    I answered all my calls today, no offers to be in the omegathon, just bill collecters.

    There is only a week and half left until I see Eddie Izzard.
    There is only two weeks left until I go to Comic-Con.
    The Boyfriend constantly asks, "Is it the end of August yet?"
    I stare at my mobile when I should be scanning stupid documents.
    I break work rules and answer my mobile calls in hopes that one of the "Unknown Call" is THE Call.
    I NEED the bloody vacation.

    you may want to spoiler that signature. just keep the same thing, but put [ spoiler ] before it (minus the spaces) and [ / spoiler ] afterwards (again, minus the spaces). it's just courtesy, ya know?

    ... because the PAX countdown widgets are letting us know exactly how close it is! =);)

    Actually, is anyone using it that still has it on their desktop? Is it still accurate? I'm just curious if it's still working. I had Vista on a Virtual PC image to make that thing, and I think that I lost the image when I last formatted my system... so I have no way of knowing whether it still is functioning within expected parameters. ;)

    I feel like a kid who is forced to apologise for something that went wrong.

    So.

    I apologise. And thank you, Moe.

    Anywho! Back to what is at hand.

    Another thing I failed to mention...

    Waking up ten minutes earlier than I should inorder to check out this forum before getting ready to go to work.

    Man, why wasn't it in the mid 80s when I was there. I was chilly the whole 4th of july weekend, and then I got back here and it was mid-80s and I was sweating. Usually, I'm comfortable in the mid-80s.

    See, people adapt to it quickly :P

    Yesterday it was a high of 70 here, I wish it stayed like that (66-70 degrees with sun and a slight breeze) all summer, that would be excelent.

    not sure how it's programmed, but mine is always off, and it gets worse with time. i have the mac one, and i have to reinstall it every couple weeks to keep it semi accurate.

    This was mentioned earlier--but now with the Omeganauts now mostly announced...

    After I come home from work, the viewers used to be between five and ten.

    Now! Just like a minute ago, it was at 35 viewers.

    I'm too cheap (and female) to buy a utilikilt, so the other day I just started converting an old pair of jeans into a utiliskirt. It's taking a lot of repair work, so I'm hoping it'll be done by PAX. ;)

    Also, the fact that we're 6 weeks out is making my heart race. Eeeeeee so much to do before then!!!

    I didn't think I'd have to spell this out, but, they'll probably announce all of the Omeganauts and the Omegathon rounds on the front page on Monday. If not Monday, then some time next week. Then the forum will explode. Just as it has always been.
