It's been a week since she passed. I still miss my baby, but I'm able to look at her pictures and smile now, remembering the good times. Of course, I would prefer she was here with me.....

I cried a little earlier when I found a video I had of her at my dad's trailer and I realized how much I missed having that meowing greet me whenever I returned home or whenever she just wanted to "talk."

I'll always miss her, but I also feel like I can make some room in my heart for another kitty now.
 
I'm feeling pretty fine.

Just filling out job applications and keeping an eye out for opportunities. I like volunteering at the library, but I want to do something more technical for them instead of shelving books. My Uncle also offered to take me by the brewing shop this weekend so I can get some supplies to start my projects when the seasons warm up.

However, I do want to make some more friends and connections up here in Oregon. It does get kinda lonely when all your friends are too far north and too far south of you (I've lived in both Washington and California).

I know how that is. I knew absolutely no one when I moved to Florida. It took me about 5 or so months until I found people I could consider friends. Just put yourself out there and you'll meet some people.
 
Tomorrow is the 1st of March, and on the small island I work on, the entire month of March is Spring Break time, so today's my last chance to clean out the yucky beer cooler. *SIGH*

I still don't know what causes all this gunk? its not just the mint leaves and sweet milk shoved in. Its gotta be some sort of sweat from the beer bottles.

It's most likely the milk and mint leaves. sealed beer bottles won't sweat. Leaving any kind of food or beverage exposed in a tight space causes mold/mildew. Because my family just loves to leave the tops off of things and/or leave exposed food such as cheese open in our fridge we regularly have to disinfect it, around once every 2-3 months. To check to see if it was an infection in the seals I cleaned it all out and then started putting everything in containers and/or wrapping them in foil and just like that, no gunk. Because it's a chilled environment the mold won't grow quickly when it's switched on but if you leave it unplugged for a few weeks at room temp that stuff gets everywhere.

Just clean and disinfect the fridge using anti-bacterial products and sugar soap, rinse it all out, dry it, check air intake filter if you have one, if you do, clean it anyway and run it for a day or two before putting anything in there and when you do, make sure everything is sealed. You shouldn't get any gunk from then on unless something spills and isn't cleaned up.
 
If I'd do sanitize it, I use degreaser, saniquat, basic restaurant cleaning supplies, mixed in with water, of course. Saniquat is really strong stuff, just use a little. I usually finish once all the gunk is gone though, I really can't have the beers out for long since this is an outdoor bar, but maybe I'll shove them in the walk-in fridge for the time being?
 
Erroneously believed I was in the house alone, so I intended to have a lazy day lounging around in my underwear AUGH YEAH .

So there I am, cooking pancakes in my underwear and my roommate walks in. If he had reacted normally it would have just been a weird embarrassing thing that everyone goes through, not noteworthy enough for a post here.

But he didn't. No "oh shit I'm sorry" or "what the fuck is wrong with you why are you making pancakes half naked?" or "OH MY GAWD *faints*."

He giggled and walked away. Like a little schoolgirl "tee-hee-hee" giggle and fucked off to his room.

Now I'm sat here in my room brooding. Thinking "what the fuck is so funny about me in my underwear motherfucker."
 
So yep, got that beer chest all clean. Today's weather was pretty ugly, and on days like this, its the perfect time to get the bar fully clean. So we did just that, I organized the liquor room, fronted up the top shelf liquor and brand name products, quite a good day.

And just as I've been predicting all along, Spring Break is here. I missed the 3:00 Ferry back to the big island because I needed to get the tire out of my car to measure it to replace the flat. So, I'm killing time and walking up the north end, now its like 3:40 and I'm walking back to the ferry dock, and like 8 girls walk out of a rental house by the ball park ready to explore the island. AUGH YEAH Told you Spring Break is on!

Now, if only I can just stop being a jackass and talk to these girls already, I came pretty close last year. My biggest fear is somehow seeming like a creep, because for all my personal pride, I'm such a quiet guy who's really passive in those situations. I kinda have a huge issue with talking over loud music too, like I can't hear myself speak (and thus, can't know what I just said... if it makes sense). I just want to solve this problem without drugs of some sort...

Maybe you just look silly without pants.
 
I was at Costco and I noticed this

Eh. I'm still trying to get accepted into University so I can continue higher education. I've finished an application packet, taken standarized tests, submitted writing samples. Paid application fees and test fees and polished resumes. Tomorrow I have to go in and submit ANOTHER writing sample and then I have an interview on the 6th.

I'm 99% sure I'll be accepted, but it's just a waiting game right now.
 
Well I just had a pretty interesting moment :lol:

I went to go get a pizza because I'm being lazy tonight and don't feel like cooking and after I pick it up, and I'm passing the plaza where the gym is, I see this little kid go speeding down on his bicycle down the road. This road does a few turns on its own, so I didn't catch up to him quick enough, but he was matching my speed of 20mph when I caught up to him. The big thing? He was riding facing traffic! On my island country, we drive on the left side of the road, yet we mostly use American produced cars so our driving wheel is on the same side...

It was so funny to see, this kid so close to ongoing traffic, the sidewalks were not on his side. I hope he was alright, its dangerous to ride like that.

I got a kitty today.
They say he's 9 months, but judging by his teeth they think there was a mix up about his age concerning another kitty. He still has teeth coming in. He was a stray and was brought in December of last year. You could say he claimed me, lol.

Everybody, say hello to Tinker:

His eyes are actually greener than this. And I caught him blinking in the second one.

I watched some episode of Blossom today on youtube, and I found Brian Krackow from My So Called Life playing a kid who brought a gun to school, and Blossom caught him, and he threatened her.

and at the end, turns out he shot himself playing with his gun, and Vinnie and Blossom hug and cry about it
