my allergies can go suck a fuck! argh!
anyway.
i'm beat. i don't know if it's just because i was on the go all weekend, or because i've got a lot on my mind lately, but i am just exhausted. luckily, my stint of insomnia has passed and i've been able to get some real sleep the past few nights without resorting to medication.
guitar hero III came out yesterday.
the upside: so far it has a good assortment of songs and venues. Also, new bitchin' guitar with detachable neck.
the downside: harmonix didn't make this one because they're working on rock band, and within the first five minutes of playing GH III, it crashed once and tried to crash two more times. Also, the graphics are shit, the interface is not as good as it could be, and there is lag between the audio and video that none of the previous games had.
oh well, it's all good. i'm still able to rock out and kick everyone's ass which is all that really matters.
i just got done working on the rough draft of that stupid essay for my english class. i ended up doing it over violence in video games, arguing that violence in video games does not cause violence in adolesents and teens. woopdy-doo. feel my excitement? yeah...thought so.
anyway. i think i'm going to go take a bath and then play some guitar hero goodness. later all.
rock on leaping frog!

donuts, coffee and developer...yum yum...
i find people who make the same mistakes over and over again quite amusing and entertaining, to say the least. especially when their f*ck-ups don't directly effect my life. like when someone is in a relationship with a girl/guy that they realize they can't stand, so they end up breaking up or divorcing, only for that person to then jump into a relationship with someone just like the one they left. what's great is when they don't even realize that they're dating their ex's proverbial twin - both physically and psychologically.
good times, good times...
anyway, not that any of that will make sense to any of you, but it makes me smile nonetheless.
so i'm at work here in the photo lab, and surprisingly i'm not completely bored to tears. i have a paper to write today, just a rough draft of an argumentative essay (which, if you know me, should be nothing less than a walk in the park for me to complete), i have to go post a comment on the discussion board for my psyc class, i need to go over lesson plans for next week for the kiddos, work on my drawing for a bit, and then after work i'm going shopping!
tomorrow will be a full day as well. i've gotta get up early and mow the lawn, then we're going to ikea to pick up the christmas present my mommy is buying us (a sweet large free-standing island for our kitchen), then we're going to gamestop to pick up guitar hero III, and pre-order rock band for the 360 which comes out in november. sometime before, during, or after all of that we're gonna go see 'dan in real life' because i've been dying to see it and all of it's reviews have been superb.
oh yeah, update on the cello situation...
i went a looking on the internet for cello's, and i have since narrowed it down to three that i want and can afford. the ones i'm looking at range in price from $380 to $450, though i'm leaning toward to higher end of the price range because those come with more accessories. i've gotten the info of a really good private lesson teacher in the area (she not only teaches music full time through the public schools, but also does lessons and plays professionally in the orchestra), and once i've secured my instrument i will be contacting her to set something up. i'm really excited about it! it will probably be december before anything more truly comes of it seeing as how i am swamped with work and school right now.
okay, well this post has turned out to be much longer than i originally planned on it being. i'm about to have to go kick brian out of the studio (sorry brian! :) and soon after that others should be showing up. plus, i've gotta pick a topic for my argumentative essay. i was thinking same-sex marriage, but the paper is only supposed to be 3-5 pages long, so i'm going to have to come up with something that i don't care as much about. hmmm...i dunno...guess i should go figure that out.
have a great weekend everyone!

8 miles high and 3 hours til landing...
i...am...so...tired...
this week was odd, for lack of a better adjective. no...i think odd actually just about sums it up. at the first of the week i felt like it was never going to end, then by wednesday things took off and never slowed down. can't complain though...i'm still alive, i got paid, and i have a full tummy. works for me.
i've decided i'm going to learn to play the cello. there are two problems with this:
1. i don't own a cello
2. i don't even know where to begin when buying a cello
both of those are easily solved, however i....
wow...okay, serious des ja vou, or however the fuck you spell it. that's been happening a lot lately. and now i can't remember where i was going with that statement, so moving on.
nothing new going on really. i'm finally going to g-town tomorrow to take my mom out for her birthday that was at the beginning of the month. i still need to unpack boxes and get shit organized, but that requires energy, and these days i'm definitely lacking in that department.
well, methinks i will have a drinky-drink and play some PGR 4 goodness. night.

it's a cleansing process...
so it's been awhile since i've posted anything mainly because i have just been worn out from working two jobs, getting school work done, and moving. sunday's are the only day i get off, and i usually spend that time catching up on sleep and getting ahead on my homework.
so with all of that said, what is there to talk about and update on?
well, this past week we moved into a house, which is so amazing. it's 1800+ square feet of wonderful space with a two car garage and a fenced in backyard. fantastic!
i'm still loving both of my jobs, though they can both be stressful in their own ways at times. working with the kids has truly been a more than positive experience. i have so much more patience with people, which has come in handy working in the photo lab as well, though i will admit that that patience can still run out at the drop of a hat. school is chugging along, and since the majority of my classes are online i don't have to worry about sitting through a boring class or having a bad professor to deal with.
so that's what's going on in my life. as for everything else, there are two things i'm really excited about. in no particular order:
1. American Gladiators is returning to primetime television! w00t! haha, okay, so it's not ground-breaking news or anything, but it's fun silly-ness.
2. (and this one i really am excited about) superman 2 - the man of steel, which was to be the next installment of the brian singer debaucle, has been put on the backburner and delayed in lieu of the movie, 'justice league of america'. why does this rock? becuase singer is not a part of the justice league movie, and by the time warner bros. gets back around to doing the superman movie he will hopefully be busy with another project and unable to work on it. let's keep our fingers crossed anyway.
okay, well that's all the updating i'm up for right now, so i'm gonna go bug rob about dinner. he was awesome enough to go to fort worth with me today to the modern art museum after moving all weekend, so i promised to treat him to whatever he wanted for din-din. anyway...later all!
