No, Seriously...

This is my message to everyone on the Internet:



Seriously...get on that...

Internet Video Tuesday: Moby Edition...

Today, after checking my email and visiting my routine Internet haunts, I don't really have much to say.  That's not a bad thing.  It happens about once a week, especially now when I'm stuck at home (ish) and pretty much doing the same thing every day.  The only news at the moment is that I'm still working on my script.  I just passed 57 pages yesterday, and although the goal as of this calendar day is ten more than that, I'm catching up.  I think the problem is that I can write three pages in fifteen minutes, so I just assume it doesn't matter if I skip a day.  And then I'm 20 pages behind and I go, "I'm never going to make it.  I should give up."  And then?  I write 14 pages in a day and realize I'm not out of the race yet.  In fact, I'm over the halfway point!

Anywho, back to not having anything to say.  I found this video yesterday, courtesy of my amigo free, a.k.a. halcyon_vesper.  It's just fun, and after all the fun is over, it's especially poignant.



I'd play that game!  I'd have an extra heaping helping of fun beating the crap out of that boss who fires him.

Catch you all tomorrow.  I've got a 3:30 interview today.

Coffee, Anyone?

Today, I'd just like to say this:



Sometimes you just need a little Will & Grace to get the day started.

Birthday Weekend...

I had a fantastic birthday!  Friday night's party was a good time filled with Moscato, homemade Sangria, and cheesecake.  I ate too much, drank too much, and generally felt great besides being really full. 

Saturday Robb and I drove around.  No, really.  We decided to go to Sonic for lunch, which was about an hour away.  Then we drove around Chicagoland just enjoying the music in the CD player and the gorgeous day.  Taking 19 around the backside of O'Hare?  So neat.

And then we chilled at home, hit the arcade later that night, and decided to have a quiet night at home.  We blasted through Contra for the NES just for kicks, and then called it a night.

And yesterday was church, writing group, and dinner with my family at Yen Ching.  My mom gave me the contents of the family change jar all wrapped up by my devious little sister, and she gave me my grandmother's antique tea (sake?) set.  It was such a sweet and thoughtful gift!  I loved that grandma so much (we called her Gramma Gramma)!  Robb got me Wario Ware D.I.Y. for my DS and Marbles got me Mario & Luigi:  Bowser's Inside Story for my DS!  Sweet gifts always make me smile!  AND!  I have so many leftovers I won't be able to finish them all, but I'm going to give it my best shot! 

And today at 2?  After I'm all bloated on leftover Chinese food?  JOB INTERVIEW! 

Yes yes.  Oh, and I discovered the funniest video of all time:



Seriously.  I don't even have to watch it and I start laughing about it...oh my gosh. You might want to actually go to YouTubeand watch it, since it won't fit here, sadly.

And with that?  Have a great day!

Unemployed: Day 2...

So, after a night full of dreams about zombies, I made this completely unrelated video blog. It's kind of long, so I understand if you don't watch it, as it's just another video confessional dealy-o. Forgive my absolutely terrifyingly scary paleness. It's winter in the Midwest and I don't tan for fear of getting cancer.



Now I need to shower and put on some real clothes. And eat. Eating is good.

Winter Fun!

Just what I needed!  Some good old winter fun!  This weekend we went snow tubing at Villa Olivia in Bartlett, IL.  It's the home of Robb's winter job and the reason I don't see him for four months every year.

I went with my friends Amy and Kylie, and after a great breakfast in town, we made the trek to Villa.  We didn't get there as early as we'd have liked, but it wasn't too terribly packed yet.  Besides, this was worth waiting in line for:



After about two hours of that, we decided we wanted Robb to take us on the ski lift.  The girls hadn't been on one (ever?), so we rode down and then up. 



Up was...fun...ish?  Loading the chair, Robb sat in the middle on his side, leaving me NO room, and as the chair came around I was forced to scoot out of the way of the pole and sit on Kylie's lap.  We all screamed and laughed as they stopped the lift, and I got situated, thoroughly embarrassed.  Ugh.  You can't take some people anywhere!  Luckily, there is no video of THAT.

It was really a good time.  I certainly needed it.  And despite coming home queasy, napping, and then going to bed before ten o'clock, it was a great day!

My Two-Minute Commute...

So, I live blocks from work. I leave my house fifteen minutes before I have to be at work, and I'm ALWAYS early. I can't stand being late, probably because my mom was always late for everything.

Today I was driving, and I came to the intersection of two major roads. Watch what happened.




And I was late. Ten minutes later the train finally moved. But I got some great pictures of train graffiti.
