So today was cool, I had a Birthday Party at work, which is all I'll talk about since the rest of my day was mostly boring (despite selling books at the library).
So there were cupcakes, a shit load of people came, I had dinosaur birthday candles (not on purpose which makes it better), a lot more people than expected, I got lots of cash, I got to keep a cake, and cupcakes, there was wine, it was awesome, but now I have to go buy drinks before ye olde shabbath, PEACE!

Crazy Thursday
So still getting used to this day-after method of posting, but hey it's working.
So Thursday was a little bit crazy, but in a good way I suppose. Work itself was work, and it wasn't exciting, still worked on the application for grants.
After work I headed home and read some comics, fixed some grilled cheese with tomato, then played pool with Oren for a little while. I was a twop minutes late but he already got a table and a drink and was shooting so I passed on the drink and then got thirsty but didn't want to go downstairs, whatever. Then we went to meet Trez at the circus and saw a trapeze, acrobatics, thing, that was pretty cool. There were people doing crazy ass shit on a pretend boat, and it was also pretty funny in the beginning and end. Then we went off once more, and checked out this sound exhibit, that had some cool stuff. My favorite was room with three walls that were screens, and it had three cameras , the cameras recorded, and then played the recording at 30 second intervals, so it was kinda like a round, which is why I suggested singing row row row your boat, but Oren didn't grasp the concept of a round so didn't get it. Still it was cool, and we chilled with the dude who designed it. Then we headed over to the Fringe bar for some drinks, and to see Sarah selling raffle tickets for the Fringe's Chit-Chat lounge, which is essentially a talkshow about the Fringe bar. It was really funny, the host was American and hillarious, they did a bit where the audience shouted out random stuff and they had three drunk dudes writing jokes about them, so you can imagine how that turned out. Then they had a thing where people would send in texts to the host with funny slogans for the sponsor, Chit-Chats which are a New Zealand cookie, or "Biscuit." The strangest part was this one guest who was talking about his one-man-show, and he randomly just took his shirt off. Then the host, and the band took their shirts off, then he celo-taped his nose and face, and it just got stranger from there. Then it was late so I went home and to bed.
Oh also exciting news, I finished the outline for the first arc of the comic I'm writing for ScriptFrenzy which should be well over 100 pages of script.

A Prettu Boring Day
Wednesday was boring, there's really nothing else to say about it. I watched an episode of Chuck, and at work slacked off most of the time because funding applications make my soul hurt. I got new comics, a lot came out this week and it put me back more than I would like to admit. Still I love them so it doesn't matter. I also returned some comics I got from the library and ended up taking out six more trades, including Extremis which I'd been meaning to read for a while now also picked up some Fables for Oren, and one or two other titles. Lately though I have been reading a Bendis's run on Daredevil. Talia has the second hardcover of his run, so I was familiar with the background, and am now going through it and it's absolutely fantastic. It's Bendis though, so that's kind of expected at this point, I mean he writes great superhero comics, and I also enjoy just how over-the-top Jewish the whole thing is. For example when this one dude is about to be killed by Kingpin he realizes he's dead so starts talking shit to him and finishes with "L'chaim asshole" and then gets shot in the face. So yeah that was pretty much my day, also played some Zelda on my emulator which was fun, but all in all pretty quiet on the Western Front.

Sort of on time (let's not push it folks)
So new blog, about Tuesday. See I decided to do a post about the day on the next one during work, as I find myself rarely having the time or energy to do so at the apartment.
So Tuesday, big things afoot. At the office I was working on getting funding for some poetry books. It's pretty boring work, but on the same token if any of them are approved it's a pretty awesome thing to put on my resume "... is so awesome people trust his word with thousands of dollars" nice.
So after work I bought some groceries and got a phone call (at like the worst time possible) from Angela saying that Zach was moving out of the flat for several reasons (including not getting along with me, cause I'm such a huge asshole apparently) and asking if I could be there. Since it sounded important I said yes, even though I had already made two sets of plans for that evening and was already juggling, pool night, and an improv show loosely based on Harry Potter. But what could I do? So I went home and chillaxed for a bit, made myself a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich (with fresh tomatoes that were fucking amazing). Zach returned, then Angela, and it turned out I didn't actually have to be there at all, thank you Angela. So I hitched a ride with her, and made my way to the theater where the improv thing was happening. It was really funny, though half the show was deeply entrenched in New Zealand politics of which I know even less of than American politics, which I mostly don't give a crap about. Still I laughed, I cried I suggested a character have a crippling addiction to bunny rabbits, which they used and was quite amusing. Then the rest of the night was pretty chill, had a dart gun duel with Oren,read some Daredevil I picked up at the library, went to sleep. So yeah some big changes, don't know if/when we get a new roommate, hope if we do he's cool, if not, I'm only here for 20 days max fewer if I leave early to do travel stuff, which I really don't know if I want to.
