Hmm… No word yet about my sponsored links. I’m going to have to write Natalie, and find out. Usually I get paid promptly on the 28th.

Maybe it means I’ll be getting more! 🙂

I quite like getting some bucks in my paypal account… it’s like an excuse to bid on something on ebay!

[update – 7:41]

Got my payment, I think they just forgot.

LL is here, and talking with the bro right now. I *really* hope that they can come to a good situation for everyone, though I think odds are poor.

I’ve discovered that Meredith out front is just about as opposite to me as can be. (in the six-year old terming of it, anyhow.)

I’ve a cat, She has a dog. I do database programming, she’s a graphic designer. I’m the first “first born male” in my family’s recent memory to not serve in the military, She was in the navy.

I’m looking forward to at least having a nice long lunch with ldy tomorrow, even though I’m fairly sure that a Friday night hangout session isn’t going to happen.

more trouble between bro and the landlord. Brother owes considerable back rent and the landlord is finally tired of it, but to make matters worse, the ll seems to think that bro owes about twice what the receipts indicate… And is demanding double rent this week or bro gets 3 days eviction notice.

That wasn’t what was initially agreed to… They had previously settled on 1.25x rent to catch up – plus the remainder when he gets his settlement. I don’t know for sure, but I’d lay odds that bro didn’t keep his side of the bargain first, judging from how he hides out whenever the ll comes by.

He woke me this morning at 7am to make phone calls. set up drug deals even though I told him expressly no. As soon as I heard what he was doing, I told him to hang up and get out.

My brother causes me undue stress. I try to do tough love withholding loaning him money, and instead of doing without, he hustles, and borrows $$ from other folks who get pissed at him for not paying back when he says he will.

He owes Francesco money, but goes out to primo’s subs for dinner, rather than eating in.

Dang… I don’t know what to do with that kid.
