Icon Wars

OK, this was funny (found via LadyNova). I think some people have waaaay too much free time on their hands.

A Rose By Any Other Name…

Am I the only one who thinks that it's amusing that they call old crap on eBay "vintage"? That's like calling a little old dump of a house "charming". Too funny!

Damn it

I bought a Mary Moo Moos figurine for my craft room on eBay on May 15th. It was supposed to be this one. It arrived quickly, however, it turned out to be this one. That would have been fine, except that I already have that one. I emailed the seller back and asked to either have the proper one or get a refund. She said she'd be glad to exchange them, so I sent the item back on May 23rd. As of this morning, I still hadn't heard back from her, so I emailed again. She's been trying to get the right one, but can't so now she's willing to give a refund. If she would have been upfront about not having one and just given the refund last week, I could've bought one from someone else. *sigh* Oh, well. There are a couple up for about the same price as I paid her that end in a few days.

There was no movie…

Went to see "The Matrix Reloaded" for the second time with Marcus last night. It really is a good flick. I have noticed one thing--either a person really likes this movie or they really hate it. Maybe it's just too deep for some people and since any type of thinking or stimulation whatsoever makes their brains hurt, they don't like it. Maybe the fact that it didn't tie up into a nice, neat little package at the end and they have no patience to wait six months to see the conclusion really pissed them off. Regardless, I like how it is making me think and I've learned a lot of things while trying to understand this movie. I hope that when the last one is out, the dudes that wrote them will reveal some (if not all) of the religious, mythological, philosophical, etc. connotations. Somehow I doubt it, though. The Wachowski brothers seem to be rather secretive. There are, however, many people all over the internet offering up their theories. One site I've been visiting alot recently is Matrix Essays. I found it while trying to help Marcus research the significance of the names of people/places/ things in "The Matrix." The author of that site wrote a cute Dr. Seuss parody:

A Much-Needed Break

I've decided to take a module off from school. I'm so burned out that I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The module lasts five weeks and then we had a two-week summer break coming up, so I'll get seven weeks total to get my life in order and on-track. I've already been off for a week and have decided that I really need to find other employment. That is the thing that is stressing me out the most. I worked five nights last week and made a whopping $102 (when 5 days normally nets about $200). It's not going to get better anytime soon, either. Not only did the head manager hire another driver (a friend of his that comes and goes as he pleases), but we found out that the dumbass owner hasn't been putting out the mailings that he said he had and has now left for a two-week vacation. We had the slowest Saturday we had ever had this past weekend. Not good. So, I'm going to work on the old resume this afternoon (after I finish painting the shed) and take it to the placement director tomorrow and beg her to find me some other work. Even if I can only find something part-time and just dump the delivery part of the job, I'll be better off. Then I can go back to making the dough in the middle of the night when nobody is there and the ovens aren't on.

I'm grateful about one major thing, though. I'm sure glad I have Marcus. The women at work constantly gripe about their husbands/boyfriends and they seem a little miffed when I won't join in with the male-bashing. Honestly, I don't have much to compain about. I know he truly loves me, no matter what. It amazes me that after 11 years of being together, we still have great conversations. We can also be totally comfortable sitting in a room together saying nothing at all. We still have our own separate interests (ie, I'm a crafter, he mountain-bikes) , but we find time to do stuff together. I used to be depressed that he wouldn't marry me, and once I threatened the "Marry me or I'm leaving you" (he offered to help me pack), but as time goes on and more and more people that I know are getting divorced, it's not as important. I know he stays with me because he wants to, not because he has to. *sniff* I'm getting all sentimental and teary thinking about all this. I'm just glad I found him.

OK, well, I've got to get moving. I can't waste my whole time off in front of this computer!
