I just moved my blog over from the IMVU blog, which is somewhat limiting and hard to understand and had some sort of caching problem (which Dusty said they didn't know about and were going to file a bug on) to my blogger blog, which I set up in December when I was taking a class on vlogging and podcasting. It's very easy to use and now I'm a bit inspired to maybe do some actual podcasting, but in the meantime all the posts I carefully predated are showing up as all being from yesterday and they don't show up in the correct order anyway. I'm trying to get over that and not let it bother me because really I don't know if it makes any difference to anyone but me what order they're in, but if they show up correctly on blogger, why not in the RSS feed? More troubling is why the title text is white and the background is grey. It doesn't match the settings of the panel, the settings in my main blog OR the look in the RSS preview thingy. WTH???
I watched a movie last night called "Shortbus". That there is the epitomy of an "unrated" movie. Really sort of a porn/mainstream crossover. It's about a sex therapist who has never had an orgasm and she spends the movie searching for one in New York City. It's actually not bad, although I only know one person I would actually recommend it to. Tons of nudity and sex and some bizarre stuff I won't mention here.
So...other things I did yesterday instead of getting all the work done I should have...
Well, I spent a lot of time emailing. Oh, and talking on the phone, which sucks because my earbuds broke so I have to actually hold the phone up to my ear. I'm not a big fan of talking on the phone and when both people are on a cell phone it's often like "what? what? Can you hear me now?" and I don't think it's the network.
I'm just not good at juggling all the things that need to get done in life. Cleaning is a good example. I'm a bit of a slob, or at least messy. I have a lot of books and papers and not enough places to put them. Same with clothes and random things like boxes full of cd/dvd storage cases. Plus, I just don't think to do things like scrub the bathroom tiles very often. Recently I thought if I spent maybe 30 minutes cleaning every day, then eventually my place would be all clean. What I didn't factor in was the part where things get messy again and need to be cleaned AGAIN, so that 30 minutes a day of cleaning will eventually just cause you to reach some sort of half-messy status quo which is better than before but is not really "clean". Plus I still don't have enough storage space, and this is even after getting rid of tons of stuff.
Today I don't know how much actual work I'll get done because I really need to clean my bathroom, do laundry, vacuum, clean the kitchen, and run some errands like get more cat litter and bleach, and then I'll barely have time to get ready before we are going out to see "Hot Fuzz". Heheh...I am really looking forward to that movie, but otoh I am a little stressed about probably not getting anything done today work-wise. I know it's just life and that billions of people live it every day, but how do people balance income producing activities, social life, cleaning/organizing and exercise? Oh yeah, and cooking/eating a balanced diet...that has to fit in there somewhere too.
I know I'm totally whiney this morning and I know I'm hardly unique...but loads of people do all these things and I would like to know how! For a long time I mostly concentrated on work, and then I put my main focus on exercise and work fell to the side a bit and I added the cooking/eating part and work really started slipping. Then I added in the social life part and work got even worse and eating started to slip. Then I tried to add in cleaning and also get more work done...it's...so...hard! Someone either commiserate with me or explain how you do it!

Maybe you need that pesky cousin who used to come to parties and then be in the kitchen doing dishes because she was totally socially inept to hang around. Ahhh, but she lives in the frozen wastelands... (I used to think the messy house I lived in was my fault until I got my own place. I'm no Felix Unger, but my place is pretty clean - just, ummm, don't open the closets, k?)
OMG...you know what I remembered about that party? I don't remember you washing dishes but I do remember you brought me a loaf of bread because I was trying to drink one of my roommates under the table. I think I had 14 shots of 151 rum and he had 15 or so. I went and threw up and then went on to drink for the rest of the night and into the morning while Robert went on to feel sick for the rest of the evening. Ha.
Anyway...and YOUR parents thought YOU would be a bad influence on ME????
