a small bird has built a nest in our porch light casing. the lid has been ajar for years, and it brought twigs and crap in that catch on fire periodicly when we turn the light on. it looked at me when i got home from work today, hopped out and flew away. i like it.

everything went well with the landlady, she seemed more concerned about us than the fact that we were leaving a month before our lease runs out. that was good considering the aggravation we underwent this morning with husband's ex-work idiots. i'm still pissed about that gem.

husband got some money in the mail from an ebay gimp that finally decided to pay up and took me out to dinner at the china dynasty. i had sushi, moo goo gai pan with shrimp and rice, vegetarian chow mein and some crab rangoon and stuffed mushrooms. it was delightful and indulgent but i still behaved. we haven't announced our moving date to the landlady yet because she wasn't home yesterday, but we'll do it today. it's official now, my hamster and all her accessories will be adopted by a sweet little cousin of husband's i like, apparently she's been begging for a hamster ever since she saw mine, and her mother was delighted when i asked if they'd want her. i don't think she could survive the trip what with all the vibrations and bouncing around in the truck, so everyone wins!

i got the new design finished for namaii and i like it even though it's ridiculous. husband finished painting and we are going to go tell the old broad (landlady) that we're moving out in the end of may, hopefully she doesn't get pissed and withold our damage deposit or anything. i had a good long talk with my mom last night about things i was worried we'd fight about, but we didn't fight so it was all good. i get paid monday, and it's about time because we're all out of rice vinegar, nori seaweed and pickled ginger, so no sushi for me. i love the shit and i figured out how to make tomago (the yellow omelettey loaf thing) then ran out of supplies. it's tragic i tell you. i'm soaking beans for a vegetarian chili because i don't feel like eating spaghetti hoops until payday. husband complains because i always want to make out after we eat garlicy popcorn and oniony stink food. i've lost 8 pounds over the last 3 weeks and i'm bored and lusting candy but sort of pleased with myself. it's slow as hell and getting boring but not bad by any means, and i get less headaches now, which is good. i wrote an 18 page thing (i hesitate to call it a short story because it's not really got a plot, and not dry like an essay), which husband refers to as my manifesto (i like that), the other day at work, about my personal experiences with religion and how i arrived to be the firmly convinced atheist that i am. i'm going to type it up so he can read it (my handwriting switches back and forth from scratchy cursive and messy print) and i might post it here, i'm not sure though, lots of young christian girls that praise jesus in their weblogs like to email me with compliments and shit, it's bizarre. i don' want to make their heads spin.

i have a belly full of hummus and home made pita bread. tonight is the osbournes and i'll only get to watch the first few minutes of it because i have to scuttle off to work, hopefully husband remembers to tape it for me. husband's ex-work continues to enrage and annoy us, this time they've messed with his unemployment checks by telling the employment commission that he has 2 weeks vacation pay and all this crap, which he doesn't, so we get no check for two weeks and a big 300$ deduction for overpayment on their part on some mystery day, they won't tell us when. i think if i wasn't working right now i'd be at that idiot factory strangling the human resources cunts that caused this insanity in the first place. on a lighter note i'm halfway through tropic of cancer and i beat my all time high score of pocket tetris last night. demanding work, i know, but somebody's got to do it. i miss moish; i want to make her what i just had for dinner and watch her glow and be cute.

i've decided this morning that i am going to cut pigs, birds, cows, sheep, rabbits, horses, dogs and whatever else they might put in hot dogs or other meat type products and limit my consumption of animal flesh to fish. i pretty much eat this way anyways, but it's something that used to be very important to me, sort of ceased to be, then was revived when i read this book and was shocked and disgusted by the graphic accounts of the slaughter and horrid treatment of animals, workers and the processing of meat products in the stockyards of chicago at the turn of the 20th century. obviously this isn't 1906 anymore, but still, i don't feel the same way about ham sandwitches. i'm keeping fish in my diet because i love sushi, salmon steaks and tuna/mandarin orange salads too much to give them up, and i think the fish at least live free for a good part of their existence, so it's not all evil. speaking of evil my click thru advertising links have been pretty successful. so much in fact that i've added them to this page in the form of little dollar signs at the bottom of each entry. i hadn't planned to, but i'm not going to make it misleading or anything, or beg anyone to click on it, just let it be known that there's a way people can help me with just a few seconds of their time. it feels kind of cheap and whorish but then what form of generating capital doesn't?

my ear hurts and i am complaining like a little kid. i tore through the jungle by upton sinclair last night and finished lolita by Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov which was mildly disturbing but well written none the less, i read a book of short stories by kafka the other night but forget the name, and something else, but i forget what that was entirely. my eyes sting and i'm again running out of books to read.

livejournal losers like this one make me mad. my bandwidth isn't public domain and niether is my art... whatever though, what rights should i have, after all i'm just the chump that created and shelled out money to host the shit! it's official now, i work 5 days a week, 46 hours (ick) which means minimal playtime for midgee but (and believe me it's a BIG but) i get many dollars, so it balances. maybe now they'll stop harrassing me to come in and work at the drop of a dime. i decided even though i don't have a mac, and this is purely by circumstance because i think they are groovy creatures, that i really like apple icards my mom has been sending me them forever and the pictures are always so cute. ever since bluemountain.com went and made theirs a pay service (travesty) i haven't been able to find many with the kind of images i like that aren't a pain in the ass like yahoo, so here i am, and i sent my mommy one for easter. my ear is very sore and throbbing sometimes but not too seriously, it's so fresh that that's to be expected at this point anyways. i'm working on the seventy bzillionth redesign for my domain, i can't make up my mind and whenever i get halfway near being done with a theme i decide it blows and scrap it. how long has this been going on? months. futurama was very funny and home movies is on in a few minutes, i have to make my lunch and enjoy it at the same time. multi tasking is hard.
