Where in the world did my weekend go????!!! I have to go to bed and I didn't even make a dent in everything I need to do. I've been lost on the internet doing some research all day. Argh! I need another day, dangnabbit!

Wow! Here's a horoscope that I really wish was true:

Dear Ladonna, here is your Horoscope for July 20, 2002

Have you been looking for a new job, Ladonna? If so, you might hear of an opportunity today from a totally unexpected source. This could mean that someone whom you'd never suspect brings it to your attention, or it could be in a new and unusual field. One way or another, as weird as it may seem, it's worthy of consideration. Look into it either way, and get all the facts before acting.

Best wishes for today, from the Astrologers of www.astrocenter.com.

Ok, so a couple of memes isn't a lot of interesting content. I'll have more time for posting tomorrow, I promise!

There has been absolutely no time to post anything lately. I've been sooooooo busy. School is going well (my teacher is REALLY impressed with my work) and work is sucky as usual. Hopefully I'll have time to write some stuff this weekend. I hope there is no repeat of last weekend's web server fiasco. The guys that host my site moved the servers from Denver to Loveland and there were some minor problems. I had the time to work on it, but I had no access to my site all weekend. It sucked. Oh, well. I've been sleep-deprived all week again, so I'm off to bed. G'night.

Current mood: aggravated
I really hate when a day totally sucks ass.

I got up late because I went to bed late last night. Not good on the weekend when I don't have Marcus' help to do dough and I have to do two days' worth at both stores by myself. Even though the sales were down at one of the stores, the dough amount I had to do was higher than expected. Why? More cheaper pizzas. I hate that. So, less dollar sales means smaller paycheck. Yippee.

Then, poor Dad is ill so we couldn't go out for a Father's Day meal. That totally bites to be sick on "your" day.

I called Marcus to let him know I'd be home earlier than I expected and he informed my that my website was down. Damn it! Some kind of DNS issue on my host's end. That was totally frustrating. What was really frustrating is that we could get to the site and even comment on it from behind our proxy (IP's cached). Of course, he wasn't answering his phone. I hate it when I have an idea of what's wrong and I have absolutely no power to fix it.

So, I get home, surf a little and then was going to go to the store to get the last few things I needed to fix dinner and the car won't start. Marcus put the new battery in that I bought yesterday, so I guess it wasn't a battery problem. Now what? Starter, who knows? Like I've got time to try and get a car into the shop when I'm starting school tomorrow. Not only that, I have no funds to finance another car repair. Let me tell you, the shit today was really starting to get old.

So, I come back from the store to find that my dickhead neighbors took their weedeater to the edge of my flower bed. I was purposely letting the weeds get a little big so that the weed killer I was going to purchase tomorrow would be more effective. Thanks, Assholes! I hate those people next door. It's bad enough that I can't ever set foot outside my house without one of them standing there and I can't open my patio door because one of them is always there smoking and I can't even wash my dishes without one of them being there and their fucking shed has been a sore spot with me since they moved in and their rat bastard dogs take dumps in my walkway, now this. I wish that woman would make those creepy adult sons of hers grow up and move out on their own and let me have some of the peace I used to have before they all moved in. When we first moved here almost four years ago this place was livable. It didn't have a mobile home park feel. Well, none of those cool people live here anymore and all this white trash crap has moved in and I can't take it anymore. At least with school starting, I won't be around much to have to deal with it.

So, here I am, fuming over all this shit and pissed off even more that I'm letting it get to me. Not only that, but I need to go to bed soon and I haven't accomplished squat today. Grrrrrr.

[deep breath]

Well, that's quite the rant I had. Sorry to unload all of that. It has been such a depressing day that even crying didn't make me feel better. *sigh*

Ok, well, I did download Mozilla today. It seems to be a cool browser. I've heard good things about it on the tech shows and such. It has an old Netscape feel. Marcus really digs that. It's interesting to see how web sites look and act in different browsers. I'm going to get Opera, also. If anyone who reads this uses another browser that they really like, I'd love the recommendation.

I watched a totally bizarre movie with my friend Nina yesterday. It was called Shadow of the Vampire with John Malkovitch. It was really bizarre. The bad thing is they killed off Cary Elwes (Princess Bride). He's so dreamy...I was really upset when the vampire killed him. *sniff*

I was just checking out Apple's web site because I had heard that they have special offers for students. Yeah, right. The only specials there were the same ones I've seen at the Apple Store and at CompUsa. I would really love to get a G4. Well, if I can qualify for any scholarships that would cover it, maybe. Marcus finally set me up an account on his G4 so I can learn to use OsX, at least. It seems pretty cool. We were playing with iPhoto last night. It rocks! Now I just need a better digital camera and a digital video camera and I'm set. HA! Man, I'm dreaming again. Somebody pinch me. (ouch)
