Not really, but I couldn't think of a good title...:)
Just a quick update as nothing too exciting has happened in my life since the last post. Morticia (or Morty as he now wants to be called....who wants to be called Morty?) moved into his new place in Burbank. I'm sure he's a lot happier and it's nice having him just 10 mins. down the road.
I continued to sand the doors in my place, I will do more tonight. My goal is by the end of the week to have them all painted and lookin' fantastic!
I dunno about bingo tomorrow, much to do but ya never know ;) sometimes I just can't keep myself away. Mmmm KOBE burger! :)
So has everyone been up too? C'mon, I know you read this thing, I have stats! :) Post!

Previous Bingo pics as promised!
Okay, as promised....here are a few pics from bingo from a while back...sorry it took awhile, but hey, I've been busy! As a reminder, click on the pics to enlarge them! (All pics listed in this post were taken by my good friend Sheldon...drunk and sober! :) )
These are few pics are from Bingo when Mo Collins (From MadTV famously known chiefly by her character Lorainne) showed up and played with Belle-Aire's bingo balls...
Here is a Pic of Mo calling out a ball as Lorainne! I did my Lorainne impression to her and she actually said it was really good! :) "Uhh uhh uhh!"
Here is a pic of Mo and me. Too blurry but I thought I'd post it anyway...
And the final pic of Bingo Mo night with taken with my friends Matt and Steve with the beautiful Mo Collins in the middle!
The following week at Bingo...Guess who was one of the guest celebrity Bingo ball callers?..You guessed it, *ME!* hahaha What a fun night it was!
Here is a pic!
Here is a pic of my friend Roger and I having fun that night. It was Roger's first time at Bingo. He is *SO* much fun to play bingo with!
And the final pic pic of the night is a pic of Roger, me and Walter. What great pals to have!
Who ever said playing bingo is boring, obviously has never played it in West Hollywood! :)
This catches you all up on the pics I owe. I hope you enjoyed them!

Bingo!
Last night was Bingo night. What a great night it was! I went there early on my own and had a drink while reading the latest issue of "Frontiers". I chatted with Bingo Boy for a bit and he gave me a "Bingo VIP Card" haha Now I don't have to print out the e-mails for double games, just show them my card! :)
About 1/2 hour later, my new friend Douglas showed up, followed by Walter.
Bingo was a hoot. The Celebrity Guest was Adrienne Zucker from Days of Our Lives. She was a guest back in November I think. Again, she was totally awesome.
Here's a pic of us! Remember, click on the pics to enlarge!
She's a very nice person and I hope she comes back again soon!
Here is another pic of her posing for my camera, it's a bit blurry (a few chocolate martinis will do that!)
Roger showed up about half way through and sat with us. He is SO much fun at Bingo! When G-50 was called (The call back is from Saturday Night Live..."It's the Sally-O'Malley G...G-50! I like to kick and stretch and kick cuz I'm 50! 50 Years old with my camel toe!") Roger kept yelling at Adrienne "What's a Camel Toe?" She replied "I'd show you but I don't have one! I'm wearing a dress!"
haha
Anyways, it was a blast as usual!
Candy, however, moved to Amsterdam so I am going to try my bext to meet up with her when I go on vacation. That's be really rad!

A rainy sky, a power tool and a nice relaxing weekend
This weekend was a weekend of much needed rest!
It started out on Friday when a heavy rain. I sat with the cats and took a few naps and just did nothing for a while but enjoy the sound of the rain falling. It was nice.
I decided to get off my lazy butt though (just briefly!) and go to Homo Depot and (gasp) BUY an electric sander so I can sand my doors and bathroom walls etc. so the water based paint will go on over the old oil based.
So, feeling rather butch, I bought my first ever power tool, came home and took another nap before trying it out! :) It worked nicely but I have to get some rougher sandpaper.
Friday night, my friend Roger came over and we watched Narnia. It was my third time but his first. :) I love that movie.
Saturday rolled around and Hmmm....what did I do Saturday...Oh I went shopping with Morticia for some much needed bling! I ended up buying a really cool silver necklace (I don't like gold...not my my skin tones anyway) and then we met up with Walter and we all had dinner at The Stinking Rose in Beverly Hills.. It's always been one of my favorite restaurants. It was Walter's first time there and he loved it! For the first time in all the years I have been going there, they had all of the rooms opened up! We ate in the grotto..the vampire room! Fake cobwebs everywhere and stuff.....very cool!
I bought some funny hot sauces for my Mom, so I'll ship those to her soon.
We got dessert afterwards back in the valley at one of my favorite dessert places, Humphrey's frozen yogurt. I ordered my usual (Chocolate frozen yogurt with peanut butter and cookie dough).
We watched a few episodes of Sex and the City and called it a night.
Sunday, I noticed my cel phone had been acting funny. It wouldn't ring but I found out voice messages were being stored in my phone. Weird.
We went to see Adam and Steve at the sunset 5. We got there a bit early and strolled around Virgin records for a bit. The movie was okay, but a little weird. We ate a California Pizza Kitchen afterwards (where I got my usual Thai Chicken Pizza...yummy!) then came back home and watched the Sunday shows (Sopranos and Desperate Housewives).
So, here I am back at work. I cut out coffee so I am back on my hot lemon water. Yum. haha.

No Stutz's Coconut Creme Egg this year...
...I must be crazy! I told my Mom not to get me one because they are too fattening. Sigh, but oh the chocolatey and coconutty goodness.....MMmmmmmm
Oh Well, small price to pay for having a better body, but MAN I want one.
Last night I was haunted by the smell of fudge brownies...I could smell them plain as day like they were baking in the kitchen. Mmmmm
On the verge of a 3 day weekend. I'm excited because I get to have fun all weekend. I'm even gonna buy some bling for myself ! :) oo0oo0o0 Bling!
Barby is coming for a visit too in June! I love it when my friends visit! I haven't seen her in a few months so it'll be nice to have her and her family here :)

I hate slow people
No, I'm not talking about retarded people just people that move and think SsssLllllOooooWwww.
You know the kind....they drive slow, they walk slow, they think slow.
Sometimes, it's just too much for a Leo to take! For all you fire signs, you know what I'm talking about.
A few I.e.'s...
When someone is switching lanes to the lane in front of you or worse out of your lane to the lane next to you...they take forever, they just inch the car along over and over and over until finally they are in the next lane and you can put your foot on the gas and pass them.
The slow person behind the counter scanning your items while talking to a co-worker. It's just like.."Here, let me just do it."
Anyways, I was going to post more but I have to get back to work. You get the idea. Enough bitchin' for now. :)

Great Gagily Gooks!
Whew, what a weekend!
Busy, busy but soon I will take a break!
It all started out on Friday. I bought my supplies Friday afternoon at lunch time and Friday night when I came home from work, the painting of my bedroom began. Ugh Ugh Ugh! haha
First off, the paint very very watery (Never buy Glidden paint!) so it took me *3* hours just to paint my room!
While painting, I was kneeling painting toward the bottom of the wall behind the big screen tv. When I stood up, the corner of the TV dug into my back and ripped at my flesh, cauing a tear about 6-9 inches in my skin. Bleeding and screaming in agony, I stood up and lost my balance. I fell into the hydrogen lamp which fell over on the floor causing the glass bowl on top to shatter all over.
I slit my thumb on the wall scraper. It felt like a big papercut on my thumb, no even worse, a cardboard cut! Then a blister the size of a pee appeared over the split area rendering my thumb useless!
Ouchie!
haha
Saturday, I woke up and expected to hear birds singing while I stetched and looked at my beautiful new green walls. Well, there were no birds and the paint looked like shit. Not only was it blotchy and would require a second or third coat, but the color was this old person antique puke green. Immediately I got pissy and said that if I have to go to Homo Depot and buy more paint and paint the room AGAIN, I'm going to do it in a color that wasn't so revolting!
So, I picked a nice light olive color that looks great! I really love it! (Back to using Behr paint). I then started to redo my switches and outlets before Morticia came over. (My goal was to have it all done before he came over so we can hang out and do something fun for a change!) I re-wired and put on my new light switch. Boom! it worked! I redid the telephone jack! Boom, it worked! I re-did 3 outlets! Boom, they worked! I thought "Yes! I did learn something!"
Morticia came over and then it went all wrong. We were down to our last two and we couldn't get them to work. Realizing they must be connected, we still couldn't figure out the problem. Finally after 4 hours at 7pm I gave up and called a electrician. It was after hours on a weekend so they said the charge to come out would be 150 bucks. I grumbled, but with wires hanging out of my wall, there was little else I could do but accept their offer.
Well, this smelly blue collar man comes in my place, I explain the situation and he says "Before I start any work I have to write you out a quote". a few minutes later he hands me an estimate for 500 bucks! I was so mad I promptly kicked him and his horrible B.O. smell out of my place and called Mike (My old boss and friend). Since he is a manly man and owned his own house with his wife and kids, I knew he had to know what was going on! Sure enough he did! He helped me correct the problem over the phone (The outlet connected to the light switch had a crossed wire) and at 10:30 at night all was well. Whew
Morticia and I got some food and watched Sorpranos from the week before then I just fell asleep. I slept 11 hours.
Sunday, I decided I wasn't going to do anything paint related. Morticia came over and we spend the day searching for hotels for our trip. We got them all booked except for Amsterdam. We will do that this week.
So, here it is Tueday. I am going to Homo Depot at lunch to but a gallon of Ultra Pure White Semi-Gloss for the doors and trim in my bedroom and finiching the room up tonight. It looks so good so far.

Ugh! People with OCD Should Never *EVER* Paint!
It seems like I will never be done painting! I could be walking down the hallway and see the tinest spot or abnormality, so I go get the paint can, shake it up and open it, put on a little dab then close it all back up and put it away. This goes on a few times a night! haha Oh Well. WHat can you do...
I know, I'm going on much to much with this whole revamp thing, but it needs to get done and it is looking great!
Last night I paint some shelves and repaired some damage in the walls (Me using spackle?! Who knew...) I also took all of my Action Figures down and taped all around the ceiling in my bedroom.
Tonight's Agenda:

Brown! I see brown!
Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the blog lately, I really have been majorly busy.
Bingo was a blast on Wednesday (I will upload the pics when I have time). I was even a guest ball caller with Belle-Aire! It was one of the funniest nights there!
Since last Wednesday though, I've been busy with the apartment.
I got the spare room all finished. It's a neat-o color. In the daylight it is mostly white unless you look really close then you can see the smallest hint of pink, but when the sun goes down and the artifical light comes on, it is much more pink (a little more pinkl that I would like but oh well, it looks good....my big gay room. hehe).
Being in a real time crunch, I was forced to revisit my original project plan. Having to get all the carpet rooms done rather quickly, I moved the bathroom to the end of the list and started to tackle the hallway, living room and dining room.
I started on Saturday and Good 'ol Morticia came over to help! As always his help was very much appreciated! We painted all of the walls a nice light chocolate color. We got all the flat paint walls done at 4am! Morticia just stayed the night so he didn't have to go home then come back and Sunday we tackled the semi-gloss arteas (doors, trim etc.) We got a first coat done and went to Home Depot once again to get all new light switches and outlets. It was great to replace the old time light switches with the new toggle switches and the old style outlets with the new as well.
The Agenda this week:
Tonight, finish the second coat of trim, tape around the bookcase shelves.
Tuesday, Paint shelves and finish inventory of my Action Figures.
Wednesday, (No Bingo, too busy), finish shelf painting.
Thursday, Box up Action Figures.
Friday, Paint Bedroom (walls flat paint).
Saturday, Paint Bedroom (Doors, Trim - Semi-Gloss).
Sunday, Paint Bedroom Closet.
After this week, then I will take a break and get back to enjoying life again...I miss the Abbey! :)
