Darth Vader's Twitter is so much fun! :-)

Nothing much happened today. Mostly posting to let everyone know I'm still alive. The Red Tide hasn't claimed me as of yet. I just hope it doesn't come ashore when I'm at a friends wedding next weekend. Blargh!

At work I spent the majority of the day entering in Flu Clinic charges. Ahh, yes. The flu season is upon us... what fun. Eh, it kept me busy. I left at 5:00 even though I finished my work a few hours beforehand. So I'm not short by all that many hours.

Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to finally play the video game I bought a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I caved and bought The Force Unleashed. I know [livejournal.com profile] rurouni_jedi had mixed feelings regarding it, but it looks like it'd still be a lot of fun to play in the meantime. Besides, I look forward to swinging my "lightsaber" around. And, according to Amazon, you can buy an attachment that looks like a lightsaber for your Wii-mote.

And finally, for motivation to clean your house more often, read about the Collyer Brothers.

Today in History: 1933
"News-Week" appeared on the corner newsstand for the first time. Seven pictures graced the magazine’s first cover, depicting an important happening for each day of the week. In 1937, the publication’s masthead sported a new name: "Newsweek".

Getting off early is so nice! The only drawback would be not getting paid for it. As it is, my next paycheck will be a little slim, since I have two non-paid Holidays and three days of early releases. *sigh*

Mom is all vehicled again. Yay! She wants to got tomorrow and get some new floor mats so that the inside of "Hank" doesn't get dirty. Hank is the car, BTW. He's a 2002 Kia Sportage. He's pretty nice lil car. Bigger than her previous one and he even has a CD player! Nifty!

My tendon didn't bother me today, so that was nice. I think it helped that I was wearing slip-on shoes with no backs, so there was no rubbing involved (man, that sounded dirty).

I got paid today, so I'll have some money for when I meet up with Mona (as well as for other things). I went to the bank today and tried to deposit my check only to discover that it was in fact my pay stub. It seems my direct deposit has started... *facepalm*

I was surfing around in Wikipedia when I found an interesting article on my fave Saiyuki boy, Hakkai. It's pretty detailed, actually. Man, I could get lost in Wikipedia...

Trivia of the day: In many countries, it is the custom to wish friends a "Happy Birthday" on January 1st, rather than a "Happy New Year." This day is nicknamed "Everyman's Birthday," and is considered the day when everyone becomes a year older, whether it's their actual day of birth or not. Similarly, this practice is observed in horse racing. No matter when a race horse is born, they all "become" a year older on New Year's Day, although there are no records explaining how or why this came to be. <-- this is the last TOTD. Tune in next year for what's next!
