I had a cake commission due today that I just completed. I would have worked on it last night but the kitchen was busy all day and I took Justin to the DMV in the morning which ate so much time.

I'm on Charlie duty today with the remaining guys of the household. Unfortunately I've only had 7 hours sleep in the last 48. Ooo yay that should be fun, not. I'm going to go to sleep now I'm just happy I got the commission done. They said plaid was the favorite color so I decided the spray paint the sides of the cake in plaid. Have you ever tried to paint plaid? Yeah not very easy. Plus I was lighter on frosting then I wanted since I ran out. There is plenty there and it is a super rich frosting so you don't need much but still I would have preferred a thicker coating. I'm sure no one will even notice except me. Next time I do a plaid I'm going to go with my original plan of doing it on fondant first and then putting the fondant slabs on the sides of the cake. I think it would have given a cleaner look plus buttercream doesn't absorb the paint as well and I get more dewing. I have no idea what sort of money I'm getting for this cake. I'll post pictures once they are up loaded. I must say it turned out rather fetching and oddly exactly as I intended. Usually I have an idea in my head and I mod it as I go along. Oh and I swear by all the gods the minute I have any spare money I'm getting a turntable for decorating. Half the issues I have with coloring, straight lines, and even frosting would be solved with a freaking turntable.

I like this one: http://www.amazon.com/August-Thomsen-Corp-612-Decorating/dp/B000BVFYUO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Wilton is another well known name but their stands tend to break. The one about is well recommended and a reasonable price. *sigh* Someday.

I have a job interview tomorrow! I have a job interview tomorrow! *bounce bounce* Wish me luck! This job is so perfect. It is at a doctor's office and literally up the street from me. Oh I hope i get it.
And our internet is fixed...sorta. The guy came and looked at it and found a few problems. He fixed those but now the router is being an ass. The router will have to wait for Jeff to get home. Then maybe we'll have more then ONE working computer in a household of 12 avid computeraholics.

Yayish for technology. I need to give up this computer to someone else now. *sigh*


In my continuing trend of falling asleep early and waking up early I was up stupid early this morning. I decided to check out the movie trailers and look what I found. Now at first I thought, Oh great another Nazis are bad, Jews are good movie like all of last Christmas season. But this does look like a kickass movie. Go to IMDB and check out the cast. Super kicking cast and director. How can you go wrong with Samuel L Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, and Brad Pitt? I have no idea if this movie has even a smidgen of factual basis and I'm not sure I give a damn either. There were a bunch of other good trailers too. Looks like the end and middle of 2009 will be prime movie going time.

I have more applications out then some amazing amount of thing. Ugh I'm tired and I've been applying to everything under the sun for the past two hours. I hope this latest batch nets at least a few nibbles. *sighs* I redid my resume and tweaked it even more.

Right now I'm in bed. I wasn't hungry and I wanted to continue applying to jobs so I skipped dinner. *sigh* Really, seriously I hope I get some positive responses soon.
*grumble* Really? Color me surprised:


U.S. Jobless Rate Reaches 26-Year High

By: NY1 News

According to the U.S. Labor Department, the nation's unemployment rate jumped to 8.5 percent in March.

That's the highest it's been since late 1983.

Employers eliminated a net total of 663,000 jobs last month, slightly more than the 654,000 economists had predicted.

The average work week also dropped in March to a new record low of 33.2 hours.

Since December 2007, the economy has lost a net total of 5.1 million jobs, with almost two-thirds of those happening in the last five months.

The recession is now the longest since World War Two.


***********

I'm gonna go cry now... LOL Actually I just went and reworked my resume again. *sigh* I really need a job.

I shook off my horrible dream this morning and have spent the day being very productive. I've been working on getting my room clean with varied results. Today I did really well and the room looks so much better. My plans for later in the afternoon consist of taking a shower then running JackJack to his martial arts class. While he is at class I'm going to run out and deposit checks and what not and maybe pick up some liquor. That should take me the better part of an hour which is about how long his class is.

I still have hours worth of work to do on my room but I'm happy with how it is shaping up. *yawns* I am tired though from a crap night of sleep. I'm thinking in two weeks it will be warm enough and clear enough for me to take the ferret cage outside for a through cleaning. That is one perk of the warmer weather, I can take the cage out and really get everything squeaky clean. This weekend is looking fairly packed. Tomorrow I'm on kid duty all day long while the rest of the house either goes to help Manta move or to celebrate Winna's birthday party. I'm happy to take the patrol while they do those things. I won't be all alone so should be fairly happytastic. I'm rather fond of my kids and all lol.

Alright shower and then errands.

Meant to post about an hour ago but our internet is wonky. Oh well

Well I'm awake. My brain decided to treat me to one of those dreams that isn't a nightmare but it still sucks on an emotional level. It didn't even try to sugar coat it, just wham in your face here have some issues at 6 in the morning. In the dream I was at college and ran across a few people I'm not exactly on speaking terms with. Then two of the people left and I'm standing there with the one dude and we both head toward our cars. Oh funny thing I wrecked my car earlier in the dream so this was an every issue in my head dream. I even had trouble writing a story on the computer. So I'm heading toward a borroed car with this guy and he goes to like hug me or something or say Hey I'm always around if you want to hangout. I of course being a horrible hardass who will die alone push him away and go You know we will never be friends again or never talk again or something like that. He then yells something at me I swear is from the bible. I tell him I can't even understand him and turn and walk away. Then of course I get into the borrowed car and have a minor accident.

So I feel like complete crap and like crying which means no more sleep for me. I'm gonna go cuddle my kids and get the craptastic day started.

What did you do this morning, Seo?

Well I woke up after 4 hours of sleep, said Hi to Kt/Charlie being cute on the computer, went to the bathroom and promptly puked everywhere. lol Oh what a perfect opening to the day. I feel better now and I don't think I'm sick. Mostly, I think what I ate last night did not agree with my stomach this morning. I'm gonna go sleep for a few more hours before getting up and taking care of a couple things. One of which needs to be the ferret cage lol.

Seo is bald! Bwhaha I cut off all my hair. LOL I have some fuzz and that's it. Oddly, I'm enjoying it muchly. It feels really cool, you can see the surgery scar I have on my head, and it is not as chilly as I thought it would be. It is both warm and cooling. I don't understand it. Anyhow I'm enjoying my bald for a while. It should be grown back out by the time I'm to go to the Khep gather in late May or maybe I'll keep it. Haven't decided. I'll throw some pictures up soon. ^_^
Enter fight scene. Girl defends grandfather from masked ninja-esk assailant. We learn he is a former student. He spouts off about how this is not the end, he will be back to seek revenge. Then he runs over to a large ceramic birdbath filled with stones and about two inches of water. He jumps headfirst into it and disappears.

All I can think is what would happen if you fucked up your disappearing spell right then and rammed facefirst into a birdbath full of stones and water?

Ninja-dude: I will return to get my revenge. I will kill you both. *runs to birdbath and rams facefirst into the stones knocking himself out cold.

Girl and Grandfather stare then share a glace. Girl calmly walks over, rights the birdbath, and beheads the ninja-dude. Grandfather turns to continuing meditating.

Girl: Well I guess that's finished. *turns to leave*

Grandfather: Make sure to tip the gardeners well this week.

Girl: Yes, Grandfather.

Welcome to your brain on Seo.
Yes, another your brain on Seo moment care of Charmed. So during the course of Charmed the three good witches "vanquish" all the bad guys. Vanquished is a fancy word for kill. Seriously, guys? Must we call it some fancy word like vanquished. Can't we just say you killed the bad guy. I mean you are supposedly sanctioned by "the good guys" for all this killing so obviously what's a little death amongst friends. How about you call a spade, a spade and stop all this unnecessary lying. Really what's wrong with killing a motherfucker. I mean yes these guys are evil *oooo shivers* so then I guess it is okay to kill them. I'm always fond of watching good trying and rationalize killing and death. "Well it is okay because they were bad and we are good. They only hurt people because it gains them things. We hurt people to defend the innocent and help us gain things... wait no that isn't what I meant." Look let's just be honest with each other and take the morality out of killing. Sometimes you just have to stab a bitch because that's how things gots to be. No need to find fancy words or some big brother type telling you it is okay. You work for one side and they work for the other and any sort of morality is always going to be based on that. The evil side kills the good and the good side kills the evil. You want real peace then you find a middle ground. Black and white is lovely in ink blots but that is about it. I also don't think being good is about babies and puppies. Being good is not based on things like that but your actions. There is no reason that a good person can't be a cold-blooded killer(or a hot-blooded one for that matter). Good and evil are some of the least definable things in this world.

Oh and I vote evil side all the way. They have cuter guys and better clothing. Besides, I like to know that when I stab a bitch I can smile like the happy sociopath I am and not get stared at. What is it with good and the staring thing? Just because you enjoy getting a bit of blood and gore on you they get all huffy. Fucking pansy ass bitches. Oh no Seo, you mustn't enjoy killing. Killing is a means to an end not an enjoyable pass time to be taken with crackers. Blah blah blah... Fuck you I'll laugh while I murder if I want to and sing in the red downpour of a severed artery. Simple pleasure and all, simple pleasures that's all life is really about.

Once again the town is saved by The Blood Soaked Killers Brigade.

EDIT: Oh next episode has some bitch come flying through the window and start to scream in some dude's face. Um hello? Don't just sit there punch her in the face! Face punches are the win! Scream in my face will yah? *facepunch* See how simple?

I finally watched the ending to BSG and honestly I'm feeling sort of meh towards the second half. Now it was nice that they went and showed everyone to sort of wrap it up, that I liked. No, the part I didn't like had to do with something I find really annoying in the modern age.

Cut for spoilers )

I guess I'll count that as a win so far as the series goes but I still feel kind of annoyed and let down. I suppose I should have seen the ending coming (hints a mile wide and all) so I can't be all that upset. Anyhow *sigh* I can't wait to finish it up with the family.

Nala, my ferret, is very old. She is very old and now she is very shakey. She can't walk very well anymore or eat very well. She seems happy enough sort of stumbling around the cage or laying quietly in my arms. I don't think Nala is going to be with me much longer and there isn't anything I can do. But she's scared me before so maybe I'm wrong. Gods I hope I'm wrong.

EDIT: Now she toddling around eating food again. Hmm I guess she just wanted to scare me senseless and prevent me from cleaning my room. *sigh*
I'm watching more Charmed. Before I get to the real brain on Seo moment I must say I had a real good laugh at one of the episodes which lifted its plot almost entirely from Lady Hawk. LOL They even made a backhanded reference to it during the show. Cute little homage.

Now as to your brain on Seo moment. One of the episodes has them being flung to the past to help out some chick who is about to birth a magical baby. Now the bad witch kidnapped the mother so that once the baby was born she could steal it and raise it up in her evil image. We flash to a scene where the bad witch is telling the baby-mama how she should be calm, after all nothing bad must happen to the baby. Really? Seriously? You are that evil and bad and you didn't just cut the whelp directly from her body? What kind of evil witch are you? The big whingy ass pussy kind? Bitch please, I would have taken that baby out as soon as she looked like she was close enough to delivery. Alright, time to take my new trainee out *sound of knife sharpening* Fuck that waiting for it to happen naturally bullshite. The key to being evil is all about timing. Actually the key to anything is timing but especially evil plans with a dead-line. Plus might as well get the baby started off in a nice evil path and nothing is more evil then having your mother's life sacrificed to get you into the world. Notice the phrasing, not the mother sacrificing herself but being sacrificed. And besides that wouldn't you feel damned stupid if the baby died during childbirth? I mean seriously it does happen and did happen a lot more back in the day. How would you feel if after months, maybe years, of planning the kid just up and died. Damned stupid right?

So remember kids, if you are gonna steal a baby why not take the freshest you can find. Learn to cut a bitch.

I just slept for 17 hours straight..... evidently I was really tired. WTF, mate?

And I wake up to one sick ferret on the bottom of the cage shaking. Just perfect. Anyhow got some canned food in her and she is fine now. Not sure why she went off her food this time.

What the fuck! Look I'm sure I'm very tasty and all but could the insect life please shove off. It is MY blood. I'm not sharing with the likes of them damnit.
Ugh I'm so sad. I woke up early and was going to head out and watch the latest Battlestar but I can't! Someone deleted it last night and I can't find a torrent of it. So sad! Second to last episode and it is gone. *cries*

EDIT: I found it online and downloaded it. All is not lost and the episode was GREAT!!!

Recently TW changed all the tv settings and it has all been so confusing so it got deleted by accident. No big. I have it and have watched it and yay!

I couldn't sleep again this morning. I crashed after dinner last night and slept until Justin woke me up around midnight. Tried to get back to sleep but failed mightily so I ended up playing Halo with Justin until sometime in the morning. He wandered off and I tried to sleep again. Didn't get to sleep until after 9am. Oddly I woke up at 1pm somewhat rested and very unable to go back to sleep. I've spent the past several hours cleaning and organizing my room. It is going pretty well. I need more places to store stuff. It isn't even as if I don't have alot of room I just need more storage type units to organize said room. I'm also ruthlessly throwing out everything I haven't used in a year. I have way too much stuff for my space and really I'm not fond of clutter. I'm lazy so I often have lots of it but I don't prefer to live that way. I think it will be easier to get shit done if I'm not surrounded by a mess all the time I'm in my room trying to work on things.

Anyhow made a fair dent now I'm tired and not really inclined to keep at it. So far no luck with the job hunt. Fairly depressing that is. Oh well you haven't failed until you've stopped trying I guess.
Recently I was watching TV and saw a commercial about this guy named Russell Brand. I thought to myself, 'Hey he looks a bit funny.' So I promptly recorded said show, watched it and about died laughing. I decided to inflict this upon my stand-up loving household which then watched him twice in a row. It was that funny.

This brings me to the title of this post. Today we were sitting at dinner quoting said Russell Brand nonstop. I decide I like him enough to want to buy his DVDs and watch them all. Off to amazon I go. Off to Amazon I go to be majorly disappointed. It seems that my man Russell is not quite popular enough here in the states to have most of his work on DVD here. In fact I can't even really find him on ebay (my next stop). So because the movie industries decided it was a great fucking idea to put region nonsense into play when making DVDs they are losing the money I would be giving them right now. Instead I have gone a slightly less hmm money exchanging way to get my DVDs. Once again guys I was going to give you money but you seemed to not want it. Now I suppose I could go hunting online for hours and maybe eventually find the DVD collections for a region 1 player but I'm not going to because I don't feel it should be my job to hunt for these DVDs which should be made easy to find if you want me to buy them. The only person I would apologize to is Mr. Brand himself as I would really like to support his career but seem to be a bit unable to at the time.

Oh on a slight aside. I feel very sad. I just found out that he is touring right now in NYC and today is his last day. He is in fact at this very moment on stage somewhere I could have gotten had I bothered to look it up yesterday. *sigh* Oh well...

Yesterday I was up until after noon. I tried really hard to sleep and failed. The insomnia is back and I have a fair idea as to why but right now there isn't much to be done about it. In a few hours I have to go to a job interview. I'm not sure if I'm going to go to sleep or not since I don't want to miss the appointment. I have to rig the car together enough to drive there. I was going to do it yesterday but it fucking rained and made it too wet to crawl under my flipping car. No choice tomorrow. I gots to do it.

In other news being carless is driving me spare. I hate with a passion not being able to run errands when I want or go up to New Paltz to see friends. I mean Oniko works alright but not enough really. Honestly, I haven't a clue what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to cobble her together with a wish, some duct tapes, and some zip ties. That should do for a little while but really not for too long. *sigh* Such is life.

In other news my brain decided to have another fit in the middle of playing Halo with Justin. When you know you are hearing things wrong and you can feel the neurosis in the back of your brain. I think I'm just going to go bang my head into a wall for a while and have done with it. That or rewrite my life and reactions to the world. Both sound about as pleasant and really head-to-wall is so much easier.

I'm not tired. I hate insomnia I just want to cry. It just fucks my life up. Whoa hormone dump. That was weird. *shakes head* I'm gonna go kill things for a while. Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
Yep I'm still awake. I tried valiantly to go to bed at a proper time in order to wake up at a reasonable time and it just wasn't happening. So instead of staring at the ceiling for four hours I went and was productive. I got several more job apps out, called the propane place to have them send a maintenance guy over to look at number 11, and I'm about to order food for my snakes. I swear there was something else I was going to do online, oh yeah just remembered. Yay, so I'm in bed, very tired, I'm going to order those two things and go to sleep. I set my online alarm clock for 2pm in the vain hope that I can crawl out of bed by 3:30 for the kids arrival home. Plus I need to get my car in order so that I can drive to my job interview in the morning. Really I was doing alright for a time waking up by 3:30. It is a good time. I can help with the kids, get daylight hours stuff done and still sleep at a normal time for me. But now the insomnia is back and I am so displeased. I fail at life it seems. Or at least at sleeping.

Alright enough whinging on. I have two things to do and so zzzs to catch.

EDIT: Okay I had to share this gem with you all. I'm buying frozen mice to feed the horde. On one of the sites I was looking over prices I noticed this little bit in the shipping section. Anyone notice anything about the last line that seems a little...off?

::TERMS: Full payment must accompany all orders, except for zoos and other recognized institutions.
Major credit cards accepted. There is a charge for each shipping box and for dry ice.
Small orders can be sent by express or priority mail, or United Parcel Service.
Larger orders are sent air freight to be held for pick-up at your nearest commercial airport.
We guarantee dead arrival in perfect condition, on shipments delivered via a next day service.:::

So basically as long as you ship next day they are sure to arrive dead and in perfect condition. What if you go by freight they might spontaneously reanimate as feeder mice zombies??? Hell what kind of mice are these??
