It's not exactly a soap opera but it is entertaining. The main male character's name is Khun Wat [I think Khan is an honorific because they use it for lots of people] and he's like Don Corleone from 'The Godfather' trying to get his business interests legitimate.
He's not bad looking but BOY! His two bodyguards are cute! One kinda reminds me of Orlando Bloom and the other one doesn't remind me of anyone but he's cute too, cuter than the Orlando one.
The main female character's name is Khun Pai [sometimes they call her P'Pai --I think that may be kind of like kun or chan in japanese] She's a tomboy who's running a thai dessert shop and I get the feeling that the two main characters are supposed to end up together even though Khun Wat is engaged to be married to Khun Pan, who's father is a big business man who's having some Mafia trouble. I don't like her very much because she's very jealous and in my opinion stupid.
I started watching from episode 3 but I like it. I've tried looking for it on Netflix but it's not there.
Here's a little bit from episode 6
Hope you like.
I think the bodyguard in this segment is absolutely adorable!! Oh I'm crushing... *^_^*
I'm on page 167 of 'Blood Noir' and no one has had sex yet!!
Cool. Maybe this will turn out to be like 'Obsidian Butterfly'. That would be cool
I went in to work both yesterday and today to help with the big fax screw up, but I had to leave early today because for some reason, my computer stopped acknowledging my password. Which means tomorrow is going to be totally fucked up. Just what I need, another crap-tastic week.
I hope my next vacation gets here soon.
Heather, took this video at KC Ren Faire. Wish you had been there.

A year ago I was living at home and hating every minute of it. My back hurt from sleeping on the hide a bed and I never had any privacy and I was dreading the approach of another cold, drafty winter. Now...I have an apartment of my very own complete with beautiful comfy bed, couch, arm chair, dining room table and it's so much warmer than Mom's. It's quiet, and while sometimes I get lonely, Heather comes over sometimes so it's not so terrible.
A year ago I was only a temp at First Data. I had no real future, I had no idea how long my assignment would last or where I was going after it was done. I was financially very unstable because I've had lulls from 3 days to almost 3 months in between jobs. Now...I am a full time employee at First Data and I LOVE it there. I have every intentions of not going anywhere for years and years [God willing *crosses fingers*] I make more money than I ever have before and I can work overtime which I don't mind. Saturdays, Cliff games in the mornings and works late at Colliseum at night so I spend much of the day by myself.
I'm very happy. Having a good job does lead to a good life.
I'm happy at work so I don't come home and take my anger/pain/frustration out on anyone.
I make enough money to pay rent and utilities so I can finally feel like an adult [something I didn't feel when living at mom's even though I was paying $300 to sleep on her couch with my husband]. Living at mom's also made it impossible to cuddle with my husband because of lack of privacy.
I can finally start putting aside money in savings so I can be more secure about the future. I'm setting up an emergency savings account [I've already got over $1000 in it!] and then after that I'm going to start an IRA and get some CD's and start saving for a house! It will take time I know but I'm sure it will happen one day.
Thank you God. Without You none of this would have happened...it is by Your Grace alone. I have no religion beyond generic christian, I don't go to church, I don't know the bible inside and out...but I pray and that has helped comfort me through some very tough times and I feel that God has answered my prayers.
I wake up sometimes in the morning and can't help whispering "Thank you God."
- Mood:
thankful - Music:Martina McBride - 'Anyway'
You know I've been tucking money aside so I can get a computer of my own, but I just couldn't resist. Cliff and I have a computer now...but I didn't have a camera and I really regretted that when we went to Gen Con. Indianapolis is a beautiful city and I would have LOVED to have had a camera then.
I think I may have found a dream to follow...much like you have your writing and Shirley has her art. I have always liked beautiful buildings so why couldn't I become a architectural photographer? Not professional or anything...but still. Wow.
I just don't know how to use it. The next time you come over could you help me figure out how to use it....well not how to take pictures, I can pretty much figure that out, but with the downloading images to the computer [or uploading or loading whatever].
I am sooo stoked! *^_^*
- Mood: chipper
I've only done that one time before and I must say I need to be careful or I could become addicted.
So cool.
I got a small jade pendant.
Go me!
Sano is still shitting outside of the litter box and every time I see one of his messes I want to smash his skull in. When I get the money [and it'll have to be me...Cliff won't be able to help] I'm going to take him to the vet and I hope to god there is something wrong with him or I will be seriously pissed off. I can accept it if he's sick not if he's being nasty.
I'm a little disappointed with the rats. Brain just sits there in the cage and when I get him out of the cage he rushes off to sit by himself on the headboard. I think he may be depressed and I think he and Torpedo have been fighting. Torpedo's not very cuddly either. All he wants to do is stuff his face. Maybe I just need to give them more time. Thank god for shinji or none of our animals would show me any affection at all. Sano doesn't seem to like me much...Kind of makes me feel rejected. I can get that out in the world, I don't want to feel it when I'm in my own home.

cold
It's been rather lonely because Heather can't come over as often as she used to do and neither of us likes to talk on the phone [not that we could do that, even if we wanted to, because she works so much].
I'm not promising that I'll become a more prolific journal writer, because I did not write much when I HAD a computer but at least I can do it if I want to. Now if only we had working speakers. Right now I can only hear music if I use headphones and the ones we have aren't very good...I can only hear out of one side.
Hello Heather!! I've missed you.
Your pictures are awesome! I'm totally jealous. Your stories are awesome! Keep writing 'The Hunted' pleasepleaseplease and I'm sorry about your losing Silky. She may have been Shirley's in name but I paid for her and took care of her with your help. I'm glad I left her at home when we moved so you could continue to care for her. You loved her most of all and it showed!
I'm going to have Cliff make a copy of our house key so you can come over whenever you want.
I first heard of Smart Cars in late August of this year. Cliff got me a brochure and they were sooo cute!! Then I saw one in real life. I want one! Hell, I'd even learn to drive to be able to drive this. I came across the above site mentioning that they are now testing the Smart ED [electric drive]. Cool!!

3 of Pentacles
I went online to check my bank account this morning and was shocked to see I was -$80 in my account! Damn. I'd forgotten that Cox and OPPD were coming out. So I transfered rent money over. I wanted to kick myself but rent is the only way to keep huge fees from being accumulated. I'll have to transfer some money from my ING account which hurts because that's my 'Get out of Hy-Vee money. [sigh] I knew July was going to be a bad month financially because I got 2 of Pentacles <R> in my yearly reading. We haven't even bought any groceries yet. Damn it! I don't have anything I can sell and Cliff has no money except what I gave him.l I'm screwed. Well, I guess this'll have to be a lesson to me. I hope I can learn from this. On the bright side -- I actually woke up early this morning. I even haed time to play some Civilization II. I should have done some cleaning I guess. Maybe tomorrow.

what card will most accurately represent the events of my day
 |
| The One Card spread is the most concise of all spreads, intended to provide a quick take on a situation, or to reduce it to a single point of meditation. The Aquatic Tarot is a modern watercolor interpretation of the classic Rider Waite symbolism. It is rapidly becoming one of the most popular decks, due to both its spectacular beauty and its traditional imagery. | |
 | The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Eight of Cups (Indolence): Losing interest in a matter deeply important to you. Being forced to abandon something in which you had invested great love and devotion. Seeking earthly, physical pleasures, to the exclusion of spiritual growth and emotional fulfillment. Emotional withdrawal and lethargy. |
What are the chances that I will get and enjoy the job at Bank of the West

 |  |  |  |
 |  |
| The Celtic Cross spread is one of the most popular Tarot spreads, providing varied insight into many aspects of a complex situation and your role in it. The Aquatic Tarot is a modern watercolor interpretation of the classic Rider Waite symbolism. It is rapidly becoming one of the most popular decks, due to both its spectacular beauty and its traditional imagery. | |
 | The card not shown but at the center of the cross, represents the atmosphere surrounding the central issue. Ace of Swords: The seed of victory - perhaps as yet unseen. A challenge to be met and solved through the invocation of force. An opportunity to bring reason and intelligence to bear in the pursuit of justice and truth. An excessive power that must not be abused. May suggest new ideas or information that can reveal a solution to the problem at hand. This could be the interview itself...my chance for victory [a permanent job at Bank of the West] |
 | The card visible at the center of the cross represents the obstacle that stands in your way - it may even be something that sounds good but is not actually to your benefit. Queen of Swords: The essence of air behaving as water, such as a refreshing mist: A person gifted with both keen logic and natural intuition, giving them uncanny powers of perception and insight. One who easily sees past deception and confusion to the heart of a matter, and understands both sides of any argument. The embodiment of calm, forthrightness, and wit, in the face of even the most trying circumstances. I often see myself as the Queen of Swords. It could be me standing in the way, I'm mentally opposed to the job if it's anything like telemarketing...I HATE talking on the phone. Or it could be the interviewer tomorrow who has the power to say 'No'. |
 | The card at the top of the cross represents your goal, or the best you can achieve without a dramatic change of priorities. King of Cups, when reversed: The dark essence of water behaving as air, such as rain clouds in a gray sky: A pillar of maturity and patience, hiding a deep insecurity and an indecisive nature. One who secretly lusts for power, but lacks the courage, intellect, or work ethic necessary to take it. A charming seducer who appears innocent and understanding, but is in fact selfish and unfaithful. I have the work ethic, I just don't know if this is the job for me. I did telemarketing and I hated it. I'm afraid of getting the job only to hate it and quit within a year or less...I guess that means I lack the courage. |
 | The card at the bottom of the cross represents the foundation on which the situation is based. Two of Swords (Peace): Contradictory characteristics brought together as a means of resolving a conflict. Refusing to be ruled by negative emotions. Strife brought to a close through clarity of mind and restraint of force. Turning a blind eye to the minor infractions of others. The reason I'm asking I guess...is I'm weighing my options. I want a job I'll love and be willing to stay at for years to come versus the job being offered which pays good money for doing something I may dislike intensely. |
 | The card at the left of the cross represents a passing influence or something to be released. Six of Swords (Science): Trusting in intelligence and intuition and setting off into the unknown. Leaving an untenable situation and charting a new course. Passage from difficulty and progress towards a solution. The road to recovery. Travel and exploration. I need a job, I need money... maybe I need to leave behind my dream of a good job and take whatever is handed to me. Bite the bullet for the greater good. But the last two jobs I took with that mentality ended badly and were destructive to my health [mentally and physically] |
 | The card at the right of the cross represents an approaching influence or something to be embraced. Queen of Pentacles, when reversed: The dark essence of earth behaving as water, such as ice: A cold but generous host, driven by an overwhelming need for to accumulate and maintain opulence. A person so preoccupied with wealth and security that they can never stop to enjoy either. One who reflects the weaknesses of others, breeding suspicion and mistrust. Is this what I must strive for? The cold comfort of $13 at a job I dislike just so I can make ends meet? |
 | The card at the base of the staff represents your role or attitude. Three of Cups (Abundance): A time of merriment and reflection spent in the company of friends and loved ones. The conclusion of a matter in plenty and perfection. The strength of a diverse community being brought together. May suggest a celebration, festival, anniversary, wedding, baby shower, or other joyous gathering. I don't feel joyous. I'm glad of a possible interview but I dread it too...I've shed more tears of anger/resentment/frustration than of joy over this |
 | The card second from the bottom of the staff represents your environment and the people you are interacting with. The Empress, when reversed: Stifling matriarchal influence. Unhappiness, selfishness, poverty and disruption of the home or family. Indecision, paranoia, and jealous rage. Sterility. I AM poor and unhappy and I can see how people would consider my attitude about the job as selfish and indecisive. |
 | The card second from the top of the staff represents your hopes, fears, or an unexpected element that will come into play. Three of Swords (Sorrow), when reversed: Unsettling news that helps you to distance yourself from a destructive relationship. Painfully honest communication that needs to take place. Not letting yourself be dragged by your emotions into a negative situation. A trust or confidence betrayed in an attempt to help someone in need. The revelation of a painful truth. I guess this is a 'Fear' card because I dont' 'Hope' for this...do I? If this job is a negative situation than I very well may be dragged into by feelings of guilt and hopelessness. |
 | The card at the top of the staff represents the ultimate outcome should you continue on this course. The Sun: A time of contentment and freedom from restraints. Creative inspiration. Achievement, success, and warmth. Light and love in personal or business matters. Happiness and faithfulness in a relationship. Does this mean that I'll get that job and that I'll like it? or that I won't get the job and will be happy about it? or what?? |
