Sep. 5th, 2013 10:07 pmEvery single time I mow the lawn and see the little critters (crickets and such) fleeing from the mower, I think immediately of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Every. Time. I keep having scenes play in my head too, when that happens. Mostly just the scene where he tells his wife and she passes out for some reason, but still. Man, I really want to watch that now. Pity all the movie stores don't exist anymore.
I had a job interview today, for a place in Redding. Needless to say it was a phone interview. I'm told I'll find out within the next two weeks whether I'll get a more technical interview, so here's hoping. I'm honestly not sure how I did; I always feel like a fool on the phone, especially considering how much I talk with my hands. But it's done and now I just have to wait.
In the meantime, I'm not really sure what to do with myself. I'm bored, with very little to do. I end up sleeping a lot. For a while I slept a lot due to my medication, but that's mostly worn off now, so all my sleeping has to do with boredom, and I really don't want to be doing that. I don't feel like I have enough outlets for my energy. A person can only do one or two things so many times before they become frustrating. I've tried drawing more in order to fill up the time, and I've certainly done more than usual, but you can only force creativity so much in any given direction before it craps out on you. I end up drawing the same cartoon face over and over without even really improving upon it. I also seem to have forgotten how to properly proportion people when I try to draw them, so that's been less than impressive.
I feel somewhat restrained as to what I can do on my folks' laptop too. Not for any particular reason, but it's just not the same as having something of one's own. I keep wanting to write something, but feel constrained by the fact that it's not my computer, with no good reason why I shouldn't. Mental blocks are no respecters of logic, sad to say.
In peppier news, my family is about to get a new kitten within the next week or so: a half-white, half-orange male (we think). We keep thinking up names for the little guy, though nothing has stuck thus far. I like Dapper or Sir Kittington, but there's not been much enthusiasm for those.
