zalliaIt's another one of those blarg kind of days. I come in to work at 5:00pm and right after the PC reservation computer is all infected with viruses and going haywire and our sysadmin guy just left. It seems to have stabilized for the time being, but the cruddy thing is still on there, so I'm just waiting for a rare-up again. At least the rest of the library seems calm, so hopefully the crazies got it out of their system earlier today cause I am so not in the mood for hearing about yahweh and the statues we should have instead of the Tree of Knowledge. At least Robert's working with me tonight.
Let's see, I got most of the presents wrapped tonight. There's still dad's beer, but I'll probably just be lazy and leave that in the bag cause you're gonna know it's beer anyways. That stupid knitting order still hasn't come in, thought Mom's still got way more presents from me in terms of quantity than my brother or dad, so I was going to turn half of it into stocking stuffers anyways, but then she was getting all mopey about not having stuff in there, but it's like I already spent so much! And who the hell knows what my dad will do.
And the secret santa stuff was also in that shipment, which today was the last day to get it because we close at 1pm tomorrow and she's on vacation til Jan 2nd or 5th or something. And I've cocked up more stuff at work that I'm trying to fix thru her while the boss is on vacation and it's all so horribly awkward and I hate myself for getting into these messes in the first place since it's all my fault for being so fucking weird about just getting shit done. *breath*
So that and a Schliech fairy Danny and I got for mom is the last of the wrapping. I've got the stuff in my truck to take over after work so Mom can enjoy the fancy wrapping paper I got this year. All silver and red and black and one has silver bunnies on it.
I decided to forego the pukis for awhile. Those two faceplates aren't that great and I could probably get them on the marketplace down the line and don't want to buy an extra body anyways. The car bill ended up at $420, and between that and the massive visa bill that has Kanoa and Christmas on it, I reaaaally can't justify a major doll purchase. I did buy a little bobobie niblet though since she was $50 cause her hand is broken, but eh. Mom was like "She looks sad and like she needs a new home!" And she has purple eyes. So when I hear back from the girl, I pay and then she tells me she won't be able to ship til after the holidays....on Jan. 2. That's 11 days. I was kinda miffed that she put it up for sale knowing this, but she said since her other 2 dolls hadn't sold in a while she didn't think this one would either. So she's trying to get it out tonight, but if not, I suppose I'll wait, though it was supposed to help curb the puki urges. *exhale*
Mom's working on the dress for the BJD costume contest, I'm going to try and do an xmas photo with Tessa and Adam on Christmas day and work on that faceplate either tonight or tomorrow. Or maybe xmas day if I get out of my parents house early enough. Naomi's set to come over when Robert and I get off work, but we'll have to call it early around 5 for our respected family eatings. I'm planning to spend the night over there and take the Chiblet with me so she can be reunited with Mishka though I'm worried how the gray cats will get along with her.
I've been trying to watch True Blood online, which is lame at best, but they're marathoning it on New Year's Eve and hopefully me or Mom will remember to tape it. I've only started book 3 on the series, but the guy who plays Bill is dreamy even though I don't care for much of the rest of the cast. Waiting to see what they did with Eric though. Usually pilots are the crappy first ep and then it gets better after the 2nd? Not this show. I liked everybody in the pilot a shitton better than I like them in the second episode. Especially first Tara. Paquin's performance gets really hammy and manic too, so hopefully that evens out.
Anyways, guess that's enough yapping. Hope everyone else is managing the holidays, too.

Date: 2008-12-24 02:42 am (UTC)Haha, yeah, I thought of you. ;) Sorry, I snagged her. *^^ She was a boy and "modded" to a girl, so I'm not sure what extra damage that might entail. I think I might try to face her up to be more happy too. But I'm really only saving $28 and with the damage and all...but yeah, I've pretty much just been trolling the marketplace waiting for cheap pukis or something. The joys of being able to jack around the internet at work. Which has probably led to that other problem I mentioned up there, though. >_>
