NYARRGH!

Gah, everything is pissing me off lately. I've been hiding in my office at work mostly, because seems like when I interact with co-workers, they get under my skin. Blame it on the heat, or blame it on myself?

Anyone miss Wegmans?

I got your backs covered!

Sweet, sweet technology

Yes, I've posted my first photos to this blog - one of my house, one of my cat. I had to download Hello and Picasa to do it. I think I did it right. There's got to be a way to upload more than one picture to a single post. But maybe not. I guess I'll have to muck about with it, because I just ordered.... A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA!!!! (studio audience applauds and hoots) Sometime next week, I'll get my new camera. Should be pretty fun. Like I said, bear with me - it's my first day on the internet (hurr hurr).

Casa de Me

This is the old (new) Koshykar homestead. Newly sided this spring. Pretty swank, I guess.

Here's Katrina - my cat, sitting in one of her favorite positions.

Zoom! Whoosh!

I did manage to go to the air show on Sunday. The weather was absolutely miserable. I almost didn't go, because less than an hour before I told my friend I would get there, it was pouring rain. But the rain passed and gave way to - unbelievably oppressive humidity. This made it difficult to see the planes in the hazy sky.

But I made it in time for the Thunderbirds show. They do all sorts of crazy stuff that I would never, ever do - like fly upside down and pass within a couple feet of each other's wings. Then the show was cut short due to a potential for another thunderstorm. Ah well.

I still managed to get a little bit of sunburn on my face and neck.

And no, they did not play "Rock You Like A Hurricane." I can't help but be a little disappointed by that.

Hott

Yes, summer has arrived here. Ick. I'm caving in and buying an air conditioner after work today (yes, that's right, I'm posting at work - take that, the Man!). I'm going to put it upstairs, because my upstairs is really stuffy. I have ceiling fans, but I'm still hot, so I'm going to excercise my right as an American consumer, dammit. Each room upstairs only has one operable window. Two rooms (my bedroom and the spare bedroom) have a second, half-sized window that doesn't open. One of my co-workers says this is some sort of a unique Rochester thing - he's never seen these little architectural details (useless, if you ask me, except to let some light in) in houses in other cities. They are both on the north side of the house. Wonder if that means anything?

In other news (and there hasn't been much - hence the week plus without posting anything), I've managed to get a free ticket to the air show on Sunday. I've never been to an air show. I hope I can resist the temptation to say "vroom" and "whoosh" as planes buzz over my head. It should be pretty decent, I think. Better than doing yard work. I whooped my yard into some kind of shape, and it's still bearing me weeds. Alas. At least the roses are starting to get buds and blossom.

Yee ha!
