OK so I'm in the process of replacing my mooshed up Mazda 323 with a used Ford Escort. But I've got to find a way to get rid of the (still running, but kind of super ghetto and scary) Mazda before I can switch the insurance over and drive the new one. It feels like it's taking forever. I think I'm gonna call tomorrow and have a scrap guy come buy it. I'd offer to sell it to a friend, but I can't think of any friends I dislike that much. It's probably not worth the cost of insuring it for a month.

Anyway I just spent the last two days in the heat prying the audio system out of the old 323 and transplanting it into the Escort, and today, right after I make the final connections and everything works great, and I'm SUPER proud of myself, it just stops working. The radio doesn't turn on and the dash lights stop turning on. They're on the same circuit, but the fuse looks fine and replacing it does nothing. I think I broke a wire in the process of jamming the radio into the console. Or my fuse box is suddenly bad. I don't know. I'm just upset and tired now.

Also, today the power supply (I suspect) died on my PC. I'm typing from my dad's computer right now. This is a serious drag.

I don't even know what shit classes I have to take in order to graduate. I'm sure as hell not learning anything here anymore.

I can't draw lately. I've all but given up on it. It's highly discouraging. Although with all my other projects screeching to a halt like this, there's not much else to do. There's people I owe commissions and I just can't do a damn thing

And I'm sick. I've had this sort of coughing thing for a week now. My whole family has it and I'm getting kind of tired of it. By now it's probably just my allergies riding in the wake of whatever it was I had.

I haven't been getting enough hours at work over the summer, and none of the places I applied at called me back, and I also haven't gotten any mural commissions, so I'm seriously broke. There's probably no way I can afford AX this year, and (have I mentioned this?) there's no artist's tables left at Anime Vegas so that's off the agenda too. After all, it's pretty much the only reason I attend. When you take away the road trip element, and the artist's alley (sorry, but Yaoi Press and Anime LA--whoever the hell they are--do not an artist's alley make) it becomes depressingly apparent how fucking dumb these things are. I'll probably only attend Saturday, to buy Pokemon pins and maybe see the masquerade if my friends are still entering. Everyone, remember to write on your feedback cards this year that you miss bagshotrow's table and that the artist's alley was too small. So small that it reminded you of your own inadequacies, and you will now require therapy to restore your self esteem. Threaten to sue.

Have I seriously not just gone out with friends since april? What the fuck. How can I be doing nothing and still need a night off?

Well, I'm nearly out of topics through which to channel my misery onto you, and I've got to be at work tomorrow morning, so I think it's time to retire. Catch you all real soon ya ok later
