Well, I finished Deathly Hallows last night. I loved it! However, my thoughts aren't really coherent enough to really do a write up any justice at the moment. They tend to be scattered whenever I write about anything I've read.

Work is going well. Right now I'm trying to fend of the tedium that comes during the middle of the day. I was told, however, that people think I'm doing a good job posting, so that's always nice to hear!

The air conditioning was finally fixed today. Hopefully no more leaks. However, there's a possible mold issue that needs to be dealt with. *ker sigh*

I got my sunglasses yesterday! They look snazzy. Mom kept calling me "movie star" yesterday. She's still "patiently" waiting for hers. I said it's probably because she's getting transition lenses and the blended bifocals.

The most absurd (at least to me) thing happened to me today. I was listening to my Internet radio station like I usually do at work. Then I get this e-mail form this bigwig in the IT Dept. saying that I was violating protocol because I was listening to the radio. WTF?!?! Apparently listening to "streaming music stations" prevents the screen saver to activate. This is important because you have to have a password in order to deactivate the screen saver once it activates. The screen saver annoys me anyway because you have to type in your password and it's all a big hassle. They said non compliance would lead to "disciplinary action." Whatever. Big Brother is watching you again. And they made sure they stopped "surveillance" on me once I shut it down. Luckily I still had my iPod on me. *grumbles* What is this, a Fascist state?!

Anyway, this weekend was fairly uneventful. Saturday was spent running errands. It took longer than expected, so I didn't get to try to connect my camera to my laptop like I had wanted. I did cave and bought Deathly Hallows instead of waiting for it to come out in paperback. I decided I couldn't hold out any longer. I spent most of Sunday at a family get together reading it. I would've probably finished it by now if I didn't need to do things like, sleep or eat and the like.

I'll probably post my thoughts once I completely finish it, but I will say I giggled madly during a certain scene in Chapter Seven. *points to icon*

Annnnd I got my new glasses! My sunglasses weren't ready yet along with mom's, but my regular ones were!

Geek Chic!

If you squint, you might be able to see the reflection of my computer screen on the lenses.

I also just bought LotF Inferno today! However, any other reading is being set aside until I finish DH...

Today wasn't so bad, actually. I came across a few issues, but I was able to work through them.

And I discovered there's a community dedicated to guys with long hair. [livejournal.com profile] longhairedmen. I've actually considered joinin' since, even though I'm not a guy with long hair, I still like 'em. Earrings too. As long as they keep it clean and nicely trimmed. Nothing scraggly, thank yew!

I got FMA 14. I haven't read it yet, but something happens in it I'm not overly fond of, I'll tell ya that.

I have an eye doctor's appointment next Friday. I want to get contacts and possibly a new pair of glasses. The ones I have now are serviceable, but I think I want frames that are a little more... hip. Plus, perhaps a pair of prescription sunglasses.
