At least I know that if I ever have babies, I can dress them in something cool. The overalls are great!

Worst. Dinner. Ever. I had leftover Pine Nut Cous-Cous, a glass of water and a bowl of Cool Whip. Why do I feel not so great? At least they weren't all mashed together. I did have the thought that I should mix the leftover tomato soup from last week with last night's cous-cous. Didn't do it. Maybe I'll try it next week, when the food supplies dip below the choosy level. I only give tonight's dinner 1 unemployment check.

Bong Hits 4 Jesus. I think this is pretty funny. Well, I was going to hell anyway...

Still loving The Strokes.

I guess I am really staying here. I got my insurance switched to NYS insurance and it's like $15 cheaper a month. Cool. Next week, I'm going to officially register my car and get a new driver's license. (only if I have a good hair day anyway)

The Strokes kick ass. Amazon just sent me their CD and it totally rocks. It's different than stuff I usually hear and I'm enthralled. Amazon also sent me Winger's greatest hits. Say whatever you want, Kip and the boys write some catchy tunes.

Wow. I actually started changing the misc. room into an office/lounge. Maybe this will make me more productive. Being at a desk and not being on the couch in front of the tv. We'll see. There's a window in here so I can look outside. The only complaint that I have is that the floor slopes badly. My chair has wheels and I am constantly rolling back. There has to be a solution somewhere. My old business cards have found new purpose leveling the desk and bookshelves. Maybe not the classiest solution, but it works for me. For now.

"What does a male anglerfish do when he finds a mate? He never lets her go! The male lives as a parasite on the body of the much larger female, taking his food from her bloodstream. In the time their bodies fuse together, forming a sort of two body hermaphrodite. Although this arrangement primarily benefits the male, it also frees both sexes from constantly seeking out new breeding partners whenever it is time to mate. How do they find each other in the darkness? Although at one time it was thought that each lure was designed to attract special prey, it now appears that the unique shape has evolved to attract a male of the same species who recognizes his future mate by her lure."

Still sticking to my decision.

But I've started smoking again. I'm a sucker for the tobacco industry. I hate that. Maybe if I go on the all cigarette/coffee/red wine diet, I'll finally lose some weight. That's a more fun diet than that whole eating well/exercising shit.

It is going to be pusing 60 degrees today. It's too nice for Rochester in January. Phoebe and I might go to the park later to take advantage, because it will get shitty again. Probably by tomorrow.

So far I've been more productive than usual, but I'm not breaking any records.

I've hit the wall financially. This week has to be about finding any sort of low paying shitty job I can find. Unemployment is about minimum wage and I can't get anything paid. Rent is going to be tricky this week. But I think it can be done. If can find some sort of adminstrative assistant position during the day and then maybe find something to do in the evening, (waitress, bartend, strip, whatever) I might be ok. I think I should've stayed in Atlanta.

I think I'm going to spend this weekend doing uber-productive things like organizing my bookmarks in IE and cleaning out TK421 (hard drive) And then after that, I'm thinking I'm going to finally tackle the mics. room and turn it into the office/bar. And THEN after that, I have big plans for the bedroom. I'm going to 86 my bed frame and just put the boxspring and mattress on the floor and make some sort of floating bed island.

Who am I fooling? I'll probably end up on the couch all weekend, taking power naps and feeling sorry for myself and eating popcorn and wishing I had cable. :)

This guy likes milk. Hitoshi is kind of cute, but his message boards are a little on the bizarre side.

I wish I had seen this show. I can't understand why people want to shop at Wal-Mart.

Here's an interesting AOTC article. Lots of Lucas quotes. He rules.

Today I just don't feel like surfing the internet. I feel like I've seen everything that I want to and I'm tired of the whole thing. Which is kind of stupid. I don't have any enthusiasm for anything right now. I need to find something to do that makes me feel like a productive member of society. Or maybe just that makes me feel good.

Yes, coincidencedesign.com is a hoax. Whew!

Here's what color the universe is. I'm not a big fan of it. The universe should be a nice dark purple or maybe a dark navy blue. I give the color of the universe only one unemployment check.

Is this real? It kind of sounds like a joke, but the site isn't really funny, so maybe it is real.

I think the Visor is dead.

It could be worse. It could be the Newton. It could be even worse than that, it could be the Powerbook.

A glass of water mysteriously tipped over and my Visor got soaked. I think the Visor might have departed for the next world. I'll give it more time to dry out. Hopefully it will come back from the dead. I need to feed my PortaFish and PortaKitty.

I'm back from Orange County. I really liked it. I don't know why everyone says it's so terrible. I mean, it didn't change my life or anything. It was just some mindless entertainment that took my brain away from chewing on itself. The ending was kind of dumb. But Jack Black was pretty funny. And Tom Hanks' son is adorable. Orange County looks like a fun place to live. [because I'm sure the movie was an accurate representation of the actual place.] I give it 3 Unemployment Checks.

And going to the movies in the afternoon rocks. There was only 3 other people in the theater. [no correlation to the 3 unemployment checks movie rating]

I would like to have the problems of the obscenely wealthy.

Even though I've heard nothing but bad things, I think I'm going to go and see Orange County today. I dig Jack Black. And I feel I need to escape the horror that has become my life. [Wow. That's awfully dramatic. And maybe a little exaggerated...] I think there is a show at 3. That gives me time to get up and get ready. And it also gives me an excuse to wear different clothes. And maybe put on some makeup.

If only I had the room. Maybe I could put him in the empty lot next door. I think the shipping would kill me. Although, it is in Niagara Falls, I could pick it up...

Signs that civilization is coming to an end:
1. The Chamber
2. The other Chamber show on ABC
3. The fact that I am actually watching this Chamber shit.

How far away are the shows from the Running Man? (The story, not that movie shit with Arnold S) There were some good ones. We will eventually become a Free-TV society.

This show is the worst piece of shit that I've ever seen. Damn FOX for taking the Simpsons time for this fucking shit. Damn not having cable and damn FOX to hell for being the only channel that comes in. And damn my stereo for not being in the living room. And damn myself for actually having this shit on.

Another Star Wars link. Here's my favorite quote: "Obi Wan's personal challenge to make Luke buy into his 'point of view' bullshit when trying to cover for his past lies" Ha Ha. My favorite forgotten character is Momaw Nadow (aka "Hammerhead")

My hard drive's name is TK-421.

WHEW! I knew Lucas would come to his senses. My belief system is restored!

This might have to be my next car. You know, when I get a job and stuff.

Still no job. Nothing. It's been 4 months now. That's a lot free time time. I could've learned a new language. If I got pregnant on my last day at work, I'd be in my second trimester. [what?] I could've lost some weight and gotten in shape. I could've walked the Applachian trail. That's funny. At least I still have my sense of humor.

What have I done with this gift of time? I moved back to an extremely economically depressed area. Unpacked the stuff I needed. Signed up for unemployment. Went to Colorado for 2 weeks. Went to The Magic of Myth in Toledo. Watched a lot of shitty tv. Rented many movies. Read and reread a bunch of books. Oh, and looked for a job. That's about it. Next week I'll start doing something really interesting and creative. Or maybe I'll just start smoking again.

I'd hate for this to be a blog about the Price is Right, but this morning this girl bid $25,000 on a fireplace in Contestant's Row! What a dumbass. What posessed her to think that the bid would be more than the space on the display? They couldn't even display the bid. I can only hope that she was just trying to be clever. Bob made a funny comment when he said that she must think a house goes with it. Hee hee. So I'll have to remember if I ever am on TPIR, don't bid more than how many numbers can fit in the display. You'd think that would be a given. In an ironic twist, she got the bid exactly right on the next item and won $500. She lost the game she played. She really wasn't very smart.

I was watching the Price is Right this morning. (That's what us unemployed people do) Anyway, the first game was called Triple Play and if the woman had won, she would've won 3 cars! It was an Escort, a Jeep, and some van looking vehicle. She didn't win. I've never seen Bob have a game with 3 cars!! Holy cowfish!

Ok, time to take out the dog. She's digging the snow.

Ok, I've finally started the final stages of unpacking. I was cleaning off the top of the entertainment center and I must've bumped Uber-Antenna, because now FOX doesn't come in as good anymore. It used to be the best channel. Almost clear. Maybe I should go bump it again.

I (1973) share a birthday with Julia Child (1912) and Napoleon Bonaparte (1769). Also Nixon was president and Shrinky Dinks were a hot new toy. Here's everything else.

Here's some interesting Nikki Sixx news. I guess I'll never have his children now...

I don't agree with this.

If anyone needs me today, I'll be here. Even though Time Canada leaked out the news about the new iMac. Freakin' Canadians. I think Steve Jobs will be giving them the business. Poor Time Canada. They are going to be sleeping with the fishes.

Yeah, I'm in a dark mood today.

Depending what kind of mood I'm in, these are the danger years: 2012, 2041, 2052, and 2070. I'm not sure if I'll make it to the 2070. I'll be 97. So I'll either be 39, 68, 79 or 97. So at least I have 11 years left. Whooooo... that's pretty dark.

bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. fucking bored.

Maybe 4 months is a little long to wait for AOTC, especially since the N'Sync news. But I still think these guys are cool. Hey, I'm unemployed and have nothing to do, maybe I should do the same thing here. Two problems. One, it's too fucking cold here. Two, I don't have any equally fanatical unemployed friends. This is something I wouldn't want to do by myself.

Steak-umms totally kick ass. I used to have Steak-Umm night every month or so. There hasn't been one in probably over a year. I went to the grocery store the other day and saw that there are now Steak-Umm Wraps. I tried one, and while they are no where near as good as the traditional Steak-Umm, it was pretty darn tasty, considering I just put the wrap in the microwave for 3 minutes and BAM! I got a wrap all gooey with cheese and Steak-Umm. Mmmmmmm... Anybody interested in paying me for food reviews, please send all inquiries here.

There are only 3 more days to Steve Jobs' keynote. I hope it lives up to all the hype. The iWalk would be pretty bad ass, but I'm pretty sure it is a hoax. If the announcement is just the flatscreen iMac, I'll be a little letdown. It'd be cool, but not an earthshattering and explosive announcement.

Can I still count myself as a non-smoker if I accidently smoked a pack last week? I haven't bought a new pack yet, and I finished the old one yesterday. Do I have to start all over now? I couldn't handle the N'Sync in AOTC news. My life is just falling apart before my eyes. [joke] I might as well start smoking again. No, I don't want to do that. Although, I went over 2 weeks without smoking. I proved that I can quit anytime I want. There I go again rationalizing something I want to do.

Yet more proof that 2002 is not shaping up so well. I am a Lucas defender, but I don't know about this. It better be a bloody horrific death.

Hell, here I come.

My car won't start today. It sounds like the battery is dead. I hate being alone. There's no one to call for help. This is what they make boyfriends and husbands for. (along with other things) My car is really pissing me off. The tires need to be replaced, the windshield wiper fluid is frozen in the lines and apparently I need to do something with the battery now. Grrrrrrr... And it REALLY needs to be cleaned out. So far this year isn't shaping up to be too much better than the last one. Just kidding.

If I can't get the car started, I'll have to walk over to Amy's to feed the cat and the fish. At least it will be warm over there.

I guess it's snowing in Atlanta. Figures. I leave and they get some snow. I live an hour away from Buffalo, and we get none. But I guess that's a good thing considering my tire situation. Oooo! I can call Elmers! They kicked ass when I used to live here. I hope they are still open. I wonder if they will remember me? I don't think so. It's been awhile and I have a different car now.

I think I'm going to qualify for the most boring blog award. I don't even have any good drunk stories.

I think I'm going to try to make this bed. I'm tired of just having the mattress and boxspring on a frame. I'm not sure if this is too ambitious, I guess I'll find out. Add it to the list.

Happy New Year!

Good riddance to 2001. Except for a few isolated occasions, the year was one of the worst years ever. I'm still recovering from New Year's Eve. It was a pretty good time. Even if I was alone. Maybe next year will be different. I want to go somewhere next year for New Year's. Maybe Hawaii or maybe London or Key West or Cancun. I'm still figuring out where. I guess I should start saving for it. That will probably be a major deciding factor in where I go.
