Fuck yeah!

Just because I voted doesn't mean we can skip everyone else. that and I can't weigh in on prop 8 with my mind powers. Grr. However, the promise of watching the returns whilst eating chili dogs and listening to Olbermann and Colbert/Stewart in stereo has me unnaturally happy with my evening plans, and I can always leave voicemails to my Californian hombres to do the right thing or pay the consequences of making me very very sad...

\(^-^)/-{GoBama!)

On a side note I think I've broken my F5 key today..

The cats have found a home!!

If anyone within reading distance is willing or capable to take in one or two female cats for a permanent home please let me know. Our apartment has decided to enforce it's pet policy and we are one toe over the line in terms of complying. We have Galadriel, a 5-6 yr old Female longhair, front declawed and extremely grey elven. We also have Starbuck, 1 yr old shorthair Female, fully intact but housebroken. This may be pointless, but at the very least I tried, right? They need to be out by Wednesday night, or they will be going to the Coon Rapids AHS for adoption. If you are capable but not right away we can make arrangements, within reason. Thanks :)

I am gifting my coworkers with Obama Papercraft..

Got it read it. Whew. My eyes hurt though.

Back to the Torchwood/Voyager cycle for me!



P.S.

Harry likes Treacle Pies. Aw snap!

New Heroes last night.. woo! It was very good. In the epic battle of Battlestar Galactica and Heroes for my shard of precious attention/affection I believe that Heroes is the clear and absolute victor. It's the difference in DMing a game for people who are really devoted to the setting, or those who simply want to RP getting smashed and/or whoring. Not to say that Galactica does not have it's moments- -scattered as they may be. My only hope is that the plot will reweave itself in a coherent and entertaining fashion soon... but it seems unlikely. Either way I have noticed a general increase in my affection for gaming as of late that can only mean it is getting warmer out. Maybe hibernation is almost over?

Side note-

Everyone needs to read World War Z. Josh I am looking at you...

mm mm zombies.

It is not the coldest it has been, but my tolerance is out the window. I can't wait until 40 feels like an arctic freeze. I reread all of my old LJ posts, and am glad I have progressed past quizzes.. I think. Still, I need to post more regularly so I can make fun of myself in 2 years more effectively.

Last night we went to Sam's Club and purchased a new chair, so I can sit like real people at the computer. Small accomplishment I know, but for the past month I have been using the pod- -my affectionate term for a makeshift pillow nest in the corner. My back is already thanking me :)So tonight is super productivity night! Last night was super geek night as we got caught up on Death Note (awesome) Naruto (growing up!) and Hana Yori Dango (mushy squushy).. I love geek nights. If you have not read or seen I encourage you to watch Death Note. It is an anime based on the premise of a prodigy teenage student who happens upon a notebook. The catch is the notebook is the gift and tool of a Shinigami (Death God) who grants the instant or incredibly detailed death of anyone entered into the notebook. Wacky hijinks ensue! It is very good, and is actually pretty unwacky. Plus the intro song is catchy catchy. In my next life I hope to be an angsty bishonen. At least for a weekend :)

I love when I realize I do pointless things like nod in agreement when on the phone. Or that a new conversational tic of mine has become saying "So it's that" to start sentences. Any sentence. I think my newfound deep, spiritual understanding of Japanse particles has wreaked unnecessary havok on my grammar parade. Spending Friday and Saturday nights subtitling videos of a country whose language I barely understand audially is just suicide. Still, it's strangely fun in a poking the cactus sort of way. Work was Monday part 2, but pulled through in the end. Oftentimes I think I would be better off just not asking questions and kicking out everyone for a week to give myself time to get everything done. It is something worth trying once it gets nicer outside, I think.

Top Chef finale tomorrow! Or Wii Sports night with the mighty midget. We finally got our Wii from Target last friday thanks to http://crayz.org/target_wii.php?zip=55432 and the might of my cougar (now with fresh tabs and oil change!) Alex and I have put some serious points on our profiles and suffice to say my 5 year old is a total phenom when it comes to console based sports. We need Wario:SM though to complete the geek. Soon...

So I managed to tear a contact by sheer Monday power. This is not a good reason to quit your job, but it almost worked. I wish I was still in bed!:( Always remember that when in a jam, and when you really need it Illustrator secretly hates you. It's true.

So when Comcast says "Please give us money" it is not a suggestion to be left in between the seats of your car for too long. No interwebs for me till Friday.. and thus I am deep in the throws of Digg withdrawl. The shaking makes it hard to functionally work on art, but I managed to scrape together some new character designs for TOP SECRET SUPER PROJECT ALPHA! ... Of course you can't see it since this is my work computer, and my flash drive is in the posession of our friend Der at the moment. Geez. I may as well be typing this on a speak and spell since I am so delightfully rustic as of late. I swear this is not a banishment of technology.. I'm just broke :(

On a side note: Top Chef 2 is getting less entertaining and feeling more like they missed a step and instead want to turn it into a battle royale for the ending. I almost feel bad for Marcel, despite his being an ass. But it goes to show you that talent and charisma are not always a positive combination. I was rooting for cliff, but he seems to be the real hidden jerk of the show. I think if not for some unfortunate soft-spined moments and lack of meat love Sam should be a shoo-in to win. Make it so.

iPhone FTW! Though disappointed in general for Apple not saying "For those of you who use iTunes to organize your meticulously hoarded Japanese Rock music we have a free phone waiting for you as part of our special beta program" I can forgive them for now in that Multi-Touch is no longer something limited to hentai games and has become a super cool feature on a sexy bit of technology. Too $$ for me ATM but still sexy. AppleTV is cool too, but realistically until iTunes gets a lot more functionality or they buy VLC my jDrama is staying right where it is.

Pirates need love too, Mr. Jobs.

Today is unofficial family sick day! Whee.. Patrick has surpassed my playtime in Okami, which I hesitatinly forgive him for. It is nice to take a break from further plotting our company's restructure/rebranding but I am unfortunatly stuck in logo-making mode since yesterday. We have a billion different products, some of which are entirely custom, and not one roadmap on how to unify them in a visual or comprehendable sense to the customer. I have made a ton of huge changes so far, but am only a tiny bit done.. which tasks me so. The site is up in skeletal yet functional form @ Here and has been well recieved so far **crosses fingers** With any luck I will feel better tomorrow and have a meeting or two to get everyone on track. Plus with new information that I will be at a trade show in Orlando a year from next Monday I feel equally inspired to not put our company on the map as dumbasses. But that's just me:)

Alex had a nightmare last night that two rocketships (one from space and one from earth) landed on him and dad last night. So this afternoon I was looking up the time on time.gov to tell him that he needed to go to sleep. Alex gets all excited and points by Australia and yells "That's where it was! the rockets fell on us there!!"

note the pacific landing locations.. how could a 5 yr old know that? My son is oh so heebie-jeebie inducing. Tomorrow he gets to give me stock tips :)

Oh what a great night..




SLeepy sleepy but wii news is on its way. I inhaled a #2 with a cherry pepsi like nobody's business refreshing the PA boards. Jinkies!

edit: stupid copy paste ftp links.. see steve i do know the tubes!

Alex starts school today! I am freaking the crap out.. but it will be cool by noon. AAK!

Alex has recreated our family in the form of popsicle wrapper samurai.. he is so hardcore.
