grr! argh!

I'm very unamused today. First, I overslept, because the power went out and reset my alarm clock. Then, the cable was out and while it came back in time for Angel, it conked out in the middle of the ep. Luckily, I read the episode preview from Angel's Acolyte. So I didn't miss anything. Still, its annoying and the cable better be fixed by Tuesday night, since Buffy/Roswell and Gilmore Girls/Smallville are on the same time. Also, the cold weather is making my car act funny, and its not starting properly. I have to turn the key multiple times, and it fragged my radio/cd player and erased all my radio settings. Then, I come into work and find out that Jason traded out of weekend days for next semester. While its always cool working with Todd, it kinda messes up scheduling things. Todd had his vacation set up months ago. I was hoping to get that Saturday before Christmas off so I can go home early. Mebbe I can get Terry or Bill to cover for me. All these little things are just annoying.

I did beat Devil May Cry Sunday night. I'm still baffled that w00ter's having trouble, particularly since he has faster reflexes than me. Owel.

old posts

I was looking for something on my old posts archive for gtg and found this little snippet in a series of posts I made trying to convince Phat Joe to let me make a movie of his times as a Stingerette driver:

Hyperphat <hyperphat@phatjoe.com> was flipping the scripts because they spaketh:

You twist the truth! Make one an attempted car-jacking that you thwart, and the other the result of a car chase. And instead of homeless woman, make it a hottie teenage heroin addict. And you, the hero, decline her proposition but help her get the help she needs to get off drugs and change her life for the better.

Its all about twisting the truth. Once, I called my cousin up, and her roomie picked up the phone. As I was talking, she said "I'm sorry, you caught me in the middle of the shower." and I of course said "Laryngitis."and we hung up. Though later I learned from my cousin that she thought I sounded cute. So, the more exciting retelling of the story would go something like this:

I call, ask about my cousin, and she apologizes with, "I'm sorry, you caught me in the middle of my shower, so I'm standing here wet and naked. But you sound so sexy...". From here, I can say we talked dirty for five minutes and I got her so worked up, when the girl next door comes in wanting to borrow a book, she gets excited by the fact that she walked in on this nekkid chick, and the roomie is already hot, so they have hot lesbo sex.

weird dreams

Evidence I watch too much TV, especially Dawson's Creek:

(This is an old dream I had a couple of years ago)

So I'm in the boy's bathroom of a high school. I'm there with Dawson, Pacey, and Phat Joe. Anyways, this skeezy looking guy tries to sell us this drug that when given to a woman, puts her under your control. Being good boys, we refuse. So the guy leaves, and Dawson's all, we should tell someone about this. I tell them I'll take care of it, as Dawson and Phat Joe have to leave for a lunar mission. I volunteer to follow the drug dealer, so I leave the bathroom and follow the skeezy guy. When I leave the school, its my old elementary school. I leave the gate and am following the guy at a safe distance, but w00ter come up and tackles me from behind as a joke, I guess like Tigger. To make a long story short (too late) I lose the dealer. I run around the corner and see him putting his grubby paws on this girl Anasita, who's supposed to be Bill's gf. This pisses me off, so I rush up and proceed to kick the crap out of the skeezy-looking guy. He just laughs as I pummel him viciously, saying he'll get the girl later. I let him go, and he runs off.

Next, a voice in the background says, coming next episode, and I see this montage of scenes. One is in a space ship that looks very Enterprise like. Phat Joe and Dawson are there and they're in trouble, things are shaking, panels exploding, etc. Then there's this scene where Bill is playing the skeezy guy and his skeezy friends, and he ends up losing Anasita in a game of poker.

You know you watch too much TV when you're dreams have previews.

Oh, just in case you're curious, many times, the song under "Current Music" happens to be the video on MTV, VH-1, or M2 (whichever I happen to have on), since the TV is right next to the computer.
