Nothing New

Haven't posted anything in a while. I don't know what it is about being in front of my crappy laptop in my dirty apartment that just makes me want to stop thinking. I should be looking for a job. I should be finding a job. Shouldn't I have had at least ONE job interview since that last one?

I was also just about to buy a netbook, just so I could work outside of the home. It's nice to get out once in a while. Then I was going to buy a new laptop to replace this 5 year old piece of crap. In the end, I got cold feet, and I didn't buy anything. It's just as well, I guess, since I have no job.

I have been trying to find work in the video game industry. I am not a computer engineer or programmer or an artist. I have never worked in the industry before. I know it's the hottest industry or whatever, but still, come on. One company can't call me? I'm that unemployable? I resent being told that I suck by an entire industry.

In any case, it looks like I may not be able to go home this Christmas.

DENIED!

Didn't get the job.

I wonder how hard it is to become an alcoholic? They have all the answers.

What an asshole I've been!

What with my parents' visit and the fact that I'm intensely lazy, I haven't posted in an indecent, nay downright pornographic length of time, and I let all my fan down.

What's the blog etiquette, or "bletiquette", regarding addressing a comment poster directly in your blog entry? I somehow get the feeling it's not right, like I'm breaking some sort of fourth wall. Yes? No? Anyways, Grumpus, you are a very kind person for taking the time, even just to type a few lines. I hope something pleasant happens to you.

Anyways, I've never posted a picture before so here's one for practice:

Parental Visit 2000

My parents are visiting from Edmonton. We're having a pretty good time, seeing the city, goin' to Costco (it's like Disneyland). They are enjoying my cats.

On the job front: no, not yet.

My parents LENT me a hefty sum to pay for October's rent and bills, which sucks, of course. To think I would still need my parents' help at my age. Fuck, who would have thought my SISTER would end up as the successful one?

I find I often think of things to blogabout (not a typo; "blogabout" is a new word which I invented just now when I typed it on purposes)...sorry, that should be "about which to blog" (whoops, there goes my new word) but when I finally get to my computer I have lost the inclination. Blogclination? Anyways, that will TOTALLY change once I get my Asus EEE...

I woke up at 6 PM today

I didn't mean for it to happen. I went to sleep last night at about 3 AM, got up at 6:30 AM to feed the cats, went back to bed at 7:30 AM.

I think I woke up at 11 AM, had breakfast...mooched around...then I went back to bed. Oh lord. When I woke up it was 6.

Not a productive day.
