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.
