Monday blog on sunday night

my flight is delayed indefinately, i think i'll get to bwi by like 12:30 if i'm lucky, so I figured i'd blog tonight since i'll be tired tomorrow.

Thanksgiving was.....well....at least its over. This was probably my worst trip home and i'm really not looking forward to going back.

Anyway I did get to see a bunch of friends which was fun. I went to see slumdog millionare with joey. Great movie. i recomend it. I also got to see Coogan and paul...I almost beat them at guitar hero (me on easy, them on expert, and they still had like 1000 pts more than me). I saw a bunch of winsor girls too which was fun, and i did a lot of shopping with my sister. So that part was fun.

I'm glad to be waiting in the airport to go back to the dc area again though.

Minty Goodness

I've decided to do a second post today.

As most of you know i'm generally bitter about the holiday season. Even this year when i have so many holiday parties to go to and a very nice family thats letting me celebrate with them (and last two years the mann/criss/farmer family let me celebrate with them too!). For some reason I just dont like that season.

There is however, one aspect to the season that I LOVE. every candy is offered in MINT! its awesome. mint m&m's, mint hershey kisses, mint hershey bliss things. Its awesome! I have a whole drawer full of mint candy right now and i'm so happy about it.

Weekend

Sat night we had a pre thanksgiving dinner with a couple friends. That was a lot of fun and very yummy!! My personal favorite part was when annie and will had thier impression off. Will did star wars/lotr/snl impressions while annie did ET which was dead on.

Sat we looked at some new apartments and have some decisions to make now. Bigger/more expensive/better location vs even bigger/cheap/decent location. argh.

Gmail Goodies

Gmail offers a lot of goodies, and the newest is a themes option which offers limited color schemes and pictures you can pick from. For some reason some of my friends have different options than i do and i'm jealous.

I had up my away message asking which theme to pick, and i was amused by this exchange from me and leslie, even at a distance we are on the same page


(in response to my away message)
Leslie: Phantasea

me: thats what i have on

Black Cat Black Cat

First off, black cat's new sound system hurts my ears. Today i'm still hearing ringing in my ears and i'm not happy about this.

Joe and I saw local H and Electric Six.

Local H we'd already seen and last time it was a much better show. They were really into the new presidency. fine, thats exciting stuff, but for the most part the rally stuff is over till the inaguration, and DC people get it so much that we are kinda over it, but they felt the need to get us to chant Fuck George Bush. I dont really feel anger towards george anymore, he's gone, i dont want to worry myself with him.

Electric six was awesome. The singer started off in an awesome red cape, then for the second song switched to a purple cape. So now i'm thinking "wow is this guy going to have a different cape for every song??" fingers crossed!!! unfortunately that was the last of the capes :( But he was entertaining anyway. They also jumped on the political talk. They have a song about bush so he goes "what are we going to do?" thier solution....For the next 58 days he is still president so they can continue singing it. Then after that???? TIME TRAVEL. awesome.

I'm sure i have much more to say, but i'm tired and my ears are ringing.

Early morning

This morning i had to BE AT WORK by 8:30. Not just my office, some random branch in beltsville in some sketchy back lot where i nearly got lost. It was the worst. And if you think i didnt try and protest this in advance you are wrong. Unfortunately i couldnt get out of it.

But the good news is that i'm now re certified in electrostatic discharge.

West Wing

I use to love the west wing. Like every season until Sam Left, and then mostly liked every season after that until they got into that stupid election junk. Seriously, the worst.

Anyway, during sunday's trip to costco we found out that each season is being sold for 15 dollars! how could you pass that up? So we've started with season 1 and its as good as I remember :) Although i dont remember it visually being so dark, and all the characters hating eachother. I think at some point that all changes. Like the way that in the simpsons smithers' color changes after the first few episodes.
