I took a bit of a day off today.

[apocalypsos]

If by "taking a day off," you mean, "stared at both projects I need to work on and totally blanked."

It's not a writer's block. It's more just me being stressed out and generally depressed. I was in such a bad mood today that I let myself have Cheetos and Sprite just to get the urge out of me. It worked like a charm ... I've kind of become addicted to Cottage Doubles the past week anyway.

But ... yeah. I started the day by going through the classifieds, which did nothing for my self-esteem, since 45% of the listings around here are nursing, 45% are trucking, and the other ten percent are either too far away to be worth the drive, the kind of crap it's not worth taking even in this shitty economy, and jobs I'm pretty sure will turn me down anyway. Not that I'm not going to send them my resume, but still. I keep meaning to call unemployment to ask them when my initial bit runs out and my extra thirteen weeks starts up, but I kinda don't want to know.

I was supposed to go to Jess's for movie night and I skipped. I'm not going to feel any better driving down there and watching whichever comedy she's got, or Twilight again for that matter. Unsurprisingly, right now I'm curled up on the couch watching I'm A Celebrity and I actually feel a little better, so there's that.

Oh, and I've been debating the plasma donation thing again. Urgh.

Also, I got up this morning and found out from ye olde friends list that minotaurs passed away on Sunday. I'm going to miss him, especially every time I post a Christian/Olli clip and don't get to flail with him about how adorable they both are.

*sigh*

I have no reason to hate Mondays right now but I really didn't like this one.

EDIT: Oh, also? Yesterday they tarred a driveway near my house and the entire block reeked. I was hoping for the smell to have gone away by today, only to find out the car dealership decided to burn a bunch of garbage or whatever behind their garage this afternoon and proceeded to stink up this end of Main Street. FML.

you should donate the plasma anyway; it saves people's lives. out here, they don't even pay you for it; if you get paid, that's just bonus.

Wait, minotaurs passed away?! What happened?!

He passed away of a massive heart attack Sunday morning. :(

I'm sorry to hear about blanking, and especially about minotaurs. I have pretty much nothing to do with the slashy fandom (not in a fandom-y capacity, if you know what I mean - I love slash but I don't go to cons or the like), but it always sucks when we lose someone.

I don't know if it'll make you feel any better, but the Ghostbusters game is coming out in about 45 minutes and my ass is gonna be at Wal*Mart at the stroke of midnight to pick it up. I am not afraid of no ghosts (nor midnight Wal*Mart customers).
