brain-stick

so much for working on my seminar today :/

i got home last night and suddenly remembered that it was ze irish german's birthday gathering, so i headed off to meet everyone and had a really good time. dizi's a cool bar.

and i remembered to buy eggs on the way back.

pg and i watched an episode of flight of the concords, which i don't think she really got :(

...

orange woke me up at 7.30am with sms'es alerting me to the fact that my contacts list was being backed up. brilliant timing. i couldn't get back to sleep, and i'd planned on staying in bed until 11am at least...

first phone call - AGAIN with the rooms. now they're angry with me because i went directly to the source, when before they were angry with me for NOT going directly to the source. everyone's offended even though i specifically asked each and every one to make damn sure that it was all alright. we're meeting tomorrow, and i'm going to give both sets of idiots an earful.

pg and i missioned off to the mall to pick up our gas masks (and, incidentally, all her family's as well): it's unbelievable. homefront command seem to be making every effort to ensure that nobody has a clue that they're handing them out. they even have a door-to-door service for when most people are at work, and then claim that it's their own fault if they weren't at home. we only know because ONE of us received the "last notice before you have to REALLY make an effort".

charming.

i had coffee with dp, which was quite fun, and then came to work. some of work's been interesting, most not. i do know that i've spent far too long in front of the pc, though, and my eyes are hurting. and i have yet to touch my seminar this week :S

[so i'm going to go do that]
