    I'm not even sure any more if I'd rather be alert or tired
     Work, work, fuckity work. I spent a slight majority of my work hours today calling people to let them know that we ain't got their shit because the people that make our shit didn't think that we'd need this much shit, so they were all "Fuck that shit, we're not making a shit-ton of shit in this shit-hole economy, have no one buy all our shit, and then get stuck with this shit!"

    Then I chose a different cuss.

    Regardless, some of these people placed their order over a week ago and were none too pleased to find out that not only had we not yet shipped their stuff to them, but we didn't even have it yet! Yay for getting chewed out all day!

    In spite of that, I'm not depressed. I am apprehensive though, as I am not tired despite waking up at 4am and doing quite a bit of walking (as I do everyday). I don't want to lay in bed and stare at the back of my eyelids not sleeping. I guess I'll waste time on the internet.

    So I'm sitting here, firmly on my ass, thinking that it's odd that I'm not dreading the coming week. Part of the reason is probably because I've finally become much more engrossed in "Elvenbane", the book that [info]sinnamongirl loaned to me. Now I just need to finish that and get on all 14 volumes of Hikaru No Go from [info]slr2moons. At least I got things to read.

    Hmmm... maybe I should try to clear my plate before I borrow that other book from [info]inkytwist...

    In "Dumb Things I've Decided To Do Since Moving To Oregon", I'm determined to travel 15 miles out of my way for gross-ass Long John Silvers. I have a dumb craving. Maybe it will dissipate before the weekend gets here.

    3 weeks and 2 days until my vacation.

    In financial news, I seem to be getting some small things under control. There are still plenty of big things running rampant with absolutely no control, but I'm getting one of my credit cards (the one with a smaller balance) paid off fairly quickly. As soon as I do, I'm going to try to make big payments to pay off the other credit card. Then maybe I can start working on my delinquent student loans.

    Ok, that is officially enough thinking about my debt if I don't want to be overcome with anxiety.

    I am still in a fairly good mood. I am going to try to keep that as I attempt sleep.

    Current Mood: nowhere near tired enough

    Feeling better
     Some things that have helped me feel better after this past week:
    -I got to socialize with three different people yesterday. Social contact does me a world of good.
    -I realized that I'm actually starting to gather friends here in this city, mainly through [info]damnportlanders (so thank you for pointing me there, [info]rae_beta (PS - I have not seen you in several weeks, and the last time I did, I don't feel like I was great company. I shall have to email you to see about possible hanging outs if you are not too busy.))
    -I am starting today with coffee and Shawn Mullins. If you only know him from "Lullaby", you are doing yourself a disservice.

    And now on to laundry and other exciting things. I really need to buy real food.

    Current Mood: better

    Aw, hell naw.
     As of this posting, A Softer World seems to be down. I will not stand for this. Can I just not connect to it for some reason? Did Joey and Emily suddenly decide "Fuck it!"? Did evil space pirates kidnap them and their servers? WTF??

    The Internet has reached perfection.
     fucking delicious, which describes itself as "Animals. Foodstuffs. Gratuitous profanity."

    It's like an "icanhazcheezburger" directed straight at me.

    Gotta be a tapeworm
     I have been ravenously hungry all fucking week. I'm not going through a growth spurt. I sit on my ass all day. I'm fairly certain that I'm not pregnant. What the fuck?

    Damn good article
     Five Geek Social Fallacies

    It's old as dirt in internet age (12/3/2008!), but it's still a good read. I did a lot of head-nodding while reading it.

    Holy goddamned shitballs.
     There's a "Let's annoy the ever living Jesus Fuck out of [info]knastymike" competition at work today, apparently. It's probably a good thing I forgot my matches at home.

    EDIT:
    Listening to this all goddamned day.

    Kosher eats and Bill Hicks
     Those topics are not related, nor will I attempt to relate them here.

    So while hanging out with [info]sinnamongirl last night, the topic of what is and what is not kosher came up, as it does. I am somewhat fascinated by this, though I can't say I have any good reason for it. Nonetheless, I've been trying to think of a good kosher pizza, and I'm not sure I can. (Where "good" means that I would enjoy it, not you nor anyone else because this my own damn LJ.)

    A big reason for this is that I am still woefully ignorant of what is and is not kosher. I know some of the "big" things, but there always seems to be so much more to it. For example, I just learned yesterday that cheeseburgers are inherently not kosher, as meat and cheese should not be eaten together? (Also, man, I may be getting everything that was told to me completely wrong.)

    I learned not too long ago that a lot of cheese wasn't kosher because of the rennet, but I was completely unaware that cheese + meat = NOT KOSHER.

    Side note! Rennet: ewwwwwwww. I'm so glad that the vast majority of Tillamook cheese is rennet-free. While I'm not at all a vegetarian, food spiced with cruelty just isn't my thing. And considering that the rennet used in cheese is harvested from calves raised for veal, I'm glad to avoid it.

    But back to the pizza. I know there are kosher restrictions on bread, and I've no idea if "normal" pizza crust could qualify or not.

    Anyway, that's been bouncing in my head for no reason.

    So on to Bill Hicks. People like Bill Hicks' material. He is praised on The Internet as one of the greatest comedians ever, though I'm sure a lot of this is because he died young and thus his legend grew. I was pretty ignorant of his material, so I decided to get a couple of discs from Netflix. I'm in the middle of "Sane Man" (apparently filmed in Austin), and I'm not so sure this is for me. I'm only 20 minutes in, but most of that has been pretty tiresome. His material seems very cruel and vindictive, his attitude selfish and petty.

    I'll keep watching, but I hope it gets better. So far it's just been "non-smokers are poopy-heads and people in the southern US are dumb".

    Maybe I just like more laid-back comics? I mean, I love Jim Gaffigan and I think Mitch Hedberg was one of the most awesome people ever. Eddie Izzard is also way too enjoyable. I wish Elvira Kurt would do more stand-up.

    I guess I'm just too good-natured? Or I at least just like good-natured stand-up, I suppose.

    Current Mood: bleh

    /incoherent rage
     It is now Wednesday. My temp company supposedly mailed my check out on Monday. It has never taken more than a day for mail from their office to get to me. Suddenly, when it is a check and not just a paystub, it is taking several days.

    Seriously. I need my paycheck. I am officially freaking out. Maybe I will take a sleep aid tonight.
    2:16 pm
    I'm posting!
     Hey, did you hear? [info]bluenautilus is really a space pirate! I'm going over to her place to crap in her bed.

    Fucking shit, I'm still picking tiny shards of glass out of the callouses in my feet.
    12:25 pm
    Fucking seriously?
     Just checked my checking account online. I didn't get my direct deposit paycheck on Friday, though I've been spending money on things like groceries and bills as though I did. And rent and car payment are due soon. I hope I can get paid before next Friday. Calling the temp company first thing Monday morning.

    Well, I was feeling a bit better. Fuck all that now.
