The Bee’s Knees
Posted: June 21, 2010That’s right. Telecommuting is the bee’s knees. Seriously the greatest thing ever. I don’t have to sit in an uncomfortable office trying to look busy if I have no work to do. I got to sleep in till 11.30 then woke up and put my computer together, a task that took far longer than the “one or two minutes” Brandon suggested. But it turned on and the Internet works and all is glorious. I also moved most of my laundry pile from next to my bed to my closet. It looks cleaner. *cough*
Toy Story 3 was the best movie ever. I had unreasonably high expectations for the flick (ten years in the making!) but the film managed to meet and exceed those expectations. I’ve said it before and I’ll no doubt be saying it again for years to come: Pixar is amazing. Every one of their movies is a classic. Great storytelling. Beautiful. Memorable. Touching.
The year is only half over, but I am comfortable saying that TS3 is a front-runner for Best Picture. They deserve it.
After the movie, we went over to Jake and Trevor’s place and Jake played every song in his repertoire (he got desperate enough for Blink 182) for us until we were all half-asleep.
Saturday was spent sleeping and lazing until we decided to go “downtown” around 9. I was yet again reminded of my fear of dark/scary places and had a lovely panic attack. Crying girls totally freak out boys. It was a bad night. Especially since we were going to watch Lion King on VHS, but the tape turned out to be All Dogs Go to Heaven instead. Bleh. What a waste of plastics. I used to know what kind of plastic it was. Alas…
Yesterday, we lazed more then went to the craft store. I bought an epic foam sword and felt gladiator hat. Totally awesome (best $9 spent ever?). I also bought the stuff needed to make my own painted shirt. It’ll probs end up being the zup-pi logo. glorious. We then went shopping and watched Amanda and Iseley wander aimlessly while getting everything on their lists. Then we went home where I’m fairly certain I slept some more. Iseley ruined our Cone of Silence (Operation: Freeze Out) by running on the freeway and eventually getting to the boys’ house.
Operation: Freeze Out is our plan to bore Trevor and Jake into being forced to hang out with us even though they dislike us (or so we suspect).
I then decided to be the second to break the Cone of Silence by apologizing for being an annoying brat and encouraging them to tell me what they dislike about me so I can improve my behavior. I was told that there was nothing wrong, so either we were worried for nothing or I need to find some more assertive friends.
Today, as mentioned before, was telecommuting day. I set up my computer (no problems) and have done all non-work work possible. I’m now forced to do my actual work. Damn.
