I wuz hit by a Nun.

2008-07-29T21:46:00.000-07:00

No, seriously.

I was in a little fender-bender a while back. A lady wasn't looking where she was going and changed lanes into me.

She left me a voicemail asking for the name of the station where I made my police report, and put a "sister" in front of her name.

I think I was hit by a nun.

Huh.

Also, a word of warning:

Watch where you're going, or before you know it, you'll have caused $3200 worth of damage to someone else's car.

(Good thing I'm not paying for it!)

I found this.

I think it's funny.

It's not what you think.

O.k. I love my car. I love her. She's awesome.

And she's dying.

She burns oil, the fan belt has started to squeak again, sometimes it takes a few tries to get her started in the morning, she's rusted right through on the driver's door, she stalls if she's too cold, she's gone through I don't know how many O2 sensors and (this one is new) she blows a fuse when I put the right signal light on.

It's time to let go. I know.

But she was a good little car; and, for the most part, quite reliable.

I will probably have her replaced by the end of next week.

In the meantime, I'm going to figure out how to get around the city with only left turns.

It Burnz!

2007-12-22T08:57:00.000-08:00

It was like a train wreck... I couldn't look away. I can't believe I used to love crap like this...

Halfway through I wanted to scream, "MAKE THE BAD MEN STOP!"

Brace yourself.

She'z Leaving

2007-12-08T10:08:00.001-08:00

My best friend when I was growing up was a wonderful girl named Melissa. We met in the second grade and were the best of friends all the way through our first year of college together. We even almost killed each other as roommates. Good times.

She's getting married in January. He's a wonderful guy, he and I became very close friends when we were at school together. They make a great couple.

I just got the official invitation in the mail; there's a comment at the bottom:

"Because we intend to settle overseas, monetary gifts would be appreciated."

Overseas. They're leaving.

I hardly get to see her or talk to her anymore as it is; now she might end up on the other side of the globe, even farther away.

I'm going to miss her so much.

I found this one again today.

Can anyone explain to me why I still laugh my butt off at this?

Sometimes at work, it'll just pop into my head and I'll have a small fit of the giggles.

I really need to print it out and post it up at my desk. You know, for those bad days when I really need a little escape into a happy place.

Dammit, Dammit, DAMMIT!!

I missed a show.

I had a ticket for The Diary Project today. I checked the ticket when I got up this morning to confirm the date and time. This was my first mistake. I was newly awake and my brain was clearly not in Full Function Mode yet. I read 12 pm as midnight and not noon. So, thinking I had plenty of time, I toodled about my place, checked my e-mail, etc. Suddenly it dawned on me... Noon!! I looked at the clock... 11:53.

So there I was, standing in my kitchen, still in my pyjamas, unfed, unshowered and now very unhappy.

DAMMIT!

I'm not upset that I can't refund the ticket; I have no qualms about giving the artists my money. I'm upset that I didn't get to see a show I wanted to see, and watch a performer I wanted to watch.

I'm sorry, Marliss. I had a moment of stupidity and I missed your show.
I hope it was a good one anyway.

Ok. Guys, I don't know if this happens in your changerooms or not, but it certainly happens in the ladies changeroom.

Why is there always the one lady in the shower who has no shame and a very unflattering body type?

Guaranteed, every time I go to the pool there is always the one lady in the shower who is either morbidly obese or skeletally thin that is just nekkid as all getout and doesn't care who knows it!

Why??? I don't want to see your nakedness! I don't even know you!!

Like this one time, when I was much younger, I was heading back to the changeroom after a swim, and there was this Very Large lady in the showers, naked and soapy. But the shower she was using was in full view of the public hallway, where everybody could see her. Ew.

And today, this lady who was showering next to me was mostly bones. I could see all of them, because she was lacking in a bathing suit and any kind of body fat.

I know what you're thinking: "But Nez, you have no shame either; you change in front of people all the time!"

I claim that this is a different because a) I change my clothes, I do not get naked; and b) I am not usually among total strangers.

...

Or am I just being weird about this? I know that naked is natural, and beautiful; I happen to believe that the human body is an incredibly beautiful thing. But this showering with naked strangers thing just makes me feel a little uncomfortable. What's up with that?

Bruises, Aches and Sprainz

2007-07-09T22:19:00.000-07:00

So I sprained my ankle.

It hurts.

The Story:

ScottyBomb and I were spending a lovely evening at the home of Jugglepants and TheatreMommy. It was to be a night of games, fun, visiting and a fussy two year old. It was a very hot day and so we decided after dinner to have the games in the cool basement where the little one could watch Shrek and we could all sit in comfort. Right near the bottom of the stairs, instead of landing flat on my foot, I landed sideways, putting all my weight on my right ankle and consequently dropping like a brick. My glass of wine went flying and landed all over me. I didn't care much at the time due to the extreme amount of pain I was experiencing. By the time Shrek was on his way to Duloc, I (with a lot of assistance) made it to the couch. By the time Shrek made it to the castle to save the princess, the pain had not subsided; it was decided that I needed medical assistance. So off we went to the Emergency Room.

TheatreMommy, being a mother, did two wonderful things:
1) She stayed home with Shrek and the wee one.
2) She packed us a bag of things to do while we waited.

And it was well-packed too. Plays to read, books to read, a card game, a laptop...

Of course, now Murphy's Law would dictate that because we had so much stuff to do, we'd be in and out rather quickly. It took about an hour. Pretty quick by most emergency room standards.

The very nice resident doctor came in and looked at my very swollen foot, poked around it to find out where the pain was, and explained that because of the Ottawa Ankle Rules I didn't need an x-ray and that it was clearly just a sprain. (I said the the Ottawa Ankle Rules would be an excellent name for a rock band.) He said I should keep using the muscle and do all the other stuff you need to do to a sprain (keep it up, wrap it, ice it, etc). I was already feeling better; I walked out of there under my own power. Slowly, mind you; but still my own power.

We stopped for ice cream on the way back and even managed to get in an episode of Doctor Who.

I was able to drive myself home that night. But it took me 15 minutes to get out of bed the next morning. It took a while for my ankle to take any weight after being unused for so long. I was late for work, but I feel I had a valid reason! ;)

I've been doing really well since then. I'm almost walking like a regular human and I can wiggle my toes without them hurting anymore.

The bruises are quite nasty, though. Dark and purple down by my toes and on each side of my heel. Feels better; looks worse. Go figure.

And of course, EVERYONE at work has to ask me why I'm hobbling around the office. But my one co-worker said the strangest thing to me... I was relating the whole tale to her and when I got to the part where my friends insisted I go to a doctor she said:

"Of course they would, what with the liability and all."

...

I know, I was stunned too. My friends wanted me to go to the doctor because the cared about my well-being, not because they were worried I might sue them. Which I wouldn't, of course. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind until she said something.

I don't know who she surrounds herself with, but neither my friends (any of my friends) nor I are that shallow.

I don't even want to think about it.

But extra Thanks and Love to you three for looking after me so well that evening!
*Hugs and Kisses*

And the worst part is... It was a perfectly good glass of wine!!

I'm sorry, BlogWorld. I'm stupid busy for both this month and next month. Everybody is either having a birthday or a wedding. All At The Same Time!!

So my summer is going to be a little hectic, I think. Also, expensive.

I will do my best to update whenever I can. But sometimes, I just want to lie down and fall asleep as soon as I walk in the door.

Speaking of which, I think I'll hit the sack early tonight. And then I'll go to bed.

Dear Hollywood.

Please stop making shitty sequels to really good movies.

If you're going to make a trilogy, then make a trilogy. Don't make a single, stand-alone movie and then decide later to make two more sub-standard ones to go with it.

Now, I loved Pirates 1; it's still one of my favorites. But Pirates 3 (while still better than Pirates 2) was, to me, nothing more than milking a franchise for all it was worth. And now you've ruined it for me.

What I would have liked to see were several movies involving the same characters but with a different adventure each time. Take James Bond for example (not the new ones, the old ones); there are so many good Bond films, and why? Because it's a new story each time! It's always Bond, and there's always Q (or R) and M and Moneypenny, but it's always a new villan and a new adventure.

That's what I would have loved to see from Pirates. The ongoing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan. Adventure on the high seas! Swashbuckling, treasure, pirates... Steve! Keith Richards! There is so much potential for good characters and good pirate-y tales. Done properly, the Pirates stories could have a good long run in our theatres.

But no... you had to make it into a trilogy and drag the one story right into the ground for more than 5 1/2 hours total. Guh.

And don't even get me started on the blatant overuse of CGI.

So shame on you Hollywood! Shame!

Next time, maybe try hiring someone with an original idea who can tell a good story.

Nez Posts Because She Feels Like It!

2007-05-10T20:57:00.000-07:00

Ok. So I've not posted in a while. My bad.

I blame Crackbook.

Anyway, I've been wanting to blog about something that's been on my mind.

I want a change.

I went for coffee with Ninedoors last week (which was a great visit!) and it got me thinking; I think I need a change in jobs.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my current job. I don't loathe going there every morning (I loathe waking up, but that's different). It pays the bills and doesn't make me want to kill myself.
But it's not what I really want to do.

I wish so much that I could work full time in theatre. I want to make stuff; and I want to make stuff that looks cool!
Anything. Props, makeup, lighting, I don't care. I love all that stuff. I crave the knowledge and skills to do all that.

I don't want to waste my life and my brain in an office.

But I have no idea where to go and what to do to get what I want.

Also, I have a condo to pay for, a car that needs replacing and bills to pay. I can't just up and leave my current way of life. I don't really want to leave the city, I like it here. A temporary leave of absence is acceptable, but Edmonton is my home. Not to mention that I don't want to be anywhere without ScottyBomb.

I feel stuck where I am and I don't like it. I desire a change, but I'm unsure how to make it happen. I'm scared that if I stay where I am for too long, it'll make me miserable.

Augh! What do I do?

Ok Internet peoples! I am needing some advice.

I know I said before that I wasn't going to take another show until the Fringe, but I've been offered something and I'm very tempted.

HumanLoser has offered me the NeXtfest Shorts.

I feel like I want to take it; because on the one hand, it would be great! I would meet a bunch of people, get to work in a good space, and it would be a great experience.

But on the other hand, I'm not sure. It would be quite involved for a while and I don't want to get stressed out again. Bad things happen to me when I get stressed.

Advice? Thoughts? Questions? Concerns? Napkin? Bueller?

A List! And Some Other Stuffz!

2007-03-29T18:01:00.000-07:00

So I made this list a while back when I was stuck in a boring meeting that had nothing to do with me.

Things To Make Meetings More Exciting

A Marachi Band
Funny hats for everyone!
Presentations done in rhyming couplets
A blacklight and glowsticks
Hold it poolside
Free cocktails
Let people bring in their MP3 players
Dress code: Hawiian shirts!
Interpretive dance
Nerf guns
Recliners instead of office chairs
Make-your-sundaes!
Blamkets, pillows & teddy bears
Manicures/Pedicures
Hot tubs
Cookies
Balloon animals
Replace agenda with a page of jokes
Hire jugglers

On the upside, my reward for sitting through the meeting was a free lunch.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

So I've been sick for a week now. Sick sucks.

I can deal with the cough, or the runny nose. I just don't like dealing with both of them at the same time. Thank goodness for NyQuil. I think it's the only reason I've able to go to work this week; because otherwise I wouldn't be getting any sleep.

Did I mention that sick sucks?

Nez Rants About Work

2007-03-16T16:58:00.000-07:00

So I was having a great day at work: there was fun, there was lots of laughter, there was a pancake breakfast...

Things were going great until some guy ruined it for me in the middle of the afternoon.

The Story:

One of our receptionists called in sick today, which meant that I had to cover the front desk for a while. The other person in my department had already left early to make it to a doctor's appointment. This guy called the switchboard looking for some info from my department. I couldn't take the call while working the switchboard, and I knew there was no one at my co-workers desk, so I forwarded him onto my voicemail; figuring he would leave a message and I could call him back when I got to my desk. He did leave a message, but then rang back to the switchboard. I answered, and he told me that I had directed him to a voicemail and asked if there was anyone else I could direct him to. I politely told him that there was only one person there at the moment, the other person I could've sent him to was out of the office for the afternoon. He responded with, "I don't know what's up with you guys. It's only 3:30 and there's no one there! I wish I had a job like that!" He obviously didn't know it was me he was talking to, he only knew I was the one answering the switchboard.

It was all I could do to continue to be polite to him. I'm sure he meant it in good humour, but it didn't really come across that way.

What an ass!

Just because I wasn't at my desk to take his all-important call, he assumes I'm slacking off somewhere? I'm sorry, buddy, but I don't park my butt at my desk and not move for eight hours a day and stare at the phone waiting for you to call me. Sometimes, my job involves me getting up from my desk and going somewhere else in the office. Gasp!

I was just so taken aback by how self-centered his comment was... It ruined the rest of my afternoon.

And the kicker of all this?

When I called him back?

He wasn't at his desk. I got his voicemail.

Nez Makes A Post

2007-03-15T17:42:00.000-07:00

Ok. Ok. I know it's been a while. My bad.
Sometimes life doesn't always allow enough time for things like blogging and keeping up with webcomics.

Is anyone else looking forward to St. Patrick's Day? Anyone at all?
I'm super-hyped this year! I'm heading out shortly to pick myself up some goofy-type headgear to wear to work tomorrow. We're having a pancake breakfast you see, and I was asked to help cook. My response was, "Only if I can wear a funny hat." So now I have to go out and get a funny hat.
And then on Saturday, we party at the Chateau Creme de Menthe!!! I'm bringing my blender to make the Nez version of Shamrock Shakes! Good times! Drunkity drunk drunk!
Thank goodness they live stumbling distance from my house!

So I've typed away here without really saying much. And now it's time to leave, because I want to hit the mall right away.

I promise to have something with a little more substance next time. I also promise to post something in the near future, this was far too long between posts.

Thanks for sticking with me!!

Love!

I've been on a mission this week. And I'll likely be on the same mission next week.

I need to relax. I've had nothing but stress for several months now, and the results are now painfully obvious to me. My life is suffering from stress! Egads!

So I've put more effort this week into remaining calm and trying to relax. I've been taking it easy, trying not to let anything get to me. (I've even put that rude lady incident behind me.)

I think my major issue is that I worry too much about money. Or my lack thereof. Unfortunately, there is little more I can do about it than stick to my budget, which I have been doing. Mostly.

And this new pain in my neck isn't helping. No, seriously, I must have done something wrong at the pool on Wednesday, my neck nurts. A lot.
But, it's ok! I have a massage booked for Monday! (See what I did there? With the not worrying about it? Pretty good, huh?)

So I'm not going to let work get to me, I'm just going to plod along and get as much done as I can each day.

I'm not going to take another show until the Fringe. No rehearsal stress!

I will continue to eat chocolate. Many happy times.

I will try to get as much sleep as I need.

Speaking of which... it's time for bed!

Not Many Thingz to Say

2007-01-29T22:11:00.000-08:00

I was very proactive this evening:

I went to Aquacize. I picked up some groceries on the way home. Made enough dinner to last me through the week (so I don't have to cook on show nights). Prepared the salad-in-a-bag that I bought (I like mushrooms in my salad). I loaded and unloaded the dishwasher. I tidied up a tiny corner of my living room. I checked my e-mail. I caught up on my blog reading and webcomics.

I didn't clean the bathroom.

Now That Nez Iz Calm...

2007-01-21T22:23:00.000-08:00

Thanks everyone, for all the concern and loving encouragement. I appreciate it.

Now that I'm not so tired and emotional and upset, let me say a few things about the last post.

I was very tired and emotional the night I wrote that; and, looking back, I made it a bigger deal than it really was. After I had a good night's sleep, I felt just fine and no longer upset.

The basic story is this:

There are two very important men in my life: my boyfriend and my best friend. And for some reason, getting the two of them together in the same place at the same time is extremely difficult. That night there was a chance that it could happen, but it didn't. I was just feeling very disappointed in that and upset that I couldn't make it happen. It's really important to me that these two people get along (and maybe even become friends!) because they are both so very special to me.

And while it still bothers me a bit that I just can't make these get-togethers happen, I shouldn't have been upset at one of them for backing out; it was a legitimate reason. Sometimes, you just can't make it out.

But I shall keep trying. And I shall take your advice and keep expressing myself until he gets it.
And thanks, LizBird, for the funny story, it made me smile. :)
Also, if I ever need a warm beverage and a bitch session, I now have a whole list of people I can call! Thanks!

So that's where I'm at. Again, thanks to all my loving friends for your advice and concern for my well-being. Reading the comments on that last post was like having a big e-hug.

Love! Muah!

All I wanted to do was put a fucking post on my blog. And somehow Google has fucked up the login. The last two times I've tried to log in, it tells me I have a wrong password. The only way in is to reset it each time.

It just makes me cranky. Blogger was just fine until Google came along and started messing with it.

Anyway, what I wanted to post was a question to all my e-friends who have significant others and/or long term relationships.

How many times do you have to explain when something is really important to you before they get it? At what point do you give up and how do you not let it threaten your relationship?

I love my boyfriend very much, but this is something I've been struggling with since the beginning. I've explained several times that it's really important to me, but...

And I don't want it to damage the relationship, but I can't help it from hurting my feelings a little more each time.

Is it me? Am I asking too much? If so, how do I let this go and move on?

Traffic Woez

2007-01-08T22:14:00.000-08:00

Dear Guy In Front Of Me In Traffic The Other Day,

You sped into the intersection after the light turned yellow, so you could get around the corner that much faster. But clearly you failed to notice that there was already traffic in the intersection., and it wasn't moving because it was rush hour and the other light further up was red. You were then blocking oncoming traffic. That makes you a jerk.

And to the white rental car that ran a stop sign in order to cut me off,
You're an asshole.

I feel better now.

*Whew*

It's all over; and thank goodness. Now things can get back to normal.

On the upside, Shiny_Gal and I went for a lovely dinner and then had a great time hanging out! (I've learned that I'm not very good at Monkey Ball anymore) It was an excellent birthday present!

So I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas that was less stressful than mine, and a very happy New Year's Party! I know mine will involve a large amount of liquor!

Hugs and kisses, everyone! I love you all year round!

It'z Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas

2006-12-09T08:33:00.000-08:00

It's no secret that I'm not a big fan of Christmas. I despise stores that push Christmas before we can even start to celebrate Halloween. It's to the point where I'm sick of Christmas music the second I hear it over the mall PA system, because I know it's all I'm going to hear for the next 2 months. I don't like the concept of "you have to buy everyone you know what they want for Christmas or they will hate you." I can't stand that love, affection and friendship are now measured by how much money you spend. I've heard stories of people who were brought to tears out of disappointment in their Christmas gifts; and it just makes me sick to my stomach with disgust (Do NOT get me started on this one, I could rant for a while). It's everywhere; and after a while, I feel like I just can't get away from it.

Last Thursday, ScottyBomb took me to see A Christmas Carol. Go see it. Seriously. It was amazing.

For the first time it felt like I could forget the nasty, money-hunrgy, greedy, corporate "holiday" and enjoy the season for what it is: Christmas.
And a good thing too; I was well on my way to being a Nezbitt Scrooge this year.

So I will give gifts to my loved ones this year, but not because I think they won't like me if I don't. I will give because I want to, out of love. I will give to charity, because I believe in spreading love. I will enjoy the time I get with my family, because they mean a lot to me. I will cherish the time with my friends, and try to see as many of them as I can; because they are very important to me. I will eat, drink and be merry...

Because it's Christmas.

Hypothetical Situation:

You have a saying that annoys someone. They ask you to stop because it bothers them; and you do, because you care about their feelings.

They do something that bothers you. You ask them to stop because it bothers you; and they do. But then after a while they start doing it again. Right in front of you.

What does that mean?

Ohmagawd BEEZ!

2006-11-22T17:13:00.000-08:00

Wheeeeee!
Thank you to everyone who said they will come to my birthday!

Morgs: I put you in charge of bringing that bottle of tequila! And maybe your blender? (Please?)

Shiny, I place thee in charge of obtaining 3(three) of those fun, squeezy, lime juice-y things!
(the Heroic Trio comes through again! You two are awesome!)

Would it be possible for the good Doctor to bring a bottle of Cointreau? Also.. WOOHOO! The Doc is coming to my birthday!!
(I hope he brings his Peach!)

Allan, I sent you an e-mail already, but just in case. Strawberry jam! And lots of it!

To the Un-Blogga, your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to bring a bottle of Tequila and/or a bottle of Cointreau. Should you or any of your team be captured or killed, the agency will disavow any knowledge of an invite to this party.

Mighty Dorklord! Your loyal minion humbly asks for a bag (or two) of ice. Hail Dorklord!

Thanks everybody!

2006-11-15T17:20:00.000-08:00

My brain is all over the place right now. Please forgive all the randomness (for those of you who fear/hate randomness).

Ok.

Birthday Party!
When: Friday, December 1, around 8-ish.
Where: Nez's house (unless the RSVP list is too big for my little condo!)
What: Bring Margarita fixings! Margaritas are made from Booze, Ice, Strawberry Jam, Lime Juice, Orange Juice and Blenders. If you can bring any of the above, please let me know in your RSVP (I'll do my best not to run out of anything!) Or if you're willing to bring something I might be short on, let me know! If I can get more than one blender going, we can have a boozy one and a non-boozy one for the young-ins and the drivers.
Theme: It's Nez's birthday so... NO PANTS!! Skirts, shorts, sarongs, and underwears are all acceptable; just no pants. Anyone caught wearing pants will have them removed by the management.

We'll probably play some games, have some chats, maybe watch something (if we feel like it).

Please e-mail me and let me know if you can come and what you can bring (if anything), and/or if you need my address or anything like that.

Hope you can come!! It'll be fun! And full of blended drinks! Without pants!

**********

Why are people so afraid of needles?
I've never been scared of getting a shot. It really doesn't hurt all that much, just a little poke.
I went to school with a girl who was so scared of getting her vaccination shot that she passed out as soon as she was in the room with the nurse. Just the other day I got one in the butt. I'm due for a flu shot in the arm by the end of the month.
I don't understand what's so terrifying about them. Anyone?

**********

OHMAHGAWD!!!
I just heard on the radio that Ok Go is coming to Edmonton next Spring!
*Glee!*

**********

You know that song Chasing Cars by Snow Partol? Everytime I hear it I just want to be lying naked with my lover while staring up at something beautiful.

*sigh* It's a good song.

**********

Mmmmm. Those mandarin oranges I bought are good!

Ok. I feel that my brain is slightly less full now.

I think I'll take a shower and go to bed.

Who's that hoochie mama?
And booty slap and booty slap and booty slap...

Sorry, I sometimes get carried away.

But anyway, yeah. It's my birthday. Woot for me!

WOOT!

I think I might have chocolate mousse for breakfast. Because it's my birthday and no one will stop me! Bahahahahahahahaha!!

I love having my birthday...

Party details to come, I promise. Watch your e-mails and/or this blog.

Happy Birthday to Me

Egadz! A Whole Weekend!

2006-11-03T16:42:00.000-08:00

For those of you not in the know, Tuesday the 7th is my birthday!

Huzzah!

So... obviously there is nothing up for this weekend, or you would already know about it. But I was thinking of organizing a little sumpthing-sumpthing for next weekend (the 11th and/or 12th). But I wander about going, "What to do? What to do?" I'm afraid I'm at a loss.

Any suggestions?

(It is worth noting that I do have access to a chocolate fountain...)
(It is also worth noting that I took the 6th and 7th off of work, so if anyone is up for something on either of those days, now's a good time to say something.)

Nez iz Tireds!

2006-10-23T18:43:00.000-07:00

I've been only home long enough over the past few weeks to make the mess, not clean it up.

Consequently, my home is a disaster. I'm none too pleased. But it's my own damn fault. It's just that whenever I have a night to myself, I don't want to spend it doing housework. I want it to relax.

And I'm just sick of this paycheck-to-paycheck crap. Why on earth do I have to be so very un-good with money? What the hell is wrong with me?

I'm sorry everyone, I'm just a little down the last few days. Both money and schedule are tight, and it's wearing on me harder than normal right now.

Thanks for listening.

MSNversation with Nez

2006-10-06T18:40:00.000-07:00

This conversation was too wierd and wonderful not to share...

I was talking with a very good friend of mine on MSN. She was talking about work (I won't tell you where she works, so let's just call it BarStucks...)

Wahoo says:
but it feeds my addiction, so at least I'm not losing money

Wahoo says:
hehe

Nezbitt says:
i should work at booster juice and the marble slab

Nezbitt says:
i'd be 700 pounds

Wahoo says:
you should... I don't know what you're thinking not working there

Nezbitt says:
700 pounds!!!!

Wahoo says:
700 ISH... give or take

Nezbitt says:
well, it IS a rough estimate

Wahoo says:
if you hit 800 they won't make you leave your house anymore... they'll feed you booster juice and marble slab through a straw

Nezbitt says:
well... as long as it's not at the same time... my bowels would never forgive me

Wahoo says:
neither would the people manning the straws

Nezbitt says:
Hey, those are well-paid, highly trained Straw Technicians!

Wahoo says:
it's true, however, you do not have license to traumatize them... their training did not equip them for trauma.

Nezbitt says:
That's a Masters Level course. very expensive.

Wahoo says:
yes... and they just can't afford it... there is not enough work for straw technicians for them to afford that course

Nezbitt says:
well, if they hadn't flooded the job market, they wouldn't all be struggling for work

Nezbitt says:
it's just too easy to be a Straw Tech these days

Wahoo says:
you realize that you could help them out by working at Booster Juice and Marble Slab and becoming 700+ lbs...

Wahoo says:
their fate is in your hands

Nezbitt says:
and so would be my butt

Wahoo says:
Long Live the Straw Techies, I say! Long Live the Straw Techies!

Nezbitt says:
Expensive Degrees for everyone!!!

Wahoo says:
Here, here!

Nezbitt says:
Huzzah!

Wahoo says:
yippee

There you have it. I'm officially insane.

And so are my friends.

So I've noticed two things:

1) There seems to be a lot of sickness going around. I know I've coughed up at least one whole lung already.

2) There is a warm and fuzzy meme going around.

My hope is that the warm and fuzzies will help with the getting well part.

So, to borrow a page from several of my e-buddies...

Amazing Vacation Over :(

2006-08-29T23:09:00.000-07:00

I had an amazing vacation at the Fringe this year. Truly, one of the best years for our little festival, I think.

But I had to go back to work. And that sucks.

While the temp covering for me sucessfully managed to not burn down the office, I did have to come back to a whole pile of paperwork that is taking me forever to clear out.

And I had to spend all morning in a meeting that had nothing to do with me.

That sucked too.

Tomorrow I think I will post the list I made to entertain myself in said meeting.

Such good times.

Is anyone missing a towel?

I found a rogue towel as I was sorting my laundry. I know it's not mine.

Or did the towel fairy pay me a visit?

Hee hee, the concept of a towel fairy makes me giggle.

Poisoned?!?! OH NOEZ!!

2006-08-07T12:38:00.000-07:00

I have successfully contracted viral diarrhea. (I think it's a fancy form of food poisoning.)

I feel... like shit. I would never wish this kind of discomfort on anyone.

I called Capital Health. The nice nurse-lady said that I just really need to keep my fluids up (Thank you ScottyBomb for the Gatorade!) and make sure it doesn't get any worse than it already is.

So I want to issue this warning to all the people I saw on Sunday: You may have been exposed!! This virus took 24 hours to incubate (I'm positive I caught it on Saturday) and is spread by contact with bodily fluid. (Most likely saliva.)

So if anyone gets sick, this is your new mantra: Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate!
Get yourself some electrolytes!

So anyone I hugged or kissed or touched on Sunday, please be aware! I may have made you sick! Especially parents!

I'm soooooo sorry!!!
(I feel like the friggin' Outbreak monkey)

The 80'z

2006-07-31T16:36:00.000-07:00

So I went to the movies on Friday with Don Johnson.

Well, ok. Not the Don Johnson. It was RP. You look confused. I'll explain…

I called RP up on Friday to see if he wanted to do anything. He was going to see Miami Vice and invited me along. I was unsure until he told me that he was going to wear his white Don Johnson-esque suit. I told him I'd be there with a ponytail on the side of my head!

So we got dressed up all 80's: I had a belt over my t-shirt, multiple necklaces and bracelets, hair all over on one side, and mismatched earrings; he wore a white suit with the sleeves rolled up, a pink golf shirt and sunglasses. We looked hysterical, you should have seen us.

(We brought the camera, but, like fools, we didn't take any pictures.)

Needless to say, there were quite a few stares at the movies. It was great!

And Miami Vice, while not set in the 80's, was still a good movie.

Full of Memez!

So it's midnight. Am I in bed? No!

Should I be? Hells Yes!

It finally got down to a comfortable temperature in here! I can't go to bed now! It would be a waste of all this wonderfully cool air!

On a completely unrelated note:
I need to get me some curtains picked out by this weekend. Morgs? Oreo? Up for a shopping adventure?

On another unrelated note:
Ram, if you're reading this, I'll give you some clues:
We've been drunk together before.
I was at your housewarming party.
Wrestling is full of gay (especially Batista!)

Why I believe it's time for some other unrelated (and random) stuff!

I need a vacation. Anyone for Florida? Alright then, how about the Fringe?
Everyone should, in the near future, lay eyes upon my sexy-ass boyfriend! Rowr!!
On Saturday, my month without chocolate will be up!
Candy is good, but it's no substitute.
My inner nerd is getting all excited. Nerdstock is coming!

Well, it's very late and I grow weary.

Thank you for tolerating my thoughts.

Addictionz & Insightz

2006-06-17T03:50:00.000-07:00

I get addicted easily. Sometimes too easily.

I open with this statemant because it's almost 5 am, and I'm not tired. Why? Because I've been up surfing the internet, reading Ranma 1/2 fanfics. I'm practically giddy.

I've been sitting for hours with my laptop on my stomach, face glued to the screen, reading stories. My hair is in two messy pigtails on the very top of my head, I've got the comfy PJ's on and I've been munching on Goldfish crackers. I could keep going; I'm only stopping because it's almost 5 am and I think I should get to bed before my alarm goes off. But I had to write for a little while, until the tired sets in.

I'm hooked. Line and sinker included. This stuff is amazing! I get so involved with the characters and all the story lines that I can't help myself! ScottyBomb showed me a few episodes that he had, and a while back I picked up the first book, but it wasn't a huge deal. Lately, I've been getting more into it. I'm devouring the books as fast as I can pick them up (Murphy's Law has been dictating that the one I need will be the one they don't have at the bookstore I happen to be at, of course), and who knows how many DVDs I'd own if the funding wasn't so restrictive. And I found some beautiful fanfics with the greatest stories and some beautiful writing...

I'm rambling. Sorry.

Let me sum up:

I'm highly addicted to Ranma 1/2. Be warned, I will be more than happy to engage in discussion about this topic.

************************************************
New subject.

I finally had dinner with Mel Thursday evening. We don't see each other very often so this was a real treat and an amazing feat of scheduling (trust me).

Due to the not-seeing-each-other-very-often factor we ended up talking until quite late. About almost everthing that had to do with either of our lives.

I find it interesting to look at things with a Now and Then perspective. I mean, we grew up together; there's hardly a childhood memory of mine that she's not a part of. It's just interesting to see where she is now and where I am now and just how far apart we really are. I just bought a home and have a full-time job, she's looking to go back to school again and is living with her parents again. I'm the odd artsy one, she's the straight-laced education major. I marvel that we still have anything in common to talk about.

But we somehow managed to talk for hours. Lots of it was about where she is in life and how she got there. There is one thing I want to write about, because it really made a lot of sense to me in terms of life and relationships, and I want to remember it.

She was sat down at one point by a friend one night and was given a scenario:

A relationship is a partnership, two equal parts. What are you going to bring to that partnership to make it work and/or to attract a partner?

At the time, she wasn't very self sufficent (didn't really cook, didn't really clean, wasn't in control of all of her finances, stuff like that), and she said that this was a real turning point for her. She did someday want to settle down and maybe have a family, but she hadn't taken any steps to make that happen.

We talked about what it was like to become independent from Mom and Dad. How some people acted like rent was the only thing you had to pay for when you moved out, and how she and I knew just how far from the truth that was. We talked about how important it was to be self-sufficent. I think she put it something like this:

If you have two people that can each look after themselves, they will be excellent for looking after each other.

It ties right in with that whole relationship/partnership thing.

Lots of this was just preaching to the choir; I've been on my own for quite a few years now. I know what it's like to have to pay for everything yourself and do everything yourself.

She's always had a good head on her shoulders (well, mostly), and from the sounds of things, she's on her way to being right where she thinks she needs to be. And I say "Good for Her!"

Alright. It's now 5:50 am. The tired has set in and I'm going to bed before I stop making sense altogether.

I think I shall sleep in today. ;)

Can't Handle All the Heatz

2006-06-14T21:42:00.000-07:00

It's bloody hot in here.

I'm seriously considering taking some ice to bed with me. Also, all this humidity is making my hair HUGE!

Morgs, you need to come home so we can go cool off by walking in the fountains. Also, we need to take Oreo with us next time.

I think the time has come for a break. I need a change of pace. Something slower. Thank goodness my holidays are coming up. Some days it's just so hard to get up. (That might have something to do with my lack of going to bed at a decent hour, but who knows?)

And I'm getting damn tired of being broke.

Damn, it's hot in here. Apparently having the windows open is not helping. I need to get me a fan or something.

Well, on the upside, I've finally seen all of Ranma 1/2 Season 1. Good for me.

That strawberry ice cream in my freezer can't even save me now. I'm uncomfortably hot.

Alright, enough complaining about the heat. I'm going to change into something less warm and try to get some sleep!

Thanks for listening to my random ramblings!

Death by Chocolatz!

2006-06-06T16:23:00.000-07:00

So I decide to give up chocolate in June; fine.

I chose June because it has no major chocolate associated holidays in it (Halloween, Easter, Christmas, etc).

So where do my friends suggest for dessert?

Death by Chocolate.

On the upside, the fruity gelato was most satisfying.

Also, Happy Hell Day to those looking closely at their calendars.

#31 - Nez is a glutton for punishment

2006-06-01T17:46:00.000-07:00

I've decided that June is the month to cross off #31 - Give up chocolate for one month.

What the hell was I thinking?!?!?!

I give myself 2 weeks before the withdrawl drives me mad.

Some of you may remember that I was the proud winner of a cheap trip to Florida due to a draw I entered at K-Days. For those of you who didn't know, I won a cheap, 10 day trip (for 4) to Florida through a draw I entered at K-Days.

I'm not sure I can take this trip.

So I am looking for either:

A) Four people who are willing to split the $500 US price tag. (They would also have to pay for airfare and spending money).

OR

B) Two people willing to pay about $200 US (plus airfare and spending money) and who are willing to put up with me (and ScottyBomb) for 10 days in sunny Florida.

Here are some details:
Yes, it is a timeshare trap. I'm fairly sure that anyone taking option A can get out of the "presentation" because the trip is in my name, not theirs. However, this is where the free attraction passes come from so they might be forfeit if no one goes.

Hotels are paid for, plus there is free rental car for 7 days.

3 places in Florida: Orlando, Daytona, and Key West.

This trip needs to be used by February 2007. I've already paid for it, and I'd hate to see it go to waste.

Questions? Comments? Takers?

Nez is ALIVE!!

2006-05-20T09:35:00.000-07:00

I'm back! At long last the Internets and I are together again!!

I will now be able to answer e-mails!!

I will post on my blog!!

I will post on other peoples blogs!!

Good-bye analog darkness! Hello digital light!!

Woot!

And on that note... I'm going shopping. This weather is far to nice to waste by being indoors on the computer! ;)

Nez Is Not Dead

2006-04-19T20:37:00.000-07:00

Very much alive, I promise.

Still not online at my place yet, though.

But feel free to call me up and/or come over for a visit! I'm all about IRL contact!

Kisses!

HouzeWarming!

2006-04-06T17:46:00.000-07:00

Alrighty... here's the deal.

I need people to come and warm my new place.

Sunday, April 9th

It's an open-house kind of deal, so feel free to come and go as you please.
Any time after noon is fine with me.
Bring munchies.

If you need my address, give me a call. I'll be more than happy to provide you with it (I'll even give you directions if you want)! I don't have a land line, so you'll have to call my cell.

Hope you can come!!

Love,
Nez =)

Gots the Movez!!

2006-03-29T20:54:00.000-08:00

So I moved.

Egad.

Alas, I have no internets at the new digs (yet.) So the posts might be farther between. Sorry. I'll try to catch up to the 20th century as soon as I can!

Keep an eye out for the info on the housewarming party! (Also, you may want to keep the weekend of April 7th open.)

Love to my bloggers! And thanks to my painters and movers!!

Nez'z Stressez

2006-03-22T22:37:00.000-08:00

Moving your office and your home at the same time sucks.

Is it stressful? Oh, yes it is!

I very much look forward to being settled in both places.

Also, Painting Party on Saturday and Moving Party on Sunday for anyone interested. ;)
Anyone willing to help is welcome to come and reduce my stress!
Or you could just send me love and encouragement!!

Kisses!!

Dear March;

Slow down! You move too fast! I won't have enough time if you keep on like this!

Trying to keep up,
Nez

*************************************

Dear Mice;

I don't care if I am moving... GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!

Hating you,

Nez

*************************************

Dear Asshat;

How dare you ruin my weekend like that?!?! Just who do you think you are? I hope you get what's coming to you (I also hope that what's coming to you is a large freight train with no brakes).

Maybe someday I'll forgive/forget you, but right now I really, really hate you. I wished I'd have been there with a high powered sniper rifle to remove your ankles from afar, followed by your knees and then your ability to have children. I'd be doing us all a service.

Hoping Karma bites you in the ass,

Nez

Alas! Tonight There Will Be No Zzz's

2006-03-07T23:21:00.000-08:00

There were many calls, there was much paperwork, there was money exchanged.

Stress levels were high.

Then there were more calls, offers and counter-offers.

And then I bought a condo.

All that's left is crossing the t's and dotting the i's. Then later, when it sets in, I'll hyperventilate.

In the meantime:
Who wants to help me pick out some paint colors?
(But no painting until the breathing returns to normal!)

Teh Scoopzorz!

2006-02-27T21:47:00.000-08:00

Alright, due to popular demand, here's what's up. I'll even include the backstory.

My office is moving to the Research Park. I currently live in Londonderry. For those of you unfamiliar with either of those places, let me put it this way. They are across the freakin' city from each other!!! There isn't much that's further north than my home, and there isn't much that's further south than my workplace.

My current commute can be anywhere from 40 to 60+ minutes. And it can only get longer when we move. Driving can make me cranky (especially in rush hour), so the less driving I have to do to and from work, the better.

So I need to relocate to someplace on the southern side of the city. At the urging of my parents, and the approval of the bank, I'm purchasing a home. Specifically, a condo. Because I don't do yardwork, that's why.

I've got a realtor finding me places to look at and I plan on seeing some later this week. I've seen pictures of one that kind of tickles my fancy.

So far, so good.

**********************************************

L & M,

I wasn't ignoring your call on the road this morning. I had merely failed to communicate to you that my cell phone was at home on the charger.

Also, I'm sure that other drivers thought I was crazy. They clearly didn't understand that I was playing the head-tilting game with L.

So I hope that you two also had a lovely commute and that your car was nice and warm.

Nez =)

**********************************************

ScottyBomb has given me a wikkid awesome presie!! Alas, not everyone will get the joke. But it's funny as all hell to me.

Check it!

**********************************************

It's 11 pm. Do you know where your Nez is?

I do.

She's going to bed.

2006-02-17T17:26:00.000-08:00

So the other night I was feeling all sentimental and mushy; so when I went to bed, I gathered up all my bears from ScottyBomb.

Then Good Luck Bear, Grumpy Bear, Duck and I curled up and drifted into slumber.

You know, there's something very mystical and beautiful about falling asleep in the pool of moonlight that's streaming through your bedroom window.

No Sleepz for Me

2006-02-09T23:51:00.000-08:00

I can't sleep. And it's late.

So I'm up, fixing my sidebar, listening to "Avenue Q" (which is my new favorite musical, by the way).

Fun.

I should be sleeping, I have to work in the morning.

Also, that bunny graphic is really making my blog one helluva scroll-job. Sorry.
I promise, it's all updated with the blogs I visit. And if you want to be added or removed, just let me know, and I'll get around to fixing things sometime. ;)

Alright, we're going to head for the bed and hope for the best.
Of course, the best would be my bed containing ScottyBomb and/or some chocolate...

By the way, Happy Anniversay ScottyBomb! Love you! Still!
and maybe you could update your blog sometime this year...

Morgoid, try not to get stuck in a Giggle Loop.

Okay. I may not like Christmas all that much, but I do enjoy a good New Years. And this one was a good one!
Drunken board games with some of my nearest and dearest at Chateau Creme de Menthe! Such good times were had.

My favorite quote of the night:

"Elf can help!" - D!

There was champagne, there was kissing, there was much laughter and merriment. Then The Source proceeded to kick a serious amount of ass at Name that Tune - 80's Edition. The man is a fountain of 80's music knowledge!!

2005-12-27T09:44:00.000-08:00

I'm not a big fan of Christmas... That is to say, it's not my favorite holiday. It's too stressful. It's too corporate. It's way to materialistic. And for pity's sake, does it have to start before Halloween??

And don't even get me started on how much food there is. (Grandma's dinner could have fed a small army.)

I think maybe it's just too much for me to cram into the space of a few days.

Don't misunderstand, I like the good parts of Christmas. The pretty lights, the excuse to buy people gifts (I love to give presents!!), the mandarin oranges, the good chocolates.

What I can't stand is the corporate Christmas. Companies making up for their poor sales over the rest of the year buy advertising that you simply must get the perfect gift for everyone or they will hate you. The spoiled little kid who throws a tantrum because he/she didn't get everything that they've ever wanted under that tree. (And no, that comment was not directed at anyone.) That kind of holiday bugs me.

I consider myself a Christian (and I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a very good one) and I know that Christmas should be the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. But it's not. All I seem to see is a celebration of greed and money.

Besides, according to some (and this makes sense to me) Christ was probably born sometime in April, and Christmas is celebrated in December to compete with/replace the pagan solstice.

I think I'm having a religious identity crisis...

An Interesting Maze of Stress

2005-08-30T22:07:00.000-07:00

I'm so stressed right now I can't even think clearly.

I just feel like screaming at the top of my lungs from a very high building,

"ALRIGHT WORLD! YOU WIN! I GET IT! YOU NEVER WANT ME TO TAKE ANOTHER VACATION EVER AGAIN!!! FINE!!"

It's just too damn hard to come back and deal with everything all at once. And all by myself.

And I can feel the icy glare of the Ninja on me. He's heard all this before and probably can't believe he's hearing it again.

I'm too tired to deal, I'm going to bed. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Pretty accurate except for the cheating one... I swear Scottybomb, that one is totally off!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

If I've said it once... I've said it a thouzand times.

2005-08-02T09:17:00.000-07:00

I think I need a vacation now to recover from the weekend...

Did K-days Friday night, went on rides, played skee-ball. I had a bear won for me! We named him Duck (also crossed something off my list, but we won't go there). Went to the Heritage Festival with ScottyBomb, then out to the lake for the rest of the weekend with his family (much drinking was involved). Came home, tended to the sunburn, tried to get some work done (with moderate success), piled into Honey (who has decided to make a new unhealthy noise) and went off to the movies and made it home just in time to catch the last 20 minutes of my TV show.

On the upside, Dr. Teeth scored me more Barry Ween. Woot!

I think I need a nap.

Nez Takes a Test!

2005-07-21T09:12:00.000-07:00

So I took the personality defect test from Jugglepants's LiveJournal (who got it from human_loser)

Apparently I'm a

Hippie
You are 42% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 28% Brutal, and 28% Arrogant.

You are the Hippie! Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion, irrationality, gentleness, and humility, you no doubt frolic through fields preaching peace and love to all! You are probably either very spiritual or needlessly paranoid about "the man", like most hippies, as a result of your focus on intuition and feelings over cold, brutal logic. You are also very, very social. And like any hippie, who would have no qualms about hitchiking across the country just to meet some interesting people, you too love to interact with others, even complete strangers. Because we know most any hippie is peace-loving and humble, it stands to reason that you, as well, are terribly gentle and humble, almost to the point of revulsion. Your carefree attitude of peace and harmony is probably very, very sickening to realists or cynics or anyone who isn't a hippie, to tell the truth. In short, your personality is defective because you are overly emotional, extroverted, gentle, and humble--thus making you an annoying hippie. And you listen to psychadelic rock and smoke a whole lot of pot. Okay, maybe not, but I wouldn't be surprised if you did.

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Sociopath.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Televangelist, and the Robot.

Huh. Who knew?

Roomie: Hey. (Joining me in bed) I've got news.

Me: What?

Roomie: Baby!

That's right everyone! I am once again the proud aunt of a little bundle of joy!

On July 12, at 11:27 pm, weighing in at 7 lbs 5 oz, a new little soul joined us.
His name is Tristan Gabriel Huisman.

I can't wait to meet him!!

Moving Suckz!

2005-07-07T09:35:00.000-07:00

It's no secret to anyone that I hate moving.

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

I like being settled, with everything in it's place and not stuck in a box somewhere.
This is why I hate my basement... and my bedroom. Full of boxes that I haven't unpacked yet.

Stupid boxes.

But this time, (thankfully!) it's not me! It's ScottyBomb. Fortunately, I deal much better with someone else's moving.

Today is the Take Possession Day! This weekend is the Bring The Rest Of The Crap Home Weekend!

"I can't wait," she said, dripping with sarcasm.

But seriously, I don't mind. It's the girlfriendly duty; part of that being in love thing. And the least I could do. He's helped me move. Twice.

Sigh...

Good thing there's booze involved, because I hate moving.

4 Dayz of ScottyBomb

2005-07-03T21:36:00.000-07:00

So we have just finished the 2nd annual 4-Day Date.
Last year, around Canada Day, I happened to have an extra-long long weekend. So ScottyBomb and I decided to visit some of the Edmonton attractions. We hit the Oddyssium, the Muttart Conservatory, the Provincial Museum, the Valley Zoo and Ft. Edmonton Park.

We did the same thing this year. Of course, there have been some name changes: the Oddyssium is now the Telus World of Science (or as I like to call it, the Telus-is-Trying-to-Buy-Edmonton-Building) and, thanks to the Royal Visit, the Provincial Museum is now the Royal Museum of Alberta.

Thank goodness the weather was nice. I managed to avoid sunburn everywhere except my forehead, so I wasn't feeling so hot (no pun intended) the other night. But we had a good time. Took some pictures, ate some ice cream, bought some funny presents for each other (I got to cross something of my list!). ScottyBomb bought me Kenya at the zoo! It was great!

And since it's become an annual thing now, I can't wait for next year! Maybe we'll have time to add something else to the list of places. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get them off my camera.

***The following paragraph is full of mushy-lovey stuff. You have been warned***

I spent the entire weekend being completely smitten. You know that feeling you get at the beginning of a relationship?

It's when your eyes are kind of glazed over and you find yourself saying things like, "You should watch him breathe, he's so good at it." When everyone within a 15 foot radius gets a toothache from the two of you, that's smit.

Then your brain regains control and you turn into a normal human being again and (hopefully) start building connections and feelings that go deeper than that. ScottyBomb and I have been dating almost 1 1/2 years; we've already done that whole "honeymoon" phase, moved on and now have a wonderful, loving relationship.

But this weekend was different. It was smit all over again. SMIT!!! More than once I caught myself staring at him thinking, "He's cute!"

I don't think I could stop loving this guy if I tried. He's my sexy, blonde-surfer-hair, wrestlin'-lovin', game-playing geek and I love him with all I've got.

***Mushy part over. Thank you***

So the long weekend was great, but now I have to sleep. It's back to the grind bright and early tomorrow.

I'll be early, but I refuse to be bright!!

Zzzzzz... Zzzzzzzz..

2005-06-27T14:23:00.000-07:00

I'm still not 100% sure why "Z" is the letter of sleep.

So tired. I should have taken a nap at D!'s last night, instead of watching the PPV. If I would have known I would be out that late, I would have left earlier, or not gone at all. I'm a walking zombie today. It's hot in the office and I'm tired. That's never a good combination. I need to have something cool & take a nap when I get home. My show is on tonight, and I need to be awake for it!

But I did get a healthy start on my new game! Can't wait to finish it! Maybe I'll get some play in tonight... I'll be that much closer to crossing something off my list!

Alright, enough mindless drivel. Back to work!
