After these two grow up, I'm going to take a break from this game for a bit. It's actually stressing me out that they die if they don't get enough clicks. *spazz*

I just spent the last half hour tearing apart Steve's office looking for the dictaphone I use. Laura came in and found it in less than a minute. It was between the sofa cushions. She said, "I can tell you don't have kids and have to spend hours looking for remote controls."

Nope, I don't. *headdesk*

I was hoping to get some actual work done today, but that pretty much killed my window of opportunity. I'm heading out of town this afternoon and I still need to go and pack.

I did eat Chik-Fil-A for breakfast, though. Yummy.

I interviewed for a freelance position on Wednesday night. It's a start up magazine that focuses on the Atlanta Lifestyle. They have some pretty impressive backers, and I think it'll work out. I'm just excited because: 1) they pay well and 2) he already told me to come back for a second interview. He told me that before I left the first one, so yay!

The kick off party is in October, I think, and the cast of Entourage will be there. Yep. Even though I don't like that show, I think I could enjoy the perks of this freelance position.

Happy Friday, all. See you on the flip side!

Hi flist!

I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off today. Which of course means that I feel like updating you all on my life.



Now, that I've spammed you with more dragons (please click!), I shall move onto other more real things. :)

Amazon has a free dowload of All Time Low's Weightless here. I swear this song is my anthem. A friend sent it to me this morning and then called to say, "You must listen to this song and get it. It's your life."

Why, yes, yes it is my life of late. It's totally going on the Bewize Soundtrack from 2009. (Does anyone else make playlists for their life? It's the songs that play in the background, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who hears them. That's okay, though, because they mean something to me.)

I had a client meeting this morning, so I drove to Sandy Springs for that. Then I spent the next hour on the phone in the Dunkin Donuts. I had to chase down my interviewees for the paper this week. That was annoying, but I have all the notes I need now to write the articles and an extension from the editor, so... I'll take what I can get. :)

I also get to interview The Drive By Truckers this week! I'm so so excited about that. :D

Oh, and some guy knocked over my coffee in the DD, but when I glared at him, he bought me another one. Seriously, though. Don't F with my coffee. It's the elixer of life, as in, if you want to live, you'd best buy me another cup of coffee jackass!

***********

I have an interview for a freelance writing position with a company called Buzz Entertainment on Wednesday. That should hopefully be interesting and lucrative in the long run. It's at 7:30 downtown, which should be all kinds of sketchy - but whatever. I hope that it turns out to be interesting and maybe I can score some free tix from it to movies, concerts, exhibits, whatever.

Speaking of such things, the interview I did this morning was interesting. The artist on the other end was very "cultured" souding and when I gave him my email address (with the Esq tag) he said, "Esq. As in esquire?"

"Yes."

"As in, attorney?"

"... Yes."

"..."

"My day job is as a lawyer."

"... Oh."

The interview was sort of strained then and I feel like maybe he had prejudged me or something and was thrown when he found out I had a higher degree (gradating the same year as he did with his higher degree from the same institution, in fact). But, whatever.

Of course, it got more interesting when he tried to backtrack from something and told me what to write in the article and I told him that I wouldn't and that I hoped he'd answer my question and as the curator, he owed people an explanation of his vision. *snorts* I only pushed him on it because he was a bit of a snot.

***********

We're going out for Steve's birthday tonight. Wahoo, here we come. He never did figure out that I was mad at him. But, we discussed the underlying issues and I feel better, so I'm over it.

V, Pete, Mattie and I all chipped in and got him a Braves jersey and a gift card to Target so he can buy Season 3 of Big Love (which I will then borrow *shifty eyes*). I hope he likes it.

***********

I'm really tired today. I didn't sleep well last night, for some reason. I kept dreaming that I was reading a book someone I know wrote, but it was so different from anything that she'd write, that I thought she plagiarized it. It was very odd. I also think it had something to do with The West Wing, but it really makes no sense.

***********

I need to clean the litter box, but I think that will wait until later. I want to finish these articles, and then go grab some cake at the office for Steve's bday. Then I have to drive up to Nat's firm to get the stuff to cry sales for tomorrow.

Happy Monday all!

Results - look how pretty they are!

Thanks!

So, I called the doctor this morning to see about getting in to see her. I let them know that I was having asthma-type problems. I let them know that I was uninsured. I let them know that they had been treating me for this since roughly 2001 (same practice, different doctor).

They let me know how much it would cost me to go in.

I laughed in her face and told her I'd take my chances with dying.

So, I've tried to get medical help and for right now it just isn't going to happen.

Such is life.

Whatever. I have sent an email to a doctor friend of mine to ask him whether he thinks I should find the money to go in or not, and I'll go from there.

But even if he says go in, I still have no idea how I'm going to afford it.

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and thanks for the info on clinics. We'll see what happens, but I think that I'm prepared to just settle back into my old routine of "ride it out, see what happens."

If it gets really bad, I''ll figure something out, but I doubt it will come to that.

*hugs to all*

I am finally starting to feel better.

Lord, I don't know what that was, but I repent...

*still a bit shaky*
