alright so i hadn't gotten around to posting on my birthday yet. haven't quite found the time really. it was fun. i was quite pleased with the turnout of attendance. we stayed at the essen haus for a couple hours. started with a boot, then scott decided we needed to do steins... um... my fucking god... 5L of beer. we did two. i thought we only did 2 boots, i'm told there where at least 4. so if anyone is not doing the math, that is 18L of beer consumed by about 12 people... egads

after the last boot was consumed, and bills paid (there's still some confusion to this as they lost my initial tab for the boot, and they kept my check card, must go get that back) we trudged up to the Dane. lost scott along the way (we noticed him talking up some chick at the cardinal *snicker*) but he reappeared later. i manged to piss off the snotty bartender by ordering a sampler. yes i know they're a pain in the ass to pour, but the $10 tip i gave him should have made it well worth it... prick.

had me a good time. drank waaaay too much fucking beer. then the shots where probably a bad idea, but meh. went back to my place, attempted to play guitar hero and then passed the fuck out.

sunday was a miserable horrible morning. i needed to die. spent the first few hours tyring to force myself to vomit out the toxins. then i napped. woke up to a kitty curled up in my shoulder and a trevor curled up by my legs. talk about adorable. and, thank fucking god, i felt better.

flamestar_m hung around for the majority of the day (she was also battling the hang-over from hell). i watched trevor play some x-men on the ps2 and ate pizza rolls (mmm... greasy pizza rolls are the cure-all). in the evening we dropped flamestar_m at her car, had dinner at perkins and then rented x-men and x-men 2 (since someone had not seen them yet) and called it a lazy movie night.

it turned out to be a very very nice way to spend my birthday. i was pleased.

now i have work today and for half of tomorrow. but! i get to sleep in for the rest of the week! yay sleeping in! i decided that since i have a dentist appointment at 11am tomorrow that instead of taking my half day in the afternoon that i would sleep in, go to the dentist and then go to work. which works out nicely since there is a run in WoW tonight. so i can stay up however late i want. and trevor is happy because he doesn't get woken up at 6am when the alarm goes off. ;)

thursday i have an early appointment to get my taxes done. i'm thinking, that after i find out what the actual and final damage will be, i'm going to go car browsing. i don't say shopping because i still have a few things i need to figure out (like the apartment issue) but i want a better idea of what i can get, if i can even get a loan and i want to talk to my insurance agent about cost of insurance on a few choice vehicles.

other than that. i have time off and no real plans. this makes me so very happy. now to jsut get through the rest of today...

so... apparently an entire WoW forum thread got started based on office space quotes...

some are pretty funny

last night wasy freaking busy at pedro's. thankfully there where four of us on in the bar. i was hardly able to keep up and i only had half the section i had last week! eep! and i made almost as much money! my god, money will be so good there on thursdays. so glad i'm cocktailing thursday now.

mj, j and hippie came in last night. i didn't get to talk to them for more than a minute or two. but it was so nice to see them. especially my mj as i won't see him now until sunday.

speaking of. heading up to j's parents for the weekend. god i need to get out of town. think we're still planning on staying at the lake cabin, that will be nice. leaving sometime after work today. mj ended up unable to go since he now has to work on sunday. poo. *sigh*

well i gotta run off and get to work or some such nonsense. lets see if they actually ahve something for me to do today.

oh and on another good note... i was a little hasty. WoW is playable. but i doubt i'll be able to raid. i tried in WSG yesterday. and it ran fine. so thats with 20. which means AQ20 and ZG should still be okay. we'll have to see about MC and BWL though.

so. tonight i got home from class and mj had dinner ready. we had a nice night of GG and VM with chicken fried rice and wine. i'm not entirely happy with where they are going in either show. i have decided that i really like Logan on GG (there are logan's on both shows... go figure) and that i don't know that i like where they took Rory... but eh. i missed about 18 episodes of this season... so that's a lot of character development shot. as for VM, i'm still unhappy with this season... just doesn't do it for me like last season, but whatever. they're still so much fun to watch.

after the shows i logged into WoW. mostly to just check mail and what not. instead i get invited to do Onyxia.

ok, sure. then drama hits. our guild was (emphasis on was) partnered with another guild. they told us two weeks ago they didn't need us anymore. fine. whatever. however tonight we had invited some of their members to help in Onyxia. this is where i come in. i log on and get invited. well apparently some of the other guilds members where waiting for invites. so they all leave us. that puts us at 28 for Onyxia (a 40 man raid) well we're already there and decide to do it anyways. what the hell right? so we wipe, at least we tried.

we took her down. we did it. with only 28 we killed the dragon... its so sad and pathetic how very very cool this is. but it really is. anyways. i crash now. work and work tomorrow, a guaranteed long day.

this weekend wsa both interesting and very very nice.

the show on friday was fun. unfortunately it was hot and mj wasn't feeling so well, but still fun.

saturday i worked a double. it was terribly slow for both shifts and in the end i was done by 9:30 and home with $78 in my pocket for the day. not very good, but oh well. mj and i had a wonderfully quiet night at home watching season five gilmore girls. its was quiet and nice, except for the brief fire alarm issue (as in someone on the first floor burnt something and it set off the buildings alarm system at 1am...)

this morning i had to work at 10. today was painfully slow. they kept me until 1 "just in case" but in the end i only had 2 tables and made $11. however, i got home and finished all of my photoshop assingments. i have one assignment left, the "final." i would do that today as well but i'm burned out on photoshop and will instead play a bit of WoW.

tonight... who knows! i have off work. and i have next sunday off as well! originally i was scheduled off friday (an error, they still had me down as having requested off from this last week) but i asked them to put me on as i could really use the cash, especially since i only made $89 this weekend (usually i make about $200). so yeah.

now, WoW.

well i just finished uploading the entire Caustic show to iMovie. it's full 9g glory is currently moving to my HD... this will take a bit. oi.

tuesday i'll upload the Stochastic Theory show.... also i need a couple more interviews... i'm working on getting the camera for that. i was hoping to just keep the camera an extra day, but they had issues with that... hence no interview with not_eurotic tonight... maybe next week, i'll let you know.

after i upload the ST show, i will start the editing process... this should be... interesting fun. :D

tonight i go home early. spend time with boy, have dinner and either watch shows or play WoW...it's still undecided.

so somethings wrong with my video card i think. either that or my settings got hijacked and are completely fracked at the moment. right now my settings are at 1024x768.... this is wrong. it's always been 1280x1024... however, when i set it to the new setting, everything gets bigger. not smaller as i am accostomed... no it's much bigger and everything goes off the sides of the monitors...

and it gets worse. when i log into WoW, everything is HUGE. all of my tool bars are cut off... all i can really see is my character... i can change the settings in game and make them smaller (by going down to a bigger resolution) but then the games looks like shite.... *sigh*

i know a project for a certain boy today.

anywho. work in an hour. then party. yay party!

tuesdays suck because not only am i up early, but every tuesday is maintenance day for WoW. the game is likely not going to be up until about 1 or so... boo! hiss!

anyways. i've decided that a shamrock shake and fries is not the best way to cap out an evening. oi. but work was really good last night. it was slow, way slow, and then, just before i got cut, i got a table of 9. it actually ended up being very cool. they where pretty easy. they ordered right away and while i waited for their food i got my section cleaned. then after their food came out i got my side work done, all the while i was checking on them and they seemed pleased. in the end i got a $20 tip off them ($95 check! woot!) and when they left all i had to do was clean their table, do my bag and get the heck out. it was nifty. so in the end i actually made good money, for how slow it was, and i was home by 9:30!

today i am going to watch the last two weeks of galactica and wait for WoW to come up. then it's off to school for me. mid-term today in web animation... hrm....

all i wanted to do this morning was play WoW. i really wanted to get cecily to 30 today. but... charter is a fucking 'ho. i was getting disconnected all morning. thought it was my system. found a thread on the WoW site where a bunch of people where posting about this issue. then someone posts that their on charter in madison. everyone in the thread is with charter in madison. so. about 30 angry gamers have called charter to bitch. at first charter was saying it's blizzard, blizzard is saying it's charter. but now it sound like their actually talking to each other and they know there's a problem and they're trying to fix it.... still annoying though. i was so looking forward to leveling. *sigh*

today we are going to lunch at BW3's. or that was the plan at least. mj had to go into hill farm's this morning. something about the servers... dunno... anywho. about 20 minutes ago i got a text message from him that simply said "oi, with the poodles already..." this translates into "i'm in fracking hell" of that i'm sure.

so no word on when he's done... sigh...

anyways. didn't do a whole lot this weekend. friday went to wendy and drew's and got loaded on beer and really good food. mmm... drew grilled steaks... so very good. watched BSG and played a bit of WoW.

saturday went over to wenhaver and driant's at around 10ish to help move. i hardly did anything. i'm really terrible at the moving thing. mostly because i'm not motivated at all and really, i need to always be told what to do. i have this innane fear of doing the wrong thing, packing something that shouldn't have been packed or not how they want it done... blah. anyways. we only stayed until around noon when chris sent us home. ran some errands and then came home (errands included 30 minutes at the oil change place and 45 minutes at the car wash as well as movies and groceries)

mj decided he was far too tired to go out last night, especially since he had to be into work at 7am this morning. so i made a stew (not from a can! like i cut stuff and cooked it myself) which took about an hour longer than i had hoped. but in the end it was tasty. watch the forty year old virgin which was amusing, but more cuz of all the cast members from "undeclared" and then mr and mrs smith which we mocked, as expected. i also managed to take over a strat run (unitentionally) and lost another beaststalker peice to irvingmike (no bad feelings i just really get a kick out of teasing him about it. ;) mean, i know)

so yeah. now i wait. wait wait wait... i should take out the garbage... it's stanky... and it would be useful... yes this must be done before i log in... yes...
