hm

i'm not sure about this yet... 

thanks for the memories

this morning i was thinking "i wonder what i was doing a year ago."  and then i remembered, it was just a few days after my show opened, and i was lying on the futon basically comatose (thanks codeine!) to prevent myself from becoming violently ill (thanks codeine!).  that, and the weeks leading up to my show were such a great time, i'm so glad that i thought of it.

in unrelated matters, they've cut hours at target but i seem to be getting the same number anyway.  thanks to people's relatives dying and people who consistantly fail to show up for work so i get to stay and work her hours.  oh, i was so pleased about that, especially since it was wednesday night and i had planned to go home and watch alias like the good little fan that i am.  i shouldn't complain, i guess, since i'm spending a small fortune on supplies for this art fair in june.  i hope i make more than my mom did last year.  which was nothing.

i am also counting down the days until laura arrives in iowa.  it's 25.  i guess i'm feeling pretty lonely.

dreary weather for a dreary mood

 

today a woman with her two teenage sons came in to buy an ipod mini.

"what kind of batteries does it use?"

they read the box.

i don't say anything, because if i open my mouth i will laugh hyseterically at her.

so they buy a package of AAA batteries.

my dad fixed whatever was wrong last night, so i can finally check my email.  it would be more fantastic had i any email worth looking at.

today i went to work and i found out that i have 1 red card for every 1202 transactions.  the goal is 1 in 149.  i am about as far away from that goal as possible i think, but i really don't care all that much.

it's pretty rainy and gross today.  certainly takes the energy levels down.  but not the allergens in the air, my nose itches just as bad as ever.  and the stuff that i found that works for me, i can't get because it's a prescription and i don't have any insurance anymore. 

grr.

I must’ve had fun ‘cause now I’m broke.

1. Apparently I’m being punished for something, because for the last three days I haven’t been able to log into anything. And these last few days I’ve actually had some things to talk about, too. (It also explains why suddenly I have capital letters—I’m writing this in Word to post at Indian Hills later on.)

2. Sunday I spent all afternoon re-doing my research on cheap places for my siblings to stay in England, because the hotel I had picked out for them amazingly disappeared from all the websites I had looked at before. But I found this nice looking hostel with a lot of amenities for cheap in the perfect location, so I guess that the hostel is an option now. I'm also doing theatre and stuff in London, and the Kings of Leon will be playing while they are there.  Jealous?  Of course I am.

3. Yesterday I went to work and guess what? Our Target is well on its way to being a SuperTarget. Apparently, we’re getting a pharmacy, Pizza Hut, and Starbucks. At first I was in shock, then I felt rage.  Lots and lots of rage.  Like the Hulk or something.

4. I bought the Bravery CD yesterday. Some people have compared it to the Killers. Which, yes, I guess they’re pretty similar. But I think I might like this one just a bit better. Could be because I've listened to the Killers approximately 12,563 times.

5. Can’t wait until May, when everyone is going to be around. I'm going to ask for my days off pretty soon, just to make sure I get them.

it's a nice day, but i can't make myself enjoy it because all i can think about is how i have to close tonight.

i thought it was time to bring back an old image to show how i feel today.

we have germination!

those little white things are the seeds germinating.

i haven't killed them yet!

make me

working on my resume makes my brain hurt.

re-reading the little house on the prairie books makes me feel like a nerd.

getting paid makes me feel sad, because i know that it will be all gone again in about a week. 

drinking coffee makes me hyper.

day one

my project is to grow basil without killing.  it's not that my plants necessarily die in my care, but they really don't grow a whole lot.  at least my mom is around, and she's got a green thumb.

oh yeah...so friday night stephanie and i tried to go see sin city.  and unlike other people who couldn't see it because it was sold out, we couldn't see it because we didn't have our id's with us.  we are 21 and 23 and we were told that if we didn't have them, we had to have a parent buy a ticket for us.

you cannot stop me. you cannot destroy me. for i am the cockroach of love.

at least, that is what it says on my new button.  i had a nice weekend, i had lunch with cheryl in iowa city, got to see amelia, and went to hat's show opening.  there were a number of people there that i enjoyed seeing.  i also went to lynn schneider's show, a photography exhibit, and i enjoyed it so much i bought one of her extra prints from her.  kate's show is in may, and she said she would send me an invitation, so i guess i'm going back again which is great.  any reason to go back to cornell!
