Adam, after reading Wednesday's Penny Arcade... it occurred to me... Haven't we, on perhaps a few occasions, maybe several, had almost this EXACT conversation? Weren't you making the EXACT same face as Tycho? I am, indeed, like a shark:
Penny Arcade has never spoke more directly to me... well, maybe the one about watching Transformers: The Movie with a carton of ice cream and crying when Optimus Prime dies... but still, this is one of the top times that Penny Arcade has spoken directly to me... ... ... in a while. |

Heather and I have been COMPLETELY out of whack with our sleeping. Sleeping all day, up all night till 8 or 9 am... We've been getting good sleep, but the whole nocturnal thing... combined with being stuck in the flat without our car is driving us crazy. Heather managed sticking it through today and staying up all day. She went to sleep around 7:30 pm, which is a little early, but better than before. I slept all day, but after she went to sleep, I managed sleeping a little bit too, but got up around 11 pm. I REALLY don't want us getting on two completely different sleeping scheduals, so I'm gonna go take some ambien and hopefully manage sleeping and being back on a "normal"-ish sleep shift.
If we can manage sleeping during the night... doing some house work tomorrow... and maybe getting out of the house... I think it'll help. |

Hey everyone... well... not everyone, just Movie Night Crew.
Sorry that this isn't a more interesting/social/funny entry (especially since I haven't updated all that much in a while...), but I need some help. Hey, a Sean entry to follow... expect lots... of... ellipses and a lot... of rambling... PLEASE READ MEEEEE!
Specifically this is directed to whoever was over several months ago during the movie night when we watched Kung Fu Hustle. I think Adam M, Adam P, Kevin, Samire... and maybe Paul(?) were there...
If you recall, I had planned for us to watch OldBoy, but Adam brought over Kung Fu Hustle to watch instead. There was a little bit of a "hustle" (lol) and a bit of head butting between Adam and I over what-to-watch. We ended up seeing Kung Fu Hustle after quite a while. In all the shenanigans, before after and during the movie, SOMETHING happened to my OldBoy DVD. I didn't realize it till just recently, when Heather and I went to watch it.
Now, it was a while ago... so I don't really care if one of you hid it or took it as a joke (and I don't mean to accuse at all, it'd be totally cool if you did... I was being a dick that night anyway). It would make sense if you didn't remember doing anything with it, since again it was a while ago... but also, Adam and I were drinking copious amounts of Sake and there was much dicking around and rough-housing to boot.
ANYWAY, I still have the case... but its the DVD itself that's missing. Could you all PLEASE do me a HUGE favor and look through your stuff, bags, DVD cases, etc? Even if you don't remember doing anything with it, please please please look. I really want it... and if no one can find it, I'll likely be BUYING a new copy... but I'll wait till I hear from you guys. If you guys could pass the word onto each other, too, when you see this entry, just to make sure everyone looks.
Like I said, I really don't care*... no hard feelings, you bastards, but if I got it back I would be SO SO happy... and it'd be nice to save the cash. Thanks a whole bunch... and we should all get together soon to hang out or go out and do something. Thanks again.
*Well I DO CARE, I just care about getting it back... I don't care if you took it or whatever. |

Yet another reason to wish I was lined up at the movie theater in Japan: Tokyo Zombie!
Tokyo Zombie kinda looks like Shaun of the Dead, in Japan, featuring Asano with an afro.
Again, the movie stars an afro'd Asano Tadanobu and a bald Sho Aikawa. If the pairing of them wasn't enough to make a movie a must-see, also factor in... ZOMBIES! Just trust me, this is the greatest motion picture ever made... by man. Questioning that? Then check out the website and watch the trailer:
Tokyo Zombie (Official Website) WATCH THE TRAILER NOW!
Oh MAN... I love Asano. |

In a SomethingAwful Games thread called, "What games are you never, ever going to purchase?" There was some hardcore WoW (World of Warcraft) bashing... It made me VERY happy. Here are a few samples (Goon names left out to protect the worthy of my attention):
It started with this simple reply - "WORLD OF WARCRAFT"
Someone else agrees, bitching a bit about Blizzard. Another goon questions, "I thought WoW was supposed to be actually GOOD? Are ANY MMORPG's good at all?" To which a very wise goon replies, "No." Wise words... er word. A second, even wiser goon replies with a little more info for our naive friend, "Not unless you like to lose the remainder of your life and then push all your friends away so that you can get a stupid purple item. Only play WoW if you have a girlfriend you are trying to break up with but it just is not working. Its a guaranteed win for you my friend." AMEN, Brother!
One goon tells a tale of warning, he almost fell victim to the "MMO-CLAP"! Listen to his near tragedy, "Any MMO's. Why? I played a demo of WOW on my mates laptop and I lost 4 hours in the blink of an eye, annoying my mate in the process. It was then I realised how easily I could be sucked into something like that. Also, a warning from my gf that If I buy an MMo she will dump me has something to do with it. Apparently she had to vie with WOW for attention from her ex. Guess who won." TRUE TALES OF MMO HORROR! I've been told similar stories before... ALL TRUE!
One goon really hits the nail on the head, "Sign me up for MMORPGS as well. They're marketed towards the exact type of person that I am not. Once they design them around people with lives, then I'll buy one." Simple, effective, to the point.
Its nice to know I'm not alone. |

A ferret, apparently. So, Heather and I got ourselves a little baby ferret (or a KIT, as you call baby ferrets). We wanted to get a pet really badly, but with allergies, living in the apartment, our schedules, and price... we couldn't really get a dog nor a cat. We went by a pet store just to torture ourselves by looking at puppies. We absolutely fell in LOVE with this Scottish Terrier. It was so sweet and adorable. Its funny how animals chill out around me and get all hyper around Heather (which we discovered was true of most animals last night). Anyway, besides the fact that we couldn't afford the $1300 puppy... we also knew that even if we could, we really couldn't get her. We were quite depressed over this, but were still on an animal high, so we started going around from pet store to pet store checking out all kinds of dogs, cats, and various animals.
At the last store, we checked out the ferrets. One of them was very different from the rest. Two were twins and very violent with each other, one was white and very friendly but very pushy and bold, and there was the mellow one. The mellow one mostly stayed to himself and didn't really seem to fit in with the rest. We wanted to hold one to check our allergies, but they said we couldn't. We kept on going back, though, and looking in at him. Finally one of the workers came over and had changed her mind. We held him and he was so sweet. She said that when new people hold them, they usually bite the people a bit, but he was perfectly fine with us. He kept on trying to crawl up Heather's sleeves and being generally cute. We put him back and started to realize that we had both fallen in love with him. After spending a few moments counting the cost and figuring out if it was possible... we decided that if we waited, he might not be there when we come back. So we GOT HIM!
Like I said, we named him Desmond, brother, just like our friend-in-the-Hatch from Lost. Despite the fact that Heather's not into Lost, yet, we both still like that name... so it worked out well. It SUCKS HARD being in work right now, Heather's back at the flat having fun with our baby and I'm stuck here! Anyway, I'll post pictures of him as soon as I get some. |

I dunno, not huge on posting song lyrics, but I really felt the need to post "Cells" by The Servant (of which the instrumental version was used for the Sin City trailer). Great song, amazingly epic sound, and one of my favorite guitar riffs ever... but really I'm posting it because the lyrics describe my life right now, pretty damn well. Don't worry, you don't "get it".
It'll all click when the mortgage clears
All our fears will disappear
Now you go to bed
I'm staying here
I've got another level that I want to clear
My skin feels like orange peel
My eyes have been vacuum-sealed
My organs move like a squirm of eels
We should be more adventurous with our meals
They annoy me those who employ me
They could destroy me
They should enjoy me
We eat chinese off our knees
And look for each other in the TV screen
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you
On the city's skin they move on mass
Like a rash on the back of a manky cat
Now in I go like a fool
I can't resist dipping in the pool
I watch them watch me I watch them too
Across the street across the room
I dress myself like a charcoal sketch
My eyes are brown and my hair's a mess
They annoy me those who employ me
They could destroy me
They should enjoy me
We eat chinese off our knees
And look for each other in the TV screen
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you
The sun goes up..
The cells I am at the moment will soon die
But I will be here
Oh I'll still be here
The cells I am at the moment will soon die
But I will be here
Oh I'll still be here
The sun goes up…
Everyday everyday everyday...
Despite all the problems, all the stress, all the occasional frustration and pain, and all the soul-crushing employment... I never thought I was going to be this happy in my entire life. I never thought that this could ever happen, but now that it has I couldn't imagine it any other way. I'm glad I'm wrong... occasionally. |

So, first work update: I guess Rick forgot about my name change... so he's been calling me Mr. Bond again... yay.
Also, I guess I'm part of the Company "Underground" or something. I guess it'd be: Me, Stacey, Andy, Lisa, MaryEllen, and maybe one of the Johns and one of the Donnas... Also, Larry is our double agent.
The CEO/President brought his 6 year old daughter into the office today. Poor girl, she got his looks AND his charm. This comment was made by the various members of the "Underground" in various ways. No one was introduced to the little kid, but by looking at her we were all able to put two and two together. Andy says, "So... that's..." I cut him off with a "Yeaaaaaaah..." There was silence, I said, "You're quite sharp!" He said, "Well, it was easy once I saw the Ethiopians following her around while fanning her off." The best reaction was Stacey, who walked around the corner, face beat red from trying not to laugh. She looks at me and we both start laughing... And I said, "Yeaaaaaaaaah".
Incidentally, I haven't had an honest night of sleep in over 48 hours... yet I couldn't be happier. |

OH NO!!! I'm like FREAKIN' OUT, man!
Rick just changed my nickname! After about 20 different nicknames here at my company (most really funny, but not too flattering - ie. Captain (Tarmac) or TCMS: The Chief Monkey Spanker)... I finally got one I loved and it really seemed to stick.
At a trade show with an open bar (Japan Tourism Board), I started hitting the Martinis with a vengeance. Now, in my defense, it was my birthday and my sister and I were going out that night anyway, so getting smashed was on the agenda as it was. Rick noticed and commented the following, "Remember the rule, Sean, Martinis are like breasts..." Implying that any more than TWO is too many (Which is REALLY funny, since he is SO gay). I missed the next day of work for reasons OTHER than being hung over, but when your co-workers see you drinking like a fish the night before they will always assume. So, Rick started calling me Bond. It REALLY stuck and he used to mix it up a lot too. He would come over and ask, "Bond?" I would reply, "JAMES Bond". He would usually call me Mr. Bond. It was great.
Today, he walks over and says, "HEY SEAN 'PUFFY' COMBS!" Now he's calling me, "P Diddy" "Puff Daddy" "Puffy" "Mr. Combs"....
...
Mr. Bond will not stand for this shit! |
