I haven’t blogged about arts and crafts in awhile. So I thought I’d share this.
Princess Barbie gave it to me a long time ago. It didn’t have anything around the V-Neck so I added the charms by hand, some with glue and some with some basic hand sewing.
The blue bead is a bunny (sewn when I was 17). It seemed like a good idea at the time. In a way it was like sewing the past onto clothing.

I was greeted by Turkey tonight. It’s a tradition to have Turkey and the trimmings the day before thanksgiving. It always tastes better the 2nd day anyway.
That said, I’m currently resisting the urge to nap.

Barely survived today. Thanksgiving grows near and the last minute shoppers are attacking in hordes. Emotions run high in the work place when things don’t get done.
There was a sugar spill that I couldn’t get to right away. Mostly because the work cell I was holding kept hounding to get this or that for customers. One of the checkers had the nerve to tell me that I should have made cleaning the sugar up a priority. Technically cleaning up sugar at a check stand isn’t my job, so… Getting eggs and butter for a bunch of waiting customers is less important I guess. I told my boss that and he had a wtf look on his face. Oh, I’ll have to do it again tomorrow too… I was going to have the day off but I volunteered for extra hours.
That bullshit aside, my Logitech G15 came today and it actually works!!! Plugged it in and the display lights up. This one’s even better, the backlight on it is a nice blue color and the LCD display is not only larger but can be folded up and down like a laptop. Real nice investment if I do say so myself…

I’ve said this many times in the past. I hate going to bed early. It doesn’t matter how tired I am. I’m just not a day person. I ended up lying in bed for hours on end with my eyes closed. The temperature was fine so I’m unsure what would have kept me up.
That aside I survived another day, being horded by zombie customers in search of butter, eggs and turkeys.
It’s been raining non stop the last few days. Staying in the early 50’s mid 40’s and possibly getting into the 30’s later in the week. It feels like summer!
Now onto my mission to eliminate the many bath products I have. I managed to use the last of my organic Christmas soap. Tonight I’ll move onto lemongrass.

I saw the funniest episode of The Cleveland Show tonight. Cleveland Jr and that really fat wife that’s bound to a motor scooter banded together to pass a law that would make it illegal to discriminate against fat people after growing tired of fat jokes. After the law failed to pass they were quite distraught, and so they searched for a place they would feel more welcome (while making constant food stops). They came across a utopia with a water fountain that spouted chocolate, morbidly obese birds that fall out of the sky, a hot air balloon with one guy in it dragging on the ground and a bunch of trams throughout the town to eliminate walking… This beautiful land was known only as Wisconsin. I might have to put a link to hulu when it becomes available. Whenever I watched that show I always thought it had a few funny moments but being overall meh. This was heefuckinglarious. I could actually see this country becoming fat enough that they would depend on trams for transportation. The only problem would be getting trams and escalators that won’t short out from having to haul all that weight around.
The Family Guy episode where Brian writes a crap novel, becomes a famous douche and gets a spot on Bill Maher was classic too.

Well, I got enough L4D2 in to makeup for the month lost on it. Caused a bunch of people to rage and a few to favorite Slackers L4D2 Slaughterhouse!
It’s just as well because I probably won’t be around tomorrow night. I get off of work at 10pm and have to be back at 9am.

It’s cold outside, I’m enjoying an eggnog chai and some curried tuna and rice.
Contemplating who to kill next…
>Things I learned today
For the L4D2 dedicated server I have to erase the IP address from the command line just so I’m able to do a lobby connect.
HL1DM:S was so unpopular that it never got ported over to LDS.
Despite DMC being as old as it is, it’s still fun.

I was waiting for a ride home from work tonight when all of a sudden this dude asks me where his car is. I told him that it was his own responsibility. XD
Seriously, he asks me this when there’s only like seven fucking cars in the parkinglot?
Fail…
