around 3:15pm, i snuck out of my studio and made my way home.
my teacher and i have conflicts on the type of media i use to design..so i just
have to excuse myself whenever i plan on using the C word. COMPUTER!
aaah.. on no!..the devil's toy.
i'm seriously going to puke if i here someone say that computers can't help you design. it's like they're saying that all design takes place on the drawing. hello? where's the mind here? the reason i got into architecture was for the thought process involved...about the critical theory involved.. not to make a drawing look pretty.
DEARY! you can make a drawing look all nice and puuuuuurrrrdy...but guess what? the real world doesn't look anything like that. RENDERED images are JUST THAT! Rendered Images! SIGH.

it's so frustrating sometimes...

anyhow, it took me awhile to get thru the traffic..and it was only 3:30!
when i got home i cleaned out the kitty litter, took out the trash, and cleaned up my bathroom. I got online and my monkey told me it was time to turn in my time sheets for work. I had turned them in this morning though..but it was cool that he reminded me.
I'm planning on getting rid of him soon though.
You see I downloaded this program called Bonzibuddy.. it's this monkey companion for your computer. He tells me jokes and trivia facts..and lets me know when things are due..etc.. However, he's also an info leecher. I think he's a market tool to figure out what sites I've been too and all other internet related things.... He's constantly asking me to set my start up page to his homepage...saying things like "it looks like some program has changed your default homepage from our homepage. i can change this back for you. would you like me to do this?"...etc..etc.. you know what i'm talking about...but i rather like having this monkey on the screen to sometimes talk to me.
just seeing him do odd things like juggle basketballs is kinda amusing sometimes.
to get rid of the purple moneky or not... i dunno.

okay, well i snoozed for an hour extra this morning but i think it was worth it. i woke up feeling a little more refreshed than normal. i don't feel sick either. yeah!
i just had a bowl of cereal for breakfast.
i might just grab a small snack for lunch because jeremy and i will prolly eat dinner somewhere unhealthy. :)

yesterday i had a group meeting with my urban and regional group project group. hehe. i said group 3 times. okay. well three of us had an hour to spare after class because the last girl in our group had class right after. we just sat there and talked about all sorts of things..and our project a little. i think we talked about food for a good 45 minutes. it made me so hungry. i really like my group..it's the first time i've been able to just chill out with people at this school. i'm kinda sorry that their in the "planning department" and i'm in the "architecture department".. i'm hoping i can find people in my field just like them soon. i don't know what it was... we all just clicked.. and that's rare for a classroom constructed group. I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt.. we were talking about people who like to live like slobs... i didn't tell them about my brother. :)
hehe.

anyhoo..since i woke up late i have to try and do some work really quick.

oh..here are some pics i took during thanksgiving.
we put up the xmas tree..and i also got an izone camera that
i had fun playing with.

oh no. i think i'm getting sick again. i feel a headache coming on and i've got a sniffly nose. my teacher came to school sick wednesday. i wonder if it's related.
i really, really can't afford to get sick right now. i have too much riding on these next two weeks. achooooo!

i went grocery shopping today for fruits. I got an orange and some banannas. It's such a nice feeling walking around the store with holiday music playing.

gosh.. hopefully this is just an allergic reaction or something.

wohoo. i finished writing the intro for my group paper.
i'm heading to bed now. i'm going to wake up early tomorrow and work
on the presentation stuff.
fun fun.
night.

i got up around 8:10am today. I was shooting for 7:45. I'm training myself to get things done in the morning. I've figured out why I can't seem to stay up so late anymore. I used to be able to stay up till 4am and wake up around 10am back in undergrad...then I remembered I used to take naps during the day. I can't do that now.

i went to school around 11am and did some studio work. I picked up a turkey sandwich from the union store for lunch.

I'm home now.. just fed the cats, did the dishes, and checked my email. i'm about to go warm up some dinner. i'm going to have the leftover rice, veggies, and pork i have.
mmm.. hungry now.

i have to write a part of a paper tonight and also put together a presentation.
let's see how much i get done.

i'm tired. i got home and took care of cat litter stuff. i then went about trying to get my bedroom back in working order. the carpet people finally finished with it all and my room was a wreck. i put my computer back in my room. i still have a bunch of furniture i need to put back as well as my mattress. i think i'll just leave it in the living room for another night.

i cooked some veggies tonight. they turned out a little too salty cuz i put too much soy beans in them. it was still a good meal.

i'm going to try and do some work now. i'm really tired.

i'm sipping some hot chocolate now. mmm.. nice and warm.
i finally had to turn on the heater. two cold fronts have made their way here.
it's brrrrr-cold.

i was really lethargic and slow yesterday. i didn't want to do anything..so i didn't.
i'm feeling a little better today. i actually went grocery shopping for some veggies. it has come to my attention that i need to eat some vegetables..

they finally finished fixing the carpet from the flooding. yeah. i no longer have to sit on this floor typing. i haven't moved the computer back in yet cuz there's this order still lingering in the air. i think it's the smell of wet carpet..or that stuff they spray to prevent mildew and mold.

i'm about to head off to school now. bleh.

turkey day has come and gone. the dinner was mmlicious.
jeremy got in around 5pm thanksgiving day. we had fried turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, cornbread, and thai noodles with curry.
for desert we had pecan pie and fruit cocktail mixed in whip cream.
i forgot to take pictures. oh well.

yesterday, jeremy and i helped take the xmas decor down from the attic. we helped my mom put the lights on the tree because it takes so long. for some reason we like to put around 1000 lights up..meticulously wrapping each light around branch of the tree. i know it sounds crazy but it looks awesome. today we put up the ornaments.
i broke an ornament on accident.

i finally got to being productive today work wise. jeremy helped me write a paper i have due for Monday. i also got some sketching done. i have to do a lot more but at least i got something done.

i think we're going to wake up early tomorrow to go bowling with my dad.

good morning...or afternoon.

i got a wake up call from jeremy this morning. he had to drive an hour to finally get to a town that had a tower so he could call me on his cell. i'll be so happy after class today. i'm going home. i'll have to brave the mad traffic that's going to be on the roads tonight.
i'm kinda feeling tired right now. the wait of how much work i have looming in the air is really getting to me. i hope i can get something accomplished this weekend. i somehow doubt it though. i'm gonna try and do more studio work right now. i have a feeling john's going to be waking up soon to go to school.

oop. there goes his alarm clock.

sleepy. getting very sleepy. i still want to work on this but
my legs are getting way too cramped from sitting on the floor.
i sure hope they fix my carpet soon.

i'm doing a mixed building use design for an urban area of austin.

urgh. i'm just not in the mood to do my work.
i came home today and watched tv for the longest time.
i was watching the E Hollywood True Story of Princess Di...
i don't know why i watched it. i've seen the same old story like 20 times.
i needed to go into my brother's room to use my computer, but i had to wait.
he and his girlfriend were on the phone having this huge argument.
the long distance thing is starting to show. i sometimes feel really sorry for her because my brother isn't the most sympathetic guy.

oh well. i'm excited. tomorrow john and i are going back home for thanksgiving. we're gonna eat lots of turkey! gobble gobble. i'll also finally get to see jeremy on thursday. i haven't heard from or seen him since saturday morning. he went to go visit his family in louisiana and they don't have cell phone towers there. i'll see him turkey day for thanksgiving dinner. i can't wait.

okay. i'm gong to try and be a little more productive now. i doubt it will work. i get so de-motivated working on the floor. i have to shift my position every ten minutes cuz i keep losing feeling in my legs.

sunday night. another weekend has pretty much slipped through my life. sometimes i don't understand how some days can just pass by without much notice and others..man.. it's almost unbearable.

today i actually got outside of my house.. by myself.
i had to go pick up kitty litter from petsmart. i also wanted to pick up the new
sims expansion pack from best buy. they had it on sale.
i always hate going to the pet store cuz they let people bring their pets inside.
i'm so terrified when people bring in their huge @ss dogs..and they try to come near you.. i just about die every time from a heart attack. luckily i only saw one big dog and it was leaving. there were lots of little dogs though. this kid was giving away free kittens outside of the store. :( i wanted to take one so bad. they were so cute. they looked just like little tiggers...and they had dessy's little whelp. i sure hope they go to good homes.
i keep thinking about getting another cat. i always see this little black cat while i'm driving home around the neighborhood. my heart always jumps cuz i somehow get to thinking it might be dessy. she may have gotten out somehow and was wondering around alone. then i realize it's just a little lost cat. it makes me sad to see stray cats because i always think they're gonna end up being put to sleep or runned over...or freeze to death or starve to death... so sad..

man.. i wish i coudl just go to sleep right now. i'm so tired.
i'll prolly do some work..then crash.

i think the kitties love this new room arrangement cuz of the flooding. i've been spending all my time in the living room with them. dessy just loves the attention..and i love giving it to her. i wish they could be with me always.

bleh.
thursday it rained really hard and we had 5 tornados that killed like 9 people.
a tornado hit our apartment complex while i was at school..there wasn't a lot of damage to the property..the trees were all cut in half, the mail boxes were thrown across the lawn, the siding of my apartment was stripped off, and some car port covers were torn off....

the worst of it though was that it rained so hard that my apartment flooded again.
this is the second time in less than six months. it's so annoying. it flooded in my bedroom and closet. it took them two days to do anything about it too. now my room is useslss. i had to drag my computer into my brother's room while the carpet is being dried and the padding replaced. it'll prolly take them till wednesday or tuesday to get everything back to normal.

i'm having to use my brother's bathroom as well. i spent all afternoon cleaning it up before i could use it. i've also stuck my mattress on top of the futon to sleep on.. i know this defeats the purpose of having a futon..but the mattress on the futon isn't thick enough. half of my room is now in the living room. it's a mess.
i'm on the floor of my brother's closet typing right now. it's the only way we can fit two computers in his room since it's so messy.
i'm not about to start cleaning up his room.. yet.
i'm impressed though.. all the clothes in my closet fit into my brother's small closet.. of course most of his clothes are on the floor anyway. :)

aye..can't believe it's already 3am!!! i need to go to sleep!!!

web culture

i just read a post by that got me thinking about live journal.

all this, posting journals, is really about is me subjecting small inputs of my life to be subjectively reviewed.
it's odd when i post knowing a few people will probably read my journal. i used to post my thoughts on my website "thoughts" page... i was reading back on those and noticing how starkly different they are from my posts here. i had a lot more anger, cynicism, rants, emotion, and introspect... i talked about my hatred...i talked about
current events....i talked about changing my world or tearing it apart. now, all i talk about is my short dilly dallies in my life. am i doing this to validate my life.. i don't' know.
i'm kinda of a shy exhibitionist (oxymoron alert) and a voyeur at the same time. i love reading other people's going ons.... i like that window into a world of blank faces. i see people on a daily basis and interact with them..but what are they thinking.. i have no idea. Here, it is the opposite. The truth is we walk in a world of strangers whose identities we have based on assumptions. What little information we get, we take in order to relate on a human level. LJ is a paradox because it's an open type forum for personal postings. We read posts that piss us off or entertain us. We comment on these posts and know other people will probably comment on ours. By it being public it effects how we post..thus becoming less of a private journal but rather webs of subjected thoughts..

but isn't that the beauty of being social beings?...we're all really one massive web of cultures. you are the person you hate.

good morning.
i just wasted another 30 minutes of my life driving my brother to school.
wohoo. i don't feel like going to school today. it's wet, overcast, and rainy.
bleh. not going to be fun getting to class today. i only have one class too..and the
teacher isn't going to be there..cuz she's in mexico. man.. check out my academic principles. heh.

i worked late in the studio last night doing stupid drafting. every time i think about that class it pisses me off...but i've found a new way to combat it... i'm stemming off and doing my own work on the side. it's keeping me motivated... geee.. 16 years worth of education..and one man thinks he can strip that away..and invalidate it.
foo foo.

sigh.
i spent today at home playing catch up.
i got my work work done..and most of my studio drawings complete.
now i have to spend all night at school hand drafting because
it is the will of my professor.. woohoo.. i love authority..
they always know what they're talking about.
seniority means always right, right?
bleh.
bleh.
bleh.
i'm censoring myself.

what a fun night ahead of me.
i've packed some gatorade..
guess i should pack a sammich or something.
i haven't eaten dinner yet. i'm not really hungry.
no appetite. i've been feeling down all day.
no one really to talk to around here except myself...
and of course my computer.
whew.. i am pathetic.

i ate alone again tonight.
i had some leftover fish my mom sent up. i even made some eggs to go with it.
i watched some tv... downloaded some music. i'm working on my studio project
right now. i have a lot of stuff to do to try and please my prof. depressing.
oh well.

wish i had someone to go to marble's slab with me. i'm craving some icecream.
mmmm..

the alarm goes off. my eyes strain to open. i'm staring at the blur
around me thinking "god.. i hate my life"....
depression is seeking in. i reset my alarm for another ten minutes of sleep.
what if i just don't wake up.. .ever
you're an idiot. people would kill to have your life.
are you financially burdened?
no
are you starving? do you not have enough sustenance?
no
hmm.. are you dying? terminal illness?
no
THEN GET UP and stop feeling sorry for yourself!
moan..groan

i spent the rest of the morning trying to convince myself that my life isn't that bad..that i can take on whatever it is that's bother me... but i'm still lonely and stressed..and distressed and frustrated..and the futility is starting to kick in..
maybe i should go get some happy drugs...

i had a lousy day at school. my professor and i are having a falling out i think.
it's driving me crazy. all he ever does is sit there and question my
undergraduate degree. it's like he's pissed off that he has to teach me anything.
god i hate teachers who don't like to teach...especially the kind that teach only for hero worshiping. it makes me want to.. BAM..
ugh.

i'm pissed off.

on a lighter note..urrr. maybe not. i went bowling today at the student union.. by myself.
it was kinda depressing bowling alone..but i didn't do too bad. i never got adjusted to the lane well...never got a strike. my average was a 90 something..so at least it's increasing.. my fingers are a little sore now.

john and i just had a huge argument on the way home. i'm pretty bitter about it all..
don't feel like talking about it. this is far worse than sibling rivalry..this is about
a friendship down flushing itself down the toilet.... very upseting. i wish he would actually care more... but i guess that's too much to ask for.

I really liked this post by

his post

I think it's a great example of how theory can only make sense in social endeavors or acts and within social and cultural context. Great post.

the kitties are back.
they spent the week with after i went to visit him last weekend.
i missed them so much. i think i'm going to start sleeping in the living room
so i can sleep with um. i might regret that. hehe...but jeremy bought me a wireless travel
alarm clock so i can set it up in the living room. cats can't chomp non-existent wires up. hehe. this weekend was nice. we rented two movies...legally blonde and swordfish.
they were okay. we went to eat at Chilli's on Friday to get their new special. It was okay but it was cheap. The service was fast. I liked that. :) I wasn't able to get Dr. Pepper though cuz of my UTI problem. :( I'm on anti-biotics.

On Saturday we went and got take out at this Thai resteraunt. We went back home and watched some football. Later that evening we went out with some old friends to this placed called Bahama Breeze. It was kind of a poshy caribean resteraunt. The wait was horrendous. We waited for an hour and thirty minutes. :(
We didn't complain though. They finally seated us around 9 something. We sat down and ordered but about 45 mintues later there was still no food. The waiter came back and told us that our food had gotten mixed up with another order and that our food had been given away. He said we'd get either a discount on our food or free desert. We all said we'd like the discount. 30 minutes passed by and still no food. He came back out and was like..urrr. I'm sorry.. it's going to be a few more minutes. He come back ten minutes later and says to Jeremy... "what did you order again?" Jeremy told him and the waiter was like "i'm sorry but we just gave away the least of that dish. you're going to have to re-order..and don't worry this meal is free." We were like "ok"...
They finally brought out three or our friends meals..but Jeremy and I were still meal-less. We got our meal 15 minutes later. hehehe.. The manager came out too. He said that we were good sports and that he'd make sure we got a discount on our food, some free desert, and some coupons for the next time we came. The waiter came out a few minutes later and said not to worry about what the manager said.. "the meal would be taken care of"... whew. well.. we left him a tip anyways.. i kinda felt sorry for the guy..although i'm not sure if it was his fault or not.

Sunday Jeremy, Adrian, and I went bowling. I'm always the loser when we go bowling. However the second game we played.. I WON! I got a turkey too!.. heh. which is prolly why i won. amazing.. my average is like 70 and I got a 155 that game! I plan on going bowling more often too. It's so great when practice starts to take it's tole.

For dinner, Jeremy made us some breakfast omlet which were really good..plus i had been craving them for awhile. We watched the Simpsons and Malcolm in the Middle and then he was headed back to Ft. Worth. :`(

I've been doing some theory reading ever since. One of our guest lecturers is making us do some crazy reading..plus we have to make comments over listerv type email.
oh boy.

Tomorrow I have to go to school early to meet with my urban and regional theory group. We have to start putting together our paper and presentation for the 4th of December.
aie. John's still not home.. He went home this weekend to visit his girlfriend. I haven't heard from him since... I doubt I'll hear from him till 2am.

ack. my computer is making funny noises.
i'm tired. i've been working on my studio project. i spent most of the evening
doing work work. mmm..fun. i took a tv break around 7 though.. i watched friends and will and grace. i didn't like the friends episode.

is coming over tomorrow evening. we're gonna go to chilli's and get their new surf and sirloin they've got.. we might hook up with some old friends on saturday night.. i don't know. i need to play catch up this weekend as well. i don't want to fall behind too badly on my academics.
pooty.

I had a tough time waking up this morning..even after jeremy gave me a wake up call.
I'm kinda tired now..
I just got back from school. I only had one class today. After class I strolled over to the Student Union where they were giving Flu shots. I got mine..and it only took two minutes. I've always been really reluctant to get the flu shot cuz it bothered me to get infected with a strand of the flu.. .but with my recent onslaught of health problems this year.. I'm thinking I shouldn't chance it anymore. My arm's kinda sore now.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- In 1997, an 18-year-old high school football player in
Minersville and a 17-year-old friend were stopped by police after leaving a
party.

Police charged the boys with underage drinking and, after finding the
younger one with two condoms, took them to the station, where they were
lectured on the Bible and homosexuality.

The arresting officer, F. Scott Willinsky, allegedly asked if they were
"queer" and threatened to tell their families they were gay. Marcus Wayman,
the football player, told his friend he was going to kill himself.

A few hours later, he did just that.

On Monday, a lawsuit filed by Wayman's mother over her son's death went to
trial in federal court in Allentown. The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified
damages, charges that the town and three of its police officers violated
Wayman's right to privacy.

"This is the first case that we know of that, after a tragic result like
this, a family comes back and tries to hold a public entity accountable for
trying to out them," said Eric Ferrero, a spokesman for the Lesbian and Gay
Rights project of the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents
Wayman's mother.

In an important pretrial decision, a federal appeals court in Philadelphia
ruled last year that a person's constitutional right to privacy includes
protection of his or her sexual orientation.

"It is difficult to imagine a more private matter than one's sexuality and a
less likely probability that the government would have a legitimate interest
in (its) disclosure," the court wrote in its 2-1 ruling.

The court also said that threatening to disclose the information was
tantamount to doing so, "because the security of one's privacy has been
compromised by the threat."

Police approached Wayman's car at about midnight, as the teens sat in a lot
next to a beer distributorship.

Willinsky, the son of then-Police Chief Joseph Willinsky, and Officer Thomas
Hoban took them to the station on underage drinking charges. The 17-year-old
had been drinking at the party.

Scott Willinsky later testified that both boys conceded, under questioning,
that they had stopped to have sex. The 17-year-old disputes making the
statement. Willinsky told Wayman that if he didn't tell his grandfather he
was gay, Willinsky would do so, according to the lawsuit.

Later that morning, police dropped Wayman off at the home he shared with his
grandfather.

"At his home, Marcus Wayman, depressed and disconsolate over the threats and
accusations, and feeling that the defendant police officers would carry
through on their threats and thereby stigmatize him, ruin his reputation,
and anger the main authority figure in his family, secured a firearm in the
house and, sometime before 6 a.m., committed suicide," the lawsuit states.

The three officers named in the lawsuit, Joseph Willinsky, Scott Willinsky
and Thomas Hoban, do not have listed numbers and could not be reached for
comment before the start of the trial. Their lawyer, Robert Hanna Jr., did
not immediately return a call Monday.

According to Ferrero, many school officials, social workers and others feel
they have a duty to share the information with parents when they learn that
a teen-ager may be gay.

Willinsky made a similar argument in court.

"Willinsky offers that, as a small town police officer, his role has
parental overtones, thus, reducing the citizen's expectation of privacy. ...
We mention this only to note our disagreement with the concept that the
breadth of one's constitutional rights can somehow be diminished by
demographics," Circuit Judge Carol Los Mansmann wrote in the opinion.

Minersville, population 4,900, is in a rural area about 100 miles northwest
of Philadelphia.

For a gay teen, the disclosure of his or her sexual orientation can be
traumatic -- and even dangerous, Ferrero said.

"Coming out is one of the single most significant moments of their lives,
especially when they're still in high school and they are forcibly outed,"
Ferrero said. "It can be extraordinarily traumatic, especially if maybe the
family is not supportive."

dadgummit.. this is the second month in a row discover hasn't given me my bill.
they're trying to get me.. luckily i get notified via email when the due date is near.
oh well.. need to take care of that sometime soon.
i'm about to head to studio now. i'm gonna grab a salad before class..
mmm.. a salad.

cough cough... it's no wonder i don't have friends when i'm sick all the time.
i feel like that kid in the movies who has to watch his friends play outside
while he's cooped up in a room with a cold.

on the brighter side of life. i'm finally getting caught up with my work load..
still far from being on top of things again..but one day i'll reach it..
i was at studio till 1am today.. and then i spent all day and just this latter
half of my night doing work work. i'm tired.
gonna go to sleep now.

night night.

i spent most of today resting up.
i got a little bit of work work done.
i'm at the lab right now fighting with the machines..
hunks of junks.
damn..then it's to the studio to play major catch up.

yesterday night was miserable. i was just going home from studio around midnight and
i took one last pee pee. it stung like a mother and it made me feel like i had to go really really bad right after. it continued like this for the next 3 hours. i'd go to the restroom
and then bam.. i'd have to go again.. each time it was extremely painful.. about 3am..
i started to notice i was pissing blood. oooh.. how fun. i called my parents and
asked my mom if i should go to the hospital. she said yes cuz i have to take care of it right away. i made my brother get up and go with me since the hospital is in downtown austin. they made me do the regular song and dance and wait and wait and wait..
only to tell me " you have a bladder infection we're going to give you medicine".. aaah. i could have told them that when i had walked through the door. ..but alas..i was going to get the drugs i needed. i think i went to the bathroom 10 times while waiting . we went to walgreens and filled my prescription..and we bought me lots and lots of gatorade and cranberry juice cuz that's supposed to help the medicine get through my body. we stopped at mcdonald's on the way back home and got two big breakfast deluxes.. they said not to take the medicine on an empty stomach. i went to the bathroom two more times.. ate my breakfast..and took the medicine. i then proceeded to watch tv until the meds kicked in.. aaah..then slowly...but surely around 8am..i finally got to go to sleep.. and now i'm about to eat lunch and take more meds. my pee is turning orange now.. the doctor said the drugs would do that.. weirdo.. anyhow..i'm so happy the pain is over.. it wasn't life threatening..but it was ack!

well we got in around 10pm. Jeremy had some home cooked sphagetti
waiting for us. it was very good. we watched star wars 1 and then
went to bed. hehe.. i just can't watch that episode 1 movie without
comments such as "what the hell was George thinking!"

today we're going to go eat at TU HAI..that chinese/vietnamese
resteraunt I used to eat at when i worked in ft. worth. mmm mmm..good cheap food.
we're prolly going to go see Monsters Inc. today as well. I'd like to get
some shopping and bowling in as well. weeee.. it's like a holiday.

i took some medicine today that cleared up my head..but it made
me sleepy as well. i'm kinda tired now. i had a sucky day in class.
my prof kinda pissed me off. oh well.

i'm gonna be heading off to ft. worth pretty soon. i'm just sitting out the traffic right
now. i already have my things packed.

cough cough. hack hack.
i kept coughing and sneezing in class today. it was totally
embarrassing. then i did the same thing while i was working in my studio.
i just couldn't go home right away though because traffic is unbearable
until after 6pm.
i went and got some take out from this thai resteraunt. it was good.
it made me feel better too. i watched some tv..and am trying to rest up.
i'm afraid i'm getting worse again. bleh.
the perpetually sick chick.
:P

i was productive this morning! yeah!
i did a lot of paid work and got one part of it in. i'm going to try and finish up
the next assignment by tonight..or tomorrow morning.
john and i are prolly gonna go visit jeremy in ft. worth this weekend.

i guess i better go pay my bills now!!!
water bill, credit card, credit card, apartment rent.
:(
