granny is still doing ok. it's just wearing on my mom (and pop) to take care of her day and not and not be getting any help from other family members. and the family that did come by today came in later than they said they would which only gave my parents 3 hours to get out and do all the things they needed to. and that wasn't enough time. mom wasn't happy 'bout that.

on rather short notice i decided to have a bday party for doug this weekend. fortunately most ppl i invited were able to make it out. so saturday morning i mowed the yard; got the backyard too as it was very nasty. hadn't touched it since last year sometime. we cleaned up the hedges a bit outside, and juile worked on cleaning inside the house.
doug came over early and we watched most of man-thing on sci-fi. pretty funny. then ppl started showing up, and when they all arrived we went to woodlands for some indian food. aftewards we went to the cheesecake factory, but just got some to go cause it was crazy-crowded over there. we came back and enjoyed our cheesecake, then watched six string samurai. it was pretty good, but not as good as i'd been hoping. most of the crew left at that point, but doug and shannon stayed behind and we watched jesus christ vampire hunter. this movie rocks.

today julie and i watched some tv we'd missed from earlier this week and then went to the mall for a bit with trish, then got our groceries and came back home.
i took some photos from sat and today and uploaded two new sets.

julie and i were discussing exxon's 8 billion dollar profits for 1st quarter '06, and cheveron's massive profits as well. oddly enough julie asked if it made me feel like playing hexonxonx from skinny puppy. creepy when she connects to skinny puppy songs quicker than i do...but she was right, and it did make me want to listen to it.
just thought i'd share the lyrics as it's a bit scary that they fit just as much now as they did 17 years ago.

hexonxonx:
miles cable claws
driller killer
ripping holes tattered cloth stained
regaining
the weather acid rains so sweet
sweat streaks downpour on humidity
colder time
talking hints
watching tests the heat
mangled meat
retaliate
no blaming
in future dreams
could you have stopped it from happening
best left
spectator
spectacle
time spaced
fast paced
farther down
pull that trigger
guaging
cause kills at will
melted prophets
book burning
how undone
written slurs the meaning
the past they will repeat
hard to hit
so unbeat
melting prophets
the past
melting
undone

misted fable role
altogether
mutating
chains rattle happy to perform
either war or famine
no where arid food growing
warming trends a place
passive cows to feed the weak
product waste give back nothing
orders come in
make a million living things suffer
hidden glad garbage
body bag
what of that change
that could save everything
that paper shredder
patent tender
puts us back in time again

hex on your black heart
make me sick

budgets that burst with oil
crude gas in purse
no compassion
common criminals
seek asylum
concrete pillow
exxon dreams
hidden hiarchy
no one in power taking blame

music: skinny puppy - love in vein
