Screw this
I worked from 9am to almost 6pm. Halfway through the day I cut my thumb on glass. It was a pretty deep cut. Blood oozing, stinging pain and intense throbbingness for the following hour or so. Kinda hard to wrap gifts after that, or carry the large bulk of candy that arrived. Going in tomorrow to probably perform the same hours. Though I plan on taking an hour off for lunch. Didn't do that today. Sucky day.

PS: Mom came in while I was working and gave me a nice necklace. Good thing. When I came home, there was a cute light thingy in the window. Good and bad thing, since she'd cut the power to my vcr which was set to record something. There were no pots or pans that I could use to make dinner tonight. Bad thing. AAaabllaaaaah, sleep. Goooood.

Edit: Eh, changed the band-aid just now. Had some water running to wetten the part of it that was still stuck onto the cut and mom was hit by nausea pretty fast. I felt cool that I didn't feel sick and could be all "ooo, lookit this" for about 5 seconds.

"Aw, this making you woozy? Peeling the ittle bitty band-aid, lalaalala. I'm not woozy, I'm not woooohooozz--- ..... uhm, where's the floor? I need to sit down *_*".

I'm gonna feel sorry for myself whilst I sleep now. *curls up in bed*

I am socially handicapped, which clashes with the desire of having a social life

And I couldn't think of anything else to say, not ever after 5 minutes of thought. It could be because I'm really tired and should be in bed. Social ineptitude or not, next week will be a busy one at work. Going in every day and we'll see if I end up doing more than my scheduled hours. Partly because it's fun to help out and partly because I feel like I should pull a little extra weight for being gone two weeks straight. Dunno if they'll be needing me in the "between days" and after that I'm even less sure about what'll happen (workwise). As long as the sun keeps showing its face, and I can take some of those naps, it really doesn't matter. It'll work out in some shape or form. Just gotta keep trugging along. Slick: I'm sure you'll be spreading loads of Christmas cheer to the customers. Let's boost those sales together. John: Give it some time. Or some more Literati matches. P-chansacutie: Well, if you've been working lots lately then you might not have as much energy to be social? Hope work isn't too stressful for ya. Baron: *blinks* You're cute. Liam: There are too many hours this week. Am only supposed to do 20 hours but I'll end up doing about double that.

My sister went up to Stockholm today, with mom and dad, to pick up the stuff she left behind in her apartment. They've been gone all day so I got a lot of napping done, as well as taking a quick stroll, making a yummy dinner, washing up and deciding to post my "finished" bannery-images at OB (in the Art Forum). Mmmm. Maybe I'll go to sleep early tonight. EDIT: Didn't >> The folks and my sister all came back in one piece, albeit rather tired from the long trip. Hehe, nice reference to ... that band. Muse! I knew that. Hrm.

Onions have layers, ogres have layers and Photoshop too. I'm growing fond of the layers, basically. It doesn't make me screw up less or produce better stuff but working with ideas have become much more enjoyable. Which reminds me. I should sleep now or I'll be too tired to get up tomorrow. *shuffle shuffle* Evil: If you find it, be sure to look forward to when the film nears Christmas. There's a really good scene where she opens her pressies. Ms. Bakura Ishtar: No problem. Slick: It might not be very widespread, seeing as we only got two copies ... and they were quickly dispersed to a kind of secluded wall space, instead of on the "News!" shelf. And after looking at a couple Swedish DVD shops online, it's not sold here either. Preposterous. Shabam: You teased a smile out of me, that's for sure *hugs* I need to be more observant! Which means spending lots of time gazing at your page, yes *rubs hands* Pyro: Naked. Harvey. Keitel. But I do like Holly Hunter - have you seen "A life less ordinary"? - and the soundtrack is to swoon for.

It spoke to me, anyway

"Girl goes mute after a horrible event during her summer holidays. Steve Zahn is an Art teacher who tries to help by reaching out and giving her the language of art to communicate with. Will she find a way to tell someone what happened?" – Fairly precise translation of the DVD cover. The movie "Speak" is in no way groundbreaking, unique or controversial. Its focus is on Melinda who, after the summer holidays, returns to school a different person. Something happened during the summer, besides losing her circle of friends, that had a deep impact on her. Deep enough to slowly disintegrate the young girl into the silence enveloping her. Perhaps it was the cover that threw my expectations of what would unfold, since it had been written in the style of a gossip magazine reporting a new Hollywood romance. Though just like those magazines sometimes have a miniscule amount of truth in it, so did the cover's review. Only tweaked to be more appealing. As if they didn't have faith enough in the movie to accurately describe it and felt a need to add spice, which made it look like the film maker had produced a clumsy/awkward story. Melinda is more of a quasi mute, choosing [carefully] when to speak. The silence around her mirrors her own, in that it takes a vocal form (that might only make sense if you see the movie, heh) from time to time. And while Steve Zahn does help her, it's in a very unobtrusive and not deliberate way. At least in terms of its connection to the secret. What the secret is can be guessed pretty easily/early and my initial reaction was that of disappointment, considering how the cover made it seem really gritty. Because it felt clichéd, like they couldn’t think of aything better. But shortly after it seemed as if the whole thing would land flat on its face, I realized there wasn't aything wrong with the movie. It was my mind set that was off. From there on in, all the irritations created from aticipating a radically different story was slowly stripped away. Things came together and what at first seemed like a poorly made movie, turned out to be a litte bit different, somewhat more engaging and definitely worthwhile. -- If you decide to see it, I will share that a scene that stood out for me was the hospital scene. By that time I had understood the movie and saw it for what it was. Very rewarding. And maybe, just maybe, it was helped by being given a slightly misguiding review. *returns to Photoshop with a clear conscience* >>

Über den wolken

John: O.o Shinmaru: Would it have been naked sex if he'd had his mask on? Pyro: *breaks into a smile* Much more so. Evil: And we shall focus on the best, mhm. Sennen: Probably something in line with Jack Nicholson's character in "One flew out of the cuckoo's nest", towards the end. Before the lights go out. Slick: *ruffles his hair* Sarah: *proceeds to be jealous* There's too much to envy you of, knock it off :( /jk Alex: *gives him a high five for tacky rimshot* P-chansacutie: Hehe, yeah Cillian looks good. Since everyone's reminded of Batman, I shall have to go for Christian Bale next time. It'd be in keeping *nods* Liam: I'd need a voice recording of you doing an Irish accent to be able to judge that statement more closely. Sara: ......... *tilts head and wonders what to make of that comment* Is there something you want to share with me, Sara? Sennen: Better blindfold yourself and run like mad, Senny. It can only get worse from here on in. My cold is receeding rapidly, creativity is increasing immensly and tomorrow is my day off from work. As such, I will make a dedicated attempt to stay away from Photoshop and instead turn my attention to writing what I need to write. Or most of it. That is, if I manage to resist the pull of Photoshop in the first place. EDIT: Whoops, totally forgot about my doctor's appointment. That means there'll be less time to write. Ah well. There's always the weekend.

Bzzzt

Well, I managed to make a semi-intellectual post at OB (meaning it didn't consist of noob speach ... which I suck at ;_;) and that bodes well for two things that I plan on writing about ..... some day >> One is about the subject monotonous tasks, which seemed to spark a little bit of debate (on my page! gasp!), and the other is about a movie I rented this week. Let's see if my brain stays alive until I get around to it :p Liam: One of these days you have to stop being so cute! *tries to hold back a smile and fails miserably* =) Slick: I bet you'd love to get some snuggling actions with all your girls ;p Join us! "Peacemaker Kurogane" - no (on seeing it) and yes (on wanting to) :o Sarah: *makes kissy faces* John: XD!!!! That scene had my younger sister doubled over with laughter ^_^;; Evil: *tight snuggles* I hope things go better on your end, for that would make not only you but everyone else very happy :3 hidden golden eye: As a matter of fact, I do :o Nice to see you =) Shabam: Rawr *purrs* We all need our own personal Batman, oh yes. Hehehe.

Parched

Liam: If I didn't love you so much already, and if you hadn't posted that tasty SYF chapter today, I would totally hate you right now :] Shabam: *smiles* I do crave the snuggles, myself. Especially those quiet ones, where the world feels ok and you're at peace with yourself. *snuggles* Job perks - 'scuse the blurryness
