Question.
Am I right to be annoyed at paying $24 to renew my state ID card? I am pretty sure I didn't pay that much for the damn thing when I first got it. WTF. None of my information has even changed -- I'm basically paying $24 for a new picture and an updated expiration date. What a crock.
Also, the customer announcement system the DMV has might be the most monotonous thing I have ever heard in my life. A horde of Ben Steins hypnotizing me while pouring warm milk down my throat would not have made me want to fall asleep more.
My Week in Anime #50
Man, and I thought last week was abbreviated. This week I definitely watched the fewest episodes of anime since I started doing this last year. Balancing work, UNMEI KAIHEN and this is a tough task that I am still trying to figure out. Bu...Monster Mash
Monster post a day late because I am amazingly easy to distract.
Yesterday was election day, and I discovered the frustration of trying to work the word "incumbent" into single column headlines. (They are the bane of any copy editor's existence.) Almost got a Final Fantasy VI reference into the paper with the use of the word "returners" in a headline, but unfortunately the paper was sent off before we got complete election results, and using a word with such obvious implications (even if the incumbents were winning at the time) is not a good idea. Plus, I'll admit it sounded awkward. Oh well! It was late, and I was just trying to push stories through the chain of editing as quickly as I could.
Artists use lies to tell the truth.
I feel kind of weird being down to just two movies a week. I'm totally going to watch more, I swear. V for Vendetta (2006): It is about as good as a V for Ven...Well, then.
First strange happening at the office!
I arrived to work this afternoon and saw a couple of my co-workers standing outside the office, which is sort of strange but not completely unbelievable since we all arrive at around the same time. Then I get into the building and a bunch of people are standing around the door to the main office, including our weekend editor (the person in charge), so I was like, "... What the hell is going on?"
I stop for a bit and see one of our copy editors, Russ, with his hands steadying the shoulders of some woman I've never seen before, and it is quickly apparent that she is bombed out of her mind. Somehow she got into the building (might have followed someone else in) and fell asleep in the hall. I hesitate to say anything more about the whole thing, because I really do not know the circumstances at all -- aside from the fact that the police were informed, and the woman's husband came to pick her up -- so I will settle with saying that it was quite strange.
In other news, there is a ton of food in the break room for some reason. :O Back to work for me!
