I didn't know it was your birthday recently. Happy Birthday.

@applelight Limited: Oh, I thought by "paid off" you got paid for that time off. Now that makes sense.
I'm still surprised at how much time you get regardless, and presumably that at least some of it is paid.

I get paid off for months at a time. That . . . sounds to good to be true. I'm assuming there is some sort of nasty catch.

@ Applelight Limited: It just seems odd to me that it's almost every month you can have time off to take. I know that many in my family couldn't do that even if they wanted too.

japaneseteeth: My mother was doing some early morning laundry when the lint exhaust hose feel out of the back of the dryer. For some reason she decided to keep the dryer going while she went to wake me up in order to put the hose back in. When I figured out what was going on and told her to turn off the dryer the dryer but by the time she did that something was already burning and set off the fire alarm shortly after. Thankfully what ever it was was only in the dryer and did not burn for very long, but we're not sure if we can use the dryer until someone comes to look at it, so yeah, more expenses to take into account. @applelight: I'm always rather surprised at the amount and reliability of the time you get off while employed. If I were employed I know I wouldn't have nearly that much time nor the ability to take it.

Well, my mother nearly burned down the house this morning, so that's something.
Also technically started my last class the other day, though since it's online it really hasn't affected my schedule and how I do things much. So given that I'm still looking for a job, preferably a government job with at least the prospect of benefits. It would really help things around here.

50 year old sports cars would probably be too conspicuous for MI6's purposes and they'd be better of going with an affordable Japanese model. 007 is just too high maintenance for that sort of thing. Also I just got back from vacation. It was not as bad as I was expecting, but it could have been better. My brother and I want to go back and are already kind of making plans to do so, but we would prefer to go without our parents, which may not be an option. It's also weird, having the past having been able to go to Disney at the drop of a hat and then continue to go some ridiculous amount of times a year that, no, you can't do that, a Disney World vacation requires months of planning and booking and is fucking expensive. Still, I'd like to go back, even if it takes a solid year of saving money to do so . . . which it probably will.

@applelight: If my brother and I had our own car we probably would, but we don't and our mom wants it to be a "family vacation" so . . . yeah.
Well if nothing else I'm feeling in a pretty Disney mood right now, so I should enjoy at least some of this. It also makes me want to watch a bunch of Disney movies and play Kingdom Hearts again, but I'll probably never get around to doing that.

I've had to clean out my closet for a long time. I'm probably going to need a face-mask and gloves to explore it safely. I'm rather afraid of what I will find when I finally do clean it out, can't imagine anything I have being in good condition.
Also at the end of the week I'm going up with my family to Disney World. It's exciting in theory but as the trip gets closer I'm really not sure how it's going to turn out, especially given the problems of money and individual desires. Disney World ain't cheap and my brother and I aren't kids that'll do whatever thing my parents want anymore.

I thought Journal 3 was mostly going to be supplemental material on monsters and other anomalies in the show. While that is still partially true it also seems to be dumping a lot of big back story, characterization, and other important canon information that would have been better served in the show itself or just being left out entirely. Putting it all in this book seems rather poor move to me, especially if it doesn't leave much to the imagination afterwards.
I know those guys you've been working with have been annoying, but don't do something you are going to regret later, especially not at one of their homes.

Hope the trip goes well.
Speaking of trips, my parents want to take all four of us here to Disney World for a week. My father says we've got enough money for it, but I'm leery about the whole thing even if I do want to go.
Well, if nothing else Steven Universe is back on, which is great. Also, that Gravity Falls Journal 3 supplemental thing is coming out tomorrow, which I'm not feeling as great about.

I feel kind of silly for saving up some money in anticipation of Amazon Prime Day. The deals this year have been decidedly mediocre.
So, anyone playing Pokemon GO? I've been hearing a lot about it lately and it sounds pretty fun, if not something I would necessarily want to put time into.

I was actually at a zoo last year, sort of. Never actually went inside because even though the race ran through the zoo we were actually based out of the park that was next door.

I've got an event tomorrow and Monday so I'm feeling kind of the same way.
By the way, I think the odds are good that Wales are going to be in the finals considering how overrated the Portuguese team usually is at the national level. Iceland I'm afraid are probably not going to make it considering that their next game is against the home team France, and even if they make it through that they still have to play either Italy or Germany depending on how the "Pact of Steel" game goes. Honestly though I can't say the tournament hasn't been good as long as it doesn't end with "germany wins lol!"
