Current mood:
disappointed
Ouch, my back and neck are KILLING ME today. I was getting a sharp pain in my back that was making my leg numb this morning.
Man, I realized late last night that I missed the season premiere of Joan of Arcadia. I deleted the PVR event for that show because something I wanted to see recently was opposite it. Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn! Figures that there is absolutely no repeat of the episode this week (unlike repeats of old CSI episodes on CBS all over and the rebroadcast of Survivor). I was excited Friday morning and was thinking that I needed to check to see if it was in the same time slot. What's stupid is that I was home all evening. Booooooo.
I've spent the last three days or so rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I want The Half-Blood Prince released NOW (jumping up and down, whining!). I keep checking J.K. Rowling's for news, but nothing. *sigh* BTW, if you've never gone there, check it out. The flash version of the site is really neat. Of course, it depresses me that I'll probably never be able to do flash stuff as cool as that, but I'm sure going to try to learn. I like how the watch on the desk keeps current time and the lighting changes depending on the time of day, stuff like that. There's a section that has a "Do Not Disturb" sign on a door that I read occasionally opens. I haven't seen that yet. Peeves the poltergeist comes through sometimes if you leave a browser window open long enough. Too cool. The frustrating thing about J.K. Rowling is that she's only a year older than I. I feel like I've totally wasted my life when I look at what someone like she has accomplished. Oh, well.
I'm watching the Bronco/Charger game right now. Who is this dorky side-line guy that CBS has?
I have an idea of what I want my redesign to look like. I was making sketches this morning at work instead of working (my back-took me twice as long as necessary to get out of there). Now if only I could sit at a computer long enough to do it.
I don't know how I'm going to swing it financally, but I decided that I'm going with Marcus to Tennessee to visit his mom next week. Maybe a week without working and tossng around 50 lb. bags of flour and 80 lb. batches of dough will help my back heal. I went into school on Thursday and Friday to work out how to deal with my absence lately and figure out where I go next. I'm only scheduled for class one day a week for the next 10-week block since I have transfer credit from UNC. It's some sort of personal communication class. Anyway, I spoke with the teacher who will run that class and she assured me that we can get me caught up if I miss the first one. It's weird talking to that woman. She is very stern and she always seems mad at you when you talk to her. I guess that's just her demeanor, though. The public speaking class that I was taking was cancelled when I quit going, so Chrissy and I will have to take that when it's offered again. I'm going to be allowed to work on my final web project over the next 10 weeks since I only have the one class. That's cool. I'm also going in on Tuesday to speak to the placement lady. She'll help me get my resume tweaked and hopefully help me find a new job.
OK, that's all for now.
