I’m Hearing: The Pillows - One Life

This week has been rather craptastic so far. Meh. First off, of course, I’ve had no job. I will receive my last paycheck this Friday, then that’s it. There are finally some Graphic Design jobs starting to show up online, so I applied for 4 jobs while I’ve been sitting here at home. Haven’t heard a word back yet from any of them. I went over to my old painting teacher’s house again on Sunday to work on his Mac, but I ran into a brick wall because the damned thing just kept freezing, and I couldn’t narrow down what was wrong. I referred him to Tony (the dude who got the lab tech position I applied for last semester) so hopefully he’ll be able to diagnose the problem, cos I certainly have no clue. I got a little money from that, which is nice, but augh, I’m going to be so broke soon.

I think today was my first loan payment for my car…so there goes $150. Meh.

I guess I should probably mention the highlight of the week which really isn’t a highlight at all, at least not in a good way: yesterday I got a cease and desist letter about the fanfiction and transcripts posted on Sincereamore.com so I yanked all that down. Gah. More annoying in principle than in practice to me because it is a ton of work to maintain that site. I guess it’s a sign that I should focus my energy on something else. Still sucks though….there’s still a ton of people who frequent that site and use it to get information and communicate with each other. I considered taking the whole thing down, but I know people still use the forum a lot, so I don’t know. I guess I’ll have to see. Perhaps I could sell the domain to someone else if they were interested… :\

So that annoyed me greatly yesterday as you might imagine. That, combined with having no job and no love life made me quite melancholy. I ended up watching sappy romantic comedies with my roommates and sighing a lot.

Guh.

Enough misery though. I should mention Saturday as a counterpoint to this ridiculousness. Jon, Brian, and I went up to Green Bay to visit some friends. We played some DDR then had dinner at Victoria’s (YUM!) after which we went over to Will’s house. We spent the rest of the night playing video games with him and his friend Peter, who turned out to be really cool (and had a witty sense of humor). Hiroko slept most of the time with her head on Will’s leg. Later on we played 1000 Blank White Cards with them and eventually Ben came home. We tried to get him to play but he just sat in the periphery. Hiroko slept more. We got back to Oshkosh around 4:30 AM.

I’ve been playing DDR every day this week. I’ve gone back to Light mode for a bit so I don’t ruin my feet (they were starting to go wonky again)…instead of doing a hardcore dance I’m doing Endless Mode with wrist weights on Light, and I’m working more on my form than accuracy. It does the job quite well.

I had dinner at my parents’ house last night. (Mom baked.) Was really good. Also went to Appleton and got Return To Me, French Kiss and Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2. Haven’t played it yet. I spent this morning playing The Hobbit and The Two Towers. I’m not very good at any of those games atm…I’ve been roaring and screaming and swearing at my screen a lot.

I’m really hungry right now. Only had breakfast so far. I think I’ll take a shower then have a little something to eat.
