It’s almost midnight, and I’m still up because I don’t feel tired, and see no point in going to bed just yet. I’m getting some laundry done, and will probably make sure to put it away immediately. I have to take a cab to the store tomorrow, because I forgot to pick up some much-needed household items yesterday while I was out. I hate that. The bandwidth’s really dodgy tonight, so I’ll probably read a book while I do my laundry.

I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ve been up since about 9 something last night, and will probably stay up today, so I can put away the rest of my laundry, do some more laundry, and some other stuff. I went to Walmart yesterday, and got some new jeans, and a new shirt. I needed the clothes, since it’s been a long time since I’ve actually went out and bought some clothes, with the exception of some kippot, and some kerchiefs. Well, I did get some clothes for work a few months ago, but I didn’t buy those, so, as far as this discussion is concerned, they don’t count. I also went out to eat at a place called K&W Cafeteria. The food left a lot to be desired. I ate what was supposed to be steak and gravy over rice, black-eyed peas, (which tasted as though they hadn’t even been washed, just shucked and thrown in the pot with G-d knows what), a roll (which was actually good), and a piece of lemon pie, (which was really runny, and had very little crust). Note to self: Don’t go there on a Sunday, or probably any other day. Someone commented annonymously to one of my recent entries, asking if the Steve I mentioned is Steve Wolf of WolfFM. To answer the question: No. My Steve’s last name is ze’evi. I just happen to like WolfFM. I would like to know who it was who asked, just out of curiosity. I don’t mind annonymous comments, except that I don’t get to see a name associated with some of them. Some, though, sign their names at the end of their posts, and I like that. It puts a name with a comment.

OK, for some reason, I can’t edit my info on the livejournal site. It’s being a royal bitch. I’ve tried deleting the cookie associated with the site, but that doesn’t help.

Well, it’s been a little over a week since my last post, and from what I’ve seen, a lot’s happened. Jerry left for Michigan last Friday, and I’m enjoying the jerrylessness. I’m not, however, enjoying the new, record-setting length of time that has passed since I’ve talked to Steve. I’m not blaming him, because, no matter what, he makes it a point to tell me he loves me at the end of every conversation, no matter now long or short it is. For that, I am very grateful. And, from what I understand, the work load is supposed to lessen in a little while, so that’s good. I just looked at Jamminjerry’s journal, and it looks like someone’s posted a nice little He’s apparently pissed someone off. He should be careful of that, because if you don’t know who your enemies are, you don’t know who your friends are, and thus you don’t know who’s pissed at you at any given time. Anyway, enough with the philosophical rambling. I watched Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, with description this week. I’m not sure which was funnier: The actual movie, or the description. To all who have commented on previous entries, notable Satanicharisma, I haven’t forgotten about your comments, and do plan to respond. I’ve just been spending the last week or so by myself, taking some much-needed me-time. I plan to post more often, but we’ll see what happens.

OK, I promised I’d comment on the Judas documentary, so here goes.
Over all, the documentary was good. It attempted to show that there is another possible way to look at Judas, namely that he isn’t as evil as he has been portrayed. My only disappointment with it is that while the writers went out of their way to prove Judas’ innocence, they still lay the blame for Jesus’ death on the Jews. If you’re going to tear down one aspect of traditional beliefs about the gospels, tear them all down.

I’m sitting here watching a thing on the History Channel about Judas Iscariot. For those who don’t know, he’s the one who supposedly betrayed Jesus because he was evil. Pretty interesting. I’ll comment on it after it’s over.

I’ve spent the morning doing the housework, so the kitchen, my bedroom, the livingroom, and the bathroom are all clean. Dishwasher is in the loading state, in other words, any dishes in it are dirty. So endeth all useful activity for the day.

I just looked at our forecast. Only three more days of shitty weather for this week. By Friday, it’s supposed to be back up in the 60’s. Looking forward to it.

I can’t sleep, so I figure I’ll post. I slept a little earlier tonight, but it looks like I’m up for the day. I hope I can manage to do something useful today. I need to clean the house, or at least my room, and wipe down the kitchen and clean the bathroom. I hate not fucking working. It drives me insane. I hope this Red cross job works out, so I can make money, move, and start a new life in a new city, with public transportation so I’m not stuck. For the record, Greenville sucks if you’re a blink. The weather was really nice last week, and I was lovin’ it. But now, it’s cooler. I can’t wait till it warms up again, so I can keep the windows open. I think it’s supposed to warm up by the end of the week, so that’s good. Just a few more days of this shit, at least for a little while.

I just took the grammar aptitude test. Here are my results. I wonder how many comments I’ll get from those who know me, and think the language used below should be much harsher.
 
You are the grammar Fuhrer. All bow to your
authority.
You will crush all the inferior
people under the soles of your jackboots, and
any who question your motives will be
eliminated. Your punishment
is being the bane
of every other person’s existence, because
you’re constantly contradicting stupidity.
Everyone will be gunning for you. Your
dreams
of a master race of spellers and grammarians
frighten the masses. You must always watch your
back. If only your power could be used for
good
instead of evil.

What is your grammar aptitude?
