I don't remember what I was going to make an entry about. This thing has sat open since 10:10 last night and it's now 8 am.

I watched Dawn of the Dead with my brother and by the end of the movie, I had a headache from hell and a stomach ache to match. I don't think it was from the movie but I suppose it could have been. I don't think I've ever watched a movie that's actually been able to make me ill, tho. Go Dawn of the Dead!

I think I've done pretty well about not spending any extra money lately. At least since the credit cards were paid off. I need to learn how to budget my money, though. Without my own account, I have to guess at how much money I have to spend cause I have no idea. Christmas is going to suck because I won't be able to buy anything for the boy without him finding out about it. Time to start hording the allowance moneys! hehe.

A month with no sex, so far. Only two weeks to go. Doctor had better give me a clean bill of health, I tell you what.

Halloween on Sunday troubles some Southerners
Friday, October 15, 2004 Posted: 3:52 PM EDT (1952 GMT)


NEWNAN, Georgia (AP) -- Across the Bible Belt this Halloween, some little ghosts and goblins might get shooed away by the neighbors -- and some youngsters will not be allowed to go trick-or-treating at all -- because the holiday falls on a Sunday this year.

"It's a day for the good Lord, not for the devil," said Barbara Braswell, who plans to send her 4-year-old granddaughter Maliyah out trick-or-treating in a princess costume on Saturday instead. (Gotta remember that Saturday can go to hell but Sunday is G-d's day...)

Some towns around the country are decreeing that Halloween be celebrated on Saturday to avoid complaints from those who might be offended by the sight of demons and witches ringing their doorbell on the Sabbath. (But... the Sabbath is Saturday... Now I'm really confused...)

...


"You just don't do it on Sunday," said Sandra Hulsey of Greenville, Georgia. "That's Christ's day. You go to church on Sunday, you don't go out and celebrate the devil. That'll confuse a child." (Can't go confusing the children. Sunday = Jesus' day. Saturday = belongs to Satan. Right. Got it.)

No wonder it's been so gloomy.

So today some things happened that I'm not going to talk about till I know the outcome. After those things, I walked through the alley with Puck and as I came to the portion immediately behind our house, I saw a t-shirt on the ground. It's not entirely unusual to see random garbage in the alley since our back-neighbour believes that trash cans are a waste of time and puts all his trash bags outside his gate in nothing but their altogether. Anyway. As I walked toward the shirt, I noticed that there was a pair of boxer shorts also abandoned in the grass. Boxer shorts with flies on them. Boxer shorts with massive amounts of diarrhea still on them. Just knowing that there's a person in my neighbourhood who had explosive diarrhea behind my house freaks me out. I can't imagine it seeming to be a good idea to just strip and then wander home, commando. With feces caked to their ass.

I hope you were eating.

AT&T to cut 7,400 jobs

Ma Bell also sets $11.4B writeoff as it retreats from selling long-distance service to consumers.
October 7, 2004: 6:27 PM EDT



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. will cut another 7,400 jobs and reduce the value of its assets by $11.4 billion, spurred by its retreat from traditional consumer telephone services, the company said Thursday.

The company said the new job cuts, which raises its total cuts to 20 percent of its work force this year, and other cost measures would boost operating profits in the second half of the year.

The moves are part of efforts by the third-largest U.S. telephone company to shift its focus to business services and cut costs amid a price war for long-distance service and increasing competition from the dominant U.S. local telephone companies.


Heck YES the economy is getting better...

Sometimes I feel like she's right there.

Hey, you know what's gross? The aftermath of a LEEP. That's gross.

TMI over.
