oh no

not good

bored at work

Due to my department at work hiring a temp to work on a project (this is stupid on a level that need not be discussed, but whatever) and them setting her up the in other desk that I use when not at the reception desk I have found myself with a good two hours everyday with out anything to do and no computer (place to sit for that matter) to waste time on. I basically wander around the office and organize useless things (or go on walks/get coffee/go shopping) during this time. The one benefit of this is that I now value my time in front of a computer more.

this I don't get

and of course

something's going on here

I think I'm starting to show the early signs of sleep-walking (well maybe not), regardless something very strange is happening. You should know that as a general rule I'm always cold and when I sleep this is made even worse by the fact that I'm not moving/the AC is really strong in my room. So I tend to sleep wearing a lot of clothes (I'm very sexy). The first time 'it' happened I went to sleep wearing yoga pants, t-shirt, hoodie and socks (not joking about the cold thing) however I awoke NOT WEARING PANTS. I'm not a sound sleeper, I don't do things in my sleep and not remember it - at least I never use to. To make it worse my pants were across the room laying in my the closet. I definitely thought this was weird but I said 'hey maybe I just got really angry at the pants in my sleep and threw them from my bed'. Makes sense right?

Last night it happened again. I went to sleep in pants, a long sleeve shirt with a t-shirt over it (don't ask) and socks. This time when I woke up the long sleeve shirt was in a pile at the end of my bed. SOMEHOW in the night I took off both the long and short sleeved shirts and then put the short sleeved shirt back on. All with no memory of this whatsoever. Now I'm freaked out - what else am I doing in my sleep? Also if I got hot why put the t shirt back on? I have my own room, who am I being modest for? So it's settled, I'm going to start locking myself in at night.

grand canyon

so

I realized just now that I start way too many posts with 'so'. I have now begun the conscious effort to stop this behavior.

In other news...I finally bought a new computer!!!!!!! It's all very exciting. I have not had a ton of time to play around with it but there is such a HUGE difference between it and my old computer. I was amazed at how shitty my old screen was; I guess I never really noticed.

My goal is to post some pics this weekend - I started this blog with the intention of posting a lot of pics and that has yet to happen (due to the crappy slowness of my old computer).

I was on flickr today and clicked on this profile without realizing what it was. *WARNING* these photos are extremely graphic.

I'm always torn about things like this. On one hand I think people need to realize how bad the situation is and really it is beyond what I ever imagined - at the same time it runs the risk of being viewed for sick interest (we are all guilty of this). It's things like this as well that make me realize how much the internet/technology has changed everything about how we receive information. We can get things raw and unedited (even when the government is trying to limit that) from so many sources that were never available to the public before.

I can't say if I think this is all good. I guess like most other things affected by technology I think it is both positive in negative in varying degrees.

craigs list, you are always there for me

So this evening sitting at my desk at work trying to think of something to look at on the internet that would keep me entertained until I get off I thought 'ooo there might be new craigslist best of's' '...

This is just the beginning; sadly people kept asking me to do work so I still have a lot to read. But tomorrow is friday and god knows I won't be doing any work.
