So if you’ve been by recently you’ve noticed that I’ve changed the layout. It’s nothing special, something for the next Layout Marathon (I just spelled out Marathong before I caught myself) at the Fanlistings, but I like it just fine.

By the way, get a free iPod, mkay?

On the bright side of things, I now know how to dissuade a telemarketer into selling me shit.

Oh man, what a week. I’ve decided to give up my second job and continue searching for another one. It’s no use, telemarketing is awful :doh: I know I’ve been bitching and complaining about not making a lot of money, but I really can’t do something that I know is very stupid and bothersome. I’m not going to try to sell you something when I’ve obviously irritated you.

So, I have some things I plan on doing. Kathy’s going to teach me how to review medical files and pay me handsomely to help with her backlog (hopefully) and after that, well I’m going to keep looking. No sense in not looking further; there’s more summer ahead anyway.

Other than that, life is peachy-keen. I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately, actually. Most recently I’ve been watching Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, a film that I have only seen partially once on stage. It was humerous in that Samuel Beckett sort of sense with dialogue being very rapid-fire at times and quite clever. The story - if you have never heard of it - is about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The premise of the play (because it indeed was a play first :)) is centered on the death of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, mainly because in Hamlet, their death is merely an afterthought. We learn of their death at the end of the play and quickly forget because other more tragic events come to play. In R&G are Dead, their deaths are central to the plot and emphasize the gratuitousness of their deaths. Shakespeare really didn’t need to kill the two men off, but it seems for convenience’s sake, he does, which the play tries to answer. Humerously. There is definitely humour in it I haven’t finished watching it because I stopped to take a nap :blush: but I’m going to finish later on today. I’m really beginning to like Gary Oldman as an actor. I’ve seen him thus far as Sid Vicious, Sirius Black, Dracula, Commissioner Gordon and now Rosencrantz (or is it Guildenstern? :S) and I really do like him.

Anyone have any movie suggestions? I’m in a dvd kick right now

Went to the Burlington Art Center today with the family. We were invited to a gallery showing put on by the family of a member of the Beth Jacob (You don’t even know how long it took me to get that sentence right :blush:). I had never known he was a painter, but he was, and quite a good one at that.

Afterwards we (the family - even the sister) went down to Hess Village and ate lunch. It was hard finding discussion material because we’re such boring people. Well, I don’t think we’re boring boring, but it was sad to see everyone else around us chattering while we just sat in amicable silence. Perhaps the heat was too much for us. Either way, we had our lunch and now we’re back home, doing what we usually do: I’m putting around on the computer before my shift and my parents are downstairs smoking their lives away. Kathy’s gone back to her regular life.

This week Kathy and I are going to bond more, I think. Well, she’s going to need a companion since she’s on vacation and I’m not going to be at work during the day that often. I swear, once I gave McDonald’s my new availability they decided I shouldn’t work at all :X So not cool. I’m supposed to be saving money, but that’s hard to do. Gord suggested actually making a plan, which I hadn’t thought of, to be honest. I’ve just been sort of care-free about the money that I spend and if there is something left over, well, maybe I’ll save it for a rainy day. Now, though, I want to make some good solid cash, because I want a trip to look forward to. I want to travel and see things that I can’t see here. It’s just hard to start saving money. Maybe once I get the ball rolling it won’t be as bad, but that initial jump is like going over a wall. In my shape? Well, it’ll be nothing short of a miracle that’ll get me over it :headwall:

Manually adding affiliates has become a big pain in my ass, so I’ve removed the links on the sidebar to my affiliates and they are all located here now.

The shitty part about working two jobs, both at odd times in the day is you never get to see anyone and you start to get lonely. This sucks. Do I really need more money? :money: :blah:
