Well, I see I’m back to my normal ranking at TTLB. They were working on the system and it messed with everyone’s rank.
Good to know that I’m just as insignificant today as I was 2 weeks ago. :-/
I’m foul, foul, foul!
As Nick would say, “fole”.
Last week was a sucky one and the weekend hasn’t been much better. Yesterday was OK, it was nice to hang out with the comic geeks for Free Comic Book day and it then to hang out with Caroline, et. al. for her shower.
But today has been another frustrating day and I’m over it.
I think I’ll just watch TV for the rest of the night. Fuck it.
UPS coughs up the dough and other oddities
So, it appears that UPS will cut us a check for around $760 for the damage to my Mac. Yay! We may or may not buy a new case… If we do, it won’t be right away. The bent one is more or less workable and we may need to divert those funds for the time being.
I’ve had a totally shitty week with all our Usual Suspects: Insomnia, Cramps and PMS. Nice.
I went to “a” Dr on Tuesday. Yah, she’s an MD, but she was old as fuck and dotty to boot. ::rolls eyes:: I told you a little about it in the previous post – but WAIT! There’s more!! I hadn’t slept much, so I was tired and jittery. She informed me that I was depressed and seemed to be out of it. Uh, YAH, ya stupid old bat, I get that way with no sleep!! I told her no less than 5 times that I hadn’t slept the night before and I was tired and punchy. To no avail. She kept insisting that I was depressed and oh, it must be a bad marriage or a crappy job making me that way… Riiiiight. After a meandering 30 minute “exam” she finally wrote me a Rx for Lunesta, which of course will cost me $145 to fill. This lovely “exam” cost me $125 which will make that fucking Lunesta cost me fucking $270. Great.
Health care in this country is FUCKED UP. On top of all that, I can’t get the dumb bitches in the front office to give me copies of the billing so I might possibly get reimbursed. I am going to have to file a complaint, I’m sure. Just DAMN.
So, yah, it’s been a shit week and I’m glad it’s almost over. I’ll knock out the rest of the magazine site tomorrow and then I’ll go get Caroline’s shower gift.
THEN I SHALL DRINK, BITCHES!!
Just DAMN
The more things change, the more they stay the fucking same.
And that’s all I have to say about THAT.
ACE + Art Shows
I just posted a very amusing story over on LJ that those on my friends list should definitely check out – you’ll laugh, I promise! I can’t talk about it here due to the public nature of this blog, but it’s private on LJ, which is why it’s there.
Anyway, this weekend was really fun and very tiring! We attended the first (reincarnated) ACE con downtown at the Hyatt. We got there late Saturday due to my insomnia issues, but it was OK since the Dealers Room was the biggest attraction for us anyway. The con was just fair, but for $15 bucks, it was well worth it. We see a lot of potential if Pat Henry and the DragonCon empire doesn’t fuck it up. The big star they got was Rosario Dawson of Sin City fame. She’s now collaborating on OCT, a comic being published by 12 Gauge.
We head out to Decatur for the Art House umbrella show. The Art House space is very small and the Umbrella Show was only about a dozen items, so we were only there for about half an hour. We continued on to Doo Gallery for the Sci Fi a Go-Go show by Blast Off Burlesque.
