Ok, where the hell am I?? I've been here a month, and already we've had the electricity go out for several hours (mind you, this was hours after the storm had passed) and now the cable's gone out for the afternoon. There isn't any storm going on this time, either. The entire time I lived in Tucson, I never lost my cable once. Nor my electricity for more than a flicker. It's like living in freaking India or something. 

Which just goes to show... it always is something.

Good thing we've got that movie (and on VHS this time, thank you!) to watch tonight.

I am ever so pissed!!

We rented The Ring Two and I started watching it tonight only to get about halfway through it and it became utterly unplayable. It skipped and froze throughout the whole thing, really, and I kept having to stop and restart it, which was irritating as fuck enough, but I was enjoying the movie and didn't want to stop it and wait for another copy so I kept going. I should have stopped while I was ahead. I'm annoyed as bloody hell right now. When we take this frisbee back, we're getting it on VHS! When I buy movies, I will buy DVD's, but for renting, VHS is better, because clearly there are too many cretins out there who haven't mastered how to CAREFULLY handle a DVD so that it doesn't become one big scratch. If you're too stupid to know how to handle a DVD, you shouldn't be allowed to rent them. Or breathe. 

And while I'm on a roll ranting, can I just say that putting a treadmill together should not be a greater workout than you get actually using it? And then getting it put together only to find out it's not put together right - three times - I swear, I put those damn arms on every possible way they could go on except the correct way before getting it right, and then I got on to try it and it's all rusted to shit or something because you can't use the arm poles and walk on it simultaneously. It takes so much effort to move the tread thing, you need to hold the bar in the front, causing a bent-over posture that I'm sure is not a smart way to be walking on it. So I guess fuuuuuck that too!

Grrrrrr!!

In other news, I should have pictures from my trip to the Renaissance one of these years, as soon as I use up the rest of the film.... in the meantime, the photos section has been updated recently with other stuff. Also, if you haven't noticed it on my other sites page, I have a new site you should check out when you get bored and have time to read things... Hot Pink Bohemian.

Alright. I am thoroughly freaked. I want to rent The Ring Two and my mom hadn't seen the first one yet so we watched it tonight (I own it). I turned off her downstairs phone, but since nobody turned off the upstairs one, naturally it rang, but early in the movie, and that was the only time. After it was over, I came upstairs and checked my cell: 2 missed calls! Nobody *ever* calls me. I think my phone's rung three times since I moved and changed the number, and they were all people I know and have in my phone. This just said caller ID blocked and they didn't leave a message...

Ok, I totally suck at updating this thing now, but there isn't much to report. I still haven't gotten a job; there's literally nothing I can get to except one restaurant/bar for which I've picked up an app but have yet to drop it off. I have a feeling I'll need to get my MN ID card before I can work... all I have is my AZ one right now.

I redid my layout for the umpteenth time; I'm reading Gilda Radner's biography It's Always Something and decided to do a tribute to her on my layout. 

Saturday I'm going to the Renaissance Fair with a friend from high school whom I haven't seen since I was about 20. That should be fun! We've been catching up over email for the past couple of months. It better not rain!!

My on-the-computer time has been cut down significantly. I actually have stuff to do a lot of the time now, even though I'm still unemployed. And good luck to that. If I ever figure out the bus system around here it'll either be an accident or a miracle. Well, at least if I don't get the stupid bills I still owe paid off in a timely fashion now, I don't have to worry about them shutting something off on me! I am also using my mom's phone line to log on now, so I can't be on it constantly. If you missed the links to all the pictures, you can either go to the august entries page or to the main page and go to the photos section from there.
