Thursday, January 31st, 2008I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday already! This week has positively flown by and I have very little to show for it. Seems like there’s never enough time to get everything done. I did get the chance to laugh at myself this week, though, since I had my first real freak-out attack about going to [...]
All Aboard!
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008I did something today I never thought I’d do. I booked a cabin aboard the Queen Mary 2. How incredibly cool is that? Even though I’ve flown my entire life, I’m not a happy flier. And since this trip to Scotland is really a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I wanted to do something a bit extravagant to [...]
Buying Indulgences
Monday, January 28th, 2008You know – I don’t understand this whole Carbon offset movement. Aside from the fact that I’m not convinced that global warming is anything more than hysterics (which is not to say I don’t think we need to take better care of our planet), this whole buying carbon offsets to make up for polluting the [...]
And the MHoS Award Goes To…
Thursday, January 24th, 2008I’m a voracious reader – suffice it to say, I’m absolutely against book-banning of any sort. I’m also not for the whole PC b.s. that’s prevalent in our society as a general whole – and I don’t mean just the American society, either. It seems the whole world has fallen prey to greasing the squeaky [...]
Another Cranky Day
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Sorry to be a crank-ass two days in a row – I woke up way early this morning, sat in training classes all day for a new job I started yesterday. I’ll be working in a call center where the pay is so ridiculously low I don’t want to discuss it – other than that, [...]
Now It’s Time to Freak Out…
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008So, I come home from my new job today to another correspondence from the University of Stirling acknowledging that I have been offered acceptance to The Gothic Imagination program and that they have received my acceptance of said offer. Classes start on September 15th, and they included a form to fill out for living accommodations. [...]
Today is a Sad Day…
Sunday, January 20th, 2008In an ongoing effort to build up enough cash for Scotland, I have decided to part ways with the vast majority of my CD collection. I know it’s silly to be sad about it, but I can’t help it. There was a time when music was my life, though that has many years since been [...]
And the Winner is…
Friday, January 18th, 2008I was going to wait until later today to post the winner, but as fate would have it, I’ve got to be gone later this afternoon, so I wanted to make sure to get the information up. I said the winner would be drawn randomly so I wrote the corresponding number for each entry (minus [...]
Born of Frustration, Take II
Thursday, January 17th, 2008It’s raining today, which is kind of nice. It’s not as joy-producing as snow, but I make do with what I have. I’m just thankful it’s not hot! Just a couple of updates this morning: I’ve been looking for different ways to try to bring in a bit of extra income – with Scotland looming [...]
The Best Present of the Day
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008DC told me it was snowing in Atlanta tonight and sent me pictures: Mini Frosty: A portrait of the artist and his creation: Thanks, DC!
