Afternoon Karl

Damn blog. Still haven’t figured out what the hell is wrong with it. Can’t upload graphics using the Flash uploader that is de facto in Wordpress. I did, however, find that I can use the browser-based uploader. Not as nifty, but functional. I know enough to be dangerous but I’m still pretty clueless to Wordpress. If any of you out there might know why I’m seeing the “HTTP error” whenever I upload graphics, let me know, please.

That’s all it says. One second it’s “crunching,” the next: “HTTP error.” No, there’s no number after it.

I voted early yesterday. I don’t mean early in the day, I mean I voted early…before November 4. I think it’s a great option that’s only been made available in recent years. I mean, yeah, when I was in the military I voted by absentee all the time. But having the option available to go before November 4, when everything is all crazy for 12 hours of poll time? Very nice. Granted, in a small town, even Election Day itself isn’t all that difficult. No major wait times that I’ve seen.

But it’s done, that’s the point. I have voted. I just wish I could fast forward through Election Day as quickly as I fast forward the commercials while watching “Heroes” on the Tivo.

I missed a hell of a weekend in Orlando, I’m sure. I was supposed to go hang with the girls up there and just couldn’t afford it. Not until my paycheck came, which it did. Today. Oh well, there’ll be a next time, I’m sure.

And even though it’s my first full paycheck, it’s pretty much spent already. This round of money goes to (1) the mechanic, and (2) the dentist. I have a lot to go in the Great Dental Adventure, I know. And with no dental insurance? Owch.

I did drop the car off at the mechanic yesterday afternoon and it’ll be ready on Wednesday. Finally, after well over a year, I’ll have fully-operable windows! I can once again go through drive-thru’s! Just in time for me to drive up to Orlando on Friday, too.

Yes, the time draws near for Avitable’s big Halloween party this weekend. I’m going to hang with lots of my favorite people and some new faves, too. Crystal is coming! Christine is coming! Lots and lots of folks. And I’m bringing a civilian, too. My friend Mindy is coming – she’s the girl who costarred with me in my final birthday dare video.

Thankfully, this also means that the Beard Countdown is down to five days. I’ve been growing this sucker since I did that aforementioned birthday dare and I can’t wait to get rid of it. Look at all the grey!

I could really use this party in a big way. I need to expand my circle of friends and, though I was really looking forward to a weekend with the girls last weekend, I knew I couldn’t afford it. So this weekend is hopefully what the doctor ordered. I’ve been stressed and disappointed the last few days and I need a break.

I need some fun. I need some relationship. Badly.

So it’s time for me to do something about it.
