A kid is taking me to the cleaners. Not even six and she's raking in dollars. Says she's gonna buy a castle with all the money she'll make from my "Swearing machine mouth." What have I created. >_>;
Cheers, and done. The Publishing company focuses of self publishing. None of the author's books have decent sales on Amazon, though the one and only review I found inspires me to keep going with my game plan.
I've just learned to play the 'yesterday, all my troubles ...' part of The Beatles' Yesterday song on my gob iron. There's no consistency yet, but I definitely recognised it on at least one of my attempts. Yes-ter-day-all-my-troub-les -4 +4 +4 +5 -5 +6 -6
A friend of mine who was staying with our mutual friend and his family made a swearing jar deal with the five-year-old daughter. After a couple days of "One dollar please"'s he gave up and put a hundred in the jar. (Hilarious that it's five-year-olds.) Yep. Versatile, too, which is why I'm so fond of it. Few words, swear- or otherwise, can be used in nearly every part of speech. Meanwhile, pretending you're on live TV and will lose millions of dollars in endorsements if you swear in front of the wee one may help you avoid paying for that castle.
Listening to Alison Kraus and Robert Plant on a full-on audiophile rig from original recording quality source files. I'd forgotten how good it can sound. 'Wish it was my kit, sigh. Some day.
Coffee. Coffee is the morning deity. Its mantra fuels me for the daily mundane rush. Praise the beans - OM. In other news, my niece made a grand total of zero dollars yesterday! Ha! She may not be able to buy a castle, but she still wants a doll or what have you, so before my older brother comes back, I'll take her to Toys r us later today. Though, she should wait for Fao Schwarz to open up here. Uncle Moon would most definitely buy her a better doll then.... Side note: I'd make a really good dad.
Braining running at twelve percent right now - I just got up. Can't make coffee yet because it requires thirteen percent. So I'm having a breakfast of ginger beer and Cheetos. Oh, yeah - also waiting for the house to warm up. Northwest Washington has cool nights!
More of a tea man but I respect any morning beverage gods. Can't go through the day without a few good cups of tea. Got a blackberrt and apple blend recently I'm excited to try. Also you and your neice sound adorable, she's lucky to have a Uncle Moon. Congrats on not going broke though. I'm eating lunch ATM. Chili from a can, because it's quick, fills the stomach, and is hot. All you need even if it's not the tasteist lunch. Like to "set my week out" on Mondays. Make phone calls, plan appointments, get things around and ready for projects, and that kind of thing. Lots to get around actually, taking pictures on behalf of a local symphony Saturday need some formal Wear, and to get my camrea ready. Then I'm working a haunted house this year getting props about for that and planning photos for a few exhbits and trying to find writing time. Gonna plan the eerk out nice, than still do everything last minute I'll bet you twenty bucks on that lamo.
Well now....saw the kiddo off to school. Her dad will pick her up, so I'm "free" of the babysitting. The quotations on "free" are there because I didn't feel confined by babysitting. In fact, it felt oddly good. My fatherly side, which is purposely neglected, will miss that...parental feeling, I suspect. A new day, however. It shall be spent loading up a large U Haul truck with boxes (Boxes..oh boy oh joy) and some light reading. Other mundane happenings are optional and cannot be discussed or refunded.
Ive been meaning to get back into harmonica. I can play but I'm probably rusty now, it's been a while. My mom taught me, it's a underrated insturment. Heading to the mall today, to put some old electronics through one of those Ecycle ATM things. Gets rid of them without harming the environment and a little cash for a starving artist like myself never hurt.
This sounds awesome. I have never heard of them before. What a great idea. Like an electronics equivalent to those coin machines?
I am eating Jelly Tots-again. You'd think I'd have learnt from my bad experience with them yesterday, but apparently not! I am hoping I will get away with it this time as: 1-It's afternoon, not evening, and 2-I had a proper meal first. Only time will tell.
Just finished a 40 minutes work out I'm going to try keeping workouts and relatively "good" eating-habits up the next 3 months and while I started yesterday today was my first bigger work out.
I remember Jelly Tots, haven't had them since the kids were small, always liked 'em. I'm eating a lot of lovely lovely Camembert cheese on proper little cheesey biscuits, I got it on a yellow label (£1.50 from M&S), This cheese is so much better after it's gone a week or two out of date although it does stink a bit. Sadly I'm going to suffer later though, 'should get some good nightmares which I hope to remember and add to my notebook of ideas for horror stories.
Trying to eat myself into oblivion with imitation after eights, whilst wallowing in depression and self pity. I feel like my life is full of shit, and I can't seem to change any of it. I'm pissed off, fed up, and fucking sick of my so-called life.
About to kill some time watching a film, as my counselling appointment was cancelled due to the Orange weather warning in place for today. Gotta love the Atlantic ocean. Spoiler #fuck Ireland
I'm placing random 25¢ bids on Ebay. So far I'm in the lead for a camera strap, a desk blotter, a turtleneck, and about a hundred microfiber lens cleaning cloths.
I'm fixing my bed. One of the legs was completely bent. I'm 98% sure Lost had nothing to do with it... Eta: Not fixing that fucking bed. Someone (let's blame my ex) screwed the thing on too tight and I can't get the leg loose
Love that idea, 'think I might try it, (UK though so we're not in competition) Do you have a rule on postage costs?
Almost always free shipping, that way by the time it comes I've forgotten completely about it and it's like a surprise birthday present from my past self.
