The Viruses
Why? Why do stupid pimply teenagers wearing Lord of the Rings t-shirts spend their time sitting in front of their computers making up computer viruses to make life difficult for the rest of us?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't generalize. They could be wearing Matrix t-shirts.
I've spent the better part of the week running ad-aware and spybot over and over again because some jackbag decided it would be really funny to put a trojan into a popup. So I'm looking at work4students.com or something and all of a sudden there are links on my desktop to porn and gambling sites.
If I'm going to look for porn or start gambling, I can do that on my own, thank you.
So everyone run your antivirus programs...run the spyware programs...and maybe download a free firewall like I did.
And then let's all get together at this kid's house (you know he's home on a Saturday night...my excuse is that I just got off work...) and kick some ass.

The Taxes
It's unfair. But it looks like I'm paying again this year. Even with tuition and stuff.
Jerks.

The Visions
For the last two days I've been obsessed with Insaniquarium at popcap.com, a game where you feed guppies, kill aliens and purchase pieces of eggs to hatch new fishy friends.
Yes. It is just as stupid as it sounds. But now I can't get those stupid fish out of my head. They won't leave me alone...I can even see them swimming in front of me when my eyes are open.
Play at your own risk.

The Name
I was bartending at a ritzy house downtown tonight. I expected a certain amount of pretention...people named Felicity and Claire and Hoyt.
I did not expect a woman name "Blish".
Blish. Oh come on. That's not a name. That's not even a word. It was only made worse because she was some tiny little woman who you know used to be the top of the pyramid in high school.
So now, I plan to use the word Blish in all sorts of contexts. I'm gonna blish it up real good.
It's so totally blish.

The Class
There is absolutely nothing you can say to me that will make Accounting fun or interesting.
Nono. Don't even try.

The Scale
OK, I didn't gain everything back in the month of cheating. But I did gain some. I'm just glad the scale wasn't as harsh as it could have been.
Since February is THE MONTH OF JUDGEMENT (apparently last year January received this title, but I was much too lax on lame people last month...and too busy to care.) I feel it's time to turn the mirror back on myself and get back on the Atkins.
Mmmm. Meat. Say it with me.
I can't say I'm excited. But it worked last time. It can work again. This time with no holidays or tech weeks or fancy openings to get in my way.
Bring it on, carbs. I can take it.

The Openings
Two in one weekend is far too many. Brown Couch's show opened last night (to a sold out house, thank you very much...) and the show that I designed props for opens tonight.
I've never done two shows this close together...and I don't think I will again. It certainly hasn't helped me find a new job for the second semester...and have I started my accounting homework yet?
I'm printing program inserts right now. It's a big pain to be done, but not totally be done. But at least I finally got some sleep and caught up on some TiVo.

The Show
It opens tomorrow. I can't say I'm not so totally nervous about it. Let's count the reasons.
1. The police have been shutting down theatres all over town. Why should we be any different?
2. Reviewers are coming.
3. I've gained at least five (if not more...I've stopped looking in the mirror, but at least my pants still fit) pounds because I'm on "tech diet" which consists mainly of McDonald's, KFC and bar food, including, but not limited to, mass quantities of pizza, chicken tenders, hamburgers and french fries.
The above isn't something to really be nervous about, because there's not a lot I can do about it now, but it's just annoying.
4. I've been running late all week. And now is no exception, because I have to be at the theatre in approximately 40 minutes, and make two stops along the way, one of them at the busiest Target in the country. And I'm sitting here blogging.
Bad.
