and I think to myself...

...when is this going to end? That was roughly 5:30 Friday morning. Better known as Black Friday. No not really. That's what I thought I would be thinking. It turned out to be quite fun really. I don't think we were as prepared as we could have been, but whatever. The good part is I felt like I put in some good hard work, and it makes it seem worth it. I have never yelled at that many customers in my life. It was FUN!

podcasts

Years ago when the whole idea of podcast came out, I was excited. I spent some time explaining the idea to my friends and anticipated its inception. I was disappointed to say the least. The amount of junk people can generate in this online world is incredible. Even the things I thought I was interested in didn't translate fully onto this format. I gave up for a while.

I remember a long while back when my friend Lyle talked about this nifty little program on NPR that plays every Saturday night. He listened to it whenever he had the chance. It's like old-timey radio where there are sketches and stories. I put that to the back of my mind until the theatrical version of A Prairie Home Companion came about. Later on I saw a broadcast on PBS.... and I finally made the connection... I became a sort of a fan of Garrion Keillor and found the podcast version of The News from Lake Wobegon most amusing. It started from there, and I've since moved onto The Writer's Almanac.

I have recently discovered This American Life. It is smart, funny, leaning on the side of melancholy, and ordinary. I find myself anticipating a new theme and stories every week. I think I'm a sucker for documentaries.

All Songs Considered is a show I have listened to on my drives up and down the coast. I never knew what I was listening to, but it was nice. Discovering music that is real. It excites me when something like this expands my horizons. This podcast helps me wade through all the crap out there and find something pleasant and surprising.

I think Fresh Air could be interesting.... I'll let you know.

prayers answered....

No not the rain, I didn't pray for that anyway.

I'm talking about the new flight path in Un'Goro. I have spent I think months of my life running to and from that spot. No more!!! There's a flight path! omg.... I am seldom so very happy.

something deeper I think...

So I saw him today. He came into my work looking for something.

A while since we had the talk. I thought I was ok with it, but I'm actually still really angry at him. I said hi, tried to help him find whatever it was, and I realize I don't want to talk to him anymore. I stood there fuming for a second and told a friend nearby the short version and got a hug. I felt a little better about it. An hour later I was still mad.

I've been struggling with this question for a while. Why not me? No he's not perfect. Resembles somewhat to what I was looking for, and distinctly not. Not exactly what I want, but frustrating not to have. It's the fact that he didn't pick me that's pissing me off.

It makes me question myself.

I have many very complicated issues. He had to go and screw up that one good thing I had.

I'm just disappointed.

forwardish

I have this really bad habit of not going to sleep until I'm totally drained. I did that last night, because I knew I can sleep in today.

I picked my classes for next semester yesterday. The only thing left is this one class I can't register for because I haven't taken one of the prereq yet. No matter, I talked to my professor and he said he'll probably be able to add me. I'm golden. So I'll have to wait for my graduation evaluation and it looks pretty good. Only thing now is the work.

I have five papers to write in the next three weeks with various drafts and revisions in between. I'm really looking forward to this winter vacation actually. I need a bit of a break. Mental break.

I finally got around to fold my laundry today. About time. It's one of those things where I just do half of it and get lazy about the rest of it. The crazy load of homework contributes to it too I suppose. There's like a month left in school and I'm thinking maybe I should actually work on homework ahead of time. I get so very impatient when people ask me how I'm doing with school. I'm doing good, leave me alone. I know what I'm doing. I do now.

My WoW account expires at 5 tonight. I have a new card. I'm thinking I'll wait until next week to punch it in. I need this week to work. Focus. Yeah that's not really going to stand, just an idea.

Dogma still rocks

It was on TV, uncut. I watched it again. Still one of the best movies ever. That is all.

Blame Halo 3

I think I know this guy... lol
