bored bored bored... sitting in my office at work contemplating whether or not I should go sit at the ref desk and play the part of 'stereotypical librarian' or find something constructive to do. My mind has been elsewhere today, I'm fucking sick of typing out html for the library's new book list and really just want to watch some obscure movie or ( Read more... )

so i haven't updated in quite a bit.. I'm not really sure why, I check LJ everyday (almost, weekends usually excluded) and so don't have any real reason not to update, or at least write something. Kind of pathetico senioriosmos. Letz see.... Lately I've been playing mad hardcore Dynasty Warriors 4. It's pretty effin cool and I'm having fun just ( Read more... )

all is calm here, the nagging bug that once was is now staring opulescently into a computer moniter and laughing to her self. I think she's looking at Mc Jackson stuff again.
