.:reflections of twilight:.

Sorry I haven’t written up an honest to goodness post for a while now. Not a lot has been happening lately in my life or work to really write about.

We did have plans to go the Central Florida Highland Games this coming weekend, but things are kinda up in the air right now. We’ve been going pretty annually for the past couple of years because it’s fun and we get to see a group we like by the name of ‘Albannach’. (Ysa, it’s the place where I got the scarf and such for you that one year).

However, there’s a chance that we might not be able to go. For one thing, they raised the ticket prices from $15 to $17. It might not seem like that much, but for those of us who are between paychecks it is. They raised the prices not so much for inflation, but for including a night program that we generally skip because we are on the road by then.

Plus, mom hasn’t been feeling that great lately and she doesn’t think she’ll be able to handle walking around all day with nothing but porta potties (I can’t say I blame her on that. I hate using those when I feel good). Our usual comrades are also having financial woes as well, so it might not happen.

It’s a bit disappointing because I was looking forward to going, but if it can’t be helped than I suppose there is no use in being upset over it. It’s an annual thing, so there are plenty of other opportunities.

But, there is a bit of a bright side… at least for me. If it turns out we can’t go, I do plan on making a trip to the local dollar theater to see ‘Megamind’ once again and perhaps eat at my fave deli right next door!

Well, I was able to fax a copy of my Birth Certificate to HR so that it can be used to prove that, in fact, I am indeed a legal citizen of this country. I still need to find (or get another one) my Social Security card, but the urgency is diminished.

I had to go to the storage place and make a payment. Turns out we were two months behind because we never got a statement. This wasn't a problem before, but only since they changed ownership. It was a good thing I did since the lock was cut off and our stuff was slated to be put up for auction. It took a decent chunk out of my wallet though, but what're you gonna do...

I was able to use my Photo Shop (the previous version I had, not my newer one... thankfully) to fiddle with icons. I'm not posting because I'm not completely finished.

Parents, lock up your children, Creepy McCreeperson is free... *shudders*

Mom already picked out movie for tonight. Walk The Line, which we recorded the other day (even though it's technically my turn, I don't mind so much since I want to see it to).

Trivia of the day: The primary purpose of growing rice in flooded paddies is to drown the weeds surrounding the young seedlings — rice can, in fact, be grown in drained areas.
