A special day

So this week has been fairly entertaining.  WHOS ENJOYING THE STEAM SALES?!  And the other ones like the delicious GreenManGaming and their eternal 20%-25%-35% off vouchers.  Love them to death.

So I've been heading to the city a few times a week lately to the job agency since I'm trying to find one.  I really need to get one soon so I can actually WORK and earn some money.  Its frustrating as hell to be unemployed but I do my best to distract myself so that I'm never depressed over it.  I do pretty good.  Need the money for a few things.  A bit of work on the house is needed.  Need to save up to see my grandmother in the next couple years as I'm a little worried of losing her since my grandfather passed away during christmas period last year.  Oh sure majority of my family are there for company but majority of them are absolute scum who dont spend enough time with her.  When I was visiting there 5 years back or whatever I spent almost every day sitting with her and grandfather for hours just chatting.  I'd like to think I used my time there with them well.  But I'd like another shot.  After all once my grandmother passes away I wont be visiting that country again.

Another thing I'd like to do is visit disney land.  Its something I've wanted since I was a kid.  I want to ride those god damn teacups.  My friend heads there every july for the comic convention in san diego.  So I was planning to skip over at the same time as him if I ever managed to save up enough.  I'd probably just stalk Ariel for the entire time too lololoollo.   I'm pretty sure I'd also get a chance to meet Jed while there.  Theres no way he'd be able to resist not stopping by for 5 straight days of disney land if I were there.  And I guess if any of you lot happen to be there, if I ever manage to afford the trip, we can all ride the teacups together!

So far in my plan of saving up, which has been planned for years and still not managed, I have somewhat gone in REVERSE.  Last week a couple glorious things happened.  I got a lovely parking fine as I misjudged the time I had parked my car and the amount of money I'd put into the stupid meter.  So theres a grand $40 to the council to do nothing for the city with but instead put aside to fund their 3-4 times a week morning tea breaks where they all stand around for an hour doing nothing but chatting and eating.  Since I worked there in the past I know what these scum do.  I also never joined in with their crappy tea breaks. I dont like socializing with people at work.  Especially when I dont know 90% of them.

My cat also managed to get a problem with his claw.  It bent downwards and stabbed into the pad of his paw and wouldnt come out so he was limping for a few days.  At first I thought he just injured his foot somehow.  The second day I realized it was his claw.  Sadly by then the next day was sunday so we had to wait till monday for the vet of my choice to be open.  I like them and trust them and dont feel like going elsewhere.  He was also fine as he spent most of the time sleeping like usual.  But after some claw clipping and a couple shots I was down another $120.  I'm also told, and I expected this since I brought it up with the vet, I'll have to take him back in about a month or so to treat his teeth as one of them is looking a little sorry so a clean is in order.  Theres probably another $300.  My disney plans will never happen.

Oh, speaking of plans, I'm told Jed is preparing a couple huge posts soon.  I'm also fairly excited to read them as well.  So lets hope he doesnt fully slack off and actually manage to put them up this week!

And before I forget, the other day was my birthday.  I'm now 37 lololololooll.  So heres me enjoying a declicious satay!

    1. I'm so happy my current car is only a 4 cylinder engine. 1 tank for 2 weeks. My previous car with its deliciously powerful 88 skyline engine would of used twice the amount for half as long.

    2. 8 cylinder. 15 miles to the gallon. (too lazy to translate)

      Costs 60 to 70 US dollars a fill-up when the tank isn't even empty. $300 a month for insurance.

  3. Happy Belated Birthday, Con :) as a gift, I give you air from my lungs...of course it's going to have to travel around the World before getting to you (whenever that is) so it might have traveled through some people on the way.
