Sleep - the final frontier
Slept in this morning. Actually, was woken up early by the cell phone, watched X-Men Evolution (good cartoon), and then went back to sleep. My Love was kind enough to indulge me another two hours despite telling him to wake me up after one. *gotta love him!* Still feeling sore and out of it, but the antibiotics I think are finally starting to help so that's a damn good thing.
Spiderman can do all the things a spider can
Got together with our friend Rand and headed out to see Spiderman today. Got to the theater about 40 minutes from showtime and they were already out of seats. So, we took the following show - an hour and a half away - and meandered about the shopping center. We decided we had better get back and sure enough, an hour still outside of the start time, the line had already formed. Luckily enough, we weren't far back into it and got excellent seats. I really enjoyed the movie. Tobey Maguire was really really good as Peter Parker/Spiderman; very believable. Sam Rami did a great job keeping the pace fast and not letting it get dull or boring. The story was good, the characters were good, and it was definately entertaining. I highly enjoyed it (yeah for a movie I like!) and definately recommend it.
Geek dreams
My friend Rand also had a surprise for me when he came over - a 1gig processor and motherboard to support it. WHOOO HOOOO! Can you say good-bye overclocked athlon 375mhz? YEAH I sure as hell can! I'll have a pc with some actual processing power now, can you imagine? I'm so giddy. Only problem is that I don't think my case has enough juice to support it. Arg. So I might need a new case with a larger power supply. Poop. Which, with no job, means that lovely processor will be sitting in a box for awhile. *sigh* How frustrating. My Love's gonna take my pc apart tonight to see if he can get it to work, so if I do not post any further today you know why.
Countdown continues
12 days and counting 'til my birthday. *pouts* There is so much stuff that I want for my birthday and very little I expect to receive considering our tenous financial status. It's always right around holidays that it seems we are the most poor. Still need to pay the Time Warner bill (the one that keeps my cable and internet on) soon or risk losing it already and that just bites. I have all these ideas for things I want to do with my new domain and all but the depression of no money sorta, well, shadows the artistic attempts. Have the time to work, but not the desire and when I have the desire, I don't have the time. Moo. I wish I just could get by without the need for the whole corporate gig. Gods, I hate corporate bullshit. There's never room for a creative person like me.
Still looking
And yes, I AM still looking for a job. None yet - no real bites even. Arg. Well, I am going to do a one-day MIS consulting for a friend's local office (thanks again!) which will bring in a few bucks. Of course, I'm utterly paranoid of looking like a fool. I mean, I know a lot of things about computers and computer use and computer maintance, but it's not like I've ever had someone recommend me as an independant consulatant before; nor have I ever come into a company just for a day to "fix" their problems. Hrm. It's...daunting I guess. And I worry someone will ask me something thinking I'm some MCSE and I'll just blink at them stupidly. (yeah, yeah, I have insecurity issues or something). Seriously though, things aren't good. All the money spent (everything I had saved up) on Kush's surgery didn't help (but, on the good side, Kush is doing really well *smile*)
Food, glorious food
Ok, dinner FINALLY smells like it's almost ready (at 10pm) so I'm going to close here. Um yeah. Ok. Ta.
