I have a strong dislike for dealing with banks.
This is amplified when they play the responsibility shuffle with their outsourced debit-card services.
Called the bank, got shunted to the card services.
Card services say to call the bank and talk to a rep.
Bank rep says to call card services again and tell them it's lost (when it's not actually).
Card services says "Oh, ok. We'll fax your bank and tell them it's lost. Then they'll contact us to let us know we need to replace the card. Then we can send you a new one."
holy bureaucracy batman!

(shamelessly stolen from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) coraline because I'm too busy to write my own post...)
you're all aware emperor norton's is playing for the big broadcast of 1938, right?
well, now you are.
tom champion says "the martians are invading, and they're going to tow your cars". (more or less.)
(in not-unrelated news, tom champion can Act. who knew?)
(also, sen_no_ongaku can compose awesome catchy vintage ditties, in addition to creepy martian music.)
ALSO ALSO: THE SHOW STARTS EARLY!
it's a "soft start" so there are things onstage (and in the audience) before the official "start" time. that includes one of ENSMB's big songs!
quoted from cthulhia -- People will be milling about in character by 7:30. (matinee: 1:30)
The script starts around 7:45. (matinee: ~1:45)
There's at least one ENSMB song before the official start at 8. (matinee: 2)
The usherettes, "cigarette girls" & assorted offstage cast not only look the part, but it seems like they may actually do improv scenes with each other if the early arrivals are game. (If last night's "rehearsal" is any indication, they're also going to run out of vintage candy, and slightly out of period "candy cigarettes", fast. Arrive early, be sure to buy something from them and interact with them in character.)
OCTOBER 29, 30, and *2* shows on HALLOWEEN!
see you there?

Dropped off a friend at the airport and promptly made another friend carsick on the way back from said airport due to my twisting Medford/Somerville back streets driving. (Sorry!)
I have a crockpot full of beef, olives, capers, tomatoes, and a head and a half of garlic stewing away in the kitchen. Just tried a bite and it's yum, I'm excited to taste it again in a few hours.
Now to go check out and potentially bring home snow tires off craigslist... if I disappear forever you'll know it was really an axe murderer just pretending to be selling four Michelin X-Ice tires to lure unsuspecting Mazda owners to a grisly death. eep!
EDIT: Snow tires achieved, I fought off the axe murderer with a tire iron.

OMG OMG OMG!
Listening to rough cuts of the ENSMB CD that's nearly done production, this sounds SO AWESOME!
I mean, I was expecting the music to be good, but the quality is absolutely stellar! I seriously need to buy our engineer some beers for this one... And these are the ROUGH cuts that still need a bit of work!
More news (and buy-it links) once it's finalized...

Know what's not real yet?
That this is my last week here at Candlewick.
Mixed emotions on that front. I know I made the right decision, but I think I'm actually going to miss this place.
Still, new job is going to rock. Had a couple conference calls and have spent a few hours there now, I think it's really going to be an excellent time. I get to basically rebuild their entire IT infrastructure from the ground up, and get to be the person making the calls instead of implementing stupid decisions made higher up the chain than me.
And yes, it scares me somewhat that I'm so excited by that.

Ouch.
So those pull-ups that I couldn't finish for my work-out Tuesday? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I damaged my arms doing those. It's killing me (upper forearm, lower bicep) whenever I straighten them... so I'm doing it as often as possible to keep them stretched.
[stretch] Owwww...

Upon threat of death, I've only made one "When in Rome" so far, which falls far short of my planned every-five-minutes. Ah well, what can one poor punner do?
I have discovered that my right leg (which Ive broken twice in my life) that I thought was fully functional actually has some structural issues due to the five or ten degree angle that my foot now achieves. This means that I use non-calf muscles to do the bulk of the ankle lifting when I walk, and those muscles in turn get extremely sore as a result. Boo hiss. May have to consider getting it checked out by a doc some day soonish to see if anything can be done.

I needed to drop something off ad a friend's house, and I realized that I haven't biked further than Davis Sq. in I don't know HOW long. So, I went for a 5.5mi bike ride this evening. Stopped in the middle to pick up some Sake as I've been craving it like MAD lately, and came home again.
That felt gooood. I really love biking, I need to do more of it.
I wish I'd started earlier this evening, as I like it less once it gets dark, and I don't know if any of you have noticed but it's getting dark at 7:30 these days. (Don't shoot the messenger!) But hey, it was a great ride, and now I'm all reved up to get something done this evening. Watch out laundry...
hmm, I require a biking icon.

So I just signed up for the intro class at Crossfit.

What have I done? This is gonna hurt...
And a new icon. It's the closest I have to a fitness-related photo, and adds yet another coraline taken photo to my icon pool.

I'm starting to get a bit stabby...
I'm really only at work today to do ONE THING, and I'm still waiting on the files to be sent so that I can do said ONE THING. We close at 1pm on Fridays in the summer, and it's now 1:05, and I'm still waiting to do my ONE THING.
