Word to Fat Tuesday

Happy Mardi Gras everyone. Here’s the new layout (at least for a little while). I kind of threw it together rather quickly after finding a template that was easy to customize, unlike the last one.

So Lent starts tomorrow. I’m attempting to give up chocolate and soda. We’ll see how it goes. Also, I felt like I had to try way too hard to eat a ton of food today. At dinner tonight I had little more than a salad. I put some pizza on my plate but didn’t feel like eating it. This is hard!

Well, happy Lenting. Don’t forget to fast between meals tomorrow and don’t eat any meat!

Word to money

Last week was kind of the worst week ever, with all the work stuff. But now I’ve got a giant paycheck to look forward to on Thursday. Actually, that paycheck is one of the only things keeping me going this week. Sweet money!

And since I worked almost full time this week, I’ve been thinking a lot about just blowing that extra money instead of saving it.

So… what should I get?
a. a black-on-black-on-black TimBuk2
b. a pair of black dressy shoes
c. Walk the Line and Pride & Prejudice on DVD (out tomorrow!)
d. clothes
e. this shirt

Really… I need some help deciding.

Word not to work

Sometimes I really hate my job. And working in general.

I hate that I take pride in any job I do. Well, I don’t hate that. I hate that no one else at my job does. I feel like I’m always picking up the slack.

But the thing that bothers me the most is that I always get berated over some shortcoming that happened during a shift I worked (and sometimes during a shift I didn’t work). I just kind of shut my mouth and take it. I don’t know what else I can do.

I know a lot of people hate their jobs. But I feel like there’s this complete lack of professionalism in the management and some of the employees. I just don’t know what to do.

Word to Frappacinos

Okay, here’s the first in a multi-part series entitled Things You Should Know About Starbucks.

1.  If you order a non-fat drink with whip cream, I will think you’re an idiot.

and since this is a first part, I’ll through in another tidbit.

2.  None of the “light” frappacinos come with whip cream on them.  Sure, it’s no big deal for me to put it on, but then why did you order it “light”?

Word to Jack

I found a new internet toy. The Jack Bauer fact generator.

My current favorite:
Jack Bauer cries when he watches “The Patriot.” Not because he’s sad, but because he could have won the Revolutionary War by himself in 24 hours.

Word to V-day

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I hope you all get to see the ones you love. I’ve already had some time with one of the loves of my life: my semi-daily strawberry waffle.

Later on I’m going to be spending time with some real special people in my life:

1. Charlie Conway

2. Adam Banks

3. Gordon Bombay

4. and… the Pizza Hut delivery guy.

That’s right. I’m ordering a “cheese pizza, just for me” (Kevin McCallister) and having a marathon of the Mighty Ducks trilogy. QUACK!

Word to Disney Channel

I finally got to watch High School Musical tonight.  Bravo, Disney Channel.  I’m impressed.

I am no longer miffed at how popular the soundtrack is on iTunes.  But thanks to one amazing torrent file, I got the movie, making of special, and soundtrack for free.  Oh, precious internet.  What did I ever do without you?

Word not to cafeteria

Alright, so I wake up almost every morning at literally the crack of dawn to eat breakfast in the cafeteria alone.  I pull myself out of bed at 6:50 and get there just at 7:00 when it opens and tada!… it’s only me who’s crazy enough to do that.

But if I get there first I get the best waffle.  And the first bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios.  And the first cup of coffee.  (Not to mention that if I went later the coffee would be old).

So yeah, I eat breakfast at 7.  I love it.  But today was different…

Everyone and their mother woke up early this morning to have breakfast.  Instead of a mountain of 12 half-waffles to choose from, I only had 3.  And the Honey Nut Cheerios were already half-gone when I got there.  And when I sat down… there were people in the tables next to me.  I usually sit in the room off the main room; I usually have it to myself.

I just thank God that I had the good sense to shower last night.  Oh, college students.  Please don’t get up early again.  It vexes me.  I’m terribly vexed.

Word to Supernatural

Alright… I have a question to ask you guys.

Do you watch Supernatural?

You can just pick a response from the list…

a. OHMYGAWDNO. Why did they let Dean Forester have his own show when he sucked on Gilmore Girls?

b. YESSSSSSS. Jensen Ackles is sooooo the pretty.

c. Yes. It’s creative, well-written, and soooooo the new X-Files.

d. WTFNOOOOOOOOOOO. Are you crazy? The WB. Woman, please!

Word to spawn

Happy Spawn day! No, I’m not encouraging you to have spawn. I’m talking about 24. What will Kimmy Bauer be up to tonight? I hope the cougar finally got her, but we’ll see.
