hkellickGod, I'm tired. I hate having to get up at 6:30 for the cleaning lady :P
If I'm still this tired when she finally gets here, I'm just going to get her to clean my room and go take a nap and do the late to work thing.
Yay, being able to make my own hours! :)
Sunday night was cool. I had fun. I came to his house at 5:00. We sat around and played a couple of board games (Todd, himself, has a passion for board and card games. He has nearly the entire collection of Cheap Ass games as well as a selection of other... interesting games.)
So, in the end, we played, I think, a total of three board games: Frag (it's a board game based on all the 1st person shooter games, with the same basic logic to them. It even includes, if you want to use it, a capture the flag round), Chez Dork (basically, you're one of six Dorks (Computer geek type people) with various obsessions.. Computer Games, Anime, Furies, RPG, LARP, Warhamster (Yes, that was hamster not hammer :) ), Action Figures, Miniatures, Goth etc.) The person with 25 pts of "Cool Stuff" wins.), Chez Geek (which many of you already know how to play. That game was fun. I may have to try and invest in it. :) ).
In between, we each ate profusely (Between the pizza and wings, the homemade chili con queso and a refrigerator STOCKED with different sodas.), watched Scott, Todd's brother, play the new Gauntlet for PS2 and made and burned a bonfire (from those who don't recall, we had a bad freezing and then a windstorm which knocked ALOT of trees and branches down. The branches and smaller limbs had been collected, cut and shaped into a bonfire before we got there.).
I think I finally got home at 1:00. Tired and quite amused/happy.
Because, silly me, I figured (since mom had said as much), that it would be a light day work-wise.
She lied.
I don't know why I believe her. She always lies. I don't think she does it purposely.
It works like this, as an example.
"How many stops do we have tonite, mom?"
"Oh, just Walmart."
Five minutes later
"Oh, and we have to get gas."
We pull out of the garage.
"And we should probably go to Target."
At Walmart.
"Well, the selection here is bad, we should go to Arbordale."
It makes me want to throttle her. She's the same way with jobs!
She said we only had to do a couple things, so I'd planned on getting my laundry done and working on my MP3 Project.
What I ENDED Up doing was.. cleaning the house (for the cleaning lady), mowing and raking the lawn, trying to scrub rust off my car, going to a bunch of stores, dragging bags of dirt and stones around and STILL doing my laundry and working on my MP3 Project.
The MP3 Project is coming along. Slowly. I'm to MP3CD5 (the CD with all the 80s songs on it.) and I've learned a couple things...
1) I should edit my Big 80s Quiz. I made.. a couple mistakes. A couple of the songs listed actually came out in 1990 :/
2) I have ALOT of 80s MP3s. I doubt they'll all fit on one CD.
And I'm only doing the 80s, at the moment. I have ALOT of 90s songs, too! And alot when I do the 70s (or 50s, 60s and 70s. Not sure if I'll combine here. Depends, I guess, on how many songs I have!) CDs!
Ah well. I still believe this is going to be worth it. And when I'm done with the 80s CD, I'll burn it and, hopefully, be able to bring it to my brand new (yet to be delivered) Work PC that WILL have Winamp on it. Because, to me, Winamp and/or a CD Player are productivity enhancers. And it will kick much booty. Because I love me my 80s music :)
Actually... I love all my music :) That's why I burned it to begin with. I wanted to save it! :)
Back to the grind today. Gotta work on my Thesis project and try to figure a couple of things out.
Not much else to say. So I'll post. See ya.
