another day, another dollar...

well, to be truthful there's no dollar involved since i'm not working today, but whatever. for the last day or so i've been working on majora's mask, since i finally beat the stupid zombie king of ikana and learned the elegy of emptiness. but last night i was working on building up my mask collection. the only problem is that i can't figure out how to meet anju in the stock pot inn's kitchen at 11:30pm! she locks the door at 8:30 and kicks me out if i try to stay inside! well, that's what online helps are for, right?

life's been pretty slow and boring lately, but what can ya do? i talked to sarah on messanger yesterday, and she was disappointed that nobody remembered to call her up when we were having joe's going away party. anyway, she said that she, jessie and i need to get together before she moves away.

i think i'll go shopping today after i drop my brother off at gross for some student council habitat for humanity thing he has to do. i need to get some kind of laundry bag, a nightstand, and some cheap book shelves. and anything else i see that i feel i need to get.

on a more sour note, i've been having some real problems with joe spamming my comments box. now i'm gonna ask nicely this time; could you please stop typing absolute drivvel in my comments box? it's really annoying and i must say it makes you look like one of those stupid people who go around the internet typing in sticky caps and typing characters like ')' and '!' and '|' repetitively. i'd really appreciate it if you only commented when you have something worthwhile to say.

and to my other commentor, who shows up occationally leaving a message 'hihi': hello to you too.

don't shoot the messanger!

ok, so i was at work today, and thelma (the cake decorator) tells me that there's this problem with this dora the explorer cake someone ordered. apparently pat (the other closer) couldn't find the toy, and thelma tried calling this lady several times, asking which dora toy she wanted (there's two). so at about three o'clock thelma leaves to pick up her son from work (he crashed his car) and of course, this is the most convenient time for this lady to pick up her cake. so i bring out the cake and guess what:
"that's not the one i wanted."
"well, the decorator told me that there was a problem, and they didn't know which one you wanted or they couldn't find one or something, so they called you up, but you never called back."
"well, i never got any phone call, and they never left a message, so how am i supposed to know if they don't leave a message?!"
"well, they did call you..."
"can you find the other dora toy then? i don't care i'll just take these toys off and put the other ones on."
*anne goes to look for a dora toy, any dora toy in the deco cabinet* "i'm sorry, i can't find either of the dora toys anywhere"
"how come this dora cake is still in the book if you don't have it? the other one was in here sunday and now it isn't, why didn't you take this one out too?"
"sometimes people forget to take the picture outta the book" *shrugs*
"well i don't know how i'm supposed to call them back if they don't leave a message. i need this cake tonight, can i leave this here and you ask the decorator about it when she gets back?"
"yea, sure"

*5 minutes of anne swearing under her breath later*

"i'm so sorry, i just talked to my husband and he took a message but never told me!"


my god, i hate it when people are so goddam anal about everything. i ended up giving her a discount, and pricing the cake like there wasn't a toy, but whatever. i'm tellin' ya, what with all the dishes i had to watch and how i scraped my heel on the bottom of a cart, and other minor things i forgot but remembered that they sucked; this day is almost worthy of being a monday (worthy being a bad thing).

i got some interesting comments to yesterday's post...

MMM Snogging. Sounds kinky. AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH <--------------------------SPAM--------------------------------> SPAM ALERT

a large part of this post has been edited out for lack of anything worth posting.

O hi...I'M JOE HOW ARE THINGS.

This is Joe: -> =)
This is wild and crazy Joe: -> XD
This is Joe on crack: "Look at previous post."

This is a result of Joe totally lacking in the 'snog' department. We're sorry for any conviences or problems Joe has caused. We here at the Anti-flaming homo institute care, and will do anything we can to prevent outbursts like this. Joe is currently under custody. He will be shot at a later date. What's in the shot you may ask? Horse Tranquilizer and estrogen. Why the estrogen? We don't know.. Thank you.

that is the worst excuse i've ever heard. you don't go schizo from lack of make-out sessions. that's just sad. and what's with the estrogen? do you even know what estrogen does? it'll make your masculine attributes diminish, which includes enabeling you to join the soprano section of the choir. BUTif this is chris's reply, and not joe making excuses for himself, i just got one thing to say: PWN3D

no snogging in public

you know, that is just the most bizarre word ever: "snogging". they use it alot in harry potter and the half-blood prince, and according to my observations it means making out, but sometimes they seem to use it for just plain kissing (and yes, there is a difference, if you don't agree, too bad).

so yea, after work on saturday i started reading the newest installment in the harry potter series, and read it in record time! i started at approximately 9:30pm on saturday night, and took a break to sleep at 6:00am sunday morning. i woke up at around 12:45pm or so sunday afternoon, but i didn't get to start reading again till 1:20pm or so (i had to pick up some lunch for my brother and drive it over to his work). i read straight through the afternoon and was forced to stop at 4:55pm by my mother to go to church. i then picked it up again directly after church at 6:05pm (or so). at that point i only had 30 pages to go, and i finished sometime within the next hour. so that's the whole 600-some pages in under 24-hours including several hours worth of interruptions. yes, this is my new record.

all in all it lived up to its reputation, and is worthy of the title harry potter. it's exciting, unpredictable (well, i was able to predict who was gonna die, but i guessed that even before i started the book. it follows a traditional heroic journey outline, if that makes any sense), and a damn good read. i've noticed though, how small a part quiddich plays in harry's life as he gets older.

yea, so that was my weekend...

Human For Sale - Home - How much are you worth?

Human For Sale - Home - How much are you worth?

this is kinda fun. i'm worth about $1.6 million.

trapped in the clutches of boredom.... again...

yea, so i'm bored again. go figure. today consisted of me going to the dentist and getting my teeth cleaned. as usual, they told me i have great teeth (yay!). after that my mom, brother and i went out to lunch. at first we were going to go to sortino's on 72nd street, but they were closed (till dinner, we presumed). so since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped in on my nan and pop (my mom's parents) for a few minutes. after that we went and had lunch at khan's. then i came home... and here i am...

to tell the truth i got home hours ago, i'm just typing all this now. i was actually making progress on my story. i'll post an excerpt here just for fun, and if you really like it, talk to me and i may send you the whole thing to read (it's still not done though).

After we were out of the castle’s sight, we reached a fork in the road.
“We will take the left road.”
“No, the town is to the right,” idiot.
“No, we will go to the left.”
Sigh, “To the left leads to the Black Forest. We need to go to the right so we can stop by that little town for you to shake some hands and kiss some babies before we can get going to the inn.” I had been through a very trying morning, I just wanted a nice bed and some sleep.
“No, we will go to the left.”
“What, are you stupid or somethin’?! I just told you, the Black Forest is to the left. Do you even know what the Black Forest is?”
“We will go to the left.”
“Is that all you know how to say?” I raised an eyebrow.
“No, I’m a Royal and have had the finest education. I have a higher vocabulary than either of my parents, and you are being insolent and annoying. We will go to the left.”
At this point the guards, who had just been sitting there on their horses, acting as part of the scenery, began to lead their horses to the left.
“I can’t believe this!” I really don’t know what came over me, but for whatever reason, I followed the royal fool and his guards to the left. Bye-bye, Horseshoe Inn...


so how's that for ya? i was debating whether to put up some funnier scenes, but they were too long.
