>>> Every four years...

... a leap year, the Olympics and some random insanity.

HA!

09:15 : At work on a Casual Friday.
I'm sitting at work right now, on a casual Friday that just happens to be the extra day in a leap year, typing out this entry with Moby's album "Play" playing in my aural periphery. For those at home who have no idea what I'm talking about, I mean that I my iPod is on, my headphones are loose around my ears and it's playing one of that bald DJ's albums. So, lah-de-dujarah-dah. Anyways, yes, I'm currently not doing any work per se because, well, I simply haven't been assigned any. Yet. I can smell work about to descend on me pretty soon. Ack, so much for free time. Yeah, yeah, laugh at my misfortune after envying [your perceived view of] my state of slackness.

10:00 : Oh, mein Gott, work!?
Yeap, I have work alright, dead killer. Yeesh. Not so much buried as tedious. So much information transferance to do, so little time. *sigh* Oh, well, I will be back later.

14:41 : A late meal break and some forgetfullness...
Well, I'm back from a late lunch after working through the usual lunch hour. Amazing how time flies when one is having fun.

Yeah, right!

Anyways, I've almost completely forgot what I wanted to rant and rave about, but since I now have time since I don't have ANY work assignments to do and there is no way to use my initiative, well, let's just say that I have time to reflect and attempt to remember...

14:54 : Ranting about a damn weird Thursday...
Oh, yeah, Thursday really sucked to the core.

Well, not completely... there was the walk down to Bishan from downtown; the inadvertent waking up of Schakatze, spent a coupla hours at her place, subsequently led her family to believe that she now has an Indian-ish boyfriend - Oh. my. freaking. Gawd. -_-''' - and was used as a chew toy, foot massager/masseuse and foot/leg rest. *shrug* All part of the cost of maintaining relationships, natch. What? Did you think that friendships were free!? My god, how naive! Tsk, tsk. Even friendships and relationships have their own cost that just has to be paid. Anyways, I'm still ruddy itchy from the bites on my hands; amazing, non? *shakes head* What a life... good in some ways, bad in others, but isn't that what life is generally like? *shrug* Oh, wells...

And the interview yesterday with the MFA was so screwed up, I think I nearly lost my mind afterwards. Yes, I hate failure and embarassment with a hot passion rivalled only by Hell's furnaces. And that's how I felt when I walked out of the interview, like an absolutely wretched failure and embarassed beyond belief. At least in my mind, it felt that way. One month to find out whether I get the job or not. *shrug* Chnces are... nope, let's not jinx it, even if we [think] we know the end result.

Oh, i have two new pretty, pretty 10 sided dice. Cost me $5 at PI and not only that I managed to reserve a copy of the Second Edition EXALTED rulebook which I should be able to pick up on the 10th. W00t!

I also had the crazy idea of cosplaying a Haro by building a full body sized wireframe/cage and covering it with stretched cloth. Hey, even after it's been used, it can be used as an uber huge lampshade or a hanging lantern. Hahahahaha!

And Scha has managed to convince me to cosplay Bob Makihara from Tenjho Tenge. I told her to wait for me to get into shape first and for my hair to grow out 'coz I'm pretty keen on getting dreadlocks... meanwhile, I'm still contemplating 1) learning Japanese, Estonian, Spanish and/or French, 2) getting a 'fro and 3) who do I kill for these insane ideas. YEESH!

Well, that's the whole entry for this wonderfully out-of-place day that is the 29th of February. Fulfills my obligation to put something up. Oh, so much ado about nothing.

15:32 : ... And raving about a day that comes once every four years.
And speaking of a disjointed day, I pity the children that will be born today thanks to the stupidity of their parents believing that the children should be born on such a 'special' day.

Like, helloooooooo, people, wake up and smell the freakin' coffee! You're not doing them any favours. Jesus Christ, can you imagine having to wait four freakin' years to turn JUST A YEAR OLDER!? And can you imagine how frustrating it must be for a kid to NOT be getting any presents for nearly four years? And, c'mon, we all know that it's bullshit that people will buy the kid FOUR times the amount of presents for her birthday. I mean, c'mon, humanity is CHEAP. We all are, you, me and the whole friggin' kit and kaboodle. FOUR TIMES THE PRESENTS? No freaking way would any kid buy that shit, they aren't stupid you know. They're using PCs and watching porn by the age of 4, aiight? Ok, well maybe not the porn bit, but it comes pretty damn close. But then again, for a Feb 29th baby, he'd probably be called a genius coz he'd be using the comp' before he even turned one. Yeap, the whole your-birthday-only-comes-along-once-every-four-years deal. Freaking great, ain't it? C'mon people, don't make your kids suffer like that, it's psychologically damaging. Jeez, May and Jo, get it right: NO KIDS ON THE 29TH OF FEBRUARY!!!

Aaaah, I feel better now.

Well, I'm off to feel bored to death until my supes come back and dump work on my back again. But nothing I can't handle.

16:00 Laterz...
I'm done with this, I'm gone and nothing's left to be said or done.

For now.

Kurokaze out.
