the kiss off quiz

You should definitely quit your job. You’re using your job as an excuse not to do what you are really meant to. Obviously, who you are and what you do are solidly connected in your mind. Chances are your very spirit is entrepreneurial, or you have a deep-seated disrespect for all authority, or you have to do something that is eating at you for your neglect it. Quit already. Go, start your own company, write the novel, paint the picture. People like you, at your stage of life really shouldn’t be working for anyone else.

from The Kiss Off Quiz.

though, given the site‘s focus, perhaps it’s not surprising that the quiz’s response is to tell me to tell The Man to kiss off.

the west wing

Russian #1: And the venue can be moved to Hall of Mirrors.
Sam: Flags.
Russian #1: Yes. But we need something from you. On his arrival, and during outdoor photograph opportunity, President Bartlett must wear overcoat.
Sam: A coat?
Russian #1: He must wear coat. He must wear gloves. Scarves and earmuffs permissible, but optional.
Sam: Hang on. ‘Cos — yes, ‘cos President Chegorin wants to wear a coat, but doesn’t want to look like a wimp.
Russian #1: Sam. It is freezing too cold in Reykjavik. It is freezing too cold in Helsinki. It is freezing too cold in Staad. Why must every American president bound out of an automobile like as at a yacht club, while in c–, com–, excuse me. [Turns to second Russian delegate.] Co..?
Russian #2: Comparison.
Russian #1: …while in comparison, our president looks like — I don’t even know what word is.
Sam: Frumpy?
Russian #1: I don’t know what “frumpy” is, but onomatopoetically, sounds right.

i had to pause the tivo long enough to stop laughing. i miss the good old days of the west wing.

bored

650 artists, 6399 songs, 20 days and 28.9GB worth of music in my iTunes collection on the laptop. and i’m bored with it all.

GODDAMMIT.

…

granted, i haven’t ripped all of my CDs. most of them. and i could start ripping records — or, god forbid, cassette tapes (i think i still have the soundtrack to Who’s That Girl in my tapes, somewhere…) — but, whine, i don’t wanna. i just want more music. new stuff, or stuff that’s new to me, good stuff, that doesn’t suck. that magically won’t fill up the laptop’s small and nearly full disk. and free would be nice. right now, too.

whine, whine, whine, bitch, bitch, bitch, moan, moan, moan.

bored!

maybe it’s time to load up the CD changer and go on a massive “random” listening spree.

a great day

i had such a good day today.

first of all, i went to bed kinda early yesterday, like nine pm, and as a consequence i actually woke up before my alarm and kicked around before work, then got to work slightly earlier than normal. then there was the pretty, and then work was actually okay. i felt like i got some stuff done. then i had lunch with pirate dan, which is always a good time. and then i got to help davey work on something he’d been having problems with. and although i don’t think i ended up helping very much at all — we didn’t get the actual problem fixed, although we did manage to get it to a point where there’s slightly more detail about what it’s complaining about (even if neither of us knows where to go from there) — but it was fun to work on that problem. then we went out after work to get dinner at medici, had a fun conversation, and hung out for a while. i haven’t really talked much to davey before, so it was fun to get a chance to talk to him. he’s a pretty neat person, as it turns out. yay, new friends! plus? YES, there’s MORE! i got to wear stripey socks today. i love my stripey socks. and there was this other thing maybe i’ll tell you about later. GLEE!

you know, it was a pretty good day today.
