Smile: Got a cab ride across town to see Harry Potter at 9PM CST...two hours earlier than the East Coast. And it was awesome.

Ticked: Apparently the cab doesn't run at 11:30. I had to walk for over an hour and had no idea where the heck I was going. And the temperature was below freezing.

I walked at least two miles. I'm gonna check Google Pedometer. :?

EDIT: 4.215 miles! I clearly had no idea where the heck I was going.

Ticked me off: It was my birthday but I had to work for 9 hours and only one person did anything for me outside of texts and facebook wall posts.

Smile: My best friend showed up at work with gifts. Candy and the first Ninja Turtles movie (also, my favorite movie ever) on DVD in a Spider-Man gift bag with a big "Happy birthday" Spider-man balloon. She almost made me cry.

Smile: Rise up this mornin', smiled with the risin' sun. Then three little birds pitch by my doorstep they were singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true, Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:" Don't worry 'bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." :P

Ticked: Inventory next month at work and were not ready...a lot of work/orders to do. :?

Ha. I learn something new everyday. For over a decade I thought the lyric was "three little birds perched by my doorstep". Bob Marley Legend has to be the quintessential college album. Great stuff. No woman no cry indeed.

Smile: Asian hair stylists. Best scalp massages ever.

Frown: You charge too much for your great massages.

Smile: My mom's best friend's son, who is 12, came in my house and said 'OH MY GOD HE HAS A DREAMCAST' and made my day.

Ticked: My girlfriend thinks she's more important than video games. >_<

smile: Walmart black friday midnight deals!

:evil: : Walmart black friday midnight crowd!!! People are crazy. I'm not even attempting any of the early morning "door busters" anywhere around here. I feel like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson after tonight's little shopping spree.
