Ho Ho Ho.

Figuring out what I want to do for Christmas this year. The original idea was to drive up to my mom's, pick her up, and drive back to Columbus. I could still drive there and back, but 6-7 hours of driving all by myself in one day isn't exactly something I want to do.

Last year, I sat at home by myself, had a big fight with Heather after which she refused to talk to me, and watched House for most of the day. All in all a somewhat depressing Christmas, but not a bad one.

So I think this year, depending on what marathon is on, I'll either finish clearing out the basement, spend my day with another marathon, or have a most epic session of gaming. Yes, this is how I spend holidays when I'm either not with lots of family, or with someone I'm dating.

And because I know my darling sister will point out that I can go to her house... No. I love my niece and nephew, but I hate being around couples and their children this time of year, unless the couple involved are my parents. It's depressing. So I don't do it.

Day after Christmas, go to grandma's, duck out early, etc..

Sometime in January, I think Kristy + Family and I are going to Mentor to see mom, so that should be fun

I'm really nostalgic lately.

So, I got a call to set an interview for China, apparently on January 8th... Tho I found out today I have the option to do it much sooner, so I may jump on that and get it over with. Either way I won't find out til late January/early February if I get to go. I'm a bit nervous about it, which is weird... I haven't really been nervous about any of my previous job interviews, probably because... well.. so far I've always gotten the job, I guess. Oh well, best of luck to me?

I'm also really flippin' annoyed that one of the myriad Sarah's I know has told me repeatedly that I shouldn't go, she doesn't want me to go, and that she hopes I don't get the job. Who does that? I mean really. Especially since she has a boyfriend. Really, what the flip? Not cool.

Rainbow Edge

I've been finishing up Chrono Trigger, since I was basically at the end of the game to begin with (for DS, I finished it on the playstation sometime last year for the same reason). I picked it up right before my trip to CA, so it's basically what I played during the trip there, and at night in my hotel room before bed. I covered aloooooot of ground in that time, and apparently even finished all the side quests. I would have beaten the game entirely, but I used the trip back to play through all of Lego Batman, since it was a gift from Heather and I really hadn't touched it >_>

But anyway. Chrono Trigger. Amazing game.

I need to dig out my copy of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 to give to mom, because its an amazing game and I think she'll enjoy it. You will, mom. Look it up on wikipedia. :)

Wednesday is the zoo! There will be pictures.

I've kinda figured out what to do with the walls of the basement. There are wall graphics for Mario, New Super Mario, and Invaders... Definetely thinking of painting the walls black and putting Invaders on the back wall. It's that, or paint them light blue and use the Mario ones.

The clock is Megaman. Pillows and quilt are Link, from Zelda. I have a Link standee from Twilight Princess that will stand in the path to the back supply closet room place. Gotta buy the futon, my dish chair is going down there, there are already TV stands... Probably going to have an empty stand for when Robert brings his TV over (he has a 23" LCD that he prefers using whenever possible), the new TV in the middle, and a smaller one on the other side. Or maybe I'll just use two. I'll have to decide when everything else is down there. Regardless, I'm looking forward to having a room thats all things I want to be there. Once it's done I'm having a movie night, and inviting people to come over and hang out and watch Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.

Dragonfruit!

So much working -_-
Sooo sleepy.

Work til 3am tonight, tomorrow, 2am Sunday, 3am Monday, midnight Tuesday... bleh.

So the total cost for things that I want to buy for my basement is about $815, not including shipping on some things. This includes the futon, an 8" mattress (a "maybe", depending on how the one it comes with holds up), and a clock. Already have TV stand, my chair for down there, and the pillows and quilt are from grandma. I may make/ask to have made a crochet rug/blanket thing to put on the floor since its hardwood. I've seen what I kinda want for it, and it seems pretty easy to make, but I dunno. It's just a bunch of quilted squares stiched together to make a giant Megaman... or mario, or link, I haven't decided. I may get a tetris rug.

Soooooo I have to find out when my date with Sarah is, and I asked Ramona to dinner so I can get to know her better. Now I just need to not work alllllll the time.

Had my first phone interview for teh China, I think it went well. They said they'd give me a call to set up a face to face interview for the near future. Fingers crossed

Yesterday was Patch Day. Non-WoW players may not understand this... Patch Day is the day to do tons of stuff outside of the game, because... well... you can't play the game. What happens is, Blizzard will release a major content patch, which is necessary to play the game. They claim servers will be back up at 11 AM PST. Servers ACTUALLY come back up between 3 and 6 PM PST, maybe. For instance, yesterday, when all of my friends who play WoW (and, to a lesser extent, me) kept checking until around 7 PM our time for the servers to be up. I say to a lesser extent, because I think I only checked it twice. I had better things to do with my time yesterday. Tho I did log in eventually, run the new content, and get an item that I really only wanted for in-game lore reasons. (WoW is like a novel thats constantly getting bigger)

Next week, going to the zoo to see the lights with Ramona, Jennifer, and whoever else they bring. Should be a good time.

Didn't get to go with Sarah, btw, because she had a sinus infection.

Blaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhrage.

So in two weeks I'll have one less coworker... Which means longer weeks? Yeah, sounds about right.

I figured out how to do the happy fun time excel sheet I'm supposed to work on. And I did it without the assistance of the analyst that was supposed to help me. Thumbs up.

There are no less than 5 people I have imagined being in my favorite game as of late. Running up the them in 15th century Italy, snikt, walk away. Good times.

Also? People are stupid. Remarkably so.

New study finds that loneliness is contagious? Huh. Also, some lady claims she saw the Virgin Mary in a pancake. A PANCAKE.

If I built a giant robot with which to conquer the world? Oh, it'd be on.

Today has not been a good day. >.<
