Wake Up Call
I got a huge, huge wake up call today.
Enjoy the little things and always, always seize the day.

Vonnegut is the Man
“The arts are not a way of making a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

The Day I Met Anna Torv, John Noble and Joshua Jackson…
So, I really should be studying, but I’ve decided that the only way to truly focus on a boring, lame textbook is to write it all out and get it off my chest.
It all started last night, when, walking to one of my classes, I noticed a Vista Cruiser and a Boston police car parked outside Buchanan Tower. Vista Cruiser, in my Fringe-manipulated mind automatically means Bishop-Mobile and I instinctively looked around to see if John Noble or Joshua Jackson were around. No such luck. I did, however, come across some pretty friendly crew members who told me that they were filming a stunt scene the next day and that Joshua, John, Anna Torv and Lance Reddick were supposed to be around. Sweet, I say. I’ll come back to campus on Friday when, by the way, I don’t have class, just to see if there’s a chance I can meet any of them.
I even stayed later than usual just to see if they would, by any chance, be driving back to their trailers at 7. But, alas, they weren’t back and I had to head home for dinner with my parents. I told myself that I would meet at least one of them tomorrow anyway…

Stupidest Question to Ask a Closing Business…
When customers find out an establishment is closing, they always ask “WHY?!”
OF COURSE the answer is because it doesn’t make enough money to satisfy the corporation. Do you really think it’d be closing because it’s making bumloads of money and the store just wants to get out while it’s good?!
It baffles me how some people just really. don’t. think.

End of the Year Wisdom
It seems like this is all one needs to know and remember to be happy.

Vultures
Yesterday, the company I work for made a huuuuge mistake. It was a technicality that pretty much left our store barren and looking pretty darn pathetic. It may sound like a teeny error when written about here, but trust me, it was huge. Our store is closing and, yesterday, it became 75% off everything for sale in the store. That included games, wireless accessories, game console accessories and movies. Except… it wasn’t for movies. Someone coded the computers t0 allow them to register all the new movies for 75% off. Imagine getting a TV box set that was originally $40 for $10. Not too shabby. Some movies ended up being $1.65. We were packed. The busiest we’d been in three years. BUT…

Finally Feeling Like Christmas
Yesterday was a pretty intense day. My mom and I decided to brave the warzones that are Costco and Walmart. Costco was PACKED and people were fighting over samples and who was where in the checkout line. It was ridiculous BUT I did get to pick up a sweet gingerbread house making kit for $10. Win.
Went to my friend Lisa’s house where we made the sick gingerbread house, hung out, exchanged gifts and played Rock Band. Solid night with some awesome friends.
Check out the house:

My favourite “The Way I See It” ever…
Sometimes my Americanos come with some beautiful words.
