May sucks.

I had a long day today.

I had Melinda call me at 6 this morning to wake me up so that I didn’t sleep through our “mandatory meeting” that we had at work today. Waste of time. the Meeting that is. By the way, if you’ve ever called me early in the morning, you’ll know I’m completely unaware of anything, so things usually need to be spelled out for me… then drawn. Then explained after a hot shower and at least 10 minutes to stare blankly at my email til I’m actually conscious.

Afterward, Melinda and I went to coffee. Which was good. Then to Target, which was random. Then I said, “Let’s got to the Wild Animal Park” and she said “ok”. Well, the whole process was a little more involved than all of that, but basically, yeah.

We didn’t really do much at the park… we went on the monorail, then got our Super Nachos on, then went on the monorail again. We had fun though. At the end of the second monorail trip, she was pratically falling asleep, so we started to head home (the park was closing anyway). Right around then lack of sleep must have sunk in, cuz she started getting a little punchy, but it was pretty funny. *ahem*title*cough*.

Anyway, I came home and crashed like a Ford Pinto with no polyethylene shields. Then mollie woke my ass up and we went and saw “Saved!”

Basically, its a satyrical comedy about a religious girl, at a religious school, with religious friends who scorn her when she gets pregnant. The moral is that organized religion is not what religion should be all about, cuz its about… well… God.

Macaulay Culkin (yes, you read that right) practically steals the show with a scene where his character is in his wheelchair with a cup and a sign that says “Will Dance For Food”. The same character that hooks up with the only Jewish girl a the all Christian school. They have some pretty good lines, but his are great.

There was one good one between him, his sister’s friend and his sister.

Friend: You should be thankful that your sister wasn’t born in some heathen country like China where they would kill her at birth!

Sister: Yeah, where would you be then? (without her to help him)

Him: China?

All in all though, the flic was pretty good. The first 10 minutes or so kinda made me grimace, but it does get better. Worth seeing, as long as you don’t get offended easily.

So…

I’ve got this free song from the iTunes Music Store.

And I sit here, overwhelmed. I’ve got one free song. What the hell do I get?

lets hear it for damn near getting fired! but being saved by the same retarded corporate policy that was nearly your undoing!

in other news, I’ll be spending my thursday morning job hunting…

just like to throw out a big fuck you to SBC for disconnecting my internet connection everytime I fucking connect to my computer from outside

What the fuck is the point of having an IP address if I can’t use it to connect back to my computer from somewhere else?

All I was trying to do was run aim from home instead of school. thats what, a few extra kb of upload bandwidth?

Oh sweet g0d` no! Please, please, please don’t let BioWare be bought by Microsoft. As long as it took for Neverwinter Nights to make it to Mac and Linux, I more than appreciate it being available on both :o( And I know that if MS has their way, the words ‘multi’ and ‘platform’ will only be used in reference to Windows XP and the next XBox within the great halls of BioWare.

Le sigh. I was going to make an entry a la Chris’ hailing all of my fondest gaming memories, but for now the topic saddens me.

The reason for the continued lack of entries recently has been mostly due to time…. if I’m not working or doing school assignments I’m trying to relax or work on a quiet project.

That last is something I’m pretty interested in right now. I never knew CSS would be as easy to pick up as it is, or how easy it would be to do fairly fancy stuff with it.

I should mention my recent night of debauchery and fun I had at the PRESS BOX at the brand new PetCo Park. The game was terrible, but the seats were fantastic and the new park is really amazing itself. And all you could eat hot dogs, and sodas didn’t hurt. Or the near 4 foot plasma TV in the lounge for when some people decided it was too cold to watch the game outside (behind home plate no less) on the comfy rolly chairs. But if I did mention that, I might be drawn into a moment of reflection and forget I was writing this down.

Well, it is getting on toward when I should be heading to work, so I’ll leave this entry for now, though it is shorter than I would have liked.

ok, so you know you’re pathetic when you refer to your own username in the third person.

my unix teacher: “I don’t know if that’s something particular to vicki’s [her personal account] permissions or not… I’m not sure what she’s allowed to do.”

I suppose it could just be mild MPD…

oh. obligitory simpsons quote for today:

Todd: “Daddy, what do we taxes pay for?”

Ned: “Oh, why, everything! Policemen, trees, sunshine! And lets not forget the folks who just don’t feel like working, God bless ’em!”

I know, I know, I need to make a real post soon… but this was hilarious.

“Getting something off the internet once it’s been posted is like trying to clean the pee out of a swimming pool.”

They will see us waving from such great Heights,

‘come down now,’ they’ll say.

But everything looks perfect from far away,

‘come down now,’ but we’ll stay…
