the kangaroo communique --> back-up style!

Facebook is bad luck: my Internet died on me when I tried to check it earlier, and the connection has been wonky ever since. B|

Right~ should've updated yesterday (Customary Work Post!), but I got lazy. It was a pretty slow day at the office, though... the only real interesting thing I did was go around the South Triangle area and help my little brother take pictures of landmarks. Our brother Pio wants us to take an inventory of all the good places. "Lifestyle pictures", he calls them. It's a good way of advertising to our clients.

Lunch ended up becoming a meeting for the shareholders in the company (my Dad, and the aunts and uncles working with us + Pio), so Peter and I headed down as soon as we were able. Listening to them talk about wage hikes and company funds and stuff was another reminder on how hard it is to be good in this country. Renewed my hatred for ignorant rallyists all the more too. *pif*

Enough of that though. I GOT MY MONEYZ FROM THE BANK FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF WORK. AND I DOWNLOADED LOTS BECAUSE I BROUGHT THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE OVER TO LEECH THE BANDWIDTH AND I SUCCEEDED.

Pio played funky music through the day at work -- I only caught some bits and pieces of his playlist, though, since I tend to plug into my earphones when I'm doing my thing. Not too many updates went up for the actual webbie, but I DID get to upload a lot of stuff and start that online archive that I've been meaning to prepare to host the company's critical files. There will be a lot more to look at when I go back to work on Tuesday.

Hurhur. Wrist seems to be good for the most part, so I finally got off my bum and registered at the Rizon web client thing and rejoined the chatroom at #oofuri last night. ♥ I'll have to take it slow though, with the typing and the carrying. I still get these numb bouts and stuff. Makes me wonder if I should go back to the doctor and double check. Maybe get a scan or two also.

...If the wrist wasn't enough of a problem, there's this summer heat too. It's not good for the skin, or for the lips. =_= Been surviving with lip balm for nearly two months now, and it STILL dries up so easily.

Slept relatively early last night, and did Ateneo grad studies stuff in the morning. Ran into a friend on campus, chatted for a bit and generally enjoyed myself. I have to go back on Monday for the last recommendation letter; I'll be able to submit my application by then, if I'm lucky. Front desk people in the grad studies office are lousy though. >_> Srsly, there's no need to be bitchy or act so condescending, man. I mean, fuck, for all you and I know, I could be paying their damned bills by enrolling.

/off rant

Not doing much of anything at the moment... I just took a break from marathoning the first four episodes of Haibane Renmei, and now I think I'll try and get some writing done. I want to see if I can summarize all of Endtimes -- and I mean, ALL OF ENDTIMES, main story and prequels and sequels and extras and all -- over the summer. I want to make that my big project for the moment.

INTERNET PLZ TO BE BETTER KTHNXBAI. I HAS TORRENTS, YO.

On other news, I am currently reading Norwegian Wood whenever I'm not on the computer. I realize that I might be a Reiko.

You can take that as you will.

...And a final reminder for my children:

World of Darkness folk, the campaign is TOMORROW @ MY HOUSE. Be here by 11 AM at the LATEST, please!

THERE WAS AN EVIL BLACKOUT AND IT MADE ME GO TO THE OFFICE AND THERE WAS NO POWER THERE FOR A WHILE EITHER BUT IT WORKED OUT.

Capslock spazzing mostly because I gots paid for a day I wasn't even supposed to have. ♥ Got lots done though, so I suppose it's a fair trade-off. Everyone suddenly seems so interested in putting the website up. o_o

Spent some time geeking out with khursten over this function I accidentally discovered in y!m (I CAN HAS CURVY PRETTY QUOTATION MARK THINGIES THAR!), but then she went off for a loooong lunch and I spent the rest of my day tripping over some of the songs on my playlist and doing more web stuff. I tripped on the following tracks several ways to Sunday:

• Pink - I'm Not Dead
  
• Fall Out Boy - The Take Over, the Break's Over
  
• 30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill
  
• Ane Brun feat. Wendy McNeil - Such a Common Bird
  
• The Servant - Orchestra
  
• The Tea Party - Turn the Lamp Down Low
  
• A Perfect Circle - Weak and Powerless [the Underworld mix]
  

Note to self: make a music post for great leeching goodness sometime.

Oh, some of you will be amused to learn that Peter has a stalker. Like, one of our old clients keeps bringing her bug-eyed, fairly chubby, ugly granddaughter over to the office, and she keeps staring at Peter since he's working at the front desk. I ended up playing buffer and shield to him today because the girl apparently tried to talk to him.

Everyone at the office got a good laugh from it. Pio calls it "The Axe Effect". That commercial was accurate after all. *fufufu*

Went home to find the electricity back and my Dad bouncing along to some of the songs -- I gave him some music this weekend, and it apparently spurred him into downloading more. I told him about Peter's stalker. He laughed. A lot. Especially when my mom (and she said this in all seriousness) said that the girl appears to be mentally challenged. Now he keeps going on about how the girl's acting on "sheer instinct" like "a Black Widow spider!"

I'm supposed to have a meme up here (ficcintricity hit me with it), but I'm laaazy. B|

Sorry, kitsune_jade, I couldn't resist.

Until today, I was unaware of the fact that trolls on the Internet could ever get famous. THEN I found out about crawfordjeremy702000.

See this? He has an LJ community devoted to his attacks. Imagine: a fucking LJ community. How many people actually get something like that? o_O

I took the passage below from the comm's description.

The internet is full of many trolls, it's true, but few of them are quite as incomprehensibly bizarre as jeremycrawfordj2000. You might say that this community will only encourage him, but--believe me--he does just fine without any encouragement at all.

This community is here for the next zillion people who do a google blogsearch wondering who the !@#$%#^$@!$%! he is. Feel free to post amusing transcripts of him losing it at you, femslash of any characters he doesn't find hot, and Martha Kent/anyone who's NOT "a younger man".

Anyway, this guy. He apparently stalks fanfic writers online and bugs them to do fanfics for his pairings/fandoms. If they say no, he leaves them with messages like "Ok then WELL FUCK YOU LYING BITCH" or "GO TO HELL" and other endearing missives.

This actually makes me glad that I don't deal with idiots this bad. @_@

Anyway, life stuff. Did more webpage thingies at The Office. Second day of the bleeds, though, so I felt ill for about two hours after lunch. Still under the weather -- lying down for about 30 minutes after I got home helped, but tired is tired. Will probably sleep early tonight. Like, VERY early.

Oh. The laptop also had some sort of mini-breakdown after lunch. Like, I opened up a PDF file and the whole thing just froze. Had to restart twice because I got stuck on the blue "Windows is starting up..." screen the first time around. Thing seems to be running fine now, although the incident was like a kick in the gut. u_u Pammeth needs a new Alistair!PC and must reformat Aidan!Laptop, like, nao.

Quote of the day, courtesy of my brother Pio: "So apparently, when you get married, gaining 10 pounds after is part of the package."

DAILY POSTS ARE DAILY! :D :D :D

W00T.

IT IS A TUESDAY AND I AM POSTING!

BREAKING WEIRD ENTRY TREND = SUCCESSFUL!

*is shot*

Busy, busy day at the office -- that's not too surprising, though, given the fact that I haven't BEEN to the office in, like, two months. ~_~ Uploaded a bucket load of stuff (the Sales & Marketing page is in full swing, 'cept for the individual project sites), and I still have stuff to do when I go back on Thursday.

Peter is working as our front desk boy for this month and maybe longer. I'm glad he's there~ he's doing all the stuff that the old front desk lady never did for me. *coughs* NOW I HAVE SOMEONE TO ORDER AROUND FOR WEBBIE THINGS. I guess that's one of the perks of working in a family business -- being surrounded by, well, family.

THE GOAL: Don't miss a day of work this month. THE REWARD: 4,000 pesos (that's roughly 95 US dollars, I think). Measly, I know, but I could also be unemployed and not earning anything.

Half of me wants to relax tomorrow, but it turns out that mom wants me to do a second round with the doctors (endocrinologist and gynecologist this time); I also need to go to ADMU and ask for my transcript of records. And maybe drop off some recommendation letters with professors. So difficult, real life wa.

On other news, my house's fucked up electric grid has finally defeated my UPS; I spent a good fifteen minutes rewiring everything to a voltage regulator that'll take care of my gadgets until I find the time to buy a new one. AND THE HEAT. IT KILLS MY BRAIN STILL.
