Journal mcgrew's Journal: -- Saturday Sex and Sunday Cuddles 3
I'd had a date planned with Tammy for Sunday. The previous Sunday she was supposed to come by and take me to church with her, then we were going to have lunch; she'd made lasagnana, and watch a few movies. Church happened, but she said she had to visit her mother in the hospital and had to cancel the rest of our date. I was disappointed, but her cancelling dates and cutting the ones she didn't cancel short was getting old. And she paid part of the money she owed me and left the lasagna, which was even better than Saputo's, a nice Italian restaraunt downtown whose lasagna I had previously thought was the best I'd ever eaten.
I went to Felber's and got shitfaced.
Monday I came down with a cold. By Wednesday I was deathly ill. I took the afternoon off and went home and camped on the couch watching Star Wars. Later that afternoon my lungs were so full of fluid I could hardly breathe. I'd have gone to the hospital if I'd had the energy to drive. I'd rolled a joint the night before, but hadn't smoked it. I lit it up, took two tokes, and started coughing. I must have coughed up a pint of phlegm, and wonders! I could breathe again. Truly a wonder drug the herb is, hmmm?
Friday I took Amy to school on my lunch hour, and picked her up after work. She was fighting with Tim, but I was too sick to give her what she wanted. I drank a couple of beers with her. "When are you going to clean that nasty bathtub?" she asked. "After I get the drain unclogged," I said. "I put Drano in this morning, but it needs some more. But look, hon, I'm too sick to fuck and you think I have the energy to clean a bathtub?"
"I'll do it for twenty bucks", she said. Sounded like a good deal to me!
Saturday morning I felt almost human, and called Tammy to see if she was going to break our date. Indeed she was. I was angry and told her off -- I was sick of this. I'm not taking her out any more; I'm tired of her making dates then cancelling. I've spent way too much time and effort on her. Shortly afterwards Amy called. "That asshole's going to his brother's and leaving me here by myself and I don't even have anything to smoke. Why don't you come get me and let me clean your tub? I need cigarettes!"
She put Comet down in the tub and asked if I was well enough for sex yet. "I need some dick!" she said. "I've been too pissed at Tim to fuck him, but I'm horny as hell." I was feeling much better, so we laid down for a "nap" before she finished the tub, then we went to Felber's for a couple of beers. Tim called and said he was home, so I took Amy home and went home myself and watched a movie and read more of TFM for Kubuntu. Why doesn't Windows have a FM? I got Firefox installed, but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it in the kMenu; I have to start it from a command line. I have a lot to learn; Linux and KDE have changed quite a bit since Mandriva 2005, the last distro I used. Almost as much as XP changed when 7 came out, but the difference is that Windows didn't add much functionality, just moved shit around for no discernable reason.
I thought of going to church without Tammy Sunday morning, but that particular church (a very nice one) is all the way on the other side of town, and I wasn't sure exactly where it was, since I'd only been there once. I drank my coffee and fumed some more about Tammy breaking yet another date. I ran some dishwater and put on Mike and Dan's blues show on WQNA at noon, and Charlie called wanting some company. The radio and TV sound real good now. Tami's boyfriend had sold me a 200 watt Pioneer stereo for ten bucks; it's good to be a nerd. The only thing wrong with it was it didn't have a power cord, and that was easily replaced.
Charlie's been living with her stepdad, and apparently his girlfriend has been taking all the fool's cash (yea, I've been in his position before) and their electricity was shut off. I drove uptown to pick her up. She got in the car carrying a bag of DVDs.
"I've got pot and beer," I told her. "Cool", she said, "I haven't smoked a joint in two weeks, been trying to get the money to pay the damned electric company."
The first movie was a cartoon, which was especially funny with the pot. The second movie was Selena, and by the end of the movie Charlie was cuddled up in my arms. I was glad that stupid Tammy called our date off! Charlie's younger, shorter, and lots more cuddly than Tammy anyway, and Tammy's too frail after just having her gall bladder removed.
Fuck Tammy. Charlie and I ate some of the Tammy lasagna and I put a roast and potatos on, and we ate that and some veggies later. By the fourth movie we were drunk and stoned and full of food and her blouse was up and her bra was undone with those pretty titties hangging out and I was giving her a backrub. She fell asleep.
I pulled her blouse back down, covered her up with a blanket, and went to bed.
It was freezing cold when I got up. I turned the furnace on, put on a robe, started coffee and woke Charlie up. "Here, hook my bra back up before you pour that" she said. We drank a few cups and I took her home on my way to work.
It was a lovely weekend. Fuck Tammy. Who needs her, anyway?
Firefox (Score:2)
The only bit I'm qualified to comment on... :-)
If you installed firefox by going and downloading it, you'll have to go thru the menu editor (right click on the K icon) to get it in there.
If, however, you went to the menu and clicked on the "Firefox Installer" icon under "Internet", it should pop right in place.
Finally, the manual way of opening a shell and doing "apt-get install firefox" should also put the icon in the menu.

I don't know how Ubuntu does it for KDE, but most of Debian's window manager packages can create a default app menu using the "menu" package http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/ [debian.org]
That developers manual not only tells package managers how to Do It Right, it also talks about how end users can update their menus (by putting files in ~/.menu/ ) as well ;)

Man, ten zillion pages of documentation and I have to find out from somebody at slashdot that a right click opens the menu editor! The editor's mentioned a zillion times but nowhere does it say how to open it. Thanks! Firefox is on the menu now.
