Life Sucks...
Well it's been a while... Life sucks. That pretty much sums it up right there! When I stepped down from Mngr I thought it would give me more time, no all it's giving me is more headaches. 'Cause now all I'm doing is worrying about whether or not my next paycheck will be enough to cover rent & put gas in the car to get back and forth to work, let alone get groceries! Anyways, yeah, life sucks.
But I splurged this weekend - twice - went to Portland for, what is looking like the last Kane show of the summer :(, and I bought S3 of Leverage on DVD. Yup, I'm addicted! Kane was, of course, amazing! The guys are awesome and they love what they do and it shows. It bleeds into every show they perform and that bleeds into the audience and that's what keeps us coming back for more - even when we can recite Chris' "speeches" of how he came up with each and every song! This show was a bit longer than any of the others I've been to. It was SO nice! My mama ended up going to the show with me 'cause Bubba ditched me and even though I'm almost 30 Mama still doesn't believe that I'm old enough to go to Downtown PDX by myself :D I met up with some of the other ladies, had a few drinks, and just generally enjoyed the night. Until the last 30 min of the show when the entire cast decided to come stand next to me and Mama. I love Leverage, it's my favorite show, it's #1 on my DVR, NOTHING gets recorded/watched before Leverage. But DAMNIT when I'm @ Dante's I'm there to see Kane! I want to enjoy my show! I don't want to get pushed and shoved by people trying to get pictures with Beth or guys trying to get close to Jeri Ryan! John Rogers can stand by me though :) No one cared about him, Beth was there! So, yeah, Rogers, Beth, Jeri, Tim, Aldis and a few of the other writers/directors that I've seen pictures of to recognize, but can't think of their names were all there. I have been told that people hate me more times in the past 2 days than I have in my entire life! I am not a Jeri Ryan fan. I know who she is, I liked her as Tara on Leverage, but she's not one of my favorite actresses and unlike T, she does nothing for me. BUT I was in her bubble...well actually since I was there first, she was in MY bubble at the show. She's actually shorter than I thought she'd be. Beth is VERY loud. Mama almost yelled @ her for screaming in Mama's ear so many times :D Yeah, I do come by it naturally! But anyways, back to Leverage. I bought S3 finally, I know I'm a horrible fan, but yeah, gas in my car was more important back when the dvds came out. I have seen every episode @ least 5 times, if not more, so I always start out watching the commentaries. I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely LOVE John Rogers! He is SO frickin' hilarious! And he may remind me of a geekier - less chef-y version of my brother :D Rogers is the only one that is on every commentary, and he has been for every dvd. His and his Guiness/Irish Whiskey. It's great! So yeah, even though I will be eating top ramen and $Tree pizza pockets for the next week until I get paid again, I HAD to have this season.
I have also started my Certification programs for my yarn classes. The only things I have to say is - UGH & WHAT WAS I THINKING! - I'm not quite sure I fully grasped the understanding of what I was doing when I accepted to do this. I mean it will be a good thing in the long run. It'll help me with my pattern design and pattern WRITING since my little tech editor has jumped ship on me. It's just looking through the books, it has a LOT of stuff I've NEVER even THOUGHT of attempting before... Maybe it'll be good, break me out of my safety bubble? Anyways, I have until Christmas to finish these courses and they will be a LOT of work. I will not be online very much until then, I have scheduled out classes but I don't expect anything to really come about until this fall. Not many people think about yarn stuff in the summer time. Except for those weird people who can't seem to put the stuff down. That's what COTTON and LINEN are for people!!! :D
Oh, off now to see what dog is raising hell about...
