[01:21] Stacy: Is it sad that a refrigerator commercial that shows them demolishing their old refrigerators says “Do Not Attempt” on the bottom of the screen?
[01:21] Stacy: It almost makes me weep for my generation
[01:21] Ang: Awww
[01:21] Ang: lol
[01:21] Ang: I read that wrong
[01:21] Ang: hence the “awww”
[01:21] Ang: I thought them demolishing refrigerators made you weep

I’ve taken a “mental health” weekend from WoW because I’ve been a bit of an emotional mess the past few days. The stress of it all is getting to me (not just WoW, obviously) and I needed some time to recharge and recover, so I talked to a few friends and took the weekend to relax. Of course, true to form I had a bit of a spaz attack tonight, but Stacy cheered me up, as she usually does:

[22:11] Stacy: MY NAME IS ANGELA! AND I AM FUCKING AMAZING UBERLEETSUPER SAUCE
[22:11] Stacy: so sayeth Stacy

I’m going in Monday for my passport. I had quite the adventure today when, thanks to my procrastination, I went in late to get my photos. I get to Superstore, tell them I need passport photos - but American ones, and the girl says “We don’t do American passport photos here; our camera doesn’t take a photo small enough for that.” Wait, what? I freaked out. It’s Saturday, my appointment is Monday, and you can’t get a passport without a photo. So instead of going to the gym, I hop in the car, drive over to the nearest Walmart and cross my fingers walking into the building. I walk down the front of the store, where I see customer service, the bathrooms, vision centre, and McDonalds. I say again: wait, what? Commence freak-out number two. I start to walk out the door when, thank goodness, the sign enters my peripheral vision and I sigh a huge sign of relief: Photo Studio. Of course, here’s the real test… do they do American passport photos? The girl answers back “Yep, the only ones we can’t do are British passports!” Cue the Hallelujah Chorus and angels with trumpets and sparkly things everywhere. THEY CAN TAKE MY PHOTO! Of course, the photo is terrible but really, function over fashion, people - I got it done! I head back to the gym, where I do a fairly small but rather tiring workout, and then go on home to barbecue some steak and veggies and spend the evening at home.

Obviously, it’s a great deal to a woman’s heart, too. Including my own.

I need to vent. After this morning, I had a rough day. The middle wasn’t so bad. After I got my laundry out of the dryer (still wet, mind you, because our apartment complex is cheap and won’t get good dryers) and took forever to fold it, I had a rather good day. I did some PvP with my guildmates (friends), I watched two episodes of House with Matt, ate a yummy dinner, started a new neighbourhood in The Sims 2… The day was going good.

Then… I started raiding. I’m in Hyjal tonight, which isn’t very shadowpriest-friendly to begin with. But my computer went berserk and I’ve died on both bosses we’ve killed so far, I’m way far down on the meters (yes, damage meters - they’re not everything but it’s a good judge of if I’m pulling my weight) and I’m generally feeling like tonight, raiding sucks. Oh, and one of my headphones is shorting out again and making freaky noises and not working. Why can headphones not last for me? I take good care of them. They’re always put away and in a safe spot. So why do they die?

Also, tomorrow I’m restarting this “diet” and “exercise” thing. I am so tired of shooting myself in the foot every time I start doing well. It just gets so tiring after a while that I want to give up. I just want to be happy, you know? I want to be content with myself.

* Quote from Francesco Guicciardini

Like I said in my last entry, I’ve been watching Sex and the City all day. I love this show! Anyway, I find it terribly amusing that in Season 5, Episode 1 (Anchors Away), you can see Chandra Wilson from Grey’s Anatomy as a police officer.

And just to enforce why I love these two shows oh so much, here is one quote from each of them. Just because I can.

Sex and the City

Carrie: “Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”

Grey’s Anatomy

Callie: Uh, you know those cartoons where there’s a bear or whatever and it’s starving? And it looks at a table and the table turns into this delicious cooked turkey with, like, lines of deliciousness coming off it…
Addison: I was not looking at him like that, because he is the help, and I am not going to be sleeping with the help.
Callie: I married the help.
Addison: What?
Callie: We went to Vegas. My idea. I embrace the trashy.
Addison: That’s — not that I’m not happy for you. But why - married - so fast?
Callie: You know those cartoons where there’s a bear, and it’s starving, and it looks at a cute intern…
Addison: Well, congratulations.
Callie: Thank you.
