Tricare:

Ok, not to complain about my medical insurance or anything because military medical insurance (Tricare) is really great (if you can put up with doctors that would diagnose a severed foot as a sinus infection while insulting you at the same time and then give you the wrong prescription anyways... well, that's my experience so far anyways) and I know lots of people would kill to have the coverage I have, so don't take this as me being ungrateful,

HOWEVER

Tricare insurance would cover a sex change operation, if signs of "gender confusion" are present from birth, but they won't cover my contact lenses or glasses (like all the other coverage I've had) which I need to see and not kill people while driving.

Really, Tricare? Really? You'd give me a penis, but not glasses?

I mean, come on. I'll bet a penis is WAY more expensive then a pair of contacts. What gives?

So much boredom...

but hopefully I'll be getting a job this week. I submitted my resume to the employment office on base and they are going to pass it on to all the jobs on base I've been looking at. I'm really hoping to get a job at the gym because that would probably follow Jon's schedule the closest and I'd just check i.d.s and do laundry and clean, sounds pretty no brainer to me.

In the mean time, I've been playing a lot of the Sims 2, which makes me feels nostalgic and lazy. And working on the couch. We have this really ugly thrift store couch that got trashed in the move (new military wives: make sure you don't like any of your stuff, because if your moving experience is anything like my first one was, it will get destroyed. R.I.P. piano) but it's so comfortable, I just can't bear to get rid of it. So I'm attempting to reupholster it. So far so good, and maybe tomorrow I will finish. Buuuut probably not. The funny thing about being bored is that even if you find something productive to do, you usually don't.

Question: do you think it's unethical/cruel to dye an animal (considering that you would use non toxic completely safe dye mixed into their shampoo so it literally wouldn't make a difference to them either way since they needed a bath anyways?)

Just wondering for no particular reason, *cough cough*.

Good T.V.!

This Christmas I bought my husband Jon a 50" plasma screen because apparently moving to the desert made me completely lose my mind. I pretended to hate it to tease Jon but really it's pretty badass and makes some shows pretty epic. But then it started stealing things for me...

So Jon was messing around with it trying to get rid of the scrambled channels (my apartment comes with basic expanded cable included for free) and somehow instead of deleting them it unscrambled pretty much every channel known to man. So now we have like three trillion channels all for wonderful price of free. I love free things.

Now if I could just get it to steal me a new car... that's what I really need.

The army stole my husband and I can't get a car (and thus a job, since the buses around here are pretty lacking) without him. Between my lack of car and the army suddenly being extra stupid I've only seen him one day this week. It sucks to be so close to someone and not able to see them.

I'm really bored but I can't sleep and it's too dark in here to work on the couch or anything productive because two of the main bulbs are out and it's too late to walk to a store to get lightbulbs because the stores are probably closed and even if they weren't this is just around the time when my neighbors get drunk and fight in the parking lot and all the really strange drug addicts crawl out of the gutters (as opposed to the less strange ones that just mumble weird things at me during the day). Yay for living in the "bad" part of town.

Do you ever wonder if the wine you drink has had someone's feet in it? Do they even do that anymore? They do on the show I'm watching right now. I wish I had a glass of wine right now, a glass of wine is such a nice way to unwind before you go to sleep.

I like soaking a lot of foods in water, especially zesta crackers and popcorn. Does anyone else do that? Zesta crackers are better then Saltines.

I really miss my wisdom teeth earrings. Luckily Jon's getting his pulled soon and he said I can make new earrings out of his. It's never soon enough though, he has to wait for the next duty station because they think he needs a bunch of recovery days. Psh, I got mine pulled without pain killers, fully concious (well, until I passed out at least) on a Friday and was back to work on Sunday (that job had a really hard time listening to doctor's notes), and these are big tough army guys. If I can do it so can they.

Does Tom Cruise scare the crap out of anyone else? Tom Cruise has always scared the crap out of me. Way before the couch jumping and all that Scientology stuff I knew he was completely insane. Has anyone else seen the movie Interview With The Vampire? I love that movie, it's the only movie he's in that I will watch, and only because I think he looks more like himself as Lestat then he does as the Tom Cruise we see in other movies and pictures. Like, that's what he's really supposed to look like, and at the end of the day, when all of the make up comes off underneath is just a short crazy blood sucking lunatic.

I hate that the t.v. guide channel has t.v. shows on the top half of the screen now. No matter how stupid they are, it's very unfair to us a.d.d. people. It takes me like a half hour to finally catch the channel I'm looking for, and then the shows half over.

Ugh, I need to go to bed. And get a life. But not neccessarily in that order.

New Blog

To save fellow facebookers from my frequent rants, I made a blog. Obviously. Umm... so anyways, I like to write a lot, but until I think of some killer book idea that will make independently wealthy I'm just going to blog about my life to stay in practice... it seems to be the thing to do these days. But luckily I have a really strange life, so at least there's something to write about. Which I will do, later.
