Well…tomorrow is my birthday. The big four-oh. I’m not particularly happy about it. I don’t want to leave my thirties, kinda like how I didn’t want to leave my twenties. I survived turning thirty but tomorrow, I’ll be old enough to crumble to dust and blow away in the wind 😭 The only upside is that I get to eat at Red Lobster. It’s also lobster fest, so they’ll have that insanely delicious lobster bisque. I have never tasted better bisque. I’m gonna get a big crab plate. They make you fight for your food but it’s actually kind of fun to crack em open and pull that beautiful piece of crab out in one piece. It’s like a reward, super satisfying. 🦀

I went out with Karen yesterday and Kellie today. Had fun both times. Thrift stores of course. I always pillage the movie section of all the good stuff. I found Hotel Rwanda yesterday, which I’ve wanted to see for a while. I don’t know the deeper details of the Rwandan Genocide, I know the basic stuff but I want to know more about it. I have so many fucking DVDs I don’t know where to put them. I need that damn shelf yesterday!! I’m am absolutely addicted to buying second hand movies. Sometimes I’ll buy stuff new on Amazon but mostly used. I have a whole freaking Blockbuster in my living room. It’s to the point of ridiculousness 😆

I got a dvd set of the worst and best of American Idol seasons 1-4. I freaking love the bad ones. I don’t remember what season had the girl who REALLY thought she could sing, but was pretty terrible and Simon did not hesitate to tell her this. She then went psycho on the judges, it was actually a bit disturbing. This woman has definitely stalked people before. She had fuckin’ crazy eyes. Me and my parents loved American Idol circa 2006-2007, we got all excited when it came on and had our favourites. Fantasia Barrino (she’s from NC), Bo Bice, Chris Daughtry and some others. I forgot who was on what season lol. I don’t watch it anymore, I feel it had its best times already.

Kellie told me about a guy who breeds golden retrievers. I would rather rescue, but there are never retrievers in shelters, because they get picked first. I am sure of what breed I want. She said it’s absolutely NOT a “puppy mill”. That makes me feel better about it. I adopted from a puppy mill once before I knew they’re not a good thing, for both the mothers and the puppies. I’m going to talk to mom about it, I hope she’ll help me out a little until the pup grows a bit. I would rather have a puppy because unfortunately the adult dogs get nervous or something, and have diarrhea all over the house. I have a crate and everything already. I just wonder if there’s a way to stop it from pooing on the floor. Probably not…but yep, I’m definitely getting a dog when I can. I hope that stupid 20lb weight limit isn’t actually enforced because that’s fucking stupid. I see why they might object to say, a Great Dane or something, but a golden retriever? They’re not that big. Just a normal, average sized dog. I’m going to inquire about the weight limit, maybe tomorrow. All pets have to be emotional support animals and have to be approved by some kind of council. Or something. I don’t know. I hope they won’t be assholes about it…

I found a big book about Monty Python at Goodwill. What a coincidence, since I just got the entire tv series!  I snatched it up, of course.

I have an inspection coming up on the 28th, and my house is a mess 😓 good news is I am on the list for new carpet! There are places where Oscar had a fit and tore it up, and a couple places I spilled something that just will not come off. I got lucky with the section 8 inspection, they didn’t pick my apartment to inspect this year. They do random ones. Next time, I hope I get the guy that’s scared of cats, because that was fucking hilarious and had me giggling all day. Oscar is really friendly and wants to sniff new people and the guy was like “Get back! Get away!” in a panicked voice, and Basically backed himself into a corner. I picked Oscar up and away from the guy, but he was in a real hurry to get out of here. 🤭 Never seen anything like it. Did you know Hitler was afraid of cats? It’s called ailurophobia. A lot of men in some Asian countries have a fear of cats. I learned that when I read that ailurophobia is not uncommon among Japanese men. How is that possible, Japan has some of the cutest cats!
