Donnie the Spaz

Our dog is a total spaz.  One of our visiting friends was petting him gently, when suddenly the yelping started.  I thought we were past this, but I guess once a spaz, always a spaz.

Way to spaz out, spazzy mcspazzerson.

Xbox Live Gold Membership

Over the last few days we finally received our renewal cards for our annual Xbox Live gold memberships.  My renewal card came with a new wired headset, a messenger pad, and Project Gotham Racing 4 (which we traded in at Target for Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga).  Lindsey’s renewal card was a 12+1, so she has 13 months of gold membership.  We’re looking forward to applying the renewals and not having to worry about it for a year.

Woo!

The Big Bang Theory

We recently got our hands on the first season of The Big Bang Theory.  We had seen a couple of episodes previously, but no more than a smattering.  We have heard really good things about the series, and decided to give it a full shot.

TBBT

This show is brilliant.  It’s hilarious, intelligent, and all around awesome.  We definitely recommend it if you find nerd and geek humor at all interesting.

Check it out.

Sandwiches

I love sandwiches.  They’re easy to eat, they taste phenomenal (if done right), they look cool, and they taste phenomenal (if done right).  What brings up the topic of sandwiches, you might ask?  Well, I’m eating one right now, and I felt like gloating about it.

I have a huge, delicious deli sandwich on a plate next to me.  I’m taking quick breaks between sentences to savor and consume my behemoth sandwich.  This particular sandwich is on a bakery loaf from our local supermarket, Vons.  It’s about four inches wide, three inches tall, and five inches long.  The bread is soft in the middle with a nice crunchy crust.  In between this lovely bread is green leaf lettuce, cheddar and swiss cheeses, Virginia ham, smoked turkey, roast beef, tomatoes, and a mayonnaise/mustard mixture.

It’s delightful.

Don’t you feel like having a bite?

WELL YOU CAN’T!  HAHAHAHAHA!

Maintenance Man

Last week we got a note on our door that the maintenance guys would be coming in our apartment for some routine stuff – changing air filters, checking smoke alarms, etc. Basic shit.

Well, they never came.

On Tuesday or Wednesday we got another notice saying that they were coming on Friday, yesterday, instead. Around 1, I heard some voices around and I poked my head out of the door. I saw the guys at the apartment across the way and asked if they were going to come to ours next, because I would need to put Donnie away in his crate so that he didn’t try and bite them. They said yes, so back inside I went to take care of Donnie.

About 3 minutes later there was a knock at the door, and it was them. One was the regular guy who is realllllly nice, and the other was this new guy and his big metal clipboard.

Maintenance Man

Technically we aren’t supposed to have Moogle because the complex is a rip off. In order to have Donnie with us, we had to put down a $450 deposit, and we have to pay an ADDITIONAL $20 a month for a stupid pet rent. When we signed the lease they told us that the pet deposit would be good for two pets. Later on when we asked about it, prior to getting Moogs, we were told that nope… we were misinformed and that it’s for 1 pet only. To get another would be another hefty deposit PLUS another $20 a month.

Fuck. That.

So I told the guys to be careful about the kitten and that we were watching her because Chris’s Mom was out of town on a cruise to Alaska. It wasn’t a total lie because she actually did take a cruise to Alaksa, it just happened in June lol. I said that she has leather couches (true fact), and that leaving a kitten alone with them wouldn’t be too good.

Clipboard dickhead goes, “well I have to let the office know that you have two pets blah blah blah.” Instantly pissed off I say, “no, we don’t have two pets. One is our dog that they know about. We paid the deposit and we have been paying the extra monthly pet rent. The other we are watching for my Mother-In-Law while she is away on a cruise.”

Apparently he doesn’t understand plain English because I had to repeat myself about a dozen times, but he kept on insisting that he had to let them know.

We can’t afford another pet deposit nor can we afford the additional $20 a month on our rent. With the addition of Donnie and the water/sewage, our rent is already a little over $850. Pet rent on Moogle would kill us.

If I get a notice or a phone call regarding this, Mr. Maintenance Man your ass is mine. I will tell them how rude he was, and say that he is no longer allowed inside our apartment, and that if he is… it’s so on.

Fingers crossed I don’t have to do this to the guy:

Commercial Ringtone Alarm

Many of you know that Chris and I both have iPhones. Both of ours are jailbroken, but mine is unlocked since I use it on T-Mobile.

Looking through Icy a week or two ago, I saw some ringtones of commercial jingles. I saw that the two packs contained the jingles to Fanta, Mentos, Hershey’s, K9 Advantix, Geico, Old Spice, and Snickers  so I downloaded both packs. Chris had to wake up early the following morning so I wanted to pick something so annoying, you couldn’t imagine being able to fall asleep.

Guess what I picked?

(PS – I’d like to add that the alarm goes off twice in the morning, once at 6:00 and again at 6:15, so we get a double dose of freshness 6 days a week!)

Depeche Mode

I love Depeche Mode. I have ever since I was a child, and right now I’m listening to them.

Depeche Mode

Currently “Enjoy the Silence” is playing through my PC speakers. Some of my favorite songs are “Personal Jesus”, “Policy of Truth”, “I Feel You”, “Barrel of a Gun”, “Dirt”, and “A Pain That I’m Used To.”

Oh, it also doesn’t hurt that Dave Gahan (lead singer) can be pretty dreamy and has an amazing voice. Just saying…

My Breakfast

Yes, I am blogging about my breakfast. Yes, you can start assuming that I am already running out of things to blog about… but you would be WRONG!

I am in a sharing mood today, and I view that by blogging about my breakfast, I am bringing you all one step closer into my sick and twisted world :)

This morning, I decided to have some Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch. It’s a delicious cereal, although I can’t imagine it’s too good for you, but I love it.

pbcrunch

Lately I’ve been on a peanut butter kick, so this cereal helps feed that need. Chris thinks I’m crazy because he despises peanut butter, but he doesn’t know what he is missing.

More for me!!!

Moogle and the Sink

As our cute kitten Moogle is growing, she is getting more and more curious. One of her recent fascinations is the bathroom sink since she can easily access it.

Her first experience with the sink wasn’t a good one seeing that it was meant to get her wet as a punishment for doing something really bad, I can’t remember exactly what now, so at first she was really apprehensive.

My other cat, who isn’t staying with us, loves to drink out of the sink so I figured that little Miss Moogs would like it too. I first started out with the stream being really low and I would bat at it to show her that it can be fun. Doing that obviously peaked her curiousity since she moved closer to the sink.

Then I actually lapped at the water coming out like she would to show her “this is what you do.” It worked because now… I give you Moogs drinking out of the sink!

Way to go Moogs!

Good Morning!

As you already know by now today is the Blogathon. I was so excited over it that I couldn’t sleep!

Chris has been taking on the posts starting at 6:00 AM, and since he is at work, I figured I would step in right now to relieve him. There is a lot going on today for us, as he already mentioned in a previous post, so we will be doing the Blogathon in shifts.

For my shift, I will be mixing things up a bit. We will be having prize giveaways throughout the day but to win them… you will have to post a comment on the blog post. In each prize giveaway blog, there will be more info.

prizes

To give you all a little teaser… the prizes will be Harry Potter related, and also Legend of Zelda for DS related. I might think of a few more things we could have contests for, so if I do check the blog!

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
