Revolutions is Coming

So, Matrix Revolutions will be released in less than two weeks. I can't wait. I put a countdown over in the sidebar. I've been interested in the Matrix ARG that's been going on. I found out about it on the Matrix Essays site. It's pretty cool. One of the forums I've really been watching pertaining to this game can be found here. The people who come up with this are either waaaay gifted or have waaaay too much time on their hands (or both). I don't have time to try to solve any of the game, but it sure is interesting reading about what others have come up with.

Well, I'm off to bed. I have that final exam and the art show tomorrow. G'night.

It’s An Invasion

Current mood: bearmood — scared scared
My house is overrun with wasps. Marcus killed one when he got home from work that was up in our skylight. Now there are two more in the window. One is probably the b*tch that stung me earlier (I read online that wasps don't die after stinging like bees do--pity). I have a terrible feeling that they're coming in through the swamp cooler. I hope they didn't nest up there. Anyway, Marcus found some old wasp killer out in the shed and is about to try to kill them.

Update: Yay, the wasps are dead!!!

Can I Just Start Over?

Current mood: bearmood — angry frustrated
Can I get a redo for this day? I swear this day has been the biggest waste ever.

I got to school and the teacher reviewed for our final tomorrow for about a half hour and then let us go. We couldn't have done that Tuesday and then had the final today? Then I wouldn't have to go take it tomorrow. Oh, well. So, I had time to finish getting stuff ready to turn in for the art show that was due today. I would've done it sooner, but the show is so unorganized this year that every teacher tells you something different about how stuff is supposed to be presented. First I was told that the black paper mats they were in from class were fine. Then I was told I needed to mount them on foamcore. Well, it turned out that things were supposed to be in frames with wire hangers. Not sawtooth, not preformed hanging holes that are part of the frame--wire.

While I was home working on framing, I stepped on a wasp. It got me on the toe next to my big toe. The last time a wasp stung me, I had a really bad allergic reaction. Maybe she didn't get me good enough or my socks helped keep the sting from being worse, but I didn't have an allergic attack. It did hurt like hell, though. I swear it felt like someone had jabbed a really hot needle into my foot. Then my toe swelled up really huge. Later I started a fever and felt totally sick. I thought I was going to faint at work.

After I made dough, I was supposed to drive tonight. The stupid manager told me not to clock in--they weren't busy enough for me to drive. ARGH!!!! I only had two shifts this week anyway, and then this. This is getting so old. How about doing something to increase sales?
