Bored bored bored. Plus, I think I’ve paper-cut my right hand. Whine whine whine.
Eeeewwwww! I just happened to look over at a co-worker’s lava lamp (lava lamps are really big around here, unlike my Homer Simpson, who is average-sized) and since it hasn’t warmed up yet, the laval looks like a cross between a lump of crap and some bizarre form of caterpillar.
I was wandering around out there in the blogs (heaven forbid I do work at work) and came across Joopy’s site, from which I snagged the idea of including the current song playing in the posts. Up here at work, I have a huge mp3 playlist, so the music themes change constantly. Thanks, Joopy!
Ugh. I’ve not had near enough caffeine to cope with BurfDog just yet. Perhaps I’ll go outside for a long, loooong walk. Perhaps I’ll offer to take BurfDog with me. “I don’t know what happened – I looked away for a second and he was GONE!”
My schemes are usually a little more machiavellian, but as I said, I haven’t had much caffeine this morning. Perhaps my evil-ness (evility?) will return by the afternoon.
I’m addicted to stress, that’s the way that I get things done
If I’m not under pressure then I sleep too long and I hang around like a bum
I think I’m goin’ nowhere and that makes me nervous
Everybody’s out to get me but I feel alright…
Okay, I’m down in the QA lab, starting up Win2K, when I see the message “Updating security pocky.” Whah? Oh…. “policy.” Apparently my brain is telling me I need chocolate. Always one to cater to my impulses, I went and dropped two bucks worth of quarters into the beloved M&M machine. Here’s today’s run-down for those of you playing at home:
Green – 4
Blue – 7
Orange – 10
Red – 12
Brown – 16
Yellow – 18
Whaddaya know – my M&Ms are only 17.9% cancerous today. WOO HOO!!
I am a total DVD slut. My parents helped me out with buying a player for my birthday, so I’ve been stocking up on the movies I love. And the movies I like. And the movies that are okay, but they’re just soooo cheap!
Two sites I’ve found invaluable in my quest of theatrical acquisition:
1) DVD Pricesearch – to put it in a plain, high school-type manner, this site ROCKS! Not only can you compare prices on individual DVDs, you can create a basket of DVDs and compare prices for multiple movies, as well as the option to split the basket up to get the best deal. Add into the equation that it takes shipping and tax costs into account, as well as a separate section of the site listing special deals and coupons for different sites, and this becomes my favoritest place in the world.
2) Netflix – twenty bucks for unlimited rentals – how awesome is that? Considering Blockbuster charges me around four bucks per rental, I’m ahead of the game each month after I’ve rented five. I rented nineteen last month, so I’m waaaaay ahead of the game.
Well, I think I have the computers under control. Now I have to actually start doing work again. Crap – just when things were going good.Today could be a good day, however – I received a notice from DVD Empire that The Princess Bride was shipped out on Saturday. WOO HOO!! Now this means I’ll be walking up two flights of stairs every few minutes today to see if there’s anything in my mailbox. Oh well, I need the exercise anyway.
Okay, so I don’t need to fall back asleep to feel like crap. I merely need to not have a parking place in the morning, have no caffeine in the fridge and two system crashes in the first five minutes. Let’s hear it for Monday.
Well, I figured out what I’ll be doing instead of hockey. I’ll be waking up way too damn early. I think my body got used to running on no sleep and has been totally freaking this weekend. Oh well, at least it’s only an hour to kill before my actual wake up time. Knowing me, I’ll get really sleepy in about thirty minutes, just so I can go back to sleep and feel like crap when the alarm goes off. After all, it’s Monday.
I finally watched Tetsuo: The Iron Man this weekend. Well, most of it anyway. I became a little too tired of trying to figure it out to pay attention. It does bring up an important question that every couple should ask themselves: “Honey, would you still love me if I had metal growing out of me and a giant drill for a penis?”
I also ran to go see Gladiator before it left the big screen. Yes, my butt is still asleep. I think Ridley Scott and Bryan Singer should have switched movies. Ridley gets the X-Men, Bryan gets Gladiator. Then we’d have the perfect amount of story for both.
Just spent the last half hour in the Realm of Redheads. And no, it’s not that kind of site. It’s one of those “communities for outcasts” kinds of sites. In this case, redheads. Yowza.
