The Darjeeling Limited

I saw this with Yap and Arlene. Ok, so if you want the plot summary of this movie, IMDB pretty much summarized it better than I would be able to. I always usually go off tangents of the movie and forget where I left off.

"Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins."

So, I would like to begin with saying that I enjoyed this movie. The use of colors was really nice.
Character development, check. All I am saying is, it's a very idealistic way to look at a spiritual journey in another country. I feel like people tend to go to other countries to find the thing they lack spiritually. Like by going to another country this 'AHA!' moment will occur and forever be changed in perspective and life. That just doesn't happen. Rarely does this occur. Or maybe I am just cynical?

Day at the Office

So I have been putting in alot of hours at work this week, to say the least.

I have been getting delerious and producing things like:

This is my ode to what my team feels like this week.

And then a picture to make them feel better.

At least we still have our staplers and aren't stuck in the basement of the building:

But at the end of the day, this is what I feel like:

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed today's "Day at the Office"

Viva Las Vegas!

So....guess who I saw in Vegas during his last couple of hours of freedom???

Fall TV Shows

So I was listening to the radio and they were talking about their list of shows they were most looking forward to...

Here is mine:

1) Project Runway ( seriously, it's been too freakin long...)
2) The Office
3) Heroes
4) Lost

Ok, the TV show that I used to love watching is 24, I auf'd it because last season was terrible.

Anyways, I <3 Tim Gunn.

The Longest Day Ever

Tuesday 9/18/2007 was the longest day ever for me.

Monday, I decided to stay at Yap's because I was tired and didn't feel like driving all the way back up. So on Tuesday morning, I called Yap to ask which way I should go to get to work. He said taking the 92 would be the fastest.

So here I am, feeling great because I left early and everything. 7AM is when I started out!

I get past the terrible 238 and just got on to 880 when the dj on the radio got to the traffic.

"If you are heading towards the 92, don't! It's a terrible mess out there with 3 big rigs in an accident and west bound 92 completely closed..."

Sigh. So I can't get to work that way but I am already in a mess of cars on the 880. 15 minutes later (one exit later) I get off and get on to 880 going the other way.

I am trudging along because many other people had decided to do the same thing. All I know is 2.5 hours later, hungry, bleary-eyed, and cranky, I finally got to work.

Then, an hour later, the systems at work decides to crash, and in the midst of all that, we have a fire drill. So, my coworker and I decide to take an early lunch and go.

Right when we get back, the systems are up. But because of this delay and other problems I found in our project.....

I stayed at work until 9pm.

The longest day ever.

Sigh.

Mo' money mo' problems

So in addition to being haggard from work running me into the ground, I found out I am the victim of credit card fraud. I got two late payments because of the credit card company closing my account. Sigh, must call companies to fix all of these problems.

Tired. Sleepy. Looking forward to the three day weekend.

=P

it's been a long time....

So I know it's been a long time since I last posted and I don't really have time to write another at the moment. But here is something that brings me joy, hopefully it'll bring you some???


Until the next time, my friends....
