It's sorta nice having Jonathan living with us again. He fixed the volume controls on the computer. Although he has doubled the amount of dishes we have to do. And mom can't do dishes 'till he wakes up at 8:00 'cause our kitchen sink makes an odd high pitched noise that wakes him up.

My sore throat has gotten a bit better, but now I'm starting to cough. Methinks I'm getting a cold.

We got all of seven trick-or-treaters last night. Oh well, more candy for me. ^___^

I've also had a very bad sore throat all day today. I drank nearly a quart of milk since dinner. I normally don't drink any milk, but it's the only thing that makes my throat feel better.

Instead of working on important portfolio type artwork this afternoon, I drew that *points up*. Yes that's Duo in a Relina costume. He's also got little scythes on his pillowcase. Wufei's supposed to be dressed up like his gundam, but that didn't come out too well.

Don't you just love beggar's night? It's the only night in which people in masks can go door to door with pillowcases demanding things without getting arrested. Too bad I can't go trick-or-treating this year. ;_;

*FFVII SPOILERS*

to go on a date with you. While it's usually Aeris, it's been
confirmed that you can go on a date with Tifa instead, if you were nice
to her and mean to Aeris throughout the course of the game. It's much
harder to do, but if you have had Yuffie in your party for a while, she
may wish to date Cloud as well. If you're really mean to all the women
in your party, Barret will date you (so be nice!) It's not what you
think--just a friendly outing (he had a wife, so what are you thinking ^_^;)

*cracks up*

Yes I'm a bad geek who reads FFVII walk throughs. . . how else would I know that you could make Cloud and Barret date?

I thought I was getting a temporary blind spot that would lead into a migrane, but it's gone now and my head doesn't hurt. *shrugs*

I'm reading through corecom's FAQ. Apparently it may be my modem that's causing(or at least contributing to) the disconnections. It says that HSP modems are more likely to disconnect then some other types of modems. I have a HSP56 Micro Modem. -_-

*Cowboy Bebop and Indiana Jones SPOILERS*

Yes the rib grab thing looked quite painfull. It reminded me of Indiana and the Temple of Doom(I think that's the title, it's the second movie). I sorta expected Vincent to start chanting and try to rip out Spike's heart.

*END SPOILERS*

I'm glad you had fun at animefest.

-_-#### I've been dailing for the last 20 min. just to publish this post. I can't even connect long enough to email a complaint to corecom. --__--###

One of the volunteers at cosi managed to piss me off a bit today. Our current traveling exhibit is Science of Sport, there are two activities in Science of Sport which require constant supervision. One is the track and the other is tennis. I was schedualed to work at the track for a half hour then a half hour at tennis then the track again and back to tennis then I was supposed to go up to our other traveling exhibit wise about eyes.

The first hour at track/tennis went fine. The volunteers who were supposed to replace me came on time. The second half hour at the track however no one came to replace me. I looked on the D-POP(schedual) to see who was supposed to replace me. I looked over at tennis to see if it was simply unmanned and what did I see? My replacement was at tennis. I didn't want to stay at track anylonger then I needed to. It's just not particularly interesting work, tennis isn't much better but at least it's a change. I couldn't walk over to tennis to talk to him 'cause there was a line of people at the track, and I couldn't just let them wait. My supervisor Scott eventually came over and said he'd take over track for a while since I was supposed to be at tennis and had been at track for over a half hour. This volunteer(who will remain nameless) tried to argue that it didn't really matter where he was, but he went over to the track anyway.

A half hour passes, I'm supposed to go to wise about eyes now. No replacement shows up. I look at the D-POP, what do you? The same person's supposed to replace me. I looked at the track, he wasn't there. About ten minutes later Dave(another supervisor) comes over to ask me if I know how to wash the 3-D glasses. I told him I did and asked him if he knew where this volunteer was. Apparently he had gone up to Space(another exhibit in cosi, not outer space although his head certainly seemed like it was in outer space. . .). Dave went up to space and sent him down to Sport. When he arrived (15 min. late to a 30 min. shift) all he said was 'oops'. He didn't even try to appologise or make an excuse. because of him I was nearly 20 min. late getting to wise about eyes. Scott was in Eyes when I got there (there's usually only one person in Eyes and he left after I got there, so I guess he was covering for me again). I didn't get in trouble or anything, but I was still rather upset by it all.

The halloween party was fun. Although one girl picked up a candle (which my father unwisely lit before people arrived) and spilled red wax on the off white carpet. Claman became rather oddly obbessed with getting the wax out, and he did get most of it out, there's still a pink spot that's in the shape of a question mark. My dad hardly ever goes into the living room where the wax was spilled though, so it may be a long time 'till he notices. I learned that Coke-cola can be used as a cleaning substance. Claman said coke would get the wax out, but the problem would then be getting the coke out of the light colored carpet. But if it were dark carpet it would have worked.

You should expect megs to bring you a pumpkin on monday. And look, it's Vike(pronounced "Vei-ku") the child of Spike and Vicious! It's sorta traditional for my friends and I to paint a pumpkin that looks like a child of two anime guys (never mind the fact that it's physically impossible for two men to have a child). Last year we made Deero the child of Heero and Duo.
