Chris: Hello?

Kacey: Hey, it's Kacey, what's up?

Chris: [voice instantly becomes much higher pitched] Hi, Kace! You got out, you got out, you got home early?

Kacey: Yeah, I did. Actually I did we were really slow, so I got to get out early.

Chris: Well that's good. How are you?

Kacey: Uh, just a little tired. I kinda rushed through my ending [?] work.

Chris: Aw. OK. Well I'm OK, I had, I had a better days, you know. Little bit, little bit more peaceful. Uh, I uh, skimmed through my email, but it's not like I really checked my email, um…

Kacey: Mmhm?

Chris: [talking really quickly and stuttering] I mean, I mean, you know, I kinda asked you and Kim, if you know, concerned about like, you know, concerned about, concerned about, you know… Uh, like you know I blanked out and was really distant, you know, like you know, it was, it was just normal stress. But, you know I, I replied and uh, told her to know that my appreciation for her concern but it, you know, was just normal stress and it stress just me to blank out and all that. Yeah, I'm going to talk my doc-, I'm going to talk to my doctor about uh, you know my stress and uh, all that you know, all that she between you, me, she, we three talked about it.

Kacey: [probably understood very little] OK.

Chris: Oh, actually I also uh, just remember uh, Kim told me a little bit about, th-, about the metabolism and uh, what that was. And, uh, you know, she just I talked you know. Maybe you could inform me more about it?

Kacey: You, you didn't know what a metabolism was?

Chris: Yeah, not really until I said, but then she described it in a nutshell as like uh, the uh, speed o-, the speed of digestion.

Kacey: Um, yeah, I mean I guess that's good for layman's terms, yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Mmkay. What else do you know about it?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [slightly over Chris's question] It's an extremely complicated process that goes down to the cellular level and I'm not sure you're ready for that.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: It's OK. So… Tell me more about it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, OK, just what you need to know is metabolism is basically just what she told you. It's how fast your body takes in things, like glucose and fats and all sorts of chemicals and uses them up or stores them. If you have a fast metabolism you're going to use it al-, a lot closer, or a lot sooner, sorry.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [weakly] Mmkay.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean I bet you don't even know what glucose is.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, glucose is a type of fat.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: No, uh glucose is what sugar breaks down into.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh. OK.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Adipose tissue is fat.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uh, I'm sorry, what kind of tissue is fat?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Adipose.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Adipose?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yes. Adipose. It, it means fat.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Huh… [Kacey talks over him] Adipose is fat.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, you know like, break down, like, sodium. Uh, do you know what sodium is?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, sodium's like salt.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Okay, at least you know what that is.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [weakly] Mmkay.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uh, 'cause things like calcium and potassium and sodium are extremely important to how your cells work.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Okay. Cap-, calcium and potassium and sodium. Yeah, I've heard that uh, yeah, one needs to have a good little bit of potassium and fortunately there is potassium in bananas and peanuts.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right, but you don't want too much of neither sodium or, um potassium, because then your homeostasis will be put off. Do you know what homeostasis is?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, yeah that's a new one on me. [pronouncing it incorrectly] Homeostasius.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Homeostasis. It means the balance your body is in for th-, to be working at optimal levels.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh. The balance for my body to be working at optimal levels. OK.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, I mean, like I said it's huge 'cause then you have to get into positive feedback and negative feedback, you have to get into sol-, uh, cellular levels and it's just… It- it- it's a lot.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. It does sound like a lot. [long pause] So please continue.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uhh, well what do you want to know about? Ask some questions, cause I don't know what wa- wo- would be too deep. I mean what do you want to know about metabolism?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm... OK well yeah, I understand that th-, sleep slows metabolism and that uh, it's a bad idea to eat before you go to asleep. Because uh, then it just, th-, then the sweetness sw-, the uh, digestion get slows down and then that's uh, one way the body and one wa-, and one wa-, one way that fat builds up.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well technically um, you actually burn a lot of calories when you're sleeping. But yeah if you eat just before then umm, basically it depends on when you're eating. um, Because that's going to get your metabolism, no you probably shouldn't when you're not active. But the thing is that's also for people who usually eat only three times a day, if you eat five to six little meals and two snacks today you're pretty much OK. Because then your body's constantly eating-- like if you only eat once a day which is really bad, your body goes into starvation mode even though you're not starving yourself and it holds onto everything it can, especially fat.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm, mmkay. Yeah, well fortunately I like uhh, I eat-, som-, yeah, I like eat two or three meals in a day. [pause] Or uhh, like you know maybe, or like, you know maybe two uhh, or maybe two and uh, a small one or yeah like maybe a-, maybe one big meal and two little ones, something like that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well it also depends on the portions you eat, like if you were eating multiple portions and a meal, you're not helping yourself at all, you're actually hurting your metabolism.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I mostly eat, I mostly eat a single portion.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, I think we already discussed that you don't really know what portion sizes are. Like OK, OK like, umm, a, [thinks] what do you usually get when you go to McDonald's? Or Burger King? Anywhere, what sandwich do you usually get?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, well lately I've been ahh, lately I've been eating ahh, the ahh, "size sar" [salad?] when I been going to McDonald's or Burger King.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [interrupts] OK, woah woah OK, you use to get grilled chicken sandwiches right?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Um, yeah I did get a grilled chicken sandwich [<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: "OK."] or sometimes, or some-, or sometimes I'll have like a double cheeseburger.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK well lets go through the double cheeseburger, how many servings of bread and meat do you think that is?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm... [thinks] yeah, it would be stupid of me to say, one of each right? [chuckles]

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [humorous tone] It would be amazingly stupid.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I dunno maybe probably like, I dunno like, two or three?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well yeah, it's like two and a half for bread and if you have, let's say each patty is... we'll go ahead and say nine ounces each that is, [<font color="#0033FF">Chris: "Is that how much?"] that's almost six servings of meat right there.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm, six servings are nine ounces?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, 'cause it's anywhere from three to four ounces. So think about that, you're eating all the meat you should eat, in one burger.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [pause] OK.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: And it's not even lean.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [pause] Hmm.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I know it's scary right?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: No! No, it n-, it's not scary, just surprising.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [typing] Well I mean, you can go to your doctor and get tests for your metabolism to see where it is.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [stutters as he lies] Yeah I, yeah I'll, yeah, I think it's OK but yeah I'll check with my doctor next time, sure they can, I'm sure that's, that's, that's in the bloodwork [pronounced "budwork"]. [long pause] Well at least my cholesterol is OK.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [laughs] Well how do I know that? You're on cholesterol um, medicine! I mean that's not good! That's not good at all! That means it not OK! [chuckles] 'Cause even if it is helping out with your homeostasis, that means you can't do it on your own.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm, yeah well, yeah, like I said before-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I- I mean it's my opinion that your metabolism is probably pretty bad right now, I mean mine is too! So I mean you should probably get it looked into.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah OK. Yeah, after talking about it right now yeah, I'll definitely get my metabolism checked out. [long pause] Yeah I'll, yeah I'll talk to my doctor after I see him in November.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well you should probably get that done now, I mean this is important you shouldn't wait till November.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Like me, in about a week, I'm getting all these test done you know, so I can see what I can improve my metabolism right, and I'm going on a diet plan and everything.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah well you see the thing is you know, um, my family has informed me like you know, if I schedule an appointment with my doctor it has to be like you know, ahh, I dunno, like an aliment or something because you know, our insur- our insurance.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [loudly interrupts] Chris this is an aliment! This is extremely an aliment! Obesity is counted as a disease! I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, or I don't like fat people or anything, but this is important! Don't you care about your health? And plus you're on Medicaid!

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Um yeah, yeah OK, well, yeah, well I'll check with my family about that, and uhh, I'll see if I can't get an appointment to get my metabolism checked out.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK, do you really need your family to tell you if it's OK for you to care about your body?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [slightly angry tone] Uhh, no I do not need my family to tell me if it's OK to worry about my body or not. But I uhh, I just have to make sure that like, you know, insurance would cover a metabolism check up.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well your family's not going to know that, you're going to have to call the insurance company or your going to have to call the doctor, and even if you don't get your metabolism checked, it's a good idea to go to your doctor and have an appointment and say, "Look, I really think I'm unhealthy, I want to get healthy again," and you should do that first. Because he's going to tell you whether he wants to check your metabolism or not, you may not even have to.[<font color="#0033FF">Chris: "Hmm."] Your doctor would probably be thrilled.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [almost humoring tone] M'kay yeah, [pause] yeah sounds good [pause] yeah well I get- yeah, I get uhh, I wanna get healthy yeah, uhmm hmm, what do you mean whe-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [interrupts] Well you need to be serious about this and vigilant.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean how healthy do you think you are right now?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: How well do I think I am right now?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, how healthy do you think you are right now?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, how healthy do I think I am right now? Umm, yeah I can't really say for certain, but I mean I feel OK. Uhh, but at least I'm exercising more and uh, I think my, I think my belly went in a little bit.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, it's not going to happen that quickly um, unless you're killing yourself, but anyway, or taking steroids, but umm, so did you exercise today? How long did you jog?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm, yeah I power walked-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: 'Cause you said you were going to jog more right?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah I'm getting into the, I'm getting to the jogging, I just haven't gotten to the uhh, I walked, I walked, I uhh, I walked my almost two miles, around the neighborhood I'm not sure, it's almost, it's about two miles, the route I take you know, around my neighborhood. Including my heartbeat-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well how do you know it's two miles? [<font color="#0033FF">Chris: "Yeah, I previously-"][interrupts] did you have a- uhm?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I previously measured it with my car.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I don't know how you would measure with your car. Maybe you should get uh, one of those step monitors, that would help, most phones actually have them on there, umm or they have speed watches.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uhh, yeah, my phone is a Motorola W315 so I'm pretty, and plus, aside, and plus, I don't see it on there, so I'm pretty sure its not on there.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well it'll be an application or something, a lot of phones do. But either way you gotta start jogging, walking's not going to help you, I told you, you know, it's NOT going to help you at all, and if you can't even jog, then you're seriously out of shape.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [pause] Hmm, yeah, well I mean I could jog if I knew the running speed that jogging- if I knew the appropriate speed that is, I mean I know it's somewhere between walking and running.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: No it's, you have to get your heart rate up, you have to go online. The are calculators that you can use that will check what your heart rate needs to be for your weight and your height, and then what-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: -do is you, you take your two fingers err, your umm, your pointer finger and your, the two ones by your thumb and you put them on your pulse in your neck and you count the beats per minute and that's your heart rate.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I, I've learned that before yeah, the uhh measuring heart rate, before you called.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well then you definitely, definitely, need to do it.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [pause] OK. [longer pause]

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: So anything else on your mind? You know like both metabolism or any science stuff?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uhhh, I think it's pretty much, I think it's pretty much it for me there, on that. Arrum, OK let me tell you about my day a little bit umm, yeah I had my oat-, I had my oatmeal as usual at first, and then I, and then I went out with my father, you know, just to keep him company. Uhh, he c-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Um, real quick, what type of oatmeal do you have?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah currently it's the Food Lion-brand oatmeal.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well I mean is it flavored? Or is it instant? Or is it the actual oats?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uhh, I would say it's uhh, flavored instant.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well you know how much sugar's in there right? I mean if you're gonna eat oatmeal you may as well eat real oatmeal or like some sort of granola. Cause that stuff can be just as bad, especially in the mornings.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm OK well, if that's the case then, OK well how much sugar should be in the uhh, oatmeal that I shouldn't eat, overeat on or if ca-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: The shouldn't be any sugar in it, it's oatmeal! I mean if you want to add a little bit of brown sugar cinnamon, that would be good, but that's better than white sugar.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, yeah OK, the brown sugar is better then white sugar, hang on, I'm going to go check the oatmeal to see if there's any sugar in it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah definitely!

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, yeah hang on a second here, [music in the background] hmm let's see errm... oh, OK yeah the, okay yeah, the is, does seem to be sugar in this oatmeal.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, I bet it's way over eight grams isn't it? and I bet you eat more than one serving.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Err no, I eat like one packet umm, let me have a check here umm... yeah I'm looking at the nutrition facts oh, here we are, it's not like uhh, about an of average eleven grams, between the four flavors.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, you want to get down to at minimum about four grams, and even that's pushing it. Just you shou-, what you should do is if you have those nutritional labels you should add up the percentages every day umm, to see umm, if you're going over a hundred percent of course. Plus if you want to lose wight your going to have to gradually decrease your calorie intake.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [door can be heard] Yeah, I think I'm working on that you know, uhh, I'm ma-, I'm making more healthy choices, you know, I'm eating, I'm eating more fruits and vegetables.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well like I said remember, some fruits and vegetables can be bad for you. Depending on how your metabolism and how you have to lose weight, like with my diet, for the first month I can't have fruits vegetables or anything with carbs. Because these to many carbs in fruits and vegetables, like apples, you wouldn't think it, there in there.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Huh, there's carbs in apples?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah in the skin, it's got fiber.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Huh, and they always say a doctor a day, a apple a day is good for you and keeps the doctor away.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [laughs] Yeah, I mean it's good in moderation, but when you're starting off, you really need to shock your body so it starts using other fuels and in that way at least you can catch up and go to normal [pause] it's not good to stay on it for ever mind you, but [<font color="#0033FF">Chris: "Hmm-hmm."] you should really talk to your doctor about this. But umm, go ahead and tell me about your day.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uhh, yeah OK, so anyway I went out with my father with uhh, he went, he went out car battery shopping. Cause we need to get our cars inspected in uhh, next month. Including the uhh, incl-, inc-, you know we have twelve, four cars and uhh, one of them is a BMW. It's pretty much suffering the same fate as the Jaguar we use to have, that was supposed to be my mother's car but she's not finding herself driving as much these days. So, yeah so, it's like you know, it was pretty much, pretty much, when I was shopping for an inexpensive battery for that car, for that BMW, and then I-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: So basically she just not using it so the battery keeps dying?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well yeah that sucks, you have to use cars. I mean if you're not using it why don't you guys sell it? if she obviously doesn't needs [sounds like "eat"] it.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah Yeah, my father's been [complaining?] that as well. It's like my mom, my mom does not want to do that. I mean it's her car and I-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah but I mean it's sucking up, it's sucking up insurance and it's a BMW, if she's not going to use it I mean, shit or get off the pot.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, w-, wait what was, what was that expression you just used?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Shit or get off the pot, it's pretty vulgar but it's funny.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Shit or get off the pot?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yes.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Huh, never heard that expression before.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah it's an old one.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean besides she might want to sell it now before it gets too, too old. I mean 'cause then you going to get like what? Three hundred dollars for it? And I mean, you know, it's not like it's a Camaro or a Trans Am or anything.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, well it is a stick shift model.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: See a lot of people don't want stick shifts unless they're collectors and they're going to want them now. Because you know, people are just lazy about stick shifts nowadays.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, yeah, my father knows that you know, it can be sold for like ten thousand dollars, and he would like to sell it. But you know, the car's under my mom's name, under my mom's name, it's sorta like you know, we can't do anything without her consent on that thing.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well I mean, if she's not going to use it, she's not going to use it. I mean that's, I mean can she even drive? Does she drive?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm, yes sometimes but when she drives it's mostly you know, either my car or dad's car or the van.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: She doesn't even want to use her car, why doesn't she sell it? That, that's not good.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well I don't know wha-, what goes in her head. I mean it's like, it's like she, it's she's been that way ever since, ever since she retired a few years ago.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, also, she's not running it, it could be rusting. I mean it could be worth nothing soon.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, tell me about it. Anyway, anyway, my father says, you know, it would be, it would be in condition, it's just the, it's just the battery that, that's having trouble, you know? Just the battery thing.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I know, but it starts there and then it goes to other things like the alternator and that's never good.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, yeah. Anyway, getting back to my day, uh, so yeah, I went out with my father who... I kept him company while he battery shopped, uh. Yeah, I also hang, I also hung out with him at, for lunch over at Chick-Fil-A. I had a coupon to get a free large fry with a purchase of a drink, but instead of fries I got a small fruit cup.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uh huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And I, and I had Sprite. Anyway, and uh, anyway, and uh, eventually...

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Have you ever thought of cutting out sodas?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I am thinking about that. I'm thinking on, like you know, about putting myself on one, but it's a slow process, you know? I mean I can't just go cold turkey on soda.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah you can, it's easy.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Not when you're, not when you're, not when one is a soda jerk. Or, to put it in a negative term, addicted to it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, do you get like caffeine headaches if you don't get soda?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah I wouldn't, I wouldn't know that. It's like, at this point I haven't even gone a day at least, at least, without at least one serving of it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well yeah, that does seem like a problem. You should probably switch to diet sodas and then to juice and then to water. 'Cause you really need, I mean just getting rid of it would be so much better.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. Yeah, well fortunately I got like three, unfortunately I had just gotten to the uh, [coughs] Excuse me. [coughs again] I have some, I have mucus in my throat. Well I could say I have a frog in throat, and he's using my tonsils for a lily pad.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [forced laugh]

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I got that joke from Red Skelton.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Nice.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Remember Red Skelton? He was a funny man.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, he uh, died a couple of years ago, right?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: No, he died like more than that. Uh, I think he like died during the, uh, ear... during the mid-1990's. I think it was like a heart problem or something. You could look it up.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Anyway, getting back to, anyway, getting back to the trip out, uh. We ended up also going over to Sears to check that, check out the prices there, but, you know, while he, while my father went to look at the prices, I went to look at the uh, look at the fitness workout DVDs and uh getting, and uh getting, getting the prices, finding the price matches[?] on there, so I can plan on getting, getting a workout DVD. Just like, you know, if I can't go walking, power walking or jogging, like, you know if it's raining or something. Uh, anyway, in the Sears I went looking there for the DVDs, couldn't find much in there but I did find, I searched where they had all the bunches of treadmills. I also found there, uh, there are bunches of, there are bunches of, there, uh, things for weight and the pedometers.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uh huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I looked into those a little bit, so I took, I took some notes there. And uh, then, I had my father wanted to go to Best Buy so, yeah, we went by Best Buy. I found some DVDs there. And I considered all of them.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uh huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I, uh, I even found a DVD set from Carmen Electra's striptease workout, something like that. <font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uh huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. Yeah, I mean it's a maybe, but I'm, but I'm not gonna, but it's not right off the bat. I mean it just kinda struck, it just, you know? Little bit funny, it's just the same... anyway. Anyway, right after I took the, after I got the, after I looked at the DVDs, I also took another look at the, uh, titles of some more appropriately choice DVDs out of the bunches I saw there. Uh, I also found, I also found, this, there's a display of real guitars there, not, so I, you know I just strummed on the, uh, on the six strings of the uh real one a few times and uh, you know just to listen to it?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: What did it sound like?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: You know, just the old, uh, twang, you know just [imitating guitar] TWANG, twang, twang, twang, twang.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: So I guess it didn't so very good, huh?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uh, no, it sounded good. I mean, it's just like, you know, my imitating it's just not as accurate as the real deal. Anyway, Kim and I have been talking about, you know, a little bit of me picking up real guitar and taking, and taking lessons. I'm talking, I might, I, I'll, I'll consider doing that after I get, after I get some more money in, you know? Save it up.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, you're going to have to work on those and you can't, like, not practice because you're stressed or something.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: It's a huge commitment.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yup. I hear that. Anyway, aside from that, we came home and I did the, uh, audio of the videobooks for, uh, book number one and then it got to night, starting uploading those. Hmm. Oh yeah, and I started, uh, work on the, uh first sex drawing last night. I decided to go ahead and do the, uh, foursome drawing first. But it's like, you know, almost done drawing-wise, so it's like, so it's like after I finish it up, I'll color it in. I didn't know how the, uh, other three, the other three drawings will do. You know, me with each of the girls.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well that's cool...

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: ...I look forward to them.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, anyway uh, that night also, I, uh, just, just after I started to blow up those videobooks I also created a section on the CWCipedia to put those videobooks on. It's like, basically, I figured, you know, it would be too much to put all the videobooks on the one page, so I created the one page with like, the first episode on it and then the, and then the list of the uh, each, of each book and then, you know, there's respective sets of videos under each book. So it's like, you know, four books you're gonna have the four videos for that, and then I'm gonna have the four videos for book one, on the book, on the book one video page, and then so, and then so on and so forth for each of the rest, each of the remaining books.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: That's cool.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. Yeah, also I, also I played a little bit of Guitar Hero, and then, and then I talked to Kim and now I'm talking to you.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well I hope you work on those drawings. Those will be interesting.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I am and I will finish them.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Good, 'cause you said you'd finish them a couple nights ago.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [laughs] Uhh, yeah, but then the emails happened and what not. I promise you they will be, they will be done within the next few, within the next few days. Or few nights.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Okay, well um, are you sending me, um, also, that, uh that stuff. You said you were sending me that stuff for uh, the PSN right?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, the photocopies of my receipts and the, uh, sho-, and the shots of the, uh, transactions from the PlayStation Network. Yeah, I'm, yeah I'm gonna do those. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. I'll, I'll send those out to you tomorrow, I promise.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, so anything new happen to, uh, to you today?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uh, no, not really. I took a couple tests and then I went to work, really boring stuff.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, um, anything else on your mind tonight?
