overdrive

Hey man, thanks for letting me know after I started up all that stuff at my desk.

Anyhoo, had the strangest dream (or was it a series of dreams?) last night. It was just way too long and had a huge cast of characters, a mix of friends and family and TV show characters. And I think it was storming last night and that influenced my dreams also. For example, one part of my dream, my parents had dropped me off at the airport, but my flight was delayed because of rainstorms. I think the fact that it may have been storming outside is why I could hear the storm so vividly. But anyways, since I can't remember how it all jumbles together, I'll just highlight the parts I do remember. I recall fighting off muggers in a parking garage, then saving this guy in a suit who was carrying his young daughter from another mugger. He was so thankful, he was gonna let me into his embezzling scheme that he was working on at the bank he worked for. Then I was on a bank line with Sydney from Alias and some other CIA agents, all in disguise. We were trying to withdraw money for an unscheduled vacation. However, I noticed some of the other customers and employees were acting funny, so I tried to get out, but it was a trap, and we were captured by these other CIA guys. They didn't want us going on vacation yet so they put us on a limo and sent us off to a mission. And then, I wasn't sure if I was watching an ep of Friends, or if I was actually at this national park with the Friends characters. I didn't talk to any of them personally, but it was like I was there rather than watching it on TV. Same goes for the part I was at this Bed and Breakfast with the Creek kids, Dawson, Joey, and Pacey. I remember talking to Katie Holmes on a bed about some stupid teen drama thing (like did she sleep with some other dude staying in a room down the hall?) and she said no so I kissed her. But I don't know if I was me, or I was in the role of Pacey (Yes, I'm a total PJer). I also know I went to visit Scott and Sato at their apartment and I also visited my old neighborhood. Actually, I think the limo I got in earlier dropped me off at the corner of 30th rd and 21st St, back where my Grampa's friend (the grandfather of Marc from Elementary's Princess?) used to live. Like I said, it was all very strange since so much was happenning spanning all over the place.

Actually, speaking of CIA agents, I think that hottie neighbor who lives across from me now is one. I mean, she's been living there as long as we have. And she never has the same look twice. I mean, its the same lady, because she recognizes me and Krug, but she'll have a different hair color, or her hair will change from straight to curly. Even her skin color will change! Not from black to white, mind you. When I first met her a couple of years ago, she was more of a hickory glaze (Carbon Copy reference for those of you paying attention). Then I was at the mailbox a couple of months ago, and saw this total J-lo kinda hottie. She didn't look like J-Lo, she was dressed in that style. But her skin was a more of a bronze. So I was all non-chalantly checking her out. Then I realized, wait, its her! Right now, she's more of a pale white with kinda curly hair. They all can't be the same girl, but they are! I mean, unless the first one kept on giving her cat away and they all drive the same car and speak with me as if they know me. But the CIA explanantion makes sense. I mean, she has that Delta bumper sticker, so she might be a stew. And what better way to travel around the world incognito? And Krug said he saw her dressed in a clown outfit once. Its just all very strange.

(no subject)

What's up with Fark listing the fact that Mr. Deeds was the #1 movie this weekend as sad? Saw it Friday night with Chris and Krug, and it was pretty funny. Yeah, Adam Sandler plays the same character and generally has the same plot line every time, but I like it! And I've always had a thing for Winona Rider. The rest of the weekend was kinda slow. Saturday, had lunch at Schlotzsky's and hit the stores with Krug to look for a new chair since Ben took his old couch. We didn't get one, because Krug couldn't find one that matched the current color scheme in his living room. I was like, "Is he for real?" Then again, I am kinda lazy and trying to get matching furniture sounds like it would take a lot of effort. While waiting for Chris and Grant to come over that night, played clips from a bunch of DVDs since I have access to Krug's DVD collection again. Watched the fight scenes from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I saw it once all the way through in the theater, but now I just skip to the fights. Its too long and boring to watch all the way through. Then watched some Fist of Legend. I think Jet Li fights more guys at once than any other martial arts star. Like here, there's the scene where he goes into the karate school and kicks the entire student body's ass, and the scene in Kiss of the Dragon where he was sneaking into the police station and accidentally wanders into the training dojo and fights 30 guys armed with sticks. He's pretty bad-ass. Of course, after watching the fights in Fist of Legend, I had to see the Matrix, since Matrix literally copied the fight scenes in homage to Fist of Legend. And after watching Crouching Tiger, I had to see more of Zhang Ziyi in Rush Hour 2. Her outfits were pretty stylish.

no rest for the weary

Interesting, I was wrong about there being a FASET session right now. But it turns out there's an OMED Challenge session instead. I was gonna remark about the crowds of people coming in to get stuff set up, but every time I started to type something, another dozen people came in. Its madness! Only one or two girls stood out as being real cuties though. But it was amusing to see the lame flirting type behavior going on between some of these new students. Some of them were trying to be all aloof and disinterested, going out of their way to ignore the person. Oh please! Dammit, I was supposed to check if this thing actually worked in an hour, but I misjudged the amount of time I had to jump back in the records so I can't check until 11am! Argh!

murph

So that thing I had to check at 11, it still wasn't working. I checked again at 1115, and by this time was real suspicious. So I check with the bosslady, and she calls the head of TS, and they're already aware(!). Luckily, its a quick fix, and the thirty or so I did are queued and should be fully working later today or tomorrow. And I was just on the phone with a customer for 20 minutes walking them through something that I didn't even think I knew. I'm impressed with myself. I'm not as clueless as I think.

whelmed

Ack, there's so much going on right now that I'm losing track of what I need to do! Slow down world! Oh, and I just realized the girls on those tours going around right now are prolly juniors going on seniors in HIGH SCHOOL, so I shouldn't be trying to check if there are any cuties among them.

Oh, and it was brought to my attention last night that I oft speak about ccv('Inappropriate!') subjects like sex in public. Well, not sex in public. I mean, in public (or places that are considered "family establishments"), I often (and too frankly) speak about inappropriate subject matter like sex. Is this true?
