Ok. So got up at 9 watched Gilmore Girls as usual with breakfast and coffee. Laughed my head off. Went to the mall with Mom to walk/look at stuff. Just felt like getting out of the house, ya know? So we walked, and looked around and then we went to Subway for lunch. We went to Hancocks and got Thomas’s gift, or at least his gift from Mom & Dad. It’s a fleece LSU blanket to go with the LSU shorts and shirt I got him. This boy will be LSU set now.

We then went to Target to look around. I found out something. I do not want to use the water hyacinth or ice whatever for my room. I enjoy oriental art and such too much. So we’re gonna do my room in a sage-ish or perhaps even jade color, and use bamboo and kanji (Japanese writing) as decorations and such. This means we don’t have to pain the trim too! The natural wood will go fine for our purposes. So that is now settled.

While we were there we got milk and break and other...stuff. Mom bought a Clay Aken Christmas CD, and I coned her into buying me the director’s cut special edition of Dune, which seems like a spin off from the movie, which I have. Is that a run-on? I think it is. Oh well. Live with it. It sounds a lot like the original and all, but I’m not sure just how it pertains to it. Either way, we’ll see.

Oh, also, I found Thoth. I have had 2 binders in the past that I kept things in. One was named Shinigami (after Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing. Shinigami is Japanese for God of Death), and the other was name Thoth (after the Egyptian god of Wisdom). However, Thoth is much bigger and less abused than Shinigami, and so I moved a lot of my charts and graphs and such that were for my stories into Thoth. However, I’d forgotten where I placed Thoth, and so I thought all that information was stuck on my as yet uninstalled hard drive. But today, after cleaning around the old computer desk, I finally found Thoth along with all the old info that I had in it. I was so glad. I started typing up everything so I’d have it on file as well.

Then I got extremely tired, which leads us to now. I’ve taken my shower, my pills and I’m exhausted. Considering all these thigns, I’ve decided to go to bed early. Goodnight.

You're the color blue. You have the three c's in
life--you're cool, caring and confident.
Trustworthy and honest, people are naturally
attracted to you. You're unusually optimistic,
but that makes life all the better. You're an
imaginative person who loves sleeping and
dreaming. Hard-working and determined, you
excell in school. You're everybody's favorite,
and this is because you have this undefined
richness in your personality and attitude.
Mild-tempered and stable. Not to mention very
intelligent. Along with the fact that you're
conservative, you're worried about the
environment. So basically, you're a generous,
dependable and devoted--just the kind of person
everybody needs. Wouldn't it be great if
everybody in the world were like you?

Yo. Ok, so I’ve dropped off the face of the planet for the last two or so days. To be perfectly honest, it’s not as if a lot happened. I got sick Wednesday only to recover from whatever it was Thursday morning and go right into those wonderful menstrual symptoms. So, either I wasn’t feeling good, or I just wasn’t feeling like being talkative. Either way, no show.

So, Wednesday was a bummer. The only good thing to happen that night was CSI: NY, and I honestly didn’t watch it when it came on ‘cause it was taping. I told Mom she’d be going to church by herself because I wasn’t feeling well. She had a migraine and I tried to talk her into staying home, but no she had to go. Well, if she wants to go somewhere and torture herself for an hour not getting anything out of whatever it is the preacher’s saying, that’s none of my concern. So, she told me to make sure and dry the towels and fold them. While I had the towels drying I decided to make some tea, and while that was brewing, I checked my temperature. I felt terrible, my head was aching, I was sore and stiff all over, getting cold chills, and I was getting light-headed so I figured checking temperature would be a good thing. I kept reading 100.9. So, I finished making the tea and folded the towels and waited for her to come home. She was miserable, had a terrible migraine and felt terrible so she decided to leave. I told her I was running a fever...I think she got a little worried...but she was so miserable herself; all we really did was just go to bed.

The next day, I was feeling better but she wasn’t. Ever since she had the Hepatitis her immune system has been nonexistent. In fact, she’s still feeling terrible. But anyway, where was I? Oh yes, Thursday. Got up, got dressed, guzzied up, went out and handed out more job resumes. This time at the Urgent Care place (heard they were needing a clerical person) and State Farm. State Farm is always hiring. I then came home and Mom and I watched CSI: NY. It was great. Then we got ready for Survivor, CSI and Without a Trace. We watched the first two enthralled, and went to bed early. This week has been an absolutely rockin’ week for CSI. Not just the original but the other two as well have just been absolutely captivating. Survivor was ok too, I guess. I so wanted them to vote Jamie off, but he had to go and win the immunity necklace. I’m just glad Gary didn’t bite the dust. That was very smart of him figuring out that Judd had been lying to them when he told them the individual immunity statue was hidden on the ground somewhere. The thing was in a tree, and Judd had the clue that said the thing wasn’t on the ground or buried, and he told everyone it was on the ground. Then Garry notices Judd looking up for the idol...and put 2 and 2 together. Way to go, Gary! Score 1 for the sleazy quarterback who’s fooling everyone that he isn’t a quarterback...I never really paid much attention to Garry, or Dani, or Brandon, but once they merged and the bigger tribe was like “It’s 6 against 4! What!” I just started to root for them. Now that I think about it, I really do like Dani. She was awfully nice to the other tribe on her birthday, inviting them over for a pool party and chocolate and all. But anyway.

Also, Thursday I got a call from Mr. D from Hancocks. Turns out I had 2 checks over there that I didn’t know about. So, I hauled my little tuckas over there to pick them up. One for $123 and another for $96. I was pretty happy about that. You see, before he called me, I had been looking around on eBay. Not really for anything in particular, but you know, just looking around. So, I came across a cheap box set of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars on DVD. So I was so wanting to buy it, but I wasn’t sure if I should. But I did anyway. Then, he calls and is like “You’ve got money over here you haven’t collected!” and I’m all like, “Be right over.” So that’s great.

Today has been...not much of anything. I tried to go to the bank, forgetting completely that it’s Veterans Day...none of them were open of course. The only thing I have to look forward to is Threshold tonight. And that might, probably, maybe, could be canceled...but we’re not sure. Last week they said they’d have a new episode, but everyone on threshold_cbs has been arguing about it...something about Threshold switching it’s slot to Tuesdays, but no one knowing if that’s this week or not.../sigh. Oh well. We’ll see.

Mom’s calling me to go watch Super Nanny with her. It never amazes me how stupid people are when it comes to their own offspring. Irresponsible, tree-hugging, hippie crap. Oh well. I shall post later if Threshold is good or no. Later.

WOOT! This is my first message to you from AMOS. I'm so excited! There was that time for a few days where we didn't have any internet, but now it's all fixed. Thank goodness -.- Oh, and there's so much to write on too. Let's see, there's work of course which is over (another Thank God). Then of course, AMOS and all the trouble it was to get him up and running. Oh and then there's the church and Reiko thingy. And the DVD that I finally got in. Ok...I need to calm down and actually explain all this.

I finally got off of work. I really began to hate the place. I just got so sick of dealing with all the mean, stupid, cranky people...and then there were the customers. Lets just say that some people managed to say quite a bit of hurtful things before I left. My opinions of the place were dampened significantly. However, there are a select few people there that I still think very nicely of. Notice I said ‘nicely’ not ‘highly’.

And then there's the 'other job' at the small engine place. Well that fell through. Apparently it's a problem if I have ADD...When I mentioned it, the lady said they all had ADD, so I never even considered that it'd be a problem. But I guess I was wrong. I'm not allowed to have faults, only they are excused for such things.

So, I'm unemployed ...again. I'll start looking for a new job soon. I'd really like to rest and finish cleaning my room. Now that it’s clean, I find that I enjoy it very much. I can’t wait to show it off to everyone who actually knows me and what my room is always like. It’s such a improvement. The only things that still need work are my closets (clothes & movie). But I’ll be able to work on them with the whole job thing out of the way.

Ok, the computer problems. /sigh. Well, first we bought the computer. AMOS was here and everything was looking up...then Brian came over to hook my other 250 gig hard drive into AMOS...Well, I was at work, so I’m not sure about everything that happened. Apparently I can’t put the 250 gig thingy into AMOS for some reason, but Brian said he ‘had another way to do it’ which mystified me when Mom said that. I was a bit disappointed, since I really wanted that 250 gig thingy in AMOS, but it didn’t bother me too much. I was really surprised when Mom said that we apparently had internet still on Irene...But then I realized that she was mistaken. Then I realized that we didn’t have internet at all. I wasn’t terribly upset by this…or at least, I would’ve been if I hadn’t been so tired from working and all. But then, reinstalling the internet became such a hassle.

But honestly, I do love the new computer. It’s got 820 Intel Pentium D processor, 1.0 GB memory, 250 GB hard drive and it can watch and record live TV with the personal Video recorder & FM tuner. Of course it isn’t hooked up to the TV, but still! It could do that. It also has this little media drive that fits stuff into and you can store the entire hard drive onto and just take it with you...which, I think is pretty cool. Then there’s the 9 in 1 memory card thingies. This way, I can actually take a picture and have it put on the computer. Now I can actually tell you that I’m doing something and that I’m taking pictures of it...and I can show you! /pets AMOS..

Anyway. Wednesday was…interesting. I went to work (9-4) and got this vibe from Mrs. D and Mrs. Shirley that I really didn’t like. Then a customer asked me a question, and I didn’t know the answer…I am still new, so that does tend to happen. So I referred them to Mrs. D and Mrs. Shirley. Whenever I started walking back over there to see if there was anything else that needed fixing, I over heard Mrs. D saying “Oh, Tracie doesn’t know anything! Thank God tomorrow is her last day!” and then she stomped off in a huff. I was partially hurt, but partially expecting it. So, I wasn’t in the most charitable moods yesterday. I got home, and Mom and I ate, and she got this thingy full of hot water and Epsom salt to soak my feet in…it doesn’t make all the pain go away, but it doesn’t help…sorta.

Anyway, we’re just sitting there and who calls but Reiko. I was like “?_?” But her mom wanted her to go to church, and she didn’t want to go to her mom’s church cause she doesn’t like that the people there are really touchy-feely. So, she asked if we’d pick her up. I said sure. It’s been a while since I’d seen her. I’ve already figured that she doesn’t really care about me as a friend, or at least I’m not on her list of priorities, but if she wants to forget about me and then just pick up out of the blue, that’s fine with me.

So we went to church, and we sat in the darkest corner of the room. We did a notebook role-play (except for those times we were interrupted when Reiko had to go and smoke -.-), and that was that.

And then…I got home…and I installed Black&White 2 into my computer. Of course, I don’t have that link that was sent to me for my tiger creature, but I didn’t mind. I was so happy to play. And play I did…for hours. I looked up after I’d finally established a huge town in one of the lands, and thought, “It’s probably late…I should shut ‘er down.” and when I logged off it was 1:05 a.m. O.O And then I realized I was hungry. =.= So I ate something and Watched Alice Through The Looking Glass. Oh yeah, that’s the other thing. I finally got that movie in. It came in /thinks Tuesday…I believe. I was so happy to finally get it in. And it’s as corny and interesting and funny as I remember it.

Today wasn’t much of anything worth recording. The only really great things that happened today were that I finally got the internet working and I finally got away from Hancocks. Other than that, there’s no use in relating the day.

When I finally checked my e-mail, I had like, 22 messages. I was a bit discouraged to see that no one that I actually knew had e-mailed me, they were all newsletters or junk mail. But then, I suppose no one really looks forward to my posting as much as I enjoy and look forward to everyone else’s posting. Such is life.

And with those happy words, I must be off. Though AMOS is up and running, there is much that I must download before he’s really up to par. I only just got GarGirlMM up on AIM! Oh well. That’s all for tonight everyone.

Your feeling is depressed...

You always seem to be depressed and cry easily. You
are a bit (ok, more than a bit) over emotional
and are too sensitive. You rarely smile, and
when you do, it's very weak... your eyes always
seem to be misty and though others have tried
to console you of your sorrow in the past, no
one can seem to get through to you that there's
more to life than being sad. No no one seems to
hang around you anymore which makes you feel
worse, and you feel as you're loved by no one
except maybe your family. People might see you
as the "girl who doesn't talk to
anyone", and you may be sort of a loner,
but that doesn't mean you want to be. What
hurts you is people being mean and even though
you might not get it that often, since you're
so sensitive it still makes you deal with pain.
You're not a leader and are usually the person
who stands alone, does what she's supposed to
do and nothing else.

PS: Oh yeah, the title is 'cause of this girl that came in to work today. She was trying to make a costume for her pet Ginny pig...apparently they were having a competition at her school. Anyway, she decided her Ginny pig would be a pimp. I couldn't let that memory go!

Yo. So it’s late now, and I have to get up early, so I’m gonna try and make this as short as possible.

Work was the same; never terrible, but never wonderful either. Holly had me rearranging the discount tables where bolts of fabric are just laid and people have to rummage through them. The truth is those tables are supposed to be organized to a certain degree, but after people have rummaged through them so much, they get sloppy. Well, in my normal OCD fashion, I started throwing bolts this way and that and started from the bottom up, till I was satisfied. At the end of the night, Holly said ...well I don’t know if I should say exactly what she said as it was full of four letter words...and a few three letter words...that I only use when I feel I absolutely must. Anyway, she loved the table. She ranted about it all night long to anyone who knew what a table was supposed to look like.

We had a lot of fun laughing at Tiffany tonight. Tiffany’s a girl that works there, she’s a clerk like me. But she says things that just pop into her head a lot, and it’s so out of left field. We were talking about something and she was like,

“The other night I fell, and the door should have caught me but it didn’t. And I could see everyone looking at me about to laugh as I was slowly sliding backwards. And then I saw the ceiling and it was just like in the Matrix.” And we all cracked up! Because the way she said it, it sounded like she could see the ceiling and it was just like the ceiling in Matrix or something. It was hysterical. And then Andrew, another worker who’s also an English Major (it’s always fun working with him), makes up a poem about it out of no where. Something like...

“What are you thinking right now?”
“Puppies smell funny!”

Then he said it’d be funny to have a class that was all about studying Tiffany. The funny thing was that Tiffany said, “I could probably pass that.” Then Andrew promptly started singing,

“Circles have one side! Triangles have three!” and everyone just couldn’t stand it from laughing so much.

Ok, so then we all got off, and Mom and Dad met me at Wally-World to look and see if they had the computer I wanted. The trouble is, no one knows how to find out what Video and Sound card the computers have and whether or not those products have integrated sound & video cards. It’s so frustrating. Dad says we might have to ‘break down’, as he puts it, and go to the actual Computer stores. I just hate to see us paying over $800 for a computer we could get a Wal-Mart, if the people there actually knew how to find out what their merchandise is!

Ok. So we’re home. It was funny here, ‘cause Dad turned on the TV to check on Wilma, and they were showing footage of the people in Florida chain-sawing their way through logs. And they zoomed in on one of the logs, and it had PUMA written on the side of it. So I giggled and said, “What in sam-hill is a puma?!” all Sarge-like, and my dad looks at me cluelessly and says, “Baby, a Puma’s a chain saw.” And that just made me crack up more.

And that’s all for tonight. My pills are kicking in and I’m tired and aching all over. Goodnight!

Yo, minna. Wasabi!

Heh. Just in case you’re wondering...I’m not asking you for wasabi -.- Whenever the ‘Wassup’ commercials came out, my Twin-san(animequeen) mentioned that Wasabi and Wassup sounded alike, and she thought it’d be cool if they showed Japanese people yelling “Wasabi!”...so now we great each other by saying “Wasabi!” ...Yeah.

ok so tonight. We were actually busy tonight, which is odd. Nights are usually a little busy and then we hit 7:30 and nothing happens till around 8:30, and we might get one customer. We didn’t get a chance to start tending to stuff till 8:30 because of the people. The Holly had forgotten about something Mr. D had asked us to do, so we had to scramble to get it done, and at 8:55 a customer walked in the door. Holly was like, “Son of a bitch!” and she stomped off to tell the lady, politely I might add, that we were going to be closed in less than 5 minutes. She literally followed the lady around till she’d gotten everything, and then checked her out.

Also, I got my first 2 checks from Hancock’s tonight! One’s a little over $140 and the other is a little over $120...so I’m not quite as po’ any mo’. Heh...I was thinking of buying myself something from Amazon...but then I decided against it. I need to save that money. I do have bills to pay (my beloved car!), and I don’t expect my parents to be too happy about bailing me out too much.

My Dad and I always used to joke about it though. For 2+ years I didn’t have money problems. In fact, I hoarded up my money, spending it quite frugally. More often than not, my parents would borrow money from me instead of the other way around. We used to call it “The Bank of Tracie” and Dad would joke about how much interest I charged on loans.

He’d be like, “I need to borrow about $20 from you, baby.”

And I would be like, “Well all right, but just remember, by next Monday, that $20 turns into $30.” And he would pretend to sway.

You know for some odd reason I started watching Sailor Moon Super an hour before I had to leave...I got through the first 2 tapes too. Super is where they introduce all the Outer Senshi (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn). Although I always worry about how they make things seem...it’s not entirely accurate...Like for instance, Uranus is named after the Roman god of the sky, right? Well one of Uranus’s attacks is “World Shaking”...that implies earth dominance...wtf? Also, Sailor Pluto is considered the guardian of time, while the dreaded Sailor Saturn (my fave) is considered the warrior of death and rebirth...another wtf considering Pluto would be more fit to be a warrior of death and rebirth as Pluto was the Roman god of death and the underworld, the equal of the Greek Hades. Saturn was the god of agriculture, so really, she should probably have Uranus’s “World Shaking” attack...

And I’ve gone off and gotten obsessive and ranty about the whole subject. Honestly! Oh well. Ok, so my plans for tonight include:

-Go take a shower
-Go walk Fred for the night
-Watch Sailor Moon Supers till I get sleepy.

And that’s it. Goodnight, Mina.

(In case anyone was wondering...Mina means Everyone in Japanese...just thought that might make things easier for those non-anime watchers of you out there.)

Yo. Today was...better than I anticipated. I woke up early...like, at 1:30 a.m. I could not get back to sleep for some reason. So I got up and drank some water, because my mouth was totally dry. And then I popped a cough drop because my throat was killing me. After the cough drop was gone, though, I was catching Z’s.

So, then I woke up again at 7 a.m. and ate my usual cereal breakfast. Then I realized that I always eat stuff 2 hours before I get to work, and that might be why I’m starving by the time 12 rolls around. So, I also made 2 egg rolls around 8 a.m. Mom had gone out to help Mrs. Bev with her paper rout around 4, but she got home around 8. We talked for a while, and then I just left for work. I was feeling terrible because my cycle started that morning.

That’s another issue. My gyno-saurus prescribed me some Yasmin for damage control. He prescribed a number of refills and stuff so I’d be good for a while. But he retired like, last month...and his office was in New Orleans...and I’m out of refills. So, now, we’re like, Do we call a local gyno and ask if they can help? Cause I don’t really wanna go for a check up considering that I don’t need one...but then, would it be possible to call the other doctor’s office and have them help? For that matter, would they even be available?

But anyway, we started out at work unpacking Christmas stuff. That’s right, Hancocks doesn’t have enough Christmas stuff out (there are a total of 6 tables piled with crap), so we had to squeeze more stuff in. So we were doing that. Then, around 10:30 we started getting so many customers, we couldn’t unpack anymore. A few minutes later I looked up and it was 11:45...O.O; Yeah. So, Trudy —the new girl that replaced the old new girls (Lucy and Me) — told me to go ahead and take my break, and for once I didn’t argue. For some reason, I like being almost last to take the break...I don’t know why. Anyway...So, I went on break, and Mom had brought me a Whopper Jr. from Burger King, along with fries and a medium root beer (much love). So I ate that, and finally! Mr. Davenport went to his office. So I told him that I had decided to give my 2 week’s notice. He nodded and asked if I could give it to him in a written notice, and I said sure. He said he’d still consider today as the day I’d give then notice and all. That was cool. After that, everything seemed great. I barely noticed the pain in my feet till around, oh, 1:30...when I had to clock back on. -.-

But, once again, we were so busy that time melded together...except around 3...when time slowed down. But I finally got out of there. Mom had made a spaghetti (much, much love), so I took my shower and then we ate. We also watched Thursday’s Without a Trace. I actually enjoyed this one. I usually like them, but I’ve never been quite as into them as CSI. Speaking of which, CSI was great. It was kinda mimicking the whole Heaven’s Gates cult thing, only with a con-man twist...Which...if allowed to play out, would’ve probably been much less painful. Anyway.

I got online, and I was checking the Threshold site, and I saw this thing called the ‘fractal screensaver’. It’s something nick named Electric Sheep. It’s really really cool! It’s a screen saver...I can’t really tell you all of what it’s about, but it’s something like, when the computer ‘sleeps’ it has abstract info all on it, and the program takes this info and makes it into shapes that actually have form...it’s called an android dream, and had something to do with asking if computers dream, so it was called Electronic Sheep...because they’re computers...and they’re...counting sheep...yeah. But anyway, here’s the first sheep image I got from my PC’s trip into dream land.

It’s pretty cool huh? I thought it was really pretty, and it’s even cooler to see it moving and all. These pics really don’t do it justice.

Oh well. Mom and I just finished watching Trading Spaces, and tomorrow will be early (and probably painful -.-). So I might as well head off to bed. Goodnight everyone...I can’t wait to see what other images my computer will make when it dreams...

Yo. Let’s see how we did on the check-list shall we?

1) Woke up – Check
2) Went to Work – Check
3) Hated every living second of work – Check
4) Went through horrific spasming pains because of work – Check
5) Hobbled home receiving death glares – Check

Yep! My day’s pretty much complete so far.

This frikkin job sucks now. It’s only been what? Two weeks so far. And already I hate it. I hate the unreasonable amount of physicality, I hate the way people expect you to know everything about everything, and I hate the way people seem to think the job is more important than life itself. Hello?! Helo~o! No job is worth my self esteem and physical soundness, thank you.

Today was the best so far /sarcasm. After getting to work I received the cold shoulder from even people I knew before I started working at the stupid place. Why? Well, because I called in sick the day before, of course! Like it’s my fault I’m sick or something. People were more distant towards me, they put me to work without wanting to talk or caring about what had happened yesterday. So, I was just like, whatever, right?

Oh, and even better! I get there and a new lady is there. I’ve never seen her before. So I introduce myself and ask who she is and how long she’ll be working today. She says she’s working ‘9 to whenever’ and that she’s ‘the replacement for the girl that didn’t show up yesterday.’ The only girl I know of that didn’t show up yesterday...was me. And she’s all excited because she says she’s being trained to supervise nights and weekends. Hmmm, kinda sounds like the job description that was pitched to me too. That’s just great, I call in sick for one day and already they’re replacing me.

Honestly, I don’t care too much. She can have the damn job. It’s just so disappointing to get attached to these people and begin to rely on them, only to have them stab you in the back for being human. Honestly. I hope someone throws their shortcomings in their faces.

Then I checked my e-mail...I’m getting to where I want to change my e-mail address again, but I’ve forgotten how to configure Outlook Express /rolls eyes. I had 7 e-mails today. 1 was from rattgirl-chan, 1 was from a newsletter I subscribe to, and the other 5 were all “Pay off your mortgage!”, “Lose weight quickly!”, “Rapid Fire Ring tones!” and enlargement of organs that I don’t even have. Honestly! Why do we have to get cyber-junk-mail? Don’t we all get enough junk-mail in real life? But, even though I’ve gone over to hotmail every day and blocked all the companies who’ve sent me this junk, it still comes!

You know...I’m kinda in a justification/rant mode...I think I should do something, and then come back to the computer...maybe I’ll go shower...and have an egg roll...or 2. That might be a good plan. I have to eat an egg roll for Chibi-chan(amai_tenshi) since today’s her birthday. I’m sure with how the mail’s been so screwed up around here, she hasn’t gotten my package yet.

That’s another thing that’s driving me crazy: the mail. I ordered a Alice in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass DVD off Ebay weeks ago, and it still has not come in. Seller says she shipped the thing off, and she’s as concerned as I am.

OK...I’m really going to step away from the PC before I get aggravated again.

Later.

Yo...today sucked big-time. The only good thing that happened today was that my feet didn’t start to hurt till 2 hours after I started working. Lat time it took an hour and a half for them to start hurting. But of course, once they started hurting it only went down hill from there. People had gone crazy for our Columbus Day sale. I mean, one minute it’s 9ish and then I look up after a couple of customers and it’s like 11:30! What’s worse, is that I keep feeling sick...Mom appears to be getting over her virus...I just hope I’m not catching it.

Oh well. I work tomorrow, 10—5, Wednesday 10—5, Thursday 9—4, off Friday, and Saturday 9—4. And that’s all there is to say about that.

In other news...The Good News. I finally got Black&White 2. The Bad News. I can’t play it. It requires DirectX 9.0c, and DirectX 8/9 based Video card which supports at least version 1.1 pixel shaders, and I don’t have that...and I’ve no idea how to get that. So, I guess it’ll just be another thing I’ll have to look forward to when I get that new computer. So, I’m gonna put it with my EQII game and just ignore it till I can actually get my new computer...dammit.

Not much else happened today other than the agony that work has become. Aunt Batty gave me a belated birthday card with $10 in it...other than that, that’s all. I think I’ll go to bed early tonight. Waking up at 6:30 this morning was rough. Goodnight to all.

Yo. Today was long and painful. Work started at 9 and I didn’t get to sit down and eat till 12:46. I was given a 30 minute break, because I worked 8 hours. I promptly clocked in at 1:16, only to be made to fill out loads of paperwork. Once I was done, I headed back out there. I stuck mainly to the cutting tables, because...well, because it was the only thing I really knew -.- But, I also periodically jogged, walked, and limped around the store to put cut fabric up and hang up sale signs.

I clocked out around 4, but not too after to really aggravate someone. In fact Mrs. Marry Anne told me something along the lines of, “I’m gonna go and finish this, then I’ll drop everything and head back so you can clock off.” I liked hearing that.

I got off and headed to Feldgers Footwear...that was mostly unsuccessful. I found out that I’m currently wearing shoes that are 2 sizes too small. The shoes I needed were not in stock, so I had to order them. It’s really sad when you pay over one hundred dollars. But oh well.

After the stop at the foot place, I headed home quickly as you can when ¾ of New Orleans is out there driving in your rinky dink town. I took a shower. While I was showering, Mom put the noodles in the spaghetti sauce. She makes the sauce like, all day long, and then she adds the noodles. She also had some nice buttered garlic bread in the oven. When I got out of the shower we ate and watched the taped Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Filthy Rich Cattle Drive. Makeover was cool, it always is fun to watch.

Filthy Rich was actually good, because Fabian was an ass, and people stood up to him. He totally laid into Alexander, and the next day the other Alex told Fabian that next time he felt like talking to Alexander that way, he should wait until he (Alex) was around. I so loved that part of the show. It made it all cool. Then everyone started feeling bad that they hadn’t done anything for Alexander the night before, so they were sort of defying Fabian. I loved it.

We have wrapped up the night by watching Whose Line is it Anyway, which is great medicine since we all laugh so much at their antics. I have to work tomorrow 10-5, Wed: 9-4, Thurs&Fri: 2-9, with Saturday off. I don’t know about Sundays yet, but I imagine I’ll have either 1-5 or nothing at all. Either way I’ll be pleased.../whimper I can’t wait till my new shoes come in.

But that’s all for tonight’s edition.I have taken one of Mom's ambiguous 'muscle relaxers ' in hopes of working out the kinks in my aching legs and feet tonight before the morrow comes. Goodnight all.

You're Captain Jack Sparrow: smart, savvy, a demon with the eyeliner and the best damn pirate we've ever seen. And only a litte crazy. Savvy?

PS: Oh yeah, while Mission to Mars totally rocked, Red Planet totally left something to be desired. M2M is now making it’s way into my vast Amazon.com wishlist. Let's see...the count is now up to 382 items taking up 16 pages....psy~cho.

KThxBye.
