Money, Movies and other headaches
"Light the night with a blowtorch and a match..."

I was going to post this last night, but was having trouble with D-land.

This probably won't be too much of an entry. I'm sitting here with a bad headache typing this into notepad because D-land is being a dick. I can't get the members page to load and everything is running really really slow. Typical. When I want to use it, everything slows to a crawl.

I don't know what caused my headache. It could be the fact that until about 8:00 tonight, all I have had to eat today is some BBQ pork rinds and some BBQ corn chips and 2 cans of Pepsi. Ack!

I feel like such a loser. The wife and I were getting worried that we weren't going to have enough food to last us until I got paid. She was getting really down about it and it was causing me to get kind of down about it. Well, I did the what any manly man would do...I ran to my mommy. Yup. I e-mail my mom and asked her to send us some money Western Union. Just like in those commercials only I didn't get to trash a hotel room or go on some cheap Oprah rip-off talkshow. Oh well, you can't have everything. So, after standing in line behind a few of the worlds idiots, we finally got our C-note and proceeded to shop. Did pretty good. Got plent of food and had $18 left over. You know what that means. MOVIE TIME!! Oh, I'll tell you about the whole shopping at Winn Dixie experience in a future entry.

Since about the end of April, I've been going round with AT&T so we haven't had cable of any kind. We've been stuck with watching whatever movies we have on VHS or DVD. We've got about 20 or so DVD's and I don't know how many VHS. Probably about 50. Anyway, I can only watch Shrek, Gone in 60 Seconds or Clerks so many times before I need a new fix. So, we swung by the local Hollywood Video and as our cold stuff got warm and our warm stuff got smushed by the kids, I hunted for a couple of DVD's. I even set a new record, for me. In and out of the video store in less than 10 minutes. And with, not one, but TWO movies. Go ahead...you can touch me if you like.

The evening has been kind of ruined because of my headache though. It began after we started watching the movie and gradually got worse. I think it was my body telling me, "Hey, ya fat tub a goo. Don't go all day and eat just crap anymore. Dick!" I think I'll listen.

On top of that, I had to work tonight. Yup, just got done. I got too engrossed in the movie and didn't realize that it was getting to be so late so I had to jump on the 'puter and get to workin'. Didn't take too long though, because I'm so fuckin' good! And it's just really easy work. Heh. Staring at the computer monitor, however, watching my little cursor jump back and forth across the screen didn't help my headache any.

Well, I'm going to stop and head to bed and see if I can't get the wife to rub my neck or my feet or something in between. If you've come here to read my new diary, and by the counter over there I can tell you have, then you've also noticed the guestbook link. Why don't you take a minute or two out of your life and leave me a message. It won't hurt (much) and you'll get a really really cool gift (a thank you e-mail from yours truly). Can you believe it? And it won't cost you anything!! How could you pass up a deal like that?

Anyways, sleep sound kiddies and pleasant dreams.

Da 'Bear
