a_bit_of_wit_2NOTE for VGH players: current battles are in the post before before this.
It's been over a week since a real live post in the ol' LJ, and for good reason. As most of you know or read, I worked a 50-hour workweek last week, taking on an extra 10 hours of voluntary overtime at work by way of working 7:30 AM to 6 PM. There were 2 reasons why I took the insane amount of work: the most important reason is that the funds I will get paid will give me enough for the Wii, Twilight Princess, and some extras. The second was...I'd have no ride to work, because April was going to take the early hours even if I didn't. So, the overtime was half-voluntary. Needless to say, I ended up going to bed by 9:30 every night, and now that the early overtime has ended, I recovered all the lost sleep over the weekend.
So, the week wasn't really that eventful, save for the contest getting underway and Annie coming last weekend. However, this weekend, despite the icky weather, allowed me to play a LOT of Kingdom Hearts 2, and currently, FF12 is on the back while I attempt to finish KH2. Also, yesterday was spent going to the mall and BJ's, and today we shall be going to Mohawk Commons--I'm going to see about getting a book at B&N, and then possibly getting a Betta. The name of the fish will depend on the color--red, white, or black will be Rubedo, Albedo, or Nigredo respectively. Who knows? It may change at the drop of a hat.
In other news, "Dan squared" will be coming this Friday, which is always fun.
So it appears that my cubicle at work will be getting a little bit of a makeover, as I delved into some nerdiness--I gave some more money to the Brothers Chaps and purchased their Ultimate Figurine set--21 figurines of various characters in the Homestar Runner universe, including all of the Cheat Commandos. They'll do nicely around my Betta.
In other news, I'm still awaiting money for the Red Sox Hammer that I sold on eBay 2 weeks ago. While the deadline for payment was last Friday, I'm taking into account holiday weekends and shit. Still, it's getting a bit annoying.
I've also agreed to sell some stuff on eBay for Kat--she needs money, so she wants me to sell her BPAL--anyone interested? That should go up on eBay whenever she sends me all the details: as far as I know, it's a lot of 12 imps, most of them barely used, a couple unused, and 1 5mL bottle of a limited edition smelly thing, barely used. More details on that later.
Edit: No fish today, but setting up my tank to get said fishies. Also, we purchased a new mattress set, because our bed is dead, and I need a new bed to take sexual punishment with. Teehee teehee.
And since today is Martin Luther King Day (and a paid day off for me), I think I should pay some lip service to the holiday--after all, isn't equality among everyone we all want? So I throw some lyrics by a good James Taylor song at you, called "Shed A Little Light."
Let us turn our thoughts today
To martin luther king
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
We are bound together
By the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead
We are bound and we are bound
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest
(chorus)
Shed a little light, oh lord
So that we can see
Just a little light, oh lord
Wanna stand it on up
Stand it on up, oh lord
Wanna walk it on down
Shed a little light, oh lord
Cant get no light from the dollar bill
Dont give me no light from a tv screen
When I open my eyes
I wanna drink my fill
From the well on the hill
(do you know what I mean? )
- chorus -
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest
Oh, let us turn our thoughts today
To martin luther king
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
And now, time to feed and then go out.
