FANTASTIC some asshole decided to put bleach in my machine. In which I was washing my brand new pants that I never even got to wear yet. My brand new pants which cost $20. And two new shirts. And when I ask the guy using the machine next to me and holding a bottle of bleach what happened, he CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUCK YOU LIAR. But I am pointing to the bottle of bleach and saying BLEACH how can you not understand? Fuck you. I cannot stand that shit. So you don't know english, fine, but you are retarded too? So now I get to spend another dollar fifty washing the bleach stink out of my fucked up clothes. I never hated Mexicans so bad when I lived in the "Mexican capital of the midwest" (Little Village). The mexicans in Pilsen are total fucking dicks. Ugh my hands stink like bleach. Get out of my fucking country you hilaryclinton voting worthless fucking drains oh no why would they if we keep giving them money and citizenship to have babies and then we put their babies through college for free, sweet fucking deal.

Aww..Zilla was my favorite Capital when I first started watching hockey about 12 years ago (yep, for as rabid a Sharks fan as I am, I've only been a Teal Lover for the past couple of years). Bummer time for the Caps, first that they didn't make it to the Finals (I would've loved to see the Sharks vs. the Caps for the Cup!), and now Zilla leaving..guess I'd better grab a Kolzig jersey while I can.

I woke up today, and the toilets were fixed. Turns out that this house is old enough that some of the pipes are still made of cast iron, and highly prone to deposits. The water downstairs is also primarily just water, and not the toxic stew it could have become, as the ick remained lodged in the pipes and just the water overflowed. We're still waiting on the cleaners, but the bathrooms function again.

I got more sleep than I thought I would, but didn't get to sleep until about six. Woke up for good at eleven-thirty, and I'm very glad I canceled work for today. Got back my deposit from the old place, and though most of it is going to D to repay this month's rent here, the sixty-or-so difference makes me able to wait until next week, as the only bill I'm waiting on is my credit card.

And on top of this, a box of awesome, courtesy of sammaelhain and ceilede showed up on my doorstep not a half hour ago. I now have an asston of comics to read, some audiobooks and dvds burned to disc to listen to and watch. I may try to pass out on my face for a little bit longer, though. Things are still kind of...squirrely...in my brain.

So I got a call yesterday around this time, from my mother who had just gotten home from work. She told me there was a message from the staffing agency I technically work for, and gave me the number, and so I called.

And was told by the lady there that she'd been calling because they'd had a processing position, but that it had since been filled.

As in, if they had bothered to update my phone number to the one I actually use instead of my cell phone, when they'd updated my address, I would have a job now. But since they didn't, I don't.

If I hadn't used up all the distilled fuck you on my ex-coworkers yesterday, I'd be sending some in the direction of the staffing place, but I haven't got any left so now it's somewhere between bitter amusement and 'yeah, story of my life.'

Today, though, I am trawling the cultural alliance and museum sites, and I think I have found the absolute most perfect job for me ever, which of course means it's a) already filled, b) got a hundred more qualified applicants already so no way in hell will I get an interview, or c) pays about $8/hr. I have no way of knowing any of those things, but it is still listed on the site of the museum where the job is located, as opposed to the cultural alliance site (which I don't think takes old listings down as they are filled), so I can take my chances on b and c.

Seriously, though. The only thing that could be better would be if there were a job that paid well to sit around the apartment, watch TV, occasionally make things, RP online, roll around on the floor and fragment language.

Want.

Next couple hours, I'll be doing rewrites and tweaks to my resume and cover letter (I cut things out to get the resume down to one page, but for one job I need to cut some more out to put my internship back on) and sending those out to the museumy sites. Over the weekend, it'll be craigslistcraigslistcraigslist, rapid-fire, because those don't generally take cover letters, so no rewriting.

I should pick some music.

Recently I have been in love with this one song Tanz die Illusion by Eisleben. I cannot find the Cd to buy, cannot find it illegally, and no one I know has even heard of this group! :( Life sucks when you find a song you love and have to play it over and over via youtube.




other than that im fine, still trying to get better.There is an interview in German before you get to the song just so you know.

LA Zoo - 2008

Since I usually cook vegetarian soups, I am no stranger to forgetting my soup on the stove all night and then just putting it in the fridge the next day and not worrying about it.

But last night I forgot my Huge pot of chicken, shitake mushroom, and spinach soup. This soup was Awesome! It's what I did with all the leftovers of chicken broth and meat for Toby. I think I posted that I was going to use the breasts of that chicken for something for me. Anywhoo, that recipe I experimented with turned out Fantastic! And now I'm gonna have to throw it out.

Ah well, the broth turned out to be so rich because of the sweet potatoes cooked in it, that I have a TON of broth leftover. And I have a half a bag of spinach left. And I can get more mushrooms. I don't want to buy any more chicken and the actual chicken meat didn't do much for the soup, so I guess I'll leave that out. I may add in some navy beans for the protien. I even still have some ginger left. So I got lucky this time because I was wondering what the hell I was going to do with the rest of the chicken broth since I ran out of mason jars to freeze it in and had to put the remainder in a big pot in the fridge. A blessing in disguise? I dunno, but I'm still irritated that I'm going to have to waste this Huge stock pot of soup.

Старый форматовский ролик о Дне Победы.



Всех причастных с Днем Русской Победы!

So today is a slow day at work. Ask me a question! Extra points for interesting or humorous ones. I will answer in a subsequent post. :-)

OK I am now caught up on BSG. I am very disappointed by this new season. so much so, I really don't care if I see another Episode. They need to get back to the meat and Potatoes of this once Glorious show. Blah!

Me: Law offices.

Caller: *something too fast to understand*

Me: Pardon?

Caller: I'm calling from the Teamsters Union with regard to referring new clients. Is the managing partner available?

Me: I'm afraid not. Can I take a message?

Caller: You're a fucking idiot! *click*

Me: o_O?!

I want a big hula hoop for my birthday, guys.

I'm getting an allergy test done next week hopefully. That goddamn rash/acne stuff is back on my face. It burns and itches, which leads me to believe it is an allergy. Mom said I used to be allergic to some things (camels!) and of course I have eczema, which ups your risk for allergies. In a way, I am hoping I do have one so I can fix the problem before it gets worse. I keep trying to rack my brain, thinking of what it COULD be... so far I've got milk, coffee, some sort of nut, cat fir, or something in our shampoo or conditioner... I don't wear lotion on my face, not very often anyway, and don't wear makeup very often either. I may have to go on antibiotics if they can't find anything out that way.. meh

+ my mind is aflurry with daydreams--nay, they are not quite daydreams anymore, they are moth daydreams incubating into the shape of chaotic, yet concrete plans!--with trips, journeys, voyages, waking up in new cities and countries, daytrips and weekend trips. I want to go back to London, where I haven't been in 10 years. Back to Paris where I haven't been in even longer. The first place I want to go that I have never been to before is Copenhagen. And it will be so much easier to go to Moscow! Maybe I could even go for my aunt's 70th birthday...

+ Apparently the town I will be living in has one of those tiny airports that are used by the discount inter-European airlines (although I think some of them also fly to North Africa). Flights to Spain? Under $30 EU (yes, I know there is a large tax that is more than twice the price--but still--totally doable!)

+ abandoned castles in the future! Also already have made contact with Nether-landish urbexers, am dreaming of Belgian abandonments, right across the border...

+ it's spring

- My mucous tissue is engaged in terrible warfare with pollen particles. Must find local honey.

+ words I suspect Fionn of possibly having said in the last few days: banana, Nica, good.

- he says them sneakily, and won't be cajoled into repeating them.

+ maybe-probably NYC next weekend...a day or two of golden sticky spring air in my favorite city in the world. will I catch a whiff of unselfish violets, out of nowhere?

- where did I put Fionn's passport photos? They were hanging out at the plant ICU on the kitchen table, and today, as we were preparing to embark on a trip to the post office, to lay claim to Fionn's bios, they were mysteriously nowhere to be found.

*dolphin noises*

... Man, I embrace my nerdhood with gusto. Someone has to.

I'm waiting on Amazon to fucking mail me the wireless adapter I ordered like a month ago so I can download SPN, but no dice. Other than that, life is dull and filled with trips to the job office. Yay.

How are you all doing?

people keep posting my robb page all over the place, this is fun. however, i need a mirror, since i cant update the uic page for some reason, and since they are going to delete it when i stop giving them money.

"Whoever posted this up on the net, while a little crude, must have people on the inside of his cult to get the photos."

Too bad I wont be invited again :(


Also I have three whole days of vacation before I have to start working. And I pissed everyone off because I was sad so now I get three days to remember not to be sad ever again. NOT ALLOWED.

So... I have my sheet which is a nice weight of linen, though it is rather white and suitable for a best sheet as it is now.
I also found up my old blanket... and I mean old! I would have liked it to be a tabby weave but it is twill which is still fine I guess... what is neat about it is that it was woven on a smaller loom and the two blankets had to be sewn together to make one for a typical twin size bed and on top of this, it has been darned like mad! (moths ya know!) and I can see a few holes and bits where it could use a little more help.
Like a worn out teddy bear, this is my favorite blanket, not bad for a simple undyed blanket that has been to nowhere-nice and back.

Now for a pillow... still wish I had that big bag of goose down (I used to keep geese) :S
need more reading anyhow
