sick and tired of being sick and tired…

Why can’t I find any creative minds that have any sense of responsibility to their work?

It seems like for every creative venture that I try to explore with another person, I end up doing all of the work and/or pulling my hair out trying to “motivate” them, while their interests opt to come and go as it suits them (or their resumes). I dream big and can’t do everything by myself, but I always end up cutting things sort or eventually killing the project altogether because people are just fucking lazy. I can only imagine how some of my ideas past could’ve turned out, if only I’d had another equally ambitious person involved to help carry their share of the load.

It’s not fair that I can’t dream outside of the box because I can’t depend on people.

old school 101

I dug into the archives for a little gaming circa 1990 and played some Final Fantasy this evening (the PS1 enhanced version, not the real original). Apparently the last time I played, I’d been putting off doing the whole Earth Cave thing because there’s a lot of pain in the ass monsters down there, so I took about an hour and buzzed through all of those. Whooped Lich in about three minutes flat … he hardly had time to lay a hand on me … and then I reluctantly decided that it was time to put down the controller and get back to work… 🙁

Is it just me or do weeks seem to be going by really quickly these days? I feel like I don’t even count the actual days anymore, just whether or not I have to pay rent again on a given week. You know it’s bad when you find yourself asking, “What day is it?” more than a couple of times in a given week! I think I need a vacation.

No, not one of those – a REAL vacation this time! I don’t care what it costs … I just need to get away for a while. Any suggestions?

So I spent two grand on furniture last night…

Ok, no more spending for me until I pay off some bills, but Kane’s had a really good deal on the bedroom set that I’ve been wanting and after seeing their latest ad in the paper, I finally caved. It took a little haggling to get what I wanted and I ultimately ended up spending a little more than I had planned, but in my defense they are some really nice pieces and my bedroom could use some sprucing up!

Plus, who can really argue when they’re offering no interest, no payments until 2008?! 😉

So now I’m pondering whether or not I should go ahead and re-paint the bedroom to a shade of green that will better compliment all of my new additions. The furniture is all palm / bamboo / wicker-type stuff (tropical styles) that will go great with my new comforter, but it might just make the blue walls even more out of place … which kinda sucks because I really do like the color. I think I’ll wait until everything gets delivered next weekend so I can see if I can bring it together simply by adding a couple of plants with really big, green fronds, or if I’m going to have to dedicate another weekend to painting all over again.

The old me wouldn’t really care, but then again, the old me wouldn’t have just gone out and spent that kind of money on decorative furniture, either! I guess if I’m going to be here for another year or two before I can buy a house, I might as well be comfortable…

quote of the day – sexual harassment

“I read in the paper last week that sexual harassment can be defined as any unwanted sexual advance.
Shit, that’s every sexual advance I make!”

— Drew Carey (from Comic Relief 6, I think?)

Good stuff, but it’d probably be even funnier if it didn’t hit so close to home… 😮
