Things on Thursday ... well, Friday now
Yeah, yeah. It's supposed to be "Things on Tuesday," but I like the alliteration of "Things on Thursday" more. :-)
Sadly, the negatives outnumber the positives this week. And I had to rack my brain just to come up with the six items I have on the positive list. Well, as I've mentioned before, it's difficult trying to see the glass as half-full right now. But I'm trying.
I’m lovin’ it
- Heroes Volume 4
- I jogged for 40 min. on my mother's treadmill on Monday after 2 1/2 weeks of inactivity.
- I have new desktop wallpaper. Don’t act like you don’t like it.
- I bought 1/2 of a tank of gas for my car one month ago. I’m only just now reaching 1/8 of a tank because I drive roughly 3 miles per day between home and work.
- I watched The Pompatus of Love via Netflix. It featured the infamous Pasdar sweater (or PaSweater) and some pretty strong evidence of Adrian's admiration for James Dean and Marlon Brando. It was a decent flick. Nothing special script-wise, but it had a good cast.
- I finally purchased the Band From TV DVD. Katrina and I went to one of the two free concerts the band put on for this DVD shoot, and I think I can make out which freakishly tall, Amazon I am in the audience. (That's sarcasm. I'm the only woman towering that high.) I haven't watched all of the DVD yet, so I don't know if I'm in any shots where you can see my face, but I think I remember Katrina wearing her hair in two side ponytails and I was wearing my hair really short at the time. So far, I don't think the sound quality on the CD does the band justice. They sound much, much better live. My favorite song on the CD/DVD: "Will It Go 'Round In Circles" led by Mr. Hugh Laurie.
- I’ve been poppin’ Excedrin Tension Headache pills everyday for the last 5 days. At least one per day, but sometimes 2 or 3.
- What I ate yesterday: a small bowl of ice cream, some Starburst and Skittles from the breakroom at work, and 2 slices of pizza when I got home. :-( Can you say “diabetes,” boys and girls?
- Money’s insanely tight. Huge shock, I know. Too many people want too much too often.
- Can a woman have a Napoleon Complex? Is it a gender neutral phenomenon? Because I think that the only person at my job that annoys the holy hell out of me -- Jazmin, the 5’1” Lilliputian -- loves to overcompensate for her height by feigning managerial skills and riding everyone's asses for no reason whatsoever. That, plus she's wrong about a lot of procedures she corrects you on. ::sigh:: Every place of business has to have one, I guess.
- Anyone of the 35, 45 full-time jobs that I applied for in the last 2 months could actually call me for an interview, you know. I’m not even talking about a job offer here, people. Just an invitation to an interview. Lie to me. Tell me you’re actually considering me for a position. Come on. You know you want to.
- I’m still not sleeping for more than 3 hours at a time. This has been going on for 3 months now.
- I’m still homesick for L.A.
I’m looking forward to
- Watching Cement on DVD. I received it on Tuesday afternoon via Netflix, but I'm waiting until I'm not rushing or exhausted to watch it.
- Despite the pain in the ass that is Jazmin, my Hobbit-esque supervisor at work, I enjoy working with Chelsey, Connie, Lilo and Mel.
- My birthday is in two weeks - March 18th. Kelleah Day!! I don't have anything planned, but I'm looking forward to it.
