So we had one of those lovely 7AM meetings at work again. One of those ones where we all read from a book and people complain about things. Luckily, because I work in the field, I leave early and get to do some real work. Woot!
Currently somewhat tired, mainly because I slept about 4 hours last night. Dang stomach is topsy-tuvery on me...must have been those two bowls of Cheerios that I ate before bed. Whoops.
Gettin excited 'bout ski season, I've been thinking about our annual trip up north to the White Mountains. Pretty cool. I'm hoping that perhaps I can go skiing this year with some comrades from work.
Hey, you know what? I just realized that I came home today and the cat didn't come to see me. Ungrateful beast. Probably sleeping or chasing that fake mouse of his around. That's the new thing that we do at 2AM. We bang on things while we chase the mouse around. Just to be sure people know I'm here. Great !
The better half is sitting over there clicking away on that pogo.com game-thing that she plays. Kinda looks like a cross between tetris, snood, and space invaders. I personally fail to see the addiction quality. There's no carnage or typing taunts to other people in that game. No orcs or trolls either. I tell ya, there's nothing like taking some cave trolls and catapults in "Battle for Middle Earth" and knocking on Barney's (my friend) gate to say hi. That usually invokes some quite comical retorts from the other side of the room. The game she is playing, however, makes some sort of weak midi-type noise when you win and that's it.
As I'm flipping through the TV I am noticing there is an abundance of CRAP on. Yaknow, I worked all day and I just kinda want to veg out. I don't have to cook dinner, just reheat leftovers. I want some simple leftovers and the tube. Right now there is some sort of Sci-Fi thing on that about hunting dragons. Definitely not TSR/Wizards of the Sword coast quality, though. Um...yeah, one shot with a ballista and a dragon is dead? Don't think so, it never seems to work that way in a role-playing game.
I'm kinda tired of hearing about the Katrina stuff. Don't get me wrong, I feel really bad for those people down there, but when I keep seeing footage of idiots taking potshots at cops, helicopters, and other people, I kinda just get pissed off.
On related matters, our company still can't account for 14 people that are from that area, we are all hoping they are ok. We are donating 1 million dollars off the bat to help rebuild, and also matching what people donate in our store, up to another million. Then we also have a company-only fund to help employees as well. Pretty cool. Especially when that money could go to one of our stores is under 10 feet of water still, all merchandise lost or looted. That's got to be a couple million loss, easy. Nice to know we have some capital to throw around.
Ok, I'm going to check out and see if there is a demo of Guild Wars, and if not, then fire up some BFME.

So today in school in anatomy and physiology, we were discussing the body parts... Our instructor announced that in Bridgeport,CT they have this workshop for massage therapy students,which would be wonderful for us to attend. During the discussion, they were talking about cadavers. I thought to myself, hhmm thats weird. He had asked if there were any questions. I raised my hand and said,Im having a blonde moment (im brunette now) "arent those real bodies?" In disbelief, I couldnt believe that they were going to have them out like that.... One of my fellow students, actually most of them were like YEAH!!!! Boy, I really was having a blonde moment!!!
