Mood: Meh

This week has been tiring for stupid reasons that shouldn't be, in turn making me feel equally stupid, thus provoking probably too much chocolate than is most likely healthy for one human body, and hours of Cardcaptor Sakura. Last couple of days work has been draaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaging, and I'm not looking forward to going back in tomorrow and standing for another seven hours that will seem like seven YEARS. *Falls off chair in a congealed mess on floor*

Seanathan sent me this link, and I was distracted from stupidness by better stupidness that made me gafaw (I don't think anyone has ever actually "gafaw"-ed, but it's a fun word so let's go with it.)

Had my first crash course in Macromedia Flash on the weekend. Flash eats my soul. It's simpler than I thought it would be, the basics anyway, but in a very loooooong, drawn out, time-consuming sort of way. A three minute flash movie like on Albino Blacksheep -- I would DIE before I can imagine making and finishing one of those.

Inane is getting sloppy on their Naruto translations. . .this saddens me. The news that Naruto has been licensed also aggravates me to a degree, for the sole reason that I fear having to be forced to resort to IRC to download episodes if bittorrent downloads become unavailable. I'll have to rage. Just a bit.

More links that have been compiling in my mailbox:

This happies me. Especially the dragging the mouse through the wood shavings part.

While this disturbs me.

AHHHHHHHH!

Gafaw! Matrix cow.

Looking forward to next week on West Wing -- Josh and Toby, THROW DOWN! Be there next Wednesday! *Girly cat fight ensues* I want Josh and Donna to snog. It would happy me. (Lack of grammer also happies me. And lack of spell check.)

Okay, I'm out.

Mood: S'right

That's right, baby. We are now OS X-ified. Mmm, sexy. Rarw~ *Showers her Macintosh with love. It purrs.* The poor thing still has a bit of a head cold from all of this scary operating system upgrading, and in the mean time I'm deprived from my usual dual monitor set up, and Photoshop hasn't been loaded yet, the scanner isn't working, I've discovered that the new Safari web browser is a whore and I need to recode lots of websites to work in it, and there's tons of things I haven't figured out yet, but nevertheless OS X rocks my face off for the most part.

I've gone shopping twice in the last week and have bought an over-abundance of wonderful things, among them being many pretty shirts, volume seven of the Evangelion manga, volumes one to four of Hot Gimmick, season six of Buffy, two FMA posters, Romeo and Juliett DVD, lots of La Senza pretty things, the first Bridget Jones Diary book, and. . .*drumroll*. . .A NEW CELLPHONE! It's a cute little Samsung flip phone, and I bought a red cover for it, and I loooooove it.

My car starter is being installed on Friday morning! Which also means I have to wake up at 6:00 in the morning in order to have it in by 7:00. . . =__=; Good news is that I'll have the two or three hour wait while it's being done to read my new mangas. *Reads her shoujo in the waiting room and begins giggling and rolling around in her chair. All the other customers look scared.*

Hmm, out of things to say again. . . Dodgeball is freaking hilarious, and the montage scene with people getting hit in the face with wrenches practically killed me, holy shit, I couldn't stop laughing. Ben Stiller rocks my world. Seriously. I'm just kidding though. But not really.

Things. . .

. . .you shouldn't do with glue.

Mood: Alright. A bit tired.

Not much of anything interesting in my life over the past week. I've locked myself up in my room for the last few days drawing and playing Buffy for background noise. Everyone who isn't me is back doing the school thing, while Grant Mac hasn't even replied back about my registration for part-time, which means I have the ungodly task of spending an hour on the phone with them tomorrow of which three quarters of it will no doubt be on hold with the best of the 80s or radio advertisements playing in my ear. *Fist shaking*

I'm getting sick again. I demand stronger drugs.

Oh, and my car is WHORE. Turns out my little oil leak turned into a geyser and in turn filled up with fuel which ended up giving my whole car some horrible type of hangover and had to be towed to the mechanic. All the hospital bills are costing me almost $500, which has to come out of my room reno fund. My car and I are not in a happy place right now.

I finally saw Hero. Jet Li kicks some amazing ass and the movie was awesome. I like Broken Sword, he was a hot Chinese man and full of angst. Or was he Snow? Who the hell was Sky? The first guy? Why do they have such weird ass names? Can I be Pink Bunny Slipper?

YAY! Chelle's friend Greg is gonna set up my new PC! Being a predominately Macintosh family, born and raised, none of us really understand this whole PC thing. . .they're complicated and seem to require lots of unnecessary attention to get working and maintain healthy. We don't have the patience for this. And so enters the Greg-ness. We have cleverly lured him into the task with the promise of freshly baked cookies of the chocolate and no nuts variety. Yay Gregor! I guess this means I actually have to bake some cookies now. . .

James sent me this link to a sweet but very sad video. Takes a long time to load.

I have quizzes spilling out the yin yang and stockpiling up that I should hurry up and get rid of.

You Should Date A Swede! You're a romantic, albeit an understated and practical one. It's more about a steady partnership for you, not unrestrained falling. Your Swede will give you the unwavering love you crave while making up some mean pancakes and meatballs on the side!

Which Foreign Guy Should You Date? Take This Quiz :-)

Muh ha ha, that's right, make me pancakes, hot Swede-wench!

Crappy quiz. Couldn't even get off its lazy ass and think me up some special features. What a rip.

No comment. *Shifty eyes* *Shoots out her spidey webs and flies away over the roof tops*

Yay! I finally got the new blog I designed for Coleen up and running! *So proud of herself* It turns out all the trouble I was having was from one simple bloody tag that was missing on both the main page and archive page, and that in turn made everything run chaotic and crazy and just generally wrong.

I really like the design though, personally. Not only the yaoi obviously, but I like the way it's set up and I particularly enjoy the links at the bottom. And the color. Green is pretty. ^^

*Does a little dance*

Now that I have that project out of the way, I am now off to relax and enjoy a good night of Buffy season five.

Oh yeah, while I was bored stupid today at work, I finally thought up some names for my two yaoi guys, simply because I thought they needed names since I've begun using them a lot in my drawings. The one on the left is Dallas, and the guy on the right is Elliot. They're my yaoi boys. *^^* I might write a short story with them, I'm not sure yet. Anyhoo, I go now.

Gya ha ha ha ha, my Gaara plushy arrived! He's just as cute as I knew he would be: witness the cuteness that is the almighty Gaara! You can see he's also wearing a fashionable Hawaiian lei made from seashells, I know he may not look like he's enjoying it but I think he's really getting into the "Aloha" spirit. Hang loose, Gaara.

Beside the tremendously splendid Gaara, is also the almighty Jesus action figure James-kun gave me for Christmas, which also kicks tremendous ass. "Complete with posable arms and real-life gliding action!" Oh ho ho, Jesus, you wacky yaoi deity, you. . . *Thousands of angry Christians proceed to stone her to death*

It's nice to be home -- I didn't realize how much I missed my computer and especially my yaoi. The only real manlove I had while I was away was my new "FAKE" volume five manga which I managed to find newly-released in a mall down in Hawaii. *Squeak* I was not pleased to discover, however, that I'm scheduled to work for the next seven days straight, nor the more than 1200 junk mails that had accumulated in my inbox (hence my recent change of email address. . .) All I need is my Buffy Season five to sit down and watch and all will be happy though. *Turns to Coleen and pelts tiny stones at her until she returns her DVD set*

Also, if you haven't noticed yet, I added a link to my sister's new blog. We found out that while it looks fine on a Macintosh, there's some definite bugs to work out with the template so it views properly on a PC and doesn't look like it was blown up with a bazooka. -____- Gah, I have to go get ready for work. . . *Hand flail*

As a post-Christmas present to myself, I just splurged and bought a freaking kick-ass GAARA ufo catcher plush off this eBay auction. I just sent the money for it a few minutes ago and I don't even have the doll yet and already I love him to pieces. *^^* I was looking for a Kakashi one but his plush sells for more than thirty dollars, which is my plushy limit. I suppose I'll just have to steal Lance's Kakashi doll while he's not looking one day. . . Muh HA. *Shifty eyes* *Lance clutches Kakashi and cowers in the corner* I think I might buy an Escaflowne doujinshi as well if I decide to go crazy with my money, the little cheapass penny pincher that I am.

In any event, let us bask in the mad glory that is Gaara who will arrive upon my doorstep within one to two weeks. Muh ha ha ha ha ha.

Anyhoo, Christmas. That was good times this year. I got my pretty jacket and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" DVD, as well as the fifth season of Buffy. Huzzah! Then there's the regular fun wack of CDs and gift certificates which I plan on going on a splurgy shopping spree with for mindless things when I return from Hawaii. My sister also got me one the manga's I wanted to start reading -- coincedentally, it turns out it's yaoi which makes it automatically go from great to kick-ass awesome. I never expected to get a manga for christmas from anyone in my family, let alone it turn out to be one filled my beloved manlove. *Gush gush*

And then of course, there's also the tiny matter of HAWAII TOMORROW!!! ^____________^ C'mon, watch me, the poor little Canadian who has hardly stepped a foot out of dinky little west Canada, as I fly off to bloomin' HAWAII! *Dances as she gets leid coming off the plane by many the hot tanned men in skimpy grass skirts* That calls for another huzzah! (No worries, I'll bring postcards and jars of Hawaiian sand back for all, as well as sexy Hawaiian men for everybody -- yes, that's right, even you Lance! You can thank me after you spend the night ravaging your hot Hawaiian man!)

Oh, and can someone make sure to check in on Coleen every couple of days to make sure she hasn't drowned herself in her green tea? She seemed somewhat distressed that she was going to have to go a week without our daily inane phone conversations. (Don't worry, Carl-kun, maybe I can even find you some hot Hawaiian manlove. You must be strong! Be strong for the yaoi!)

See you all in a week! *Prances off*
