Boring update
Sunday, November 25th, 2007 02:21 amWell, might not be too boring...all depends I guess.
Wow...over 2 weeks since I have updated. Yes, I fail. Speaking of, gave up on NaNo yet again this year. Was stuck around 2200 words. Doubled from last year I guess. I got sidetracked by RPS writing, then a Cake fic (none of which have gotten finished yet). I was looking back over a few things in the past I have written, and I can't believe I wrote them. Not that they were bad, but that they actually seemed better than what I am doing now. Kinda depressing. I need to take nots from myself, methinks.
I haven't really jabbered about this, but I have been a huge fan of the play Bare: A Pop Opera for several years now...or more. Recently, an album was finally put out that includes the whole play--since like 90% of the thing was sung--and this even includes the dialogue bits and a bonus DVD. Not the original cast except for the gal who played Ivy. I got mine sent to me a few days ago and I can. Stop. Listening. To. It. Thrilled about that.
My last paycheck was like 4 times the amount that I normally make since I worked 40 hours one week and 38 the next to cover for a coworker who had a death in the family. Not sure if I liked doing 8-10 hour days, but the money was sure worth it. Schedule is all normal until December.
I work 5 hours every Sunday in winter, and also in December, the place I work is getting new carpeting, so it will be closed most of the month. I still have no idea if I will be working those Sundays there or not...I was told that we may be used to help clean up, etc. I hope so--50 odd bucks plus I am nosy and want to see what is going on ^.^
What else....
We now have a Walgreens next to Walmart. Went there first time today. Found out I can order digital prints online from them for cheaper than anyplace else. Also that they have life sized stuffed dogs for 10-20 bucks. Would take up a corner of my bedroom, but I still want one lol.
I picked up a few decorations for my room. Got a plastic bunch of Pointsetta flowers that I broke apart to...stick places. I have some green garland pieces left over from a few years ago that I drapped over the top of my bookselves. Strunh a few flowers in there and it looks pretty good. So cluttered around here that I can't do much else. Might buy a mini tree to something *shrugs*
I met with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
michelleann68 at McDonalds Thursday as she passed through to visit family for TGing. Had a nice chat and she had bought a present for Ki--a stocking filled with cat toys--to replace the ones lost in The Bug Incident*.
*The Bug Incident--Ki's box where we keep some catfood, random toys and other stuff we don't use any more--I had puleld out one of her burried toys to find these little bugs crawing all over it (naturally I squeaked and dropped it). After stalling for over a week--yes, I didn't want to go in there--I hauled the box outside and started digging. I had seen the same bugs when, at the other house, Mom used to leave Mindy (house dog)'s food lying in the ground. It attracted all these bugs, that looked like half-sized pill bugs, and we had to stop doing it.
I had no idea how long they had been in there. Pulled out several bags of food that hadn't been opened, and a couple toys and a brush that were on top.
Mom likes to buy these pouches of soft cat treats and she leaves them open because she has a hard time opening them. Didn't t ake long before I found a pouch filled with those bugs (I am cringing as I type). So I tossed all the open packages, then poked around until I could get to the bottom of the box. And ewww...there was like an inch of dead bugs in the bottom. I refused to try to save anything else (except a bouncy ball that looked semi-clean) and tossed the box in our field so Dad could burn it.
So. Now we have a smaller box, and I need to make sure Mom doesn't go overboard with buying treats faster than we feed Ki. I also got another small box for toys, since Ki now has more than she knows what to do with. She looked very confused when I dumped all the toys at her paws. Been playing with her a lot the past few days. As I walked over to Pea (laptop) a little bit ago, she was on my bed and reached out to snag my shirt, asking me to play lol.
That was more than I wanted to remember about The Bug Incident.
House--Loved last week's. First time in a long while that I enjoyed a POTW. Too bad he was unconscious for most of the last half. I am thinking that that is why House hasn't been as good lately--the POTW's are all boring and I don't care if they live or not.
But I was hoping that, for the one time that it was Lupis, that it would be more...dramatic?
...I think that is all....
