It's The Choices That We Choose

not from today

2005-06-11 - 11:32 a.m.

this was from yesterday:
8:23 p.m.
My day started out with going into work and finding out that we sold 88 soviet gas masks. (I work for a company that runs two catalogs, and one has a lot of Russian collectibles). My co-worker Bettina and I were a little weirded out. Because seriously, what is the rush to buy gas masks, and why were all of them purchased in the middle of the night. A little shady, I had to think. All of the orders came from places all over the world, from Australia to the U.K. to Seattle. Why? Oh Why??

So after some research we discovered some guy who has a very popular blog (apparently) posted something about how cool the gas masks are that we have. He provided a link, and a ton of his readers went to the site and ordered them. I wonder how weird this guy must be? Geez. Turns out that we only had seven left, so we had to go and order a ton more, but from some other company because Russia is apparently out of theirs. We went to the heart of LA for that. And it was successful, because the website now shows the new ones.

I was seriously all weirded out at first though, thinking there was going to be some weird gas attack terrorist style that I was unaware of. I would prefer not to die that way. And was it going to happen all over the world, because everyone all over the world was buying them.

So after that whole episode, I decided overture sucks ass. It is a thing i use to do my search engine optimization with, and it is retarded. Completely NOT user-friendly. Rather, annoying, Sydney friendly. Hahaha. Ok.

After that, I went to lunch with a few of my co-workers. They wanted to celebrate my birthday. We went to Wodstocks, which was VERY good, like always. They paid for me. And Carlos, my boss, even gave me a gift certificate for AMC theaters. I am pretty excited about that, because there are some movies I want to watch, that mike would never go to. Plus, for this month, he is pretty much NOT here. Yeah.

Then I went to work at KPBS. And that sucked as usual. Especially with both Susan AND Russ not there. It’s sooo lame. I peaced-out about 15 mins early, and really, I don’t feel guilty. I had finished everything I needed to do 45 minutes prior to that, and it was FRIDAY.

Molly and I met up to go shopping. I ended up buying two cute shirts from aeropostle (sp?). One though, is a little too wide for me. It WAS meant to sleep in. Oh well. The other one is cute though.

When I got home, I discovered I got my new seven jeans in the mail and my gap Capri’s. Turns out the seven jeans were WAAAY too small, and the zipper was broken. So now I can’ even sell them. So I better be able to get a refund, because that seriously sucks. Wonder if I could return them to a store and say I lost the receipt? Where are seven jeans sold anyway? I really don’t know. Also, I don’t think they fit me anyway, if I got the right size. Whatever. Another funny thing, the gap carpri jeans, they fit me like regular jeans. I dont think anyone would ever know they were capri's unless they looked at the tag. hah.

Oh yeah, I also got cute shoes. Payless style, of course, for my cheap ass. YES!

Now I am at home and I need to work-out and study. I skipped judo today because I thought studying was more important. But, really, I would be home in 45 mins from it. So I need to go start studying.

Tomorrow I have to clean my entire house, including moving a lot of mike’s stuff out of my mom’s vision. If she knew he even stayed over she would get pissed. I can’t imagine if she found out he was going to be living here for a month. We will not let her know that though. Who cares anyway, he basically lives with me. I really don’t care. I think I'm doing things the right way, in my mind anyway. I feel no guilt.

I also have to get an oil change and get my car washed. I think there is some place in OB that does both. So I might do that. I really don’t feel like paying to get my car washed though right now, when its all rainy, June gloom, season.

I also am going to the bright eyes/the faint show tomorrow night which I'm excited about. But I really need to get some of this reading done. So how am I going to fit this all in? Who knows. I think I might just pseudo clean my house for right now though. Its my birthday weekend dammit, I can do what I want to do. For the most part, at least.

I'm kind of nervous about my family being here, because I am not sure how to entertain them. I want to take them to Balboa Park but they really don’t have the money to take everyone to the museums that I know most of them don’t want to go to. It’s like torture to them. So maybe we could just go to Coronado. It would please my mom, and then we could walk on the beach, and maybe check our Hotel Del Coronado. I think that might be nice. It will be stressful though because it will be the 5 in my family, and two of my friends. That’s 8 people, including me. So if I am not 100% entertaining, I apologize.

When I was hanging out with molly, I told her I wasn’t missing mike much, and it was strange. But now, suddenly, when I am home all alone, and I am having a fat day, and I have to STUDY, I want him as a distraction. Its not that I even want him to call. I don’t know how to explain it. I would like for him to be here. But then I don’t, because I know I have freaking 20 chapters to learn by Thursday. I'm kind of freaking out about that. I think I'm just not good at being alone.

I should go start on reading now. Maybe work-out and then do that. Sure.

And Diaryland wont let me upload anymore entries, so this might be off, regarding the time on the diary entry.
