simpsonized!

...and only one more day until the long-awaited book!

RAWR!

So I had this dream that my sister and I were in a beach house, and she had kind of acquired a jaguar. He just kinda hung out, didn't do much of anything. Very odd. However, I do have a black cat... maybe she's manifesting her self-image through my dreams.
I went to Atlanta on my first business trip! I left with my co-designer on Thursday, and we cut it very close with our time. But everything went ok, and we got there on time. My director took us to lunch at a very nice Italian restaurant there, and that night we had a party for the opening of our new showroom at the Atlanta mart. WHICH is an enormously huge complex, by Friday evening my feet were suffering. Then my flight home got cancelled and through a difficult series of events, I got home Saturday morning. My wonderful boyfriend picked me up VERY early on a Saturday, which was really sweet. After a good long nap through the middle of the day, my sister and I got ready for 311 at Mud Island, went for giant beers with an old friend and fellow 311 devotee, and then finally met up with my best friend. It was fantastic.
Now it's back to work. I'm getting some opportunities at WEVL to fool around with some graphics, and I want to take advantage of that as much as possible!

hissing fauna...?

I case you can't see it, this is a very sad story about a horribly abused little boy. However, the ad placements around it make for an interesting match. Weight Watchers next to dinner recipes is bad enough, but mixed into a story about starvation!? Ridiculous.
Tomorrow's the big day! For movie geeks. Like me. I'm almost done rereading the book, its pathetic how much I don't remember. I'll finish it at work today and start #6 tonight, I'm on a roll. And 311 this Saturday? Splendid. I also just recently found out that Queens of the Stone Age will be coming, and I've been wanting to see them forever! Forever being as long as I've listened to them. Thursday I'll be heading to Atlanta, so there's a lot to do between now and the weekend!

Here are some good links:

mmmmm

WOW am I excited for this movie. Not to mention the book, which may merit a fairly emotional response. I'm unbelievably psyched. And I can't imagine that any of it will end well for Harry.

I realized that my little cat isn't just a little bitch, she's actually been sick for a bit. Poor little thing. I took her to the vet, which is poorly times due to my financial situation, but can't be helped. Things aren't terrible at work, so I can actually leave a little early, which is always exciting to me! Next week this time I'll be in Atlanta, and getting ready to come back to Memphis! I'm very interested to see what a trade show and marketplace is like, and not at all sad that I won't be there long.

Not much going on this weekend that I know of... mostly preparing for the trip and NOT spending anything I don't have to. Works for me, I've got the rest of the Order of the Phoenix to reread by Wednesday!
