Beware, for I am: Cynical

Update, update, update ti~ime! Ok So...the big week before Mecha Con, and what does MM do? She spends money...that she hasn’t actually made yet...=_= oi...Ok, so I had enough money in my bank, ok. It was all there. And then I realized...I was board out of my skull with nothing to watch. So I meandered over to Amazon and took a gander at my Movie wish list. I found four movies that were really cheap. Added together, they came to about $34 bucks (maybe a little over, what with taxes and shipping and what-not). Then, today, I happened to receive the Painted Ponies news letter. I went on over to take a gander at my favorite horse, Epic. Now, you really must understand; I promised myself when I saw this figurine that I’d buy him to go in my Zen-style, Japanese-ish room. So, I’ve always been kinda watching it. But...well I’ve been a little out of touch lately. I noticed his status was 'Retired' which meant if I didn’t buy soon, I might not be able to. ----_________---- I’m sure you see how that went. So, I’ve got about $40 in my bank now (according to my checkbook, although a check hasn’t gone through and that means I’ve got well over $300 according to the bank – God bless internet banking). But I do get paid Friday, so I’m not too worried. Still...probably coulda planned that a bit better. Oh well. What, with all the over-time and extra work I did these past two weeks, I shouldn’t be hurting Friday...when did I turn into a drama queen? Dear God, I must go take a pill or something...

Allrighty...so other stuff that’s goin’ on. Well, I moved up to full time officially. I have to be at work at 10 tomorrow and I work till five with a 30 minute break in-between there somewhere. That’s about all that’s really going on at work. Today I had lunch with Mom and Dad at Chick-Fil-A. Didn’t enjoy the food, but I really haven’t gone there a lot, so I didn’t know what to get. But I’ve got to try their cheesecakes some time. Maybe I’ll get like a whole bunch and bring them home for Mom and me sometime. Dad’s not a cheesecake type of guy. But anyway…about work...I’ve logged 154 charts so far this week, and it’s only been the first two days. Yesterday we got 118 in and that took all my time a-doin’. Today we only got 36 so I finished that up and made copies of the invoiced charts that Nicole was through with. Pretty long day. Oh, but I stopped by Dairy Queen (*angels singing*) and got a Hazelnut Moolate. /sighs oh, sinful rapture. I think I’ve decided that’s my favorite. Sure Moca is good, but Hazelnut is my fav fav. ………..I need to get a coaster. Something cool for when I have a drink or something at work...that’ll be cool. Yeah. A coaster...hmmm…where can I find a plethora of cool coasters?

Mom, Dad and I had a family night tonight and watched Hook. Mom’s been feeling bad lately and bored out of her skull. She’s been asking if I have any good movies we could watch and I say, ‘only the ones we’ve already seen’. So I said something about watching Hook and she was like, ‘isn’t that a bit immature?’ Then she realized that she had no idea what Hook was. She says she’s never seen it, but I’m betting that she has, she just doesn’t remember it. It’s an older movie after all. So we watched that and laughed. It was good.

Oh! This morning, I pulled out of my driveway and I was driving up the street, and what do I see but these three feathered butts! It was so cute! These three little ducks were just walking up the street. So I slowed down and they stopped! They were looking at my like “OK..why’s she stopping O.O!!!” and I’m like, “Kawaii ^.^ !!!!!!” So! I whipped out my cell phone and took a picture and made that my new wallpaper for my cell phone...too bad I can’t figure out how to get those pictures on the computer huh? Oh well...

I guess that’s all. Mom and Dad couldn’t find my shampoo at the store today...guess that means that Thursday after work I’ll be swinging by Wal-Mart for that too. What else do I need to remember? ...Oh yes! Must bring more candy to work tomorrow. Nicole came over the weekend with her two girls, and they kinda raided my candy bowl =.=’ Can’t say I’d’a done any different if I were a kid. Oh well. I’ve got plenty of Kisses (Hershey’s, that is) in the fridge. So that’s taken care of. Guess that’s all so far. Goodnight everyone!

Beware, for I am: Content

Oh thank the Lord! It rained! I was so happy when I heard the thunder in the distance. It finally rained, and by rained I mean poured! It hasn’t rained like that since...well, Rita. I mean, sure we had that last rain that I got so excited about, but it was only a short thunderstorm with moderate drizzles. This was rain! I bet the ducks are so happy too.

We saw the ducks today too! Oh wait. I’m getting ahead of myself. Ok, so today!

Woke up early because I’d forgotten the phone n my room, and I was groggy all day long until after my interview. I made Reiko a shirt that says in moderately sized words “Hi, I’m LostCause, and I’m a...” and then below that in huge lettering “HENTAI”. Reiko did drop by around 1ish to check her MySpace, so I gave it to her then and she loved it and though it was “so frikkin’ awesome!”

Got guzzied up and went to the interview and it went really well. Most interviews run about 5 minutes long, but this one was about 20 minutes, which means we talked a lot, and a lot of conversation usually means they’re more likely to remember you. Unfortunately, they’re in the process of moving, so I won’t know anything till about two weeks. Then once they move, they’re keeping the resumes that stood out and another manager will go over them and hire for other positions. But that’d be much much later. So, at least this one went well. She was surprise to hear about why the Insurance place let me go. She said it seemed to her like someone was scamming them, and they just took advantage of me, which is exactly what happened. But /shrug whatever right?

Oh, we went to Wendy’s and got one of those new sandwiches they’ve been advertising. Mom and I both got the Roasted Turkey & Basil Pesto Frescata sandwich. She didn’t like her, so I ended up eating mine and then half of hers. So it’s a good thing I liked them. I then rewatched Children of Dune just to hear watch Jessica all over again. I love her in the second one so much more than in the first. In the first one she seemed like a desperate scam artist, but in this one she’s fully aware of the things that need to be done and she always seems confident that she can do them.

Now. The birds. My mother and I have made it no secret concerning our love for the avian creatures of this world. We have three humming bird feeders that we clean out every Tuesday (otherwise they’ll be overwhelmingly grimy, and I wouldn’t want to drink out of them so why should I let a humming bird do so?), we have two bird houses (one bird apartment for Vern and Shirley, and a mini-condo that is still unoccupied because Dad didn’t really secure it the right way -_-), and there’s always the ducks. That’s right, the ducks are back. They come and they go as they please, but it always makes me happier when they wander into our yard. They meandered near our back patio when Mom was collecting the hose after watering everything. At this point whenever we see the ducks and they’re actually that close, we’ve gotten into a ritual of taking one of our biggest garbage can lids, hosing it off till it’s moderately clean, and then filling it up with water and leaving it out. All five ducks then proceed to go over to the water-filled-trash-can-lid and drink from it, after they are all done drinking, they’ll begin to preen, and sometimes, they’ll waddle into the tub and splash about. I have named the ducks and thus far no one seems to be able to tell anyone but Low-rider apart from the rest...except me. In order from most-liked to least-liked there’s Low-Rider, Jibber, Jabber, Ponder, and Mussolini (he’s always chasing the other’s around threateningly, and then waddles back as if he’s forgotten why). So, today we saw all three of the variety of birds that we usually see. The flying birds, the waddling birds and the hovering birds. Pretty damn good day.

Oh, wasn’t Gilmore Girls good today? I mean, the way Rory handled Mitch! That was so classic. And to think he once told her she wasn’t aggressive so she’d never make it in a news room. And then the whole April birthday thing! Oh, I felt so bad. One step forward and two steps back. I cannot wait to see the next one...it’s so cruel of them to make us wait a week. Can’t they have these things Biweekly or something? That’d be cool...Not too much and not too little.

Oh well. Sleep meds are kicking in and I told Mom I’d start getting up early so that we could start walking again. Goodnight all.
