One Week
Holy shit. So, the realization has dawned on me that I have exactly one week until my first official work day. I have training on Friday, but eh. I can't believe how fast this month has gone by. It's freakin' nuts! I guess trying to clean the house up for the appraisal and then waiting for all the shittastic weather to go away is the reason it's probably flown by so fast. Yep.
I'm not too worried about the job. I guess it's mild anxiety as it's been quite a while since I last actually worked. Heh, yeah, pathetic. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time, I'm not. I need money and a sense of knowing I'm doing something, but at the same time, I'd be lying if I said I haven't enjoyed having a flexible social life. It's all good, though.
Sucktastic thing right now is the snow. I really don't want it to snow. At least not until after I've gone up to Seattle for my orientation. If it gets bad, I'm worried about getting up there. /pif
I'd just like to say that the Nintendo Wii is as epic as I thought it would be. Gabe and Jake came down to hang out and Pam and Noelle joined us a little later. Jake brought his Wii with him, so we hooked that bad boy up and Wii sport'd! As dorky as the Mii profiles are, they're pretty awesome. Especially the fucked up ones we made. Tiny Tim is by far the scariest one. I still want one, but I'm gonna hold out just a little longer and see whether or not any new colors for it are slated for stateside. I reallllly want a red one. I'm also looking forward to Twilight Princess, the future Resident Evil title, and Naruto 5. I'll have too see what else is coming, too! Hrm...I wonder if there'll be a Freeloader type device for imports. I hope it'll be like the GameCube one. So much easier than that mod shit for Sony consoles.

Thanksgiving was nice. Ted and I went with out parents to the grandparents' place to spend it with the rest of the family...or at least the ones who were pleasant enough to grace everyone with their presence. A lot of awkwardness on that side of the family, but some get along better than others. It was relieving to have our grandpa there after that heart problem scare in October. So, it was a lot of sitting around and exchanging "what's been going on in life" stories. We don't see that side of the family often, so there's always something to talk about. The dinner was epic, as always. Lots of good stuff. Watched some holiday stuff briefly, got our share of the leftovers bagged up, and headed out. Kind of a record for us really. We were there a little over 6 hours. We usually don't stay long, so it was cool. Despite the awkward "feuding", it's always good to see the family. Next stop: Christmas.
Hmm...I guess I'll go back to editing my KUBE 93 sticker into a PUBE 93 sticker. Later.

p.s. Two male news anchors at the news desk together looks humorously gay, to me. Ya know, nearly matching suits and the air of "happiness" about them. Maybe it's just me.
