2005 Has Begun

Okay, so I said expect audio posts. Well I never got around to doing them, so whatever.

Christmas was great, I guess. It wasn't anything different than the usual, but I still loved getting gifts and doing all the christmas time traditions and such. Also enjoyed by me: getting money. Not only did I get some checks as christmas gifts, I also have been putting in 33 hours or so a week at Sam G's (except this week...more on that later) so I got another check from them in exchange for putting up with some of america's angriest and often dumbest people, Holiday Shoppers.

Not that it was THAT bad this year, but even going in to work on the first day I approached it with a great attitude and thought "this isn't that bad" but on my second day of waking up at 6:45 and the mall opening at 8:00 I got more and more cynical and frustrated by the hour. Thankfully I had some days off before christmas and last week my days were spread out pretty well so it hasn't been all that bad since December 22nd (not to mention the mall returned to normal hours last week).

New Year's eve was...well, interesting. I guess anyone who cares knows how it went down, but hey I had a good time, and there was Waffle House. What could be better?

Working New Year's day...not so cool.

And this week Jay's hours were "slashed" so I'm only in for two days (one of them already has passed) and its awesome. Last christmas I only had 4 days off total and then it was back to Ohio. Even though I had enough money from that one break to last for nearly 6 months, I really do enjoy some time off.

And with this time off it looks like Oyok will finally be back in the studio, or at least doing some playing together. It's been a while since we worked on re-inventing the Seal so it should be interesting to see what happens. No doubt I will have a certain digital camera along for the sessions so you'll see it here first.

Simpsons season 5 is incredible. I have been watching it constantly and I have seriously laughed out loud plenty of times per episode. The "new" staff of writers that came in that season made most of the best episodes in the whole series, so please hope for a quick release of seasons 6-9 as well. The only complaint I have about the set is that Conan O'Brien is pretty quiet on most of his commentary tracks, and was much funnier on the Monorail episode hidden track on season 4, but whatever. That's just almost too nerdy of a complaint to even count (I'd cite the episode numbers but that would be going too far).

Strange, but true: I had a dream last night about Ohio U, but not at all anything important really. In fact, it was something I'd almost completely forgotten about, but there I was, standing in line at Nelson Grab and Go, and it all came flowing back to me, I ordered the "Strips of Fire", and then remembered how horrible the waffle fries always tasted, so I got steak fries. It was like each memory brought out another one, first the place, then the chicken, then the fries. It's just weird because I really honestly don't think about Grab and Go on a daily basis, or ever for that matter. And its strange that I could almost taste the stiff, cold waffle fries just by "thinking" about them (although it was all within a dream so I was actually thinking about everything).

If you've read this far then I commend you...or not, since you really should have lost interest back when I was droning on about Sam Goody, or if not then you should have been scared off by that last really really stupid paragraph about Nelson Grab and Go. But if you enjoyed this really really long post that took me so much time to write, please leave a comment since it has been months since I've recieved even one. If I don't recieve a comment then I will be forced to make another audio post with absolutely no point or entertainment value.



Comments:
this is Adam. I totally enjoyed your entry, althoughi enjoy the audio posts too, except for that they usually make no sense. so keep on writing. I laughed out loud when you reminisced about the Nelson Grab n Go and laughed even more when you said I should've been scared off by that point. you and Ben and I need to get together for some quality donkey konga and getting some characters on my smash bros game.
