Woke up feeling very sad today, for reasons I can't really get into. And then I realized that, despite a lunch date today, I have no cash. Wah.

Dude, I could use some of this right now.

Saturday: Angsty breakfast--angstfast, if you will--with Mom. George went fishing with his son, Michael, so I got called in to pinch-hit for their weekly breakfast at Chappy's, because the waitresses miss them if they don't. Anyway, it was a lot of Stressful Mommy Talk. You know how it is. Have you done this, are you going to do that, so on and so forth. And then there was grocery shopping.

Announcement: If you get any email from info@dailydigest.net, or really ANYTHING@dailydigest.net that isn't "cleolinda," it's spam. Particularly if it says something about a password or "Your Account is Suspended" (we don't HAVE accounts!) and has an attachment. I'm really angry that they're spoofing my website address to snooker people, so if you happen to recognize that, it's not from me.

Sunday: Mmm, chocolate chip muffins.

School: So, I made an A on my paper--astonishingly fast turnaround on that one, but I made a 90 ("could have used more historical background, but otherwise great as usual") and an A for the class. Yay!

Vladimir's still having fun in Singapore; I'm having a pretty good time pretending I'm at the beach, out in the backyard by the pool. (Yes, pool. Now you know why I'm still living at home "while I'm in school and writing my first book." God bless my parents.)

Software you need: I just backed up all my journals (comments, too!), and it was beautiful. Also, if you have a journal at JournalFen? You might want to get over there and back it up. Shit's going down over there.

Scientology: The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power. A must-read from Time magazine, 1991. Scariest part: the harassment the writer himself endured when the "Church" caught wind of the article he was writing.

What I'm listening to right now:

Ginger Ale ft. Sondre Lerche, "Wrong Reasons"
Really snazzy song. Very summer, in a retro kind of way.

Imogen Heap, "Goodnight and Go"
Actually, the file name has "frou frou" in it, but the track tag says "Imogen Heap." So I don't know. Really cute song, though.

Gwen Stefani, "What You Waiting For (Jacques Lu Cont TWD Mix)"
Funny, it reminds me a lot of the time-travel music in Prisoner of Azkaban--the ticking. Also, does not include the line "You stupid ho." This may be a plus or a minus for you.

Catherine Wheel, "Sparks Are Gonna Fly"
I don't even remember where I got this from, but I really like it.

The Servant, "Cells (Lunged Instrumental Mix)"
Don't forget to pop over to http://www.theservant.co.uk and get your official instrumental version, by the way.

Off to scrounge for change in the couch cushions or something.


ETA: Dammit, I just burned my waffles.

I feel the money flow issues. I got called for jury duty and sat on a trial the same week I started a new job, and then the trial ran for two weeks. They did pay us, but the check only arrived yesterday, and the trial was a few weeks back. So I had no paycheck plus I had travel costs to get to the courthouse.

Bleah. Wasn't even a sexy case.

angstfast. i like that. i mean, i never have breakfast, but if i did, and it was angsty, i'd so call it that.

[chorusgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the LJArchive ref; it looks pretty cool so far.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Hope your day gets better.

You are yay in a bottle, Lauren. That LJ-archive thing looks awesome, and I was just thinking I need to start archiving my LJ. Congrats on the A! "Goodnight and Go" is an Imogen Heap song; people are stupid about not recognizing the difference between a solo project and the band (fun fact, Imogen Heap was solo before Frou Frou). Is that "Cells" instrumental the one off the website? I signed up for the mailing list several days ago, but I haven't gotten anything yet.

*hugs*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's a remix. I'll post the Cells instrumental, but I kind of wanted people to get it through signing up if they could. You know, support the band and all. Check your junk mail--it looks like spam; it's from "Mailing List."

Maybe Mom will float you a loan for your lunch date? And your lunch date will pick up your spirits.

Congrats on the A!

Lots of hugs til you are feeling less angsty!

Hugs, Christina

All I have in there are offers for Cialis and Viagra. Cheap!

Have you heard more Servant? I've been getting into "Beautiful Thing" and "Devil" lately. They do have a habit of giving incredibly weird lyrics some sort of...word-I-can't-think-of-that-means-like-importance-or-sense-of-drama-or-something: "sucking on black orange juice out of carton / you think i'm the loosest tooth with your tongue"?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I really like "Body." And yeah--"When you make a cup of tea / you act like it's alchemy / it's not, it's not what you think it to be."

I got Jillian's email, by the way--the doll looks lovely so far, and I need to actually write her back. I hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Wait, SINGAPORE? *zooms*

And aww. *hugs*

scientology b.s.

[gaminette.livejournal.com]

thanks for the link on the time magazine article - curiously, it doesn't mention that L. Ron Hubbard was heavily influenced by Aleistar Crowley and the OTO. now, I dig Uncle Al and my homies at the OTO - Uncle Al, however, called Hubbard a "lout," and Scientology is just the OTO, only simplified, dumbed-down and bullcrapped up. I loathe L. Ron with such a passion...and the members of his cult, the so-called scientologists, I am sad to admit, I am really, really down on. It's so dishonest and such a shame. >_< .

[adoresixtyfour.livejournal.com]

Sorry about the sadness. And the angstlfast. And the waffles. Many hugs.

Re: scientology b.s.

[christigilly.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I knew Scientology was the crazy, but wow.

[evilbearhunter.livejournal.com]

Cleo, get the Chocolate Therapy and put it on the waffles. Mmmm.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Aw, *hug*. So much else I could say, but I'd probably misconstrue everything anyway.

[eruvadhril.livejournal.com]

That icecream must have depleted the world's chocolate supplies.
Yay for the A!

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

*sniffle* I want my happy, snarking F_W back! Not this drama-full place of st00pid. :-( Everyone goes batshit insane in the summer...

*hug* Feel happier!

[jennnk.livejournal.com]

So I read that article about Scientology and I totally understand why Tom Cruise has gone so batshit crazy. And why every woman he dates becomes a Scientologist!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, it's what you think it is--what we talked about.

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the A!

The Scientology article scared me. Yeesh. Thank goodness I'm Canadian ^^

mmm Singapore... that place was nice... I wanna go again, Vladimir is lucky!

[hail-atlantis.livejournal.com]

There seems to be more angst going around than any of us needs these days. I hope the bad Angst Monster will leave you alone, soon. He's been visiting me as well.

Cash flow problems SUCK.
