Birthdays seem to happen in bunches. Especially at the bead factory. That's why on Sunday the 6th (exactly one month before my birthday) we celebrated the collecive birthdays of Melissa, Lindsay, and Sarah, and Lorenzo's, an overpriced but tasty Italian restaurant about a block from the Bead Factory.

Carrie went away to Chicago to preside over a bead show, leaving me all alone for like five complete days. Suck-fest, USA! Also, Karla of the store Ever After in downtown Tacoma (whose logo I designed) went away for the week, so I worked retail on Tuesday and Friday. It was actually really nice because the store is very, very slow this time of year, so each day I had like five hours where I had basically nothing to do. So I had time to think about some logistical stuff with one of my stories I'm writing. Stuff that had been bugging me for like a year. I now have it all figured out! Kickass!

Geoff recorded an "album." It's very, very funny. You should go to Sixty-Six Kiloherz Records and listen to the samples they have of it. The "band" is called Sh!t-Eating Pine Tree Heads.

I actually beat The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, by which I mean I BEAT it. I found every damned sunken treasure and peice of heart in the game. The only thing I didn't complete is the crazy Picto Box Gallery. If you know what I'm talking about, then good for you. If you don't, don't worry about it; just dismiss me as a nerd and we can all get back to our lives. Sorry I haven't written any more articles, but now with Zelda out of the way I can probably get back in the swing of things.

A:

I work in, uh, uh, training and, uh, I, uh, basically, uh, train, uh, on like computers as well as, uh, some, uh, job specific, uh, uh, types of, uh, work.

That's a pretty incompetent way to say "I train people on computers and other job-specific types of work."

QUICK! EVERYONE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CLICK HERE!
I swear I did not make this up, but it's the best news story I've ever seen.

On Oscar Sunday I went to Sarah's annual Oscar Party. Last year if you'll remember I got first place in the Oscar pool and took home about $75 dollars. This year? $10. Not quite as good. I got second place, but I think it was mostly because last year I won by such a huge margin that she had to change it to a point system. Instead of one category equals one point, the more imporant categories were worth more points. I didn't get very many of the important categories right, but I cleaned house on all the lower-point questions, so I might have wone if it weren't for the point system. Oh, and Carrie got 3rd place for $6 dollars even though she was in Detroit at the time presiding over a bead show there.

I wrote an Article about if I chose the Oscars, but in all fairness there were three movies last year that I wanted to see but never got the chance:
  • Frailty
  • Punch-Drunk Love
  • Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

    So if I had seen those, they might have also made my cut. But it's too late now, baby!

    Natalie Cruz came up from California to teach a couple of classes at the Bead Factory. Okay, all right, so she came up to spend the week with Neighbor Gary.

    I got The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and of course it kicks ass. But I expected as much. I'm not in the least bit disappointed. High-quality pookynoodle, that is. Unfortunately it makes it hard for me to do anything else, like work or fiddle around with this here website.

    I actually went to WrestleMania on the 30th. It was pretty darned spectacular. The seats were good, but I would have actually liked to have been up just a little bit higher so the people on the floor with their signs wouldn't get in the way quite as much. I'm planning on writing a big-ass Article on my experience there. Well, assuming I'm not too busy playing The Wind Waker.

    Here's the most convoluted sentance I've ever heard anybody say (pretend I just asked the guy if anyone was hurt):

    A:

    And, um, her, um, back, you know, was, you know, it's like, you know, she had, um, like a, you know, a backache and, um…

    That's a pretty incompetent way to say "She had a backache."
