Well, Hurricane Sara has come and gone for another year. My distant sister came home on leave with her wild, loud daughter. So we had three days of monosyllable answers, crappy tv shows (hello, kardashians!), kids fighting, and general bitchy diva behavior (hogging the shower, washing machine, sink, etc). I've had to put up with complaints about my ( Read more... )

The job hunt continues, as always. What's more depressing is that other folks are putting in their two weeks because they've found glorious new jobs with better pay and hours and everything. Where do these jobs come from? Does everyone have an inside track but me ( Read more... )

Bjorn had his first communion today. It was a pretty spiffy ceremony. He looked quite sharp in his shirt and tie. The girls at church had their white dresses and veils. They all looked so cute dressed up. I think Bjorn had a good time. My dad wasn't embarrassing until the end when he kept thanking Father for mass. Jesus. The man already thinks he's ( Read more... )

Finally watched "The Wolverine" and like it the move I see it. What's bothering me now though, is the fact that Logan gets his metal claws sliced off by the crazy old dude and then the bone claws grow back? Um, ew! I don't like the Wolverine with only bone claws. I mean, they're not as fierce as the metal claws and I wouldn't think they'd be as ( Read more... )

Another spring day, another day after a snow storm. Seriously. It's April 5th, can we stop with the snow already? It didn't help that this big storm was hyped for yesterday and we barely got 3 inches. By late afternoon most of it had melted anyway. I'm just done with winter. I'm so over it and really am not looking forward to the next one. It doesn ( Read more... )

Started reading THE THORN BIRDS and then decided to watch the miniseries. OMG, I can see why it was such a winner back in the day! It's got it all: epic, love story, historical, many characters, death by wild boar, fire. It's great! I'm not a huge Richard Chamberlain fan, but he really won me over here. Loved Rachel Ward as well - she really did ( Read more... )

The hunt for a better job (or 2nd job) keeps getting harder and harder. Turned down for two more jobs. I'm tired of hearing that I don't have the experience or the right degree. That really shouldn't matter for office work or clerical work. It's bullshit. It shouldn't matter that I don't drive - that's what buses and bikes are for. I'm tired of not ( Read more... )

Well, started shopping around for health insurance (cause my crap pt time job is dropping me) and took a look at the gov's websites...the cheapest plan that I saw on that site would cost me $234 a month! I can't afford that! I can barely afford rent now as it is! I couldn't believe it! What a bloomin' joke! I'm looking at other places now. ( Read more... )

Just watched "Day of the Doctor" and I heart Doctor Who! It wasn't like I thought it would be (turned out to be less Zygons and more Time War). Rose really wasn't Rose, no Nine or Eight cameos (well, not really) and the Zygons weren't really defeated (just made peace with). Seeing a cameo from Twelve was nice too. I did like, no LOVE LOVE LOVE, the ( Read more... )

Well, I thought things were maybe looking up for me. I found $20 on the sidewalk, I had a job interview, I was going to sell some DVDs and CDs. Now, it's all been a big, fat joke. The cash was gone in a weekend, the job interview didn't lead to a job and the place I sold the movies at made me feel like a goddamn criminal. I've never been so ( Read more... )
