Well, la-dee-mother-fucking-da. My internet has decided to work again. How kind of it.

I'm pretty convinced it's just the modem that's got issues. Gots to get me a new one...



^ You likey? ^ Yup...Unbeknownst to you, I am, in fact, a Moon Master.



Anywho, life is pretty sucky...and uneventful. I, however, will elaborate on the goings-on of my weekend in such a way that may make it seem as though I am interesting person. I do this for you people, damn it! Yeah, I said "you people." Wanna fight about it?



On Saturday I worked. The new-hires were there, and I scoped the scene for potential hotties. Nope. Not a one. Bummer.

It's gonna be a long holiday season.

After that, I got a PS2 (finally)!!! Since then, I've been playing "Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel". There's a level I can't get past, and it's pissing me off.

I also have a DVD burner now. Yee-haw! So far, I've made a compilation of live AFI performances, and a collection of "Aqua Teen"s. It takes about ten god-damned hours to burn a DVD. Fuuuuck.

On Sunday, I didn't do a god-damned thing. It felt goooood.

Monday, I worked. I trained a new-hire, which was pretty cool. She was nice, and having her there made a little more relaxed about work for whatever reason.

Relatively soon after she left, my ex-boyfriend strolled in. We're still friends, and I was happy to see him. I looked again, and the dumb-ass had the gall to bring his new girlfriend along.

Let me explain: he and I had been seeing eachother for two years off and on. About four months ago, I came to find that he was seeing other girls. That was okay, technically, because he and I weren't really together. However, he would call me after these dates went sour. I was, essentially, his "back up."

It got to the point where I had had enough. I told him that it was me and only me, or not at all. He said, "So you're telling me it's all or nothing?"

I replied with, "You're god-damned right."

Let's just say we parted ways.

Anywho, just weeks after denying me official girlfriend status, he got a girlfriend.

SO, this is why the whole "having a girlfriend" thing pisses me off. But, jumping into a commitment right after refusing to give me one wasn't enough. He brought her into my fucking work.

He somehow didn't understand that maybe, just maybe, bringing his new girlfriend into his ex-girl's place of employment might not be a good idea. Not only did he bring her in, but I got to "serve" her. Not only did I get to "serve" her, but she was completely rude. No "please" or "thank you"s involved.

I told him tonight that if I hadn't been working and she had dared give me an attitude, I would have beat the fuck out of her in a heartbeat.

After all of that drama, I got off work and decided I was well within my rights to treat myself. I showered, music blaring all the while, and prettied myself up. I wasn't doing it for anyone but me.

I put on my flowy-hippie-skirt, a cute top, kept my hair down, put on some eye-shadow, mascara, and lip gloss, then headed out the door. I ate at the Chinese place again (I'm hooked), and went to Barnes & Noble. By then I was accompanied by my buddy Ricardo. He's such a sweetie.

I bought a "Fullmetal Alchemist" book:


It's all art by the creator of the manga/series.

After that, we went to see "Walk the Line." It was pretty good, and I was extremely impressed by Jaoquin's singing! I would not have thought that man could sing...

Rather than going home after parting with Ricardo, I drove for a while. I was in a weird place in my mind. Kind of morose, really.

I drove to a lookout point and sat in the truck for an hour or so. I just listened to music, reflected, cried a bit...All in all, it was some healthy time alone.

Today, I got the mail, went to the bank, shopped for groceries, watched the "ATHF" DVD I made, ate a steak, and here I am. I also fucked around on Paint Shop Pro:



I'm kind of proud of myself, really. I have a short attention span (who doesn't?), and this took me over an hour before I was satisfied with it...



So, for Thanksgiving, it'll just be me and the step-dad. I'm cooking a duck...Yum! Mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, biscuits, home-made gravy, and stuffing. I like to stick bits of celery, apple, andCraisins in the stuffing. Also, bits of (cooked) liver and other giblets are really tasty in the gravy. It's a good thing.



Optimus Prime is Jewish.


Came as a shocker to me, too.



I'm not even going to bother seeing "Aeon Flux." It's going to suck, and Charlize is a poor, poor choice to play the goddess Aeon. In fact, they shouldn't have made it into a fucking movie to begin with. Aeon was unbelievably hot...so much so, you can't expect that kind of perfection in a human being.

Charlize doesn't have the body for it...period.



Another picture from my romp in Texas:




I've decided to diet. Not in the sense that I'll eat solely rabbit food and count carbs, but I'll definitely start watching what I eat. I've been blessed with awesome metabolism my whole life, but I can tell that it's starting to lessen...

I'm not allowing myself to snack on chocolate at work.

Bowl of cereal for breakfast...okay, two bowls.

I'm eating a bowl of minestrone soup every day for lunch. There's virtually no fat, and it's both tasty and filling. I think it's a pretty good replacement for Taco Bell, eh?

I essentially eat whatever the fuck I want for dinner.



I get bored and I like to play with my new camera:




Well, I suppose that's all for now. I'm sure I'll be lying awake in bed pretty soon thinking, "Ah, man! I should've written about ________!" It's a given. That always happens.

If I think of something else, I'll simply add more to this entry...



What are you all doing for Thanksgiving, my darlings?
