Hello Diary. 

Haha, see.  Like Hello Kitty. Oh, the cleverness.  Aren't I just?  ((no)).

For some reason they don't have a decent hot pink colour on here, so I picked red.

I saw a movie on TV last night where Diana Ross was a paranoid schizophrenic.  I'm glad I'm not a paranoid schizophrenic and I'm glad I'm not Diana Ross.

Today the sun is shining once again and I am free all day to do whatever I...well, okay, I have to pack up my stuff so we can travel South for the weekend.  How lovely.  This weekend is my Grandpa's birthday.  I wonder what I could give to him.  I don't know.  What do older people want?  Their youth back, I suppose.

Yesterday J lost his wallet.  A new Green Card is going to cost $260.  What a time for changing jobs, eh?  Or, should I say a time for losing wallets.  Went to the Driver's License place yesterday so he has some form of identification other than a university ID.  I had to get my photo re-taken to renew my license.  What a crapfest.  I'd done my hair really quickly that day because we were in such a hurry, so you can imagine what kind of dumbass I look like.  And my old photo was so lovely, too.  They kept it.  I looked just like a Barbie head in that photo.  Now I have red hair, not blonde, and I look more like a Cabbage Patch.

All our neighbours are Chinese.  They spend a lot of time speaking very loudly outside our windows with their constantly screaming baby.  They spend a lot of time in the basement below us banging on things and talking very loudly to their constantly screaming baby.  To tell you the truth, that baby is an asshole.  Always screaming like that.  I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl.  It's old enough to walk around, but it just screams and only has half a head of hair.  It's the strangest thing I've ever seen.  When they're outside our windows and when they're in the basement it sounds as though they are actually in our apartment.  They're so rude.  And we are the only white people in the building, so you'd think it would be the other way around, but it's not.  We're super polite.  It's the Canadian. 

Speaking of Canadian, looks like we'll be spending American Thanksgiving in Canada this year.  Suits me.  Then I won't have to see my dreaded relatives and pretend not to dislike them.  I just hope it isn't snowing up there in November.  I bet it will be, though.  Damn.  I was so looking forward to a summer in Canada, too. Just like one summer I will never forget.  November just isn't going to be the same.  No sprinkler walks in the middle of the night. 

Oh my God, I am going to sacrifice that child!!!!  I can't take it!!!

Believing myself to have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right wrist/hand/arm, I forced myself to go back to sleep two or three times this morning, not actually getting out of bed until 11:45 or so.  Went to bed somewhere around 2am.  I love staying up late, but I like getting up early on weekends, too so that my free time seems longer.  Today, though I rationalised that perhaps my stupid wrist would stop hurting if I didn't use it and I couldn't use it if it was just lying there sleeping.

Now I am up and typing, the worst thing for it, right?  Oh well, you can't have it all.  Watching another Lifetime Original of stupidity and eating Andes mints.  It's been raining all morning, sometimes with thunder and lightning.  In 2 hours I will watch Anne of Green Gables on PBS and have a grand time. 

Yesterday Jay and I went to the Asian Market to find yellow curry powder.  It smelled awful in there and as I passed an aisle I looked down to see two big crabs moving about in a brown cardboard box!  They had pinchers and their shells were brown and blue.  I felt bad for them, and told Jay later in the car that we should've liberated them.  But they were so stinky.  We found some yellow curry mix, but I don't think it's going to be what I had in mind.  Should've gotten the paste, but they didn't take debit cards and all we had on us was $3 after giving some money to "fight child abuse" to the people outside the dreaded Wal-Mart where I had to buy shampoo and conditioner (which turned out to be the wrong one.)

Today Jay and I briefly spoke about going to a foreign country to teach English after he graduates.  This is a cheap way to see other countries, have great experiences, and puts your job or grad school application to the top of the pile.  Of course, it is a huge responsibility, but so is a job and so is grad school, and why not have some fun in another country before you sign up for the "real world"?  And anyway, we've both been to the real world (I'm in it right now) and it's not so great.  If there's anything I can possibly do to get out and stay out, I definitely will.  Write a book, go teach English in a foreign place.  Perfect.  I'll do it.  I'm all for Greece or someplace European, like Ireland or Spain.  Somewhere I can still find something to eat.  A lot of people to go Asian countries to teach, but I would starve.

Oh my God!  In this Lifetime movie I'm watching the most hilarious thing just happened!  This man and woman were on a deserted island, stuck there after their sailboat tipped over.  They finally get rescued, but while the woman boards the helecopter, the man is nowhere to be found.  Then we see him being chased by a wild boar...then it turns into a really shitty cartoon and the man grabs the rope of the helecopter and gets pulled to safety, the boar snapping at his feet.  I'm fairly certain they did this because they didn't want to pay for a real helecopter, and a stuntman.  Haha!  God, I love Lifetime movies.  They're ridiculous and entertaining. 

I hope it gets sunny out later on today so I can go for a walk and maybe get a Mt. Dew or something with my change.  If I had any sense at all I would clean the apartment and paint my nails and recycle the myriad cans that are making the whole place smell like moldy aluminum.  Ew.

And lastly, what's with the new ad campaign about friends being the key to helping those with mental illness???  So strange.
