Today marks the one week countdown to the end of student teaching.
Tomorrow marks the two week count down to graduation day.
Big things!!
So...what's playing?: Paramore

Talk about a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time between updates. I forgot I even had this account. LOL!
Needless to say, a lot has changed since the last update. Robert finishes his masters degree in two weeks. I finish a BA in both Elementary and ESE education in two weeks. We'll graduate on the same day. :) I'm wrapping up student teaching on April 27th. Robert is working as a web developer for a local publisher and working on mobile app development. His first app, IdeaStorm, was just put in the app store today!
There's a lot more I could go into, but it's late and I have to proctor FCAT to 3rd grade ESE student in the morning. :D
See ya!

I have followed the masses to MySpace... look me up! myspace.com/iloro email address: ilole13@yahoo.com
8/11/06 11:08 pm
Robert got a new job!! He's a graphic artist for a local advertising company...he finished up his first week today. He likes it much better than PCF 3\/1|_ 817)|-|35!!
I haven't typed 1337 anything in a while...sheesh.
Got a new laptop and monitor for the desktop. Laptop is a Dell Latitude D620...2gig ram, 80 gig hardrive, intel core duo 2000 (2.0 gig processor, dual core!) 14.1" screen, dvd-rw, built in wireless-g and bluetooth...the list of perks goes on. That and it's SOOOOO much lighter than the old one. The new monitor went to assist in a dual screen setup. It's sweet, though a little lopsided. The old monitor is 17", the new one acting as the main monitor is 21" widescreen (they're the same height, one's just much longer).
Work is busier than ever...the ops manager was fired, so between me and Rob handling the department until the new guy settles in a bit more, it's really been a pain. I've never done two jobs for one salary, that's for sure. 20k REALLY isn't worth all the shit I do, why am I still there? Because I like the people I work with. I know it will be beneficial in the long run. We're getting close to opening a new office. I am really looking forward to the new office. It'll give me more of a chance to prove I deserve a raise.
Went to the Family Values Tour last week. Korn, surprisingly, still kicks major ass without Head. And Jonahan was fucking hot as hell, even though he was wearing a kilt. Also have a new band obsession...Flyleaf. I heard there was a chick band and wasn't really looking forward to hearing them, thinking they would sound like Evanescence. Well, they didn't. It was more along the lines of Kitty. And the only chick was the singer, which can do shit with her voice I could never do.
Also, we have a new kitty named Maya (like in Azumanga Diaoh). Her fur is a bit longer than Zoya...calico with white legs, tummy and chest and stinky breath. She and her brothers and sister were born outside one of a family friend's house, but then the mom was hit by a car and died. We brought Maya home when she was only a month old. Her brother (an orange tabby) was taken in by my mom. My brother named him Tigger because he jumps like crazy...and climbs your pants when your in the kitchen. Both have brown eyes, not yellow.
That's all I can think of...
So...what's playing?: Flyleaf - Cassie

This time I may actually write a little more. ^_^
The office audit...I've heard about the results of that damned audit from at least 4 people above me. The problem with being admin coordinator/office manager is you manage everything, so if something is fucked up, it's not the director's fault, it's yours.
But I suppose it's good in a way, because the next audit will kick ass...hopefully. Alot of the stuff that was small and fixable. A good portion of it is already done, the rest should be done by the end of July.
On a good note, I am the designated office bitch, certified by the regional director and vice president of the company. I really need to get that in writing!
Also, my aunt and uncle are going to be in town tomorrow. I haven't seen them since the wedding last year. My grandfather wanted to come along, but my aunt didn't feel like he was in a good enough shape physically to make the trip. I'll have to take a few days to go visit him there at some point.
On Sunday, my mom and I are going to New Orleans. She didn't realize it's only 3 1/2 hours away, so we decided to go over there for the day. Kevin and his girlfriend are following us to Alabama to get fireworks, but they way head back from there. I'm going to ask tonight if they want to tag along to New Orleans.
Carlo is back in Germany, but only for a little bit longer. He'll be permanently stationed in Arizona for the rest of his contract, then he's free. Only one year and one month to go. Once he's out, he'll be visiting again for about a month or so. It'll be cool that he'll be able to hang out longer. I'll need his help to take Robert out to a strip club. We meant to do it while he was here last time, but we both forgot. Carlo wanted to get Robert a lap dance.
Well, I suppose since I'm at work I'd better work...but I just want to go home instead.
6/22/06 12:34 am
When it's audit time in the office, Brandi becomes a cranky bitch!! It's not that I mean to be, but everything that is slightly off the mark falls on me, whether it's my fault or not. It's tiring.
I'm actually too tired to post right now. Carlo has been in town, so eveyone from the group has been congregating lately. I'll try to remember to post more details later.
So...what's playing?: None

Not so much a busy day as it will be a busy weekend. I have errands to run like crazy today. Shopping and returning things, groceries for tomorrow, etc. I also have to straighten up the house. Luckily for me, since we bought it, it has been kept relatively clean. It won't take long to straighten up....thank god!!!
Tomorrow is the family cookout at my house. Robert's family and mine will all be over here eating burgers, hot dogs, steaks, and lots of snacky food. FUN!!!!
Ok, I have a game plan for what order to do things in today, so I'm on the way out...
Later!

I'm going to attempt to get back into the habit of updating this thing again...every time, tho, it lasts for a little while, but eventually fades away each time.
So, what's been up with me lately? Honestly, not much. My head has been hurting the past few days thinking over what to do for Robert for our anniversary.
I've been planning a cookout at our house this weekend for mine and Robert's family...basically it's for mother's day.
The studio has been cleared out a great deal. We finally had a chance to unpack some things. Once the studio is done, we move onto getting the darkroom organized and running. Then finally will be the barney room. By the time I'm done, it shall no longer be known as the barney room. I WILL repaint over that god-awful color to make it more bearable.
Work is fun...a lot of work, as usual, but still fun. I went to the Crawfish Festival Friday night with most everyone from the office. We sat around, ate good food, drank beer, laughed at how funny others can be when their drunk. I was commended by the guys for being the only girl to drink any beer and actually enjoy it. I also found that Rob, my boss-not husband, loves everybody when he's had too much to drink. And he likes to hug people after so many drinks as well. He drunk dialed Rob-my husband, which was really funny. Overall, I had a really good night.
Saturday, I was unpacking with Ross. After he left, I ended up goofing around the house and decided it would be a neat trick to leap onto the arm of the couch...it wasn't. I usually do it when I'm going to sit down, but this time I was off just a little and busted my knee cap...it's purple and blue...and hurts like hell right now. Won't be doing that again for a while. Once I parked myself on the couch, I just watched through a few episodes of Azumanga Diaoh.
Sunday, went to FWB to visit family. Had fun...not too much to elaborate on there.
There you have it...all I can think of right now to say about what's been going on lately...I know...not too exciting. But that's ok. :)
So...what's playing?: Azumanga Diaoh

For a few (but not too many) more details about our Las Vegas trip.
To start, we stayed in the Stratosphere at the end of the strip. The Stratosphere is the big Space Needle-looking hotel (for those who didn't already know). We got there at almost 11pm, so we were pretty tired. But walking into the hotel is amazing. Casinos in Las Vegas are nothing like anywhere else. There's no age limit to be in the casino. There are kids every so often with their parents, teenagers too. Anyways, when you walk into the Stratospehere to check in, you walk straight into the casino. It's fucking HUGE!!
Once we checked in, they screwed up our room, so we were stuck in a room with double queens instead of the one king. They made that up by upgrading our room for the rest of our trip, though. Spa tubs are wonderful. What's really fun is putting bubble bath in the tub while the jets are running. Bubbles EVERYWHERE!! *cough cough*
Back to trip...We went to three major shows all together. The first was Circe de Soliel's Mystere at Treasure Island. I can't really put into words just how incredible this show really was. I've seen several Circe de Soliel shows on A&E and other channels on TV, but it doesn't come close to seeing everything in real life. There's really no way to actually see everything that is going on because they are everywhere! There will be performers on the stage, in the audience on platforms above the stage, and in the air all at once.
Since we loved the first show, we went to see another Circe de Soliel show, Zumanity, at New York New York. This show was for 18 audiences...for good reason. Sex is everywhere in that show. Robert had a fat lady serving strawberries sit on his lap before the show and made him give her a shoulder rub...hilarious. http://www.zumanity.com/en/humanzoo/humanzoo.asp Go to this page, select Fauna on the left side, then click on the second picture. They are the Botero Sisters...the one on the right is the one that sat on Rob.
The last major show we saw was the Blue Man Group...this show was the most audience interactive I've ever experienced. Not only is the music incredibly artist and amazing, the three manage to make everyone in the audience feel as if they are a part of the show...even in the balcony, where Rob and I were (still awesome seats). Several times, the three would break up and go through the audience, climb up the stairs to the balcony, throwing tons of streamers over the audience to have fall from the balcony onto the the people below. The ending was way too soon! Afterwards, in the lobby, we met each of the three from the group that had performed that night. Once I resize the pictures, I'll post them here.
We also went to eat at the Top of the World restaurant that is the highest restauraunt west of the Mississippi, overlooking the entire Strip. That has to be the best dining experience in my life! The food was incredibly delicious, the view was breathtaking. The entire restaurant rotates (360 degrees in about an hour), giving people a chance to see all of Las Vegas.
The best part of everything was our last night there when we just walked up and down the Strip, stopping in several of the hotel casinos. Surprisingly over the whole trip, even eating so much, we both managed to lose weight, but I suppose walking at least a mile each day helped. :)
I could go into so much else that happened while we were there, but it really is like the advertising says...What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!!!

First off, work gave us $100 each at the meeting in Baltimore. I came back with a LOT more stuff. It was interesting getting on and off planes...not to mention killing time in Atlanta.
Then there was Las Vegas...I am going to have to dedicate one post if not two to that trip alone. It has to be the best traveling experience of my life!! I already want to go back. One week is NOT enough time to do everything I wanted to do.
The sucky part was the day after we got back into Pensacola from as Vegas. Robert and I were both at work when his dad called each of us to tell us that Granny had died about 10 minutes before. Robert, his mom, and Ross Jr. left Thursday morning for the funeral (which was on Sat.). I couldn't get off work, so I took a red eye flight into Dallas after I got off work Friday afternoon.
Robert picked me up at the Dallas airport. That was...err...fun...we left through the south entrance instead of the north, and ended up way away from where we were staying. My plane landed at midnight...we got to Sarah's (Robert's cousin) apartment where we were staying at almost 3am. Then we had to wake up at 8:30am for the lunch and funeral. Time change was that night, so we lost an hour of sleep before driving back to Pensacola. I've never been so glad to see a couch to crash on as I was when we got to our house.
My mom had a really good time on her cruise and brought back a lot of cool stuff. I can't wait for our cruise next spring break. There's a law going into effect in Jan. that you have to have a passport to go on cruises, so Robert and I are going to have to start the paper work on that soon. As of right now, it looks like we'll be taking a week-long cruise out of New Orleans to Mexico.It will be me, Robert, my mom, all the boys, Alicia (Kevin's g/f), Gene, and Graden. Should make things fun!
Anyways, I'm gunna get back to doing my thing...I just hopped on my mom's computer for a few minutes to finally update while she was talking to Gene.
Happy Easter/Passover everybody!!!!!

I just flew for the first time in my life.
It was FUCKING AWESOME!!!
It was only from P'Cola to Atlanta, but still. What makes it better was that the airline screwed up when I got to my seat (they put someone else in my seat), so I got put in business class for the flight. I also got bumped up to business class for the flight from Atlanta to Baltimore. YAY!! It's cushy!
It's 4:45 in Atlanta right now...my flight doesn't leave until 6:55...two hours before...I'll be seated in about 6:30 since I'm in business class. That will be fucking awesome.
I have one problem...I will be leaving Baltimore with more stuff than I came with...My carry-on (the only bag I have with me) is stuffed already... I am going to have to do some creative packing to make things fit without breaking on the way back. >_< Doesn't helo that I have the laptop, psp, iPod, and paml with three outfits and countless charging cords.
I have to find a copier or something soon. I want to make sure I get my seat this time. It helps that since I'm in row 3, I'll be in the first boarding call. Yay!
Ok, I can't really think of anything else right now. How sad is that? I just flew for my first time, but don't have much to say. Oh well.
TTYL!!

I'm starting to actually get nervous about flying to Baltimore on Sunday. I didn't think I would, but I am.
The Aerosmith concert is Saturday. Everyone is meeting at our house before going to the civic center for the concert. One of the guys wanted to go out to Seville after the concert, but I don't think it'll happen. I have to be at the airport at 11:30 the next morning. >_<
I had an interesting mishap at work. Misinterpretation of what I said to one of the sales people caused some problems. I've got Rob telling me not to worry about it, but this woman keeps flipping out on me. Ever since, I've been paranoid, making me screw little things up here and there. At least I haven't been late or anything.
I may actually get my car fixed soon! I received the cashier's check for the amount, so I put it in the night deposit. Just waiting for it to show up now... Ok, going to go float around for a while...later!

Anyways, I have a minor surgery on March 10th. That month is becoming more and more packed.
The DAY I fly to Las Vegas, I have to go by work to put together customer invoices and have them ready to be mailed out. Fun!
I can't wait til we go on vacation! I really need one...even though we had one in New Orleans last May...oh well.

I have the Aerosmith concert on the 4th...I fly out to Baltimore for a meeting for work on the 5th and get back the 7th. I go to the Nine Inch Nails concert on the 20th and fly to Las Vegas on the 21st, to get back on the 28th.
There is one more concert that I might go to (Seether w/ Shinedown on the 9th at the Swamp), but if I do, I'll just be outside. I've spent too much on tickets for Aerosmith and NIN to pay for them also. That's what I love about the Swamp... You can watch from outside just as easily from inside.
I'm actaully looking foward to going to Baltimore. We'll only be doing actual work for part of Monday...the rest of the day and nights will be all the admin just goofing off and havin a good time. ^_^
I'm looking more foward to Las Vegas!!!! I can't wait. I've been lazy and still haven't booked the hotel. We're still looking at booking the Stratosphere.
I have to go buy luggage soon! I will be taking Rob's iPod w/ me to Baltimore so I can watch videos (mine is the photo gen...he got the video gen. Buttface)
Robert already gave me my Valentine's Day gift...a PDA. I've been wanting one for a while, but it finally became really practical with work, so he got it for me. ^__________^ I loves my prezzie! It has wi-fi internet and bluetooth!
Ok, I have to get back to doing actual work...Talk to you guys later!

We're not going to Miami for Spring Break. With passes to the conference and hotel, etc. etc., it was getting way too expensive. So we figured it would be cheaper to go to Las Vegas for 6 nights instead! I get to see Cirque De Soliel! Hell ya bitches! We're planning to stay at the Stratosphere Hotel. In the next few days, I'm going to get in touch with a few travel agents to see if their rates are any better than online. I found the deluxe room for an average $83 a night. On Stratosphere's website, I signed up as one of the preferred members and got rates for a little bit less.
I want to eat at the Top of the World restaraunt, then fall off the building! It'll be fucking awesome! **BTW, for those who don't know, Stratosphere added a ride to their hotel where you get into a little roller coaster type car on tracks that shoots you off the side of the builing at about 50 mph**
The thing that sucks about the trip is we won't be back until Tuesday...my mom leaves for her cruise with Gene on Monday. :( I won't see her from the time I leave until the 1st of April when their ship docks in Mobile.
We'll still be flying. My mom saved up all the Wendy's cups she could and gave them to me and Robert last month, so now I have 4 one-way vouchers for Air Tran, which equals 2 round trip tickets for me and Robert. :D I'm a little nervous about that since I've never flown anywhere in my life.
My only worry about this trip is how work would managed without me for 6 days...I'm going to be swamped when I get back. >_

It's really sad when people can't get over things, even after several months. And when one wishes them well during the holidays, they tell them to basically fuck off.
But anyways, I'm not in the best of moods today. Robert was sick most of last week and now I have it. I went to the doctor yesterday and today I can't even talk. Makes work a bit hard. >_< At least Rob is cool and isn't making make too many phone calls.
Gerald is also sick, but his is the flu. I swear, this whole office minus Richard is one big bug. :P
Christmas was freaking awesome!! I'll go into more detail later.
I have to get back to work. >:P Laterz!

I haven't updated in a while it seems. I haven't posted since the day before my birthday...imagine that...^__^
Thing is, I've been having a great time with life lately. What's funny, I order a drink at McGuires and Hemmingway's, never got carded. Dammit. When I actually want to be carded, they don't do it. >_< Oh well.
I got Casey kicked out of a liquor store the other day. My mom likes the whole idea of sending me down to Food World Liquors to get her malt margaritas instead of making the trip herself, which is kind of funny. But I had Casey with me at the time. They wouldn't sell me anything with him there. They told him to go wait outside. What good is him going outside? If I were buying stuff for him, I could just give it to him later. Duh! Oh well.
Birthday kicked ass. Rob at work got lunch for everyone. We sat in the conference room for almost an hour just talking bout stuff. I went to my mom's and had dinner there. She made me meatloaf (yummy!) and gave me a frog shaped caked. He's cute... he's becoming funky looking though. Both of his eyes are missing a piece and the entire bottom part of his face is gone. LOL
Thursday was the company dinner at Hemmingway's. It was a lot of fun. Robert got ragged on by the guys I work with for being romantic and bringing me flowers to work for my birthday. I also found out that I have a pretty high alcohol tolerance. I had 2 strawberry daiquiris, a glass of merlot, a glass of Crystal (yea, my boss got a bottle for the table, that is some really good freakin wine), and a cosmopolitan. Not even a little buzz. Even Robert said I didn't seem tipsy. Anyways, I found out that for some untold reason, Rob (the one I work with) has spent a night in jail, Linda's cussed out a cop and flipped him off (it turned out to be her brother, who is a Buffalo cop), and Charmayne should not drink after taking cough syrup. She was laughing hysterically at one point. The next morning, she said she never remembered doing that. I also got ragged on by Richard and Rob with a new office joke about handcuffs. I won't go into detail with that one, but they loved mentioning it around Robert all night. LOL
Here's a piccie!

And FYI, I have made a very bad habit of going to the mall after work since it's right across the street. Im starting to slip back into the spending a lot of money thing again. >_<
But anyways,I will quit chatting your ear (or rather eyes) off and allow to return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Today has been SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long, but very good so far. I had to wake up early because Robert had his graduation this morning. He's officially an alumni of UWF with a BA degree in Art. Im so proud of him.
We left the convention center, we all (me ,Robert, my mom, Rob's parents and his little brother) went to the house to drop some things off, the went to lunch at Fuji. We all sat in one of those nifty tables since we had a big enough party. Everyone had a lot of fun while we all ate. The food is good. My mom is really obsessed with the tuna tataki and chicken box now.
After lunch, everyone decided to go to the mall. That was interesting. I tried to part over by Parisan where I usually do after work, but there was not one spot open. I had to park in the very back in front of Dillard's. Walking around inside was even more interesting. We ended up losing each other a few times. My mom bought a set of jewelry for my birthday that I've been wanting to buy for a while now. I helped her pick out a top for Gene's company holiday party tomorrow afternoon at the convention center. The guys went to the game store (of course) and the girls just looked at shoes and jewelry. At one point, Ross Jr. kept making jokes that we should go into Walden Books and " make the whole place go BOOOOOOM!" (direct quote) He said it would get rid of any of B-Dalton's competitors (That's where Kathy works). My mom, Robert and I just laughed. Ross was actually coming up with plans. Quite funny really.
Robert's family left and me my mom and Robert chilled out the house for a while before my mom headed back into FWB. In a few minutes, me and Robert are going back to Dillard's to get him some new clothes (God help me. I hate taking him shopping), then going to see Aeon Flux at the Rave.
Hopefully, I'll still be alive tomorrow.

I am never taking anything related to anthropology again!!! I hate the class, despise the instructor, and detest the content overall. >:P I proved my facts and she gave me a 77! Grrr.
Anyways, enough venting, its only for general studies. I've been pretty damned busy lately. Finals are this week, which means I've had to study for 3 finals and write up 6 assignments. I don't like PR writing either. I know for certain I will not be an anthropologist or PR specialist after college.
I registered for classes for next semester. I have History of Motion Picture II, Comp II (taking it online because I sucked the first time I took the class), Film Making, and Personal Comp Apps (for work so I'll know how to apply Excel more efficiently). I was also going to take Astronomy (isn't everyone at this rate) but I dropped it after our company meeting Friday.
Rob (boss, not husband) basically told everyone I'm getting a promotion soon. :O He said that he's hoping that I will want to work full time as their new office manager after the first of the year. Holy shit!! That happened fast! I knew it was going to happen at some point, but not before my 90 period (which is until Jan 10). Its a good thing though. That means I'll have more hours, more pay, benefits, and that the office along with corporate believe I'm doing a kick ass job. I'm glad that they all trust me enough to give me that kind of responsibility...
Well, Im headed over top Best Buy to meet Robert, so I'll update more later.

Until Rob (my boss, not husband) gets out of his office, I don't have much to do in the way actual work. It's nice to have a slump day like today right before holidays. I don't have to work tomorrow or Friday. Yay!
An interesting development, a friend of our from PCF where Robert works is having a bit of trouble right now, so he's staying with us until he gets paid Friday. Once he gets paid, he'll be able to pay the deposit and move into his new place. Only three days... *shifty eyes*
20 days until my birthday! Yay! Also, only 17 days until I reach 60 days at Coverall. I can't believe I've been here close to 2 months now. O_o
I am going shopping next weekend to get an outfit for this Christmas dinner shindig. It gives me an excuse to go get a really nice outfit and new shoes! I have to get new pair of boots now. The ones I've been wearing lately finally fell apart. It only took them 5 years to disinigrate. HooRaw for Payless!

I've fallen into a really bad role lately. I've been playing the role of rich bitch. Or rather, chick with a shit load of money to spare and is way too nice to her waiters. >_<
I've gone out to eat with Robert about 8 times since last Friday, saw a movie, bought MORE clothes, and a bunch of small stuff. Not to mention I've gone to Fuji Sushi Bar 3 of those times and spent 30-60 bucks each time. But its SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I love the the chicken box and their tuna tataki. I crave the tuna tataki.
Anyways, all splurging will cease as of Friday when Robert gets his next paycheck. We start Christmas shopping. We've been pretty good at it so far. I've gotten a few things for my mom and we've everything we're going to get for Kathy, Robert's mom. We're also getting Ross, Rob's dad, a grill on Tuesday, so then we'll be finished shopping for him. All we'll have left is Kevin, Tyler, Casey, my Grandma, Ross Jr., and a few more things for my mom. Robert's already got ideas for Tyler and Kevin.
I saw a beautiful jewelry set in the mall today. It's a pair of earings and matching necklace. Austrian crystals and very elaborate for $35! I'm gunna go pick it up next week to wear to the Christmas dinner on the 15th.
Only 23 days remain until I'm 21! I haven't been this excited about a birthday before. And it's not because I'm turning 21, but its because I'm at a really great point in my life right now that its hard to not look foward to anything.
*Sigh* Life can be pretty damned good at times! ^____^
So...what's playing?: H.I.M. - Rip off the Wings of a Butterfly (on TK)

27 Days until my 21st birthday remain.
What's awesome is Linda from work is gettin me drinks when we have our company holiday dinner on the 15th. We're all going to Jackson's and have $100 limit per employee! How much are they expecting us to drink?! But at the same time, if one of us brings a spouse, the $100 is split between the two. That's still a kick ass dinner right there!
Work is really relying on me for a lot of things now. I coordinate company events, handle all technical support, manage all purchase orders, and a shit load of other stuff. Its nice to be relied on for a lot of things, unlike not being trusted at other places.
Office jobs are great!
Other than work, school has slowed down a bit, which is really relaxing.
I did better on my last PR writing test than I thought! I got a 90! How's that for good? I also can turn in an assignment I missed and still get credit. That kicks ass.
However, the paper I'm working on for Intro to Anthropology isn't going as well. I had written the paper, then submitted it for commentation. She gave me commentation alright. Too much! I had used a source that the instructor had given us to write it, but then the instructor turns around and says, "this isn't true! Take it out!" Why the hell would she give us a source then say the source is wrong? It's a published book for god's sake. I'm pretty sure it's true.
But enough venting...I went to the mall AGAIN the other day. I ended up getting a jacket at Hot Topic that I've been wanting for about a month now. I have to wear it to work sometime soon. It kicks ass!
On the "make people feel better" front, I got 3 of the snow globe thingies off the tree for Santa For Seniors. I'm getting one senior a table lamp, one is getting a ceramic dog, and the other wants art supplies. They're not asking for much, so why not? I've got extra and they've got none.
That's all I've got for now!
So...what's playing?: Citizen Kane (In motion picture history class)

This is how bring class really is sometimes. I've been surfing the web and workin on other class work the entire time.
I got Soul Calibur III yesterday. That game kicks ass. I started working on mastering a few characters (Ivy, Kalik, and Sung Mina) and then Im going to create my own character.
Tomorrow I get to meet Regina. We've spoken on the phone way too many times, but have never met.
The only reason this movie is somewhat worth watching is because it's a Chaplin movie.
I still have to work on clearing out the darkroom tonight.
I really don't have much to say right now. Sorry, I just don't care enough to write. Lol
So...what's playing?: some Chaplin movie

O_o I was part of a conference call at work today with a few of the people in Baltimore (head office) and the ops manager and regional director for p'cola.
Turns out Im in a lot more than I had thought. By the time I go full time, I will basically be office manager/administrator. SHIT!! I'm gunna be moving up really fast soon. Hope I can actually handle it all...
Im gettin wasted when Im legal (supposedly with the assistance of Jaci and possibly Rodseth). That would be kewl. It'd give me a chance to hang out with them again. Its been a while.
I have to find some time to hang out with Tori, Shanna, Kendra, and Carolyn. What's funny is I had less time to do anything when I was in FWB. Its easier to hang out in FW now than before.
I had the second test in PR writing. I think I did pretty damned good. But then again, I thought I killed on the first test and got a 68. >_< Hopefully my instincts are right this time.
So...what's playing?: H.I.M. - Play Dead
