mood: bored

The supervisors say that we will know where we are going "by the end of the year" now. It was the 11th, then got pushed back. Its retarded, just let us know. Sucks that we all gotta split up. I made some really good friends here. Oh well. That house is gonna be great. I'm really thankful for everything that Leela's parents have been doing for us. I wish I knew how to thank them. Well I guess I can take really good care of Leela. :3 I did get her a bunch of presents for Christmas. I wanted to get her the nook but couldn't really afford it right now. But I think I got her enough things that will offset that.

tl;dr - Work sucks and I'm extremely thankful for everything I have!

I drank the koolaid and I'm on facebook.  Think of that of like a newer livejournal.  :D

So go....over there ----->

Oh hay, I should probably say that I'm engaged to Leela if anyone missed that.  >_>
 

mood: awake music: Ending of a Documentary

So I'm here at work on my thursday, the end of my thursday at least.  Woo.  Dont really have plans for my 'weekend'   (wednesday and thursday) but we'll see whats up.  I finally got my own desk at work, no more seat sharing.  Its nice having your own place to have your own pictures and things.  I have my NES sprite guys on my little metal cabinet that I have.  Work is the same ol thing.  I take calls (maybe 2-4 a day depending on the day) and work tickets.  I've really been starting to get my ticket count up.  I still find myself easily distracted, and that sucks.  Lately though I find if I have music or something to listen to while doing work, I will do my work much much faster and not get distracted.  

I've been subsequently been listening to a lot of documentarys.  Mostly about various things, people, events.  I've listened to Michael Moore's Sicko (which was really good) and other documentarys about white supremacy, black (!) supremacy, the family that protests at funerals for soldiers dying in Iraq, Holocaust deniers, and much lighter things like ufo enthusiasts, and the making of Tetris.  Its been depressing at times, but really informative as well.  You watch these people being interviewed and they think they are absolutly 100% right about thier specific cause.  Its as if they have obtained this knowledge of the truth and any information to refute it is blasphemy.

Anyway, Leela and I went to Wildwood last wednesday.  We tried to see Harry Potter in imax, but they were sold out days in advance.  D:  But we went and did the rides and stayed at the beach a good 4 hours with my family, which was nice.  We left wildwood the same night because we had to share a tiny bed.  Haha.  I haven't played WoW in about a month or more.  Leela and I just got to a point in the game where it was apparent that we had to spend a significant amout of time to progress further.  It just wasnt as fun as it used to be.  Everything was old and we leveled multiple characters near the level cap.  As far as gaming goes, I have been playing my 360 and have been playing Gears of War with Kirkus.  We beat it on normal co-op, and look to beat it on hardcore soon.

We have a netflix account at the townhouse as well.  Its nice to rent really obscure and awesome movies.  Been renting and watching movies that I havent seen before.  Ones that I know I should have seen just for the pop culture references.  So far we watched The Shining, Scarface, Clockwork Orange, Transformers the movie (Animated!), and lots of others.  Harry Potter 5 was a great movie.  Lots of action at the end.  I wish I could of read book 6 again before book 7 comes out on friday.  Leela is gonna play hookey from work for the midnight opening!  :O

Oh yea, Leela and I have been making NES and SNES sprites with perler beads.  She made the most so far, I did my my first couple of ones the other night.  Here's a picture of the artwork.  :D  Later folks

Since I have time Im going to try this again. Diana, Leela, Neil, Chris, Kirk, Alex, and I went and saw motherfuckin' SNAKES on a motherfuckin' PLANE on friday. It was everything I hoped it would be. I made little paper airplanes and taped small green snakes inside of them. I tossed them all at the end of the movie. It was glorious.

Chris and I are trying to get a place together. Jesus, you've heard that one before. This time we have a set goal date though, so thats a nice start. Its not too far out and not too close. Its a happy medium. I am trying to save money so I can pay off my car faster. Not paying $300 bucks a month is going to be glorious. Escpecially since that means I can put liability on the car and no more expensive full coverage.  That money can go to somewhere else....like rent!  Hooray!

I tried to get some classes in order last minute, ended up with Psych 101 and History.  Sucks that because of money issues (I need 550 by Wednesday) I will not be able to attend those classes.  Oh well.  Im trying to get a part time job instead because I NEED MONEY.  I applied to the Geek Squad in Bestbuy so far.  I get to be picky with this job since its a second job.  I figured either way I will be waking up and doing something in the morning.  I need to be more focused on what I want to do.  Im going to be first in line come November for spring semester.

On to more upbeat things...I'm going to be making THIS!


My parents recently got a new computer, which means I finally got the first computer I ever built back!  (GNOME)  Its an old 500mhz celeron.  I always wanted a computer that just plays emulators and dvds / movies.  Yesterday I got a slim PS2 (old ps2 broke last night) and was rearranging my consoles when I remembered that I had two NESs.  My original NES still works, but one that I bought some time back doesnt work.  So I decided to take it apart.  When I gutted the whole thing out I remembered this.  I then jumped on the internet and found instructions on how to make exactly what I wanted with my broken nintendo.  I can't fucking wait to build it!

mood: working music: Comcast Hold Music

Man, we tired and woke up at fuckin 4am to try to get there in time.  It didnt work.  I'm pretty sure people cut in front of us in line.  We did get to see Miyamoto though.  So it wasnt that bad.  I really wanted to meet him in person though.  I will be fuckin there for the revolution launch.  Make no mistake.

I'm going to try to start posting these entries on myspace and LJ.  Its just a copy and paste anyway.  Time to get back to work for now.  Mondays suck.

mood: excited music: OMFG LETS GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!

Dude, Advent Children was the best fucking thing ever.  EVER!

So Leela and I went to Baltimore and went and saw Gabe and Tycho on Saturday.  It rocked, they signed my DS and gave me a free DVD because I was wearing one of thier shirts that they never saw in final form before.  Then me and Tycho talked about the Nintendo Revolution controller and an east coast PAX happening for about 30 mins.  It rocked hardcore.

BUT OH MY FUCKING GOD!

Oh shit, I pulled some strings at work and I'm going to meet the father of fucking gaming on Sunday.  Fucking Shigeru Miyamoto in NYC at the nintendo world store.  I...I'm so fucking excited.  I dont know what to do with myself.  This sunday I'm going to meet him.......him.

This comic from earlier in this year will more then likely sum up whats going to happen.

Summer is over already?  Fuck.

So anywho, my parents met Leelas parents yesterday.  It was weird but it seems like everything went well.  My parents commented that they liked her parents and they had a good time which is good.  We went and saw the Transporter 2.  Never saw the Transporter 1.  It was alright.  I got some new clothes from H&M also.  Im gonna look supa snazzy now.  This entry sucks.  Nothing really cool happened this week.  Just boring work.  Snooooooooooooooore.
