Urge to kill... RISING!

Well, this week has been off to a great start so far...

I'm behind on my work at my job and there is no relief in sight thus far. My rebate I filled out for T-Mobile didn't come through because they said it was incomplete (WHAT?!?!) and I also discovered I'm ineligible for a stimulus check because my mom listed me as a dependent on her tax return. SNAP SMASH!!!

Plus, the pumps at the gas station are telling me I can't buy gas with my card for some reason. I KNOW I have enough money in there to at least do that! Stop crapping on my parade, life!!

Also, I think I'm PMSing. Terrif.

On the bright side, I was able to get my hands on a copy of MarioKart, which is awesome, BTW. It's such fun! My rating is 5th overall, but I hope to improve the more I play. I also read a magazine article on The Force Unleashed. It looks really cool. I'm pretty excited about it.

I also picked up a copy of Naruto 30 and Saiyuki RELOAD 8. Furuba 20 should be released soon. We're getting VERY close to the end.

We went to see Get Smart this weekend. It was pretty good.

Now I'm off to crawl under the covers and hope things start to improve out there before I get knocked upside the head again...

Today In History: 1961
The Antarctica Treaty, which made the Antarctic continent a demilitarized zone to be preserved for scientific research, went into effect. The original treaty, signed by 12 nations two years earlier, was revised in 1991 to include a ban on mineral and oil exploration for 50 years.

I told him gee i hope your happy with your extra money. Not only did he make me owe more when it came time to file (I owed, i didnt get a return) but now I dont get a stimulus. So he told me I could keep the dog money (I owed him for dog vet bills from when cookie had her surgery) but it still blows fucking ass

I was the same way. I had to pay and I didn't get the stimulus. Mom got hers months ago (which I now know was also part of mine). So, instead of getting my GPS like I was planning on, we used to to keep from getting evicted.

MAN LIFE IS GOOD!!!! DDD:

Is it Mario Kart DS? If so we could totally exchange friends codes or something :)

Nope. Wii MarioKart. Although, the way my internet connection is, I wouldn't be able to do any WiFi competitions anyway...


Thrilling...

I HAVE MARIOKART. WE SHOULD RACE...as soon as I figure out how to get on the internets with the console. Do I just need that little plug in thing that looks like a usb flash drive?

Have you tried Mario Paper yet? Too addictive. I've lost count of the hours I've invested into it. I sit down and plan for only an hour of playing, then next thing I know, two hours have gone by.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm also behind at work. It's because two of us in my department are away on holidays, which means the department has been cut in half—the newbie half being the one that's left behind to handle a new client that just went live with our software two weeks ago.

They're also the most demanding client we've ever had--they email us issues/request at 1:00 IN THE MORNING. Go to sleep, seriously :S

Anyways, hope things look up for you! At least Monday's over...

AWESOME!

I have yet to figure out how to connect my Wii to the Internet... my connection is wonky as it is anyway.

No, I haven't. I have played Mario Party 8, which is also loads of fun.

Well, a few weeks ago, I'd finished with my work and I spent a couple of days with nothing to do. Now, since some of my work came in a lot later in the week, I have to continuously catch up. I get new stuff in every week. Generally it takes me only a couple of days to do it, if I have nothing else to do on top of that. Inevitably, I have other stuff that comes in that I have to do as well... Urgh.

BUT! I must think positively and try to no freak out in the long run...
