spent another night trying to get moveable type working, which it is, except for one sniggly little thing which worked the first time i tried it but not now. and it’s frustrating the shit out of me. grr! (if you use mt with the <$MTEntryNext$> tag, let me know if you’re having problems, please?) i also made a batch of spring rolls for appies tomorrow night, cleaned the kitchen, watched gilmore girls<\/i>, made veggie fajitas for dinner, did laundry and phoned meghan.
\nhey, i think that’s productivity!
\nwatching the student protests against the tuition hikes on last night’s news got me to thinking about the great opportunity i had to get a degree without having to rack up debt. my father always said that if i wanted to continue with higher education, he would pay for it. he did, too. all my tuition, all my books, even my bus pass. he wanted me to have the chances he didn’t. unfortunately, the stubborn pride i inherited in equal parts from both parents got in the way of that. i didn’t want to ask him for more money, even if it was for school. now, as i watch the interviews with these twenty-somethings who graduate with thrice the debt i have, i shake my head and berate myself for being a stubborn oaf. ahh, what’s another regret, huh?
\nanthony phoned again yesterday. basically, he wanted to know if he’d gotten the job (which he didn’t), but didn’t want to be too pushy and phone ann herself. we chatted for a bit, i consoled him about not getting it, and before we hung up he actually mentioned our getting together to see a movie or something in the future. i know he’ll never call, and i won’t call him, but it was still nice. he didn’t have to say that. then again, maybe he did mean it. wow. funny thing is, i’m going to be at the mall he works at today and i could drop in on his turf for a change… naw. i look cute today, but not that cute.
\nhave i mentioned the latest car problem i’m having? well the other<\/i> rear wheel bearing is howling like a wind tunnel now. then there’s the acceleration rattle which is getting worse. stupid car. i need to phone the mechanic and let them know i’m bringing it in on saturday. boy, it’s a good thing i have the super budget which has put money in my savings account. *grumble* i actually dreamed about taking my car to the garage last night. it didn’t bode well.
\nokay, that’s enough mundane crap… time for something insightful! well, i don’t know if i can manage insightful this morning. how about something slight amusing? i’ve noticed lately that all my socks have started falling down halfway through the day. every pair. i don’t have a single pair of socks which stay up. it’s not even like they’re all old, i just bought three pair at xmastime. it’s actually starting to annoy me quite a bit. i hate the feeling of slipping socks. then there was the realization that i only own three colours of socks. black, grey, & white. it’s funny because i used to be religious about matching the colour of my socks to the colour of my shirt. yes, really. i would actually twitch a little if they didn’t match. i felt incomplete. of course, half my wardrobe is black or grey, but i don’t much care what colour my socks are anymore. mmm. maybe my socks have picked up on this change in attitude, got depressed and that’s why they’re all slouchy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
