the cutest baby i ever did see

i like seeing erika and david.  i feel slightly more relaxed.  i heart them.

my horoscope tells me that i need some rest.

i just finished a 40+ hour work week.  which would not be such a feat if it were not retail.  at christmas.  with near freezing temperatures all through the entirety of the front end. 

but i will get to see erika and david tomorrow, and stephanie is visiting me and brought this really great cd that we are listening to, bell orchestre. 

i have more, like photos to put up, but i'm just too tired to do a whole lot of anything anymore.

so the fab news is, i am pretty much trained to work over at the photo lab.  and laron is leaving to go to school in north dakota, so chances are i will pretty much get to work over there starting in january.  also, my photo lab pal owen is pretty much the coolest person at target, and we are going to talk portfolios, and he burned a cd for me because we were talking about music yesterday.  also, i will probably get a little overtime this week.

the bad news is that i spent ten hours at work today, and tomorrow looks to be pretty much the same.  and i am too tired to do much of anything, and i'm only halfway done with the historian, which is due on monday.

christmas countdown: ten-ish days.

i need...

someone with a copy of wet hot american summer to go look at the credits and tell me the title of the song that plays at the very beginning, when the counselors are partying it up by the campfire.  the internet is no help at all, and if i do not find out, I WILL LOSE THE REMAINS OF MY SANITY!

thank you.

death by office supplies

today was the quietest day ever at work, owing to the bad weather, so i filled time by getting some paper out and since some VERY NICE PERSON decided to put it on the top shelf, i was nearly killed by a box with ten reams of paper.  honestly, if i am to die because some renegade stapler comes after me...i would much prefer it if it were a copy machine.

"It would be most inconvenient since I swore to loathe him for all eternity."

(this is a slightly compromised version of what i originally intended to say.  it took me longer to get home than i expected, and then i was tired, so now i can't remember everything i wanted to talk about.  you'll have to forgive me for that!)

last night i finally got to see pride & prejudice!  chelsea let me leave work 15 minutes early, and i went by myself, which is only something i would do for a movie such as this.  i had some reservations about keira knightley being lizzie bennet for some unkown reason, which i think i may have voiced to laura, but i don't know what i was so worried about.  she was fabulous!  and this matthew macfayden fellow as mr. darcy was a pretty good choice as well, although even if he had been bad i might still say that simply because he was very nice to look at.  and i loved judi dench as lady catherine, especially in the scene where she comes to confront lizzie about the rumours of her being engaged to darcy, and i love that lizzie just mouths off to her, i think that's one of my favorite parts of the whole book so i was so glad to see it!  (they cut that out of bride & prejudice, and i know it's very loosely based on the book so really, who would be surprised.  but since it was in the deleted scenes, that sort of consoled me.)  the guy who played mr. collins reminded me a little bit of tim curry as the butler in clue, i think it was the apparel, but i just had to keep laughing at him!

then there were the gorgeous shots of the english countryside.  oh my gosh, if they were trying to make me all wistful and senimental about england, they succeeded.  it even slightly made up for the fact that they ended with these really cheesy scenes with a sunrise, and the ending one with the whole "mrs. darcy" bit that kind of grossed me out.  really, though, that is probably the only thing i can think of to complain about.  overall though, i laughed quite a lot, which is good because it's supposed to be funny, and i just really liked it.

i want to go see it again, too!  but i also want to see the chronicles of narnia at some point this weekend, if at all possible, so i think i may have to make some priorities.  plus, i need to find someone who would be willing to go with me, because i have to say that it's very strange going by myself, even as anti-social as i am feeling.

(tee hee!)

the elven pirate-ninjas book club

wouldn't that be a fabulous name for a book club?  especially one dedicated to irreverence.  although it would be even funnier if it was a super-serious book club with a name like that.

and now, for something completely different...

let it snow

head gamez

i woke up in the middle of the night stuffed up and my ear hurting.  i couldn't find any pseudophedrine, even though i know i have some, so i took some benadryl allergy.  i figured even though it won't help the congestion, at least it'll knock me out.  and today my head hurts and is spinning, and i feel a lot like crap, but i will go to work anyway.  i could sleep for a week.
