			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Strange.  I thought it would smell and feel more like leather.  I thought there&#8217;d be ceiling supports and eye hooks.  I was hoping it would be erotic and memorable.  Instead, it&#8217;s much more cloth-like and blue.  There is some velcro, it&#8217;s binding and uncomfortable, and it&#8217;s definitely painful.  </p>
<p>Yup, your macboyX is walking around with his ARM in a SLING.  In a sling!  Grrr.  It&#8217;s so frustrating to not be able to use one of your arms/hands.  I mean thank goodness it&#8217;s my RIGHT arm and not my LEFT.  I&#8217;m left handed in many tasks including, Writing, Eating and well yes THAT!  But I&#8217;m right handed in just about everything else.  I lead with my right in most of my daily tasks, so I&#8217;m suffering.</p>
<p>Long story short, there is one less squished kitty cat in my house and due to that fact, there is one kitty cat owner with a separated shoulder.  They told me if I just had put BOTH hands down instead of just my right (see I told you I lead with it!) my weight (which also was pointed out) could have been spread over both joints instead of the one.</p>
<p>So here I am, arm held tight to my body, sore and immobile.  Wishing like hell  it wasn&#8217;t.  It&#8217;s only for a week, or two (I surely hope the former), so it&#8217;s not so bad.  In fact the worst part of it is the looks you get.  People who WANT to ask what happened.  And then there are the ones who CAN ask and DO.  It&#8217;s such a stupid story, I should have made up something dirty, sexual or just funny.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;I forgot the safety word when my boyfriend got too randy with the Cat-O-Nines&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh this? Untreated Syphilis&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, he&#8217;s really a good man, he just has a bad temper.  He promised to take me on a nice trip when the sling comes off&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I was doing a back handspring into a running round out&#8230; then whoops&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh my arm fell off.  The super glue is still drying.</i></p>
<p>Thanks to Pinoyboy for cracking most of those lines over the past 24 hours trying to cheer me up.   Oh well it could be worse.  In the grand scheme of injuries I&#8217;ve sustained.  This one is definitely not so bad.  And the boyfriend is helping lots.  Last nite he cut my food at the table and slept behind me so I couldn&#8217;t rollover</p>

He was delivered at 8:24pm and weighed in at 7lbs 9oz.  We spent most of the weekend with my sister, her husband, the new baby and my family.  I&#8217;m so excited to be an uncle!  I&#8217;m exhausted and going to bed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yet another saga of IT.</p>
<p>Now&#8230; I love IT.  I did some research today and found out that IT just needed some love.  Some coddling, some setup and some new cables.  What is it?  Well wonder no more&#8230;</p>
<p>IT is a 30&#8243; LCD HDTV&#8230;</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.macboyx.com/photos/blog/it.jpg" alt="inFocus TD30"/><br />our new inFocus TD30<br /><img src="http://www.macboyx.com/photos/blog/itfront.jpg" alt="Front View"/><br />Front View<br /><img src="http://www.macboyx.com/photos/blog/itback.jpg" alt="Back View"/><br />Back View</div>
<p>So what&#8217;s with the change of heart?  Well some info was found, given by some friends that helped.  Garbage in, garbage out is what they say and it&#8217;s true.  The TiVo looked like crap until S-Video, the DVD looked OKAY&#8230;until Component cables and some setting changes (who knew you had to tell the DVD player to be Progressive?  Or to be 16&#215;9?  Well not me.)</p>
<p>However there is of course some bad news.  Since we live in bum-fuck-nowhere, we can&#8217;t get HDTV yet.  We can&#8217;t even get Digital Cable.  They&#8217;ve been promising that for 2 years.  Every time we call, it&#8217;s six more months&#8230;oy.  They claim another month or so&#8230; keep your fingers crossed.</p>
<p>So, in the end IT was a good thing.  Not being able to return IT wasn&#8217;t so bad.  And if you get an HDTV, do your research on setting it up!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to watch IT <img src='http://www.macboyx.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

I can&#8217;t say what IT is, not yet.
I can&#8217;t wait to play with IT.
If I am allowed, I will post some pictures of IT. 
If you know what IT is, you know why I am excited, if you don&#8217;t, well that&#8217;s a shame
