Wednesday, December 18th, 2002 at 3:35 am >> General.That’s right, 3:35… I haven’t been up this late a lot since… well… June, I guess. Friday night was an exception, though. Pixy’s parents went out to this Christmas party, leaving her to supervise her sister’s birthday party, which was a living nightmare. loq and I got there at ten to save her, but her parents were late, so we didn’t leave until eleven. And not a moment too soon, either. Gah. Too much estrogen in one house.
Anyways, loq’s parents called, so he had to go home sometime or other o’clock. After Pixy’s and my failing at trying to retrieve Lilo and Stitch from Hollywood Video, we watched Huck Finn (a favorite of hers that I didn’t even know we had) which lasted until 3:00 AM… But now it’s a few days later, 3:40 AM.
Why am I up, you ask? Did I see The Two Towers? Nope. Close, though. My mom and older sister (and Pixy’s younger sister) went to see the midnight viewing, and I was left home watching the children. I’d have gone to bed if it weren’t for Olivia being, well, a baby, and not wanting to sleep through her crying if she woke up. And she did wake up, so it’s good that I was up here.
Oh dear. I think I had a point, but I lost it. My thoughts are so disorganized… Anyway, speaking of thoughts, it’s a strange thought that I’m actually incapable of singing a song I wrote to the Protoman theme. Sad, too, because it’s actually rather nice. Oh well. You’ll see eventually.
Gah… I keep thinking I hear the phone ringing in my mom’s room. The one in the kitchen’s not, eh, there anymore, so I have to listen for if the phone rings… but it’s not. I finally realized it’s the computer… or moniter. Or something. Our computer is pretty loud at running… I’ve vacuumed it, but it doesn’t help much. It still humms, rings, and whines loudly. *sigh* Oh well.
Anyways, I installed the Google toolbar on IE. It’s so nifty. I got addicted to it after using it so much at work… And speaking of work, guess what? No. Nope. Nuh-uh. Not really. Nah. Eh? No. That’s right! Took you long enough. I got a raise! I went from $6.50 an hour to $8.00 an hour. “Meh.”, you say? Do I care? Hehe.
On some related notes… I redid a lot of the website, and started on the sister site. We’re getting new auction software (big jump), and moving into another building (another big jump) sometime this month. It means I won’t be able to bike to work, but the place is pretty close to Harbor Lights, so I’ll at least be able to go there now and then.
Anyways… Tomorrow, Pixy and I are going to watch Lilo and Stitch at her house. Of course, we just decided this right before she got offline for the night, so it’s not entirely planned out, but basicly I go get the movie after work and show up at her house, possibly calling beforehand.
3:54 AM-ness inspired me to IM my boss or his wife or whoever’s logged into their AIM name and active right now saying “This is Richard (employee, not customer)… just letting you know that, since my mother’s still yet to return, leaving me still watching children here at about 4:00 AM, there’s a good chance I may be eleven seconds or so late tomorrow. Today. Whatever you call it.”… I of course have to wonder if they’re up (which wouldn’t suprise me) or if AIM forgot what “Idle” means. No reply yet, ‘eh? Hmm.
Humm… trying to work on something for y’all to see… I’ll talk about it when it’s finished. Mom’s home now anyways. G’night.
