My computer died.
I've lost everything.
I now have a functional computer, but I had to put in a different hard drive and reinstall windows.
All of my files are gone. Questionable if they can be recovered.
I think I'm still in shock? Disbelief? I can't decide.
As a result I have done NOTHING in terms of art. I've sort of come to a standstill.
Start a new job monday. Temporary, 2 months. I am not at all excited about it. It's a call center, but it's money, and we're strapped in a bad way. Something is better than nothing.
Fortunately we qualify like woah for foodstamps, so I've applied. Keeping my fingers crossed that it goes through without any problems. Might even be able to get energy assistance. Also win. (I didn't think we did qualify, but I was calculating wrong. D'oh!)
Apparently Tuesday is Valentine's day. I am full of meh. We don't celebrate. At all. I don't even go for the cheap candy the next day. I just don't care, and yet I'm seriously annoyed when it comes to other people celebrating. Why? Why do you want to spend assinine amounts of money on overpriced things? Roses and chocolates are nearly doubled in price. Same with some restaurants, serving valentine's day specific meals marked up like crazy. Seriously. Pointless. I think I dislike valentine's day more than I dislike columbus day.
Tuesday is also my bar night. It's the one night a week I can go out and stay out as late as I want with no questions or explanations. It's my night to myself to be out and about. I go to our local bar, the dart team, bartenders, and a few other locals know me now. Which is cool. I like that. Problem is, I'm broke. And all my friends are doing something for valentine's day, so none of them can come with me. I don't mind going to the bar alone, but how weird does it look to go by yourself with no money? Tuesdays aren't usually all that busy. There's usually a dart game going on, so it's steady, and I could just stand around and watch that. But does not drinking get looked down on? I feel like it would be weird. In another two weeks I'll have money and will be able to take my own self out no problem. But until then, I have the problem of no money, and the very very very strong desire to go to the bar.
In your opinion, would it be weird to go to the bar alone without buying drinks? On a slow night? Where the locals know you-ish?
