crossover_chickSo it's a semi-early night (the appointment's at 10:30, so I'm going to bed around 1 to get up at about 9), which means lots of tumblr queuing. Fortunately I actually had a moment to draft my replies this time around, so I'm in good shape there, hoorah. Especially since Forgotten's replies have kind of exploded -- they actually have a tendency to do that on Fridays. Guess I'm not the only one catching up.
Moving on from that, it's birthday season -- first, Happy Birthday, George McFly! No, I'm not forgetting this year -- especially not with the 6th BTTF comic freshly out and about. Second, Happy Birthday Simon! Yeah, I went really simple with the party post this year -- I'm basically out of ideas for what they can give each other, so I'm probably going to just go with "hey they're here! [funny comment of some sort] Say hi!" from now on. I've been doing these things for years -- I think I'm allowed to finally get a little lazy.
Moving on from that, kind of a rough day at work -- I kept running into "wtf happened here" situations (mostly involving people being put in twice or people being confused with relatives). Very glad I have the weekend, even if I do have to have my teeth cleaned. I'm planning on following it up with a trip to the local bookstore to use my gift certificate to it -- need more Pratchett soon! I'm seriously thinking of taking a personal day for sanity reasons in a week or two -- April is one of two months that has no holidays (either state or religious) meaning a shortened week. June is the other, and that's when I'm hoping to finally take an official vacation (since you need lead-up time to request it and it's never seemed to be a good time before now). We'll see how things go, but yeah -- plan so far.
Moving on from that, favorite April Fools jokes of the day:
-->Lenovo sending me an e-mail about "Cat Tops" -- basically, computers for cats
-->devART introducing what is basically a pedometer for drawing (it measures your "strokes"), complete with "buy it now" button that runs away from your cursor and makes faces
-->tumblr doing an election between three lizards and what I believe is a salamander, complete with a special "election" version of the website with a tickertape at the bottom and fake news broadcasts. Candidate "Mop" ended up winning.
And now I need to move on to finishing my various replies -- night all!
