Good... And Good for You

last summer, after countless dating discussions, the hausen brothers and i made a goal that in the coming year we would... DATE SOMEONE WE LIKED that's it. this was essentially a two part goal: #1 we had to date someone, and #2 we had to like them. i haven't technically acheived the goal yet, but the hausen brothers are both married... to girls they like. so you see, the goal is sheer brilliance. it takes all the psychotic love/commitment phobia out of dating. take this goal as your own. learn it. live it. love it.

there's only one thing i hate about summer, and that's the incredible flood of blockbuster disaster movies. thankfully the year of the earth destroying meteors is behind us, but what i still want to know is who allowed the movie "the day after tomorrow" to come into being? it's not going to be good guys. but i'm still tempted to see it, mostly because i want to find out which corny line inspired the even cornier title. prediction #1 i'm hoping the plot focuses around a cute but misunderstood brainiac. some main scientist guy will explain the earth's inevitable doom to the president of the united states. main scientist guy will say something like, "the earth as we know it will die and in it's place an entirely new planet will surface... like saturn... but without the cool rings. everyone will die. like, everyone. california will probably fall into the ocean and antarctica will become a tropical paradise. my point is, this will be even MORE cata...

today was my first day doing graphic designey stuff AT work. they finally bought me a computer, or to be more precise they gave me the computer they originally bought for carolyn. my job is so great. like, SO great. not because of what i'm doing, or who i'm doing it with, but because i can wear WHATEVER i want and it won't get even a little bit covered in chocolate. and i feel somewhat justified in calling my mom and making her buy me congratulatory shoes this weekend. you know, the pointy toed, high heeled shoes at nordstroms that you'd never wear if you were bagging candy all day. ya. those shoes.

ok. i got some freaky yellow highlights which made me feel like i should audition for "x men"... but then i got it re-done and it totally looks good now. i would consider that breaking even. i played powerball and got punched in the mouth so hard that i bled... but then i got a huge carton of cookie dough ice cream as an apology. again, breaking even. my bosses are talking about getting me a computer so that i can design stuff for them all the time... but they want to get me a pc rather than a mac. even. i met a lot of creepy guys this week... not even. NOT EVEN!! sigh... ok.
