⇒ a hard week at work...

terrible, terrible week at work. Mostly because of impossible deadlines I'm supposed to work to. If you're gonna throw me work at the last minute, then I'm gonna give it to you late. Thems the breaks. I mean, I'm not slacking off at work; if anything, I'm working harder than ever, but everything I do takes a certain amount of time, and if I don't have that time then:
1. my work suffers
2. i won't be happy. you won't be happy. nobody will be happy.

And another thing: stop distracting me with your incessant banter, I thought this was a professional workplace, not a mess hall. And stop heaping work on me when I've already got something else to do. It's impossible to complete things on time when you keep throwing me more and more work, especially at the last minute.

enough work rant for today...

i don't wanna be hard on microsh!t, but they do bring it on themselves...have they ever had an original idea? jeebus! this is disgusting...OR maybe they were the first to come up with the concept of copying everybody else! An original thought by Microsh!t! Huzzah!

Starcraft? Check. Papercraft? Check. Can I get a hell yeah!

cool Samus vs. Master Chief. Animation missteps once or twice, the cuts are sometimes too quick and the choreography is way over the top, but it's damn enjoyable and did put a smile on my face. I digitally applaud you, Monty Oum.

⇒ 3rd strike yo, street fighter III!

Yesterday, finally got a day of rest (been sick or at work or both). Had to rush some things because of the time I woke up but when I did go to pick up my shirts from Myer in the City, there was a really cute girl working there (Tracey). She's cute, petite, asian and most fascinatingly, she has freckles. I couldn't take my eyes off them. The only made her more unbelievable. But I did not try. I'm too long out of the game to be making moves at this point in time. I'll do something about it soon enough, but seriously, I work and uni 4 days and 4 nights a week, and need project time the rest of the time off, so when the heck am i supposed to try? More later...

Last nite went to Frank's 24th b'day dinner and chaser activities. Dinner was ok. In Glebe, which is a downer cuz I gotta pay to eat so close to home. Then Karaoke and games in the city. Fun, but smoky, poorly ventilated and boozy. I partook in a drinking game but the poison was b-eer (I hate b-eer!). Also the smoke smell just don't come off. I'm sick of people who smoke. Wtf? I mean, you haven't figured out that this sh!t is bad for you yet? Or is it because your too cool to care about anything and yet you need to complete your image with a blunt? I hate smokers!. There was a cute and v. interesting girl there, but she smokes. If she didn't smoke I probably would've gone for it, but the ciggies kill the mood real quick.

went to (free) squash today. Overall, more bad than good. I was whipped by Alex and Franky (like 11-1 n sh!t).

Though I did pick up by the end of the day, putting in an absolutely tremendous and crazy courageous fight back from 10-nil to just get edged out 13-11. Even though I lost, it still felt like a victory for me. HOORAY! HOORAY FOR ME!!! KA-KA-KA-KA! (If you don't watch Dave Chappelle, don't bother with the joke)

Went to place an order for 3 months' supply of contacts (known in some circles as "Frequent Replacement Spherical") and I was expecting them to lay some bullsh!t "you gotta have a prescription less than 2 years old" but they didn't. Even better, they had my specific request in stock, so I walked in and out in minutes with my contacts, which will probably last me 1.5 years, or thereabouts.

Came home, got a haircut (a good one) and then 3rd striked wit bob. WHOOPED his monkey-a$$! Man I was just doin my thing (control pad, not stick) and Things just came together for me. I ended up with a roster of Chun-Li (Flash color), Urien, Ryu, Hugo and Alex (in that order). Theo used Ibuki, Alex, Necro, Dudley, Ken, Alex, Makoto, Yun and Yang (I think that's all--maybe more) and he repeated some selections but the match totals ended up: 17-4, with a magnificent 11 win streak by Urien (I randomized super arts here and there).

That's what I like, good match play (tho theo noticeably got worse the angrier he got--less parrying, more throwing and carelessness). The tension was crazy! One thing theo needs to master is trash talk. In between matches he isn't very jovial; he takes the loss too seriously methinks. Anyhoo, at least I was up by the point he quit, I mean I rly, rly, rly, rly, RLY hate it when he's up like 8-3 then he quits when I'm just getting a rhythm going.

That's 3rd strike for ya. Exciting, innit?
