"But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters..."

You ever just spend a goodly part of a day feeling like a whiny bastard? That's what blogs are often all about, right?
Well, I shall spare you the gory details. Here's how today wound up:

1) WE NOW HAVE AN APARTMENT!
2) My birthday is Thursday. That's not new.
3) I spent a lot of money on furniture, also I bought a digital camera for myself for my birthday.
3a) I'm so stressed about money, but being poor is what art is about, right? Right? Hey! Right?
4) My car IS running, it was just out of gas, Grant. Heh... That's funny NOW, but wasn't THEN.
5) Held auditions today to fill out the HAMLET cast. Found our Laertes quite early - A friend I had no idea was that good! Gertrude may wind up being a compromise. One guy we auditioned was SO very good, and yet unavailable. Will be contacting him about the future. Needs maybe to lose some weight, though.
6) Received a WONDERFUL CD in the mail today, and you all must check it out if you like all the music the kids play. The good stuff, not the kind with any initials in the group names. The Endless debut album, "Grumpy Ghost."
7) ALSO got another CD, unexpectedly... Star Wars the Musical. Possibly the single funniest thing I've ever heard, played totally straight. Great.
8) July 25 is my birthday.
