Instead of coal, Santa now gives bad children....flying sex snakes

I just know that tomorrow my writing teacher is going to ask us what we did over the weekend. My response last time was pretty mundane: "worked, goofed off on the computer". This time, I may have something to actually say out loud. So, Friday I, of course, worked, then met up with my friend Jerrad and went to our favorite barbecue place, Back Country BBQ, then went to Liquid Zoo for karaoke. I recorded him doing some songs and then we made everyone else either delighted or uncomfortable while we danced to other people singing Johnny Cash and Elvis songs. When I got home just after midnight (half hour drive back to Plano), my friend Nick texted me "are you awake?" I called him back and said "Fool, I just left Dallas! You couldn't have called half hour ago?" He said "Dude, when you're in Dallas on a Friday or Saturday night you should always text me!" Well, I did not know that!
Then he told me about a party he was having the next day. Now, on Saturday, before I worked, I picked up Jarred and we went to see Warm Bodies. This is an unusual zombie movie and I thought it was cute! Not like the Walking Dead or even Shawn of the Dead zombies. After work I headed over to the dorms to Nick's place where about ten people were idling around, watching "Anchorman" and goofing off. Sergio was cooking pork chops, so I had one with a tortilla. It wasn't a wild party, I had one drink and we all played Cards Against Humanity, kind of a local game which can be really fun. It's like Apples to Apples, but sleazier, more highly offensive  and more politically incorrect, hence the fun part. For example, the question being asked could be "What will always get you laid?" and the cards you have in your hand to  pick from could be: "date rape", "BATMAN!" "a deathray" "a Pterodadactyl egg" "72 virgins""GoGurt" "Ronald Regan". Which one do you think is the best, weirdest or funniest answer?

I had all my assignments done for classes today: Essay, journal entry, vocab words, reading, sketches, logos, illustrations for articles. Yay me! Now, we have more. Twice as much since we missed last week. No yay for me. Now, just for my Writing class I have: 4 reading assignments, 4 journal entries, one essay, begin steps for research paper. Okay, not too bad. Now comes my Concept Designs class: put together process binder for first two weeks assignments which include: three companies and 10 thumbnail sketches for logos for each one, 20 words on each one that describes said company, 5 pages of source logos (inspiration), final digital comps on each using (my favorite) Illustrator program (which I can only do at school since I don't have nor can afford Adobe CS6), also begin complex logo designs for three new companies with ten thumbnail sketches for each one, 20 new words for each one, 5 more pages of source logos, final pencil composition for the illustration on an article from last week, 3 final digital comps of first three company logos....E-I-E-I-O  and Bingo was his name-o.
Granted, my school work is not difficult, at all, there's just a lot of it. And I still have to go to work, still want to see that movie "Warm Bodies" and still have to finish my Roman brag book for Typography this week and I'm on Skype with my bookclub on Sunday.
I think I missed something, but I'm sure I'll realize as soon as I'm about twenty miles away from where I can do anything about it.

just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming....

it's Sunday...we ride!

I hardly ever talk about what happens at work unless someone is complaining about not being able to use their coupons because everything they got was on sale. That still irks me, you know?
So today, I show up and I'm the only cashier there. I was informed I was going to be the only cashier there for another two hours. I'm okay with that, it just means I couldn't take my break and I really like my break because I usually eat then even though I only have 15 minutes. Yes, I eat before I leave the house, but if you know me, you know I eat often. There I am, doing fine at first, just some vacuuming, refolding some blankets and filing some tax exempt forms. Then, I guess church let out because everyone showed up at once and wanted to use their coupons on their sale items. I had about ten people or so in line, with the phone ringing and other customers standing at the door asking where various things were located in the store. The piece "The Ride of the Valkyries" kept going through my head, but I got some help from a manager and a stock person and everything was cool....for about 20 minutes when the wave started again. Finally some relief showed up and I got to eat my penne pasta with basil creme sauce and life was good again.
