A Dedication
Because every time I hear this song, I just think of my own mother. I swear, she is the most life and soul sucking bitch and I have the extreme bad fortune of having her as a mother. She just makes me wish I was dead sometimes, but then I have to remind myself to keep my eyes on the prize. I wish she would just fucking die already. I wish they had euthanasia in this country and they'd just put her miserable ass down already. God, how much longer do I have to wait until I'm free of this shit? I feel like freakin' Tita de la Garza from Like Water for Chocolate. AAAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!
Anyway, I'll spare you the details. Suffice it to say, not only did I prep for Tuesday today, but I also vacuumed the floors and then mopped, and mowed the lawn without taking a break. But none of that is ever enough.
In other news, I'm watching the Star Trek movie from 2009. Pretty good so far. And hey! Look! Jennifer Morrison is in it! I saw the preview for The Wolverine today, and that looks pretty good as well. Nothing like some buff mutton-chopped Hugh Jackman noms to make for a movie I'd like to see! ;D ;D ;D

I hope it's worth all the suffering and time wasted. Assuming you actually win the prize. What if your mother makes it so that the prize is beyond your reach?
And what are your plans for if you win it?
But none of that is ever enough.
But you don't do that for *her*, right?
Jennifer Morrison is in it!
Yeah, she's Kirk's mom.

Did you ever see him in The Fountain? He dons a very different look in that movie. :P

That's the thing. being raised by PD's, I was perfectly trained and brainwashed into thinking that it all is just the way it is and will ever be. By the time I was finally awakened to the reality of it all, it is pretty much too late for me.
My life is ruined and I will never get it back. What is to come will never be what could have been because the sequences are all fucked up.
What if your mother makes it so that the prize is beyond your reach?
I was thinking about that yesterday. I think I'm pretty much fucked. I have no friends or family that would help me escape this madness.
Back to the movie, it wasn't that good after all. It *looked* good visually--the Romulan ship was cool-it reminded me of Cthulhu ;) and there wasn't too much CGI abuse. But this new batch of actors these days is just too annoying, especially Anton Yelchin and his over-the-top Chekhov accent. I could barely understand a damn thing he was saying. I give the movie a meh.
Did you ever see him in The Fountain?
No. Hmm, looked up that movie...sounds interesting. "Creo" means "I believe" in Spanish. I wish I had someone dedicated to saving my ass like that. :/
Hugh Jackman always looks his best as Wolverine, though. ;P
Sooooo...are you still playing video games? Which ones? Your sis still on vacation? For how long? Are you doing any house sitting to get away from the old peeps?
I could barely understand a damn thing he was saying.
One of the advantages of being Dutch is that we subtitle almost everything. If I ever don't understand something I can just look down at the bottom of the screen.
I wish I had someone dedicated to saving my ass like that. :/
Isn't that a kinda un-American attitude? Aren't you all supposed to be able to pull yourself up by your bootstraps?

The only time I look remotely like Mr. Jackman is right out of bed when my hair gets a bit longer and a little greasy. I get some serious Wolverine hair.
are you still playing video games? Which ones?
Mostly Crysis 2. I still suck at it though.
Your sis still on vacation? For how long?
Another week I believe. She's supposed to call today.
Are you doing any house sitting to get away from the old peeps?
Nah, my sister asked my parents to do that. But, yes, I do get a short hour alone to myself every day because of that.
Have you ever seen the movie Sinister? I saw it the other day. It's not a movie you want to watch in the dark. Has really only one major flaw.
Isn't that a kinda un-American attitude?
Fuck America. I'm tired of this country.
Aren't you all supposed to be able to pull yourself up by your bootstraps?
It's getting increasingly difficult to do that here. It would be nice to have somebody, *anybody* who would take notice and give me a little help here.
I get some serious Wolverine hair.
I have to wonder what you'd look like with those mutton chops. ;P
my sister asked my parents to do that
Well, at least you get away from them in reverse. :)
I do get a short hour alone to myself every day because of that.
A short respite, but one none-the-less! ;D
Have you ever seen the movie Sinister?
Hmm, I don't think so, but it sounds familiar. Maybe I'm thinking of the heavy metal band Sinister? ::shrugs:: ::looks it up:: Looks interesting. I'll have to look out for it on the dish. :)
I'm tired of this country.
Surely not the whole country?
give me a little help here.
What kind of help do you need?
Surely not the whole country?
Unfortunately, the whole thing has been ruined by despicable politicians and a clueless dumbfuck citizenry. And the rest of the English speaking world is not much better.
What kind of help do you need?
One-hundred-million dollars would be a good start! ::does best Dr. Evil:: ;P
Hey, I'd really like to know what you'd look like with a Wolverine 'do! ;D ;D ;D
One-hundred-million dollars would be a good start!
What would you do with it?
Hey, I'd really like to know what you'd look like with a Wolverine 'do! ;D ;D ;D
It's not really long enough for that right now.
Hey, apparently someone drove over and killed an actual wolf over here. Near a place called Luttelgeest. It's kind of a strange idea having potentially dangerous animals running around in this country. I'd better keep my eyes peeled. ;)
What would you do with it?
Give a few million to my mother and tell her adios and never contact me again, then maybe buy a small island near the Baltic Sea to put my lair. I'd send you moneyzzz for a plane ticket if ya wanted to visit. ;) Then, I'd start on my bucket list items.
It's not really long enough for that right now.
:(
Hey, best watch out for those wolves! Don't want to get bit by any infected ones! ;P Bloody vicious creatures, those. The idiot environmentalists started reintroducing them here in the lower 48 states and they have been decimating herds of cattle and other animals.
In other news, I might not be doing that thing tomorrow thanks to you know who. It's wait and see ATM. I'll let you know more on that tomorrow...likely an angry rant coming. >:(
Well, seems it's on after all. Lots of hysterics and chaos manufacture.(Thanks PD forum for the jargon! ;P )
It's all so stupid and unnecessary. Like a commenter at PD forum said, PDs really *are* like overgrown 2 yr/olds having tantrums and creating chaos to get their way. And in the end, nothing has really changed. Just lots of bluff and bluster and chaos and all for what? I figured it was all a big bluff when she declared that she wasn't gonna do it so I said, 'Okay then, I'll put everything away.' Then it was "NOOOOOOO!!!!"
Ah well, super early tomorrow, no sleep, and an old woman to put up with. :/
I like how you handled that situation. So how did it go?
It went well for the most part. There was a minor tantrum when we got there and a couple of the table sizes weren't to the required specification, but that was a very minor issue.
Everything got set up in time and a good time was had by all. There was an orgy of gastronomic delights(smoked fish heaven and yummy pastries).
Not bad for 4 hrs. Went home, gorged myself on food porn, then had a 5 hour nap(only had 3 hrs sleep the night before--hate getting up that early!)
Went to bed fairly early last night, got up early for me this morning(8:30am). Now I have to go out to take care of a little matter.
And what have you been up to? Stat counter shows that you have been absent for a bit. ;)
Glad to hear you had a good time. Did you get any compliments from the clients?
And what have you been up to?
Just the same old stuff. However, I am starting to think about a neat little browser application. I'm not yet sure how that will work out (or if it will work at all).
Did you get any compliments from the clients?
Sure. They were pleased. The custodian said it was the nicest event he'd ever seen there.

Like what?
A little bad news...seems one of the orcs who live around here tried to break in to the house while we were gone either Tuesday or yesterday. I found a pair of eyeglasses in the yard when I was bringing the trash bin back into the yard. I figured someone had to have been in the yard for the glasses to be where they were.
Then, when I went out back to do something a bit later, I noticed that the gate at the side of the house was wide open. I NEVER leave it open, plus I have a padlock on it. Someone forcibly yanked it open, hard enough that it bent the hinges while the lock was still on the latch. Then there was evidence of someone hopping over the fences as the tops were bent down. Luckily, nothing appeared to be taken...yet.
The fuckers were looking to see what they can steal and likely looking to see how easy it would be to break in the actual house. It kinda looks like they were scared away while they were in the middle of what they were doing. IDK if they were back there when we got home yesterday or what.
I'm really pissed off and the old woman is all in a fearful tizzy and wants to sell the house/get security cameras/dogs/iron bars to the windows etc. I'm very, very, unhappy ATM. >:(
Like what?
Just something to keep certain things organized. I'll tell you the specifics if I can get it working.

Please tell me you've informed the police of what happened. It´s entirely possible that the culprits try to break in again, can't hurt to give the police a heads up. Plus, if they come round to inspect he scene of the crime this might intimidate those would-be burglars.
How did they even know that you'd be gone that day? Did you tell anyone about that? If not, then they must have been waiting for you to leave.
Have there been break ins in other houses in the neighbourhood? Or attempts to do that? Are you going to take any preventive measures?
If it's possible to hop over the fence then why break the gate? To make it easier to move stuff out?
I suppose it could just be some stupid kids doing stupid things but you never know. Who's missing his/her glasses?
How did they even know that you'd be gone that day?
I suspect that it's the low-lifes who live across the street about 2 houses down. They sit out in their carport all day selling drugs and what everybody's movements. We told my neighbors about it. They had an attempted break-in awhile back. When they called the police, the cops said that there was nothing they could do about it. They didn't even dust for prints. These cops around here are completely useless.
If it's possible to hop over the fence then why break the gate? To make it easier to move stuff out?
I suspect they broke the gate thinking they were going to move some big stuff out like my lawn mower. I keep that locked in the house. We keep most of our hurricane shutters up to all the windows so the only window in the back without a shutter is the kitchen window. I suspect they got spooked by something and hopped the fences at the side of the house to get away since if they went through the gate they could be seen from the front.
In other bad news today, I got up and went downstairs and heard a noise from the carport like someone was rummaging around...I grabbed my baseball bat and went out to see what the commotion was and there were 3 pitbulls in the carport tearing the shit out of the front of my car. They must have been chasing a stray cat. The one pitbull turned and tried to attack me and I ran back in the house. Then they ran off. The front of my car is completely destroyed. Thousands of dollars of damage that I don't have the money to fix.
When the dogs ran off, I came back out and chased them around to the other street. My neighbor who is the grandfather of a kid that I used to play with when I was little was just pulling up to the house and I asked him if he knew whose dogs they were. He told me what house they were at and that they were viscous and had killed cats before. I had my camera to get a pic and when I wet down there, the dogs were laying under a car in the carport. When they saw me, they all ran out barking and the biggest one was the most aggressive and I thought it was going to attack me. At least I got pics of them.
Now, I called the cops out and they took 2 hours to come out. The female officer didn't seem to be taking it very seriously as she had a big smirk on her face the whole time. They were useless. they just took a report and said there was nothing that they could do. Such bullshit!
Now I have to go all the way down to animal services to report it to them. By the time I get around to doing that, the assholes who own these dogs will likely hide them somewhere and claim that they are NOT their dogs. Well, I got pics anyway.
This is such bullshit! Now my car is all fucked up through no fault of my own and I'm stuck with the bill to fix it. These fucking bastard dogs will still be roaming around until animal services gets around to doing something...by then it will be too late.
I AM SOOOOO PISSED!!!

Maybe you should just let your mother sell the house and get the hell out of there. Geesh! It should be so easy to find a better place to live than where you are now. How can people be that anti-social? Do you live in the worst part of the city or something?
