It's been generally slow. I'm actually like a pig in poo right now. Grey and drizzly instead of the usual snappy and frosty.

LOVIN' IT!

This is the basic configuration right now and a paint job is already planned. The other project is constucting a SAW style squad automatic in the near future. I keep looking at getting more markers and realize I have all the makings of kick as stuff already.

That and it keeps my hands busy. Stupid COD: WaW was trying to take over my life.

I woke up this morning to the sound of water pouring down from my ceiling. Apparently the apartment upstairs has a bad drain. Looking at the amount of water in the two buckets I used to collect it, I would say two to three gallons. A lot of fun mopping the floor. Well it needed it anyway. Then I decided to do some cleaning. So it was get of your ass day and do something positive.

It's okay, MsA... My father and I (and maybe my mom, too) obsessively clean house when we're procrastinating school work. Not reading, not driving around, not watching TV... cleaning.

I gotta say I just don't understand how people can get so insanely greedy. I was just reading about how some lady is suing the guy who created circe de solei (sp?). He's like a billionaire of course and I'm sure even the lawsuit wouldn't be a dent in his bank account but that's not the point. The two dated and had 3 children together but never got married. I think someone said they might have met the restrictions for common law marriage but that's not confirmed. Anyway after they broke up he set her up in a multimillion dollar house and gives her a $36,000 per month check. That sounds pretty darn nice to me. Nope she wants $50 million up front and $50,000 per month.

What possesses someone who's set for life to want even more money? I just don't get it.

Honestly I have to wonder how often a person's lawyer has a role in that sort of greed. If she wins the lawsuit, her lawyer will be getting a huge payback. Assuming it's been several years that she's been just fine with the house and the $36k/mo deal, why the sudden change? New lawyer whispering in her ear convincing her that she could have so much more, while seeing dollar signs himself?

Now, I generally have a huge respect for lawyers. I'm not one of those people who hate all lawyers. But the best and the brightest wield a huge amount of power, once they figure out how to game our legal system. Some use those powers for good, and others use it for evil (*coughFoxcough*). Any time I see this sort of "Wait, after all this time, I'm owed so much more!" story, I have to wonder about lawyers using their powers for evil...

ok yeah. I know a lawyer ( ok I know a lot of lawyers) who is a personal injury lawyer, but he's very principled and works hard to find cases where people are being injured and shortchanged by insurance or being misled. In one case he fought an insurance company who was denying chemotherapy for a 8 year old girl with cancer. Luckily he's good and he won:)
But there are so many more lawyers who are just so all about what they can get and not about what is fair or right.

See? A lawyer who is smart, knows the system, and uses his power for good! There just aren't enough of them.

Honestly, I think it's because you usually get paid better for using your powers for evil. Which brings us right back to the greed issue.

I was just talking to a friend about that. She's getting certified to perform CPR and I told her that my mom (who's a nurse) told me, "if you're certified to perform CPR and you try to help someone and you do something wrong then you can get sued. However, if you don't have any official certification and you're just trying to help someone then you can't be sued." So, I've always avoided official certification. Which really is sorta horrible if I'm ever in a position to help someone and I don't know what I'm doing. Things like that about our legal system are sick.

I will wait and see if Dollhouse works. It has a plot I have never seen before. And the trailers indicate there will be twists and surprises. So I am hopeful.

No rain in my apartment today. So the manager seems to have found the problem. They may not have repaired it, but at least they must have stopped the apartment above me from using their bathtub.

So I was thinking about life and stuffs on the way to work and I realized that I never expected to be where I am now. In the whole world I ended up coming and staying home. This is something I never expected for myself.

Then Outkast cued in my head and I sang along:

Cause the whole world
loves it when you don't get down

And the whole world
loves it when you make that sound

And the whole world
loves it when you're in the news

And the whole world
loves it when you sing the blues

ugh, most of em are fine, but I'm not so sure about Creative Writing.

See, I've been writing for a *long* time, and even though pretty much everything I've read is still worlds better than anything I could put on paper, I still like writing just for the fun of it, just to get what's in my head down on paper (I'm a narrative writer, not a poet).

My creative writing professor is a poetry fan. That's fine by me, except that he wants to really stress poetry in our class, rather than just give us a taste of poetry and a taste of narrative. Okay, I'm not a fan of poetry, but I'll stick with it anyway just cuz.

The other thing is the 'prose sketches' he has outlined on the syllabus. As a writer I'm used to just going with the flow, writing whatever's in my head at the time, and even if a teacher gives me certain parameters to stay within, they're usually pretty loose as long as they stay with the subject matter.
This guy has *specific* topics and *tight* rules for us to stay within, which has me wanting to throw myself off a cliff.
--Now, I get that the point of this is to challenge us and make us work within a specific mindset and all that jazz, but it's like 'you're restricting my creativity by being so specific with these assignments.' I thought the point of creative writing was to explore your imagination and see what you find, not give essay-esque guidelines that leave you cornered with very few options. How can you 'find your artistic voice' (which is what he titled the goal of the class) if you're not allowed room to breathe?
To put it bluntly, I feel like he's cramping my style XD

I've done the cold thing. It's not nearly as bad as gloomy IMO. I'll take the negative degree weather for a few seconds and then get inside and be fine all day. The gloom comes in through the windows. The cold doesn't.

Best weather? Partly cloudy and upper 70s. Done and done.
