Work is having this “Scool-spirit” like event all week. We’re being asked to come in dressed as different things. For example, Today was PJ day so people were allowed to come in wearing their pajamas. I didn’t wear pajamas, however I did wear my doggie slippers.

Tomorrow is Sci-Fi day, so I did what I HAD to do,…

I set out to work on the Asshole (Spaceballs Character) costume I began a few weeks ago. First of all , I had finished cutting out the helmet, but it needed to be repaired, and finished. I picked up some BONDO and went to work fixing the cracked part of the helmet. I sanded everything down and gave it a coat of primer…

I then headed out to work on the costume. It was no easy task. I went to a few hardware and crafts stores and tried to find a white jumpsuit. The closest thing I could find was a “disposable” painter’s jumpsuit. It’s one piece, all white, and zippers down the front. It’s not 100% authentic, but close enough. I figure it will do. I also picked up a belt and a black turtle-neck shirt from Sears…

I headed back home to finish the helmet. I gave it a coat of white paint and glued a head-piece in. I don’t even know if it’s lined up right, but we’ll find out tomorrow morning when I put it on. If all goes well, I’ll be an asshole at work tomorrow 🙂

This whole costume is getting rather expensive.

$35 at the hardware store
$60 at Sears
$5 at a crafts/hobby shop
$10 at a paint supply shop
TOTAL: $110 today alone

This isn’t counting the $35 for the lamp I used to make the helmet or the $20 in tools I bought to cut out the face of the helmet

I’ve still got a lot to do to truly complete the costume, but for now it’s usable 🙂

Just in and I can play with my new ROMS. This morning, I woke up to find my 10 GB download of MAME rom files completed… I spent a better part of the day installing the latest version of Mame 32 (Version 0.87) and now I can sit around and play video games for approximately 6 years non-stop. rofl. It’s time I start planning to build a cabinet.

It’s unbelievable… You don’t realize that when you send emails, Outlook Express saves every email you ever sent along with the actual attachment. I freed up about 5 GB of space on my laptop by just deleting the old emails from 2002 and 2003 from my Sent Items folder!

I’ve been craving chinese food for three days! Mom’s picking it up on her way home tonight! YAY. lol

It’s been about a week so I figured it’s time to update my friends… Not too much new happening in my life.

Work has been good. Though I’m a bit nervous about the new shifts that they’re assigning. They gave us a list of about 30 shifts, 10 of which I would not mind and 20 of which I’d hate to get stuck with. We had to sort them into our priority. Then this week, they are going to rank us based on seniority and performance and assign the shifts by that order. I really hope I get one of my top choices though chances are slim.

My weekends have been uneventfull for the most part. Jen and Charlie moved into their new apartment and I gave them a hand. The new place is great. It’s just a 2 bedroom but it’s huge. It’s got plenty of room for the two of them to be comfortable and even entertain guests if they choose.

This weekend, I hung out with Kerri and we met up with Janice and a bunch of her friends at Dave and Busters. We had a great time eating, drinking and playing pool. I finished my evening with the sad realization that I’ve lost some of my skill at Pump it up, the DDR-like game. I need more practice. Janice’s friends are cool, and it would be cool to all get together again. Jen and Charlie met up with us there as well… I think that Janice is almost a female version of Charlie. He was quite amused by her antics and humor.
