dolariFinishing up while I'm awake:
0) Those darned cops
I was running just a little late for the Animation Festival that Dean invited me, too, I figured with a little creative driving, I could get there in plenty of time. However, at the first light I hit, I gained a police car. He kinda tailgated me , so I got on the freeway. And so did he. And then I got on another freeway. And so did he. And then I moved into the far right lane, since he was tailgating me. He moved into the far right lane. Then I got off the freeway. And so did he. Then I turned right on a side street...and he took off in another direction. I made it with 5 minutes to spare, sure, but I could have been there so much quicker.
1) Sick Animation
We managed to make it Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Festival. I was kinda expecting some seriously gross stuff (not expecting in a really GOOD way), but ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought. They really push the THIS IS SICK AND TWISTED routine hard. IT'S SICK! IT'S TWISTED! IT'S TWISTED AND SICK! IT'S SICK AND TWISTED! I was expecting the animated version of Faces of Death or something. What I got was LIQUID TV! WOOOOOOO! Good short film animation (some VERY short) and some GREAT flash stuff like "Here Comes Dr. Tran" and "Rejected" which is INCREDIBLY warped. Good time had by all, we even picked up a DVD (where we were told "You realize, this is Oscar winning classic animation. It's not the SICK and TWISTED and TWISTED AND SICK animation." I'd pick up the SICK AND TWISTED ones, sure. But the classic ones on there are really good. Although I almost picked up the one with Dr. Tran. HOW YOU FIND MY VILLAGE!?
2) Tearing a fingernail off
Nothing big here, just part one of Personal Injury Day. While reaching for my keys, I managed to snag a fingernail on my jean's pockets and yanked a good part of my fingernail off. Ow!
3) The kamikaze sidewalk
Part Two of Personal Injury day continues when, driving on the way to the grocery store from there, the sidewalk seemed to leap out at my tire and try to tap it. I've driven that road hundreds of times...I don't remember ever having to swerve around a sidewalk before. :) Truck survived, though without a problem (check back with me in a year when I shell out $2000 for a new axle)
4) Shopping for a thing or two
At the grocery store we shopped for a thing or two. Can't remember why I even though this was worth mentioning now.
5) Nearly gouging my eye out
Oh, yeah, cause if I didn't, this wouldn't have made any sense. :) Part three of Personal Injury Day. While putting up groceries, I opened the freezer door on our fridge, as well as the fridge door. I ducked down to put up some groceries and when I stood up, somehow the freezer door had managed to close just enough that when I stood up, the bottom left corner of the door, not only hit the top of my eyeball, but pushed hard on it. Lemme tell ya, you DON'T want to be feeling the back and sides of your eye sockets from the insides. After about five minutes of complete and total fear that I had popped my eye out, I have nothing to show for it but a mild black eye. I had some doubled/fuzzy vision for a few hours, but I'm all better now.
I've gotten in all my personal injuries for 2005 in one day...now is the time to jump out of windows and attempt to fly.
6) Getting a new butler
After all was said and done and my eye was only MOSTLY swollen, I finally got to work creating the newest addition to our computer family, Norman. Norman is our backups only machine. Tiny processor, tiny copy of Win 98, and HUGE hard drive. All the PCs in the house are backed up, and all their names are now switched around, too. With Dean gone, and the fact that I'm realizing I use the laptop a HECK of a lot more than I thought I would, I decided that my main machine at home was now Big O. The laptop is still R.DOROTHY and the new one is their butler NORMAN. If I get a PC that works against me behind my back, it'll be named Angel. If it hates it's job, it'll be Dastun. :)
7) Marathon housecleaning
And I cleaned house really fast. :)
