Taking Back the Blog

June 12th, 2009 | Category: Bekka

The story goes like this: I have a website called glostix.  Kev likes the name.  He jokes about getting his own website with a similar sounding name, so we can be a matched pair.  I say, well hey, why bother with that when you could just be part of glostix too?  And he’s like, oh hey, ok! So I set glostix up to be a joint-blog, with a shiny new layout, rearranging all of the pages (permanently jacking up orders and numbers of said pages), and WHAM!  We has a blog.  Except… nothing.  Nudge after careful nudge, prods, prompts, strong hints and suggestions, nothing.  Which has brought me to this day, when I just sort of gave up.

So now everything is back the way it was.  Leading horses to water, etc.

In other news, I still can’t find a job.  I’ve thrown out countless applications and resumes, gotten callbacks, interviewed, did my thang for nothing.  I’m starting to worry less and less about it, though.  Even though it pisses me off that everyone is looking for “experience” but no one is willing to give a girl a chance to GET experience, it’s not worth stressing myself over.  I wish I figured that out before I started smoking again, because now I have to quit all over again, which is surely going to make my “don’t stress it” attitude hard to stick with. Still, not stressing the lack of work.  If we can survive til the start of next semester, we’ll be just fine.

I Can Has!

August 21st, 2008 | Category: Bekka

I can has most of my textbooks for next semester for $350. Erm… that is to say, I spent that amount, and I still have more books I need to track down. Should’ve charged more on my Plus card, but what are you gonna do, eh? I figured that was a good estimate… bleuh. After exhausting my Plus acct, I went to Half Price Books to track down a German-English dictionary (yaaay!) and found one (Yaaaay!) for six bucks (YAAAY!). And also a copy of Thom Yorke’s The Eraser for $7. Which was fair enough. I sure as hell wouldn’t have paid full price for that load of fart noise, but it’s a fair price to pay if I just want to have it in my collection and be a good little Radiohead fan. Hmmyep.

I has also acquired my SHOOS which are dang snappy. I sense problems out of the right heel, but that ain’t nothing a pre-emptive blister bandage won’t fix. Many thanks and kisses and huggles to Kev for getting my feet all set-up for class :3 Me schmuvs! *haerts*

kitty creepers!

Hmm… wot else… new case for my laptop… Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on DVD for $3… erm… put my parking permit application through… actually yeah, I think that about covers it. So yeaaah, it’s been a pretty good week. Expensive assed week.
