That poster belongs in a toaster.

The actual writing aspect of my blog is fading, so now I’ll attempt a real post. Legit-i-blog. My first instinct when sitting down at my desk at work is to fall asleep. Seriously. It used to happen when I got behind the wheel of a car so y’all can thank yer lucky stripes that I cannot afford car insurance. It doesn’t help that I was at work until 8:30 pm last night albeit for a very good cause; a new membership/financial program to save our sanity! If you’ve never heard my griping, the program we “use” now is actually completely useless! Five years and the programmer still cannot get any component to work properly without destroying something else. I’m glad I was there; cause I’m not saying I have any power or anything, but I think my arguments for the system may cause actual progressive action to take place. (Fingers crossed)

I left work, starving and shaky as I was coming down from the all the sugar I consumed during the meeting to keep me awake. Thankfully Erik was propelled out of his house by the mating rituals of his relations (well one relation + ms. Anonymous, as his abode is an incest free zone) and I was whisked to a place where food was served to me (instead of going home to the remains of the chilli I’ve been eating all week.) Lovely. I found out that our weekend of shopping has vomited itself into this week. Like Erik wins a prize for Walmart whore. He was sucked into the vortex for several hours on Tuesday, and then dragged (as if anyone has to drag me into Walmart) me into one at 10:30 pm last night. This time he pulled the disappearing act, and only when it had been announced several times that the store was closing, was I able to get him outta there! Whore! Bets are now open on how many different Walmart I will visit this week…

I got home at 11:30 pm and interrupted a battle of will between Chris and The Day After Tomorrow DVD sitting on Matt’s shelf. I sat down on the couch and it took me an hour of battling my own will to actually go to bed. Chris also had a very serious decision to make; when he adds a new shelf beside the current residence of his DVD collection, should he keep alphabetizing across onto the new shelf, or make it a continuation of the end of the alphabet? I suggested he put all of his favourite movies on it, because my DVD organizational system is based on favouritism and hottie actors. Matt’s system is sort of a combination of alphabetical/auteur/box set. 3QF is a strange place.
