bored

Work tonight is 10000x boring! Nobody's really calling right now. Eh.

So hey, who's hyped for All-Star Survivor?? :D Yeah, I know, just me. ::asdlfdksafhlsadfhlka:: But the cast seems pretty good. I question the presence of a few people (Amber, both the Jennas, Rob M.), but they also got some people whom I liked and who seem deserving of a second shot. I'll be rooting for Rupert, Kathy, and Shii Ann, I think. I fear for Ethan, though--he's too nice for the bloodbath that this will likely turn out to be! ::rotfl::

I have a meeting with the startup people tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, I'll get some login info so I can start making changes and cleaning up the site. The graphics are actually better than I expected them to be, but the HTML code is crazy-messy. It looks like they used Frontpage, and we all know how opposed I am to Frontpage. ("Standards compliance? What standards compliance?") ;p

I was also supposed to be available for Japan Night Stage rehearsal, but I haven't heard any word from them about that yet. I *really* hope this doesn't get put off until the very last minute. :p Things got put off for too long on last year's show, and although it all turned out okay in the end, there were a couple pretty obvious snags that we could have avoided.

Are Slashville and Angel new tomorrow? I was planning on bailing out of wushu early, so I can actually eat dinner and not be late to work, but I'll probably leave even earlier if there's new Angel or Slashville.

I have finally decided about what I want to do for the sample Blizzard layout: a Protoss strategy page! It seems oddly appropriate, because A) I *love* Starcraft, and B) I 0wnz j00 with Protoss! Or at least, I did when I was playing semi-regularly.

To do tomorrow: more jobstuff, make copies, Blizzard layout. It'll be a busy day even without the to dos, so I won't pile on any more.

I think I'll go read something, and hope that the time will go faster.

BLAR.

I am really tired today, and stressed out. I think a Dutch Bros. stop before work is in order. Well, maybe not--coffee would definitely help with the former of the two problems, but it could be bad for the latter.

The meeting went fine. It ended up taking place an hour later than originally planned, but that was okay. I now have logins, so I can start fixing things! They're also talking about setting up some kind of cubicle or office-type space for the project. So, if I start feeling cabin fever-ish, I'll have someplace to go and work. I will also be designing an advertisement for one of the companies that wants to advertise with the magazine, so that could lead to money and prestige! Or at least, a portfolio piece that I don't hate. :)

I made my photocopies, so now I just have to start posting flyers up around town. Hopefully, somebody with money will request some work. Or at least, somebody that can offer me a portfolio-worthy project. Or, maybe even somebody who can trade me one service for another--like a local musician that will teach me guitar in exchange, or something. There's more than one path to getting what I want, right?

I think I am going to work out at home instead of wushu today, because A) I'm sleepy, B) I think I slept on my back wrong because it hurts like hell, and C) I'd have to leave early anyway. Weak excuses, I know, but today is already stressing me out and giving me a headache. I'd also like to be on time for work (I was a good 15 minutes late last Wed.), and I'd like to actually eat my dinner, rather than inhale it, like I did last week.

( That 50 States meme )

There are probably a few more, but I'm not 100% sure of them. I'll have to pull out my road atlas sometime and retrace the routes of all those cross-country drives.

And, I'm spent.
