thoughts from the heart

Well today at work started with a bang! But I fixed everything and now I have a little time. I updated the news on the site and started a new forum for registered users.

I have to send out three interviews for people today for the site. I also have to write up a couple of reviews. And the write up for the Dads and Grads competition!

I'm excited to play the new Pac Man for the 360. Hopefully the controls are good and it's in HD.

What else? I started watching anime again. I looooooooooooove magical girl anime. I'm not sure why. The cute factor just goes through the roof for me. ^_^

I'm excited for so you think you can dance two hours tonight! wooooooot! lol I did DDR last night and will do it again tonight. I'm also starting to lose weight! I've lost two pounds so far. Of course that also was probably water weight due to period. But I'll take it! lol

So much work to do! I love it! Busy busy busy busy~

We are also going to be hosting a Street Fighter II tournament through Xbox Live Arcade. It will be double elimination brackets where all Dad's and grads will be placed into a seperate raffle for a gaming basket. Look for that announcement this weekend. Also look for my video coverage of Star Wars Convention.

Have a great weekend everyone! What are you playing this weekend? I'll be playing Odin Sphere, Resistance, Pokemon, WoW and DDR for the 360. ^_^

I've recently lost some motivation to work. Luckily it has been quiet. I've been working on the website in between calls. I'm just so tired lately that I can't even focus.

Last night Matt and I worked out. Which is good. We are going to play Wii fitness and DDR for the 360 on days that we don't work out with the trainer. Hopefully that will spurn some calories burnt.

After the gym, I played WoW for a little bit. Actually finished one quest. Took me until midnight. I think that's why I'm so tired today.

Today I plan to go home, workout, and then play Odin Sphere. So you think you can dance is on tonight too. I hope we see the return of Hawk.

What do you do when you are totally bored with work? Yesterday I was so sick of people's complaints about getting to their doc or their pc. When 99% of the time it was human error. Not the pc. I'm going to start studying other things, but what do I do in the meantime? Matt says look for another job, but that's not easy when I don't really want to replace this job in IT for just another job in IT. IT bores the hell out of me. I want to work on my website full time, only ad money just isn't coming in. AUGH

I hate being bored. More than anything.

Oh and is there anyone I can comission to make me a 300 outfit? (the queen's outfit from the movie). I want it to be well done which means I can't make it. lol

This weekend was great. Matt and I found a few bedroom sets that we might be interested in. Great prices. We also found a couch we love, but the bedroom set is more important.

I actually got some gaming in, and some reading in! Not as much playing as I would like, but I also rested alot too.

I went to Star Wars Celebration on Sat with Shara. That was alot of fun. Long, but a lot of fun. We bought matching Star Wars jackets which are too cool for school.

What in the world was Sunday? Ah yes, Cajun Festival. I actually ate allegator. And crawfish are nasty. lol

Monday Matt and I did some shopping. Had yummy CA pizza Kitchen for lunch. yum. We also got our ring sizes. eeeeeeeeeeeee lol And matt didn't freak out. lol Matt tried on a platinum band that looked awesome on him. Then we got back and watched the Lot. I was disappointed in most of the shorts. I'm not sure this show will keep my interest.

But it was a great weekend because I got a lot of cuddle time with Matt. hehe And we took a breather from everything. It was nice to not feel like I HAD to work on the site. I actually wasn't online much at all this weekend.

I'm going to be going to the Playboy mansion for an event. I am on the hunt for the perfect cocktail dress. Any suggestions?

I'm contemplating a site re-design but we'll see. lol I just have to type up my content and edit my Star Wars footage.

I forgot to mention that I'm probably selling two more loli dresses and the baby bear I just got. If anyone is interested. I probably won't do the sales post until tomorrow or thursday.

Have a great day everyone!

I can't wait to go to Star Wars celebration. I am also way burned out at work. So far today I have done some things, but I've also uploaded all the news for today on the site, added a new item for our gadget blog, and sent out emails. Now I'm on LJ. I am just burned out and tired of running around. It doesn't help that my legs are so fricken sore.

Idol was okay. I still wish Melinda had won it. But oh well. I'm sure she'll get a job.

I might actually fall asleep at my desk. lol I've been here since 7:30 and I can't believe that it's only almost 11. It feels like it should be 1pm already. lol

Oh yeah, I started a gadget blog on GA: Gadget Angel. hehe I just wanted to add something cool to the site. Yes, it will take more time, but tech just seems to go hand in hand with games.

I picked up Odin Sphere last night. I probably won't get to start it until Friday, but I can't wait. I love Atlas games.

What else? Not much. I'm just scattered. I can't wait for tv tonight. hehe Hopefully my legs will stop being sore.

How was your weekend? Mine was too short as they always are. We started Lost Season 2. Also played Texas Hold Em, which I won. I also played some WoW. Got a girl killed because I couldn't swim underwater on my mac. It's a problem I always have on my mac. Then I played some Wii Bowling. Which is a lot of fun with three or more people.

On Friday night 1am, I blogged about the Blizzard announcement. That was cool.

What else.. didn't do much on Sat. Matt bought really expensive center speaker. With hopes to buy the rest of the set for his new cool system.

Sunday I went to my cousin's new mansion. It's $4 million house and it's beautiful. It has a great view and it's HUGE. Definitely really nice. Then we went to Sagebrush Cantina for lunch. It was nice hanging out with the family.

Tonight is the season finale of heroes!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! lol
And laundry. The highs and the lows. lol

I just bought two geeky tshirts. Yay! We'll have to see if they fit.

I got into the Playstation Home beta. So I'm going to download that and play around. I also just plan to game all night. ^_^

Last night I played Gears, Texas Hold em, and Wii bowling. I also updated the website and sent out a mailer at 4am. lol

Well I got a little bit of updating done on the site. Which is nice. There is still another review I want to put up before I send out an email blast. But at least in this blast I have something to give away too.

I'm waiting on a check from my Cousin and money from the sale of a loli dress. Basically waiting on a few hundred dollars. Hopefully I'll get both soon.

We didn't work out last night. Which I feel a bit guilty about, but we were just too tired. I need to figure out a way to get us more motivated about working out. It's just so hard to go and work out at 9 at night.

I am going to enter the Nintendo Film contest. I have about three ideas and going to go over them with matt tonight. The winner gets to attend the Short film festival in NY and of course their short gets shown there. I think it would be a great place for matt to network. So we'll see.

I want to buy some light summer clothes. But not yet. I'm not 100% better finanically yet. So in a couple of paychecks, I'll get there.

Otherwise, tonight I'll be working on the site, gaming, and relaxing.

Remember to download the interns game on Xbox Live arcade if you have a 360. It's free. ^_^

Good morning everyone! I fell asleep after watching 24 last night. While I was working on the website. lol

Heroes was awesome as usual.

I'm looking forward to Star Wars Celebration. I can't wait to take a pic with every stromtrooper there. hehe

Tonight is back to working out. Hopefully I won't be in too much pain after. I wish it was easy to be motivated to go to training sessions, but it's so late at night that I just want to work on the site instead. But I know I need to get my booty in there. lol

I am so very tired today. I am getting enough sleep but this weather makes me even more tired. lol

Anyway, have a great day!

Okay I don't get this,

A girl is missing. Which is horrible. Now J.K Rowling has contributed $3 Million to help the reward fund. Simon Cowell has promised $99,000. Which is great because that could contribute to the safe return of the girl.

But why is no one asking what the hell the parents were thinking? The girl is age 4, she has a brother and sister age 2. The parents left them all alone while they went to a restaurant to eat. Who leaves a 4 year old/2 year olds alone? Shouldn't the parents be charged for not being good parents? For being irresponsible.

Why all the help in money for this girl? Her parents were insanely neglegent. I hope the girl is found, but this is a very odd situation. And once again, it proves to me that certain people don't deserve to be parents.

ugh Starting to feel overwhelmed. Too much to do. Even if I stagger it out. *sigh* I have a ton of work to do on the site. I have a ton of work to do at work. I need to get back to the gym. I'm incredibly tired. I feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Mother's day was nice. My parents were late, but we had a great dinner at Bottle Inn. They restricted the menu which sucked, but otherwise it was fun.

I want to take a nap. lol

Oh well. Go home, nap, work on site, watch heroes, sleep, wake up and do it all again tomorrow.

Still sick. ugh Will this cold ever go away? I'm trying to work on the site, but kindof feel like shit. Just trying to drink water and get over this thing. Tomorrow is mother's day which is great. I can't wait to take my family to my favorite restaurant in the world.

Also going to try and stop by the Championship Gaming tryouts. The people that organize it are great.

I love life right now. Work is hectic and things are busy, but I'm alive, I have great friends, great boyfriend, and getting out of debt. Life is good. ^_^

I'm so sick. I hate being sick. Sucky. :(

This weekend flew by. Next weekend is yummy food with my mom. ^_^

I'm being short because I can't think.

I HATE emo peter parker. I think that was horrible. I hate all the emotional crap in Spiderman 3. Otherwise, it's worth seeing once. But it's not all that great. I love Bruce Campbell in it.

Let's see how long I can last on three hours of sleep.

But dang was it worth it. Met some amazing people last night.

Probably going to crash after my excel training today. I hope that goes well. I think I may have gotten too detailed? I don't know.

*sleeps*

OMG 7:30 in the morning is too early to be at work. But then again, it's been quiet and I was able to update the site with gaming news. So maybe this will work out. lol I'll just have to take a nap every afternoon. lol I can't believe I've done a bunch of work on the site and normally I would just be getting in.

Friday is going to suck though.

But I'm going to love Thursday night.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Workout went well. Got my ass kicked in arms. lol But working out hard to get my body all nice and healthy.

Love you all!

I am currently finding out the limits to my ability in IT. I have alot to learn with networking. Only I don't really want to spend the time in off hours to learn it. I just don't care enough. That's why I think it's great that they are bringing in a temp that is good at networking. Hopefully I can get his assistance in helping with stuff.

I should find out about my raise today. Hopefully.

What else? I have to do a training on Friday in Excel. Not sure when I'm going to get time to complete that.

Last night after work, I just played some arcade games on the 360. Matt was really bothered by the fact that I didn't play a "full" game, since I am behind a bit on my games. But it really was due to the fact that I was worn out and I just wanted something simple to play. Is that a bad thing? I played texas hold em, eets, and hexic. I see nothing wrong with that.

I love heroes. I'm starting to be bored with 24. I can't wait for American Idol tonight. lol

Must breathe. Tonight we have a workout session. Thankfully I can actually walk today.

This Saturday, I'm going to be a budweiser girl. lol Isn't that hilarious? lol

End of April already. Crazy. Sitting here working on my website while watching friends play NBA 2K6 on the 360. I did get some gaming in today. I played Trauma Center on the Wii. It's a rental I've been meaning to play for forever. So I played some Wii bowling and then decided to give it a go. I'll have my final impressions up on the site after I finish the game some time this week.

What am I doing up still? lol I have work tomorrow. And I have to be there on time. Which is a problem for me. I need like a get to work late card. lol

I have been looking into going back to school lately, but I then realized I don't know what I really want to do in life. I thought it was a career in IT, which I'm good at, but so bored. So I want to get my MBA but in what? I was thinking a double emphasis in Marketing and IT that way I could make a switch to marketing if I want to. But my heart isn't in it right now. Not to mention I have to take the GMAT. Which I'm scared to death of.

I want to work on the stie. I'm my happiest in the world when I'm talking to people in the video game industry, playing games, working on the site. If I had all the money in the world, that's what I would do full time. I would hire a staff and we'd go for it. It's just a dream, and possibly a show of immaturity, but what can I do? I feel like I live in a real version Office Space. Complete with red stapler. I felt amazing after seeing the women at the last WIGI (women in gaming international) event. It was so inspiring to see so many women in one room networking and being excited about the gaming industry. I was on cloud nine all day Friday and Saturday just because I felt so proud to meet such amazing women. I want every day to be like that. I want to be inspired. Be creative. I want to be pushed to my limits because I want to.

The theme this week: I'm going to pour my soul into the site. And let all the other shit just roll right off. ^_^

Have a happy monday everyone. Oh.. I'm building a Pokemon friends database. I better get back to work on that. hehe

edit: OMG it's one am and I'm working on the database and I'm not tired. SHIT. This is going to make work tough tomorrow.

Last night WIGI held an event and so many wonderful men and women showed up! I am so excited and full of energy from last night. It was so great to speak to everyone and hear how excited people were about meeting other people in the industry and people trying to get in. Love it!

Tonight is going to be alot of game playing. I've been super busy, so it's time to sloooow down. OMG we have to go to the star wars exhibit this weekend! AUGH! lol

I also have to get a smog check. :( bleh

Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Granted it's not even 10 yet, but I still feel more relaxed than I have all week. Also, I wore my hair down and everyone notices! lol Every single person in the office has commented. I guess I should wear it down more often. lol

Today I'm leaving work a bit early to go to a designer sale. I doubt I'll be able to actually buy anything, but we do get a free mini-spa and a free gift bag. hehe Then I'm off to the WIGI dinner. Which I might leave early to go work out because I didn't work out on Tuesday and I'm feeling like I have to get back to the gym.

Man, I got really hung up on code last night. I spent all night working on one module for my website. And I got really involved in it. It's still not totally solved, but I feel bad because I kindof ignored Matt all night because of that. It's just with work being so busy, I only have after work to work on the site. So that makes it difficult to find time to play games or do things with Matt. But I'll find a balance soon.

It doesn't look like I'll be able to sell the loli dress before I get it from Japan, but I'm thinking of keeping it. This one has shirring, so I know it will fit. Whereas my white Alice dress, I couldn't breathe in if I zipped it all the way up. So this might be a great substitute. I need to find a better petticoat though. But this way, I do have an outfit for every day of a con. It's really too bad that's the only time I wear them.

So much to do, so little time. lol
