Weekly Log - 27 through 2

Monday Oct 27

Mondays: they suck on toe jam. Hard. On toe jam.

Tuesday Oct 28

Job interview! Dragged my sorry ass to a mall to go to a job interview minding a shoe store. Somehow I don't think I'm gonna get the job. I saw the other girl who was applying for it - you know how it is with stores, they're looking for the most attractive face as applications go. Bet any of you a beer if I go to the store next week, I'll find the girl who was waiting for the interview aside me working there.

It's cold as crow today, the wind was picking up bad. I was glad I left my window shut and the blinds pulled all the way down. I can see wind like this breaking glass... too late did I remember I didn't have my jacket with me. Which proved to be more troublesome than merely being unprotected against the elements, as my house keys are in the jacket's pocket. I managed to open both doors, the building's and the house door, with a credit card. I shit you not. I opened both with a standard credit card like those they send you on the mail hoping you'll subscribe. This will surely be a good reminder to lock the door and double-check the bag for my keys before leaving the house. Waiting half an hour for a bus in the fuckin' cold did a good number for my throat alright. Hope I'm not getting ill...

Wednesday Oct 29

I'm ill. There's a quarter gallon snot stuck somewhere between my nostrils and forehead, my throat feels like I swallowed a living cat who tried to fight his way back up and I'm sore all over. I don't know why. Remember that commercial for hair conditioner, with a gorilla entering the house at night and messing with the guy's hair? I feel like a gorilla came in to mess with my hair and decided to beat the shit out of me instead. Hair was fine in the morning, it's the rest of the body that took the blow!

Comic updates: a series of Wolverine mini-series and one-shots, some as old as 1982 (uuh vintage...), a Forgotten Realms comic adaptation for R.A. Salvatore's Homeland, published by DDP (the style is remarkably like the Witchblade comic books I used to own... speaking of which, where the fuck are those? I checked my collection and realized I'm missing some comics...) I stumbled upon the torrent while looking for a .pdf D&D book called Drow of the Underdark, and since I'm reading the book, might as well check it out. What else? Oh, this is good shit: 244 numbers of Hellblazer. (because it takes a lot of canon Vertigo comics to wash my eyes from the movie adaptation of it) This oughta keep me busy for, oh... a week? Three days?

Thursday Oct 30

Bored again, so I took up to watching American Idol on the 'net. For the record, I never saw the show before, I had no clue as to who Clay Aiken was until a while ago (other than I hated to hear him sing), and I don't usually watch this sort of show. But alas, bored, and some parts of this, competition apart, were a riot. Much like half the world, I watch it for the bad auditions. I shouldn't have done it actually, because after hearing some guy singing Ain't no Sunshine, I am pretty sure something died in the world of music. It died and it's rotting under the carpet. And frankly, Simon let him off the hook easy peasy. I'd have said so much worse.

Friday Oct 31

Happy Halloween to those who actually celebrate it. Happy All Hallows Eve to most Europe and Happy Samhain Night to everyone else. I went out for a drink (or two... or three) with the guys to some middle eastern-style bar. We smoked sheesha, which is pretty cool and gave origin to a lot of jokes right there and then. Pretty sweet, but it probably helped fuck up my throat even further (well that or the two hours we spent afterwards talking in the freezing cold outside, or both). All in all it was a great night though and Ak'Bar is 100% approved. They also make a mean coffee and rum milkshake.

Saturday Nov 01

I had plans to meet some other friends today, had to cancel them, stay home and cook up something to get rid of this stupid ache. Started playing ForumWarz, which is a game pretty much based off real life if you ever sail your way to one of the 'Chan.

Sunday Nov 02

Bored, bored, bored. Cooked, ate, drank beer (4 cans) and discovered my copy of Okami doesn't run. Battled with the console for about an hour and a half, until I gave up and decided I was gonna have to find myself another copy. It pisses me off, because it's not a first, and it was an original copy as well. Is anyone getting this shit as well? My Silent Hill 2 sometimes freezes after entering the Silent Hill Historical Society (and it's a second copy of the game. The first I owned died the same way) and Soul Calibur 2 froze often after picking some characters for a VS match. Which is another reason why I love bootlegs. I have the original thing, it's not working, burn a copy, use the same save file. Balls if I'm going to buy another copy of a game I already have.
