Well, I'm back, after another stint without an ISP. Been back about a week so I'm finally going through and catching up things like livejournal that I've neglected, yet again. What's new in the life of the jack-ass? Not a lot, sadly enough. I'm still on Daedal, though I've been taking time to catchup some of my collection of PS2 games that I ( Read more... )

Well, a few things. Becca dragged me down to an art store last week. Took a good bit of effort, I didn't really want to go. (What can I get at a specialty that I can't get cheaper at Hobby Lobby or Michael's? Turns out, a lot.) Bought myself a set of sepia pens, a chisel-point prismacolor marker and a set of oil pastels along with a good ( Read more... )

Somehow I imagined it being easier to find time to write in this. Then again, I've avoided the computer the last day or so and overslept. I hopped around a bit and found a theme that seemed nice. Normally I'd modify it, but I'm too tired. Long night at work. Anyways. To be continued, hopefully with something of a mite greater value than new ( Read more... )

Well, wouldn't you know. I've been locked out of my livejournal for over a year and the day I finally manage to get back into my old gmail account, I try logging in so I can see if that's the e-mail I linked this too... then wham. It lets me in on what I'd swear is the same password it's been rejecting all this time. Or I'm going senile. It ( Read more... )

Spent most of yesterday with an old friend from high school. He's been working on a cruise ship out of Hawaii. I'm jealous. Toll road job is still steady. Still what I should stick with if I want to go back to college. Idunno. Lately I've been wanting to do something else. I find myself with the sudden need for a little change in my life. ( Read more... )

I guess it's funny how we can miss some of the things that are, at least on the personal scale, quite significant, when writing in these things. It occurred to me tonight at work that there is one thing going on that might be worthy of mention as being significant to me ( Read more... )

Not much to say. Becca's still working her way through the 100 dogs necessary to complete her portfolio so she can go on commission... I'm still working at the toll road spending most of my time reading/writing/drawing on the job since third shift is about as active, for the most part, as the graveyard it's named for ( Read more... )

No, I have not in fact been struck by lightning, run over by a drunken moron, chased out of town and shot by hillbillies, etc. so forth. The jack ass is still alive and kicking. He just seems to be doing a lot more running than kicking lately ( Read more... )

Feeling a little down. We're so closed to getting Becca into grooming school and all and out of the blue it seems like her manager's decided to screw her anyway she can. Dunno if she somehow pissed the bitch off or what. Out of the blue she's gone from getting about 30 hours a week to getting about 15. To begin with I told her not too worry too ( Read more... )

Well, on one note, I dunno what I was thinking at my last post, but it was my 30 day review. Probably was dreaming that it was my 90 day review. About 2 months into the job now. Still looks good. Should have a chance of promotion relatively soon, blah blah, etc. so forth I sit in a booth all day and get payed to not fall asleep ( Read more... )
