Dark secret you didn't need to know about me #223
I'm a sucker for 80's opera rock.
Oh yeah. Look on my iPod and you'll find the Streets of Fire soundtrack both highly rated and played often.
She probably doesn't read this anymore, but I'd like to think that somewhere, Amy is smiling.

Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass. --Jules, Pulp Fiction
Xmas time usually puts me in pretty good spirits. I really love this time of year in general, but there's something about the Holidays that just gets me more in an "up" mood. So much so that dealing with your usual idiots and morons is made a little easier.
See, I really do want to help my customers. If I don't, then I don't stay in business. I like helping customers with just about anything, even if it's finding something at another store. One, I get off on helping people. Two, it's good for business.
But why, tell me why people have to come to me with attitude? It's not like I'm asking for people to kiss my ass, just to be civil when talking to me about their question, issue or problem.
Lately it's not even the customers, it's the people in the Georgia office that are just fecking clueless. Not only are they clueless, but they have attitude. They tend to talk to me like you think someone would talk to a dog.
I've worked long enough and hard enough at my job that I'm pretty possessive about it. I've brought a lot to the company, I like what I do and I've been through far too much there to be dumped on by some new people.
I'm getting a little fed up with it all, and I'm firmly fixated on the 22nd. when I'll be on my winter break for about a week.

OK, this creeps me out just a little
Watching the news this morning, I saw a "Merry Xmas" commerical from a local funeral home.
Um...

I know I'll probably sound likea whiny fanboy...
...but good God damn I miss my PowerBook.
SO much of my life was wrapped up in that machine. For it to just give it up like it did...more than just disruptive.
The recovery tools I ordered have yet to arrive, so I still don't know how much of my data will be recoverable. I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best at this point.

Probably tasteless of me, I know
But upon hearing about this story, the first thing that came to my mind was, "This is why you don't fuck with Chicago PD".
I mean, they used snipers to take this guy out in an active hostage situation. This sort of thing only really happens in the movies, you just don't see it happen in real life.
Seems that Chicago PD was sending a message as much as they were resolving a situation.

OK, OK...last Studio 60 post...
I watched the "Xmas Episode" last night...it were not all that bad.
There were little bits in there that really felt like West Wing moments. Patter, character...they were there.
I think that's part of what's been detracting from my enjoyment of the show...it's direct relationship and similarity to West Wing. Maybe they should have found some different cast members, maybe they actors need to learn a different delivery...dunno.
But I enjoyed it...sort of.
Yet again the biggest annoying point, and the point that continues to puzzle me is the Harriet Hayes character. I don't find her at all to be the character they're trying to push her as...and it's not the character...it's the actress. The talentless, one-expression, one-dimentional actress who needs to be told she is not as talented as her character is supposed to be. She actually needs to do something.
But who am I kidding...the character is a clear "homage" to Christian Chenoweth, who was pretty talentless when she was on WW, so I guess I shouldn't expect anything different for her fictionalized version.
But geeze...every time I see Sarah shot with soft light or through gauze, I have the burning image of Sorkin dry-humping a set piece.

Snow Day
About 6" thus far, with about another 10"-12" to come this morning. Jo and the kids get a snow day.
My drive into the shop should be...interesting.
