It would be pretty entertaining to post item numbers, and maybe a hint or two, and see if people can find the related item.

Not sure what a good reward would be, though.

I am still taking up the hunt for employment, even though the numbers are saying there are at least 6 people for every job.

There's a local-ish 10a-2.30p data entry job, I'm debating if I want to see if I can get that until I can find proper employment... but then I couldn't let them know that.

It'd be easy, and $250/wk is better than $no-50 a week.

I'd probably be better off finding something that actually uses my supposed skills and education.

Anyway.

I have been distracted by petfinder. I don't need a pet, I can't afford a pet, but gosh darnit, a cat would be awesome.

Ooooh, just what I need. A black cat named jessica! But then Dave would be all "jess!" and the cat would go "meow?" and I would go "tralala Dave is talking to the cat"...

I love the face this kitty is making. Look at it!

Whoa! The local SPCA totally does other critters too. For five whole dollars
I can get a gerbilhamster.

Gunner is not cat-safe. ...

Greyhounds don't seem to like cats.

Give me the biscuit!

Baroo?

I should stop this.

Stupid Pomeranians being awesome.

If I had a ton of land, I would want a goat. I mean, look at this goat. Isn't it great?

So I will leave you with
Bob.

Today is one of those days.

You know, you wake up, and you say "man, today is a crap day."

And, as is necessary on crap days, someone will call, or talk to you, and then your day will go from being a crap day to a shit day. And at that point, you are just disgruntled and don't care to do anything. Homework, cook, clean, whatever.

I should have started cooking dinner a while ago, but I'm not hungry, and I don't care. I guess I'll start in a few minutes. Dave will probably be late-ish today anyway, and at the worst, it'll be a 30 minute or so wait after he gets home.

My crap mood has me looking at heavy bags and heavy bag stands. I don't want to stick the bag in a rafter, because I might just take it down.

I'm looking toward a 70 lb bag, and a corner stand. Except corner stands are too big. Smaller stands usually have a speed bag attachment.

Right now, I'm looking towards walmart. I can get a stand for 98 dollars, and a fancy pink bag and set for 74. Or I could get a plain ol' black bag for 40.

They're both 70 lbs, I'll probably go with the black one, I don't need knuckle wraps, and I have a pair of sparring gloves. Also, I don't need pink. It's for a good cause, yes, but purple would be more buyable. Is there a cause with purple as its color?

I decided to check ebay. I found a universal sex swing stand... or for heavy bag. ...

So much for ebay, the nearest is too far away, and shipping is ridiculous.

I can totally order the stand and bag shipped to store for 140...

I thought about getting a makiwara board, but you can't really kick those unless they're in a door threshold, and I don't want something that permanent anyway.

I thought about one of those freestanding style bags, but I never really cared for those. They're also super-pricey.

Oh crap, walmart stand only holds up to 70 lbs. THen I'd need to also buy some weights to keep it in place. I didn't think disk weights were all that pricey, though. Hrm. 20 dollars more gets me one that can hold up to 100 lbs.

The internets isn't all that great at telling me what sort of bag I should buy.

This man is pretty helpful. "You can certainly kick a 70 lb bag, but it's going to be swinging an awful lot. If you're torqueing your hip into your kicks (and you shoud be), 100 lbs is the LIGHTEST I'd go." He says.

Then I should get at least 100. Granted, he was talking to a guy who weighs a only a bit more than I do. I guess any more than 100, and I will need a good ceiling to anchor it to.

I'm still looking at stands/bags, and found a man!. Definitely good for people-stress... >.>

I am a loser.

I was totally reading the internets

and came across a free engagement ring. >.>

Seriously. 100% free, shipped. <.<

I totally ordered it, because it was free, you know. I can't turn down free things. v.v

Why just today, I got a free sample box of cereal.

And also two boxes of free ice cream sammiches.

Free is good.

(And you know Dave is going to read this and be all zomgwtfbbqhax? ... It was free! How could I say no? Also, it is very Jess-tacular. I mean, look at it. Sequins and beads? all it needs is to be purple and it'd be awesome. Mind you, if I were going to be ms 21st century and all "I will do the asking", I would ensure that it is worn EVERY DAY. Except when soldering. I imagine melty sequins smell horrid.)

So Saturday night, I get a ticket.

Why?

DWB

Technically it's "failure to notify DMV of address change". I'm not sure what address has changed, as my license is current, and the car is properly registered to its owner, who lives at the address the car is registered to.

I was initially told it was because the stickers on the back said "07". I explained they don't use those stickers anymore in NJ, and the car is properly registered.

Well I can get the owner to come with me to court and it will probably be thrown out and I will just have to pay court costs. FFS. I shouldn't have to pay anything.

I look at the stickers today, just out of curiosity. The "07" is the month. The years? 2003 and 2005. So obviously if the main sticker is 2010, and the license stickers are "07" (but really 2003 and 2005), and the registration card and everything else checks out...

Fucker was going to pull me regardless.

Ok, it's not that bad.

I have a few burns from my impulse hair treatment, but I guess it's to be expected for what they were dealing with. You've got to go all out when you start something, you know.

The owner-guy of the shop tells me before they start that the both of them are going to work on my hair, because otherwise it just won't work well. Everyone else in the salon had really nice and healthy-looking hair, so I figure they know what they're doing. When I was getting the death-chemical washed out, owner-man was telling a woman that while short hair looked good on her, she needed to grow it out a bit so it would have time to recover.

Some women decided to make a bet on what was getting done with my hair, and thought it funny that I was getting a relaxer. Silly women. Yeah, he did not waste time in slapping the death-chemical in my hair. Doesn't mean you should bet on it.

The guy doing my hair told me I had very nice hair. I would hope so, it took three years to figure out exactly how to tame it... Owner-man said that it came out not super-straight, which is fine by me, and after I wash it, I'll see how I like it. I prefer a bit of poof in my hair.

Then some other woman decides to ask the guy doing my hair what I was getting done. I told her I was getting a relaxer, she wasn't talking to me! Well I'm sorry I can't see your eye direction without my glasses, but it *is* my head. So she comes back and asks him what he's going to do with it. And I wanted to say "I don't plan on having much more done to it, this relaxer is a jump as it is", but that's more or less what the guy doing my hair said. Stupid woman. Then she goes on about how she had such nice and beautiful hair until she started dying it, and it was sooo Farrah Fawcetty, and down to here (she touches my back, not much lower than where my hair is at its longest), and then it all broke off. I made sure to say loudly "I don't plan on dying it, this relaxer is a big enough of a jump..."

I go to pay, and they only take cash or check! Glad I grabbed my last counter check. Crap I forgot to put my address on it. >.> Ah well. It's got my name, acct number, signature, and what it's for on it. I guess if there are any problems, they will call me.

They asked if I wanted to schedule for two weeks, I'm debating if I want to go in for a deep condition and so they can see my burns. I don't care to pay for it. :/

I am also applying for a job, hopefully I will get it, so I can afford these ridiculously pricey hair treatments.

And I definitely meant to get one of those bungee cord weaves, ok, a drawstring ponytail. I don't quite care for those, though.

They usually run 10-ish dollars, 15 for the fancy ones, an additional 20-30 dollars is fine for ponytail diversity.

I certainly don't want to look like Steven Seagal everyday.
