I should probably set out to claim my revenue, so I can eventually buy that violin...

I bought a trumpet today, $1.50. It will probably need a good 3-4 hundred in work. :/

It was made in 1970, so that's pretty nifty.

As seeing that this place sells student trumpets for a minimum of $945 new, paying 401.50 to have this thing refurbished/overhauled doesn't seem too bad.

After some polishing and such, it should clean up to be a pretty nice horn.

Now if only I could play it.

I still need to get that violin...

(apparently 21 one is not the same as 21...)

So either yesterday or the day before, 21 robbers came a'knockin' at my door.

Actually, one of the bars of soap "fell".

I say "fell", because I went to go pick it up and rehang it, and I notice a ton of teeth marks in it, like something tried to eat it.

I'm figuring it was the deer, because it fell, perhaps they were pulling on it to get a taste, or wanted to investigate it.

But seriously, deer, wtf. How stupid can you be to think something that smells so horrid could possibly be edible or even tasty?

It's soap! It smells like artificial clean! Surely a deer would be smart enough to say "oh this does not smell like nature, I will leave it alone".

Dumb-ass jerk-deer.

The jerk-deer appear to have stayed away from the birdfeeders.

Jerks are getting bold and coming up near the house, though.

I'll call the soap for me, until it stops working, as it probably will.

It's nice having a house, I can listen to muzaks loud and obnoxiously, and I guess no one can call the police?

I'm not shaking the ground, but the windows are pretty... old, and more than likely not sound-blocking.

I have a sudden desire to watch Cowboy Bebop.

I went to make some coffee in my new-to-me coffee maker.

After washing it and letting it dry, I put in three cups of water, figuring three cups of Jess-strong coffee would be perhaps enough, since I can generally knock back one cup and still want more.

I put in three cups of water.

I get 1 and a teensy more cup of coffee that is pitch black, since I put in 3 cups worth of grounds.

I decide to put in another three cups of water, noticing that the pot has lines for 1 cup, 2 cups, and 6 cups, but not 3, 4, or 5. Go figure.

After this three cups, and the initial first three cups, I now have a total of six cups of coffee, which makes sense... I guess. I imagine my mug holds about 10 ounces, which is 2.5 cups...

I have too much coffee. T.T It's strong, so I could ice it... but I don't like iced coffee.

I'll take cup #2 slowly so I don't get the jitters.

The deer do not seem to have molested the birdfeeders.

I'm going to give it another day, and see what happens.

Speaking of Round 2.

I am looking into local places for engaging in the arts of martiality.

So I found this one place, with a guy from around home. That's kinda cool. Their class is two hours long.

That's a bit too long for my tastes just yet.

This place has a 30 day free trial, and a nice selection of things. I'd probably take up kickboxing.

This place has 1st through 3rd degree black belts teaching. Maybe their black belt standards are massively higher than the ones I grew up with, but I don't think that I'd entrust my learning to someone below a 4th.

There is NO WAY that I can take this place seriously. WAAAY too much dragon/flame/etc going on, and if I had the guy with the emo hair cut teaching me (I would hope not, again, 1st-3rd degree teaching issues) I don't know that I would be able to keep a straight face.

So I keep looking around.

They have a FAQ. With Q = Question's.

3. Why do you where Black Gi's where others wear White Gi's?

Black is Kenpo traditional color. it signifies Death ! Kenpo was designed for WAR !!! it's a Killing art. (now that I scared parents reading this your child will be taught how to defend themselves and when to use it.)

Ok, I can accept the where/wear mistake. There's several in that question to trip you up.

Now the answer? WHAT? Uh, maybe it's just me, ... maybe it's just me.

I also take issue with:

4. Are you a Parker school?

No... we are traditional Kenpo not American Kenpo.. We teach what Ed Parker was Originally taught and what all other kenpo/kempo systems came from. for those that like or want to argue this fact....

Do you homework and look it up.... I'm right, Your wrong, PERIOD.....

Last sentence? Completely unnecessary. Also, I learned my Kenpo from Seikichi Odo. Quite an awesome little man, if I may say so myself. I do believe Ed Parker had not much of anything at all to do with it.

Also, more flames and photoshop.

WTF flaming child!.

Certainly they could probably all kick my ass, but that's not the point. I'm looking for a place to take up some ass-kicking-learning (so I can beat up the jerk-deer), and this place is not it.

So we have moved into our lovely abode. Mostly.

The woman who owned the house before us left birdfeeders.

I put birdseed in them.

Who should come along to raid my birdseed?

Certainly not Mr./Mrs. Squirrel. I don't think I've seen them go near the feeders.

Not Mr./Mrs. Grackle, I've only seen one, also not near the feeder.

And I pray that it is not a bear.

I do believe that it is Jerk-deer.

The fuckers, they come and knock over my birdfeeders, and eat all of the birdseed!

So round 1 consists of me making a peace offering to the deer. I buy some critter feed and a bucket, figuring the deer will appreciate their own treat. The next morning, my birdfeeders are fine. They didn't even touch the one I filled with more critter-feed in case they came up this far. Damn pricey deer.

Round 1: Me.

I figured that maybe they wouldn't come bother the birdseed last night, and they broke my birdfeeder. There wasn't even anything in it! Fucking Jerk-Deer. I'm going to punch them. Assholes.

So maybe it should be Round 1: Jerk-Deer.

Round 2, I have hung bars of soap, as it is supposed to keep jerk-deer away from my birdfeeders. We'll see how this turns out.
