I have had a headache all day :( Well it's only 12:30 now but still. I just took some Excedrin Migraine and after taking it I realized, I didn't look to see if it's one pill or two... I've taken it before and I'm quite certain it's two, but I didn't check today, which is something I do obsessively. Oh well.

August was pretty groovy. Bunny and her ma came out :) It was a crazy-busy few days but fun. And I wasn't sick, ha ha! Hmm... hell if I can remember what happened for the rest of the month. Looked for a job (still lookin), looked for ways to amuse myself (still lookin, ha ha).

I finally did do the reformatting thing on my computer. It was scary :( I did that and the Windows reinstall thing by myself but some of the drivers were being stupid (I could only see 16 colors, and couldn't get on the Internet) and so my dad took it to some nerdy dude who fixed it, score. I think I've got everything back now though. Yay me.

The weather has been nice these past few days, where nice = not hella hot. It rained on... yesterday... Sunday, yes. It's still pretty cool outside today, and Pepé was shivering :( Because we just got them groomed last week and now he's naked, ha ha. Right now he's sleeping on my bed, snoring even.

That's pretty much it. Oh, my FTP program that I love still won't work with this site for some reason so I've been using Windows FTP dealy, which is intimidating to me because it's all DOS-y which I haven't used in... god... almost ten years? I think I remember taking a computer class in junior high, and the computers were all dumb, and we learned how to use DOS. Or I'm imagining things, oh well.

Safeway sucks ass. At least, the one here does anyway. All of the cashiers seem to be about 15 years old, with more interest in talking to their fellow cashier friends then getting all your stuff checked out. And the card-slidey thing they have is stupid and I had to slide my card A MILLION times. Well, not a million, four or five. I should have gone to Raley's, and I would have, but apparently one of my brake lights is out :/ Not like I think it really, really matters, but it would be my luck to be noticed and get into trouble. How much trouble can you get in for for having a brake light out? My bro told me right as we were getting into the car to take him to school. Also the cool dealy in the car told me, but what else are you supposed to do when you have to go somewhere? Blah. Oh, and it had to be Safeway because I wanted a jalapeno bagel :::drool:::

Last night I stayed up late (11:30, ha) to see another episode of that "How Clean is Your House?" show. It's so great. These two British ladies go to the homes of disgusting Americans to clean them up. Really, the first episode was so gross... It was this girl whose cat puked all the time, and the girl said the puke was harder to clean when wet, so she'd let it set. Only... once it set, she never bothered to clean it up then, either. Also the poor cat had his litter box so full of poopies that there was probably no sand left. Ugh. And this girls fridge... she had dairy products in there that were over six months old, and they showed some sour cream that looked more like something you'd find in the sewers. Ew! It was so gross that I could not look away. The next time my mom whines about me not cleaning something right I'll just point out that girl and the lady from the show last night. Her microwave = biohazardous zone, I swear. Her fridge was bad, too - she had food (a whole chicken, for instance) unwrapped, and NOTHING had lids on it. Bleh.

Yesterday my brother got this cool catalogue of science stuff (scientifics) and since then I've been all nerding out on it. I *so* want the paper making kit... I vaguely recall doing that in elementary school. I think we put newspaper in a blender or something, then you press it into this screen to dry. That's badass. Now I'm wondering if maybe I should have studied science-y things but you need weird scary math for that stuff (don't you?) and I don't LIKE weird scary math. Even nice, easy math bothers me.

I'm super much pissed off at myself for gaining a few pounds back :( Today I put on my belt and I can still get the dealy in the hole that signified my less-largeness but I can't really breathe, so I had to put it in one higher up (which is still one that I had to put in the belt myself... if I ever have to use one of the holes that actually came in the belt originally I'll punch people in the face :/ But wah wah wah...

What've I been up to? Not the hell much. Last Friday I went to Kaiser to get a prescription and my prescription had not made it through somehow, but they ended up fixing it, though I did spend like an hour and a half there altogether. That kind of bites. Saturday, nothing to my recollection. Sunday, my grandparents came over for awhile and we played cards... it was groovy. Monday my mom and I took the pups to the vet, which is always an ordeal (both the drive back to p-town and the actual visit). They didn't get any shots, just Pepe got some spray for his itchiness (which he does not happen to like) and bought some Advantage. Tuesday... yesterday? I did something but what WAS it? Oh, just went to Raley's. Blah.

So, really, I have not been doing anything, which is not good. I need to find another job like soon. If all else fails I suppose I can try for "holiday help" somewhere I wouldn't normally work :/ As if I'd normally work anywhere, obviously. I also haven't really been writing despite "best" attempts to do so. There's a new dealy I want to work on but I only know the middle, not the beginning or the end, so it's kind of irritating.

I was dreaming something interesting and possibly important this morning right before I woke up, but now I can't remember what. Damn.
