so the museum isn't doing so hot, and they've asked people to volunteer to resign. they'll get a pretty sweet severance package and whatnot, and today was the last day to do it. everything was calm till about after lunch, then BAM! everyone is resigning left and right. i'm suprised anyone is staying... i'd totally have taken the package and gotten a job elsewhere. unfortunately, since i'm just a peon (pee-on) and i get no benifits of any kind it wasn't an option. but then, i'd say being able to play metal slug at work is a benifit all in itself.

there is nothing sadder in this world that getting home and not having any friendly words to read before going to bed. actually, there are a lot sadder things, that's stupid. but it still is some degree of sad. i did have a tee shirt waiting for me from this guy that wanted to trade, which was rad. it's actually pretty nicely done. i keep typing like 4 sentences, then erasing them all and starting over. i think this entry sucks, and i hereby disown it.

yet another demoralizing loss tonight...it was worse than usual because we brought what we thought was our A game, and yet, we couldn't even break the top 5. makes me kinda want to get another hobby, like huffing or speedballs. anywayz, i got 2 bonus round questions tonight, both on my own knowledge, but even that knowledge can't fill the gaping hole of suck that this loss brought on. i guess the only thing to do from here is cut of pinky fingers yakuza style and light a candle at mass to the patron saint of trivia, alex trebek.

this has been the first 40 hour work week (actually, the second, last week was one too) i've worked since...well, since i quit moma, so a year and a half ago. it's pretty crappy. changing lights is boring but not horrible. i broke our first light last night at the end of the night...we had made it through probably 2500 bulbs before i dropped it. and today i'm here at the museum, reading about snails (did you know they eat with a radula? and messing up stupidly easy questions from "are you smarter than a fifth grader" (what is the only country that is also a continent? i couldn't think of the right answer, mostly because i've always been taught that the "continent" of australia was named oceania and included new zealand and micronesia). so pretty much i'm an idiot. oh, and i'm also applying to the renegade craft fair for this summer. i already submitted my application, i'll hear back by april 6th apparently. hopefully i get in, it's a good excuse to go hang with the NYC homies this summer.

so i started this part-time short-term job last night. i'm changing light bulbs in this office building up by flatirons crossing. it's exactly as exciting as it sounds. we work from 4-12:30pm normally. last night we actually worked from about 6 till 10:45, and we changed roughly 240 bulbs in that timespan, which is actually less than an eighth of a floors worth. i told my brother before we started that i believed i was prepared for anything bad that might happen while we were working in that office building, as i have seen die hard no less than 4 times, and i know as long as i keep my shoes on i should be fine.

anyway, hopefully i'll be able to work tues-weds-thurs only, because i have my other job on fridays, and monday night is off limits.

BAM! fluffy kittens back in top form this week, and i almost forgot to brag about it here. the competition was so fiece, we thought we were in 4th place right up until they announced that we won. as much as i'd like to think that it was primarily my disturbingly vast knowledge of video game music, i have to admit britts dude (i forgot already..mike? matt? one of those names) was a big asset. also, i hope we NEVER have to sit all the way in the back again...i had 3 of those bonus round questions nailed, only to have them stolen because it takes forever to run up from there. lame. next week i'm showing up at 3 to get that cushy table up front.

anyway, that win puts us tied for first with el fantismo in for the monthly prize of a snowboard (!.

also, if you missed it, here's my ode to our victory.

if anyone really loves me, buy me this record. the cover art is AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG.

so trivia night last night wasn't as dissapointing as usual. we pretty much cleaned up on the first 5 rounds, tanked the 6th, then rocked the 7th and 8th. one of the questions was about naming the two sports cars put out by chevy, which the quiz dude (who wasn't our normal rocking guy) went on to falsely clarify as CURRENTLY PRODUCED. the guy brittany was with (sorry guy, forgot your name) went on to challenge the question at the end, and it apparently bumped us from 4th to tied for 2nd with my sibling rivalry of a team, lumpy lady stumps. but el fantismo...sigh. i hate them like i hate a dog.

i had a dream last night that has sparked a whole train of thoughts today. i had a dream that i was supposed to go to some show here in denver, but i told whoever i was supposed to go with that i wanted to draw instead.

today, i've been at work all day, being bored, so i've been thinking...why aren't there events where people get together and draw? everyone could come, and bring anything they want to use to draw, or there could be newspring and markers and inks and pencils and stuff, and everyone gets a spot on the floor and draws? i think i'd enjoy it a lot. everyone likes to draw something, it seems...
