Brr! Just got home from work. I set out half an hour early to get a few last things from the shops and still managed to be at work 25 minutes early (how I do not know).

Turns out the reason they called me to work yesterday was because our manager won't be coming back, she has a brain tumour. And two of her daughters, her sister and her niece all work at the store and want time off. One of them has outright quit. We got shouted at for not staying, apparently it wasn't on and we should have all been very eager to be there until half 2 in the morning. Pissed me off because nobody told me what the fuck was going on, and I said I'd work most of the shift for them and they never called me back. Bah.

glad to see your doing well regardless

Just finishing Blood+ before bed. Waiting for my electric blanket to warm up.

And? Impressions?

kurandoinu · « **Reply #11203 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:00:04 AM »

I actually really enjoyed it. I keep seeing people say that it was crap, and so I was expecting rubbish.

I just wanted a happier ending for everyone

If you consider the movie and the series as two separate titles, then the series is quite enjoyable.

Argh, what should I do...3am, not sleepy at all...

Its 2am here. I really should go to sleep as I have stuff to do tomorrow. But I really cant be bothered.

And I just considered them as alternative versions to each other. The same vampire base storyline, and that was it. Its been a long time since I watched Blood the Last Vampire anyway.

play some computer: Hmm, I want to start Star Wars - The Force Unleashed but somehow I think the porting is buggy. Can't save ingame (let's say after the tutorial (level1)) -> Not that eager to play atm :-/

read a book: Currently reading Three Kingdoms. Heavy stuff for 3am

watch some anime: Was being lazy all day and only watched anime (YUA2). Got my share for today x3

I think I try to get some sleep

there is a KFC about 10 minutes away from me- i swear i had no idea they closed that late.
i hope your walk is in a safe environment. i worked at McDonald s when i was in high-school;
actually i am not kidding when i say i have never eaten fast food since then.
i have read KFC's are big in Japan as well. $:-\$

i'm gonna steal your blanket..

my radiator in my bedroom isn't working and it's so cold. :'(

kurandoinu · « **Reply #11211 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:28:20 AM »

My radiator is way at the other side of the room. And my side of the bed is next to the crapass single glazed window. I can feel how much cold its letting in even through the curtain and my dressing gown.

And I walk along the high street, next to the train station, across a road and then through a car park. I just have to avoid drunks coming back from town. Our KFC opens so late because the franchiser is a greedy bastard.

The local McDonalds here is 24 hours though. Poor sods.

Anyway, off to bed! Night all!

temuchin · « **Reply #11212 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:31:51 AM »

good night and keep warm, kurandoinu.

btw- most of those franchise owners are greedy basterds.

Oh good I thought I was the only one on here working at a fast food joint, If only I could find a better job while at uni. Working in a kitchen with fryers, ovens no air con and 42 degrees cels is not fun.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #11214 on:** December 20, 2009, 08:10:31 AM »

I work on the counter, which is pretty close to the front door, and its fucking freezing now 0_o

JoonasTo · « **Reply #11215 on:** December 20, 2009, 09:16:25 AM »

That's the kind of work I would never take.
I can do shitty jobs but there's a line somewhere.

Single-glazed? We have triple glazing in almost all windows here.
Damn feels good to finally be home after living a week in the woods.

Last war rehersal in the god damned army! Now 10 days holidays!

And 20 days and I'm free!

kurandoinu · « **Reply #11216 on:** December 20, 2009, 09:32:53 AM »

Its an old terrace house, and a student let at that, they're never gonna bother more than single glazing it. 24 hours and I'll be on the train back to my parents house

mizore · « **Reply #11217 on:** December 20, 2009, 03:57:45 PM »

My family has presents, and I'm broke.

Yay.

I saw the cutest clothes at the mall, but it is beyond me why they sell summer clothing when it's freezing. And yet, I am still compelled to acquire enough money to purchase the skirt/top set I saw in the window yesterday.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #11218 on:** December 20, 2009, 10:58:40 PM »

^Tights and layering! My wardrobe is almost all summer clothes, I just layer stuff to keep me warm when outside. I overheat very easily though.

Stom · « **Reply #11219 on:** December 20, 2009, 11:11:02 PM »

yeah most of mine are summer too, but that tends to happen when its 25+'C for 2/3 of the year.

its very close to Christmas now, and despite all previous experiences I am looking forward to it. though I am working Christmas eve doing shut down in the produce department, then it is 11 days off looking forward to some R&R.
