Nerves

With every day that goes by since my interview, I get more nervous.  I hope I get that job.

Well, Dad looks good anyway

Gotta Get Going

I'm having breakfast with Dad and Pat. 

I'm still behind on episodes of the NewsRoom.

"Snark is the idiot's version of wit, and we're being polluted by it." -- Will McAvoy.  The Newsroom.

I'm bored.

I was too lazy today, and now it's only 8:14, and I'm bored.  Hmm.  I don't really want to watch tv, but maybe I'll see if there's a movie on or something.  Sharing is caring.

Happy Lazy Sunday!

Enjoy your day!  I'm enjoying mine even though I'm not doing anything but watching dumb tv.

It was a fun day!

Mom and I went to an art fair in Highland Park, ate hot dogs and gelato, saw a matinee of The Butler, went swimming, and had dinner at Winberries.  Mom said I look better in a swimsuit than in my clothes.  I"m not sure how I should take that.  She is queen of the back-handed compliments (said something about my looking better than I have in a while too).  Anyway, it was a good summer day.

wish me luck

I had an interview yesterday; I took the Excel test they requested.  Now I wait...

Hurray!

Interview Thursday.

mmmm frozen mojitos

mojitos are my favorite drink.  I had never had a frozen version, but it's like a mojito slushie.  It's the fresh mint that makes it so good.  I had a fun weekend.  Yesterday we went to Arlington Race Track and to Jazz Showcase, and today we went to play pool.  Friday I saw Kick Ass II -- don't waste your money (my opinion).  It's so weird that I'm not working, but I still totally look forward to the weekend; I think it's like permission for not working.  The rest of the week I spend feeling guilty.  Every bar should make mojitos:  you just need fresh mint.  How hard is that?  If you're reading this, have a good week!

Hi!

I don't have much to say except that I've noticed a new pet peeve:  I don't want to hear people use the word "sexy" anymore.  People use "sexy" to describe everything except things that are sexy, and that's just really annoying me.  For example:  Food is not sexy.  Okay, bye.

wiiiiiiiiide awake!

oh dear, my schedule is so screwed up.  I get to call about a job tomorrow.

Love's Labour's Lost

Okay, I think I said weeks ago that I was going to start reading this.  Apparently, I do better reading Shakespeare out of a book than online.  I've made more progress in the last five minutes than in however many weeks.  Also, I can't watch tv because SOMEONE is playing Skyrim.  Whatevs.

WHY am I still awake?

I'm hungry, but there's nothing to eat, which means I should just go to bed.   Good night.

Where tonight?

so, yes to drinks; the question is:  where?

"The Legal Rationale for Surveillance"

for your review

Bad daughter

I accidentally blew off my mom today.  I feel bad; I hope she's not upset with me.

I'm so tired.

Good night. Thinking of....

The dumdum award

And...the winner for most vague-sounding job title is:
CONSULTANT LIAISON

Guilt Stinks

I don't know why I didn't wash all the dishes.  I just didn't.  No excuses, and I feel so guilty.  ugh!  At least I cried:  it had been months, and I was wondering if I still could.  So there's that...

Eric and Noah!

No puedo dormir

I am guessing it's because I woke up a mere 12.5 hours ago.

so, I'm a few episodes behind, but...

"Are you prepared to talk about your Republicanism?"
"You say that like I've got Polio."

hee hee hee.  from The News Room.  or Newsroom.  or The Newsroom.  whatever.

memory

I wish I had a photographic memory so that when I thought back on conversations, I knew what people actually said.  I remember the gist (which I always spell wrong with a j) of what people say, but I never trust myself with what I remember.  I suppose I think back too often; I should be more 'in the now,' but screw that.

Forget the pancakes

I got Pita Inn for dinner!
and...you're welcome.  I know you were just dying to know what I've been doing today.  Thank goodness for my fascinating blog.  I should start posting articles again or write a poem, or something...

Almost all-consuming

I want pancakes!!!  NOW!!!

Lazy Sunday

I woke up an hour ago!   I will probably just see if anything's on tv.  Maybe I'll eat some toast.  Gotta make coffee.

why am I achy?

I went out for dinner with Jenny, and now I'm just daydreaming.  That's a pretty good day.  It's just not very eventful. 

oops

I just read my posts, and...I've been talking about this shit all week!  Time to move on and just act.  Fuck.

Okay, I"m giving up til Monday

This is pathetic; I've been totally obsessive or compulsive (not sure which; maybe both) about the damn plumber.  Time to let it go.  I need to figure out when I'm going to eat, cash checks, go out by myself, and so on (well, really, that's it).

ARGH!

and the plumber isn't responding to my multiple messages!  I know I"m being annoying, but on the third and final message, I wrote, "Please advise"...isn't that universal 'call me the fuck back now' language??!  I'm pretty sure it's late enough I'm not going to hear back from him until Monday even though the water is running non-stop.  I'd hate to leave on the off chance that he could still come though.   But I think I'm being unrealistic.  BLURG!!

Flake!!

The plumber has not shown up; I have stayed home all day.  Originally, he said he was only available Friday, so I wrote back, okay, Friday.  Then he left me a voicemail Wednesday saying that he was outside, but I wasn't here.  So then I wrote back again saying  Friday.  I never heard anything, and he still hasn't shown up.  Not to mention that last time he was here he screwed up the hot water faucet so that it turns the opposite way to turn on/off.  Irritating!!!

I am feeling a little unsure about whether or not to go to a certain place tonight.  I kind of want to because I've been in all day, but....I'm feeling a little unsure.  I'll probably go.  I need to deposit a couple checks anyway.

Oh well.

We won tonight, and my iPod is working again.  Soon, I will eat ice cream.  Wow, so boring.  Why am I writing this?  I must be lonely.  I wish I had a cat.  I wonder what time the plumber is coming tomorrow, or if he'll flake out.  I have to decide whether or not to go out tomorrow night.  I was all enthused about going out tonight; I'm not sure if I will be tomorrow.  We'll see.

Mom!

I love my mom's reactions sometimes.  I saw her today and asked at one point if my braid was okay.  She said something like, 'oh, if it wasn't, I'd stick my tongue out!'   haha who says stuff like that?  HER!

playing at home tonight

I hope someone I like a lot happens to show up.
