6:55 pm	ADVENTURES...in missing the point! http://michaelbarrier.com/Home%20Page/WhatsNewArchivesMar09.htm#watchers I don't think Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons _approve_ of what their characters are doing.  Barrier and the critics miss the point of _Watchmen_ as much as grim-grit comics creators did.

4:56 pm	Update on Truck I got my truck back from repairs, and they fixed everything that was wrong with it--except for an engine leak and the transmission, which now goes only forward, even in reverse and neutral gear. :/ Still, I'm glad to have it back. (Comment on this)

8:47 pm	Well, my life is going great.... I was about to start my new temp job handing out samples of smoothies at stores in an expensive, faraway town when my truck started leaking huge amounts of antifreeze.  I took the truck to a shop, and they said the motor might be out, since it was also leaking transmission fluid and oil.  My mom, and my sister who is visiting with her family this weekend, picked me up, and we had the truck towed to Pep Boys.  I hope it's just a busted hose, but if it's more than that, my truck is kaput. I also had to cancel my temp assignment, since I have no other transportation at the moment.  I would not have made much anyway, since I would spend most of my money on gas.  I haven't had a full-time permanent job since 2005; I lost my last full-time job last year, and have only picked up short-term temp assignments since.  My unemployment ran out two weeks ago, but I should get the extension Congress approved recently. Things have been really rough for us these past few years.  My mom worries about her job all the time, and I worry about her.  We need to sell our house, but it needs a lot of fixing up.  I just pray and pray that things don't get any worse, but bad things keep happening to us just about every week.  I keep applying and applying for full-time jobs, but nobody ever calls me back.  I want to work in an office, but I have just one year and eight months of experience in data entry and word processing.  If I could just get a good-paying job that would last for a few years, I could pay off my debts and maybe get my own place, and help out Mamma.  I'm just sick and tired of all this bad stuff happening to me!

9:29 pm	One Insane Summer Well, this summer has been one of the craziest me and my family have ever had. It started with my Mom and I going to the local Renaissance fair, which was fun.  We got to see knights, horses, a human chess game, and Good Queen Bess. I got to try boiled peanuts for the first time in my life, but they ran out of turkey legs before I could get one. In July, my sister had a baby girl about one month early. We got the call at 2 a.m. and had to rush down to the hospital in Marietta. The baby's name is Anna and she and her family are doing fine. Earlier this month, my Mom went to visit my sister's family for 12 days, while I held down the fort. This was the time when Tennessee was hit with a record heat wave. I got an upset stomach and dehydration, and had a panic attack at work! I ended up shuttling around town in taxicabs trying to find a doctor; the one I finally found said I was just dehydrated. That's when I started drinking Gatorade! Also, I tried to see The Simpsons Movie, but was held back when my debit card was devoured by an ATM, and I couldn't get cash, which was all the movie theater took! My truck also conked out on me--something went wrong with the starter. It turned out the starter, starter relay, and ignition switch had all melted.  My boss was nice enough to take me to work for the next week or so. My truck is doing fine now. After Mom got back, the worst happened--my grandmother was in a very bad car accident. Her car was totaled, but she survived, with a broken arm and arm skin missing from when the airbag scraped against her. She spent the next week at Vanderbilt Hospital, and had to have two surgeries to repair the arm, and one skin graft. She came home last Saturday, and is being cared for by the family and a home health nurse. All of this has nearly worn out our whole family, and has left me very stressed out. I measured my blood pressure at a grocery store today, and it was about 160/90! I will work out tomorrow, and will get back to eating better, two things I haven't done in all the stress and heat.
