So yeah, I just flat out forgot to post yesterday. I remembered at about 3 minutes till 4. Which was far too late to get started. :)
I finally watched "Oceans 12," a litle bit more seriously than I had watched "Oceans 11." I think I liked it better, yet, at the same time, thought it was really dumb. I like Eddie Izzard in it. :) At one point, I caught myself thinking "I wonder what actress they had Tess pretend to be in the original?" And then I remembered that there wasn't originally a sequel to "Oceans 11." This one was all made up. Which made things like the lasers, the breakdancing, and the hologram all make a whole lot more sense. :)
I also bought some movies on Sunday: replacement copies of "Fight Club" and "Master & Commander" finally, and then "Dead Again," which is a fairly obscure movie with Kenneth Branagh (sp?) and Emma Thompson. I love those two in movies together... someday, I'll probably have to buy "Much Ado about Nothing" as well. :) Watched "Fight Club," which ended up meaning that I watched two Brad Pitt movies in the same day, which was weird. Especially since I don't really like him all that much. :)
Yard sale on Saturday went pretty well, though I didn't sell my Docs, as I was hoping. I've got both pairs listed on eBay right now, and then I found a pair of black size 4s (UK sizing) going for VERY cheap, so I've bid on them. We'll see if I actually get them. My tiny feet may win out in this one! :) I really want something flashier than black, but there is no denying the practicality of owning a pair of black Docs that fit. Maybe I can find the holographic ones in my size someday... :)
(I should note, for those concerned about my shoes, that I got rid of four pairs of sandals already, and if I can sell these two pairs of Docs, I will be condensing my boot collection by one pair (assuming I win the new ones). And I threw out a pair of sneakers, and a few pairs of slippers. So I'm doing good!)
(I should also note that Cindy gave me one shirt on Saturday, and I sold the bulk of the clothes I took to the yard sale, and I didn't buy ANYTHING at the yard sale this year! Go me! :) )
I have a game in the works. A lot of the details aren't even close to being in place yet, but I have a game in the works. And it's not Vampire, or even White Wolf. So :p

Thursday, April 20, 2006
Not much to report, in all honesty. It seems like I'm busy everywhere I go... busy at home, busy at work... busy all around...
The busy at home is in preparation for the yard sale on Saturday, as well as some preliminary getting ready for Jesi to move in... cuz I'm going to have to get all of my crap out of her bedroom soonishly... :) Shouldn't be too difficult, mostly it'll just be a matter of figuring out how to fit everything back into the living room closet again... it all fit in there to begin with, and I've whittled down some of it, so getting it back in SHOULD be easy. :)
The busy at work is because I've had a large-ish project land on my desk every afternoon this week. The one today has been small, in comparison, but seriously... regular work + extra large-ish projects = very busy Dawn! I think this is all just coincidental, but it will be nice when it slows down, and goes back to just regular work with occasional small projects tossed on top.
Only 2 and a half more weeks of classes, then finals, which doesn't really affect me, but, at the same time, it does. It affects pretty much everyone in a college town. In this case, it's because a good chunk of the college kids are busy and/or stressed... and it spills out onto the town, and makes everything kinda crazy. Ah well, come May 13th or so, there will be many less people in town, and I will be happy. Carbondale is so much nicer without the bulk of the students. :)
The weather out today is odd... gray and cool... I suspect it's a precursor for rain tomorrow, or maybe late tonight... I don't care, just as long as there's no rain on Saturday! I will not be a happy camper if I wake up early for the yard sale on Saturday, only to see that it's rescheduled for Sunday. :(
