Was there ever any doubt? LOL

I hate it when you have a power outage (and your battery backup is dead and you can't afford to replace it) and all of your open Firefox tabs, BBEdit windows, etc. are all gone. *sigh* Wish I had saved some of that stuff at one point.

I hate it how scattered my mind has been lately. I really wish I could concentrate. The first thing I'm doing after I get a job is get new glasses. I didn't realize how much I depended on them until they're gone. It doesn't help that the blogging world seems to think that smaller is better for type size. I thought the problem was the Cinema display I normally surf on with its 1680x1050 screen resolution, but no...my laptop is set to 1024x768 and I constantly have to ctrl+ the type to make it legible. I've thought about leaving snarky comments on such sites, but why? It's their business how they want their sites to look. I need to learn to let things like that go and stop trying to be such a control freak.

I check out Jenna Fischer's (aka Pam from The Office) myspace page once in awhile. Her cousin-in-law has invented a cool product I'd like to get called the Cupcake Courier. The price tag of $32.99 plus s/h is a little steep, but the thing holds 36 cupcakes or muffins and you won't smash the frosting or get the cupcakes all stuck to each other. One of the reasons I rarely make cupcakes anymore is because there is no good way to store them. When I'm rolling in money again, I'll definitely check this one out.

I finally got my first unemployment check today (but I can't deposit it until Tuesday dammit). I wish there was some way to direct deposit it. Funny, but Friday the phone line said my claim still hadn't been paid. I still feel like a scrumbag that I haven't found a job yet, but at least I'll quit dragging everybody else around me down while I'm looking. Platt finally hired another placement person...I have an appointment to meet with her Tuesday afternoon. Watch this lady not have any graphic design contacts whatsoever. Hopefully this is the point where things start to turn around. A new job is the only birthday present I want this year.

I don't know if the stress or the mosquiito bites are doing me in, but I feel like sh*t today. I went to bed around 1pm because I was dragging so bad and I was freezing. I fell asleep right away. I vaguely remember Marcus coming home from biking (he said that was around 2), then I was out until 6pm. I probably wouldn't have woken up then if Marcus hadn't come into the room to take a shower before dinner. I'm still dragging and am contemplating bed as soon as I hit submit.

I had something I wanted to post about, but darned if I can remember now. I guess I really do need to go back to bed. G'night.

Edit: I just remembered! Check out this cute (and oh so Marcus!) fairy tale that he posted.

I'm also contemplating participating in Pink for October.
