Norman @ Work

8/07/2002

Oh how I wish I was making this up:

Norman: “Hey whiskers, I found these old pictures i took of this 5000.” (note: 5000 = Normanspeak for “hot chick”)
Me: (Looks at pictures and realizes they were taken without her knowledge.)
There are three pictures:

  1. Her walking to her car.
  2. Her walking away from her car, and
  3. Her driving away.

“Norman, were you stalking this poor woman!?”
Norman: “No I wasn’t, I just happened to know her schedule. Like when she came to work and left.”
Me: “That’s stalking! Norman, do you ever just stop for a minute and think to yourself “Wow… I am a friggin LUNATIC?”
Norman:
Me:
Bystanders:
Norman: “I’m not crazy, you are. Here’s a hand granade. POW! Gonna blow you up.”
Bystander: “Yes indeed!”

Sunday Night

7/07/2002

Wow. It’s amazing the way time can fly by when you’re on vacation. The past four days have passed so fast, I can barely concieve how I did so much. Thursday me and Dan just chilled out around the house and stressed a little because our rent checks havn’t cleared so we’re thinkging we may have to pay like, a $300 late fee by the time pay day rolls around again. Friday I brought a tackle box back to Wal-Mart that I had bought to organize my computer cable situation. It was missing all of the little dividers that I needed to keep my screws in their rightful cubical within the lid. After getting the $18 from the Customer Harrassment Service desk I did what any broke person in my situation would have done: I went shopping at thrift stores. Two hours and $4.50 later I have two ties that I’ll never wear (but they look cool) and a $3 suit that doesn’t fit. (The pants fit, but the jacket is waaaaay too small)

I was bored and it killed time, so it’s all good.

Saturday we went to the film fest Jury where we watched entries in the animation and “experimental” category. Most were pretty horrible.

Today, we went to the film jury again and now we’re waiting for Julie to pick us up so we can help with her project for film class. I think she wants us to be in the movie. Oh wait, there she is.

I’ll fill you in on the exciting details when I return.

PS: Anyone want to trade a pre-72 Volkswagen beetle for my 1992 Honda CRX?

Happy Fourth of July

5/07/2002

1:20am and I’m going to bed. Just wanted to log on and wish everyone a happy Fourth of July. Well, it’s no longer the Fourth of July, but isn’t it the thought that counts?

I found out yesterday that my friend, Alberto, accepted a job with the social security office. The downside to this is that there’s a 9 week trainging program starting in 14 days – which means he wont be able to make the Disney World trip that we’ve been planning to take Labor Day weekend. *sigh* Dan’s already switched plans to go home to Montana Wyoming that weekend, which is a good thing for him. I’m basically screwed unless I want to go to Disney World by myself – which I don’t see being all that likely. Julie said something about going somewhere else… that would be fun too, but I really want to make it to Disney before Mickey becomes public domain. (Upon researching this just now I see that Mickey doesn’t enter the public domain until 2019. Hmm.

Time to go to bed. G’night.
