Good: INR = 2.8.

Bad: Middle finger bruised. Right on the pad too. Typing is going to be SO much fun today.

Good: Managed to get past this morning's headnoise and get to CDH and work on time. Yes, there was a moment where that almost didn't happen. Really done with the mental illness thing, kthx.

Bad: OMG so much work today. And no breakfast.

Ugly: my work computer (SexyBeast) is making alarming my-CPU-is-going-to-explode noises. So a good chunk of my morning is going to be process hunting and killing. And did I mention no breakfast?

Good: Looking forward to AGT and other stuff tonight. Actually starting to get back into Chaotic again and actually enjoy it.

Bad: I feel like complete and utter shit both physically and mentally. Plus I'm probably going to be at work late not only tonight but quite possibly every night for the next two weeks including weekends. However...

Good: Overtime for the win. Goodness knows I need the $$$

Bad: I'm never going to sleep again.

Of course all of the above means I'll either go into radio silence (so don't be surprised if my various IM statuses read DND for the next two weeks) or I'm going to be posting every hour on the hour as a sanity saving measure. We'll see. *lines up windmill in her sights and prepares to charge*

Gods, I feel like I'm writing a final paper for a class with the amount of carrying on I've been doing and procrastination. (Got a work project due tomorrow, lol.)

But I did want to take a few minutes to ramble a bit about Second Life. Yes. Second Life. Go on, make fun of me. I'll wait.

Done? Ok.

( whoa, this got long, yikes )

Anycrap. SL=damn fascinating in its own weird little way.

Back to work with me.

Current Music: Meat Loaf - Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

Coming to work, after two days of being sick and a night where first you went to bed late and then couldn't sleep because you were having very loud dreams/auditory hallucinations of someone playing a four register pipe organ in your head (basically if Bach had made a theme and variations fugue type thing of the WoW music in Aldrassil that would have been pretty damn close to what I was hearing) is a pretty bad idea. It gets worse if you postpone caffiene consumption to after 11am.

I'm ok. I have coffee now. But I nearly hit nervous breakdown land a few times this morning. But seriously, that organ shit last night was fucked up. Like I thought I was dreaming but when I woke up (and I was awake, I checked) the noise didn't stop. And it was pretty deafening too - if you crammed a church organ into a 1 bedroom apartment and then had someone practicing at 3am, you wouldn't be able to sleep either.

In other news, I

morlock and a few of

bluewindkitsune's folks have started up a ragtag WoW party. This should be a fun time waster for a few evenings this month. I'm not sure how I'll like the game once the ooooh shiny newness of playing wears off - yes it's very pretty, but I've spent quite a bit of time watching

morlock play so... dunno. Right now it's fun and we're going to have a group to play with, so we'll see how far that goes. I think after I get bored with it though I'm going to take a break from MMORPGs for a while - I'm burnt out on puzzle pirates right now as well, and I've got quite a bit of other crap going on in real life to be keeping up with in-game politics elsewhere. So I'm going to try not to let it take over my soul as it has done so many others. :)

Up to episode 15 in Lost season 2. Much more with the WhatTheCrap. And Studio 60? Amazing amazing show I see why

morlock wants to have Aaron Sorkin's babies, biological impossibility notwithstanding. Watch it next week.

That's all. Going to go quietly insane at work now.

Current Mood: stressed

You know it's bad when your two main activities for the weekend combine in unexpectedly hilarious ways. Like the fact that for a while when I closed my eyes I could see the fret strip from Guitar Hero floating behind my eyes, except the fret buttons were the appropriately colored snoods. Not to mention the background was a snood game in progress.

As if to add insult to injury, the makers of Snood have come out with Snoodoku. That's right, kids. Sudoku. Played with snoods instead of numbers. It's actually a little harder playing with the snoods, as numbers have a sort of predetermined sequence to them and snoods don't.

I'm starting to really like Guitar Hero. I get rather too easily frustrated with my scores a lot, whereupon

sydneycat yells at me to OMG lighten up, since I haven't yet gotten lower than three stars on a song, even the ones I "don't know." (I only put those in quotes because I've watched

morlock play it enough that I'm at least basically familiar with most of the songs on the regular set list.) I seem to have some trouble with synching up anything faster than a quarter note with the note indicated on the strip, especially if a sequence starts on an off beat. Then again I've always had a little trouble counting things musically - I tend to come in early. Anyway, I've been having fun with it, and I'm considering getting another guitar controller once I catch up with

morlock, cause then we can play duets. Or something.

In other news, I'm still kinda baseline listless and tired, this weekend I've been alternating between manic and quietly despondent, yesterday I couldn't stop eating (hormonal munchies, I think)... I've just been all over the map, and I definitely didn't get enough sleep this weekend, which means I'm very with the bleary eyed and the whiny "But Mooooooom, I don't wanna go to work" sentiments. Spent much of yesterday and today playing the aforementioned games and playing "Spot the black guy in (event)" with

sydneycat during the Olympic coverage. Cause you know, black people don't do the winter sports thing. Unless they're from France (cute French snowboarder last night...). I was actually surprised to see two vaguely colored men in the pairs figure skating (not scatting, ha ha). I'm rather looking forward to the men's singles skating, curling, 2 person luge (truly the most homoerotic sport ever). Also

sundart cooked some fantastically yummy chicken last night as well.... :) Dahling, you must do that again sometime.

I might take this Friday off and have myself a four day weekend. I have been putting in six day weeks for the past three... I think it's starting to catch up with me.

and now... time to play everyone's favorite game: "Where's! My! Shoe!?"

Current Mood: groggy

First an amusing thing - one of my purchases at Halt & Consume besides dinner supplies was a set of Barbie clothes. Yes, Barbie is the Froo-it of the dye-veel, as Mike Myer's dad would say in So I Married an Axe Murderer. but you see, I have one with a special connotation that requires some explaining.

So once upon a time there were five girlies -

jaicat,

darkling_dreams,

sundart,

gossamer_gull and I - who all got together monthly for marathon all-girl Vampire the Masquerade gaming sessions . . . (working on the web site, if anybody's interested in the full story - that is if you're not going "GAMING?? AAAAAAAAAGH!!!" and running in the opposite direction) My character was a "15 year old" former hooker/organist (yep, many a bad pun abounded about that) named Sara whose somewhat seedy past came back to bite her ass in the form of this skeevy lawyer guy named John Riviera with proclivities towards adolescents that apparently followed him into his unlife . . . Anyway, for my birthday one year,

gossamer_gull and

darkling_dreams made a diorama of a New Orleans hotel room with "Sara" (the aforementioned Barbie doll) and "John" (a Ken doll without its original head - the head it's currently got has a tendency to fall off) in compromising positions. The diorama unfortunately got kind of mangled over time, but I still have Sara and John, and every so often I will buy Sara a character-appropriate (read all black or all purple) outfit. I would do the same for John but I have yet to see a Ken doll wearing a conservative business suit, and since the John character isn't the type for Hawaiian shirts and florescent flowered swim trunks, my John doll will have to stay naked for now. Ah well. Anyway. Context aside, I bought Sara a set of surprisingly un whore-like purple jammies today. Doesn't she look cute?

I've had a quote from X2 floating around and around in my head since last night - the one where Magneto says to Pyro "You are a god amongst insects; never let anyone tell you otherwise." Wow. On one hand I totally don't agree with the sentiment, as I don't necessarily think any particular group of people is superior to any other, but at the same time, what a neatly powerful statement. The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I liked the movie last night - in the burgeoning land of Movie Sequel we're about to enter, I think that X2 is leading the pack right now.

Anyhoo, enough silliness. I have chicken to cook.

Current Mood: busy

Considering what quite a few people I know are currently going through I kinda feel bad about complaining at great length about my low grade "little cloud of shit." I'm still not sure where it is coming from, but I do know that it's still there.

Had yummy dinner from

sundart last night, followed by a ton of Insanaquarium (nothing soothes the soul like lasering the aliens out ouf your fish tank) followed by the trash cha cha (surprising lack of lame, probably because

sundart is a kind kind soul and scooped out the litterboxes), followed by the aforementioned trip to sprawlfart (a perfectly ridiculous amount of kitty litter was bought, in addition to 2 bottles of pepsi). We then stopped at McFrankenfood for some horrendous crap, and

beatgoddess bought me some Finding Nemo happy meal toys that make funny noises from the movie, and I think squirt water when you fill them up. We went home and then watched Monsters Inc, during which I conked out on the couch, then staggered to bed.

Need to figure out how to stop my subconscious from assigning certain people in my life a parental like power, and then figure out how to stop resenting these same individuals for it. feh

Current Mood: discontent

I went to see Finding Nemo tonight, with

beatgoddess,

sundart,

primitive_boy and Brit Girl. Pixar strikes again! Seriously, I love Pixar movies. They are just the masters of small environment comedies. They take a small space, like a kids room or a closet or a fish tank, and then dream up these totally wacky and absolutely hilarious situational comedies within that small space. It takes some storytelling skill to take the participants of these microcosmic dramas and blow up their concerns to a level where we actually give a shit.

That said: ( My favorite stuff - includes spoilers )

One word of advice about this movie. Stay for the credits. Not only do you get to see the characters again, playing around in the water, but one or two surprises crop up at the very end.

Overall, I liked it a lot. We're going to have to give this one 2 snaps up in a circle. Oh yeah - I still owe

labmouse a prize for that last one. :)

In other news, I am continually frightened and yet fascinated by the people who religiously play Dance Dance Revolution on the two machines in the Hampshire Mall and are good at it. (I tried it once, with very discouraging results.) There are always two types of people that seem to be good at it - tall willowy Goth looking Asian boys, and stocky - fat guys of all other ethnicities, specifically this Latino guy with a mop of curly hair that is mad quick - and he does the special thing where you can take up both of the foot pads, rather than just the one, and does crazy stuff like run around the backs of them to get to the other side before the next wave of music. They have to be practicing at home or something - but somehow the thought of that possibility is even scarier. "Are you a monkey?" Yes, I am! but somehow amid the horror, I kinda wish I was good at it. :)

Going to Six Flags tomorrow! First stop on the agenda is an Olde Time Photographe (anything to dress up like a wild west brothel madam! Whoo) and then much junk food and rides. Yay!
