I had to wake up early in order to take mom into work. Normally I'd still feel a bit annoyed, but this morning was hampered by the fact I didn't sleep well last night. I went to bed at about 11:30 last night, which is early for me. I sailed off to sleep fine, but then around 2:30, my brain decided it's had enough sleep and wakes up. Of course, I have to wake up along with it. So the majority of the night, I'm trying to tell my brain to put a sock in it when all it wants to do is party. Ya-hoo.

This month's Red Tide® is pretty light actually. It came on Monday and now at Wednesday it's tapered off for the most part. So I'm happy about that!!

I want to thank everyone for their testimonials they gave! I shall definitely be adding them soon, like perhaps today! If you haven't yet, and still want to add your own testimonial, go here.

The lady from the apartments called us over the weekend. Mom finally was able to get ahold of her Monday and she said that a two bedroom one bath was opening up. She asked us if we still wanted a two bedroom two bath and we said yes. Space-wise, that's just the best option for us. She said that the rent has been raised to between $805 to $815 a month. When mom told me I was like O_o WTF!! I know inflation is a factor, but it couldn't have been that bad in the course of a few months. We did see in the paper a house 3 bdrm, 2 bath) that was in a neighboring area for $775 a month (with a pool). I told mom she needed to call them!

I didn't get to work on as many icons yesterday as I wanted to. I did make one from the lil' skeleton guy from the inside of 'Death Note' 4, and he turned out pretty cute. I named him Mr. Death. I might trot him out for around Halloween. Also, I'm working on a new background/wallpaper. This one'll have Mikami on it. Not that I still don't adore Takumi! I mean, he's scrumptious, but Mikami is pretty hot too, even though he is a member of Light's Death Squad. So I've enjoyed fondling playing with him a bit. I don't think I'll change things right away, though.


And, according to ANN, Viz has acquired the rights to Watsuki-sensei's (manga-ka of 'Rurouni Kenshin') newest series, 'Buso Renkin' to be released starting in August. I think I'm gonna check it out.

And I broke down and watched the final episode of FMA on YouTube. I just knew I couldn't wait until Saturday. I mean, I'll still watch it on Saturday, but I'm not so anxious now. And I have links to the movie as well if I want to watch it sometime...

Today I plan on stopping by the bookstore to see what they have in. That's pretty much my big agenda for the day. I'll have to see if anything else comes up.

Trivia of the day: Before Wally "Famous" Amos became a well-known cookie mogul in the 1970s and 1980s, he worked for a time as a William Morris talent agent.

Man oh man, sleeplessness seems to be running rampant today! I also got to bed earlier, but I could not fall asleep. A classmate of mine also had a sleepless night. Just what goes on in the world?

Good luck with the apartment.

I have no idea, but the next time my brain wants to party, it can do it without bringing me along with it.

And thanks...

I gave a testimony! Late, sorry about that. ^^;; I hate that about your mom's car. I hate playing chauffer when I have to get up early, too. Especially when I'm an unsafe driver in the morning. I fall asleep at the wheel too easily.

GAH, that's insane! Call for the cheaper apartment! That woman's off her gord!

I saw it. Thanks. *snickers*

This morning I had mom take the car herself. I was just way too tired.

It's a house actually and I do plan on getting after her about it...

Wedding? I missed something...in an earlier post you said something about a wedding. I must've missed a post somewhere, haha.

Some friends of ours are getting married the last Sunday of the month and we've been invited. I just hope I can find the shoes I want to wear beforehand!

[pathseeker.livejournal.com]

How old are they? It's always interested to hear about weddings. Probably cuz I'll never have one :P hehe. Also, how long have they've known each other? It'd be interesting to have a psychologist for a friend. Free counselling! *lol* Especially if you're about to get married, that's marriage counselling. I know if I ever get married, I'm definately getting marriage counselling.

In their forties. First marriage for both, too. I'd say they've known each other for about a year or so.

And I'm not a full fledged psychologist... yet! I still have to actually go to grad school first. It costs money though, so it may be awhile...


And marriage counseling is a must, even if there aren't any difficulties in the relationship.
