Sneaky time bending
| | DO NOT BE A SLAVE TO TIME MY FRIEND!
Because I am too lazy to go back and retro date these!
Tonight I hung out with Sterling. I spent hours today buying new things (things I needed), I also spent my paycheck. Which was regrettable, but I got stuff to make it worth it.
Things I've learned: Sterling does not like perfume… so DO NOT WASTE expensive new perfume (first real perfume I ever bought, proof I'm a grownup lady) on Sterling.
We went out to eat at Katmandu in Sacramento, and it was very, very good. Then we got lost looking for this bar I remembered going to once. Then we found it, and inside they had live music (very pour your heart out with a guitar style wailing), so we had to pay a cover. I had a gin and tonic (fairly reasonably priced for a bar), the well gin was Gilby's (I think) so not so good. Then we drove to club, only we drove to the WRONG club, so we headed back across town to the right club, and… it was lame. I don't know what it is about 815L sometimes it is jumpin' and the music is hot, and others the music is lame or it's deserted. There were good amounts of people there but the music REALLY blew. So we stayed an hour (had another gin and tonic… much more expensive for even LESS gin), then he took me home. It was a nice night; sometimes it's good to have a nice social visit after a few really intense ones. Reminds you of the good part of being friends.
Alright, well I don't have to work tomorrow… so whoo!
2:07am Sunday September 24, 2006
Another internetless night…sigh. Again, another time I question the wisdom of free, but what can one do? Besides sit outside and try and get reception. I'm always certain that this time will be the –last- time, and the internet will NEVER come back. Even right now, out here in the dark (in my pajamas), I'm not getting any reception.
Today was Sunday, and I didn't have to work. And it was nice, I forgot how Sundays can be (slow, really). And lacking internet on the second day off in a row is –hard-. I mean, what do you do with yourself? I'm not hungover and I've slept all I possibly can (good thing, too, I have three morning shifts in a row this week… seven am morning shifts I believe. I should invest in coffee filters and make coffee… but that requires getting up EARLIER, so I usually stick with my get up and run out the door strategy.
Am really bummed that Sterling is anti-cologne. I have spent the last month researching colognes to find something for his birthday. I found the perfect one, too. Now I shall have to think of something else for his birthday. Maybe something for his walls… he never puts anything on his walls. Of course, that's a bonding thing, I guess I can't –force- him to bond with where he's living. This will require MORE research. I should really stop putting so much effort into these things, I know he didn't like what I got him last year (… at least he never said anything about it, and I have never seen him wear it). Garumph.
I think I shall have some tea and watch third rock. That will make me feel better.
11:46pm Sunday September 24, 2006
Oh, bother.
I'm really afraid that the internet is gone for good. Of course, I think this about once a month, so that can't mean –too- much. I just saw Pride and Prejudice again… goodness was a greater miniseries ever made (the answer is –no-)? At the end of it I cannot think anything but “oh, Mr. Darcy” and sigh. I do a lot of sighing (it –is- five hours long),
As to work, ugh. Three days worth of morning shifts. If I had nothing but morning shifts I would –adjust-, but doing both means that when I have morning shifts I do not sleep, and when I have evening shifts I sleep the whole day through. I RARELY have mids, which might make my life perfect. It's so nice out tonight, almost makes it worthwhile to type outside on the power box (or whatever that this giant metal cube is called that vibrates with electricity, Frank would know.). On the upside, we finished our month's goal in kids… for the first time in 9 months. It's actually terribly exciting to the children's department people. I also mopped the floor with shelving (was a poor sales day), so Alura really had very, very little to do tonight. Among the other good things I did: organized the Read and Cuddle section, set up a kids display behind the cashwrap, and found the Spookley bags (and changed the signs accordingly). I deserve some sort of metal… or shrinkydinks. Yes, I'll settle for shrinkydinks.
I bought a cover for my futon chair this afternoon, it was on sale and is very high quality, but is the wrong size (is –much- too big) so it seems like I have taken it in my head to wrap my futon in an ill-fitting sheet instead of a smooth duvet cover. I also discovered how much I enjoy mole (two syllables MO-leh).
I was so exhausted when I started my movie that I called Ed and told him I'd be asleep… and now I'm wide awake and am STILL internetless. I am sitting out on my powerbox getting a crick in… most of my back neck and shoulders (plus my feet have gone all tingly), AND STILL NO INTERNET.
Alright Internet (…well of course you're not there right NOW but you will be…when you read this), I'm going to bed. I think I'll be hobbling (stupid numb dumb feet). Goodnight!
Friday 1:22am September 29, 2006
Sigh,
I miss you internet! I miss you SO much! I also miss being able to talk to Ed easily, and playing games. My internetless life is full of more sitting about, more sitting about doing nothing than a girl really –needs- (in my opinion a girl needs very little of that ).
On the upside: I hung out with Sterling tonight. We played Risk, and it was a LONG ass battle, we didn’t even finish (it was close, but I figured that he would probably win), we got all the way to 55 reinforcements… We were going to get a new game, but he forgot when he was supposed to arrive (5:30) so by the time he showed up, it was too late to go out to buy a game. But Risk is fun, and gin goes surprisingly well with Hansen's mandarin lime soda.
I sang a particularly bad song to Ed’s voicemail.. well the song is really very pretty, but I didn't have all the words, and lacking internet I couldn’t pull them up, and I was tipsy.
Oh well, I'm sure he understands.
Also, my check was really very, very small this week, which is too bad. And I cut open a VERY nasty gash on the outside of my leg, that won't scab up properly. It was on a vein, so it squirts in a most unladylike fashion (lady like wounds… are supposed to bleed prettily? I don't know, but trust me this wasn’t one of those type).
I'm giving this until the 7th to fix itself (this being internetless) and then I'm going to look into BUYING it… That is how desperate I am.
Goodnight!
THIS ENTRY BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER F THE NUMBER 24 AND THE INTERNET OF SOMEONE NAMED MIKE
