[Ky/365 - Project 2010]

Current Song: A Perfect Circle - Weak And Powerless.

Ugh... I don't feel good. I woke up at 4:30pm groggy as fuck, and my throat hurt. I was on and off again, as usual lately... It's been an issue and I don't know why. My mattress blows massive donkey dick, so that's probably the reason. I came down after trying to fix my throat since it hurt. Nothing worked for it, grabbed my glasses and my watch, and Bethy's laptop and came down. I put the laptop in the living room, then ran to the bathroom. I talked to Mom when I came out, and she said we need to figure out what we want for dinner. She said she's going out shortly to go to the store and didn't know what to get, and wanted suggestions. I really had no opinion, but she asked Bethy, and Bethy didn't know at the time. Either way, Mom said she needed to go out and get Milk, and a few other things. When we were done talking, I got on the laptop and watched the breaking news, Mayor Ravenstahl did a Breaking News Q&A Conference update about the snow that's still here, and the snow that's coming. I texted Steph right after he started. In the process of all of this he basically just said that a special line - 311 - Is now active. Ravenstahl is asking for lots of private contractors to call, and assist if they have equipment. And National Guard Humvees in local neighborhoods tonight are driving around assisting everyone if they need help getting medicine or helping people trapped in their homes.

In the aftermath of the weekend's storm, hundreds of National Guard members have been helping Pittsburgh's emergency personnel respond to residents' needs; and beginning tonight, they're also going to be patrolling some city streets.

Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl says the city is expanding operation of its 311 hotline to 24-hours and doubling the number of lines to help meet residents' needs in the aftermath of this weekend's massive snowstorm. "If you have dialysis or insulin needs or you have some sort of pills that you need to get, you can call our 311 line," the mayor added, "we'll prioritize and we'll attempt to get the National Guard out to help you with anything that you need."

Update for today is that tomorrow morning there's a second snow storm coming in, Mom said there might be another one, which would be the THIRD, coming in too. Quick run down... National Guard is here driving around places in town, the power and heat still out in different places, and supplies are running low on food and gas in certain places, there's roads still covered in places... And there's a second round coming in tomorrow. This is going to be even worse tomorrow because of the snow we already got, and it's supposed to hit us harder than the last one.

Mom talked to me and Bethy and asked us what we wanted for dinner. Bethy said she wanted Steakums, so I suggested adding Onions to it when they made them for tonight. So that was the plan for dinner... Then Mom said she's been hearing there will be 6-10" or 4-8" inches of snow coming in... It was supposed to hit tomorrow night, then tomorrow afternoon, and now it's supposed to hit tomorrow morning around lunch time and run until Wednesday sometime. Mom had to run outside to get some stuff from the garage, and me, Bethy and Nick stayed in here watching the news. I'm still waiting to hear from Steph at 5:08pm, she must be busy at work. Nick has a Colonoscopy tomorrow and he has to take some pills and start drinking Chalk at 6pm tonight. One thing though... I'm worried about the roads tomorrow for them, since Mom needs to drive him there and back. And then Steph is off Wednesday and Thursday and I want to see her. This whole second wave might fuck up on me because of the new snow storm tomorrow. Like I said, Mom went outside to do some stuff, and I went to the door a little bit later to go out and help her, she was already done with what she needed to do, and came inside when I was getting ready to head out. She said I could go and shovel Nick's truck out, but really what's the fucking point? He always uses the car anymore. So I said fuck it and went back in the living room and got back online.

Bethy left to go with Mom to the store to get some stuff at 5:30pm, and me and Nick stayed here. Nick watched some TV on things about NASCAR, which I really dislike... And then the phone rang and he had to go and answer it. I took that opportunity to get off of my ass and play some more Madden for a while before everyone got back. I had a while to play because 24 was coming on at 9pm, so as long as I got left alone I could play by myself for a while. Steph finally got back to me so we've been texting back and forth a bit as I played, and apparently she killed Papa Saw this morning on zOMG :) Which is fucking awesome! Good work and congrats babe! Nick was doing his own thing for a while, and then Mom, Bethy, and Stephen got back seperately at around 6:45pm. Stephen came in with the baby and Mom and Bethy went outside to do some stuff... Or bring things in, whatever. And I kind of feel bad for Nick, just a little, because he's going through something I can't imagine doing when I get older. He needs to clean himself out, so... Yeah. But when I think of it, it really dosen't look that bad. I mean I drank shitty meds before, Chalk's no different from Tums as far as I'm concerned. I feel bad for him but at the same time I think it's well deserved for what he's put us through. Poop on pedo, poop on. LAWL.

Stephen watched me play Madden for a while, and gave me some tips, I finally beat that damn re-enactment of the Steelers Super Bowl comeback with Holmes. After like hours and hours of it last night and today. Then Stephen went outside to shovel for Emily when she gets here, and they made dinner while I kept working on Madden, with the baby seated on the floor next to me watching me play. Bethy and Mom came in and spent some time with the baby, she's so adorable, giggling and playing with her toys, looking up with these big eyes so curious. I want a baby like that when me and Steph have a kid, a nice baby that barely cries, and likes watching everything surrounding her. I kept playing Madden, and I gave Bethy the laptop so she could get online. Mom and Nick went to finish cooking, and Nick started drinking his Chalk and kept going to the bathroom every few minutes, which was kind of funny when he'd go running to the bathroom. I tried working on this other achievement for Madden where I need to do in Green Bay's stadium. I tried a few times to do it and failed, then when I tried again Stephen jumped in later on in the game, and then I wasn't able to get it because of him unexpectedly hopping in... We did like three plays and then he went to attend to the baby. These achievements suck because you can't do them in Co-Op.

At around 8:30pm dinner was done and me and Bethy went to eat. They didn't make the Steakums, they made Pierogies, which was fine... And unexpected. Not that filling either, but they at least added Onions and Sour Cream to the mix. Emily called and said she was here, and she wanted help outside. Stephen said for her to park and come in and then he'd go outside to help her. They attended to the baby, and Stephen put House on for a while before 24 came on. Waiting for 24 to come on was like a never-ending battle of boredom... Minutes turned to years, and this was what I was looking forward to this evening, other than talking to Steph. When it was coming on, the baby was acting up a bit, and I couldn't do much but just hope she stayed quiet when the recap was over. Luckily, they fed her, and gave her a bath, and changed her and all that and she stayed quiet enough for us to watch it. It seemed like Stephen and Emily were liking 24 for what they got to see of it, they never saw it before, but they went to bed shortly after that. But tonight... Let me tell you, tonight's episode I wasn't expecting it to blow me away... But it blew me so far out of the water, and drenched me with suspense... This is the 24 I know and love. Tonight's twist was just fucking EPIC. Good show Anne Wersching, good show! You play such a great part this season, and what you did, I was floored. I literally had my heart stop. Kudos to you, long live Renee's character for that one.

After that scene, I texted Steph with "Best. Episode. Ever.", which was nothing less than the truth. I've had better, but my god this was up there... She apparently went out to Pizza Hut with Lori, and talked for about two hours and I knew nothing about it. I had asked Bethy if Steph texted me at all, and she said no. Apparently she did though, and she either knew about it and forgot, or just overlooked it. Thankfully it wasn't anything life threatening... But she had fun, they talked about a lot of things. Me and Steph, them working, the new Brian kid that they both don't like which I'm honestly nervous about Steph working with... Lori's marriage, and her husband's affair. I don't want to get into all of it, let's just say they had a nice time and talked about a lot of things. The pizza was very good too from what Steph said, and I haven't had Pizza Hut in a while... That makes me want to go in the worst way -Hint hint-. Me and Steph talked for a while, about a lot of things involving our day but not really enjoying anything tonight. We were lazy, and bored, and she decided to get on zOMG at some point, so I did too. She played by herself, and I was too busy looking for a nice matching hat to go with my avatar. Gaia released these awesome Golden Wings earlier this afternoon, which you can only get in an item bundle. I want them in the worst way, but they cost about $15 Gaia Cash, or about 400k in Gaia Gold. Either way I'm breaking the little bank that's left... But I want them. And my sword, and my silver cat from Christmas time. So my wishlist? Golden Wings x2, Gaia-Sama, and North Star Kitten.

She played for a while doing quests and collecting orbs before checking the shops with me. She had asked earlier about Aquariums, and what the ugly statue was for (Which wasn't always ugly, it became that way with an event... It used to be a clam like thing, but since became an ugly statue), and I told her she could get items from it... I even traded over some fish and decorations for her to use. Cheap ones, but still... Other ones cost a lot of Gaia Cash and Gaia Gold to buy and I don't have any money left to use on anything. She played some Gaia Fishing and got bored with that, and zOMG, and said she wanted me to call her. So I did and we talked for about an hour. At 1:40am me and Steph got off of the phone and I blogged this entry while listening to some Music Choice. Bethy read some of her second Shopaholic book, and it's just a boring night. I had some Oreos and Milk, and I just chugged the last bit of Milk in the cup... It's been there for a few hours. Oreos and Milk just never ever gets old. Other than that though, that's pretty much it... I might have a Steakum, which Mom made before she went to bed - Bethy asked for them and Mom made them for her so we would have them for tomorrow. Nick's appointment is at like 7am, and they're leaving here around 5:30-6am to go. I don't know what hospital, but I hope they come back in time for us to hit up Denny's for the free Grand Slam tomorrow. Stephen just woke up and got a drink or something, then went back up. So now that he's back upstairs there's not much else to add to this entry. I think I'm going to play some Mass Effect 2 which I keep putting off... But first, I remembered some stuff I needed to mention.

I didn't win on the Dockers free pants "giveaway", so I think I'm going to write a formal complaint about their lack of intelligence, and just bitch and moan about the false advertising they did during the Super Bowl. Secondly, Mass Effect 2 is offering a free set of downloads tomorrow - Cerberus Armor and a long-range Shotgun! Fuck. Yes. At Noon Mountain Time, I'm so there... For sure. Third thing, they released a statement for Fable III, that they need to tell fans something and it's going to piss a lot of people off. I have to say I'm worried, but I am expecting something really bad... Here's hoping I'm wrong.

That's about all that happened today, now I'm going to go and eat a Steakum, drink a beer, and play some fucking Mass Effect 2. Night yo.

Catch you on the flippy-de-dippidy.

PS: I want to fucking go and see Brooklyn's Finest. Looks BAD. ASS.

Edit: I played Mass Effect 2 for a while, but the DLC was corrupted and wouldn't let me play with it... My guess is because I'm using my drive on Stephen's console. This just turned me off to playing, I want my fucking content and stat boosts. So the only thing I can think of it A, looking for a workaround, or B, using my console in his place... Which will be a bitch because of the two different power supply hookups. Basically he has one type, I have the other type, and if I want to use mine I need to swap the wires with his. Big hassle, fucking sucks. So I got bored, and Bethy read Shopaholic for a bit... Then I decided to play Madden 2010 in frustration with Mass Effect 2. Shortly after that, Stephen woke up at like 5:30am... Mom and Nick woke up too, and then they left around 6am sometime to go to his appointment. Emily woke up too, and Stephen and her started getting ready to go to work. It was just a long and uncomfortable morning. They were quiet, they didn't talk to me at all... Stephen eventually went to work, and Emily stayed here getting ready. She tended to the baby, and then she left to go to work too. I checked some stuff online, and then went to bed at 9am. Two big highlights for today is... I checked Movieweb, and they confirmed the 24 Movie which was long talked about. This makes me think they are making this the last season, which concerns me. Originally they stated that they didn't want to work on the show and the movie at the same time because it would be hard for the writers to do both. So here's the best news ever.

Best. News. Ever. - http://tinyurl.com/ylfrpfh

Then the second thing is I emailed EA about the code for Hot Topic again, they didn't get back to me last time... But I checked Hot Topic before I went to sleep, and look at this... They restocked the Dragon Age Shirt! Now the only thing is I need to order it online, and soon before they sell out again.

So yeah, that's my night.
