...oh my!
so this weekend has been fairly decent.
yesterday i ended up working that photography job i mentioned a few days ago. i had to be there at 8a.m., and after a mix-up of where i was supposed to be, i found the place, and worked til about 3p.m. it was a lot of work, but it was really fun, and i really look forward to working with them in the future. the wind caused a huge problem, seeing as how we were right in the middle of about four baseball fields, and so i came home with a nice orange tint to my skin and clothes. regardless, it was awesome.
after i got home and showered, rob and i went out. first we went to starbucks to get drinks and pumpkin loaf (the best food in the world). i ended up getting a pumpkin spice latte. it was delicious. from there we went to fry's so rob could pick up some stuff he's been wanting/needing. then we were on to best buy because fry's didn't have the new katamari game, so bb had it and we also picked up the complete first season of 'lois and clark: the new adventures of superman' dvd box set. i love that show! so then i had talked rob into finally making the trip out to the ikea store that opened over in frisco a month or two back. so we headed out there, and walked around for a bit. we found a couple of bed frames that we really like, and some other stuff, however, unlike everyone else that i know, we actually walked out of there without purchasing a single item. go us! :D
so we came home, ordered some olive garden to go (which was just absolutely incredibly delicious) and watched some lois and clark goodness. it was a really good day.
i think today is going to be a lot more laid back. just rob and i playing games, watching movies, and eating left-overs. i need to put my whole photography project together and get it ready to go for class tomorrow, but that's all that i really need to do today. although, i could go deposit my check and not feel so broke anymore, but why waste the gas? :) anyway, booger is tearing stuff up, so i need to go. hope everyone's weekend has been as enjoyable. later!

good mood post...
i just found the following information about the RAW show that rob and i will be attending on Oct. 3rd:
"WWE Legends confirmed for the show as well include "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Jimmy Hart (who is the manager for the current NWA World Tag Team Champions The Naturals in TNA), Hillbilly Jim, Superstar Billy Graham, The Iron Sheik, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, Harley Race, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Chief Jay Strongbow, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Nikolai Volkoff and Koko B. Ware."
how fucking sweet is that shit?! i am so freaking excited!!!!!!!!!!!
in other news, i got all of my photography work done earlier today. i spent three hours in the lab, and realized just how much i love doing that stuff. it's funny, because i'm not a patient person, but when it comes to doing that stuff, i become extremely laid back and chilled about all the wait times on doing stuff. i absolutely love it and i think i've finally found my calling. plus, everyone in my class comes to me for help which is just awesome, and makes me feel really good about myself and my work. yay!!!!! oh! plus, the other day we had to put our photograms up on the viewing board, and everyone had to critisize them and stuff, and the first four or five people who spoke pointed out mine saying that that was their favorite! :D yay!!!!!
ok, well i am off to take the rest of the day for myself. i went to bed early last nite, and got up early this morning and am feeling rather well rested and good, so i'm going to try and get some stuff around here done :) later!

it's a girl!...
so our beloved booger is a girl. at least we think. who knows! even the vet had trouble telling, and originally thought it was a boy because of how booger looks and acts, but eventually he decided that what we've been calling 'he' is actually a 'she'. but other than that piece of news, all is well with the kitten. she's as healthy as can be, and all agreed that she is, in fact, insane.
in other news, i found out today that my other job won't be starting til october 20th. this is good and bad. first, it's bad because, well, that means no paychecks til sometime after then. it's good tho because it gives me some of the free time i've been wanting to kind of de-stress and have a break from the retail world. it's also good because my sister's birthday is september 30th, my mom's birthday is october 1st, and the coolest thing ever, RAW is october 3rd! so now i just don't have to worry about requesting those days off. :D
so check this out. here's the card for the October 3rd edition of Monday Nite RAW Live, from Dallas, TX. keep in mind that this will be a 3 hour show seeing as how it is the first televised event from Dallas since 2003 *and* it's the first nite of RAW's return to the USA network:
WWE Champion John Cena, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
the return of Triple H, Mick Foley, Mr Mahon, Shawn Michaels,
Shelton Benjamin, the Big Show, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair,
Intercontinental Champion Carlito, the Masterpiece Chris Masters, Edge,
Kane, Lita, Tag Team Champions Hurricane and Rosey, the Heart Throbs and many more.
how in the hell could i not go to that show????? tell me! so yeah, we're going. rob got tickets on saturday, and while they are not the best seats in the world, they are on camera side, and we're not at some weird angle or anything. so w00t! i'm so excited. :D
anyway. i went to bed late and had to get up early, so i'm going to go take a nap i think. i shouldn't, but i probably will. :D later!

massive update...
Ok, so i haven't been the most talkative, nor updative person this week. my apologies. here's what's been going on.
this past week was my last week at work. it went well enough. i set my anger aside and just rolled with the punches, so whatever. as of yesterday at 3p.m. i was officially free of the corporation, and decided to celebrate by spending way too much money.
before work i dropped about $50 on some stuff i've had on hold for awhile, and a really cool wodden statue that i wanted, because i could still get my 50% discount, and i figured why the hell not.
from there, we went to filmdepot, because it's only the coolest place alive, and i bought some film that i need for class, and i also ended up buying a new strap for my camera (the really cool old style hippie ones) and a camera bag because i was lacking one. that stuff was not cheap. while there i also helped out the shop guy by when looking at their assortment of used camera's, by explaining how the internal light meter on a Minolta XG-1 works. since this is my own personal model of camera, i had recently been on a search to figure this problem out, myself. after posting in a minolta forum, and talking with my professor, it became clear that my first assumptions were right, and that the touch sensitive light meter only works in a certain mode. you first set it to that mode, check the light, and then adjust the aperature and shutter speed. so some guy had apparently gone in and was looking at purchasing this minolta xg-1 that filmdepot had, but couldn't get the light meter to work, so the shop owner (who is this very funny and sweet asian man)had gone ahead and marked it down to $100. now that's an amazing deal on a minolta, and had i not already owned that exact model, i would have snatched it up in a second, but i took the time to explain to him how it works and everything, and he was very thankful, and ended up repricing it for whatever it was originally priced at. i rule :D
from there we went to hobbytown usa off of walnut hill and rob bought some oil or something for his r/c car. then on the way back into town we decided to stop at a different hobby store so that rob could look for some steering linkage that the other store didn't have. luckily these people had it and so he was able to finish his car last nite. it's so freaking fast, it's awesome.
anyway, while we were at filmdepot i was looking for light meters because i don't neccesarily trust the ones on either of my camera's. well, the only ones that they had were analog and didn't seem to be in complete working order, so rob and i talked and decided that i could probably find one online for cheaper and that was digital and working. so here's the thing...cheaper wasn't neccesarily the case. after looking around on a few websites it became obvious that this item is not something you just go "pick up". minolta brands started around $450 and went from there. so i decided to try ebay, because hell, you can find anything there. sure enough, i found a Minolta Auto Meter III with a buy now price of $87.95. so i bought it. i had to create an ebay and paypal account, but alas, just another step towards fully bringing myself into this century. :D the next step? well according to jason, Netflix is my final frontier.
anyway, so that's what's been going on really. booger has a vet appointment tomorrow to get his first round of shots, and maybe to look at getting him declawed, but we'll see about that. rob and i have a dinner to go to tonite which should be interesting. and as for me personally, i am now officially unemployed until my new store is finished being built. it's a bizarre feeling, but kind of freeing also. probably won't be once i run out of cash tho :D

| Your Birthdate: March 20 |
 You have a warmhearted nature and emotional understanding that constantly seeks affection. You are very prone to become depressed and moody, as emotions can turn inward and cause anxiety and mental turmoil.It can be hard for you to bounce back to reality when depression sets in. When things are going well, you can go just as far the other way and become extremely affectionate. |
What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
