Weekend at the Parents'
17 years ago
This weekend, well... I packed up my Wii and brought it with me to my parents'. DnD games with Gabby seem to be over and I didn't have any with Vince this weekend so I figured I might as well. There's still a bit of tension but I think mom & dad are finally taking a clue and keeping their noses out of my life and stopped jabbing at me every time we see eachother.
It was... a pretty quiet weekend all in all. Rented Obscure: The Aftermath with my brother and we finished it in 8 hours or so. Spent the rest of my time playing Super Mario Galaxy. I'm done with it now, short of replaying the entire game as Luigi. I know I'm going to be kicking myself for it later since I'm more or less broke, but I couldn't manage to pass up picking up Starfox: Assault and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The video store was getting rid of it's remaining Gamecube games in stock and I got both of them for 14$ each.
Ah well, it'll give me something else to do in between World of Warcraft and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. while I wait for June. ...which reminds me, I need to take another appointment with my endo.
Been perusing the newspaper for apartment ads and, so far, not really found much in the price range I can afford. I dunno about Vince and Alex, but... I can't afford more than 300$/month. 350$ at max if I include hot water, heating and electricity. I'll have to check some of the affordable places out with Vince later today or this week, depending on when he's available.
Still at my parents' place for the time being. Normally I would already be heading home by now (Dad drops me off on the way to work) but he's sick and taking the day off. Gonna figure out a way to get home later, I have appointments tomorrow. ._.;
Oh well. On the bright side, I'm not gouging my wallet for breakfast today.
Other than that, I got a letter from VISA, apparently my credit's too bad and my income is too low, so I got refused for a reduced rate credit card. Bastards.
(Not getting a new one, switching from MC to VISA, and getting 10% interest instead of 18%)
That could have actually helped afford to pay off what I have in debts. :/
Blah.
New bank account is up though, that's a good thing. Now I just need to get it linked to Paypal. Then maybe, just MAYBE, I can get some extra income doing commissions. I actually kinda doubt it because I've tried a few times and fail to keep up with it, but... well, it's not like I have much other choice. It's either that or going through the whole "get a job, get sick from pressure, lose job" scenario all over again.
That's about it... I could really go for a coffee now.

When I look at apartments I'm generally looking at 800-1100$ per month, I'm just keeping in mind (and I keep telling Vince and Alex) that I can't pay more than 350$ per month as my share of the bill.
Food and stuff not considered... I basically live on internet and soup anyways.
