Last night’s update was rather hurried, since I wanted to update and yet at the same time I needed to get myself to bed. I left out a few things in my rush. Namely, how awesome Veronica Mars was last night. The whole “stand alone” episode thing was sorta lame, Mike and I both thought so. The allure is how the big mysteries are sewn together. This season has been lacking mostly because the mystery wasn’t all that big. They could have dragged out the rape mystery so much longer, or even the Dean’s murder, since so many things were overlooked and the way Veronica ended up solving it was sorta lame. But the storyline with Piz is very intriguing and I’m excited to see how that’s all going to play out. Only four more episodes, and then we’ll know the fate of the series.
It turns out that the San Diego trip is probably not happening. This is very disappointing. Every time we make plans to go to California, something gets in the way. I was looking forward to hanging out in the hotel, having some relaxation time by the pool and seeing the Pacific Ocean. Looks like our June will be spent here in Texas. Maybe by then I’ll be able to work again. It may still work out that we get to go, but Mike told me not to get my hopes up. Which means the opposite, that they’re crushed! Oh well, there may be more trips in the future that actually pan out.
I’ve got social security on hold right now trying to figure out what the heck is going on with my number. Actually, they’ve got me on hold. Or something. I still haven’t spoken to a real person yet, just played 20 questions with the machine. All I want is to open a bank account in my name. That’s it! That should not be so hard. I might head over to Bank of America and add my social to that account just so that it has some activity and it might let me open this new account. I don’t really see the point in having it if I can’t even use it. I just want a bank account! Why is that so hard? So there’s nothing wrong with my number, it’s just the bank that is slow in updating their information seeking databases. Bah, what a pain in the bum. The guy that I talked to said that it was most likely just a delay in the system and that I should be able to open my accounts in several weeks. Sigh. Too much red tape, I say.
Mike made me a light box for photographing my eBay sales last night. We used this DIY blog post to do it. I haven’t used it yet but I’m hoping to get some play out of it today. I still need to shower and eat lunch and all of that, not to mention bake cookies and clean, but I’m pretty excited about it and will probably photograph non-eBay things just to get more practice out of it. I’ve already got some subjects in mind that I wouldn’t even consider selling – like my Darth Tater! I have some things to drop off at the Post office too. Man, I can’t wait until we have a mail box. Even a USPS drop-off box big enough for packages would be nice. I’ll probably be posting up some pictures soon, should be a fun thing to mess with.
That’s it for me, for now. I hope that everyone is doing well. Leave me a comment or a message, let me know how you are doing and what’s up!
