Hectic 14Jan10

I feel like this week has been hectic. Some days you feel always busy and then you think back on what you did and you have no idea… I think that was a lot of this week. Tomorrow’s Friday, though!

After a bit of conversation with coworkers, I picked up lamely-named Scrabble rip-off, Words with Friends and have been playing it somewhat heavily the entire week. If you happen to pick it up, you can guess what my username is. ;) I’ve only finished a few games, including some that make Brook look like he’s a glutton for punishment.

I think I’ve got a bit of shin splint action going on, but I’m looking forward to ultimate this weekend anyways. We should have a pretty decent crew out this time, I’m hoping.

Here’s to the weekend!

Countdown 31Dec09

Heather and Steph have kidnapped my roommate for the New Year festivities in Dallas, so I’m:

…again. But! That’s not bad as I think a nice and easy countdown to the new year doesn’t sound very terrible at all. I’m itching to do something somewhat creative/productive though, so we’ll see if I can muster up anything (don’t hold your breath).

As a side note, in 2000, when asked where I’d be ten years from then, I said:

I’ll be 26… possibly married, making money… probably got a master’s in Computer Engineering… leading a happy life. =) Hopefully. =)

In 2004, I said in five years, I’d:

Stable job… somewhere… I wonder if I will have a girlfriend then… lol. Owner of an Infiniti G35 Coupe. =)

Apparently my future telling was not very keen back then… married? Hahaha… oh little Oliver, you slay me.

See ya in 2010!

Well, I succumbed then relatively quickly overcame my cold that left me feeling very… cold. Yesterday, I was talking to Ryan after returning from his visit home when I suddenly felt incredibly cold despite the house being at basically the same temperature it had been the entire day. After a while, I hid under a blanket and still felt cold until I piled another one on top of that. I ended up sleeping in late and skipped work, but now I am feeling much better and much warmer.

On a side note, there seems to be something wrong with Photo Booth. The file names it saves are a year in the future. I checked my system clock and it’s definitely correct… anyone else have this issue?

Oh noes, Amazon knows too much…

Too bad I already have three of those four (well, close)… but the forth is mighty tempting…

I’m feeling mopey all alone at my place… time to listen to some horrible music… =) (and Sam, I am okay… I am not about to kill myself)

Oscar 18Sep09

Someone at work is calling me Oscar, and I don’t think he’s intentionally getting it wrong. It’s happened three times so far and the first time or so it was inconvenient to correct him, so I’m just letting it go and will see how long it continues. About to keep a tally…

Funny thing is he’s not the first person to get my name wrong and call me Oscar in my life. I think they just remember my name starts with an “O” and somehow that’s the first name that comes up. Do I look like a grouch or something? =)

Stardust 26Aug09

Came home from work today to find Oriana watching Stardust at my place. Mom came and picked her up, but I went ahead and finished watching it. I’ve seen it before, but there’s something about it that makes me enjoy it quite a bit. I think it’s probably something to do with slightly overly chipper girls… they get to me, I suppose. =p Although the downside to that is that I know it’s fake… there’s no such thing as overly chipper girls. =( Haha… ;) How cool would it be to have a girl that could blow up witches by supernovaing though (without blowing themselves up, of course)?
