go... gamma... go

yeti shirts! weenie-dog purses! i want! i want! i want! well... somethings i want to buy as gifts for people. i would like a little weenie-dog purse though. they are adorable. have no idea what im talking about? check out the gamma go sale tomorrow! or at least look at their stuff online.

so much stuff to do this weekend... gza show tonite (hopefully i won't piss off any big guys with my beligerant drunk ways... like last time), teshia's bday dinner, sharks game, MOVIES galore... walk the line & harry potter, softball double headers.... and a midterm on monday. it makes me happy also to think how i only have 2-3 days of work next week. and that i get paid again on wednesday (or technically tuesday @ midnite). AND THAT IT'S ALMOST THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!! i get hungry just thinking about it.

well its past my getting off of work time... i want to go home and sit my ass on the couch and watch an hour or so of tv before i have to leave to go out for the nite.

last parting words: wal-mart pisses me off.

i wanna crash here right now...

mood: cheerful & motivated
music: new pornographers- twin cinema

so... ive decided that there is something i need to work on about myself. im going to make a conscious effort to try and stop taking things personally all the time, and try not to be overly sensitive about things as well. lately ive just noticed that ive been really sensitive when it comes to certain people in my life, family & friends, and it gets to the point of really bothering me. it just makes me think too much about what it was that really made me get THIS upset? and i dont know anymore... whether there are really other issues that are bothering me, or if its just me taking things personally and reading them a certain way that they arent meant as. so yes. thats my little revelation....

do coffee and strawberries go together? that's my breakfast. i was going to try and kick my coffee addiction, and make the switch to green tea, but i think i'll just drink both. with the coffee im just going to stop with all the sugar... drink it black..... although, i did that yesterday and i thought i was losing my mind. this time, when me and my co-worker traveled next door to the overly-priced expresso garden, i added a little milk and one sugar. i think i liked it better black. i need to channel all the caffiene energy thats about to hit me, into wanting to do manual-labor-type work today, because i really want to organize the office here. i have a lot of that kind of energy for some reason. ive also been thinking about ways to rearrange my apartment because, well... basically because i get bored.

ive also decided that i miss writing. i miss being a blogging whore. even if its just stupid and uninteresting things i did one day, or random ass thoughts that pop up into my head. im going to write about them.

i think the fact of the matter is that with my graduation approaching im starting to get a little stressed out about what exactly i want to do with the rest of my life... not that i have to figure it all out. i dont believe that people should have to do that. its just that the questions keep coming... them: "so what are you going to do now"... me: "i guess... work." me again: "yes. at the same place i've been for six years." its just getting a little depressing for me.

bamboo 7 last night was fun. managed to control the drinking (which is usually a bit hard there), kept it down to only two beers over a two-hour + timespan. i was pretty proud of myself. plus i left around 11-ish, which alan made sure to call me "grandma" before i left. thanks. thanks a lot. no one from our group really sang, except lulu of course, who sang the carpenters. though maybe people sang after i left.

ok. the caffiene has hit me. i need to go and start organizing... while lorna is gone. then i can actually get rid of stuff.

the new pornographers make me giddy!!!!!!! and want to dance and sing and act like the silly & crazy person i am. or more like a 13 year old........

peace out.

O'Reilly to San Francisco: "[I]f Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. ...

i'm here at work still... around 7:20 p.m. they keep shutting the lights off on me.. because county employees generally call it a day by 5:30, latest. goodness gracious, whats a girl doing working til 7:20 p.m.?

any way... basically im catching up on my blogs, news, gossip, etc... and i came across bill o'reilly's latest moronic comments about san francisco's political views as a city. lets just say i've gotten very distracted by this... yes i'm put off by his comments, yes im annoyed, yes im a little scared, but im also a little entertained. this guy is something. i recommend reading the transcripts . they are pretty great. he says the same thing OVER and OVER. he continues to throw out 9/11 as a reason for going to war, but what does that have to do with IRAQ? these same stupid arguements. any way... read the transcripts and follow the links to delve deeper into the story because it does make for a good read. to entice you... here are a few choice quotes that i found especially brilliant:

If I were President Bush, I would just go in and say, “Alright, that’s fine. You don’t want to help us in World War III? We’re just gonna withhold federal funding, except for children’s programs.”

You know, this is the hallmark of the left: Cheap shot everybody. Come out with the most insane things you can. Convince your Kool-Aid drinking crowd to follow you. Look, San Francisco is a beautiful city. It is now a disgraceful city. You can’t even walk around the city without seeing people doing appalling things in the streets.

What I said isn’t controversial. What I said needed to be said. I’m sitting here and I’m looking at a city that has absolutely no clue of what the world is. Yet the left-wing, selfish, Land of Oz philosophy that the media and the city politicians have embraced out there is an absolute intellectual disgrace.

You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead."

im getting tired of reading about san francisco as being all left-wing liberals... there are some amazingly progressively-minded advocates in san francisco. there's a huge difference between the two... and really i could go on for days about this crap, but i will let you read for yourself and form your own opinions.

besides... im hungry and korean bbq is calling me.

xoxoxo,
nicole, your abscent blogger...
