you can't do that with a tiffany lamp!

as of last night, our teensy little 18-person call center in Pewaukee has raised over 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS for the Midwest Division of the American Cancer Society. and I am glowingly proud to say a) I love my team and my job, and b) roughly $10-20K of that, at least, is me.

because cancer is a bitch, you guys.

but together, we can kick its ass.



(ps this mood has NEVER BEEN SO TRUE)

(pps I need a pink ribbon icon or something. NOTE TO SELF: DO THAT)

I has a laptop. :B

ETA: never you fucking mind. it died again, so we know now that it's internal hardware.

any new laptop recommendations?

aaaaand we're right back at it.

meletor_et_al: somehow I think there's something exceptionally weird about "my brother wishes he could suck cock like my lesbian girlfriend"
__dtrain: ahahahahahahahhahahahhaaaa noessss
__dtrain: that's just. you know. like something out of queer as folk.
__dtrain: DUDE OMG IS THAT OUR LIFE?! WE ROCK!

...
you want context? fine. __dtrain dared me to dare her to shove an entire medium-to-large-sized garden tomato in her mouth.

it was pretty impressive, actually.

just a few minutes ago, I looked behind me to see one of the most adorable things ever -- our bichon-poo napping with the stuffed alligator __dtrain gave me a year ago (I'd left it on the couch this morning).



( puppygator! )

OMG. ♥

watched it again tonight, on the UltraScreen no less. loved it. phew!

I mean, there are still obviously some huge sticking-points I have, where my preferences diverge massively from, well, um, what was actually written into the film XD ... and I still cried like a freak. but at least this time through I could actually put together what I was seeing, and figure out how it made a plot and a movie, which is something I couldn't particularly do last night because everything was coming at me so fast.

but, no, yes. I am tired and headachey now, which just basically makes it even harder than usual for me to write a coherent, thoughtful response to a movie, so yeah. not even gonna try. suffice to say, I am feeling quite a bit better about the whole thing.

and, um, also playing with a low-rated cute and angsty little Groves/Norrington thingy

so I picked up a preliminary schedule booklet for Summerfest on the way out of the hotel, and ...

something tells me I'm going to be wasting a lot of time and money there this year. yay! but what I need, though, is a Summerfest Buddy (or a couple, yanno) because it's just kind of shit to go alone. yeah? so, let me know on that. I know I have all of, like ... I could count all my Milwaukee-area flisters on one hand. but still. THE WHINING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL YOU AGREE TO KEEP ME ENTERTAINED. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.

possible plan: the two Marcus Amphitheater shows I'm looking at hitting are The Fray with Ok Go and Mae on Saturday, June 30, and Panic! at the Disco with Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is ... , and The Hush Sound on Saturday, July 7. so those are nicely spaced out.

the rest of it is going to be spent wandering around the US Cellular stage (yay FM 102/1!) and the Miller Oasis. probably. though the Global Groove stage can be fun *g*

I'm also seeing a lot of tinfoil-wrapped cold sandwiches and water bottles smuggled in tote bags.

WHO'S WITH ME?


speaking of going places and doing things with people, PIRATES 3 TONIGHT! I'M KIND OF EXCITED AND KIND OF FRIGHTENED.

[or, god damn it what just happened to my header image?]


so, for those of you keeping score at home, that's:

Imageshack - 0
