knowing a little is a lot if everyone else knows nothing...
this is how i feel at work sometimes. people come in, ask questions, you start spurting off stuff about gsm and gprs technology, and they just go ooooooooh. unfortunately, being able to recite something doesn't always mean you know anything about it. and i hate when people do that normally because it is clear they are full of shit. but sometimes you have to be full of shit to make a little money, my job being a perfect example.
but what i was really thinking about was how much useless information i have gathered about nintendo related stuff from huey. i know stupid things about game boy, gba sp, the new game boy coming out this fall, and the gamecube. things normal people don't know. things normal girls don't know. so i can wow the people i work with by regurgitating this stuff and knowing what a rom cart is and how a link cable works, etc. it's so dumb. i want to wow people with my knowledge of philosphy or something... not game systems.
also, we finally set the date for our housewarming party. this saturday. yes, i know it is short notice. deal with it. we are trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that we can actually only park three or four cars in our driveway (besides ours of course) and that we live on a very narrow road on top of a blind hill. so that cuts out any street parking. after much discussion, our master plan is to have people show up, direct them to the apt. complex about 300 feet down the street, then shuttle them back up the hill to the house. sounds good in theory, but i don't know how well it will work. actually, it sounds horrible in theory, but it's our only option. hey, at least we are tyring to plan ahead a little bit.
and i'm still waiting on my car. or more appropriately, the money to pay for the car. it is now parked up here in georgia. jay's dad had to go on a trip and was flying out of atlanta (he lives in fla) so he drove it up here. now it'll just sit here til i get the money together. and then i will own my first car!! is this one of those items on the list of things that make you an adult?? maybe not. but it will make me feel very good. and it will mark off an item on the ever-important ten things i will do this year list. that list is constantly being updated, and maybe when i get it finalized i will post it here. i had a rough draft some months ago, but things change too much not to adapt.
apart from this, my life is very dull recently. or monotonous. work, come home, unpack something. it seems this last task is never ending. i swear, packed boxes spawn at night and things you are sure you threw away three years ago suddenly appear in them. it's driving me nuts. but luckily there is plenty of room for everything so it's only a matter of time before everything is in its place. and that will also be a very good thing. all of this dullness has not inspired me to really write much lately. by dull of course i mean everything is going well and i'm pretty satisfied overall with how things are. drama is always more blog-worthy. for now, i'm going to go watch pride and prejudice. 6 hour period BBC mini-series rock.
