I&#8217;m starting to get a little mad.  This may be quite stupid of me but I&#8217;m rather new to this freelance gig, but I didn&#8217;t have either of my two jobs sign a contract. If I end up with a third job, there will be a notarized, written contract so I don&#8217;t have to sit and stress about the fact that I have $600 bucks owed to me and no way to prove it. I also need to work out how to pay tax on it so I don&#8217;t get fucked by Uncle Sam (ooer missus!).<\/p>\n<p>Saw X-Men 2 last night and it rocked quite a lot. I remember back in high school, or maybe it was a little after, I had a friend who was a huge fan and I might have had a thing for this guy, so I began reading the comics. And I remember liking Wolverine and his sexy Adamantium claws, but I thought Storm was the coolest. Sadly, that phase was short-lived and I remember very little about the storylines. So I wanted to see X2 when it came out but I figured I&#8217;d better rent the first movie beforehand.  When I did, everything came back to me. &#8220;Oh right they are *mutants*, not superheroes!&#8221; &#8220;Hey I remember Jean Grey!&#8221; and so forth. I&#8217;m glad I saw that first because I wouldn&#8217;t have enjoyed part 2 nearly as much otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>So needless to say I really liked X2, as did my daughter. That was probably the highlight of my week. I did go to my little cousin&#8217;s 3rd bday party but you know, it&#8217;s a room full of people I don&#8217;t know and a little boy wired on candy. He&#8217;s an absolute doll, but frankly, seeing my uncle all cosied up to his new gf still isn&#8217;t sitting well with me and I couldn&#8217;t wait to get out of there. Then Wednesday I had a bitch of a headache so stayed home from work, felt 100% better Thursday, and Friday I felt like I had a cold coming on (you know, skin is sore to the touch, just standing up is an effort etc.) But I guess I&#8217;m not because I feel fine now.  So it&#8217;s been a bit of an odd week.<br \/>\n<br \/>So, signing off for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still no word from the bellydancer.
