I am all packed and ready to go to Sacramento for the big gaming convention. I'm helping JonnyC promote his movie, which should be fun. And hey; I get free t-shirts outta the deal! I have to go to bed though, coz I need to be up in 5 hours, and I'm actually tired. Pete is going with me, so I will add to his blog when I get back. You know, what the hell, I'll add before I go. I have one I can go ahead and put up there. The wind was ridiculous today. Lots of blown down trees, ripped up roofs, and downed powerlines. We had a power outtage for a while, and Em had brown outs all day and couldn't surf the web. Over 100,000 homes and businesses were out of power today. The Santa Anas are CRAZY, yo. Off da hook. I turned in an application for a minimum wage job today and realized that my take home for an entire week will be what I made in a single day at the job I just wrapped. That's harsh. I don't know how anyone in this country survives on minimum wage. It's shameful and shocking. No one in this country should EVER have to work for less than $10/hour. You just can't survive. You sure as hell can't survive in a town where the cheapest rent you can find is $800/month. If I had to pay rent, I'd be screwed. I can go back to waiting tables, but that's beyond depressing. I really can't tell you. I'd lose weight, though. That's a fairly big draw. We'll see what happens with the bookstore...I need a job. When I get back, I'm filing unemployment. $50/week is better than nothing. I'm nearly out of money. I had too many big bills to pay the last week. :( That's about it. It's been really, really boring. Just nitpicky stuff to do that kept me busy and cost me money, but was not in the least bit interesting to anyone but me. And only to me because I had to deal with it. Yay, weekend in Sacramento!!!
