Mguuuh.

I'm going to bed soon. I'm not even going to finish my scenes that I'm currently in, I don't think. I'm tired - I'm beyond tired, I'm exhausted. Know the difference?

Tired means I stay up as late as I need to in order to finish scenes.
Exhausted means I stare for ten minutes at the last two player posts in the VicMage play-by-email I'm running (contact me if you want in, or if you just want to watch out of morbid curiosity) and only realise at the end of that time that I have no fecking idea what to post in reply.

The condition will go away once I've slept, but right now I don't dare post. Mucking up the plot because I"m tired would be bad, and mucking up the carefully created atmosphere of an audience with the ruler of an alternate world's Chinese empire because I can't type three words without thinking 'wow, I'm tired' would be even worse. YOu're not really a hardcore gamer until you've punched through 'do without sleep for game's sake' and gone into 'if I don't sleep it will ruin the game - never mind me, the game, man, think of the game!'.

As I said in the subject line... mguuuuh.

Thank God for Google searches turning up the 'I have an assertion! What do I do now?' page or I wouldn't have been able to kick the database's stupid lazy ass into activity at ALL, but still. yeesh.

Bring me two live chickens, a bolt of pink ribbon, an extra sharp knife, a bottle of 151 rum, and some watermelons. The chickens, ribbon, and rum are for the more vicious loa to frighten the server into running properly; the watermelon is for Yemaya, who's just a cool lady to be on the good side of.

No I don't actually practice anything to do with Voudoun, but frankly the computers make me so cranky sometimes that I wish I did, 'cos Lord knows threatening them with St. Isidore (patron of the Internet), Shub-Internet, St. BIOS, or neodymium magnets doesn't seem to work the way it should.

Og here.

Og simple cave person. When Og first walk Earth, Og not hear word 'vote'. Head of tribe get be head of tribe by give people mammoth meat, hit people who not want them be head of tribe. Very simple. Og tribe have many people want be head, so Og tribe have many people hit each other. Og tribe get head eventually. Tribe did pretty good come Ice Age.

Og hear about others, too. Og learn about Lautenberg, Forrester, others. Og learn about public question. Og learn enough make good choice.

Og voted today. Did you?

*snerrrrrk*

Go to a movie theatre, please. Or to a pizza place run by Villa Pizza.

Look for the ad for the collectible-cup size of Pepsi, the one advertising The Santa Clause 2 with Tim Allen. The one that says "Celebrate The Holidays" across the top.

Now look at the picture of the cup within the ad. The cup is rotated so that you can see 'The Santa Clause 2' and the Disney name. Unfortunately, this piece of text was very poorly placed. In order to read it, they had to turn the cup so that the 'Celebrate the Holidays' slogan was only partly visible.

This would not have been a problem if the visible portion were 'Celebrate' or 'Holidays', but it is the MIDDLE of the slogan which is visible in these posters.

The part that says 'rate the Ho'.

My sister brought one of these home and was fuming about it. Apparently they're in 200 different pizzerias and God only knows how many movie theatres, and Disney didn't catch it, but a pizza shop customer did.

'scuse me. I gotta go giggle all the way to class.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Somehow I managed to pack enough REAL information into my exam - the one I thought I bombed - that the prof gave me enough partial credit that I got an 85%!!!!

Ten people in class. I was one of the top four on the exam.

Huzzah!
