nothing lasts forever

La. Used Netflix for good, not evil, and snagged a movie for Mumsy and one for Widget. Remind me, when I have the money, to get him a magazine subscription to something he'd like. That way he can read/look at the pictures and get mail, which is something everyone loves. I was reminded of this when I went digging through my room the other day, all in a mad search for various junk that apparently is hiding from me. I did, however, manage to find my box of letters from Sahlan, which made me happy and sad all at the same time. Happy because I didn't remember where I'd put them, sad because I haven't spoken to him in so long, and he was one of those people I adored back in the day. Any by haven't spoken to, I mean, y'know, I don't even know if he's around anymore. Which is weird to say, but like Ryan, he had a habit of taunting death. Also found the letter from Beth, and realized that someone tried awfully hard to seem older than she was, despite flitting through France, at 16. Thing is, I think I thought the same thing back then. :P Of course, the content of said letter made me twitchy at the time, and is just now going away, but still kind of lingers. If I were smart, I'd torch most of it, but I'm not, and I think it's the last thing I heard from anyone on that side of the family, so there you go. I'm an idiot.

Work was work, is work, and there's not much to say about that. It doesn't help that I am painfully broke, and will continue to be next paycheck, too. Of course, that is a direct result of my new shiny DVD/VCR and next go round will be paying off Uncanricky and my cable bill, so it's not like I lit fire to my money and then couldn't figure out where it went... It's just that I was supposed to have enough to pay the cable bill this time, too. And I would, so long as Mumsy had used all her money. [complicated.] But either she did and isn't ready to face that, she did and I'm having to pick up the slack anyway because I'm just that much of a kick me in the face puppy, or I goofed more than I thought and what's left actually is hers. I really don't know, and so long as I'm unsure, I can still guard what little is left and tell myself that anything left over is going towards the cable bill and that, in turn, will leave me a little less broke. Or something. Still trying to figure out the odds of me surviving the next week on $5 and the change I've thrown in various drawers. If I still have that box of Special K lying around, I should be set. If not, well, that will complicate matters.

I know, I'm endlessly fascinating.

Endlessly fascinating is not how I'd phrase the extras on Underworld Evolution I should have sent the movie back when I was done with the actual flick, but I kept it for some reason that now escapes me. Why, oh why? So blah. Though it was interesting to know that based on the gore, it was flirting with an NC-17 rating. I feel better about wondering if I was wussing out when unable to truly enjoy my slightly underdone lunch while watching it.

*fiddles with the flix* Fun. Kay, I should go sleep. Yes. Any minute now.
