Well, since I have spent a good part of the night screwing around and playing games, hopefully tomorrow I will be more productive. Maybe it's because we didn't get any real assignments in class. I did do some of the reading so it's not like the night was completely wasted. Still, right now I have to convince myself to get off the computer and go do something else, even just sitting in bed with my DS.

Tomorrow the power will be out here for a while since the power company is laying down new lines for the nearby buildings that are scheduled to open soon. I set the alarm on my phone so hopefully I get up and get to class in time. What bugs me is that if the power is out the full time from 8 AM-3 PM, it's gonna be cold in here. I remember in February when we had that ice storm when I lived in Ohio. The power was out for about 24 hours and it got down to 46 degrees in my apartment. My neighbor was afraid of freezing to death. Myself, even though I had the day off, I went to work to warm up and recharge my cell phone and other electronic devices. I don't think this outage will be that major, but that memory remains in my mind.

I wonder how many people have something stupid and easy to guess like "cake." Though on the same token, if someone REALLY wanted to get into your account in particular, they'd find a way to do it.

I wonder though...were the people who had their accounts compromised recently hacked or phished? Because there's a difference.

I realize this is after the fact, but couldn't you just avoid this in the future by getting her spayed?

Your best option would probably be giving the kittens away. Attempting an abortion or doing something to the kittens carries a high possibility of an animal cruelty charge, which is a felony in a lot of areas--I know it is in my state. I suppose you could get the cat an abortion with the help of a vet, but cat abortions is not a subject I think about often so I couldn't tell you.

Stay the fuck away from her one week out of the month. That would be bad for site traffic though...

I guess I can sort of feel good about myself. I pretty much blew my Thanksgiving break playing Hands of War. I had already played the guy's other games and was looking for an RPG, and found Shadowreign. I poked around his site wondering if he'd done any more and he had. So I PMed him last night and asked if he was making or submitting any more RPGs. Today I checked my inbox and he had just submitted Shadowreign to the Portal, where it's doing well. He was really happy I like his work.

And when I'm procrastinating, like I will soon, I'll play Shadowreign. XD

Toys are nice and all, but I prefer being with my boyfriend. There's the obvious intimacy/love factor, and there are also things/sensations that a toy cannot duplicate.

Also, those jackrabbit vibrator things? Those scare the hell out of me. If I turned on a motor or something too high I'd probably injure myself.

When the holiday season REALLY sucks is when you work retail. I worked at Target for the evening/night shift of Black Friday in 2007. While I thankfully did not have to deal with the initial crowds, I had to pick up after them when the store closed and was there three extra hours. The nice thing is I got paid overtime for that. It was still quite crowded and we got slammed though.

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5968. I bought it in August after my HP crapped out.

Mine has Vista, but did have the option to upgrade to Windows 7...so if you can't get one preinstalled, send in the card for your free copy of Windows 7. The webcam on here is idiot proof, and I have yet to get anywhere near filling storage space.

I heard they got rid of Frog's awesome style of talking. Is this abomination true?

He doesn't have the accent anymore, but I think the rest of the game is closer to the original.

The translation is different.

Happy birthday hon! Sorry I forgot.

I have two turkey legs sitting in my fridge now. I'm the only person in the family who likes dark meat. Also have mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing. I'm pleased the stuffing survived as it was my favorite.

I'm not having turkey sandwiches per se as I don't have any bread at the moment. I'll probably just sprinkle the gravy on top, the same way I eat turkey on Thanksgiving.

The new trimester starts Monday. That's good. I seem to be losing my ability to occupy myself, and my sleep schedule is out of whack.

Wait...MERCOSUR is in charge of passports there? If they are that's something I never knew about MERCOSUR.

"A Message from Your Imaginary Friend: I'm Lonely"

Someone's having separation issues...

This afternoon when I went home, we did start on the stuffing. Got the veggies chopped, seasoned, and stir fried and the bread mixed in. Now it's sitting in a crockpot. Mom's doing the pies this evening. Our turkey was nowhere near thawed, but we were at least able to get the giblets out so that should accelerate the process. We also set up all the silverware and whatnot so that's ready. We'll just have some last-minute stuff to do tomorrow like the mashed potatoes and gravy.

My younger cousin and his parents are coming tomorrow. The cousin's older brother had his wisdom teeth out today so I doubt he'll come around. How lame is THAT? I was considering maybe offering him a bowl of gravy though. There are two others coming two.

When I went into the garage this afternoon, I not only fell, I slammed my finger in a metal door in the process. It still hurts. Mom said she was sorry she wasn't around to see me fall. My family tends to think injury is funny.

I tried searching for Google and it wouldn't let me. It said "No. Mystery Google."

The speckles remind me of a Silent Hill creature...

The Twilight underpants were actually made as a joke and a satire on obsessive fangirlism, so that's why I find their popularity funny.

Nah, it was just some idiot thinking he was doing a favor. Someone called him out on stealing it and he said "Yeah, I know it's stolen, but it's not on Newgrounds yet so it's not that big of a problem." *headdesk* I know there were a couple fileswaps yesterday though.

I would have ruled out a film major anyways due to the fact the degree is about as useful as a fine arts or music theory degree. Both of those are worth jack shit. Go with something you can actually get hired in after getting the degree.

Here's something I don't get about the abusive review policy. If you know for a fact that something is stolen, then why can you get flagged for saying so? Because if something stolen slips through the Portal, like it just did, then I consider it kind of a public service announcement to say so. (I also did PM Wade about it so I'm not just blowing off steam here.)

When I went to grad school, I used the gym there a lot. About a month after I graduated, said gym had a problem with MRSA. *twitch* Glad I missed that.

This place requires me to bring a change of shoes. I can understand why, but it's a bit of a pain. Supposedly they don't have lockers either, but I may be able to score one on the bottom floor since I'm a commuting student. Even so, it's not like I have to bring a ton of stuff--just keys and the ID card.

I may have to start heading to the campus rec center. Dieting alone doesn't seem to work. *sigh*

I'm glad I don't have that much weight to lose and am not huge. I'd say 15 pounds. Still, though, I don't feel that great about myself, despite my boyfriend thinking I'm okay.

Earlier this year, when I dropped all that weight for whatever reason, I didn't like how tiny I was, so I'm hoping to reach a good medium here. Of course, the holiday season coming up doesn't help.

Very happy about numbers 2 and 3. I was hoping #2 would be on the list someday, even if it didn't have all the features of the sequels. I spent many happy hours playing it. #3 was also awesome back in the day.

If there's any left, I'm gonna take some leftover turkey back here to my apartment. It's free and I need to remember to eat more meat. Last year there were no leftovers. We had a 20-lb. bird and everyone ate everything.

Actually, I should take other leftovers too. They're free and I can stay out of the grocery store a bit longer. Assuming we have that many. We're having fewer people this year. My one cousin is having his wisdom teeth out the day before Thanksgiving. How lame is THAT? I was considering offering him a bowl of gravy.

The holidays do worry me a bit since I'm trying to lose weight. My body has done weird things since last year. I suddenly dropped 25 pounds due to stress over the course of the year and it's come back and then some. I dunno if the drop has anything to do with it though.

The problem we had with vampire fiction when I worked at the library is that the market has begun to become saturated. Teenagers in particular have already moved on to the next thing and we didn't want to order any more vampire books since they began just collecting dust. The Twilight series were really the only vampire books going out.

The zombie market is beginning to flourish, though, so I assume they'll continue buying zombie books...until that market gets saturated and the readers move on to the next thing.

I realized something earlier. If I had a teenage daughter, I could be the evil mom.

"No, you're not going to the midnight premiere of New Moon. It's a school night." MWAHAHAHA.

What privacy laws? School authorities are allowed to check backpacks whenever they damn well please, as long as there is probable cause. If you come to school reeking of nicotine or pot, there's your probable cause right there. Unless you're using the bathroom, there is no privacy in schools.

It was great. The garlic and herb kinda seasons it for you, though I always season my beef with my preferred seasoning anyways. I have never been able to duplicate the chili that girl made, probably because she also used some leftover herbs from her garden.

Learned an interesting chili recipe from the girl that won the chili cook-off at work last year. The secret is to use a jar of Prego's Roasted Garlic and Herb sauce. Beyond that, use whatever the hell you want, but make sure it's in a slow cooker.
