Damn! Was it ever the day for complaining! New boss dosent' seem to be getting the hang of things as well as I would have hoped. It's really kind of a no-brainer right, that you have to actually have staff to do things when you're trying to run a business, yeah? Yeah. Then why in hell would you cut the number of hours worked, but hire more people so that EVERYONE gets fewer hours. I don't get it guys... Makes no logical sense whatsoever! That and just stupid little things that make me realize that my favourite Philosophy prof is right! Management students are the scum of the universe! Lots of Union type things are coming out lately so I'm geting a little stressed out with all of it. I just want to be able to sort everything out without having to file any paperwork. It can be done, but it'll be a lot of talking on my part. *sigh* But I talk a lot, so I can do it! Yesssss...
Eehhhh.. looking forward to a free Saturday! With no rain preferably! It poured all day Friday too... So maybe I'll spend a little time reworking the site. Looks like randomocity is the new "theme" so we'll see what happens with that, eh? Yes... Yes we will... Happy weekend to all! Comments (9) |

"But if I can't swim after forty days/
And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves/
Life me up so high that I cannot fall/
Lift me up/
Lift me up - When I'm falling/
Life me up - I'm weak and I'm dying/
Lift me up - I need you to hold me/
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again..." -Jars Of Clay (Flood)
Well, a little rainshower has turned into a torrential storm. It rained ALL DAY! It paused just long enough for me to think it was okay to go walk the dog. Yeah, it wasn't. I made it all the way to the other end of the lake and it's like nature just went "Haha! You suck!" and opened up on me! *eye roll* How rude.
Anywho, I'm thinking about messing with this site again. I love my Gundam stuff to bits, and I sooo love the music, but I think it might be time for a change. And if it is, what then should be the new theme? Maybe something non-anime for a bit. Or should I just go all out random. For randomnimity is the essence of 'me'... Or something like that...
Oooh oohh, and I almost forgot! Someone has gone through my art and voted them all up. I am so thankful to whoever it was that did it. I get a little down when people say they don't like it but don't give me a reason why. But a vote up makes my day! Thank-you thank-you! Cookies to all!! Comments (8) |

"All those places I got found/
All that noise, and all that sound/
And birds go flying at the speed of sound/
to show you how it all began/
Birds came flying from the underground/
if you could see it then you'd understand?..." -Coldplay (Speed of Sound)
I just want the spiders to leave me alone! Right before I sat down to type, there was one crawling around on the wall so I had a little freak-out before dealing with that. There was one in the shower this morning, but that's just where I like to find them if I have to at all, since I can just turn the water on and then away it goes. And worst of all I had a bad dream last night. Yep, you guessed it, about spiders. Crawling out of places and I couldn't do anything to stop them! *shudder* When I woke up, my skin was crawling. Rather uncomfortable...
It's been raining all day here. We had a little bit of thunder earlier, but not enough by my standards. I like it. I guess there's plenty more of summer for that though....
"I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip/
I don't wanna feel the emptiness/
Old marquees with stupid band names/
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip..." -Cake (Sheep Go To Heaven)
Awwww... It was sad today! As I was on my way home from work, I noticed my neighbor from down the street in the middle of the road, trying to coax a cat out from underneath a truck. I thought 'hm. that's odd' and pulled into my driveway, and stared talking to my sister who had also just gotten home. A few minutes later he came up the drive with the cat in his arms and asked if we knew whose cat it was, and we said 'yeah it's these guys right here' pointing at the house next door. As it turns out, the poor kitty was the victim of a little hit and run! Wahhh! She's still alive (hurray!) but will need a trip to the vet in the morning. This is the same psychotic cat who taunts my dog and attacks me when I'm doing yardwork. Apparantly she's a bit of a thrill-seeker as she is occasionally seen dodging cars just for fun. Hopefully she'll be fine.
On a happier note... Pauly Shore marathon on Saturday! A couple of friends and I have decided we're going to go for Encino Man, since it also has Sean Astin (my favourite!) and Brendan Fraser(and have microwave burritos and slushies. heheh!) Bio-Dome, and if we can find it, a little something called The Bogus Witch Project. That last one is a spoof on the Blair Witch Project and is just stupid. We really only enjoyed it for the bit where Pauly is zipped up the tent, and goes jumping around insanely. Best thirty seconds of the whole film, right there. It's the kind of thing you have to rewind and watch again a couple of times, just because it's so funny. Like the part in the movie Elf, where they're trying to get the star on top of the tree... well, you know what I mean, right? Yeah. Anywho, I never did remember what it was I was going to tell you guys yesterday, soooo... That'll learn me to start writing the good stuff down! (ehhh, probably not!)
Soooo... Cocolate Dipped strawberries = delicious! My sister made 'em because she and the boyfriend decided to go on a picnic in the park. They were going for fancy, so she made a bunch of those and they took a bottle of wine and apparantly got pretty plastered. Haha! I was at work during all of this, so I just heard the story. Pretty funny if i do say.
So anyways, I had something else to say but I can't remember what it was! Meh, I'll probably remember later when it's too late to do anything about it. Clearly it can't have been that important if I don't remember it, so whatever! I am getting a little frustrated typing this. I'm using the Smackintosh since the PC is in use and it's going super slow. If I type too fast the letters don't all register and I end up with something like... This is me typin gtegular sedon a crappy mac compiuter. Isti lovely n't believe I' doing this!
Just another Sunday. Worked it away. Nothing terribly interesting happened, other than when I unexpectedly burst out laughing due to a random memory of a conversation last night about "where does the pilot sit". Don't ask, long story, you don't even wanna know... I don't think I even wanted to know. Haha!
So, it was an uneventful weekend entirely. Other than the fact that the fridge bit it, I essentially got called a Maytag repairgirl and dealt with 'you know who'... Hmmm.... I guess I'll have to make my own fun this week. Now that I'm in a much better mood (nobody worry! I'm not sad or depressed!) I'll have to find something fun to do that won't get me in trouble or fired. Heheheh! First I think I'll finish that book I started out by the pond the other day... Then maybe I'll take up... I dunno... somebody find me a hobby before I start thinking again! Aaahhhh!!
A very happy birthday today to Miss Usagi Sohma! She's 20 today, so everybody go wish her a good one!! Comments (12) |

Mmmmmm.... Ryan Reynolds.... Uh, oh, hello! Just doing some thinking, and not the bad kind either! So, it's Saturday as I'm typing this up and I've been at work all day. I was irritated this morning, which quickly progressed to just plain confused, then to irritated again, but I left in a pretty good mood, so I suppose it was all worth it.
Anyhow, I was initially irritated because of some crap that's going on, (but I'd rather not talk about that other than to the person it's going on WITH) and confused because one of my regualar customers this morning compared me to a Maytag repairwoman. Ya know, the major appliance brand? Is that a Canadian thing, or no? (?!?!?) How do you react to that? I was like "Les, what are you talkin' about?" and he says, "You're sittin' here all alone like the guy in the commercial. Aren't you lonely?" Oooohhhh, I was worried that I LOOKED like a Maytag guy! I'd like to think I'm prettier than that! Hahah! And then I was irritated because I quickly learned that I would be working with annoying girl today. *sigh* But it got busy, so I didn't have to talk to her, heheh.
And isn't it ironic that when I got home I discovered that the upstairs fridge is on the fritz? Yeah, my family had to move everything to the downstairs fridge. Aaaahhhh!! That means family members in MY space! I don't know if I can take it! Deep breath in.....deep breath out.... I hope you guys are having a super weekend! Congrats to anyone graduating this year! It seems to be the weekend for that!
Okay, then. I just got my tax return back yesterday. Disapponted. Big time. It was half of what I was expecting! Half!! They said some crap about how they recalculated my tuition credits and blah and so forth. They do that every year, so it's all fine and good, but damn. Half?! Ugh.. So next year I think I'm just going to stick all my blank forms in the envelope with all my numbers and junk and a little note saying something along the lines of, 'Since I can never seem do this right, here! YOU can have the first crack at it!' Stupid Canada Revenue Agency... *sigh*
Anyhow, another gorgeous day. I spent some time reading outside, by the pond. (my Dad and I built it two summers ago) I enjoy the sound of the waterfall. Much nicer than the traffic out front. And on my way home from downtown, I made the mistake of stopping at the bookstore to see what was new. I came back home minus about sixty bucks. Whoops. But it was worth it I think. I like books. Sooo... what do you guys all like to read? Favourite book or author? I really like Kurt Vonnegut. So funny. Highly reccomend 'Slaughterhouse Five'. Really good! Happy weekend to all! Comments (9) |

It's a gorgeous Thursday night as I'm typing this. There's no wind (for once) and not a cloud in the sky. I'm thinking pretty hard about climbing out on the roof later. I can't remember the last time I even bothered to look up at the sky...
But the good news is, that I am in a much better mood than I have been the last while. But then some of my friends are upset lately, which threatens to bring me back down (hasn't beaten me yet though), because I can't always do anything to help them. And we all know that helpless feeling... *sigh* Especially when they disappear, or refuse to talk to me. Maybe I should take a hint, eh? I dunno, I'm snoopy because I care, dammit! So deal with it!
So on that note....
Raven, I luvs ya and I'm so glad you stop by so often. Your comments really mean a lot to me!
Sita, everything will be alright. I'm around if ya need anything, day or night, just lemme know!
Aaaannd Winn..... DUDE GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! Hahahah! (no really, I mean it.. we're too much alike, it's starting to creep me out a little ^_~) I will make you a deal, you don't read my mind, and I won't read yours...
Trying out a little something new here with the lyric-y type box. Lemme know what you think!
Anyways, I didn't have to be at work today, so I was pretty idle all day long. I think I need a new hobby. When I'm idle, that is when I tend to think about too many things, and some of those memories are what make me sad. So I think (yeah, there's that word again...) that I will content myself with being the happy idiot for a little while and NOT think. *smile* Well, that and the other night, Heero just flat out told me to smile. So I did, and I actually felt better and a stupid fake smile turned into a real one. Can you believe it? Um, yeah, neither do I.
Looking out the window right now, I'm seeing lightning. That's good. I like thunderstorms. I hope it comes this way. It always smells good, and I like to sit outside and listen to it. And it somehow seems appropriate for what day it is... Comments (14) |
