(no subject)
so.
i got my first digicam. finally! psyched is not the word.
actually, apparently psyched is the word because i've been using it entirely too much.
whatev. i got my first digicam!
and i don't find it ironic at all that i have no way of getting the pictures from the camera to the computer because... well. i don't have a computer anymore
no matter! i have a camera and this is what counts.
it records video! and it has a built in macro thingee. (but it doesn't work very well.) but that's ok. i'm proud of my little camera. i named her. ok, not really, but i thought it would be fun to say so.
i took pictures of Mom in rollers and zit cream. and i took pictures of her all drunk and whatnot. but then i deleted them. how cool is that??? i take pictures! and then delete them! or keep them! muahahahahaha, the power.
i.
took.
pictures!
the purple carpet of flowers in our courtyard? got it.
the houses in the hills behind our apartment? got it!
the orange bloom outside of Sav-On? so got it!
the busted ass tricycle the little kids who live below us careen around on at godawful hours of the morning? yeah, i got that too.
i even took pictures for that food porn community! my garlic butter shrimp piled high and garnished with cilantro and avacado. and the beef liver pate that i was finally able to make because we finally found a grocery store who understands that any grocery store which dares to call itself a grocery should always carry chicken, beef & veal livers. always.
it was a pain in the ass to make it, though. i forgot how much preparation beef liver requires, what with the deveining and cutting one's fingers all to shreds and whatnot. but it was so worth it. we ate all of it. ALL of it. with those incredible pita chips from the New York Deli or whatever. so.good. artery clogging? absolutely. and did i take a picture? you bet! yay for me!
we also went clothes shopping for me birthday. kind of. The Avenue really... sucks. it's ok, i guess for cheap staples, like chones and tank tops and white cotton bras and pantyhose. but that's all they have. everything else was just rack upon rack of nonsense. cheaply made nonsense, too. so. tonight, we're to go to the Nordstrom's outlet to look at more cheaply made nonsense. then maybe Ashley Stewart. i don't know, i should have just done the mailorder thing, but waited too long, and i didn't have the money to do it anyway, so what the fuck am i rambling on about.
oh. and i found a cake designer, right. but of course, since Mom & me are co-captains of the Last Minute Players, we waited too long, and probably won't be able to commission the cake in time. i'm not really upset, i mean, a great fondant & butter cream cake would have been awesome, but. it's ok.
no it's not. i really want my cake!
the guest list turned out all right. i was worried i wouldn't have very many people to invite, but between work & old school mates & random other people, i've managed to rack up a nice group. if they show up or not remains to be seen, but i'm kind of not worried about that at all. The Westin has never failed to provide the ultimate good time, and i simply cannot imagine not having fun, even if it's just me and my Mama.
Mom invited D'bora & my twelth cousins Andre & PookieKyle. that should be interesting. they'll be the only family members there. i haven't seen Andre in like, 100 years. or Kyle, for that matter. we were all really close when we were younger, but. well. that's the way life goes.
we finally went to Circuit City to find out what the hell was going on with the computer. they can fix it. they have to order the motherboard from Dell, and then do the labor. it's only going to cost $350 with the labor. not as bad as i thought it'd be. i don't understand why they couldn't tell us this by phone, but. well. that's the way life goes.
i still have to ship my computer back to the manufacturers before the warranty runs out on Friday. tick tock.
i have to go take my written test for my driver's license before my trusty Texas license expires on Saturday.
i have to order the cake.
i need to schedule my hair appointment for Friday. procrastinated again. what if CJ can't see me? *cries*
Loretta is leaving on Thursday. we're supposed to meet up with her for drinks Wednesday.
i need another job! pricegrabber is pretty much a no-go. so silly. i signed their little paperwork and everything to be put on the payroll, but we can't get our acts together on the training. so. i need another job!
i hate looking for jobs.
i should write a book or something.
