I’m in the mood to listen to Radiohead again.
Only a few more hours to go, and I’ll be off from work for two whole weeks. TWO. WHOLE. WEEKS. That’s the longest I’ve had off work at once in a very long time. I don’t typically take long vacations during the summer or anything, because, well, what’s the point? Andy gets perhaps 3 hours off a year, so we wouldn’t exactly go anywhere. But Christmas falling where it is this year, it made it easy for me to take off the rest of the week following New Year’s, so I’m getting a long vacation.
It will probably go by too fast and end up seeming like 2 days, but oh well.
So, seeing as I will be gone for such an extended period of time, I don’t see much of a point and doing anything at all today at work. I spent the morning cleaning out the inside of my desk, which happens to not have been cleaned in at least 2 years. Perhaps 3. I found tax forms from 2004 in there. Awesome. And old print outs of website layouts from ages ago. Which seriously made me wonder what on earth was wrong with me back then for using such hideous typography.
And right now, just after lunch, I’m making backups of everything to an external drive for off-site keeping. You know, just in case the building burns down. After this is done, there’s no telling what I’ll do.
I’ll tell you what I want to do, and that’s watch Quarterlife. A couple days ago, this series was mentioned in my Live Journal friends list, and I decided to check it out. What an awesome decision that was! I was instantly hooked. Such an entertaining character drama. If you like my Sim stories, I think you would like this show. Kind of melodramatic, and some critics describe it as angsty, but it’s good melodrama and angst. I like the characters, and the main girl, Dylan looks just like Courtney Cox, it’s rather uncanny.
It’s entirely on the internet for now, released twice a week, I think. But I also think I read it’s being picked up by NBC. Which is interesting. After watching all the episodes out thus far, I have a hard time imagining this being on TV instead of the net.
And that’s all I have to say for now, I suppose. 1:36 PM. Go faster, time.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
Whoa, I checked your website the second after you made this entry. Odd. Well anyways, I’m so excited for winter break too. I have just Friday left, and I get done at 10:10. 2 HOURS of school tomorrow. I’m so ready. I get to go to Park City for a week, which I’m also ready for. Well, I better get back to studying for my last midterm tomorrow. Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! =]

Hey Jaclyn, wow, you’re into that show too? I’ve been hooked since it first aired. I can’t imagine the show on live television, that would be something, but for now I just love it on myspace.
Hey! I’m a fan of your story “I woke up in LA”. I’ve been working on a few of my own now, and I realised that the series I made recently is a bit similar to yours. But I made this before I read your story, and I accidentally eraced the album so I had to start again. But anyhow, I was wondering if you don’t want me to publish it. And the other thing is, I realised how much I’m like Mat in you story. I mean, I have this guy and we fight all the time, physically and verbally (as a joke of course, and we are, indeed, in love!) and I’ve got frizzy hair. I have legs and arms with no hair, and no I don’t shave, and I even have red streaks. Plus, her personality and attitude just goes along with who I am! It made me feel like it’s me, that I’m Mat. Anyway, it’s a great pleasure to read your facsinating story, and if you want to reply, just reply to my email up above. Thanks alot!
i didnt read your blog because i was listening to creep by radiohead and i realized hey i havent read your blog in ages…
and LOOK AT YOUR TITLE.
Ok. just needed to say that. Yeah, i like radiohead now =]
=] i will read this entry now though.
unfortunately i read it and theres nothing i can even remotely comment on xD
I thought I was going back to school on Monday of this week, as in tomorrow, but I’m so happy..I”m going back to school on Tuesday of the week after. Jesus christ, thats a LOOONG brake for me. I never know what to do with my time, create skins and stuff? Lol anyone message me at Whatevergirl2727 please…lol! I really need ideas. If anyone gives me a request to make them hair, clothes, skin, sim, eyes, etc. I will do it cause I have nothing to do. And I like making things for nice people lol
Thanks for the comments, guys, and I hope your holidays were fantastic!
Reese, yay! Another Quarterlife fan. Hehe. It’s so addicting, I was a bit bummed that this last episode 16 was so short. It was easier when I first started watching, and did like 12 in a row.
Samantha, I bet there are lots of similar story lines to I Woke Up LA. If your characters are your own, it’s probably just fine. ^__^ I’d love to check it out sometime. That’s very cool you have so much in common with Mat!
Erica—-YAY! Welcome to the awesomeness that is Radiohead. Creep, eh? I’m curious if you’re more like Andy and much prefer their older songs to the newer ones. ^^
Have fun with your extra time off, Alicia! Check out the CC request line at the Sims 2 Writers’ Hangout if you want to make a bunch of stuff. http://sims2writershangout.com
