2 very simple wallpapers

I just made an insanely simple Summer Glau wallpaper but after I set it as my personal desktop it lost it's prettiness cuz I have so much clutter on there! haha. Oh well. I'm so happy with it! Even though it took absolutely no talent at all! Wonder if there are more photos from this shoot....

inspired by how that one turned out, I also made one with alyison hannigan (willow). I just downloaded the brush sets made by twistedswanton and I'm addicted to them. I must put them on everything!!!!

Kind of a random day - worked at the library from 1-5, it was pretty busy so time went by fast enough. Had an urge for Chipotle after work, so I went to the brand new one across the street from the library....well sorta across the street...it was on my way...okay, it was a slight detour, but it was worth it!!!

Then I came home and played some WoWz. Little Inara finally leveled up to 40 but she's too broke to actually buy a mount. Heck, she can barely afford the training to learn how to ride one in the first place! So I'm thinking I'll just take my time gathering money and try to build up my reputation in Ironforge, see if I can't get a Ram instead of a robot chicken. jimithingy cheated, as Aaylla is a palladin and they don't have to buy mounts, they just get a spell to conjure one! SO not fair.

Um...yeah that was pretty much my whole day right there. Not really the most exciting day ever, but it was a sunday and one should never do too much on a sunday.

Uuuuuh so, yeah, that's really all i have to say right now haha. I have a 4 hour shift tomorrow, which will either be hopping or dead...if it's dead, expect another strange, nostalgic post from me to prompt responses from you. hehe. Possibly focusing on Nintendo this time around....or Disney showtunes....I haven't decided yet.

Toodles!

real life only wonkier

well...4 hour shift here...on the children's desk...school isn't even really out yet...so you can imagine...it's very....very.....quiet......

My interview for a full-time position is tomorrow! I don't feel nervous yet. I've done this enough now I guess. I just need to remember to sell my talents. So, tomorrow, around 2pm, everyone cross their fingers for me. Then cross your fingers about an hour later that Burger King has new star wars toys in (because after a stressful interview I will need those little guys to cheer me up!)

Hm...what shall I muse about while I'm down here. I watched 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' the other night. I was in the mood for a popcorn movie. Something I could crunch and just enjoy. I have to say, I think that movie might be perfect. Sure, it's not "great art" or anything like that, but its' just fun. And it ages very well. You can tell that everyone is having a good time in that movie, especially Sean Connery! haha. And I remembered every single word.

And talk about distinct childhood memories, I remember when I saw it in the theater with my parents, it was one of my first "opening weekend" movies that we all did together. And I remember when Donovan shoots Indy's dad...oh I broke down in tears! I was only 8 years old and that was shocking to me! I was sure he wasn't going to make it!

The Indy films hold a special place in my heart, probably very close to the spot Star Wars occupies. So many childhood memories. I was scared to death of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and refused to watch it for many years because of the freaky skeleton ghosts at the end. But for some odd reason, a guy getting his heart ripped out didn't bother me, so I used to watch 'Temple of Doom' all the time. I even have a cassette tape of me attempting to retell the story - stopping right in the middle and telling a joke from the first 5 minutes that I forgot to mention.

Lordy lordy, me and my fisher price cassette player/recorder. I loved that thing. I used to carry it with me everywhere and record my adventures. I couldn't have been more than 6 or 7, but I know I was at a playground with my friend Kelly and we were climbing up the twisty slide. One of us would stand up top with the recorder, giving a play-by-play of the other's progress, which would end with them sliding back down the slide usually squealing all the way.

I wonder what happened to Kelly. Of course, we were only 7 years old, it's hard to say whether we would have stayed friends beyond that. Same with my best buddy in 6th grade, Tara Kurtz (at least I remember her last name!) We were inseperable for about a year...then her dad was transferred. I think we managed to do one bit of correspondance, but this was in the pre-internet days so no quick and easy email. I imagine it's easier to stay in touch now.

well, that was all over the place, wasn't it? Killed about 15 minutes of slow desk time too. I need to be amused here people. Tell me about your Indiana Jones memories, or if not Indy, another film that holds that special place in your heart that you can still watch today. Have you managed to stay in touch with childhood friends or are all of your current friends people that you've met in the last 5 years?

And what the hell am I going to watch tonight now that FOX has pulled both Arrested Development and Kitchen Confidential!!??

p.s. iconifer made some amusing star wars icons *points to her current one* you should check them out if you want a giggle!

but we already knew that didn't we?

Rock Star You scored 92%!

You damn rock star. You know all the basics, and if you got any wrong, I bet it was that stupid Traveling Wilburys question. Your friends are probably intimidated by your knowledge of classic rock and envy your impressive collection. When a classic rock song comes on the radio, you can probably identify it before the vocals kick in most of the time. You probably get good scores on the "maiden name of Clapton's mom" tests, too.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 76% on notes

The questions I missed were probably the ones about 70s-80s rock, which is not classic rock, not yet. So it's not fair to lump it in there. I got the Wilbury's one because any Beatles fan would know that.
