My New Remote

Yeah, so I decided to buy a BIG ASS remote for the television - this way, it will be harder to lose!! LOL!!! Check it out:



How's that for a monster?

Night!!

D

Need a New RoomMate!!!

I swear I'm over this. First it's really too much for my budget - and now she's deciding what I should spend my money on. I certainly wasn't thinking that someone so much younger than me would try and be my mother! So yeah, looking for a new place - it would be nice to get into something BY MYSELF - because I do better that way... however, it's expensive to live in Los Angeles, so I'll probably have to get into another apartment sharing situation. No big deal - as long as I'm left alone!

Anyway, this is interesting;




Back to work with C - who came over tonight after all, lol.

D

C's Back!!

OMG - I HATE it when she's gone... things don't seem to go right at ALL when your best friend is clear across the country, lol. But she's home now, and I am SO happy! Just got off the phone with her - she called as soon as she got off the plane - wants to get together this weekend... well, since today is Saturday, and it's late, and she JUST got home, and she's tired, it won't be today... and since I have to work tomorrow, and I'm closing, I guess we're getting together when I get off work - or something. I really don't care - just want to see her! I have so many things to talk to her about - things in the works for her site, etc... that I can't talk to anyone else about - I'm about ready to BUST! But yeah, she's home - back in L.A. - and hopefully she'll stay here for awhile dammit!

D

Unpacking

So, I'm still looking for the remote to my TV - it's exhausting, and frustrating, and driving me crazy.  I have tons of boxes - well not tons, but might as well be, lol - and I've searched through them over and over because I KNOW the remote is somewhere!  What I HAVE found in these boxes though is pretty cool - stuff I forgot I even have - so it's been like an interesting treasure hunt, lol.  I am actually running out of space in my room because I'm taking so much out - will probably have to choose what I want to KEEP out, and what has to go back in...  but I can't say I'm not having a little fun, looking at all this stuff.  I'm curious to see just what's left in storage - considering some things I thought were THERE are actually HERE.  Am I babbling?  Yes probably, lol.  But yeah - so I have to get back to the search.  I will NOT STOP until the remote is FOUND!!

Work - Work - Work

I've got ONE site done - my official site, or online portfolio if you will...  HERE it is!!  Unfortunately, this is not something that I get paid to do - but it helps me get my samples to others to boost my business.

STILL waiting to hear from the other client regarding the work I've done for him - don't know what's up with that.

D

Work Day

Today I'll be working - trying to get to the finish line of the website, or at least as close as I can considering I have NO content yet to speak of.  Hopefully the client will be back soon so we can get this thing online, and I can get paid!

So yes, very busy today - will try to update later on this evening...  if there's something to update, lol.

First Good News Then Bad News

I'm so excited about Christy's movie - though the werewolf thing scares me a little, it looks like a good story - something I can enjoy.  I'll be keeping an eye on the Sci-Fi Channel so I won't miss the premiere of it.  Perhaps she'll have a premiere party or something and I'll be able to watch it WITH her - that would be cool.

Anyway, so I'm in a decent mood - and then a friend of mine, whom I've known for 25 years or more, calls me and tells me that her cat - Heidi - died today.  This is heartbreaking for me for several reasons.  First of all, I was living with my friend when she got Heidi from the animal shelter.  The cat had been injured in some way, and had a bum paw - I think it got trapped in something and it lost all feelings in it.  Anyway, so my friend brought it home because no one else wanted it.  Took care of the cat, and actually nursed the paw back to the way it should be.  The cat had an interesting personality, as all cats do.  One thing it liked to do was drop on you from the loft above - also liked to trip you up on the way down the stairs - but it was always making us laugh, and we loved her.  My friend also adopted a dog, Max, around the same time she got Heidi - and Max was put down just last week.  So the two animals that we shared while we lived together are both gone, and I'm having a hard time digesting this news - as my friend moved away several years ago, and I haven't gotten to see the animals since...  though she's always kept me updated on them.

Now, I'm not one of those people that consider animals to be like their children...  I do. however, care about them as much as anyone, and I'm going to miss Heidi and Max.  They were both very old, both living past what anyone expected - and I will remember the good times that we had with them.  It was time for them though, they were tired and ready to go - so now they're gone.  Yes, I am sad about it.  I am sad that I will never see them again.

"Wolvesbayne" Trailer!!! EXCLUSIVE - WOW!!!!!!!!!

So THIS is it!! I can't wait to see it - I'm so excited!!!!

It's About Friggin' Time!

I actually SLEPT last night - didn't wake up until about a half hour ago.  And it was wonderful!  I'm thinking it's because I'm back on my daily regime of St. John's.  I know I just started taking it again, but obviously there's some sort of psycho-somatic reaction - you know, all in the mind - but who cares?  If I think it's working, it's working, lol.  I've always sworn by it, and this is why, lol.  I actually recommended it to another friend that was having some problems, and she loves it.  Taken as instructed, it's really helpful...  though of course, it has it's dangers and side effects just like any other medication.  I could write a whole TON on this - but I won't - primarily because I'm not a chemist or a pharmacuticalist and can't tell you everything about it, lol.  I CAN tell you that I've been on it, off and on, for over 10 years - and I do benifit from it.  But before taking ANY type of medication - I suggest you talk to a doctor first.  To see if you can handle it.  Enough about that...

I got a lot of work done yesterday on the new site I'm working on - you can see the "coming soon" page HERE.  I've done more than that, lol - but what I've done is not up for view yet because it isn't finished.  Once it is, you'll be able to see the whole site.  I'm having a lot of fun with it - and hopefully it will be live by this weekend.  But we'll see.  As soon as it IS live, I'll get paid the other installment, and THAT will make me very happy, lol.  Plus, I'll have another cool site to add to my online portfolio (which I'm also re-designing at this time).

Back to work at Disney's Soda Fountain & Studio store on Sunday - yay for that.  I need some fundage!!

Okay, that's enough for now.  I have to get to work on the site(s).

It's Bedtime

And I can sleep in tomorrow - whoo hoo!!  I'm so happy!  Now watch, I won't be able to sleep at all, lol.  Actually, I probably won't have trouble tonight as I just watched two movies, and had a big plate of spaghetti w/the roommate - so I'm feeling tired and full...  pretty content.  After posting this, I will crawl into bed and close my eyes...

Hard to believe that meeting was THIS morning - feels like it was yesterday, or the day before - because this day was so long.  I mean, I HAVE been up for 17 hours and some minutes.  Yikes.  And no nap.  Ugh.

I'm tired of talking about being tired - it's time for bed.

'Night.

D

Wow - What a Boring Meeting

I knew it was going to be bad - but I had no idea it was going to be THAT bad.  Hey, at least I got paid for it, and that's cool since that's the only money I'll have on my check next week.  I'm also scheduled for next week!  Sunday, and Saturday I believe (and our weeks start on Sunday by the way) - so two days!  Which is much better than one, and WAY better than none!  Anyway, I know I said I would post what the meeting was all about - but it was so boring, I don't want to put anyone to sleep.  Seriously.  That BAD.  Luckily, from what I understand, this type of meeting only happens once every three months or so...  yay.  Can't even imagine doing it again anytime soon.

Blah blah blah.  I'm tired.

Ick - Early Mornings

I KNOW I've said this before - like yesterday - but I HATE getting up early in the morning.  It's so funny - last week, up until Sunday actually - I've been so manic that I've had a hard time sleeping at all.  But when I have to get up early, like yesterday and today, I've fallen asleep really late - thus getting only a couple of hours of sleep.  I'm so tired!!  I was on the phone with someone until after 2 o'clock this morning, and THEN went to sleep - and had to get up at 6:30am!  Needless to say, I'm not exactly MENTALLY ready for this meeting today.  Oh, I look fine - but don't FEEL fine.  I'm hoping I don't pass out while the GM is talking or something.  That would be embarrassing.

So anyway, I'm on my way out - won't be back until after 10 - will probably do an update on what's going on with the shop.

D

Ready to Call it a Night

Okay, I'm going to bed - hopefully I'll be able to fall asleep relatively quickly as I have an early morning tomorrow, as I've mentioned a few times already, lol.

I REALLY have to get this website finished - that's my plan tomorrow after I get back from the meeting.  Just to work on that site.  I need the friggin' money pretty bad.

Anyway, so that's about it.  Goodnight all!!

D

Randomness for the Most Part - LOL!

I started back here again after a year and a half hiatus - wow, long time - and had added a bunch of communities to my friends list, to see what was going on while I've been gone.  From Wiccan communities, to lesbian communities, and a friend adding community, etc...  I've since deleted them all.  Why?  A couple of reasons.  One, just too much to keep up with all the time - crazy out of control posts that was impossible to read all of them.  And two, I've added a few people that seemed pretty interesting, and I would like to just keep up with a minimal amount of writings.  Therefore, deletion of the communities.  Now, there are  few that I won't delete - mainly because I'm a moderator at most of them, lol.  Does this paragraph even make sense?

Anyway, so welcome to my new friends (still waiting for one add, but it's cool) - I'm looking forward to hearing more about you, and seeing what you think about me.  No judging or rudeness please. 

Thanks!!

D

P.S.  I'm still excited about one particular person I met on one of the communities - though she hasn't added me here yet, we've been IMing for hours.  :)


OMG!!!!!!!!!

So I get an email from Christy - with pictures in it.  I only saw that there was attached files, and I got really excited because I'm still waiting for more pictures from her latest B & W photo shoot - that I've seen samples of and they're GORGEOUS!!!

Anyway, when I opened the email, and viewed the pics - I freaked OUT!  I swear I'm not used to seeing my best friend as a werewolf, I don't think I'll EVER get used to it, lol - though I AM looking forward to seeing the movie (which will be shown on Sci-Fi sometime this year).  Needless to say, my reply to her was along the lines of "now I'm going to have weird dreams" - lol.  I've made a couple of icons (see the one on this post) to show everyone.  Kinda scary huh?

I didn't get much sleep - decided that the best thing is just to stay up so I can sleep tonight, because I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow for the meeting at work.  So...  I'll probably be updating more today, when I think of stuff, lol.

D

P.S.  When downloading, I named the pics "ohdamnchristy" and "wowchristy" respectively, lol.





Tired

I just noticed that I'm updating on the hour, lol.  Anyway - the cable guy has come and gone, so I think I'm going to go back to sleep for a couple of hours - then I have to finish working on the Advice Column website now that I've scanned the main graphic.  I have to finish that site because I really need that pay.  Considering I had no hours last week at the Soda Fountain, so no check on Thursday - and next week I'll only have TWO hours, so very small paycheck.  Hopefully I'll get another website job soon after this one - I'm in talks with a couple of people as we speak, so I have my fingers crossed.

OMG - I HAVE to go to sleep or I'll ramble on here all day!

D



From Out of the Blue

I just got off the phone with Kristine - now this is a shocker because ever since I stopped working for her back in September of 2008 the only other time she's personally called me, was by mistake, lol.  However, not too excited as she only called me about an email address that she needed the password for.  Oh she was polite - asking me how my New Year's was, and how my new job is, etc...  before the actual reason for the call came up.  I wasn't surprised - she only calls when she wants something.

A little history about me and Kristine.  I adore her, I really do...  I've known her for a good part of my life, and we've been through a LOT together.  That said, she's not the kind of person that I have the patience to work for.  I don't want to slam her personality, but we just don't work well together.  I knew this before, but when she asked me to help her out - because of my inability to say no, lol - I agreed.  THIS time it was just supposedly a temporary thing, but it went on a LOT longer than I liked, and things got bad.  So I stopped.  Every time this happens - and it's happened a few times in our lives - she gets, not exactly MAd, but upset - and stops talking to me.  She's let the kids call me a few times, but that's been it - except for when she called my number by mistake a few weeks ago.  And now today - but like I said, she only called me today because she wanted something.

I have learned my lesson, and will not work with her again - however, I will always care for, and support her.  I still think she's an amazing entertainer - and she can be very generous when she feels like it.

So yeah, Kristine, wow.

And I'm STILL waiting for the cable guy!!

D

OMG

I HATE getting up early! And tomorrow I have to do it too, so that sucks. I'm up now waiting for the cable guy to get here to take away the box - AND the remote... so it's not even beneficial for me to be up! Go figure...

Just got off the phone with Christy - she's leaving today to head back to NY for an audition... can't tell you what for until she gets it or not. I'm torn between how I feel about this - of course I want her to get it, she needs work and another Broadway play would be awesome for her... but at the same time, I don't want her to be gone as long as she was with "Avenue Q", and that was only a couple of months!! But if she DOES get it, I will be supportive - and just try to deal with it. Maybe this time I'll be able to save enough money to fly up and see her... I'm just speculating - obviously my fingers are crossed that she DOES get it, lol. She'll be returning this weekend either to pack again, or stay. We'll have to wait and see.

That's about all for now - I'm hoping the cable guy gets here soon because I honestly think I could go back to sleep if he does. And that is unusual... usually when I'm up, I'm up for the day - but right now I could definitely pass out...

Set Her Up - Now It's Good Night

Got her set up with her new LJ - let's see if she keeps up on it, lol... and I've been SEARCHING for my other remote control for my TV because I'm losing the cable box remote tomorrow. I can't believe I will have to get up to change the channels for the time being - what is this, the 70's??? It's not that I'm lazy, it's just a pain that's all - especially if I'm working and in the middle of something. Who watches TV without a remote these days? That will be me, lol.

Anyway, I'm tired now and going to bed. So, goodnight all!

EeEk!! Poor Little Mouse!

So I just got back from throwing out a bowl - in it was a few pieces of cereal (peanut butter crunch), about an inch and a half of milk, and a dead mouse. That's what I said, a dead mouse. The poor thing drowned in the milk because the sides of the bowl were too steep for it to get out. I was going to wait until my roommate got home to dispose of it - but I couldn't have it in my room anymore, and once I took it out of my room, I figured I would just take it all the way out to the dumpster. So that's what I did. I guess I've accidentally invented a new and ecologically sound mouse-trap. Ecologically sound because no poisons were involved. Still very disturbing though - because I KNEW the mouse was in my room. It ran in here a few days ago to get away from the cat... it ran in here for SAFETY reasons! And what happens? It tries to get a little something to eat, and is drowned for its efforts. I feel so bad because mice don't bother me - I have three hamsters for chrissake!! I know I didn't do it on purpose, but I still feel responsible. And Karma is a bitch, because while tossing the bowl into the dumpster, I inadvertently tossed my cell phone in there too. Lovely. Climbing into a trash dumpster is bad enough, but knowing a dead wet mouse was in there too made me even more hesitant. However, I had to get my phone, so in I went. Got the phone. Learned a lesson. End of story.

Oy, It's So Annoying

There's this guy, and I'm not going to say his name, who has been annoying the CRAP out of me for the last three months on YouTube. He was a friend of C's on MySpace, and started leaving sexual comments on her pictures - regularly. Needless to say, she deleted him and blocked him. Now, because he knows that I happen to be a personal friend of hers, he's been messaging me on YouTube to get her to add him back/un-block him. I've told him numerous times that it wasn't going to happen - that what he wrote had disturbed her, so she made that decision, not me. He's used so many stupid excuses and whatnot - but she still refuses to unblock him. I don't blame her - I saw some of the comments. He sent me a message again today - saying he would do ANYTHING to get Christy to like him, including giving her away at her wedding... this is what I told him:

"You've got to chill out. Seriously. This is getting to be too much for me. I've talked to her, and she's already said no. I'm not going to push it because then she'll turn her annoyance onto me - and that's not going to happen. Move on and learn from your actions. Stop messaging me about it."

If he has the NERVE to send me another message after this, I am going to delete him from everything I can think of - my youtube, her youtube, her forum, etc... because he's just been way too pushy and it's really starting to un-nerve me.

Usually her fans are pretty cool - this is the first person in almost five years that has gone so overboard with things. And I don't appreciate him dragging me into it just because I am a friend of hers... but that's what people do - they go for who they CAN communicate with if the one they WANT to talk to ignores them. Well, not anymore - I'm so done. I tried to be nice, but he's just out of hand.

And P.S. The guy is almost 40 years old and has told me that he's "in love" with her and wants to meet her so they can get together, and marry, or some such shit. Pretty scary stuff.

***************************************************


Speaking of Christy, on a brighter note - I'm going to ask her if she wants to go to the movies today, to see "Oliver and Company". Since she loves the movie, I have free tickets, AND she's taking off to New York tomorrow. We'll see what she says.

Not Talking This Time

Thought I would just write a regular entry, for any of those that can't understand what I'm saying in the audio I posted earlier today - cuz I seriously think I was drunk when I did that, lol... it does sound okay, but whatever...

Anyway, just got off the phone with Christy - she has so many plans and things that she's doing, it's getting a little crazy keeping up... though I AM doing a good job so far. I'm supportive of all her ideas, she's got some really good ones - and excited at the same time to see them get off the planning page. Enough about that...

My job called me earlier today to let me know of a meeting this Wednesday at 8am. EIGHT IN THE EFFING MORNING!!! This is so everyone can be there. It's two hours - and I WILL be paid for it - but EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING???? YIKES!!! This means I'll have to be up no later than SIX THIRTY! And I'm having a hard enough time sleeping already... hopefully that will change before Wednesday.

I found something on Craigslist today that my friend Neshia and I are going to try to do together. Lose weight AND make money? You can't beat that, lol. And no, it's not some freaky new diet pill that they need guinea pigs for - it's a TV show. I don't want to mention the name of it because I'm not sure about competition - and we REALLY want to do it. We'll see if it happens. I have to do something to make some money.

My first priority is to finish the Advice Column website though - as soon as that's done, then I'll have a little more cash. So yeah, gotta get cranking on that. However, until we have a scanner in the house, I'm unable to get the main graphic up - was told that a scanner will be here tomorrow though, so yay for that.

Okay, I think that is a sufficient update. Be back later, or tomorrow, or the day after...

D

New Update for Me!!!
