In my downtime at work, I have been playing the Hollywood Stock Exchange. I am pretty much addicted. Anyway, yesterday I had the genius idea of starting a new account and buying up as much War of the Worlds stock as possible. This has a twofold purpose. 1) That stock is going to go up in price a bunch anyway because the movie comes out today and 2 ( Read more... )

I managed to forget the absolute highlight of my weekend. On Sunday I went to Kroger in the rain and the floor was wet and I totally fell on my ass. It was hilarious, or it would have been if I hadn't twisted my ankle. Effing Kroger. They think they're all cool because they moved everything around, but really it just makes everything way harder to ( Read more... )

I'm so bored that I changed the layout of my LJ. I guess most people read this from their friends page, but for some reason I chose the poo-brown color scheme. I like it. I am so bored. No one ever seems to be working around here, so there's never anything to do. I just sit around all day. I don't even have any interesting stories to tell. I was so ( Read more... )

So on Monday I caved (to what? Consumerism, capitalism, the American Way) and bought a TV and a DVD player/VCR. The latter is essential for playing two things. 1) The bonus features on my National Treasure DVD and 2) My favorite movie, X-Files: Fight the Future. And with that one sentence I have eradicated any shred of coolness that I have managed ( Read more... )

So I had a pretty pleasant Father's Day weekend. Saturday my mother, Hattie, and I went craft fair hopping like the nerds we are. I'm trying to think, but I don't remember buying anything. Oh wait, I actually did. I got a vintage dress, which is so cute. I really need a semi-formal occasion now or I'll never be able to wear it. After that, Hattie ( Read more... )

I got an invitation in the mail yesterday. My best friend from middle school is getting married and I've been invited to the bridal shower. So weird. At what point did I become grown-up enough for my friends to be getting married? Real grown-up job aside, I am by no means close to being mature enough to get married. Ashley, with all your wedding ( Read more... )

OK, so The Killers were amazing at Music Midtown. That's about all I can say about them. As I said to Katy on the way home, how can Brandon Flowers even be that cute and that talented without just exploding or something? Also, I enjoyed the Black Eyed Peas despite the fact that it was raining really hard. So, once again, thank you Jordan for ( Read more... )

So yesterday was my birthday. First of all, I want to say thank you for the calls, the texts, the Facebook messages, and the wall posts. That was really nice, so thank you. Pretty much all I did yesterday was open presents, go shopping, eat lunch (at California Pizza Kitchen), take a nap, and watch National Treasure. Yes, I now own National ( Read more... )

Perhaps it is the fact that I am alternately deaf in one ear at a time, but everything is so loud today. People should probably consider closing their doors, turning down their TVs, and having conversations (both in person and on the phone) at normal volumes. And I discovered that, as you walk down the hall, you can totally hear people singing ( Read more... )

Last night I had a weird dream. I know a lot of people don't like to hear dream stories, including me, but I don't care this time. So I was sitting in on Katy's Italian class, which was like four people, and it was on the 6th floor of the library, right next to the elevator. Anyway, one of the people in the class was Johnny Damon, but when he came ( Read more... )
