I'll pray for the flood

So it's already June, and I haven't worked since January. 9thmoon said that journal entries were one of the first things to suffer. I can see that. Who has any interest in re-hashing recent failures, or at best re-hashing a lack of progress?
When cleaning your room takes a good chunk of the day and most of your energy, thinking about writing (here or on any of my fiction projects) seems frivolous and unappetising.
Since I started looking at retail, I've at least gotten a couple of calls. Frye's and WhereHouse had positions I might have fit.
And I'm surrounded by helpful lovely people. In case I haven't mentioned it, I'd probably be in Idaho sorting potatoes and brushing up on my Spanish (assuming I survived that long) if it weren't for them. Mad Phat Props out to my homies, nowhamsayn?
I want to see Rent for my birthday. I sent out email to a handful of folks last week announcing my plans, and that I would be buying tickets for only the people who had put money in my hands by the fifth. I don't have any money /yet/ but people are expressing interest. It remains to see whether this year will be a birthday party year or not.

I fought the law

Oh, and in case the RIAA ever gets its head out of its ass and actually cares to look for evidence that LaunchCast is devastating its sales:

Every single new CD I bought in the past year was because I heard a cut on LaunchCast and said 'Damn! I've gotta get me this!'
I don't know /where/ else I would have heard Apocalyptica, the four cello students who do Metallica covers....
