him go through it as his Father tears me up inside.

Why post about this? Because etcet contacted me recently and asked if Alex could possibly benefit from his taking part in a walk to raise money for Diabetes research. Alex is not directly involved with the organization in question, but any money that goes towards research in that field is money well spent as far as I’m concerned and I told him as much. As I read in his journal today, he did indeed decide to take part in the walk, so I thought I would post a link to his donation page and see if I could drum up some more money for him. I mean he is, essentially, walking for my son. It’s only fitting I try to help out.

So anyway…Go donate some money, ya bastiges.

Side note – Through this and other recent examples I am becoming more and more aware of just how lucky I am to have met etcet. Yet another thing I have netgoth to thank for.

This could be your final chance, ladies and gentlemen, to see Tampa’s own “Bad Boys of Abridgement” tackle the Bard and American history in the pairing of shows –

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)

and

The Complete History of America (abridged)

After 13 sold out performances of Shakespeare between 2001 and 2005, and 10 sold out performances of America in January of this year – Jobsite packs up their trunks and takes both shows across the Bay to the Largo Cultural Center.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) plays at 3pm on Sunday, April 3 and The Complete History of America (abridged) plays at 7pm that same night.

Make a day of it and come see both shows!

Don’t take our word on how hard you’ll pee your pants:

On Shakespeare (abridged):
“The actors are unwilling to let any member of the audience have a bad time, and their simple joy is infectious. They are absolutely fearless and unending fun.” – Peter Smith, St. Pete Times

Shakespeare (abridged) was also chosen as one of 2001’s Top 10 productions by Weekly Planet!

On America (abridged): “I haven’t laughed so loud since I saw The Producers” – Mark Leib, Weekly Planet

“It’s probably impossible not to have a good time.” – Amanda Henry, The Tampa Tribune

Please join us for our first trip across the Bay as we invade the Largo Cultural Center!

I want a cigarette.

It’s over.
