well then yr doin ALLLRIGHT

i thought minimum wage was $8.00

nope. it should be.

then again, there is a difference between minimum wage and a living wage.

i know that here in bmore a living wage is estimated at $11.

minimum wage in USA (federal mandate) is like $7.25

For someone to work full time and not be listed as below the poverty line in the USA, he/she has to earn at least $10/hour.

Drinking a glass of Trapiche Malbec and eating some leftover Mexican dip.

Basking in the glow... mrs gmku e-mailed to say that the pearls I sent are a wonderful, lovely gift and that we're doing long-distance anniversary wine toasting this evening.

literally or equivalently w inflation and all?


aus minimum wage is $11 USD. Doesn't mean people don't get paid less though. tax free/cash in hand are always under this.

trimming my cuticles.

half-assed watching the wedge, surfing the net.

being drunk

also knocking everything over

cooking a minimalist very late lunch.

recovering from mexican/swine/new flu...

first beer of the evening. Coopers Pale Ale.

there's mildly tolerable techno thumping across the street. perfect night, no wind, might walk to the local teppanyaki, which is about one Ramones song away.

sleeping it off

Getting ready to go out. I lost my lipstick.

trying not to die out of boredom in my dad's living room, i'm basically waiting for an acceptable hour to go to bed so i can go into my room and read without looking like an antisocial bitch.

waiting for my hair to dry so i can put my weave in

i'll wave around a bit, the breeze will make it dry quicker.

feelin' like death.

3 hours of sleep is awesomem.

looking sexy as hell wif my hairs

'thank you so much ploesj, for the pleasant breeze'

yes! i couldn't have done it without you!

yes! i actually helped someone today!

you help every day!

watching the greatest movie ever, back to the future!

thank god.

it's fun anyway, that's why i do it.

a few days ago i repaired my boyfriend's pants after he ripped a hole in them by jumping on his brother's back. you could stick your head through it!

eating potato chips and talking to ploesj on facebook chat :)

Just watched High School Confidential. What a hoot.

Just finished my english homework, thank god.

Bout to give my girlfriend a haircut, then we'll either watch gits 2, or play wii.

Took half-hour walk in the woods with my pup. Came home and had a glass of wine. Watched Intacto. Now gonna watch The Maid.

Have the air off and the windows open for the first time in about 6 weeks. Temps falling slightly, less humid, great cool night air for sleeping.

I like fall much better than summer.

smoke after dinner

Trying to remember where I misplaced my DVD of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I've been looking for it for a week.

eating lots of fruit/trying to detox after atp [which was amazing btw] [i was only supposed to go friday, but i ended up staying another day]

Much to both of our surprise it turned out really good. She loves it : ):
