Current mood: frustrated
This client I have for my class at school is driving me insane. I'm supposed to have the piece at the printer by the end of the week and I still don't have some photos or his return address for the postcard. He supposedly had his portrait taken on Saturday and he hasn't contacted me as to when I'll have them. I have to have the piece back from the printer and have a copy to turn in on the 24th or I fail the class. If I pass it will be a miracle.

Have I mentioned I have insomnia again? I only slept about 4 hours last night and 5 the night before. I was so tired today, and thought I'd go to bed as soon as I got home from work, but here it is almost 10 p.m. and I'm still wide awake. Damn it! I'm pretty sure that part of it is stress from school.

Marcus is taking me to see Matrix Revolutions tomorrow night.

OK, guess that's about all going on in my world. I'm going to go try to get some sleep.

Current mood: excited
In a little more than 24 hours, I'll be seeing Matrix Revolutions. I sooooo can't wait. Hope I'm not disappointed after all this time.

How To Thoroughly Clean The Toilet

1. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and put both lids up.
   
   
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
   
   
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid). The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. (Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.)
   
   
4. Flush the toilet three or four times. (This provides a "power-wash " and "rinse".)
   
   
5. Have someone open the door to the outside (Be sure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.)
   
   
6. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
   
   
7. The now clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself off. The toilet will be sparkling clean!

Sincerely,
The Dog

Man, I'm glad this day is almost over. I really hate wasted days like this. I didn't accomplish squat.

The first major winter storm here in the Denver area has occurred and it was all freezing drizzle. It took me a half hour to scrape the 1/8" ice off my windows. Of course, it doesn't help that I broke my scraper in the process. Then it took me almost 90 minutes to get to work because of the totally jacked up traffic. This storm started yesterday, so you'd think that the overpasses and stuff would be well-sanded in time for rush hour. HA! Rush hour tonight was a nightmare. Then it's Halloween and I had to deliver pizza. Could any of these people that ordered bother to de-ice their front porches? No. It's bad enough that I almost killed myself more than once, but what about the poor trick-or-treaters encumbered by costumes and candy? The only good thing about the evening is that it was the first Halloween that I've driven that losers didn't give me candy instead of a tip. Sadly, though, the tips I did get were not what I'd usually get on a holiday or a poor weather night. Oh, well.

Since I got to work late, I didn't get all the dough made that I needed. I think the manager made some condescending remark about it as I was leaving tonight. Creep. So, I'd better get to bed so I can get up early and get the dough made before he gets there in the morning. I'm really starting to hate that guy.

Today is Marcus' and my 11th Anniversary of when we "officially" started seeing each other. Wow. Sometimes it's hard to believe it's been that long.
