Slayers REVOLUTION!!!

What a great way to celebrate the 4th of July. I was so happy, so glad, there were tears in my eyes! After a decade finally... a brand spanking new season of SLAYERS!!!! KIYAA!!! Banzaiii! CHEERS!! OMG, it was soooo gooood! The same cast has returned and of course, not appearing in the 1st episode but is in the opening and ending credits is Xellos!

PS. I didn't set anything on fire today, yey for me!

Finally got it all up...

Lazy bum that I am, I finally got around to posting all the pictures from Disney up on the usual place. It includes the ones from both California Adventures and Disneyland.

Yeah, after all the editing, I'm too lazy to write a post about it. Just go look at it for yourself.

This is the last time I'm going to write the link so STOP ASKING ME FOR IT! BOOKMARK the darn thing already!

Crabby mood crabby mood, wanna sleep...

The Addiction. . .

I don’t know what is it about WoW that just lures me back into addiction mode the instant I sit down with it.

So as many of my WoW buddies can testify, I haven’t played the game for several months now. Several months ago I got tired of playing games and just wanted to read books. Then work got busy so I was too exhausted by the time I got home to even want to boot up my computer. It wasn’t until this past Sunday I decided to hop on (since I was paying the monthly subscription anyways) to see what’s been happening with my old friends. Then I remembered how much I loved playing new characters and exploring new maps along with new abilities, so I picked up a small character I created just before leaving the game. She was fun~

So Sunday turned into Monday which of course lead us to Tuesday. For 3 nights now I have not been getting as much sleep as I usually did when I WASN’T gaming, and which leads us to this Wednesday remorseful post. I n-e-e-d sleep. Sunday night wasn’t too horrible, I think I played until midnight but ended up watching a few Japanese Variety Shows which brought me up to 1:30 before I got into bed. Monday night, having learned my lesson I quit while I was ahead and was in bed around midnight. Tuesday night, oh the downfall.

It was close to midnight when I was going to call it when I decided to party up with lower lvls to just help them with quests. I’m all about questing and always appreciate help when offered so I like to in-turn help others. You never know when favors will be needed, so as a general rule I help those who ask and I’m not busy. So one quest leads to another and on to another and 4 quests later it was pushing 1 o’clock. Ack! I begged off on the next quest, mainly because I needed to turn my own quests in and my pitiful bags (6 slots x2) was full. Actually it has been full since I partied up, but I didn’t mind. Thinking I was just going to go to the AH and Bank then turn in my quests and call it a night. But it turns out that one of the players I was helping out had a higher leveled character and he offered to help me out on a few of my quests that I had cute little huntress hide handed back to me. It was something I mentioned in the passing when we happened to have seen one of my targets while helping him on his quest. Zoom! Quicker than that, in comes his Pally and off we went. Finishing 4 quests (2 was a related quest that was in the same area as the 3^rd quest). It was closer to 2 before I begged off. Thanking politely and happy I finished 2 red quests and very worried that I wasn’t going to wake up on time tomorrow.

This morning was the first time in several months in which was actually awoken by my alarm clock. Normally I wake up at 6-7am to peer at the clock to see how much more I can sleep, then around 8-ish I wake up and become to stressed about time to fall back asleep. I’ve learned to utilize the 1^st wake-up as a time to close my window to muffle the 7:30am call of the neighboring children, and closing the blinds because the sun rise shines directly into the closet mirror which in turns shines right onto my eyes.

Well this morning, it didn’t happen. When the alarm went off, my first thought was CRAPOLLA! I’m running late. Wasn’t too bad, I skidded into the door and was in my work station just 5 minutes later than usual.

So, my eyelids did not being to function properly until closer to 9:30am, but the morning went by as usual. Then around 3:30 I was ready to cry. WHY IS TIME GOING SO SLOOOW. It was 4:45 when I started writing this, hoping to pass time quicker. I am multi-tasking which makes me happy because it DOES make time go by faster. I promise myself that I’m going home and going to bed! (Not going to happen though, know myself too well)

Either way, EARLY BED TIME today. I hope. I’ll keep you all posted.

Please ignore that horrible English grammar and punctuation. I have no desire to put things right today. I’m all about putting commas wherever the heck I want today and incomplete sentences sounds just about how well I’m functioning now.

Major Cleaning and Rearragement...

Saturday 6/14:
Went into my cleaning mode today for my bedroom. Wasn't too messy, but wanted to at least Hoover the place. Which lead to furniture moving so I can get to certain places (it's a really old vacuum), which resulted in finding dust bunnies in places I haven't seen since I've moved in, which lead to bringing out the major cleaning supplies to the point where I was wiping down EVERYTHING, which lead to moving my bed to a new location because my left arm needs to be straight when I sleep which it can't be right now because there was a wall right there which lead to me wanting to move the desk in a different area so that my bed is not so close to the desk draws which lead to major equipment move, cables and parts and eventually the full sized dresser re-angled. Not bad for a morning's worth of work.

P.S. I like the new arrangement.

San Gabriel and Easter...

Went up to San Gabriel last Saturday. Checked out the local history in the San Gabriel Missionary area. Got some good shots if anyone is interested, I've uploaded it in the usual place.

This here is a photo of the Grape Vine, it's sandwiched between the Playhouse and the Missionary.

Normally I'm not a religious person, but I just had a hunkering for visiting something for Easter. It is the only time I ever really think about religion really. Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. There were many people there while I visited, I think most families had the same idea as I did. It was strange while I entered the (what do you call the active church area?), I don't usually have any qualms about taking pictures of anything however, taking pictures of the interior really threw me off. I silently asked for permission to Him before snapping any shots inside. Same thing with the shot of the graves of previous residences, I don't know why, I'm not even sure I believe in afterlife of the soul, but I just felt better to ask before I did it. There were some really neat status in the current cometary but I couldn't even set foot in there, it just creeped me out as being REALLY disrespectful.

While walking around I found these 2 gecko -like lizards sun bathing on some roof tiles. They were cute from a distance, one of them even showed off by doing some push ups for me!Oh look, an old thing...for erm...erm... yeah I don't know what, but it looks older than me so it's got to be ANCIENT!
As for Easter Sunday itself, I stayed home. That night I had the window and curtains opened to let in the nice breeze when I happen to glance up and saw the nearly Full Moon. There was an interesting glow around it in the shape of a Cross. No, I didn't find God/religion all of the sudden, but I still appreciate the significance of it.

Two To Three Times a Day. . .

The alignment is all off sorry!

Look closely, you can see the needle!

*Urgh* it hit, but it won't bleed! I highly dislike this when it happens. It means that I have to do it again to another finger!

Round 2

actually had to 'milk' this finger to get enough out. Guess the blood just didn't want to flow today.












No, that number isn't how much sugar is in my blood silly. If I was down to 3, I'd be in a coma if not dead by now. The machine just does a count down.

Sticking the used needle into the used cap, so that when I remove the lancet I don't accidentally poke myself again.

A handy dandy carrying case to put all of units into. It actually looks alot like the case I carry around for computer repair.






Properly disposing the used needle is very important!





This container costed $3-. I would have used a coffee tin, but since I don't drink coffee. . .

It's clearly labeled for sharp objects and must be disposed of properly. So good boys and girls, if you ever have sharp objects like this to toss, call up your local city hall or whom ever handels the disposals and ask them where to bring things like this. You wouldn't want to be responsible for it accidentally getting into the children's sandbox would ya?





That's about it, any other questions?

The Torkelson's Visit

Last week, my older cousin Nina, her family and mother came to LA for a visit. Her sister Jane lives here and actually works only a few blocks from where I work. I haven't seen Nina in nearly a decade and certainly never seen her husband or child in person. We get the usual announcements that includes photos, but it was very fun to actually MEET these people in person.
Well, I got to meet them Saturday night for supper with my uncle's family
Tom is a very well spoken high lvl administrator for a charter school system, similar to a Superintendent. I was thoroughly impressed, he is so young!!! He really does seem well educated and genuine. I mean that in, there's polite interest and there's real interest in the talker and he really seem to listen well. Little Lincoln grew quite a bit from his baby photos. He's 2 years old now and a bundle of energy, even if he did miss his nap. He really smart to boot! We all met up at the boba shop my younger cousin works at and Lincoln was playing with the left over boba in his mother's cup. He accidentally sucked up the boba and spit it back out. It dropped to the floor and he was going to put it back into the cup but I stopped him and ask him to give it to me. (hey, I may not know much about kids but at least I know they shouldn't be putting dirty food in their active play thing) The next time it happened he actually picked the boba up and handed it to me by himself without asking! such a smart young man! Most of the young children I've ever encountered seem to have zero attention span and to remember something such as "ooo, this dropped on the floor I shouldn't eat it and should give it to that lady over there who asked for it last time" was none existent. So for Lincoln to remember something like this, I'm impressed. I hear that he's tri-lingual to boot!

The night was cut short because the family were flying out the next morning and had more packing to do. I hope I get to see young Lincoln again before he's all grown up. Maybe when Nina's second is born. . .

I was never really good at math. . .

Here I am, an absolutely useless person when it comes to mathematics and I find myself having to do a darn tootin' lot of it. Grrr. . .

9:00 Breakfast: 2 Metformin

Fried Egg: 92 x 2 = 184
Whole Wheat Bread: 65 x 2 = 130
184+130=314/1,200

hum...

10:30 snack
Small Apple: 55
55+314= 369

to be continued . . .

And people thought I was strange...

Okay, so a long while back during my murder and mystery phase, I came up with a question that some people thought was crazy and would happen so rarely that it wasn't even worth contemplating. Well guess what people, IT HAPPENED!!! Muwaa haa haa I have been proven that my random questions aren't to be ignored! They're BRILLIANT!

So my original question was, if a dead body was do be found on the boarder for two jurisdictions who would take over the investigation? While in the US of A it wouldn't be so much a problem since we have county, city, state and Federal and anything that cross state lines goes into Federal what if it were to happen between countries?

Thus it brings us to the news of the moment, looks like the Dutch and Belgians are going at this same debate. Woman's body found in a house that straddles the borderline (I wonder how she gets post delivered) now they're duking it out as to who gets to investigate the crime. My theory is where ever she pays her taxes, makes sense doesn't it? But what if it weren't her house she was found in you ask, well then why not set up a team and collaborate on this? But no, it would seem that the two countries will be fighting over this one. . .

Learning to live. . .

Well I can't exactly say I didn't know it was coming. I've been staring it in the face for a long while now and have been reluctant to do anything about it because truthfully I didn't want to do anything about it. It was a question of does the benefit of living a long(er) life outweigh the joy of living each day for itself. I think that's one of the problems I had once I got out of college also. When I thought about it now, I knew why I was dragging my feet about finding a permanent job.

Not many people know this but I once admitted to a few close friends that I do not want to live past 40 years old (this was back when I was around 18). At the time, I just couldn't imagine how stale life would become, same things every day of waking up, going to work, coming home, going to bed. I didn't and still don't want that life style. Fast forward 8 years, that's the exact position I find myself in. I wake up, I go to work, I come home, I eat then either read or play on my computer, then I turn to bed. I am 26 years old, guess 40 had a jump on me.

Every few months now I go into the doctors to have my blood works done, every time it comes back with a more severe result. This last test taken 2 weeks ago shows that my blood sugar is out of control which will soon being to effect my organs. I knew I was Type 2 for the last 4 months. My previous doctor had diagnosed me with it. For a while I did good. I ate right, I did my diet (South Beach Phase 1), didn't to the exercise as a routine but changed little habits to increase my mobility such as park on the far side of the lot, go for walks etc. But then the holidays kicked in and I went off that schedule. I still parked far away sometimes even in different lots, but it wasn't enough to counteract the junk I was eating or the breakfast I skip. And highly worrisome is the fact that I tend to forget to take my mid-day medication.

Today, I saw the result of my actions. Blood sugar lvl was even considered high for Type 2. The doctor
obviously scolded me on skipping the meds, and stressed the importance of monitoring my blood sugar. She was surprised my previous doctor who diagnosed me with diabetes did not tell me to monitor it. Thus, I have a new gizmo to learn how to use. Class on how to use my OneTouch Ultra2 is tomorrow morning. Let's see if I'm awake enough to remember at least 1/2 what they say, 9am is not the best time to try to shove information down my throat.

I've also signed up for Diabetes class, the earliest was starting at the end of next month. My supervisor was very concerned and obviously supportive of me taking the class which would take 3 hours every Friday morning, which with travel means I work 1/2 days. She wants me to get this under control, actually everyone I know wants me to get this under control.

*sigh* One day at a time I suppose. One day at a time.

Regarding that whole living to 40 thing, *shrug* what does an 18 year old know anyways? As I'm beginning to push 30 I'm starting to think "50 shouldn't be so bad", now if only people would get off my case about getting a permanent job! Oh wait, I need one so I can have insurance, this diabetes stuff is expensive!

Learning how to drive

Why can't Southern Californians learn how to DRIVE in the rain? It's something I noticed about them. They're so used to sunny weather that once you throw a sprinkle at them, it's like the city comes to a halt and they FREAK! Everything goes down to a crawl. Give them a whole week of steady rain and they actually start to resume normal driving speed, then a week of sunshine followed by a sprinkle and we're back to square one again.

This morning I was practically riding my breaks. Just as I thought we were going to go above 25 mph in a 45 zone, someone up ahead slows and causing the rest of us to break. AHHH!!!! FRICK! PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE! I PROMISE YOU! Your car is not going to hydroplane in a sprinkle like this! It's hardly enough to even have to turn on the windshield wipers! Can we PLEASE go at LEAST 35mph? Oh yeah, YOU! 4 cars above that just slowed down, GET OFF YOUR FREAKIN' PHONE AND DRIVE! AHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............*mental breakdown*

For a group of drivers who normally don't even blink at going 50-60mph in the 45 zone, I'm surprised what a little rain does to these drivers. I pray that no snow ever shows up, I fear these people would just park their car in the middle of the street dumbfounded and walk home. Not that it'll ever snow here, but still. . .

Side note: People who cannot even pretend to drive normally while talking on the phone, GET OFF THE ROAD!

Jeopardy and the lasagna that wasn't eaten

Yesterday noon when I went out and purchased lunch from Ralph's Market from down the street I thought about how long it's been since I had lasagna. Mmmm...lasagna sounds gooooood. So I picked up the ingredients to make it. Not the hardest thing in the world to make from scratch and I've already made it quite a few times since college so I had the ingredients committed to memory. Funny thing though, I forgot the tomato sauce! HA! That's okay since I picked it up on my way home from the Japanese Market which was even better because they have them by 1/2 bottles! Why can't they sell that in the regular American markets? These guys are a little expensive if you think about price per ounces but at least it wouldn't go to waste. I can never use up a whole jar of sauce!

So, I got home and started to put my ingredients together. Which was fairly hard considering 1/2 my counter and all of the sink was taken up by dishes and pots/pans. Yes, I gave into the need of having space to work so I washed them all. I usually do dishes 2x week because I don't accumulate much every night and don't do it daily because, well I'm a lazy putz. I don't mind washing dishes, but putting them away is a pain! Since I have limited drying space, washing dishes = putting dried dishes away = urgh!

Okay, time for some tube while I wash and cook. Oh yes, if anyone ever comes over to my place and wonders where the remote is, it's usually on the kitchen counter. I don't watch TV much and when I do it's usually because I'm cooking and need background noise. I was right on time for the nightly news. Other than the anchor being different, they told of the SAME NEWS! Grrr, Obama McCain etc etc etc. . . b o r e i n g! Actually I regard political news just about the same as I do about the war in middle-east. Good for a while, and TOTALLY ANNOYING after 2 weeks of nothing else. And now I get double dosage, usually to escape the news of the war I turn to another station but now we have the election I can't escape it. Finally, I tuned into ABC who had something else to talk about. Usually I'm an NBC watcher, but ABC may have won me over if they keep up with keeping political and war stories for the first 10 minutes and other news for the last 15 minutes. Much better than NBC who is dragging out all the analysts and poking the subject to death.

Where was I? Oh yes, my meal. My the time the turkey sausage was done Teen Jeopardy was on, YEY! I like Teen and Celeb Jeopardy because I don't feel nearly as dumb. It still amazes me how fast these Teens were answering the question, but I still can get most of the answer, while in regular Jeopardy I can usually only answer a handful. I made my cheese filling and off to layering we go! Actually, it wasn't as much layering as the ones I made at home usually am because I was making a mini version. I don't want to be eating this for the next 2 months! Even as it is, I think I'll be eating this for the whole week, by then I'd be screaming NO MAS!

It takes a while to bake, so I heated up some left over turkey broth and threw some 冬粉 in there and vola! Instant meal. Which filled me up, Jeopardy was over, so I went and hopped on WoW for less than 5 minutes before the sleepiness set in. Hopped off, and decided to curl up with a good book. ZONK! Before I knew it, it was 8:30pm. I gave up the fight. Did my nightly routine, took the lasagna out of the oven (I had turn the oven off before hopping on WoW), then went to bed.

I slept through 'til my 7am unwelcome alarm from my neighbors. Stupid little kids who can't seem to shut up and the Mother who has the most piercing voice of all. About 15 minutes of this then back to slumber land for me, then my real alarm went off and I still didn't want to come out of bed today. What is wrong with me? I slept for nearly 12 hrs and I wanted to sleep some more. Even now, after my breakfast and I've been up over an hour and I still want to crawl back to bed. *Sigh* this is going to be a very long day.

Islands, Yoda, and the new hard drive

This weekend was fairly lively, by my standards. For others it may be just another day, but for me to even be willing to go outside my 5 mile radius bubble it was fairly large. My cousin Jane (yes relatives tend to get our names mixed up) called me up this past week and we made a date for the weekend to meet up for lunch. I chose to drive over to her side (Manhattan beach) since she's more familiar with where to go for food and such.

The weather turned out nice so after a meal at Islands where I did something I rarely do, ordered an alcoholic beverage to go with my chicken tacos, we went for a walk around Manhattan beach with her dog named Yoda. A cute dachshund! I found out why he was named Yoda while sitting at the store watching my cousin browse the store. I finally got to really look at him from the front. With small dogs we tend to see them from the top so it's not nearly as noticeable but when I was face to face with him, his ears were HUGE! Everyone seem to like him, he growls at bigger dogs like he could totally take them on, but ignores little ones that come across his path. I purchased a few items, one for Oliver that I'm hoping will fit his body. I couldn't exactly tell from the photographs what his chest size is so we'll have to see.

After we parted, I made a stop at Fry's Electronics. I refuse to go to the Best Buy in Torrance on PCH anymore! I went in with the goal today of looking at what's on the shelves in regards to motherboards and with a resolve of buying a new external hard drive to clear off all the stuff I got on my internals. I've been toying with the idea of reformatting and cleaning up, but *urgh* so many programs to re-upload that it gave me a headache. WoW itself would take nearly 3-4hrs with all the patches. I don't want to think what GW + WoW together would take me.

Okay, so about my new baby:
Dear readers, I've officially gone Tera! Byte that is, how in the world can 1 single user ever plan to fill up that much space? Lets just say it isn't as hard as it looks. So now I have a baby tower, I need a name for it, any suggestions?

Cho Dang Tofu and the annoying blond

Last night I went to Cho Dang Tofu to have a spicy seafood tofu soup...mmm. I enjoy that place once in an odd while. I don't eat much spicy food, but when I do I do it major style. Anyhow, I've gotten used to going out and eating by myself at restaurants. I used to only go to placed that offer takeout (which really isn't a problem here) but now I'm pretty much okay with it. Now I arrived somewhere around 6:30 in the evening so it was around the time when the REAL big crowds come in so it was relatively easy to find seating. (photo taken by Sally K for yelp.com) I wish I hadn't taken the seat that was offered. I was seated next to the loudest, opinionated (yet contradictory), and somewhat foul mouthed and mis-informed female (I hesitate to use the word young lady for she is neither young and CERTAINLY not a lady). Please allow me to continue my rant. She was seated across the table with her co-worker which I had at first mistaken for her mother because of her choices of language usage, it reminded me of a petulant teenager with an exasperated mother who's gotten to the point where they don't even do anything about it. But I later found out it was her co-worker. Okay, I'm not one for ease dropping on people conversations, but seriously this PERSON was just so loud you can't ignore her.

In a short time of trying my best to ignore her, I learned that she is part of the administrative team for the corporate office of some engineering firm. She has issue digesting food so she doesn't eat much (FAKER) and she counts calories like crazy. She picks at her food, avoids anything that has the slightest hint of sugar or carb, good for her but please STOP PREACHING! and Stop WASTING FOOD! She could and SHOULD have refused the rice that came with the soup but she ate like 3 small bites and was like "Oh no I ate more rice than I should have. I have to go throw up now" her words, not mine.

She complained about the stupidity of the fact that engineers have more authority and rights than they (the admin. grp) does. I don't believe she's really part of the Administrative team though because as she said to her companion, [I don't know how you can do this where you sit in front of the computer all day it would drive me crazy]. Sorry, I needed to clean up the language for the public audience. Continuing on, she listened, impatiently I might add, about the problems her co-worker was having with another worker who is slightly higher in rank than her. We'll call the female A and the older co-worker B. So A was [oh I would take that, I would so totally talk back and file a complaint etc etc etc..] once again cleaned up for the public. B explained that no matter what she does people like him will always have a job there. A turn and said "No way man, I'm in corporate now so I can fire his ---".

At that point I had wanted to burst out laughing like a loon. It was apparent from the way that she was a)dress b)language c)complaints that whatever she did at the "corporate" office, it did not have the power beyond the first tier of administrative work. Considering she doesn't use computer much, I have a mind of "glorified office intern" in my mind.

So the evening goes on with her saying one thing but later on her actions or reactions to something her co-worker said contradicts her original opinion or statement. I was never happier to see a crowd coming in and I can try to tune her out. Her language, did I mention, was absolutely appalling? I know if I had turned and ask her nicely to please tone down her language as there was children and people like me about that may find if offensive she would have told me "if I can't stand it just leave, I have every right to be saying whatever I want" and caused a scene.

Finally, when my meal was 3/4 way through they left. My great sigh of relief did not go unnoticed. Sitting by the window with his wife/girlfriend was a gentleman, he wasn't near my table but close enough for me to gather that he heard much of what was said and also couldn't ignore it. He more than likely had it a little worse than myself considering he sat perpendicular to us so every time he looked up, he could see the speaker. I doubt he could hear what the co-worker B was saying as she was a more mature woman who has MUCH better manners than the younger. She was the more "corporate" like of the two. Yes, she complained (I mean who doesn't in a major company) but in a quieter tone and using better choice of language. Anyhow, the man smiled at me in sympathy and understanding when he saw me nearly do a happy dance (I restrained myself) when the two left and gave me a "can you believe that?" look. When my meal was finish and I was leaving we gave each other a nod.

It's little things like that simple understanding and interaction that made me decide to stop ordering out and actually going to eat at the restaurants instead of hiding in my apartment. Yes, I was always afraid of one day becoming that one person who sits at the corner table dinning alone, but I realized that there is a need for human contact. No the man and I don't know each other, we never talked and more likely will never see each other again, but it's good to know that I am not odd or have lost touch with society.

Yes, my way of thinking may be somewhat outdated. However, I still believe that in public and mixed companies we should keep our vulgar use of language to a minimum to none. At restaurants keeping a respectable low tone out of consideration for others. And don't call your elders names or curse at their mistakes in public! But that's just me and my antiquated ways, influenced by too many romance novels and children books.

Funniest part: co-worker B pleaded with A asking her not to repeated anything, mainly the complaints she made about certain bosses or co-workers, to anyone. Of course A said something really rude back about how if she had a trust issue she shouldn't have said it in the first place etc. But they were talking so loudly that I think not only myself and the man heard it all, 5 others more than likely heard it clearly and me, being seated so close could repeat many names and complaints. She didn't as any of us to talk about it. . . anyhow, if something leaks out and co-worker B gets in trouble, I'd totally blame A.

Welcoming the Year of the Rat

Okay, so today is the official start of the new year, which meant that last night was New Years Eve. Thus, I went out to supper with my uncle's family. It was funny how we couldn't decide what to do. All it was decided was we were going to have supper together, whether it was going to be at my uncle's house or out and if we go out where do we go...all this wasn't decided as of 5:00pm when my aunt left the office. I don't get off until 5:30pm so I was on standby for instructions.

Finally, it was decided we were to eat at a local Japanese restaurant called Waka Take. I've been there and have enjoyed their food so I was happy.

Yes, food was good.

Erm...yeah, so I call my mother, and father (at the golf course waaay on the other side of the world), my sister, I congratulated my friend in Germany (via WoW) tried to call his older brother but the putz, as always, wasn't picking up.
Oh yes, and cousin dearest got a phone call around 10:30 at night. . . heh, I'm sure she was surprised and laughing about my question, it was bothering me, I just couldn't figure it out!!!

New Face

A new week, a new face for work. Last week I played IT, where I went in and played around with a computer and the network server. Actually, I went and fixed the internet in the company upstairs this morning also.

This week, I'm playing the role of an accountant. I have to balance the sent and received to factory. Reconciling 2007 account, this could be interesting. Sometimes I feel like the character, Jared from the 90s show, the Pretender.
Every week I would have a new job, this makes filling out the job description and job title very VERY hard when it comes to applications. People think it's strange when I describe what I do, like I'm making it up or I keep changing jobs. Quite seriously, I just do something very different every so often for the same company.

Entering Year 26. . .

Humm...yeah, nothing magical happened when the clock struck 12 this morning. Thus I bring this year in with. . . FLOWERS!
Tee hee hee, my sister was being sneaking trying to collect information about me and surprised me at work with a delivery of these pretty babies! I've never received flowers at work before, it made me giddy all day. Good thing I came to work today, I was thiiiiissss close from calling it in.

Supper tonight with my aunt and cousins at Cheesecake Factory (hum...didn't I do this last year with my friends back home?). Will write more if something else uber exciting happens.

Liberty Mutual Ads

I have to admit that I am a sucker for good commercials. Mind you, I don't watch commercials all the time, but once in a while something will catch my eyes that I enjoy watching and hope for another one. Examples would be the Skittle "taste the rainbow", fantasy like ones. Which they longer air, bummer.

Another commercial that I don't see much of anymore (could be because I rarely watch television now) is the Liberty Mutual ad set to the music of "Half Acre" by Hem. Whenever I used to see it on the television set I NEVER turn it away. *sniffle* it's my "awww" moment.

Just another weird obsession of mine that I had to throw out there.
