Ugh, its only an hour into work and I'm already in a bad mood. Of course, I'm prolly cranky because I think I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night. I was sleepy after watching Entourage (though not because of it), but I foolishly stayed up to watch Robot Chicken at 1130 and just couldn't get to sleep until 2 or 3 for some reason. Of course, I should've tried to sleep/wake up earlier Saturday and Sunday to adjust to the new sleep schedule. I might've still been on evening shift time, thus I couldn't sleep until 2 to 3 (when I was normally sleeping this past semester). Owel, at least I'll be tired enough to sleep earlier tonight!

Though speaking of that Robot Chicken, how odd that I had just mentioned Turbo Teen to [livejournal.com profile] dashoka the other day (Well, he was asking about that show Automan from the 80s, which I do remember, but when I first saw the word "Automan" I thought of "Turbo Teen" first) and they had a skit about him. I was also going to mention MASK when he brought up Visionaries, since I remember both cartoons better because of the toylines, which holds the same for those shows lesser known than He-man, Thundercats, or Silverhawks (which were in turn lesser known than G.I.Joe, the Transformers, Go-bots or TMNT), like Captain Power, Robotix, Inhumanoids, Sectaurs, Bionic Six, C.O.P.S., Centurions, Bravestarr, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, and Spiral Zone. Who else remembers all those? Ooh, ticky box poll time:

[Poll #1045906]

Actually, there's one 80s toyline I can't seem to remember the name of. It was a bunch of vehicles whose schtick was that it had air powered missile launchers and/or came with an air powered pump launcher thingie to send the wheeled vehicles racing across the floor. And the storyline behind the toys was that it was some world where pollution had rendered the air inhospitable and the rich people were hoarding the fresh air so the good guys were Robin Hood types bringing fresh air to the poor people. (and I can't believe I have brain space wasted on all this crap)

Anyways, so in addition to voicing himself (well, his BSG character), Col Tigh also did one of the voices in that MASK skit? But it was cool that they got him, Helo, and Starbuck to do their own voices. And is it me, or was the Rainbow Brite one (didn't they do a skit about her before) extremely dark?!

Ugh, this week's invisibles, I'm stumped on #6. Given the guy is standing next to a giant candy cane, I assume its a movie that takes place Christmas time? I swear that outfit looks so familiar. It looks kinda 80s, Izod sweater over a polo shirt, so I assume its also an 80s movie?

Hmm, thank goodness there's only half and hour left to go. The day went surprisingly fast, though unfortunately not uneventfully. Phone ringing off the hook, having to test new stuffs, and a sitch with one of the upses that was fortunately resolved before the next round of storms comes through. Did some CCNA studying, reading up on the use of ACLs.

[livejournal.com profile] mike_b's mention of Starcom got me on a fictional weapons kick and prompted some ideas on "space marine" weapon design. cute for geeky boringness )
