This week I’m dealing with two in-heat cats. One of which likes to start yowling at random times, usually at night. To keep my room mate and the neighbors happy, I have to stay up all night and make the loud one stop each time she starts so everyone can get their sleep. When I finally get to go to bed, the quieter one likes to come up and bother me. Never thought this would be my life at my age. Always wanted to travel the world and look at ruins and various cultures, and basically just learn a bunch. Never really had an idea of a career attached to that traveling and learning, but it’s something I wanted to do. Instead I’m keeping cats quiet. Fan-f*cking-tastic.

Anyway, this week I learned that my room mate doesn’t have a very secure position with the new owners of the place he works, and maybe sometime in the future at a staff meeting that has yet to be scheduled he’ll learn more. I think at this point I’m hoping something bad happens. I’ve said it several times, but I really hate how things are right now. I really want things to change, and usually they change when something bad happens, so that’s what I’m hoping for. If I had the knowledge and ability to change how life is at the moment, I would. I just don’t know exactly what to do to make the things I want to happen, happen. Or maybe I don’t have the spine to do those things, whatever they are. Or maybe it’s bit of both confused

This week, the person who wanted the critique I mentioned last week sent me an updated version before I was done with the previous one. I don’t mind, since some of the things from the previous version were changed or fixed so I don’t have to pick at them, I just had to start over. Like before, I keep getting distracted while working on this one. I don’t really know why. I’m not even being distracted by interesting things. It’s usually a plain old game of tetris I go off to fiddle with, and before I know it several hours are gone which I should have spent working. What the hell is wrong with me?

There is an upside to this week though: I thought of a new way The Beauty and the Beast could happen. I can’t say it’s an entirely new idea because I haven’t read or seen ever version of the fairy tale, but I like what I’ve come up with so far. I’m not going to post any details because I haven’t ironed them out and they might change, so there really isn’t a reason to say more. My paranoia about idea theft doesn’t help either...

Until next week.
