sunday

whoop. hween is really cool. .in general. best holiday of all. i still like t-giving, but more because it's tasty. though i could do without the mashed potatoes. definitely. i htink the best part of h-ween is the h-ween simpsons episodes.. mostly the old ones.. but i'll give tonight's a chance.. in other news, this afternoon i was flipping through the channels and found bill clinton talking to a book group or something in texas.. he was telling stories about economics, because either he wrote something about economics aprticularly, or it was the question of the person in the thing.. anyway.. it was absolutely fascinating. he told a blood chilling tale about what would happen the day China, Korea, and Saudi Arabia (and so forth) decide to stop financing our government's debt. becuase if we are too poor to import their stuff and make it worth their while, they won't do it.. anyway.. excellent.. it was brilliant.. i'm sad he can't be president again.. because we haven't had a president that smart and not greedy in a while.. and i'd like to go back to that.. i've always considered greed the primary motive behind this group of conspiratorial leaders we have now.. and look how moral and upstanding they all are.. well.. anyway.. enough of that... pblop.

thursday...

it's finally thursday.. i guess no one really counts down to thursday. i guess i don't even count down till thursday. but i'm happy because this week as i've been driving cat to work and back, she's had a lot of extra work, meaning she'd like to leave late every day.. so today is the last day of that for a week. because she is on vacation until next friday. so that's awesome. buhrouglhjsl. no nightmare last night.. though i did have a dream about a new risk game board, that added some extra connections (between south america and australia.. despite them being very far apart. and some weird hugger mugger aspect where something is concealed in a dossier or something (like clue) and as you play, you unravel the confusion.. blah blah blah. ok. gonna go to work now.. well, it's not quite 5 am, but we will be leaving in a half hour i hope.

no nightmare!

so just as an update, no nightmare last night. so i felt much better today. hopefully this trend will continue indefinitely. perhaps it was the awesome reflexology appointment i had.. perhaps it was my realization that being stressed out sucks, and it goes away. perhaps it doesnt matter because i got sleep anyway. very good. ok. tonight i will attempt to have another good sleep..

whoop

i gotta go to work soon. i had a scary kind of dream last night. i think.. it was disturbing.. i have had one every night for a week i guess.. but i only remember three at the moment, no, four. maybe i need to lay off the halloween for a bit.. no, i'll just have to live through them.. so long as mr. Krueger isn't trying to kill me in them i'll be ok. maybe i have the night terrors, like it seems everyone else in my family does.. or maybe there's some dirty ghosts in my house trying to make me afraid to sleep. who knows.

i wouldn't say i had a very good day today. there were good parts.. but overall i'm left with a dissatisfied feeling. I had to present three modules of material to our consultant in front of a portion of the rest of the class. i felt confident up until the moment i started talking and it occurred to me that, yes, i know all of this backwards and forwards, and no, i should still be reading it off the prepared talking points. seriously... i tried to just get through the stuff, and i do know it all, but the circuitous route i took to explain it just doesn't work for a room full of people who heard all the main points 7 times in turn for the past 6 hours. so even though i passed... i don't feel satisfied with the perception of my understanding of the material. if the consultant had, for instance, engaged me in a detailed conversation about applying the stuff i would have been more comfortable with it. anyway.. i just complain. also, my car battery seems to have expired.. it was corroded with reddish/pink stuff.. not rust.. no good. so it impedes my freedom considerably. ok. anyway. there's some updates. i haven't filled in any gaps from last week.. maybe later. but goodnight anyway.

sunday again

it's sunday again.. .. i've got too much going this week.. not like last week.. becuase last week was just one thing.. all week. this week is a billion things each day. and only a couple weeks till h-ween. that's alot of the stuff.. something something. ok. well. i'll just have to post and update more when i have time. when will that be? i would like it to be before next weekend. anyway. no time now. gonna go.

wumbly

so it's tuesday. i hope. if it's not.. well, i would be confused. So today work was fun.. but exhausting. i might be getting used to these things.. which is good.. anyway. no one isknowing what i'm talking about .. i'll talkabout something else. can anyone tell me what's up with the word 'parity'? it has way too many meanings.. but all of them seem really unuseful for normal conversational use. i guess i just think that's interesting. i'd like to say right here that the adam corrolla project is pretty intertaining. i'm gonna go now.

Rockin something. I'm at work. kind of. not really at work. it's 5:18, or so, and i'm in a hotel.. in redmond for some reason. so yeah. it's rad. this place is uber nice.. and i'm not bored at all.. and i've had some tasty food.. and a good walk.. and tomorrow is gonna be super fun.. then the next day will be super tiring, and the day after that will be overkill, and then friday will be easy and i'll go home.. this is cool. and i have this high speed dingledongla, and i can post to this deal and write and read email business. but only at night.. and when i'm not watching le tv to clear my head. ok. good evening all, i'm off to dinner.

today morning

it is very early.. 5something, before i leave.. it's quiet.. except for the sounds of cat taking a shower. that's a nice thing.. it's a good morning. i will be leaving momentarily, but i thought i had time to post. not much to say, but oh yeah.. the supreme court will be looking at that oregon assisted suicide law.. interesting news eh? it's funny the way a big group of people who claim to 'not want the government telling people what to do' would really like the government to tell people what to do in that case... isn't it?

ok.. so i think every one needs to know that right now Cat and i are watching a movie.. one Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. no.. there's no additional punctuation for clarity's sake. How many movies have you seen where the sound is wicked awesome, and the plot leaves absolutely nothing to be desired? 1? maybe 2? well, this won't add any to your list. i'll say this. Jesus is an earring-wearing Canadian hipster driving back to kill some vampire lesbians. now, don't get me wrong. their choice to use "ladies of sappho" as the prime vampire targets is not homophobic.. there's an early remark by either jesus or some random [spike mohawked] priest that it's not the church's place to judge. there's altogether too much quoting of the bible.. i don't mind it in christopher walken prophecy movies, but i don't like hearing dirty lookin Canadian street punks quoting scripture. something's just creepy about it. somewhere in here is the "god of Mexican wrestling" ... Strongbad anyone? anyhow.. suburban Canada looks beautiful, if that changes anything. and Cat wants to recommend that several people see it. I won't go that far. when i was younger i made everyone i knew watch Brazil with me.. which is good.. but not that good.. this is much worse.. not like dead alive.. no not at all..

compyorble

hoohah. it's back . 8 days from original call, very prompt considering mail times and the fact that i called on a sunday. then tuesday my box came, then wednesday it was picked up by DHL and thursday they got it, and today i got it back. that rules. and my computer is quieter, and has'tn overheated at all. i think i'll write them a nice note.. somewhere other than my blog, because where i work, people sometimes say nice things about the job someone did, and it's very big news. after all the mistakes that get called out, not that i have those alot.. anyway..

on the art front.. way more work than i expected. and we're too busy preparing for pretendmas. or halloween as normal people call it... jon.. i don't know what day it will be, i think saturday right before hween. so save the date y'all.

sunday sunday sunday

juh. it's sunday. i wanted to get a new desk today.. so that we could get these computers on similar desks.. and not have this giant pile of clutter monopolizing the wall in the corner. i think we should spend some time finding art for our walls. our downstairs walls have stuff.. my map collection.. but no other walls in our house has any art on them. i like having something to look at.. on the walls. i noticed that about Chris's house.. there were cool things on the walls. very cool things. so i want to find some chinese calligraphic art.. because we have very long stretches of walls up here.. and i think that would be cool. well see if we can find one.. anyway. gurblump.
