i hate the person my job makes me become. it is really turning me into a crazy and completely necrotic person. how do people do this for years and years?
i end up hating everyone around me and myself.
maybe this is a sign that it's time to get a new profession.

bring in the clowns
the barnum and bailey circus is in town at the Frank Erwin Center this weekend.
i just bought tickets for jeremy and i to go see it at 7:30pm tomorrow. i just printed out the tickets and put a little card on his keyboard saying: You are cordially invited to join A to the CIRCUS...where she will be eaten by a lion. so it shall be a nice suprise in the morning.
hehe. yeah. i don't really like the circus at all but jeremy has never been to one in his entire life. how one manages to go their whole life without going to the big top is a mystery to me. although now, they're all in air conditioned arenas and such.
the times i remember going, involved walking on loose dirt and sitting under a hot musty tent on wooden bleachers. .. oh yeah. i also remember the elephant poop smell. :) i wonder how much it has changed.

johns transformation
well, last week ended up being the week john decided to shed his college student skin and spend butt loads of money to buy some swanky new grown-up skin.
we spent all Thursday evening shopping for a new bed and sofa. he ended up getting both at eurway. i find the store to have great stuff for pretty decent prices. i'm still not into name brand furniture. i refuse to spend over 4k on a sofa set etc.
Friday, he and i cleaned out his room. we had huge stacks of clothes and junk to goodwill. i think we ended up using like 5 swiffer refill to dust the place. you should have seen the vacuum cleaner after the first run.
Saturday we picked up the bed and went to buy a mattress. he got a tempurpedic mattress. i'm so jealous. but the one i want is like 3200 dollars. can't afford to spend that much on such luxuries...yet
later that evening, john and i went shopping for bed sheets. i gave my best pitch to shoot for colors which didn't fall into the beige category. i'm in that phase of my life where i feel like we don't have to be afraid of color anymore. we ended up picking red sheets and a golden colored duvet cover. i haven't seen the finished product yet but i'll bring my camera over when i do.
Sunday, jeremy's parents came over for brunch. we went to eat at their favorite austin place, kirby lane.
i didn't get to play much WoW. i'll make up for it this week. :)

this house is not a home
ahhhhh. all of my co-workers keep talking about renovations they're doing to their house and all of the other pet projects they have going on. i personally hate renovation projects. i think they're worthless acts of vanity. lol. okay. i'm being harsh. i never understood the idea of fixer-uppers though. but whatever. each person has their own prefernces. but i am into personalizing and customizing and organizing. i love creating personal, creative, and efficient spaces.
i wish i had the time to get my house organized...and personlized. it's still so generic and void of personality....
sigh. oh well. i live in WoW anyhow...and my home is Ironforge. guess my house will have to wait a couple more months before it can begin to become a home

singing rat disappoints
went to ren's birthday party last night at chuckecheese. wow. the place needs some re-branding. i have to say that i was pretty disappointed. the entertainment was so sub-par. and the uniforms? hello. the servers/crew were wearing what looked like scrubs for nurses. pizza was decent. we got half supreme and half canadian bacon and pineapple.
what was funny was the songs the "animatronics" performed sounded exactly like porn music. disturbing really.
when i was a kid, the chuckecheese band stage was elevated and there was a moue hole you could crawl into underneath it. in the mouse hole was a whole playground which you exited into the main lobby. there was also a separate room that was smaller which had a stage where an elvis rat strutted his stuff in that white polyester suit.
i did score big at skeeball. i hit two 100,000 holes in a row! this little kid came and started taking the tickets that were coming out of the machine. her mom was like "don't take those tickets! they're not yours!" and i was like "you can have them! i don't need them." hehehe. my days of picking out plastic prizes are over. :)
hopefully ren will hook me up with some of the pictures we took with his cam.

early morning, unhappy girl
tonight i'm going out to chuckecheese to celebrate ren's 22nd bday. Should be interesting. i haven't been to a chuckecheese in about 15 years. hehe. the one in my hometown shut down when i was like 10 or something. i wonder if they still have the singing elvis-rat character. i loved that guy.
i have a meeting this morning with the owners of the project i'm working on. we have to go sell our "interiors" scheme to them. i had to get up early this morning because of it. but the funny thing is that it's like 8:50 in the morning and no on is at the office. hahaha.
since i come into work late all the time (9:30am) i never know when people show up to the office. it's good to know that peeps don't start showing up until 9 or so.
....
hahaha. my boss just came driving up and jumped out of his car. his door is still open and his car is sitting in the middle of the drive thorough fair. he came to my desk and was like "we have a meting at 9!?" and i was like "9:30" and he goes "oh! so i'm not late!?" ...
typical crazyness that goes on around here. i have a feeling he's going to call me into his office soon to review the scheme.
damn. the day started too soon.
