D. and KC have just left to see The Two Towers. D and I saw it last night, of course, but KC hasn't seen it yet. KC offered to pay for me as well as for him, but I declined. It's an amazing movie, and if you haven't seen it yet (especially since I think "yet" will probably be at least a month or so from now, by the time I finally get this online) go NOW. What's wrong with you, anyway?

I passed on the movie because I decided it's just been far far too long since I had some quality antisocial time. I love him to death, I really do, but it's been too damn long since I had the house all to myself. He's always here, and usually doing something far too loud.

Woohoohoo! Antisocial time!!

If only I had working internet, life would be sweet. Would you believe that if you don't give the cable company money for a few months, they disconnect your service?? This is probably a good thing, overall. Maybe now, he'll finally GET A FUCKING JOB. Then, it will all be ok.

(I'm not even thinking about the part how life will still suck for a while, even after he gets job. So very far behind on everything.... Nope. Once he's bringing in any money at all, it will all be sunshine and roses, dammit. SUNSHINE AND ROSES, I TELL YOU!)

Damn, I miss the internet, though. It hasn't even been 24 hours, and I'm already jonesing hardcore. I will be strong, though. Life sans internet is even more sucky for him. Hee. It occurs to me, I could be all sneaky and figure out if we still have phone internet technology. They haven't shut off the phone. Yet.

Let me see. Now that Christmas is mostly paid for, I can keep with the not buying of food routine, and put the tips aside for bills. The car should probably have money thrown at it very soon. The phone is pretty essential. We will be following the Paul Plan for the electricity bill for a while, though. In Wisconsin, they can't shut off your electricity in the winter, no matter how much you owe them, if your heat is electric.

God, I hate that I know that. I hate that that's become part of my financial plan. I have carefully budgeted exactly how much of a Bad Citizen I can be, and I hate myself for it. There comes a point where Surviving just seems like more trouble than it's worth.
