Whee!

Back in the office this week, though only four days of work this week. Gotta love holidays, especially when there hasn't been one since New Years Day. I think that January through May is often the worst part of the year, simply due to lack of days off. Now that we've hit Memorial Day, there's a day off every other month, and then November, December, and January each have a day off. :)

So yesterday, Rosalie mentioned Google Reader to me, and I had to admit I had never heard of it. Shortly after I got home, however, I tracked it down and got mine set up. Brilliant. Amazingly brilliant. I've added maybe half of the blogs on my sidebar to it, and it makes my life SO much easier in terms of seeing when people have posted something new. This is particularly useful for the blogs in my sidebar, as many of them only get updated once in a blue moon. :) So with just a couple of clicks, I can get a list of which ones have new posts, see their new posts, and be done with it. Definite time saver!

I'm sure there are plenty of readers going "well, yeah, that's what it's for." I'm a bit behind the curve on this one. :)

In other random news, we're still tossing around the idea of going to see The Birthday Massacre and MSI (Mindless Self Indulgence). I'm a little leery of this because a) I only marginally like MSI, and b) I don't like MSI's fans, generally speaking. So we've toyed with just going to see The Birthday Massacre, but that doesn't solve issue B. We will have to think about it some more, I suppose.

Quick post!

Busy at work today, so I'm trying to get a bunch done on my lunch break. That means quick post here, and then off to do something else. :)

(BTW, I already know that this post is going to show up as though I made it around 2:30 p.m. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why this blog still posts on Central Time, when my other blog posts on Pacific Time. Argh!)

1) Oh yeah, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrrrrrrrr... (I can't make a good pirate smiley that doesn't look like a cyclops. And the cute pirate stuff with this post is something that Kayce is selling at World of Whimm. I don't have any pirate stuff in my Etsy shop.)

2) I got new salt scrub on Monday, and this stuff smells like raspberries. Ooh boy, does it smell like raspberries! The weird thing is that I think I've had some other raspberry smelling stuff that smelled just like this before, but I can't recall what it would have been.

3) It's cold in our office right now. Like seriously shivery cold. I might have to wear my windbreaker, even though it will make funny noises whenever I move.

4) My iPod wants to play Christmas music today. Craziness.

I think I mentioned that I'm off work all this week, but if not, that's why I'm not posting this week. :) I've spent yesterday and today rearranging my apartment, and will spend the next three days in St. Louis. w00t for vacation! :)

So now, we will cover all of the usual posts in one fell swoop! :)

Movies:

Finally saw "Team America: World Police." Was somewhat amused by the music. Was greatly disturbed by the majority of it. Laughed, nonetheless.

Got to watch "Princess Mononoke" for the first time in about three years. Still a good movie.

Six or seven movies coming out in the next two months that I want to see: the new Jet Li one (the name of which constantly eludes me), Batman Begins, Fantastic Four, Willy Wonka, The Island, Land of the Dead, and maybe War of the Worlds.

Game:

Played OWBN on Friday. Much death ensued. Was fun.

Played Sabbat on Saturday. Much stupidity ensued. Was somewhat fun, nonetheless.

Played Paducah OWBN on Sunday. Much talk of stupidity in another game ensued. Was fun. Am now part of the Maidens of Death. And there is no purge. Those are mostly jokes, except that they're sorta true, too. :)

Music:

J got the new System of a Down CD, and I like it. He also got Queens of the Stone Age, and I liked what I heard of that. Thor loaned me new Bella Morte, and that makes me super happy. :)

Crafts:

Taking a break, mostly, due to vacation and the fact that pretty much all of my craft stuff is now crammed in one closet, and is not easily accessible. This is okay, it gives me more time to do other things. And I can still get to my crochet. :)

And no End of the Work Week Wisdom, cuz I'm not working! :)
