Corusca

Lately things have been very calm at work. So calm, in fact, that I’m a bit tired of browsing, even though I found some amusing links: Dark Roasted Blend: Category: Signs. Dave-chan gave me this one the other day and after going through quite a few of them, I ended up not being able to stop laughing, so I had to quit looking at more. Breathing was becoming an issue. So I’m taking it slow, and reading a bit each day so people don’t look at me like I’m a looney (more than they already do, that is). What’s so amusing about those signs? Browse there for a while and you’ll soon find out.

Also keeping me entertained are the classics I Can Has Cheezburger? and I Has a Hot Dog! . Oh, and Cute Overload for all your daily cuteness needs.

Other than that, I started packing yesterday – everything except the stuff I’ll have to pack today (like toothbrushes, etc.). I was feeling so lazy that I, once again, skipped installing my scanner’s drivers and my preferred image editing program on my recently formated laptop. Too bad, since I’ve been drawing some stuff lately and wanted to post some sketches here. I also didn’t post last weekend’s photos, not that’s a regular thing I will always do, but I actually managed to take some photos of stuff I did despite being sick. I’ll have to do that whole installation thing after Munich.

I also managed to finish one of the three novels I was reading. Go me! Now, onwards to more George R. R. Martin. That reminds me that I’ve purchased the third volume of GRRM’s Song of Ice and Fire novels, in portuguese (where each of the original english books is divided into two huge books – volume 3 here is actually the first half of the second novel in the original version) to take to Rafa, who asked me to take it to him in Munich. I am slowly, but steadily turning everyone I know into George R. R. Martin fans. Heh.

Movie-wise, over the weekend I watched Blade Runner at the movies (YEAH! \o/ ), and also saw My Blueberry Nights, which is decent enough.

Oh yeah, despite having Internet access on my friend’s Munich house, I’ll probably be a major slacker and not post for the next four days. So this is possibly my last post until then. If so, have a nice next few days, folks!

Found Shit – pictures of… well, everything you can imagine. Check out the Amazing section if you don’t want to browse through everything.

Passive-Agressive Notes – notes people leave everywhere, usually with some witty aggressiveness message going on.

PhotoShop Disasters – Photoshop gone wrong. I’m wondering how this passes through reviewers. ‘Sure, Chun Li’s thumb looks natural – she used to be a man!’

[ Overheard on the bus today ]

Xenophobic Lady: Oh my gawd, Indians smell horribly! They smell like fish!

Guy who seemed to have Indian ancestry (and who obviously didn’t smell like fish): *sideways glare*

Where do these people get those ideas? Seriously…

Right now I am:

a) Sleepy.

b) With neck pain whenever I rotate it

c) Wanting to try out a Martha Stewart recipe – French Toast Kebabs. Am I sick or something?

d) Coughing, sneezing, or coughing some more.

e) Thinking if this idiot ever becomes Prime Minister, I’ll relocate to another country. Spain perhaps.

f) Being amused by this. And liking this.

g) Thinking about my camera’s cables. Damn you Sony, for not using mini USB like everyone else!

h) Doin’ the inner happy dance as this week only has three working days. W00t!

i) Wondering if I’m going to get lost today on my way to the medical exam.

j) Wanting to talk to Rafa, who isn’t online. Wheereeee areeee yooooou, Rafa?

k) Turning my head. Ouch.

Still giggling about this.
