30

I have a serious headache right now. I just painted something with a ton of nail polish, and the fumes are getting to me.

Today was a bit crazy. I took my mom to her doctors appointment to get her some meds; that cold she contracted from me and my dad got worse with her. Now she's on three different meds for the rest of the week. I spent a good part of my afternoon chasing Maxx around my room to my parents' room; he kept sliding under their bed, and every time I went to another corner to grab him, he would go to the opposite corner and slide under again. I had to take a break from laughing so hard. I continued to work on Daniela's Harry Potter scarf. I still have a little more to do, but it's almost finished.

Can I just say how much I hate Spencer Pratt? Him and his flesh colored beard. Honestly? If I were to miraculous see him cross the street while I'm in my car, I wouldn't give it a second thought to make him blend in with the pavement. I watched the finale of that "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" show, and I would love it if someone shot him in the face. No one knew who you were a few years ago, no one will no who you are within the next year. He's just another one of those so called bad ass types who are all hype for the cameras, but can't hold their own.

I just got a couple of texts from Daniela about 45 minutes ago, and she was wondering if I would like to go to Artomatic tomorrow. I told her that I had no money, meaning I have no money for anything. I thought she would get it. She text me back saying that it's free; yeah, I know that. But how do we plan on getting there? Let's see, survey says metro. What did I just say? All together now, "I...HAVE...NO...MONEY!" She text me again asking that I don't have money even to go to the Dutch Market for breakfast. Headache now increases. I AM BROKE! I have no money for metro fair, what makes you think that money will magically appear for breakfast at Dutch market? I would love it if money just magically appeared out of thin air, but that's not how life is.

I just got the biggest-no, two biggest disappointments today. First off I was researching air fare, and the cheapest I found was starting $329 per person. Even then that was the wrong airport. The next one I found was $400 something- one way, per person. I told my dad that it'll be best if I just stay back, and he go to NorCal. He told me even then, he doesn't think he'll be able to go, because the air fare alone is too much. My grandpa's going to want to do a lot of activities, buy a lot of things; cigarettes mainly. Plus there's the rental car, gas, my cousin...We're looking at $2000 minimum for the trip. Plus I don't think I'm going to have enough time to put in my leave for a week's trip. Blah. Plus there's the issue of Maxx. I don't really trust any of my family members to watch him, and I'm sure that the Petsmart pet hotel in expensive.
Second disappointment of the day; I finally found two places that still sell professional 35 mm film cameras that are brand new, not to mention cheap! I was so happy, until my dad broke the news; Kodak will no longer produce film. CRAP! I don't know what my photography professor is going to do. I would have loved to work in the dark room, and learn the old techniques, but if there's no more film, then what's the point? I'm going to have to wait until classes start to find out what the deal is. Yay.

The only good thing about today is that Megan's mom found a frog shaped cookie cutter, and brought one home. We have this plan to make "chocolate frogs" out of brownies for the Half-Blood Prince premiere. I found actual HP chocolate frogs at Borders when I went to buy Paradise Lost, but I'm not spending $3.95 for something the size of shot glass that has been flattened, and includes a wizard card. I started drawing some of my own, and we're going to give some to our friends, and possibly some of the kids who are attending. The issue of how I'm going to make multiple copies of the cards is tba.
