► I sometimes go weeks if not months without thinking about the lottery, but when I reach rough patches I start to become obsessed with it.
The pension related stuff from yesterday, Dean off work for a second straight week, my approaching birthday, all the anxiety over the upcoming Ohio conventions my friend John is attending and picking up stuff for me... Oh, and my teeth are acting up this week too. There's just a lot of minor things going on right now that are building up and I'm a little overwhelmed and feeling a bit ragged.
On top of all of that, last evening the tenant in apartment 2 was banging the ever-loving hell out of the underside of our balcony with a crowbar and mallet. Why, I have no idea. Whatever the reason, I'm sure the structural stability has to be somewhat compromised now. It's funny how Mister Apt. 2 took it upon himself to tear out the tile undersides of the balcony a few weeks ago, was banging the shit out of ours last night, installed a possibly illegal fence in the back last month, and put a firepit and lawn furniture in the front of the building, is the same guy who gave me shit earlier this year when I had called a repairman when out water heater wasn't working. Regardless, I guess I'm not stepping out on the balcony anymore.
► And so it's over. The last of the 5
Michael Powell sketches I commissioned of my superhero
Utopia. Michael said he should be packaging and shipping them to me soon, along with the preliminary roughs. Fantastic!
I considered not posting this one cause it might be considered a bit embarrassing, and creepy, but what the hell.

Mail Online: Woman arrested four times in 26 hours for playing AC/DC's Highway to Hell and throwing a frying pan at her nephew - From the article:WMUR-TV reports a judge has recommended she use headphones and also ordered a mental heath evaluation.
If she completes it she will be released and can stay at home under electronic confinement.
Where she'll be able to blast more loud music at all hours and have a ready stockpile of kitchen supplies to throw. But yeah, I'm sure "crazy" had nothing to do with this.

Eonline News: Amanda Bynes Pulled Over, License Suspension Could Mean Trouble - She was pulled over and given a warning, a week after her licence was suspended after finally being charged in connection to 2 of many hit and runs she committed this year. I think
Amanda Bynes is talented and fantastic, but it's horribly obvious that something is terribly wrong with both her and the legal system in Hollywood. Does she actually have to run over and kill a disabled child or mow down a group of nuns before any action is actually taken?
