Whee

Got to go home a bit early today, which was nice. I've been organizing my music files on my computer, getting album information and combining duplicate albums etc. Not too Exciting but its satisfying.

Works been... interesting. aside from the odd little situation coming up it's been the usual wonderful job, but some days just annoy me. Like...I am in there at 7am every morning, I'm the only one there for at least an hour and a half until the manager gets there. So i listen to my music. Lately Its been Michael Jackson. I go into phases where i will only listen to select things (artists, songs albums etc) and that's who its been lately (this started BEFORE he died. I've always loved MJ, its just a coincidence that he died while i was obsessing, or I killed him with my fandom, either way, I was listening before he died.) So ya, I had MJ playing (old disco songs) and the regional manager (who hangs around TOO much at our place) asked me to change the music when he came in because he was sick of MJ. Keep in mind, We dont have any TV here, and i dont listen to radio. any exposure I have to stuff is self inflicted, so I don't get sick of things that are flooding media (unless its the internet, but then I selectively browse etc).
It annoyed me HOW he asked me.
Anyways, I asked my manager if I could bring in mini speakers just for the time that I'm alone there (before the store opens) and she said it was okay. so thats what I'm going to be doing. If he comes in he can play whatever he wants over the store stereo, I'll have mine in the back.

Roar. I'm finding i regret very much not being MORE involved in my MJ fandom. I've always been a fan (sorta closetted but I never denied it) and so I had only a few songs actually on my mp3 players. I only owned one album before he died... now I regret not paying more attention while he was alive and seeing this stuff when it was new. Music videos I never had an interest in for most music, but his are just great and ... well.

Anyways.

Whats new?

I watched nightmare before christmas the other day. I missed it. I hadn't seen it in a while. I used to watch it every day. I must say, I'm not terribly impressed with the screenshots and promo images I've seen of 'Burtons Wonderland". I'm a big fan of Burton, but the CG just.... UG. It seems the Oposite of Burton really. I remember reading something about him saying that he believed that CG should be used as an assisting tool, and wasn't fond of CG, then he goes and makes one of those movies. Just... Ew. The part that struck me the most was the faces in the Roses in the screenshots. They seemed so generic and didnt have any burton charm. just faces on roses? c'mon he's more creative than that!

I'm dreading it to be honest.

I attempted painting last night and it was awful. I think I'll draw some tonight. I think we have 5 more discs of star trek to go through, HAHA.
