Yesterday

I had forgotten to make any postage yesterday, even though I had some things to say. But I had gotten caught up in this and that. Anywho, I cannot believe I didn't wake up until noon yesterday. I guess its expected given how little sleep I got Friday through Monday, but it was still shocking to wake up and see 1151 on my alarm clock.

I had some pretty strange dreamage. I dreamt I was actually on a soon to be cancelled TV series. Not as an actor, but a character. Everyone else was acting normal, but I somehow knew that we were really on a TV show, and there were only a few eps left. And I still don't understand what it was about, because there were parts that were kinda medieval, and the townspeople all slowly getting possessed by monsters. I remember this guy, who seemed very much like Raven from Zoids testing the defenses of this giant cathedral, and he seemingly got caught, but it was like a magical shadow that he was scouting with, not his actual self. Then, I was in the cathedral, and it was like a school library, and I remember I was looking for my dorm roommate and there was the big championship football game that we won, and in the post game celebration, I was talking to other students about what was gonna happen after everything ended. It was all quite strange.

Another reason I didn't like waking up late was because that means I wouldn't be able to have lunch until I got ready, and you know how long that takes me. For some reason, I find it difficult to just throw something on and run somewhere right quick and bring it back. I have to primp myself up if I'm going to leave the house.

Anyways, hadn't had a publix sub in a while, so I went there and made my weekly media play run afterwards. Heh, I think they know me by name there now. I got the latest Salvatore, "A Thousand Orcs", as well as SS3. I was a little hesitant to buy that, since I was afraid the Media Play cutie might get all offended given current events and be all "How could you!?" Owel, I think I should ask her out one of these days. I mean, she doesn't seem disinterested in me at all, and there's a little flirting going on. Then again, it could be just a repeat of the Jennie the waitress situation.

Anyways, SS3 is fun, it has original levels, as well as SS Ex. Though I can't believe I can't get past the hand glider level, having to go through the loading docks instead. The "High Noon" strategy doesn't seem to work. Mebbe I should kick up the off speed. And increase the reticle size as well. I'm thinking around 35, that would put it at 85% of default. I especially like the casino level. Its mostly CQB, and the boss on this giant fast spinning roulette wheel along with some hostages. I know I can do this so easy if I hit the zone. Its weird, because I don't think I can do it with any conscious effort, it would be all reflex and instinct. I mean, its just like the spinning wheel in Police Trainer. I'm not even consciously aiming or anything.

Girls on Film

And now for the other side of new Tuesday or whatever. I enjoyed Buffy. I find I like Azura Skye with the blonde hair nowadays over the short black number she had on "Zoe.." And I'm never skeptical about the heart irregularity thing, as that actually happenned to someone in my school. I remember it well because I had put my foot in my mouth. I'm sure I've told this story before, but for those who don't know, it was freshman year, and they had announced this girl had collapsed during gym. So, when ultra-honors science class rolls around, the guy who sits next to me asks, "You don't think she's going to die?" And I was all, "Certainly not!" I thought it was just some weird exhaustion thing, certainly not something lethal. But at the end of class, they made the announcement, she was dead. I found out later it was a weird heart irregularity thing, valve not in the right place or something. But anyways, it was a good ep. And is it wrong for me to think Dawn is kinda hot?

Next up was Gilmore Girls. I dunno, I agreed with that Shane girl's statement saying how something is a word because she just said it and that's how they're invented. (Even though that was just something to show Jess and Rory are meant to be together) After all, I do that all the time. My high school English teacher would kill me, because she can't stand that sort of thing. I mean, its not that I'm ig'nant. I'm fully aware I'm using things wrong. I'm just trying to put my own spin on English. Anyways, I wasn't really liking Alexis Bledel in the "Tuck Everlasting" commercials, but I think she looks her best whenever they have her in her uniform after school. That hard day of class look suits her well, and the uniform doesn't hurt either. And Lane is way cute, especially with the glasses. And I need to IMDB the bandmate that she likes, because I know I've seen him before. (which reminds me of BtVS, how could someone not know what google is?!)

Anyways, I really loved last night's Smallville. Kristin Kreuk has been looking totally mad cute these past few eps. My likeage level is up in the "Katie Holmes latter half of Season 3 Dawson's Creek" range. I would even say it surpasses. And I thought I recognized the blonde, she was Courtney on Roswell! Ah, Roswell, it peaked mid-season season 2, but they had to ruin it by making Tess the villain behind it all. It made no sense. I was absolutely skeptical. But I digress. Evil Clark was fun. And is it me, or did the Clex-age seem even more blatant than the "Heat" ep two weeks ago? Man, there's more innuendo than the Faith/Buffy stuff. Which is pretty ironic given in this ep, Clark finally kissed Lana and tried to pursue things with her. Anyways, there was a part of me that was thinking it would be totally cool if Lex had been for real and they ran off to Metropolis together, ready to grab the world by the throat. But alas, you knew he was just faking.

But still there's too much on Tuesday, and not enough on the other days. Something should move to Monday or Thursday.

(no subject)

Wow, I never drilled so many holes in all my life! (heh, not that kinda hole drilling!) I went through two fully charged batteries and switched to a heavy duty corded one. The heavy duty one shook me all up. Really, my left hand is all twitchy right now. (Yeah, the GMA is going to prolly give me shit for complaining since he had the same gig a couple of weeks ago) And thank goodness for hearing protectors that fit snugly over your ears without the top part having to be firmly on your head. I was worried about mussing up my hair.

But getting back to twitchy hands, I prolly wouldn't fair too well in the paramedic or bomb disposal fields. Which were both potential job interests when I was a kid. I remember in organic chemisty class once, we had to dropper something into this test tube and my hand start just shaking like crazy. The TA was all, "I hope you never become a surgeon!" It seems there's only one field that requires steady hands and precision that I'm perfectly zen calm at, but in that one, my non 20/20 vision hold me back.

But that mention of lab makes me reminisce of college days (Oh my, that was three years ago!) and the hi-jinks in lab. (Remember though, lab fun, writing lab reports sucks!) I remember this one time when this cute fellow chem E wanted to drink the soda samples from the spectrometry lab and we were all, "Gross, don't do that!" I mean, doesn't she know how unclean the glassware is? But she just wouldn't listen. Finally, the TA threatened me and her other partner (her equally cute roommate, no less), that if she drank it, he would fail us. That seemed to stop her. Nice girl. Too bad she already had a boyfriend at the time I met her. Who I don't think liked me all that much. I think he thought I was trying to get with her or something. I know one time where it was really evident was when he and I both had presentations to give, and his gf was curious if anyone was still in the presentation room. So she bent down to look through this grate in the bottom of the door. So her ass is in the air, basically in my face, and hey, I'm a guy, my eyes are hardwired to automatically look. So her boyfriend flashes me this dirty look and I know he's thinking, "Stop staring at my girlfriend's ass". He didn't say that though, instead telling her "Stand up, what are you, some kind of trollop?" Well, he didn't say that last part, but that's what he meant. I wonder what presentation that was? The only thing I remembered about presentations was that I looked pretty good in a suit. (Man, I am so vain.)
