Current Music: What else? Happy Birthday! Subject: Happy Birthday to Me! Time: 08:12 pm Current Mood: bouncy

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to Codi! Happy Birthday to me! They had streamers and balloons decorating my cube at work today. That was cool. Todd bought me a Tivo. It's super cool. No more commercials during Gilmore Girls. No more missed Girlmore Girls cause I had to work late. No more missed Girlmore Girls cause Todd says it's a girl show and won't watch it with me. Yay! He also got me a new CD, James Blunt, he's really cool. I dig it. Check him out.

Current Music: Random television show Subject: Hotel rooms suck Time: 11:21 pm Current Mood: bored

But at least I'm in San Jose where it's decently nice out and no snow. And, Lorelai and Rory are back together! So all is okay. But Luke as a dad? What the hell is up with that? Law and Order SVU is currently on, but I can't watch it cuz I'm alone in a hotel room and would be freaked the heck out. So I'm listening to some other lame show and surfing ebay, cause I'm bored bored bored! What, do you ask, am I doing in San Jose? I'm at a conference, and it's pretty cool. I present Thursday afternoon, and my presentation is done and should be good to go. So until then, trying to learn things from the seminars and check in with people I met last year to see what's new. The light rail goes outside the hotel and there's an air pattern too, so there are random flights that are loud. But, I have a corner hotel room so it's kind of cool to be able to see out the windows in two directions. Yup, bored bored bored.

Current Music: White noise of the office Subject: Auntie Tinklebell? Time: 10:44 am Current Mood: hungry

So, we got some news from Heather, she's preggers. So Mom's going to be a grandma, and I'm going to be Auntie Tink. Um, not sure how I feel about this. Apparently the guy is a student at Mines (but he's like 40) and he's going to drop out, move to Montana, marry her, and be a stay at home dad, cause she's got a job. So we'll see, could be interesting. Not really excited, I mean, it's like a friend of the family is pregnant, not like a close friend or a relative, even though she is. I'm just never available for babysitting :)

Current Music: Mad World Subject: CSI Rocks Time: 09:33 pm Current Mood: hungry

So, I watched CSI last week on Thursday, and a song sounded really really familiar, and it's been stuck in my head since then. So I google'd "CSI Song" and apparently other people were thinking the same thing, and it turns out to be "Mad World" from Donnie Darko. Small world! And, for the CSI people to have used the theme song from Donnie Darko just rocks.

Current Music: Jack Johnson of Course Subject: Jack Johnson Rocks! Time: 10:54 am Current Mood: caffinated

Saw Jack Johnson at Red Rocks last night, very awesome concert. Opening bands were okay, Matt Costa was pretty decent, ALO was kind of strange. Who has a song called "Do you like my pecs?", I mean seriously. They also had a song about the lead singer's daughters birth, which was sweet, until it had lyrics like "we wanted to have you naturally, but the doctors said if you didn't come by tuesday they'd induce"... too much information. But Jack Johnson was very cool. But, smart that I am, scheduled a training class for 8am this morning, and of course I was the trainer not the trainee so I actually had to be awake and coherant to give the class, so I'm on my third caffinated beverage and kind of jumpy. Probably should eat something :)

Subject: Music Thingy Time: 09:29 pm

List five songs that you are currently digging. It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good. But they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to. Shut-up and Smile - Bowling for Soup Swing Life Away - Rise Against Girl - Beck Sunrise - Nora Jones Crazy - Alana Davis I have no clue how to tag, or even who else to tag, so too bad!

Current Music: Iron Chef on TV Subject: Ain't work fun? Time: 09:27 pm Current Mood: sleepy

I have become addicted to Starbucks frappuccinos. I have also decided that my life mimics office space (I read a post by someone that said this too, but mine really does): Typical day in my life - 7:15am - Drive to work, late as usual, crawl through stop lights and listen to music way too loud to get my eyes to open up. 8:15am - pull into parking garage, and have to park on like the 8th floor cuz i'm late. 8:30am - get to desk, check e-mail. 8:40am - read headlines on google news. 9:02am - go get coffee downstairs at the coffee shop (not Starbucks). Talk to the girls down there (Jennifer and Molly and Amanda, they're nice and they always remember my drink, grande nonfat chai) 9:30am - back at desk, check e-mail. 10:00am - start making lunch plans. 11:00am - go to lunch somewhere downtown, taking time to enjoy the walk and people watch. 12:15pm - get back from lunch, check e-mail. 12:30pm - maybe do some work, but most likely, take a walk around the floor to say hi to people. 2:00pm - Starbucks run. It's a few blocks away, so take time walking and enjoying the fresh air. 2:30pm - get back from Starbucks, check e-mail. 3:00pm - maybe do some work, most likely surf and enjoy the frapuccino. 4:00pm - start packing up, maybe schedule some meetings for myself for tomorrow so that I look booked up so people don't schedule meetings with me. 4:45pm - leave work to hopefully beat traffic. Yup, and tomorrow's Friday, which means that lunch will be longer (maybe 1.5-2 hours), and leave earlier (probably 4ish).

Subject: Death sucks Time: 07:00 pm Current Mood: sad

Today I found out that someone I used to work with died in a car accident late Sunday night. How sucky is that to start your day off. I was waiting for someone else to die, I know it sounds bad, but it always happens in threes, and Tim's dad died, then my great aunt Helen died, so I knew another was coming. But it's not easy. Today's just been kind of blah, not really sure what I did today, but I'm sure it was something. I stayed at work, cause what else was I gonna do, sit at home and mope? But just kind of blah this evening. Just sucks.

Current Music: White Noise of the Office - Haven't dug out the iPod yet Subject: Movies Movies Movies Time: 09:36 am Current Mood: Monday's Suck

Watched a few strange movies the past few times, I guess going into Hollywood video and trying to find good, interesting movies has become harder and harder. But, after passing over Donnie Darko so many times and then finding out what an amazing movie it is, we're trying to look for those innocuous movies that are truly cool. We watched Code 46 last night, Tim Robbins movie, totally strange. Was a good movie though, one of those where you go "hrm" at the end. Also watched Kinsey, which was also good. I soooo want to go see Wedding Crashers and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... maybe this weekend.

Subject: Babies are cute Time: 09:08 pm Current Mood: touched by a baby

A girl at work brought in her baby son today, Tate, he's one month old. He was adorable. At first I refused to hold him 'cause every time I pick up a baby they start screaming their head off. But they made me, so I held him and of course he cried and squirmed and then he got comfortable and instantly fell asleep. So I held him, rocking, standing there with everyone at work for a good half an hour, and he just slept. Everyone was like you're a natural, you need one, when are you going to pop one out, blah blah blah. Maybe some day. But I should probably baby sit one first.

Subject: Gilmore Girls is a Great Guide to Life Time: 09:05 pm Current Mood: thoughtful

Did you watch tonight? It was the LDB. And Rory was questioning whether she was too safe, if she took enough chances in life, etc. I feel the same way, the only risks I've taken are driving too fast and my tattoo. Not really walking on the wild side here. I should probably work on that, do something outside of my comfort zone more. But it's hard to take that first step.

Hope you're watching ABC Family - it's a marathon of Gilmore Girls! Our AC is out, so it's too damn hot to do anything but sit and watch Gilmore Girls! Much better than flipping around and watching lame TV.

Current Music: Mix from Katie Subject: Just happily listening away to my music Time: 08:52 am Current Mood: giggly

Which is set on random, for everything that Katie gave me last week. I'm just working away, being productive and responding to my email, and all of a sudden I hear "With Karate I'll kick your ass, here to Tienanmen square" and I just bust out laughing. Thanks for the welcome break at work! But then, the next song, "Quiet" by Rachel Yamagata skips something awful. You'll have to get me another copy, cause this is driving me insane!
