Jul. 29th, 2008 01:32 amI want to know why it is that I get all back into LJ and Ravelry and everything else *when*I*no*longer*have*internet*!
Really.
I have no idea what we're gonna do for the next few weeks - we have rent due (that we almost certainly have enough for, I think) but there's also the other CSA payment (because back when we signed up for the fucking CSA we were both gainfully employed and it made good sense) that's due and unavoidable/not opt-out-able, and a pair of concert tickets we commited to awhile ago (and I totally thought we could still afford when I talked to them recently because at that point a. Brian still had a job and b. I'd submitted the paperwork for unemployment and it was only supposed to take a week or so to do)
well? *Still* haven't heard back about the unemployment (I did email them today and will have to call them probably tomorrow except that I don't know when or how or who and am terrified), and Brian doesn't have a job anymore, which is a very Good Thing for his mental health because it was making him incredibly depressed and angry (we didn't even realize how much until it wasn't an issue anymore) and there's this absolutely (seems like) PERFECT job for him on campus that he's applying for (I just need to get the cover letter written to go with the rest of the stuff he filled out, and again with the freak out factor) and this job would be *SO* much better for our whole situation and give me the freedom to keep building the rest of the opportunities we're working on.
It's just that it's not happening instantaneously overnight and all this stuff is due pretty much *now*. ::headdeskconcusivelove::
And wow, this post was so totally not supposed to be about that stuff, it was supposed to be all about fandom-ish things. Like what rewatching the beginning of season 2 of Farscape was/is like (and DAMN but CDM was dark stuff... I was actually seeing some parallels to the Dark Knight in places - with Crichton as the Joker of all things. Yeesh.) or what watching season 2 of Lost (for the first time) has been like so far (DO NOT LIKE ANA LUCIA. AT ALL.)
So yeah. But apparently I needed a good rant.
