The more I post on this site, the more I begin to see that I’m not saying a whole hell of a lot. My typical posts consist mostly of talking about my day, and things going on around town and stuff happening in my life. I’m sure my audience is quite limited but somehow it still seems comforting to know that at least when I’m feeling out of it, I can rant and rave here without the worries of much of anything. I read a posting on WilWheaton.Net weeks ago about how most blogs are talking about what they had for lunch or useless crap and never really saying anything too important and I got to thinking about my own blog and a lot of the time, it is superfluous fluff that is really meaningless, but sometimes I do manage to get something meaningful posted. However, this morning it’s all fluff.
Few things. First of all, I got shafted out of $28 for the first DVD/CD combo sold of the Tormented website because the company that does my credit card transactions claims that my account was in test mode when a customer made a purchase. That’s a pile of bullshit. It SAID LIVE before I let anyone access the store and yet somehow it was still in test mode. I’m not impressed. I’m hoping my customer has the decentcy to understand what happens and is willing to fill out the forms again and this time I’ll get paid. I did however get news that Radioland & Spin-it have indeed sold some DVD’s which is great news. I’m not likely to make a profit but if I am lucky, I’ll break even.
Today is payday and thank goodness. I gotta start paying off some legal fees. The divorce is in it’s last stage and I got the bill so I need to start putting money towards that. I’m hoping to be able to take a chunk of my bonus this month and a chunk of the extra pay in September to pay it off but I’ll have to see. I don’t like the fact that I don’t get a divorce certificate and that I have to apply to get one. That’s irritating but I ‘spose as soon as the lawyer tells me it’s been approved, all is good, regardless of whether or not I have a piece of paper in my hand. But it’s sort of a symbolic thing. Anyone here who’s been through a divorce prolly will understand.
On a lighter note, Joe Schmo 2 was on last night and the original Joe Schmo is on DVD. I may have to go rent this just to get a good laugh again. The new one is different having two people on it but even though the fact that the girl on the show seems to be figuring things out hasn’t caught my attention yet. I guess old Matt Gould from the first one was so blindingly dumb that it made it better television. I hope it gets better. I need my reality TV fix until The Amazing Race starts in July. Now THAT show will kick ass. Tamara’s never seen it but I think she will like it.
Speaking of television, I believe I have diagnosed Tamara’s TV with epilepsy as it seems to be havingt seisures (sp?) on a regular basis now. Once it gets warmed up it’s fine but at first the picture wobbles up and down quite fast. It’s not pleasant. She said she’s had it for years and her brother used it almost non-stop for his Playstation and figures that has had a detrimental effect on it. Perhaps. I think it may be time to invest in a plasma television or at least something the size of our wall in the basement. I mean, that couch IS a bit far from the tube 😉
I take one look outside and it makes me want to go back to bed. There’s no sun, and no sky. Just dark clouds and the hint of rain upon us. I know we need a little rain but I am really not a fan of it. In fact, I wish it was sunny all the time. I could of course move to a place that’s like that but those places are also plagued by hurricanes and other nasty storm weather so no thanks. I can at least be happy in knowing that it’s not winter outside.
Wow. I guess this is a longer than normal post. A lot of fluff this morning. I think it’s because I don’t want to start the day. Finishing this post means I have to go to work and that means likely being bored for 8 hours. I could of course write some virus to wreak havoc on everything and then fix it and look like a miracle worker, but I of course can’t do that having the ethics that I have. So, I’ll hope that something happens all on it’s own. Until then, I’ll find something constructive to do.
