Queen doing "Big Spender"

I love Freddie Mercury. SO MUCH.

Sorry I've been AWOL for awhile. Work is sapping my will to live. And while I come up with lots of stuff to blog about during the day, we have a strict "no blogging" policy at work. I can do everything else on the intarwebz (well, except stream music, but that's just 'cause it crashes the computers) except blog.

Except I just noticed that by having a paid account I can post by e-mail. So perhaps I'll start doing that next week.

A wrench has been thrown in my BRILLIANT wedding plans because some asshole at the county clerk's office seems to think that people who are ordained through the ULC aren't able to perform marriages in Michigan (or at least Ottawa county. "We certainly don't allow those in Ottawa county" are the exact words the dude on the phone said to me, in the most condescending tone I've heard in awhile). And I had a BRILLIANT idea to have my dad marry us. It'd be beautiful and sweet and people would be crying and I'd giggle at them, lol. Because that's the most important part of the wedding for me: I have to be entertained as well during this shindig. Hence our amazing processional music.

But in non-bogus wedding news, I'm finally going to be able to talk to our coordinator at the hotel tomorrow. Apparently her e-mail server hates me and hasn't been sending her messages to me. So I sent her an e-mail today that kinda hinted we were getting worried about the lack of communication (totally true) and might end up going elsewhere (totally untrue. We really like this place). So she called me this evening while I was at Billy's Borders and we're going to talk on the phone early tomorrow afternoon.

Speaking of Billy's Borders, OMGIT'S AMAZING. If you've seen anything in the news about the Concept Stores Borders is rolling out, Billy works at the first one. And I love it. The digital mix and burn center is where I got the CD I'm listening to now. I think I've pretty much completed my Queen collection at this point, at least of the songs I already know and love. But I need to ask Billy why I couldn't download the potentially amazing version of "The Show Must Go On" with Elton John. I couldn't ask him while I was at the store because HOLY CRAP was it packed tonight. They were holding an open house for all of us corporate people, and I think everyone in the office showed up (except for the women I hang out with, of course).

I think I'm out of useful thoughts to post. So I will leave with these: SAD FACE!!!!!!! OMG SQUEE and KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to continue to be a full time student in order to stay on insurance :-P That means tonight after work I need to pay off my bill to the school and sign up for two more bullshit classes. Also, I can't get a second job at the tutoring center like I'd been contemplating.

Suck suck suck.

Also for the past day there's been no internet at my apartment. The tech dude was supposed to show up between 9:30 and 12:30 today but...didn't. I called at 12:30, they said they'd get ahold of the technician and call to tell me when he'd be there...they didn't get back to me for almost another hour and then I had to book it to work. He was allegedly 10 minutes away then, so hopefully all is well.

Picked up my new Lybrel birth control last night. I am incredibly entertained by the container it's kept in. It's totally like a high tech PEZ dispenser, only giving you period-blockers rather than sugary candy. I have to admit, I kind of can't wait for my period (MY LAST ONE FOR AS LONG AS I CAN MANAGE IT!!!) just so I can try it out. Am not looking forward to remembering to take my pill everday, however. I think I'm going to take it at 8 at night or something, a time when I know I'll always be awake and not doing anything that can't afford me two minutes to take a pill.

Gotta admit; I'm a little nervous. I got on the patch just so I wouldn't have to remember to take a pill every day. But I'm gonna try this and see what happens. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Had my first class today, my senior seminar. We're gonna read Lolita! And a whooooooole bunch of theory, which is awesome to me since I'm a geek. The professor helps out in Lyceum (lit society) as well, so I already have an "in," lol. Had the requisite "Is Harry Potter literature" discussion this morning, and I was the only one willing to defend its place in the lit classroom. The professor is totally on my side ;-)

While wasting away without internet, Billy and I have gotten hooked on Lost. We really need to stop buying TV season box sets. We get obsessed (see: Monk, House and Battlestar Galactica). We're probably going to buy Season 2 on DVD tonight (...it's on DVD already, right? 'Cause didn't they just finish Season 3? I have no idea...) because we are that lame. Billy is also allegedly going to make dinner for me. We'll see how this goes...
