I apologize to anyone out there who reads this blog on a consistent-ish basis. I realize I haven't posted a single thing since Thursday and, believe you me, it doesn't make me feel good to slip into the AO style of blogging. I've had a little bit of 'Blogger's Block' in the past couple days, I think somewhat due to a bout of mild depression brought on by the lack of Ithaca friends I had to drink with this weekend. But it's a brand new week and hopefully that will bring me a plethora of new things to post about.
I'm in a pretty good mood today, probably because of these reasons:
1. I finally finished the 1000+ page Stephen King novel, that I started back in July, before I went to bed last night (aka as the sun was coming up this morning). I bought the book at the airport when I was flying out to LA for Alex's cousin's wedding for something to read whilst on the plane. Once I got home from the trip I usually picked it up to read once I got in bed, but I wouldn't get very far before getting tired and falling asleep. So it was taking forever to get through it. I got right around half way through the book when I stopped reading it (not really on purpose, just kinda forgot about it). Anyway, I picked it back up about a week ago and finally finished it.
Thing I learned after reading this book:
-Don't blow up a huge Meth lab that's filled with propane tanks, ESPECIALLY if it's located in a town that's covered by an impenetrable alien force field, because it'll create a huge wall of fire that will destroy everything in it's path.
-If there's a virtually inescapable wall of fire heading towards you, but you don't have a fall-out shelter to take refuge in... grab the nearest oxygen tank and then hide under a pile of potatoes.
-If you were able to get to a fall-out shelter and there's only one other person there with you, and you decided to kill the other person because you'll be able to sustain yourself longer, don't tell that other person that you're gonna kill them. This will most likely completely back-fire once they decide to mount a counter-attack and you'll probably end up being killed yourself.
And lastly...
-If you DO happen find yourself in a town when an invisible alien force field lowers upon it and traps everyone and everything inside, and some cracked-out idiot DOES decide to blow up a huge meth lab filled with propane tanks and other explosive materials, and a huge wall of fire DOES destroy basically the entire town and everyone in it and turns all the air into poisonous toxic gas... BUT somehow you manage to survive all this and are clinging to life with barely enough oxygen to sustain yourself... just find the alien communication device that's controlling the whole thing and beg them to stop fucking with you, cuz this will probably persuade them to finally lift the force field right as you're about to die... and you'll live happily ever after.
2. I'm wearing a fresh pair of jeans, and I am looking shnazzy. That's right... no holes and no sporadic looking patch jobs. My lil bro works at Old Navy, which gives him a crazy employee discount at Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic. We happened to find ourselves in a mall yesterday in which a Gap store was conveniently located. I got a pair of jeans that were normally $50 something for like $25.
3. When I got into work today there were no emails that said I had to do anything. Also, there's this office communicator program that everyone who works here uses. It's basically the same thing as AIM or iChat. A little while ago I added everyone I work with (my bosses), as well as those people who work in the cubicles around me so that I know when these people are and are not at their desks. When I came in earlier and checked the communicator, every single person's status was either 'out of office' or 'offline' which basically means they're out of the office. It makes me happy when the people I have to work with or have to work near are not here.
So right now I'm just chillin in my cubicle bumpin' the new Kanye album with my feet up on the desk.
Life is good.
Notable events this week:
Ally G's return to the US and arrival in the Dirty Jerz
