Menial jobs and bike rides

[lyrian]

Rode my bike to work this morning and after nearly an hour, my face still looks like a tomato. Sigh. I hate having fair skin. Still, I feel most accomplished and exercise-y. *pats self on head

Hee, you guinea-pigged a movie for me again! *snicker* I really want to see Casino Royale, though I've so far been scared away by the length. Why are movies so LONG these days?

Justin Long is a cutie. He plays the Mac in those Mac vs. PC ads [that probably only air here, thus the link to youtube]. I also hear he's good in Accepted, which I still haven't seen. I hope to see more of him (er, not in a particularly dirty way, hee).

It's actually not as long as it seems. The end drags, just because there are no explosions and the plot gets murky(er) but it's a pretty fast movie. See it one evening when you don't have classes on. It's worth a look.

Ummm, I know I'm gonna sound really dumb when I say this but... what's guinea-pigged? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

EEEEEEEEEEEE!! Mac vs. PC ad!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!! *drools*

I've heard he's really good in Accepted too, and with Ryan Reynolds. I wish it'd hurry up on DVD.

Heh, word I made up. You know, the guinea pig is the test subject? I just made it into a verb. It's a good thing, because it's very helpful. The test subject provides a handy buffer for the person who wants to have an opinion on something before they do it themselves. *snicker*

Hee, you saw those other Mac vs. PC ads linked there, too, right? Quite amusing, even if I am a PC gal myself.

That's an AWESOME word!! I'm going to pimp that out forEVER!!

I'm a PC girl too but with Justin being the Mac? I'm willing to bat fro the other team! :D

Your job sounds *heavenly*...although I did spend most of yesterday writing Christmas cards so that wasn't so bad.

Justin Long is known to us as "that kid from Ed". Heh. He seems to be known as "that kid from ______" to everyone. Jeepers Creepers is one of my faves, though.

[lyrian]

Heavenly? Getting high on white out, entering stuff into a database, pronouncing names wrong while taking messages and scraping labels off pens?
*shrug*
Takes all kinds I guess.

I did the Christmas card thing too. That was fun.

Hee! He sure is, isn't he! At least he doesn't have the whole cat-fighting over him though. He's just a few select people's boy. *snuggles*

I much prefer those little menial tasks like pen scraping to stressful "get all 30 pages of documents typed, printed and faxed/presented to the Buyer in *exactly* the right order or the contract will be void and you will be fired or fined or put in jail OMG!" tasks of day-to-day work here.

I was made give a minion the task of picking lint from the kitchen tea towels last week, though. Seriously. Nothing is more menial than lint picking.

Lint picking???
You're so totally an evil overlord.
