So I went to the Cinema City in Hartford to see "My name is Bruce" because BRUCE CAMPBELL was doing a Q&A session after the show.
I was thrilled to be in the same room with the greatness that is ... Bruce Campbell, and when he asked who would be the first person to ask a question.....
NO ONE RAISED THEIR HAND OR SPOKE!!!!!!
I was sitting there for a beat or two like WTF people?! So on the third beat raise my hand and *squee* he called on me XD
OH mai GAWD! So I warmed it up with a basic question ( because I didn't plan to ask him anything. )
ME:: "Why did you decided to do a movie - " Bruce:: Why wouldn't I do a movie? ( or something like that he said) ME:: "It *would* be entertaining to see you on the stage, but; Why did you decided to do a movie which was a parody of yourself as Bruce Campbell, the actor."
Hey....screw you bud, I didn't see you raise your hand first >.> ...critic.
So, the new job is going swimmingly. I really love it. I am starting to pick up steam a bit and get into pace. I have "doh!" moments ( like that time I forgot that Mircosoft actually / provides / help tutorials ); however as I progressively feel more comfortable, things all setting into place.
Today, I picked up my 2nd pair of glasses which I had ordered two weeks ago. I got a pair for computer only, and another for distance. I had gotten my eyes checked like last sept but never used the script to order glasses until now. The computer specs had come in early, but the distance pair got delayed. Keep in mind I can only pick them up via appt. I forgot to get them on Saturday, forget to get them yesterday, and finally went to grab them today.
My vision was so crystal sharp I was actually startled at how amazing everything looked. I couldn't stop starring at the tree tops in the far distance. I can actually see the edges of each leaf separate from it's siblings. I could differentiate color of each leaf on the tree as the fall foliage sets in. Oh the details! My eyes were like saucers, I am sure, and I didn't want to blink.
I am keeping them in reserve for driving only that is for definite. I am afraid to wear them to the movies.
Eddie got the new RA album but is doesn't have the song on it that I'd hoped for. It will probably be on Sahaj Ticotin solo record. I need to go to see them in concert while they are playing the clubs >.<
The My Language Coach for Japanese came out in the US for the DS on the 23rd of Sept. I have not bought it yet, but it's at the top of my TO DO list.
School is going well. I am doing Composition and Information Security Fundamentals. Fun Fun.
Other than that, nothing really new of note. I'll post more soonish.
Ok, this week I've made the firm choice to quit my job.
Hopefully it's all for a great benefit. I made some mistakes when I told my boss I was giving my two weeks notice, but sometimes when you disagree with how things are going, you can't keep your statements to yourself. I hope that she took what was said and makes positive changes for the future. If she doesn't then I won't be there to grit my teeth and bare it. Which I might add, I spent several months doing like a soldier.
I feel as if there is a message out there for me, but I don't know what it is trying to tell me.
I got up at a decent hour this morning which is not normal, and I didn't realize the time until I was fully awake. In an instant when I noticed it was earlier than it was.
Then after meaningless flipping of the channels on the Tele, Ed wants Pancakes. So we head out to this little hole in the wall diner, which serves some pretty good home style grub. While waiting for our food, I start to rummage through the pile of news papers they keep. I noticed there were two sports sections and they were the same. I checked the date to see if it was today's paper, and one of the two I choose to look at read Sunday, June 29th 2008.
I shit.....you not. I actually had to check my cell phone to verify what I knew to be true....it is SATURDAY the 28th of June. I mention it to the girl working there as I start to sift through the pages. All of the sections there read Sunday, June 29th 2008. Now I start to look at the two sports pages more closely and noticed that it wasn't just a typo and they weren't exactly the same.
There were 3 sections; the middle cover story with a picture of a baseball player at bat, a left panel article, and a top panel article. The one article that was not the same was the top panel article. I didn't read it, but I noted all of this and was a bit weirded out by it. So I read the ads. Ed said we were in a time paradox.
So I get home, turned on the Tele and the remake of the Time Machine is on. I actually watched it. I wanted to pass out I managed to stay awake watching the silly thing. My mind starts to race with all the knowledge of physics and theories on time and space that I have. Definitely not a mind set that makes me feel delighted.
I feel a bit insane with all this stuff bouncing around my brain.
Ok, so the 2nd semester has finally ended. I passed but I didn't get a 4.0 again, I almost did. 3.33 in the end. la sigh.
So I've got my next set of books and after this semester no more collage math! *Rejoice* I seriously need to clean up my computer. It's been lagging very badly lately when I am trying to run my lab simulations. Not cool at all.
I'd like to do that during my week off fro school, but I have to work so it's just not gonna happen, unless I can manage to get it all done over the weekend. I need another external hard drive >.<
Other than all of that nothing new, good or bad is going on with me. Steady as she goes.
I really love when I come across rare finds like this. Person did a great job on the cinematography and conveying the mood. All with a silly game like the Sims.
So I haven't posted in a long while.
I think I've lost my mind, or I have reached a fine point of clarity that I've committed myself to an institution.
I signed on with ITT tech online. I am studying for a Degree, Associates of Applied Science in Information Systems Administration.
Ha Ha had you going there, did I? No but seriously I am going to ITT online.
I'm on week 10 of three 11 week classes. I am holding down a 4.0 GPA, all while working 40 hour weeks at the same job I've been working at a year now. Not bad, but I am definitely looking forward to a job change.
First 3 classes were Problem Solving (which was was the worst), Introduction to Business in a Global society (fairly easy with a hint of challenge to it), and Strategies for Learning in a Technical Environment (super easy).
My next 3 classes will be starting the meat of the Degree program. Operating Systems, Collage Math I, and Introduction to Computing. One of these is 11 weeks and the other two will be only 6 weeks. Two of the books are over 1,000 pages. I wonder which will be the 11 week course.
At any rate, I am still alive and kicking. Just been focused and reclusive still. Much love to all of you still with me.
So my cat developed a urinary blockage. I had to take him to the vet, and it is going to cost me somewhere around 800-1160.00. I was able to get a 500.00 credit card from the vet's office to cover part of the cost. So I'll be paying that off for the rest of the year. I had gotten little sleep the night before,and a little bit of sleep when the anxiety of watching over the cat through the night until a vet was open had been killing me.
Then on that same day while I was at the Bank I'd left my keys there, lucky me I had a spare. They called me and let me know they were safe in their hands.
I am still not going to be able to move out of this place for a while. I thought I found a great place but I couldn't get the financing cause it was a mobile home property and that is just a bitch to get financed for....gee I wonder why? retorical question.
But on a small up side, today I learned that a woman I don't get along with at work either got fired or quit. I can't believe I actually out lasted her. She'd been there for 5 years I guess, and just couldn't handle it any more.
Again down side, mondays we're down a person. No different than all the days she's called out on monday but it's good to know I won't have to deal with her mood swings anymore.
I miss my cat.
I also feel for my dear friend Jo who's lost her cat Pixie after many years on the same day I ended up having to bring my cat into the vet. She was loved greatly. Also to my brother's new cat which had swallowed a bell and cost him almost 2k in surgery.
so minus the huge money loss and the fact I'll never get out of this condo, Happy thanksgiving to me.
Step 1: smile Step 2: extend arm out straight away from yourself. Step 3: point hand outward. Step 4: extend Index finger while curling other digits into palm. Step 5: laugh. and enjoy.
You are: Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. 1729-1796. Ambitious and intelligent, Catherine arrived in Russia from Germany in 1744 to marry the 16 year old Grand Duke Peter. His unpopularity allowed her to depose him, orchestrate his death, and proclaim herself sole ruler of Russia. Considering herself a ruler in line with enlightenment ideas, she supported progressive ideas, such as reforms in law, education, and provincial and municipal administration. But she ruled as an autocrat and suppressed Polish nationalists, which led to Poland's partition, and took the Crimea and parts of the Black Sea coast from Turkey.
