I’ve been listening to Sopor Aeternus a lot lately. I had forgotten about the cd until I opened up one of the cd cases I don’t open often and saw it. Most people have probably never heard of Sopor Aeternus. It’s like the ultimate goth music. It speaks to me like nothing else in this entire world. Although I don’t agree with everything or feel the same way spiritually it still speaks to me. The music was written by someone in deep depression. It’s beautiful and deeply moving. Some of it is in English, some is in German. Anyone into totally freaky, gothic music can check it out at http://www.soporaeternus.de There are some MP3’s available for listening to on the site. Oh yeah, and if you run a pop-up blocker on your computer you have to disable it for the site to work. It uses javascript and goes full-screen, popup blockers keep it from working.

Okay, now that I’ve probably scared everyone with that site. Let’s talk about Sophie. She has been pissing me off today! She’s playing rough with her babies and making them cry really loud. It’s upsetting to me, I don’t see any need for her to bite them hard like that. I wish she’d just quit. We might have found another home for one of the little kittens missing a tail. Our neighbor two doors down is obsessed with manx cats. She used to show manx’s she said. We ended up going to her house last night, she needed to use our digital camera. She has 3 cats I think, 2 adults and an 8 week old kitten. They’re cute. Hubby sent pictures to her last night so hopefully she’ll want a baby, her husband seemed to want one too. So it looks like we might only need 3 more homes. 🙂

Work pissed me off today too, I didn’t go in but I worked from home. I swear these people I work with are worthless. I had gotten a request from someone to create a spreadsheet from a cd containing AMBest reports. Thing is, I didn’t create the first one and I can’t tell from looking at it what it is exactly. So I ask her what it is, what’s the search criteria for this thing? And she doesn’t know!!! She’s like it’s a prospectus we use for companies. Uh, right, okay, well there’s only about 800 out of a few thousand companies pulled from the disk out into this spreadsheet so I need to know what the fuck information she’s looking for so I know what to pull. Ugh. She had to go ask someone else and that person didn’t know either. What I want to know is how the hell do you use a spreadsheet you don’t even know what is?

Anyway, I need to go. My carpal tunnel syndrome has been acting up. My left hand has been going numb on and off. It’s getting that way again so I should go find something else to do.
