low powered

i watched the big damn documentary yesterday, and immediately bought the series and movie from amazon. i almost feel bad for not having done so before, but a late show of appreciation is better than never, right?

i slept much better last night, after passing out around 4am at the end of gulliver's travels (first time i've seen the whole thing). unfortunately, i slept so well that i bypassed my alarm and woke up at 9.55am, too late to make the blood tests.

today i watched the pick of destiny, which was cute. there's something i really loved in the movie, but i've since completely forgotten what it was.

i followed it up with disney's alice in wonderland. i found one striking quote that i've never noticed before: tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum offering to play a game of "button, button, who's got the button?" with alice. i'm only familiar with the game from go ask alice...

i spent most of the day reading serenity - those left behind, sinfest, phd and megatokyo - it would take me many more sick days to catch up but i'm quite comfortable doing it in bits and pieces.

my appetite's slowly returning, but the kitchen's power's out which makes it a tad complicated to prepare food :(
[why didn't i think of moving the appliances to another room before? *rushes off and discovers that the power's back on anyway*]

i corrected for the mistake i made on friday, so tomorrow while i'm out being bled i'll close that story as well :)

a friend of a friend accidentally let slip that i have a new team member, and shortly after my TL called me and i had to hint it out of him... then my SC called to inform me that he only noticed today that i haven't been around :P

a few weeks ago i sent out a request for everyone in the section to bring things for a group breakfast, which was to occur yesterday. being sick i figured that they'd lame out and wait for me, but i'm quite happy to have heard that it was done and enjoyed ^_^

bit of the internet, captured for you:

some screenshots and a totally rocking half-hour demo video for the upcoming game spore. looks completely awesome.

no need for extras - quite an impressive trick

i can only think of one word for this one: douchebag.

the pooch from sinfest doesn't stop making me smile :)
