Ticked: Spent the whole day cleaning and over that I have work nagging me to do training modules by tomorrow when they originally said by next Saturday. Over that they haven't given me one shift of work this week :evil:

Pissed off: The computer shop said my computer would be ready by mid this week and it's now Saturday. If I don't have any contact from them by Monday they're going to get rage filled phone call. I need this computer now for school work, I can't afford to waste anymore time.

If I might ask -- what was the issue with the computer? Does it justify this amount of time on it?

Smile: Had friends over last night, and the brouhaha lasted until 4am. Lots more girls than guys, so "round robin" super mario world was the game of choice for a while, then it was off to Tequila shots and dancing in the living room.

But the highlight of the night came at around 2am. One of my friends may have gotten a little close to our friend Patron, as after a brief absence from our soiree, I found him in my kitchen eating my Chinese leftovers.

Not sure if you've ever seen a grown man, drunk off his tail, trying to hide the fact he's eating your leftovers; but it is hilarious. Usually he orders two large pizzas, eats one slice, and goes to bed.

Frown: Cleaning the kitchen counters, mopping the kitchen floors (which I would have done anyway).

:evil: My GBA-SP was shipped on Tuesday from California via Priority Mail, and it hasn't arrived on the East Coast yet.

The tracking info has it leaving CA, then arriving in Tampa (near me) yesterday, so I'd think sure I'd get it today, but then this morning, has it BACK in CA?!

Can't blame the seller here.... hope it gets here on Monday... this guy has been real nice working with me and has 100% feedback with over 1000 transactions.

Smile: Saw Star Wars Episode 1 today. I was glad to finally see that one on the big screen, since I missed it in '99. The Darth Maul glasses are pretty legit too.

Frown: I have a ton of work I have to do for my US History AP class.

Smile: History is my favorite subject.

Frown: Someone saw The Phantom Menace and smiled.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I sure didn't smile when I saw it back in the day.

A couple of my rotten fucker friends (I say that with love), knowing that I don't like Star Wars in the first place, took me to see it under the pretense of seeing some other movie.

They did buy the ticket, so it wasn't all bad, but still.

Every franchise I have ever liked died about that same time frame so I shouldn't have been surprised that the new Star Wars movies ended up sucking. Man, though, weren't we so hyped for them to be great?
