Oh yeah, the blog!
Attention genarti!! Have you heard about EBISUYA? Opening in Medford Square, January 22, special activities (of some sort) from 6-8! I think this is run by the same people who used to run Kotobukiya, so odds are it'll be good!
I am so excited to be able to buy groceries again, oh my word. Reasonably sized bags of rice, reasonably priced sauces, mochi flour, affordable cuts of seafood, dashi no moto!! I could cry with glee.
Of course, the purchasing of edibles is precluded by the necessity of obtaining a positive cashflow. I almost got to work at a month-long position through one of my temp agencies, but after two days the contracting company decided they would rather have someone who can be there through the duration of project. I would be missing three days in February because of some little thing like, oh, my sister's bachelorette shindig. I'm looking forward to flying back out to San Francisco, it's lovely! Someday I'll go and have a real vacation longer than three days and get to look around. [[Right, and someday I'll have a job, see my comments about groceries.]]
I got a letter in the mail the other day from the bank that holds my private loan. Essentially, it read: "O HAI WE REJEKT UR REKWEST 4 DEFURMENT BCUZ UR LOAN IZ ALREDDY DEFUR'D." To which I said: "...You lying bleepitty-bleep-bleeps!" Please note that my requested deferment was for one month and I sent it in way back before Christmas and my January payment was due the 12th and has therefore already been paid. So apparently my loan is deferred until February 12th, at which time my next payment is due, and it doesn't matter at all because I have already paid.
Thank you, capitalist bureaucracy.
Speaking of bureaucracy, what the hell, Massachusetts. While I'll readily admit that the Coakley campaign was nonexistent, are you out of your bleeding minds?! I need my healthcare, okay?! I believe that the Democratic Party has the best chance of creating reliable healthcare options in the US and I know I have the DP to thank for the fact that I'm insured right now. Crazy girl needs her meds, all right?
[[I honestly thought Coakley was going to win. Here in the Greater Boston Area where we're neck-deep in idealistic university students and ambitious Harvard Law grads, there was just no question. I don't remember seeing a single pro-Brown advertisement or flier anywhere. I didn't even know his name for weeks, just thought of him nebulously as "that Republican dude" and dismissed it. Bad Meg, no scout badge for Paying Attention.]]
To sum up my last week and a half: YAY, GROCERIES. WTH, BANKS.
And Scott Brown? I call down the Law of Wheaton upon you. Don't be a dick, Senator.
