So much to say...not really though.
I won't offer any excuses as to why I haven't updated at all this month. Well- apart from the usual rants/musings/whingings of no job.
I *do* have money however. Not much, and I have to use it sparingly. But you will only hear me say this one time- thank you IRS for FINALLY giving a sista back what little money she's owed! The government, man, I tell ya. Makes it hard to live in this here country with no cash.
Mom and Dad are in Texas visiting the grands- they left last Thursday and won't be back until Monday. My oldest bro- who has *mad* connections of all sorts- got tickets for he and my Dad to see the Jazz/Spurs NBA Western Conference Finals Game 2, so I know Dad was in hog fucking *heaven*. LOL (Hell yes I am fucking jealous, okay?) So I have blessedly had the house to self since then. Good and bad to that, mostly good though. :) And it has rained EVERY NIGHT since they left. Well, very nearly every night. All I know is that the frogs who live near our pool have been loud in proclaiming that they're around and driving me insane in the process. And I have to cholorinate tomorrow too because the pH levels have gone all screwy again. It is times like this I miss having a pool dude. (We have Dad to thank for lack of pool person, so.....) But we needed the rain down here, so things aren't all bad.
STILL tussling with the State over unemployment benefits. It's ridiculous. It's not *much* money, so what's the prob? And still no leads from any jobs I've applied for (which 3 to 5 a week, which doesn't sound like many, but I have been doing this since mid-March, so it adds up). Frustration is one word for it.
One good thing about my jobless state- my writing and reading habits have gotten better. Not so much writing, but I have been reading like no tomorrow. At least three books a week, fiction and non-fiction. So my brain hasn't atrophied as far as I thought it had. And slowly catching up with some movies- have seen 'Idlewild' recently and watched 'Lucky Number Slevin' tonight, which I really enjoyed. Anything with Ben Kingsley AND Morgan Freeman I am good for.
And Friday? PIRATES! I can hardly fucking wait, you have no clue. LOL Johnny in eyeliner again...*purrrrrrr* And I swear he's regressing in age. I hate him, but I love him. :) I want his babies, please.
Last.Fm? Is like teh crack. Now that I can play my own own custom playlist, I am in high heaven. I am finding songs I haven't heard in EONS. Hello- Nick Kamen? *Mel & Kim*? Robbie Williams? My inner gay girl diva is being well supplied this week. Nothing like prancing around singing 'Respectable' to do that to ya.
And I need a new wallpaper.
