Counting Paperclips

So now I'm working the front desk every afternoon at the American Heartland Theatre. It's not so bad, but all I do is answer the phone and play online. And I don't really have the much to do online. I find that since I've started creating websites, I have a lot less desire to look at other sites. It makes it feel like work.

I'm sure msot everyone knows that I've been hard at work on the Drake Theatre Alumni Page, Drake Mafia Online. I thought about it this morning, and if for some reason, someone offered to pay me by the hourly work I've done on the site, I couldn't even begin to count how many hours I've logged. It's at least two a day, and that's only after the site has gone up. The hours it took to actually do the site, to learn how to password protect and make e-mail forms
and message boards and stuff has taken literally days.

Ish. No wonder I have no money.

So for a change, I didn't bring my laptop to the office, because even when I do, I still work on sites at home, and if I'm going to be at home tonight watching all three episodes of Friends that are on every Thursday, I might as well do it then, you know?

And at 8:30, when the Just Snooze Me Sleep-a-thon starts, I'm going to the gym. That gives me two hours until the next Friends episode at 10:30. I'm hoping that by putting it right here in words will force me to do it.

I've grown discouraged with fitness and diet and stuff in the last few weeks. Granted, if we look at the bigger picture, I've lost around 15 pounds since January, and gotten into much better shape than I was when I came home last Christmas. On nice days, I like to ride my bike down the trolley track path thing-y in Brookside. So then I feel that I've been athletic enough for one day, and the will to go to the gym is much less strong.

I try to remind myself that Gwyneth is not going to want this fat lazy slob for a husband, and I'd better get to the gym, but she's never around to motivate me. She has a career to think of, and although I'd like her to be here all the time, I can't be that selfish.

I haven't talked to Sarah about the Chicago move yet. Hopefully I can still have her apartment in July. My plan (at the moment...talk to me tomorrow...and the next day) is to go up on July 8th and live there until August, and then Joe will come up and we can have our own apartment.

I haven't talked to Joe lately either. So I don't know if that plan is still a go. I really don't want to be staying here in Kansas City. I get paid $6.00 an hour at the front desk, and I only have costume/prop work for about three weeks per show. Although this does give me a lot of free time to work on web pages, and although I do get paid OK for those...I still don't have as much money as I would like. I haven't bought a CD in ages. I think I've gotten three since Christmas. Two of them (Dave Matthews and David Gray) were opening night presents from Mom and Dad, and after I sold all those books I bought myself NOW 6 as a gift to myself.

I require a lot more CD's than this. Not fair. Go back to the archives and read all about my Napster troubles and lack of CD money.
