After quite a prolonged absence...

No promises from me. With 1421 deviations... 456 journals... well, procrastination rears its ugly head. No big surprise, there.

It's been a rough hiatus, with nothing productive to show for it. No writing, no art (the scanner died months back)...

I got laid-off from the Hard Rock Sunday... my fiancee followed suit, being laid-off Monday. No hours to give, they said. To be honest, I just sorta time-bombed outta there. It was gonna happen. I knew it; it still sucks. No plans yet, 'cept maybe a temp job making beds for cash- waiting to hear about that, and I'll welcome a break from kitchen work.

Completely Fricking broke, no lie... till next friday.. vacation pay, hopefully, enough to pay the bills.

The time-bombing... sounds fun, doesn't it? Not. A *very* low threshold for stupidity (and ignorance) does not a very patient prep cook make... especially in the midst of hierarchy upheaval. I was tired of it all, and therefore not-so-good at my job anymore. Long story short, it was all business, but that doesn't put food on the table after long months of neglected food shopping (no more free meals at work!).

I guess the other fun thing I can mention is my mother's battle against cancer. Last october the docs gave her 6-8 months. This past september, they said 3-6. Finally developing the relationship i'd always wanted with my mother, my father too! and there ya have it, boom. Nothing like an incurable illness to bring a family together, huh?

So there ya have it. No commitment, no excuses.

Gonna go wander around, i suppose.
