BUSTED!

If this blog is about Accountability, then I have to take a moment to bust myself on a few issues. We'll start with today:

1. It is hours since my first post, and I have yet to go do my laundry allowing me to walk to the beach. Harumph!

2. I have yet to start my third project for class tomorrow. Harumph!

3. I have yet to eat or drink water. Harumph!

On the other hand, I have written another post. The second post was fun and easy. I've already gotten positive feedback.

Actually, the two posts I did today even sort of qualify for a bit of my writing assignment for Scriptwriting, sort of. Doing some character study writing is a part of my writing assignments, and I certainly did detail some of the more notable characteristics of two fantastic women.

Thing is that I have to do my Digital Sound work, and I am procrastinating. It's silly, really. Once I get going I love this stuff. I will finish this and get set up to succeed at Digital Sound.... after I throw that load in the wash and eat something.... REALLY!

One of the biggest time sucks today has been the discovery of the "Stats" section on my blog. It is fascinating to see the numbers, graphs, demographics, and what-all; but it is also confusing. As a result, I believe there are bots that hit on my blog; but I'm not worried since no spam has shown up. If the stats are correct, I have more readers in Norway than in the States. Here's a big, "Hei Norge!" to my Norwegian brothers and sisters!.... Cousins? Hope I'm not boring you completely. I've also had some hits from the UK, which would follow since I have emailed links to some people I've met in the UK. The hits from China, Russia, Latvia, Germany, Sweden, Thailand, and Brazil might just be bots; or people traveling or who knows. In any case, like I said, "It was a huge time suck." ... and reinforced my resolve to keep things interesting and rather generic for now.

I also had to take some time to deal work on scheduling for today and the rest of my week. I've also made all the necessary phone calls to schedule the rest of my day and waiting for more information for the rest of my week. The good news it that I have eight uninterrupted hours available today for all the homework and housework that I care to do with the possibility of that walk to the beach still hanging on. It's a perfect day for a walk to the beach, or at least a walk somewhere. It's also a perfect day for homework and housework.

So there. I've busted myself and take responsibility for my silliness.

BB just called, and we had a chance to talk about both creative and work related stuff. That was nice. :D

Before I go, I've counted up the number of posts that I am "behind" on. After this post, I will be "behind" by five posts. This might mean that in the coming week, I do two posts a day. If this is the case, I'll do my best to keep them short and interesting.

OK, I'm jazzed to get started on the other parts of my day. I'm especially jazzed about getting my third Digital Sound project done. It's based on the time I spent listening by the Military Memorial at school. I'm looking forward to finding the sounds and music for this one.

"This time for sure!" Bullwinkle shouted and dashed off after Rocky on yet another attempt at success.

Productive Day

Well, I'm happy to report that I got all my business done today; checked out the Food Pantry hours and other possible programs. Don't know if we'll qualify for anything, but I start filling out paperwork tomorrow when I go get some food.

Had a nice talk with Mom and Dad later in the day.

Haven't heard from the staffing agency about an interview with Abbott.

Started picking out classes for the Fall Semester. So far, I'm thinking Scriptwriting, Digital Sound, Yoga and possibly something in the Health and Wellness area. That would be twelve credits. So, if my financial aid comes through I'll be in school starting August 25th.

I also started on PART FOUR of Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

OK, going to get a decent night's sleep. Didn't go to bed until five o'clock this morning, so I'm a bit sluggish.

Sweet dreams, All.

Elle Woods Lives!

Yep. There I was; twenty minutes late but looking Mar-Vel-Loose! Duh! Sitting there trying to figure out what my "Odd" thing about me was going to be, quickly negating one right after another; all I could think was, "Get me out of here!"

It may happen yet. On Sunday night, my computer stopped shutting down properly. Just NOW the "N" key jumped to it's death. I mean it bounced off the keyboard. Are these signs that I should just not take this course, or are these just obstacles to overcome on the way to my success? Quite frankly, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!

Tired. My back hurts again, and I DON'T like feeling stupid. At least I headed to the Bookstore during break to buy the book, the workbook, and a "thumb" drive (also known as a "jump" or "flash" drive) for $150. Thank God for my credit card.

I'm going to eat my salad, read my hundred pages, do my back exercises, and rewatch "Legally Blonde" ALL NIGHT LONG!

I hope I can drop-off my computer with my son-in-law and his father tomorrow. I said that I'd hire them to fix it since they've just gotten involved in a computer fixing franchise.

... and for all the above banal bitching - YES! I do think about all the serious situations in the world and know my troubles are infinitesimal. I'm glad they are. I'm going to have to work to be my usual "funny when mad" self. Right now I'm just too God-Damned tired, frustrated, and hungry. One cannot eat when one is typing, you know.

Tomorrow is basement during the day and homework on BB's MacBook Pro during the night.

NO N KEY! Can you believe it?! Dang. Maybe I should just take my Student ID number and whatever else I need to get a Mac at like $80/month. It's OH SO TEMPTING! RRRRRrrrrrrr! If I do that, I'm breaking this machine! I don't give a good God-damn if it can be used again or not! It would feel so good to destroy something just for the sheer pleasure of pulverizing something.

Might have to break some dishes tomorrow. I've got plenty to spare - IN THE BASEMENT!

OK. That's it. That's as stupidly enraged as I can get right now. I'm going to rant at BB, and see if I can make him laugh. He's not an easy audience.

OH! ... and there are "mean girls" in my class, too. Elle Woods! I need you!
