your joy is my low

LOL, didn't Fate of the Jedi: Outcast come out the other day? Whoops.

So the Curriculum Review -- we're still working on it, it's going well, but apparently I'm going to be at one of our other offices for three days a week so now I have to be focused on that. Also, Valerie's shower went really well (I think) and she liked it (I think) -- YES, zoopiglet? I THINK?

This means I am kind of not as tense as before, which, YAY! But of course there are other things for me to have on my mind like being at the other office and stuff now. BUT I AM BETTER. AND I THINK I'M BACK. I THINK.

ANYWAYS, on king_dressing we have 5 out of 100 of the Walkers (Ray, Art, Peter, Hank & Stebbins!), which really kind of makes me giddy. Especially since see_aphy_be and I are only playing one each (for once, lol).

MORE AWESOMENESS LATER. XD

Okay, so today has been really odd. First, all the 30gb (and 80gb too, I think) Zunes around the world have frozen on the loading screen. I am not in an absolute shitfit over this because my Zune has never given me problems before in the two years I have had it and I have my music on cds and the computer. I am eyerolling at all the Overdramatic Tools who are slitting wrists over it and threatening to sue -- and also eyerolling over all the Apple Fanboys like, "WELL THAT'S WHY I HAVE AN IPOD HUR HUR." I won't even get started on those people -- nerdy/know-it-all brand whores (I don't care what mp3/computer/console/etc. you back) are even worse than regular brand whores. I know because I dated one. Plus, ALL ELECTRONICS have problems sooner or later -- NOTHING is PERFECT. Effing MP3 players and computers should not be things people BITCH AT EACH OTHER OVER. SERIOUSLY.

(This is my favorite exchange I saw on the Zune boards today.

Poster 1: yeah theres definately something very very wrong with the zune... i wish i did my research befor buying this useless fking product.
Poster 2: So your research would have told you that an undetermined coding issue was going to cause a problem at some future date?

Maybe you should also do your research on correct spelling.

and also: "People who are bitching: Bugs happen. Be happy you have electricity, clean water, indoor plumbing, and access to food. Some people don't. MP3 players are not a basic human right, they are a LUXURY."

and this one too: "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MY ZUNE IS TEH BROKEN. HACKERZ BROKE MY ZUNE CLOCK.. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW!! Oh.. i'll turn on the radio or play a CD (remember those?)"

I love the internet. XD)


Then at work today, the weather/our building decided to play with us. It was sunny outside and really windy. Then a few clouds came (but you could still see it was sunny). There was a giant flash of lightning and a huge rumble of thunder. It snowed for about 45 seconds and then our power went out, came back on and went out again. Then when the power returned it started snowing really heavy for about a minute. THEN THE SUN CAME BACK OUT COMPLETELY. D:

WTF IS GOING ON TODAY? IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT AND I FEEL FINE?


(LOLOLOL PERSONA 4 GAMEFAQS BOARD:

Poster 1: Chie just Galactic Punted a Turret Enemy.
Poster 2: Which makes you wonder if Yosuke suffered any permanent damage from when Chie kicked him in the junk.)

"What's in there?" The advisor nodded to the oblong durasteel unit that floated beside Zekk, the man's gloved hands tucked under his arms.

Oh, this one was really asking for it.

"It's a dead body," Zekk stated flatly and with a smile, scribbling his signature on the datapad and shoving it back into the chest of the social secretary.



You know I couldn't leave him out. And I love writing Zekk. Especially since he always turns out to be kind of a bitch when I write him. D:

My stomach is still in some sort of pain. But I must go to work tomorrow, like I did today. Tomorrow is the company-wide holiday shindig and they serve alcohol at it. It's fun to watch coworkers drink. At work. Heeehehe.

And this song makes me want to dance. LET'S GO DANCING EVERYONE.

By that I mean, "it's time for me to sleep zzzzzzzzz"

So Christmas was all kinds of awesome. The obligatory list of presents, which I seprated by people to make it easier for me to remember everything. O_O And of course, some of the stuff is like: WTF IS SHE TALKING ABOUT? So I linked to some of them for viewing pleasures -- and because I was so effing bored at work today. And I know I forgot some stuff. O_O THERE IS NO ONE AT WORK.

And omg, Ronnie got me this awesome shirt (I <3 the clasps) that I can wear to work. And Erin, who works at Build-A-Bear, if you did not know this already (XD), made Jason and I dolls from there of Jacen and Tenel Ka. XDDDD She made the outfits out of felt and cut TK's arm off and I almost died. They are incredible. I will post pictures at some point. <33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

So today at work, there was pretty much no one present. James and I ended up talking about video games for like an hour and a half and he was telling me about the Pitfall Harry fanclub and how he randomly found a Wii. And then him and Duane and I looked at Engrish.com and cackled. yay work. XD

So today I go into work and we're all sitting around minding our own business as usual and working and around 12 the power just decides to go off in our building. Come to find out a fuse blew on the corner up the street leaving almost all of both streets without power. We work from the computers like they are our oxygen, so we were all milling around like confused little sheep (like in the episode of Arrested Development where the Bluth employees go "to lunch" and are herded around, that's us) -- and blabbing and so on. And then we are told we will be sent files at home to work on, since Headquarters had power. I get home after the boring car ride and open my mail to find out the power is back on! But also an email that says we can still work from home today. Heeee~

Now I have my work Outlook open and I sit here and work today from home (i hearts job). XD

Best Buy better watch itself in the next month. Because if I go there one of these weeks and what I'm looking for is not there, I WILL BE A SAD, SAD LITTLE THING.

August 22nd: Silent Hill (dvd)
August 29th: Arrested Development - Season 3 (dvds)
September 5th: Supernatural - Season 1 (dvds -- ksfjdaksjdfkjsd gag reel)
September 12th: The Office - Season 2 (dvds)

And then October 3rd = Everybody Hates Chris - Season 1 (dvds).

Mmmmm, stuff.

My super special tracking number states that the book hit Springfield and is out for delivery.

So if I don't mysteriously vanish or the UPS man doesn't steal my book or something (my luck, something will happen)...

Then I'm gonna get served by a certain Skywalker brat tonight and play with a certain baby -- and some certain bugs. And my granny. Oh and eat Jacen Solo's brains too (MMM, TASTES LIKE NERF). Can't forget about that. <3 (So screw the store that gave me TRAITOR LATE, THIS IS PAYBACK BORDER'S, YOU WHORE.)

Yay for my lunch break. We've been in a meeting all day -- but we're going back into the conference room for the rest of it after lunch. My ass is asleep, thx.

Today is going by so slow. sooooooosllooowwwkopqjoif jadskljf

And look, I'm getting incoherent. But I think there's a Bawls in the work fridge that I brought a few days ago. Mmmm... meeting fuel. BOOHA~
