Deeper and deeper...

I need to upload more icons. But I'm kinda lazy right now. (>_>)

And in political stuff (aka 'crap'):

HRC is digging herself a hole deeper and deeper than ever. First, there are rumors that her campaign is increasingly in debt, with bills for campaign functions still not paid from January, and possibly later than that. Then the various things that have happened lately. Bosnia, anyone? Not to mention her most recent comments to a television station in Billings, Montana (CBS affiliate KTVQ) about how "Obama wants to stop the votes". The funny thing is, she accepted Michigan and Florida's fate earlier, but only recently has she become more of an "advocate" to allow them to vote again. Ironically, it's not Obama's fault, but the states' fault. And we all know HRC's policy when it comes to the primaries,
A state is only important and valuable before the vote; afterwards, they don't mean a hill o' beans if she didn't win.

What WON'T this woman do to secure her place in history? Anyone remember this link about HRC? If you still think HRC should be president, I suggest you go to that link and read that thoroughly. Then tell me again you want her as president.

I personally still with that Edwards was still in the race, but he, with a grace that HRC will NEVER have, bowed out because of circumstances as they were. I would love love LOVE to see an Obama Edwards presidential ticket.

I'm trying to remember what the heck I wanted to write just now, and my mind went blank after looking for stuff on John Edwards. It's been very quiet as far as he is concerned, with only a piece about how his wife criticized McCain's health plan and thought HRC's health plan was as good and close to Senator Edwards'.

Anyhow, I have two days off. It's getting bad. I work one day and feel like I need two more days off. Grr.

I also finished "The Bone Doll's Twin" by Lynn Flewellin and absolutely loved it! It's not sweet or sensual, but dark and a little creepy (not so creepy actually, to me anyways) but it is a good book about a country that is slowly ailing because the line of warrior Queens is broken by an usurper and this King has killed every female relative in order to insure his own son's path to the throne. So when his sister bears twins, a wizard, her apprentice and a witch of the Goddess perform to ultimate sacrifice in order to bring about what the Oracle had seen. Should a Queen return to the throne, the country would be protected and would flourish. The girl child is hidden with dark magic with the appearance of her dead brother. Ultimately, it is an awesome book. I want to read the next two, but I'll have to wait when I have some extra money. *Sigh* I hate waiting.

I've really got to just relax...

Too much self-indulging drama.

He is my friend. I will continue to see him as such.

I got my copy of the second book of the Twelve Kingdoms that Tokyopop is releasing. A very easy read, but oh, I adore it so. It makes me love Taiki all the more.

I've also started a book called "Eyes of Crow" by Jeri Smith-Ready. I really like it. It is a fantasy that is based on some aspects of Native American beliefs. I want the next book in the series, but I've got to cut back on spending and you know, read the books I have had since last year that I wanted to read and bought. -_- I'm really horrible like that.

And I shaved my head again. My hair was bugging me because it looked horrible and I just wanted to do it. I'm in that state of mind again. *SIGH*

I'm feeling restless and I don't care about my job anymore. Even though it's a great job for me because I can do a lot of things you might not be able to do at a regular day job, but it's gotten so that even though I could be written up for being late so many times, I just can't get up the determination to get to work on time. So, with only 3-4 months until I move, I want to look for another job. We'll see.

Plus, the uniforms are fucking stupid. (Whine whine, want some cheese?) Seriously, we have these really thin shirts that we have to wear beneath these heavy long-sleeved sweaters or sweater-vests and I am generally a warmer person, body temperature-wise. And when the weather gets warmer, I might have problems. Like sweating, and being too warm, which is never a good thing because it bothers me so much.

*SIGH* Now I know I need to change something job-wise, because all I can do about this one is whine and complain.

Also, I've been watching season 1 of seaQuest DSV on Netflix. With a membership, you can watch certain series, movies, etc, instantly on their website. I've been making use of it, and I highly enjoy it. XD

And in one last bit of stuff that I've been avoiding, my grandfather has to get a pacemaker. When Grams told me that he went into the hospital because of heart problems (tachycardia?), all I could think is "No, not someone else."

Currently, 2008 is not a very good year.
