I walk, come home, and collapse in front of a fan. Atkins allows you to each veggies, but all those white starches are gone. I'm not too familiar with it myself, but I'm getting a book soon.

I rescued two kitties today!
I was at work this morning taking care of my usual morning routine. Safety check on the forklift, getting a coffee, stretching bla bla bla, and then taking some garbage out. Out in the yard we have a huge, metal, garbage bin about 10 feet high. Beside the bin is a wooden set of stairs for people to climb up so they can hurl their garbage in. The bin had been emptied out the day before so there wasn't a lot in it. I go to throw my big garbage bags in and I see two small cats freaking out and trying to escape. Luckily my bags didn't land on them or they woulda been crushed.
I wanted to get them out but there was no way I was going to jump in the garbage bin. What would I have done anyway? Picked em up? They're feral and would have clawed my eyes out. So I dropped a wooden skid in, standing up along the wall, climbed up on the opposite side of the bin and started banging it to make them freak out and climb the skid to jump out to safety. It worked. I don't care that they were feral. They are living beings and they are not causing anyone any harm. I don't want to see them get crushed by garbage. So I helped the little fuckers escape. Yay!

Awww, what a good deed. Granny had a trip to the hospital. She's back home now. She's got ulcers, again.

Went and saw The Hunger Games yesterday. It was pretty good. I might pick up the books to see how it continues.

Im reading the books now. Almost done with the first one. The movie was pretty awesome, and the book is for the most part the same, minus a few changes. And the book is told through Karniss's eyes so you don't see some of the stuff that happened in the movie. I am glad I watched the movie first though. Because now Im more in her head, and its very interesting.

I heard the books have more character development. I'd expect that though. Books usually always have more in terms of plot and character development. The movie was good enough to spark my interest in the books so I will get em eventually.

We adopted a kitty! I went to Pet Smart to buy bird food for these doves i have in my front yard and when I walked by the kitty adoption place one caught my eye. He was Orange with white feet and his name was Tango. He had no fur on his back so I inquired as to what happened. Apparently he came in with really bad chemical burns. The fur would never grow back and he would have the scar on his back forever.
Well that broke my heart and when I told Bryce about it we decided that a week later we would go see if he was still there. Neither of us figured he would be of course. WEll we went back and sure enough, there is Tango. No one wanted him because of his back. The burns are healed, just scarred and no fur. How could anyone hold that against him? So we played with him and he was just a sweet less than 1 year old kitten. (I think he is 10 or 11 months old).
So we brought him home and are still trying to get the girls to like him. RIght now they hate him and want to kill him. SO he has been kept in our bedroom with his own food bowl and litter box so that he has a safe place to run to when the girls are bitches. We are going to see if we can't figure out a better way to get them to at least not hiss and snarl every time he enter the room.
But we love our little Orange Tango kitty with no tail! (He is a Manx). He likes to sit in my lap when I read, and lay on the back of the couch and watch the screen as I play video games. Awesome little cat.

I'm learning how to drive, go me. I'm finally getting lessons from my father. I'm also getting to see my brother, and my dogs again on a regular basis, which is great. I missed my dogs!

I shall expect a stoned Norfy post later in the day then. Have fun at the concert! My weight loss is not doing too great. I've gained seven pounds in two weeks, that is bad. Really bad. I gotta start cooking more, and eating less processed food. I bought some Weight Watcher's cookbooks to help me out. Unfortunately, I look at raw veggies and only one thing comes to mind: Salad. I gotta get more variety in my diet. My cooking will serve Granny well too, she needs more nutrition in her diet. All she wants to eat are sweets unfortunately. It's because she is losing her sense of taste. It's an old people thing. She had her back surgery yesterday. She is still in this hospital. I am going to visit her later today thankfully, as she has not called me since she left yesterday morning. I am assuming it's long distance to call from the hospital phone, and she is looking at the cell phone I gave her with absolute confusion. *sigh*

I love it when I am working so hard to make sure Bryce isn't depressed (Anniversary of his mothers death) that I inadvertently make us both depressed.
The world sucks sometimes.

The mushrooms didn't really do anything to me this time. The effect lasted about 10 minutes for me then I was completely sober. I don't get why. But whatever. The concert! OMFG I have NEVER seen anything like that in my life and I probably never will again! It was un-fucking-believable! It was more than just music, it was a light show (to be expected from Pink Floyd). The concert was The Wall album so there was a wall built on stage. During every song the crew would add a few bricks to the wall and at the halfway part of the concert the wall was completely built so you couldn't even see the band. But that was okay because, like I said, it was also a light show and the light show was projected on to the wall.
The whole thing was so political. It was anti war, anti communism, anti Big Brother, anti corporation. There was a scene in the light show where a whole bunch of bomber plains were flying in the sky and they opened up. But instead of dropping bombs they were dropping logos and symbols. They were bombing the world with money ($), religion (crosses, star of Davids) and corporations (McDonalds, Shell, Starbucks logos). It was brilliant! They targeted the Apple company too with the light show. Things like iHunger, iConsume, iWant were flashing everywhere.
It was the best show I've seen in my life. I have never seen anything like that. My mom said she felt honored to see the show. It was so dramatic, so politically charged, so smart. In some ways I am glad the shrooms didn't effect me long. There were so many messages and innuendos and symbols that you don't want to miss out on any of it. I payed 160 dollars for my ticket, and I heard some people scalped their tickets for 700. Honestly, now that I know just how amazing that show was, I feel even those people who payed 700 to get in under payed. If it ever came down to it I'd be willing to drop that kind of cash to see it again. Roger Waters is in his seventies I don't think he'll be touring much longer. Who knows. Either way......AMAZING SHOW! ;D

Glad you enjoyed yourself. I spoke to Granny yesterday, and somewhat today. They're sending her ass to rehab/therapy, to help her get on her feet. I'm glad. She was trying to protest about it, didn't wanna go, blah blah blah, and her doctor told her that she was going, and that was final. Good for him.
