Oh what the hell, she says. I just can't win for losing.

Uh, lessee. The final for my interim COMM 344 class is on the 26th. Interim classes are pretty nice, really. Just a few days of bulling through, and it's done quick.


The contract for the project I was supposed to work on this summer finally got approved, so we'll start work on that this upcoming Wednesday, at 15$ an hour.


The cat I'm babysitting got an abscess. Because it happened to Trauma, I recognized what it was. I ended up having to take Mia across town to her vet, since mine was booked- the same services that cost me about 69$ for Trauma cost 105$ for Mia, unfortunately. At least she has parents to pay for it. Annoyingly, the abscess was a weird shape, so it's still kinda filling up with fluid. Since she's already on antibiotics, I figured I could drain it just as well as a vet could, and have been doing so. (I did call and check with the emergency vet (weekend) to ensure that this was Ok, and they said yes.) So now I'm on cat-abscess draining duty. It's gross, and upsets my stomach a little every time I do it, but...well, what else can I do? Anyway, cat leaves July 1st ish.


Ellen officially moved out. Not really..super keen on getting a new roomie. Hopefully this 15$ an hour job can cover utilities...but not if Mother carries through on her threat to make me pay for my tuition. I miss Penny/Kith. They should come room again. <_<


Played four or so hours of Hunter: The Reckoning with Karl and Justin tonight. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it, even as it's an action RPG shooter type and Justin and Karl are way beyond me in skill. We even beat the vampire boss on our second try. My hands hurt. The original Xbox controllers suck.


Been doing a little writing, too. 


Justin gave me a pair of giant sausage things. Apparently he felt bad because I had been whining about money and then my usual sulk about not having any food- and so he shared a stash he picked up for super cheap at a bargain mart. It was amusing and odd. New thing to add to my collection of randomly given food! (Notably: french fries, skittles, and now two giant sausages.)



I have a new song to like: Rob Thomas's 'Her Diamonds.' A recent fave, alongside Hednoize - Loaded Gun, and, oddly enough, Lady Gaga's Poker Face.


Got my hair trimmed~ the stylist did a weird upwards cut thing that makes the hair 'move' or whatever. I was pleased with it. She also indicated that you're supposed to rinse your hair in cold water to make it shiny. So far, personal observation finds this to be truth, but it might be a placebo effect. Regardless, it's a surpringly nice feeling to rinse your hair in cold water just before ending a warm shower.


Still hating g-mail blogger formatting fiasco.



Oh! Penny/Kith! Apparently Amy's preggers. Or, so I assume. Kass sent me an e-mail with the words "Omedetou, Kate-oba-san!" only, which means, "Congratulations/celebratory event, Aunt Kate," roughly. But he didn't reply when I pressed for details. Harass my sister for me.



Kate, over and out. 3:30 am.

Kith/penny have stable jobs in PA (and family here) so you and Karl should move here.

Also, your sister talks to me approx. once a year regardless of what I do, so you'll probably know more than I about anything.
