did they change the info page? looks a little different but i don't really remember what it looked like before. so oh well. i got lost in the world wide web. and landed here. it's been a crappy day. nothing particularly crappy happened. but i feel crappy. maybe it's the weather. my seven hour shift tunred in to a nine hour shift because my manager ( Read more... )

so i voted today. i "rocked the vote" as my sticker says. i was quite surprised to find that there were no lines at the voting place. i was ushered right in. it was my first time in the booth. i'd sent in an absentee last election. gareth dropped me off on his way back home to vote. since he didn't change his voter registration address. i got to ( Read more... )

the week has started out a bit hectic. this weekend i worked a twelve hour shift that included a meeting. while working someone hit my car in the parking lot. some guys saw it and came in to ask who's car it was. they got their licence plate number and i called the cops. they filed a report and i filed a claim with my insurance. i've been playing ( Read more... )

i did end up doing something productive that day. i finished writing my guyana story. it's still not perfect for printing but i'm quite impressed with myself for finally finishing it. the show earlier this week was a good one. but it lasted until past one am and we ended up leaving before they were finished. we decided canadians have no concept of ( Read more... )

i talked to an old friend last night. it had been forever. about a year. he wasn't at the wedding when i saw everyone else. i haven't even talked to them since then. these days i don't feel like i have many friends. i don't make the effort to really talk to or see anyone. sure i'm busy with my class and work. and the time i have off i usually want ( Read more... )

i went back home today for the first time in awhile. did some yard work to get gareth reimbursed for the vet visits. mom said not to tell dad and that what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. but i know his stocks are hurting pretty bad right now. so i feel bad taking from them. plus he was a little confused as to why i'd been there all day helping ( Read more... )

i've been in a slump all night. felt like i should be doing something but too sad or something to do anything. i had to bring pete to the vets today. he's got a sore on his back foot that keeps bleeding. i think it's bumblefoot but hoping it's just an infection that can be cleared up with the ointment i got. with my money in limbo right now gareth ( Read more... )

i watched the presidential debates tonight. probably the most politics i've actually watched. still didn't know about everything they were saying. but i feel this is an important time to be paying attention to these things. my car failed inspection this week. and i had to pay over six hundred dollars today to get it to pass. i didn't have that much ( Read more... )

so i've been sick. just a cold i think. but any sickness sucks. i gave it to gareth too. it's kind of hard to avoid when you're living in the same room. this is my first day off since i got sick and i'm starting to feel a bit better. it's pouring out. hurricane hanna is in virginia now. i guess it's turned into a tropical storm. that's good because ( Read more... )

i had to drop my class. apparently assistant managers have to work monday nights. no one told me this until this week. and it was fine until no one else could cover the shift. i guess i understand. i just hate being an adult. i was actually able to get into a morning class on the same days with the same professor. it's a beginners' course but i'm a ( Read more... )
