Handheld Thursday

Happy Thursday! I'm writing this to you on my phone because my computer is busy being backed up because of the disc error report I found when I got home from work! My favorite fish died today, too.

I'm just stashing away any photo folders that might be important, my whole folder of writing, my MDMB folder,my Minecraft world. If it's older than two years I already have it on the external, and if it's not in My Pictures or My Documents I probably didn't need it anyway. My music I can glean back from friends.

But at work I played with stickers for 8 hours. And on my lunch I had cookies and played Pokemon. True story.

Good news is I don't have jury duty, and Carolyn graduated on Saturday. Other than that...

Bah.

Dusty

Happy Thursday! We had a terrible wind around town this week, which is my least favorite thing. Blows the door open at work and gets the counters all covered in dirt. But even just the sound of it, knowing that you can't go outside because the air is moving... makes me uneasy. But it did rain quite a bit, over a couple of nights. Ninja rain. It was nice today, but last I saw there was some weird high fog coming in.

So who's ready for summertime?!

You know me, I'm always ready for it. I was spoiled at school, inland north of LA, where summer started in February and went straight through to November. I feel like I've been waiting for summer since I graduated. :< Coasts.

I cleaned my room the other day! To the extent where you can see my whole floor, and you can even see that my desk is made of wood! 60% was papers to be thrown away, 5% to file, 10% clothes, um, 60, 65, 75... and 25% CDs and their cases. Not together, of course. But shoot if there weren't ten stacks of CDs satting around in here. Where did I get all of them? Well, a good half of them were burned, and half of those unlabeled.

If you noticed some videos go up on Facebook this week, that's where they came from.

The closet's next, but I've had enough dust for one week.

All my tv is over for the year. I'm rooting for Barney/Robin still, and how crazy would it be if Andy got to be manager?

The funniest part of the Office today was this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HrQbjPjbBA

I found a $50 gift card while cleaning! What should I get?

Whoops

Totally forgot to post this here. Well. Better late than never.





Happy Thursday! Blogger is down at the moment, so this'll go on Facebook first and then I'll get it on the blog whenever that becomes available.



So Torchwood. lol. Turns out it's really good! Not that those bad episodes weren't bad -- ohhhhh how they were bad -- but the few suddenly good episodes weren't a fluke. Just finished season 2 like half an hour ago. Preeetty epic.



This week I made curry for Mother's Day and carrot cake cupcakes for Jacqi's birthday.



I'm going to get a haircut tomorrow and start cleaning my room.



Disc one of Carnivàle arrived today, I'll be getting on that soon.



Oh and I beat Batman: Arkham Asylum. 100% on the Riddler's stuff. Watched quite a few of the 60s Batman while it was still in my system. Speaking of good shows -- there's one.



There's an internet cafe in town called GreenForest Cafe and Jacqi sorta works there now. She made me a Lich King's Revenge which was wonderful, and then I got my 8th Gym Badge in Pokemon. It was thematic. Oh, my point was, you should go there! Play computer games or whatever, have some frozen yogurt. It'll be grand.



I love me a good sci-fi character drama. When is somebody gonna buy me BSG?

Geeking out pretty bad this week

Happy Thursday! We've been having lovely springy/summery weather this week, just a bit windy, really dry and warm. But today I walked to Trader Joe's and watched this massive fog mountain roll towards me. I got all the way home before it got to my house, but soon after that it got dark and damp and spooky. Weather. So whimsical.

I'm on a major Batman kick (literally?!) this week thanks to Batman Arkham Asylum. Swooping down on escaped inmates and kicking them in the face. It's good times. Or sneaking up behind a guy, smothering him, dropping him gently to the floor and then grappling up to a gargoyle to watch as his comrades discover his unconscious body and freak out. Batman's my kind of guy.

Probably the best part about the game, though, is the voice acting. They got Mark Hamill as the Joker and Kevin Conroy as Batman, which is the dream team from the animated series back in my golden childhood. Same Harley, too, but sometimes she delivers her lines pretty bad. The rest of the voice acting is spotty, a lot of bland readings, really. Wish they'd got someone of the Hamill/Conroy caliber for the Riddler, because he's my fave and his voice is alllllllllllll over the game.

Haven't seen him yet, though. I wonder if he's even on the island??

The computers were down at work on Tuesday all day. It was pretty crazy. It wasn't too busy, but the weight of knowing you couldn't just scan things and make everyone happy instantly was sort of unsettling. But it's all better now!

Been watching Torchwood. Bah, it's pretty bad. ALTHOUGH the one I just watched today was the best so far, being that it was actually average+ and I liked it. It was legitimately spooky, and not cornylololol in the slightest (which the one before last was OH SO MUCH). So maybe its cult following has some sense, if it continues to improve.

I guess I'll keep watching.
