Once again, I'm living beyond my means ... by going to this crazy awesome thing tomorrow in Orlando. And I can't figure out whether to buy tickets off Fandago and pay the stupid "convenience" fee or just buy them when we get there. If I buy them now, I'm guaranteed tickets ... but if we have some kind of problem getting there and miss the showtime ( Read more... )

I'm feeling ready for my news show I'm directing on the 30th. I'm very pleased with the test scores I've been getting. I haven't even started thinking about the four papers I have due in less than a month. Two out of three is not bad.

~They raised the prices at Ripley's - it is now 14.99 to get in, not 12.95... We actually have a new paper to fill ( Read more... )

Back at Ripley's ... tourists are ridiculous as ever and the register is even more unnecessarily overcomplicated than before.

I didn't like World Trade Center. I'm really glad they didn't show any planes hitting the buildings but I actually liked how they portrayed that part. It was just enough, without being scared to do it or taking it too far. ( Read more... )

There's a really great event coming up called Walk for Farm Animals. It's a 3-6 mile walk that educates the public about the realities of factory farming, but also raises crucial funds for direct rescue/refuge efforts, campaigns and educational programs for the Farm Sanctuary. It's a really great cause and it's also a lot of fun.

Here's the ( Read more... )

Driving here was probably the easiest trip yet. Nothing went wrong at all ... other than Allison getting stung by a bee. We made it all the way to Georgia on the first day, so that was over 12 hours of no construction traffic, no accident backups, and no car trouble. We only drove 3ish hours the second day and got here really early. So that night ( Read more... )

Vacation was canceled due to no funds. We went to Cleveland instead, and visited MOCA and Peking Gourmet. MOCA had some really great exhibits. Last time there for another 4 or so months. I can't believe I'm leaving in less than a week. And I have so much to do and my head hurts just thinking about it.

I picked this puppy up yesterday: 160 ( Read more... )

I hate feeling so down when I have so much going for me. I have my health (as far as I know), people I really love and care about, a bed to sleep in, food to eat/water to drink, an income (finally), and an opportunity for further education. It feels awful to feel awful. But I kinda do ( Read more... )
