Bio. Shock. Two. And I lost my phone at some point today.
Worked 60 hrs last week. Worked the last few days with a bad head cold. Did my midnight launch for BS2 and Dante's Inferno. It was my first midnight launch as the new store manager of my location.
This is a BioShock 2 display I set up between the registers in my store. It's a 10 gallon fish tank with a Mr. Bubbles statue inside and it got tons of attention this past week.
Bed time.

Saguaros don't even start growing arms until they're at least 50 years old (sometimes not until the 100 yr mark). So I've decided to stop acting like it's the end of the world. I took this the other night during some free time.

I quit the bakery. I worked my last shift with the only person I liked there anyway and got to say goodbye to her. My bakery boss gave me a mom hug.
I've also been promoted at work and hugged goodbye my videogame boss.
It's been a weird week. I don't have any more words because I'm not even sure how I feel about all of this.

Wearing a retainer is weird business. I scheduled my surgery for Feb 16th. Turns out it's going to cost more than my braces.
Laughed myself to tears tonight. Laughed until my cheeks and tummy hurt and I couldn't see. I dropped my work keys down an elevator shaft. I was pretending to be Indiana Jones and doing a trick I had done earlier this week. It was successful and funny the first time. Tonight it was hilarious but my keys are now trapped under an elevator until further notice. It's really funny. I'm not the least bit upset. I'm too tired and everything is too funny.
My boss is gone and I'm captain for two weeks. One down one to go. Working 14 days straight is beginning to take her toll.

Got my top braces off yesterday and a retainer tomorrow. I should have the bottoms off soon, hopefully. It depends if they want them on or off for my surgery.

Drove around and took pictures the other night.
People used to always compliment my hair or clothes. Lately I only get compliments about how patient I am. "...Patience of a saint," they always say to me. I have mixed feelings. Is it a compliment? Or is it just the absence of the kinds of compliments I prefer?

So my picture of Capitol Hill is officially in the Schmap guide. You can check it out here. They have also requested to use a photo I took in Chicago this past autumn which can be seen here. I'm pretty excited.
I had a heart-shaped anniversary cookie made for Jason from the bakery. I'm still working part-time there. Anyway. They were nice enough to let me decorate it myself. It came out pretty cute. Anyway again. I went to take a picture of it and Bowie came up and took a huge bite out of it. The picture above is all that's left. It did say "H + J = 7!"

My resolution is simple but not easy. Just take more pictures. That's all. We'll see how long it lasts.

Avatar is as awesome as they say. I waited in line three hours to wear funny glasses and see it on a big screen.

My dog couldn't make it until after Christmas.
We put her to sleep yesterday. She died in our laps on the floor of the animal hospital while Christmas music played. She was buried in the mountains.
I feel far less likely to put up my Christmas tree now. I have a giant headache and want to sleep until 2010.
My house feels empty.

Hit up Savers with Sarah and Jason. She found some junk that was pretty appropriate. It's a fake-looking book called "More Ball than Most - the art of juggling." Inside are three balls for juggling. I bought a creepy owl for my owl collection.
Also saw the Rifftrax Christmas shorts at the movies.

Our older dog is being put to sleep after the holidays. Jason and I are pretty down.
In other news..
I woke up to an e-mail from an online tour guide directory map listing thingy named Schmap. They liked this picture I took in D.C. and asked for permission to use it in their 2010 publication. Yay! My name in bright lights, err links!!

Paycheck was larger than normal.
My initial reaction was to put a down payment on an almost-life-sized sarcophagus bookcase that I've been eyeballing since that Egyptian store moved into the mall a few months back.
Merry Christmas me.
Got the haircut but I'm kind of hating it. Shortest it's been since college. Since Jason actually. Pictures soon.

Have I mentioned I'm losing my hair? It's embarrassing and frustrating and I'm done crying about it. I think it's stress. Anyway. I'm probably going to get a shorter-than-usual haircut tomorrow. I was trying to hold out until we went back to NY so I could get another awesome haircut from the same woman who did it last time, but my hair has other plans.
Today is a pretty terrible day actually. Oh well. Today is over.

So tired.
Bakery from 9a-1p. Video game girl from 130p-930p. Every day is a long day. Falling asleep in my clothes and shoes with my glasses still on has become old hat. I wanted to go out and get drunk for a third night in a row but it's becoming expensive and nothing feels better than a cold pillowcase on my cheek.
Jason got me DJ hero for Christmas.
My Midwestern nephew and I have been exchanging homemade ransom notes via USPS. It's cute.

It's either get drunk or go to bed angry. And I hate going to bed angry.

Went to the Mesa LDS temple tonight to look at their Christmas lights. I'm not Mormon but their lights are awesome and it's open to the public. This was the first year that nobody tried to sell me their religion.
Got drunk last night at Applebees with friends and I remember very little.
I DO remember some teenage boys flirting with me and Sarah. I also remember making fun of a girl at Best Buy for being a dumb holiday hire girl. I asked if they carried fisheye lenses and she said, 'No, I think we only carry name brand."
I spent the rest of my day taking care of our older dog who can no longer walk at all. It's very sad.
