Thorny Thursday

Ok ok ok.  I did nothing of the list I wrote yesterday except the eating with the kitties and reading myself to sleep.  Which, in all honesty, is not true, strictly speaking.  C came home last night and we watched "Elizabeth".  Well, I flitted from one to the other, and he watched. 

Tonight though, I will not go home yet, and head over to dinner at C's resto.  Wow, I hope the kitten's poop isn't so bad when I get home.  Crap.  We need more litter.  Pardon the pun.

I will now get on with it...try and figure out a way.  My friend will be coming over tonight and we will try to jam for next week's little singing extravaganza.  Until then, I must think of the litter, and how to get some dinner.  I'm starving.

Wily Wednesday

Today I came in to work late.  What's new.  When you've lost interest in something, I think, and there is no way you can get that interest back, however HARD you try to get yourself back into the groove of things, it is a done deal.  FINITO.  Stop kicking the dead dog so to speak. (And geez, I'd never kick a dead dog)

My friend PTA came in today for an audition in my company as a VJ and I just hung out with her til her audition time.  During which, I went back on this keyboard and chatted, typed, and rearranged the layout of this blog.  It was almost....cathartic in a way.  Trying to let all the cobwebs out, and the good sun shine in.  Something like that.  Made me feel better anyway. Lighter in a weird way. 

SO!  I will plan tonight's activities at home.  Here I go....again:

- I will throw out the stuff in the fridge that isn't good to eat anymore because I didn't do it the other night;

- Will eat dinner at home, with the kitties;

- Make lunch for tomorrow and bring to work;

- Try and read the book I bought about SEO;

- Try and write more of the PAT story;

- If neither of these work out, take a pill and knock thyself out;

- Read a book while waiting for the knock out.

MUST GET TO SLEEP EARLY-ISH.  MUST  MUST MUST TRY. 

Should I bring the laptop tomorrow to work so I can work on the Pat story?  Or should I just copy it on to a thumb drive? 

Wow.  Life is so hard.  ;)

I have a lot to get done tomorrow so in a way I'm looking forward to it.  I hope my friend has finalized and confirmed the last band for the gig on Sept 3rd.  I can't believe he ust woke up.  It's 6pm!  HAHAHAHA!  Now, THAT is a real vampire!

Ok, I must get a move on.  If not, I won't get out of here on time.  And BOY do I want to get out of here!  That and I'm just really hungry. 

Thank the stars for Yo-Yo Ma.  I wish I could play like him when I grow up.....or when I'm able to afford a cello and lessons.  Ah, another great frustration in my life.  But that can be examined another time.  For now, I will stop blogging and get myself home.

BON SOIR MESSRS ET MADAMES!

Fine....

*Sigh*  So pretty.

Tiring Tuesday

I'm in full blast warp speed girl crushing on Lily Allen. Just thought I'd start with a happy thought. :) People are telling me her 2nd album, which I just bought the other day, is a little too poppy already, which means that I'll probably also love her first album too, probably more than I do this one.

Moving on, today was slow, and that's saying something from someone who actually hasn't done anything except sit around and watch youtube all day. Ok that's not true, I've also done some work for those projects I've got, which I have realised this morning with a panic-stricken gasp, are all lined up for next week. C's project events must MUST start the marketing soon. The gigs need to be put up everywhere I can manage.

So today, I actually made the poster for the cartoon gig we're having next Thursday, on the 2nd. I hope it's ok. Took me a bit of time, and my lovely friend, Leo, tends to sleep when the sun is up and wake up when it goes down. These musicians, I tell you. :) We also need to confirm perhaps one more band in the lineup. All should be settled tomorrow.

Man, and I'm SINGING on Tuesday next! I just realised that too. Just NOW. Dear oh dear.

I've finished the contracts for the artists for C's project events which should be ok with everyone. Now it's just a matter of getting everyone together at one time just to sign it all and go through all the logistics, especially what kind of paint they will need for the wall painting exercise. I've at least also locked down MTV and a magazine to come and cover it for us.

Damn, I hope the other band I'm supposed to play for forgets about our jamming this week. I could use a break truly. Then again, it's a long weekend so I should stop being a ninny and put a lid on the complaining.

Long weekend! I can't wait to just hang about and not do anything, except maybe clean the flat as well as make food for the rest of the week. Throw out the unnecessary and rotting (ew) food in the fridge. Hmmmm....maybe I should do that tonight. Or tomorrow. Just to free up some space. Then I can get some meat from the market and make a whole bunch of patties: fish, pork, beef...then just reheat or cook them up for myself during the next week.

I've also decided that I want, nay I NEED a red jacket. I feel I would look good in one. Maybe something like this:

Kate Spade

Oh so cute!

I've also decided that for the day, I'm done with my cartoons! I must peel myself away from the Gummy Bears, Last Unicorn, etc. And yet.....

Ok. I must focus on dinner tonight: grilled chicken and chimichurri sauce. yes that's it. Must grill those asparagus too. Yes....ok.

And NOW back to Jem! :)

Shelves

This gave me an idea of where I want my shelves, FINALLY. I hope C agrees. ;)




Shelves need not be straight one on top of the other after all. :)

Maudlin Monday

After having such a long weekend, it is hard to come back to a job you really don't like. There I said it. I don't like my job. I'm not happy anymore. I can't trust anyone to NOT screw me over. People are setting me up for things that I never commited to, and will use that as an excuse to the higher powers to show was an inept individual I am and not getting on with the team, blah blah blah. I don't really care. I'm here for the paycheque. And for the hours that I can blog and search through the web. HAHAHA!! I know it's unprofessional, and it may not look good on the CV, but at this point, I don't really care so long as I'm getting the paycheque.

Enough negativity! :D Now to regale you with something....tragically funny....I suppose that's the word for it. If it were ever made into a film or skit of some sort, I suppose it would fall under the category of "dramedy". ANYWAY!

Yesterday was a surreal day. I got locked in my own bathroom. Yep you read that right. I got stuck/locked in the damn bathroom. FOR TWO HOURS. Now, this being the PHilippines, the humidity level is high and therefore, when I got out of that bathroom, after trying to use pliers and several screws to bash the door in, I was physically soaking wet. My shins were sweaty. Aside from that, when they (C and my lovely best friend Em who is also my neighbor) bashed in the door, I hid behind the toilet, in the shower, and when the door finally went down, I jumped for joy, got my shorts caught on the faucet in the shower, and the entire thing came off, which spouted water everywhere.

In hindsight, it is HILARIOUS. At the time, my elation was deflated as quickly as it came.

Anyway, moving on. It's Monday, it's a new week, a happy time, beginnings, etc. So looking forward to this week, these are my general plans:

1) to finish writing the story for my friend, who I'm teaming up with to write that weird children's story...I owe him the other half...and I WILL EDIT IT!;

2) Help my friend/bandmate put on a fundraising gig for her dad byt confirming the bands by end of the week, fingers crossed;

3) To confirm all the meeting details for the Art weekends at C's resto, the little project I'm doing for him;

4) To follow up with all the job opportunities that are coming my way, projects and whatnot;

5) Keep on with the band, and make sure everything's cool with that and come up with lyrics for one song;

6) Try not to sleep at work (hehehehe);

7) Try to keep my head for two weeks til I hear from that job.....man I really want it!

8) Relax for the upcoming long weekend. :)

I'm thinking of bringing my laptop to work. I don't know if that's a good idea, if I have to commute to work. Hmmm...If it's one of those days I'm riding with C then maybe. I think I can get more things done that way and I can also transfer all my files from my office computer to my laptop already. NICE.

I'm sorry to be such a grumpyburg today. I'm just not up to being too happy. I suppose I'm also tired with the bit of drinking I had last night with friends. I swear, I need to keep off the juice for a while. I should be happy about being able to organise my bookshelves into a more presentable state! And that I managed to fit all of them in...wow yeah. That really was a feat. And I couldn't believe I'd read all those books (though I was proud too hehehehe). I should take a picture and put it up here.

As of now, this picture will keep me happy for the rest of the day, and hopefully make me forget I don't have running water at home until that stupid faucet is fixed.

Aaah my kittens. The one in the back is my little boy Panthro, and the one stretching itself out there in the foreground is my little girl Katara. They make my life happier. :)
