Working for the weekend?
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
