The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. It's amazing, It's wonderful. Everyone should watch it all the time.

Everyone should also watch firefly all the time. it's got a wiki, which should prove that its amazing.

oh happy day

Crappy day at work, but none of that matters anymore. I got home and a book was waiting for me, The Manuscript Found in Saragossa By Jan Potocki. I've heard some great things about this book and have been wanting to read it for quite some time now. If only I could get a book in the mail everyday.

I think the history channel is reusing interviews, they've been running all sorts of pirate shows this week thanks to the 3rd pirates movie coming out and I know I've seen some of these same interviews on different shows. Oh, I just heard something stupid, they're talking about medicine on the pirate ships specifically amputation, this guy said something about how hard amputations would have been to watch since there was no anesthesia to speak of... maybe its just me but I would think that the hardships of the audience would pale in comparison to the hardship of the person being operated on.
I complain but do I change the channel? of course not, well not for 5 minutes anyways when the daily show comes on. and then back to the history channel and then to comedy central to watch futurama, tomorrow I'll wake up and turn on the history channel again.

As long as I'm talking about television, comedy central has a new show coming out called "little bush" it looks oh so stupid. come on already Bush talks funny and does stupid things, we all know this let it go.

Hiho hiho

Once upon a time staying up till 5 in the morning would have bothered me, at least I think it must have, I can't really remember when that time was. my current theory is as long as I'm asleep before the sun starts to come up I'm ok, which is something I actually failed in last night, but you can't win them all. between messing around with the colours for this blog (i finally threw together a color scheme that doesn't instantly make me cringe, though I'm not sure about that light blue in the background), and flipping back and forth between the history channel and adult swim there was just no time to sleep. not that it really matters, I work 3:30pm till midnight, I'd be hard pressed to oversleep and be late for work.
heh, if by some miracle I did oversleep and was late for work they'd never even notice if it wasn't for that damned time machine, not the clock, the one below it where I swipe my card through. I don't actually do anything at work, I'm there for 8 hours, things I do that can actually be considered work take up maybe four hours, maybe, that's if I actually put my mind to it. an average day at work for me consists of a couple of hours walking around trying to look like I'm working, hanging outside in the smoking area chatting with the security guard, playing final fantasy on my gameboy, calling people on my cellphone, and just to keep things interesting I do actual work in between all this slacking. which I'd like to say isn't actually slacking on my part, I get all of my work done,there just isn't 8 hours worth of work for me to do each day.
First job I've had thats been like that, the aquarium kept me busy; at the various coffee shops there was always something I could be doing; the daycare... if I had even thought about taking my eyes off those kids for 5 seconds the world would most likely have ended; the kitchen, well I spent most of my time trying to hide from my crazy manager. I don't like it, at first I spent a lot of time worrying that somebody's going to figure out just how little I do there, then I realized that nobody else really does all that much work either that did soothe my troubled mind a bit. still, it gnaws at me, our dept just had our budget cut and my 90 day review is coming up which means that for another week or so they can lay me off without having a reason, so I'm getting worried again, but we persevere. Out of curiosity, are there any songs that put going to work in such a happy light as the one the seven dwarves sing? every song I can think of about work and going to work is rather negative, I guess if I owned a diamond mine I might be cheerful about going to work too.

Today at work i'll be playing final fantasy 6 all throughout the day, reading South of the Border, West of the Sun on my break. then comes my favorite part of the day my walk home with my ipod, I think today will be a Bowie day.

lonely werewolf girl

So...
there's this author: Martin Millar.
I've read one of his books The Good Fairies of New York and I loved it. Ever since I read it i've been sitting on amazon drooling over his other books which are just way to expensive (for example Dreams of Sex and Stagediving for $41.72 used, and Ruby and the Stoneage Diet for $50.52) since with the exception of the good faeries all of his books have been published in the uk and haven't found their way over to our shores as of yet. As it turns out Martin Millar has a new book coming out in june called Lonely Werewolf Girl, sadly it won't be published in the US either. I bought it anyways, I'm very very happy.
Long story short, read Martin Millar (any Neil Gaiman fans? you'll love this book), the Good Fairies is affordable on amazon, buy it, read it, love it, join me in the misery of waiting for his other books to be released in the US.

EDIT:: I spoke to soon, I was browsing amazon just now in a post work daze I came across Milk, Sulphate and Alby Starvation for a really good price and snagged it. so, two books affordable on amazon at the moment.

Type in your last.fm account name, or somebody else's, it will play music videos based on your listening habits. Fun stuff. I opened it up and got a video from The Pixies followed by The Beatles now i'm watching a Neutral Milk Hotel video. It made and is still making my day.
