If I have that song in my fron for the next couple of weeks, you can totally blame creation - That's the song I picked to use for my Michael Shanks vid contest entry. I started in on it today while I was in the box... Yeah, ain't getting this one done in less then two days! And if this one's giving me major brain cramps, wait until I start the Ben one! *headdesk* I'm glad I have until the beginning of August with these...
As for my prompt on the friendathon - yeah, still haven't even sat down and put the brabbits to work on a general idea on where to go with that one. For all who are interested in my prompt, it's Cam and Daniel, the prompt word being 'learning curve'. If anyone wants to toss some possible beginning threads for the story my way, I'll happily take them!
So Ted just jumped in my shit about not paying my part of the phone bill - he didn't yell or anything (which really is a surprise, considering). And he mentioned something about being $500 behind - idk what that shit is about, cause the only thing I own them is the money for the phone. I haven't been HOME to owe them anything else. Madre and I agreed that I would be paying her back over the summer - which I will start on Wednesday when I get my check for this past week. She told me not to worry about the crap that Ted was saying, and I'm not. I'm just mildly irked that he's blaming me for his money problems again.
When I get my check on Wednesday, and see how much I'm actually getting (i clocked 31:48, I believe - I know it's 31:something 8 - I didn' quite catch the 'middle' number), I'll be able to divy (how DOES one spell that word?) things up the way I want. Depending on what I get, I'm thinking $30-$50 for Madre, $60 to put into saving for Chicago, and have whatever's left over to have for spending (probably for Madre for Mommy's day) - IDK though... Like I said, I have to see my check. It's probably lower than I'm expecting, which WOULD be my luck.
The baby that I mention last week? Yeah, the poor little kitty died the other day. Very sad - but he held on longer than I originally thought he would. Still, it's a smidge upsetting. He was so cute! So Sheila is now down to five kids - all of which are the cutest little balls of fur EVAR. Of course they always start out that way, and then they turn into the THINGS rampaging all over the house now. *snort* No, all joking aside, ya'll know i LVOE my kitties!
What else did I want to talk about??
Oh, my work schedule for the week - OFF Tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday (SCORE!), working Friday 1-9 R (of course! Abyss is on Friday night! GRRRR! and the fact that I have it on DVD (3 times), and iTunes is neither here nor there), 1-9 B on Saturday, Sunday off, Monday 1-9 B, and Tuesday off (Very happy I'm getting Tuesdays off - I would HATE to fall behind on ENKISS!). I'm pleased with this schedule - True, it's only three days, but after this week of 3 days straight on a register, I'll take it. It's still money, right?
Before anyone asks, no, I haven't read any in a little bit - I brought the companion with me today, along with the next book on my list just incase I got productive. But I ended up spending the whole time in the box working on the vid. It really is a complicated one. I'm thinking I might read after posting this since I'm not that tired, and I really want to get back into my frelling reading list! I don't want all my early progress to be for nothing!
Miffed 'cause Sunday's ep of the Tudors isn't up yet! I SOOOO wanna see it! That show is like my crack - it's seductive and addictive and amazing. True, it's not completely historically accurate, but that's why I always go in with the actual history not biasing my viewing. I watch for the entertainment and the storylines being weaved and the KICKASS costumes. It's a seperate entity from what actually happened, even if it's tied to it in almost every way. I honestly reccommend it! If you don't have faith in DLing it or buying the first season, it's up on surfthechannel (where I watch the current season). Again, definitely recommend it! It is LVOE!
Okie donkie *told you I would use it!*, I think that's about it. I'm gonna take one last look at my progress on the Michael vid, then it's off to read!

P.S (squared): I'll be getting to the meme I was tagged on, and that meme from a while back where people asked me questions probably tomorrow. That is the plan anyways!
