Today was meh! Woke up for my "Monday" at work. What's worse is that I had to sit at the IRS office for another hour, just to hand the Asian lady my paper and hear her chastise me for owing money, with just cause, even though I couldn't understand a word she was saying and I didn't have the time.
The only real excitement was the fact that I bought my STAGECOACH FESTIVAL tickets!!! So excited for it. Also bought a camping spot. Anyone else that is going, hit me up! We got 300 square feet and we can cram as many people as possible into that spot! It's a good party, and anyone that knows me knows what an "epic" night I had last year! No repeats will be had this year, but good times will occur!
After work, I headed home to make dinner for my dad and me, which was nice. I attempted Dijon and Parmesean crusted chicken breast, with corn and creamed spinach. It wasn't bad. Pictures on facebook of my cooking. We also watch Valkyrie. How did I not know of this attempted assassination of Hitler? Must have been asleep.
After the movie, my dad left for work at The Happiest Place on Earth! and I watched American Idol and House! This was pretty much it today. Zzzz. Time for bed now. Until tomorrow, there's day 26 of 365!
(are there actually 365 days this year?)

1.20.10
Almost through three weeks already? I feel like I say this every week, yet I'm consistently amazed at how quickly time just flies by and I feel like I've done nothing.
Today was rather boring. Got to work, did my thing. I did have to go to the IRS office though, which was an hours worth of silence. I think the only exciting thing to happen was wondering if, while at the IRS office, I was going to get a parking ticket for an expired meter. THAT would have been hilarious to me. The feds giveth and the state taketh away hah! Fortunately, this whole rain thing probably kept the wonderful parking enforcement in their car and I escaped ticketless.
I did decide to go back to something I was doing last year. A $10 per day budget. This means I'm going to go back to cooking, and finding ways to do things cheaper. I made a lot of progress on debt last year when I was doing this, and as most people do, I reverted back to my old self. Change is so very difficult to make permanent. I feel like this will always be a battle. Trying to figure out new ways to stay on course and find what actually works for me, is such a tiring fight, but better than not fighting at all.
After work I headed home with the intention of driving up to Studio City for dinner if the traffic wasn't bad. Traffic wasn't deadly, nor was it great, but the plans were thrown out when an emergency popped up (not with me). So I headed home and ate dinner with my roommate. Tried Foggia Italian Deli for the first time. Holy crap those sandwiches are huge. It was great. I need to go back there and buy some nice meat and cheese!
After dinner, I enjoyed some American Idol (funny picture attached), a couple other tv shows and now I'm heading to bed. Until tomorrow, there's day 20 of 365.

1.16.10
Again, this is being posted on 1.19. Don't judge.
I woke up about thirty minutes early today to be at the wonderful USPS to pick up a certified letter from the one place EVERYONE hopes to NEVER receive a letter from; the IRS. Hi Stress. Welcome. Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I won't get into the particulars, but I owe some money, and there are some issues, and I'm working on sorting them out. I hate taxes. Seriously. I know most of us do, but yeah, hate them.
So now that I was in a great mood to start the day, it was off to work! Being that I organized everything so well yesterday, I didn't have a whole lot to do today, which allowed me a little free time to tune into the NFL playoff game now and then. Work ended up flying by and I was feeling better, both physically and mentally.
On my way home, I stopped by a party store to see if they had an items that I could use as part of a costume for an Olympic themed birthday party I was going to in the evening. I was going to represent Mexico. I was pretty excited for this party because it was for a friend of mine who I don't see that often and he's absolutely hilarious, and for the theme of the party.
After getting ready, I headed up to Brentwood. Upon my arrival, I quickly noticed that there was only one single guy in the room; me. Five couples and Kylito. This was strange because pretty much all of my life I'm the one who always had a girlfriend, and now everything was reversed. Don't quite know how I feel about this. Guess I'd just have to kick some juego olympicos ass alone.
Here is a link to some of the pictures from the "GAMES." More specifically, my costume.
I had a great time with some great people here. But how could I not with a house full of USC alumni? I left the party at around 1:30am, taking 2nd place overall. I got home around 2am and went straight to bed, moustache and all. Day 16 of 365, done!
