Here’s the first post of wallpapers for your iPhone. I don’t have an iPhone (thanks, t-mobile), but if I did I’d so want some awesome wallpapers. Let me know if you use it. I’m just curious. I’m open to requests, as well.

    I had an interview at 1PM today. It’s the first interview I’ve had for anything anywhere near BFE, which is where I currently live. When people say “I’m way out in BFE” they could probably stop by my house for tea on their way to somewhere better. Seriously. Middle of nowhere.

Even though the job is near my house, the interview was in Baton Rouge. That’s fine. It’s worth the trip. I showed up there early, had an awkward interview of course, and took my tests. I start tomorrow at noon instead of Monday so I can get everything on a slower day. Everything went wonderfully until I was about to walk out the door. I don’t know why I didn’t see it coming, but the manager(I think) caught me and told me that when he called the place to tell them I’d be starting tomorrow, they informed him that they had gone through multiple staffing companies and they didn’t need anyone anymore. Yep. That’s the fucking story of my life. it was so hard not to cry in front of those people. I’m just sick of something like this, something completely out of my control happening last minute once I have my hopes up.

So then I’m so upset, I went the wrong way on the interstate. By the time I realized it, I had ended up in Hammond, which is FAR away.  Bring on the tears. I stopped and got a HUGE chocalatey cappuccino to drown my sorrow. It didn’t work. The cappucino was fantastic, though.

When I got BACK onto the interstate going the right way, the rain started. This wasn’t rain. I’ve heard that when it rains it’s angels crying. Well, today the angels were dealing with some serious depression. All of them. visibility was zero. none. a car passed me up and just disappeared. I was terrified. I had to drive ALL the way back from Hammond going between 35 and 40 on the 70mph interstate. I was an hour late picking Seth up.

When I finally got home, Gary accused me of being mean, when I was absolutely not. Way to make it all about you. Thanks. That just was it for me. I went to bed. I’m feeling a bit better now. I drew some, made some iPhone wallpapers  (which I will be posting next)   and made cheesecake.

I think I should make a list of books I’ve read this year. I need to do something to hold myself accountable to read more. I’ve seriously only read 3 books so far. So sad. Especially since I have had SO much free time. It doesn’t feel like it, but I do. I always feel like I have less free time when I have nothing but it.

  For the past few weeks, a cat has been hanging around near my house. The poor thing has been living under an abandoned house next to mine. I saw her another time cuddled up next to a dog across the street. A few days ago, I walke doutside and she was sitting on the front steps meowing at me. She didn’t look like she was starving or anything, just like she wanted attention unlike all the skittish strays around here. I gave her some food and water, played with her some, put some sheets and rugs out on a chair and went to bed.

The next morning, she was still there, curled up in the sheets. she stuck around all day, and even came inside when I got home. she slept next to me for hours and slept in my bed all night.

I put an ad to re-home her up on craigslist and immediately got an email from a woman in my neighborhood saying someone was looking for a calico. She gave me her number, I called her and set up a time to meet her. I met her and handed the cat over. I didn’t want to, but I really can’t keep her. We’re planning on moving soon, and 3 cats looks like a lot.

K. Tonight I got a call from an excited girl named Kashonna. She was so excited that the cat, HER cat was alive, and was ready to have her back home. The cat’s name is Monet and she was VERY much missed. Here’s the kicker. The girl lives well over 15 miles away! i don’t know how she got that far so quickly. The girl said she disappeared about 3 weeks ago, which is when she showed up around here. The conspiracy theorist in me knows exactly how she got so far so quickly. The same way my cats that would never run away got so far away from my house. Yeah.

Anyway, I gave her the woman’s name and number and wished her well. I really do wish her well. I’d hate to lose such a sweet cute cat.

   It’s been a bit. I guess getting over that really bad night took a little longer than I thought. There was screaming. There was crying. There was door slamming. Not fun. Scary. It’s over now, and I remembered St. John’s Wort, thanks to a commenter. Thank you, Erika. I haven’t given Seth any yet, as he seems to be doing O.K. right now, but It’s helped me feel better.

Saturday, Gary and I went to a Martin Atkins seminar at Insomkneeacks. It’s mostly directed towards musicians, but there was a good amount of information that applied to any entrepreneur/artist/promoter/businessperson/regular guy. He’s also pretty funny. Partly because of his sense of humor and partly because he’s neurotic and appears to be afflicted with ADD.  It was 100%  good experience. It’s a shame more local musicians were there; he could’ve helped improve the music scene. It certainly needs help.

Today was full of eating ice cream, taking pictures of a farm, watching Sex and Breakfast and cleaning up. Tonight was drinking homemade spiced cider, playing rummy, and my feet freezing on the porch. I’d say it’s a good Sunday. Seth was good. I wasn’t tired all day. It will feel good to go to bed, though.

The photo is of a small field with 3 cows in it. The colors haven’t been touched up. The contrast was gorgeous. The color of the grass is so pretty. There will be more photos on my Flickr soon.
