OK, this week­end, I’ll tackle one of the more involved Form­Spring ques­tions. For now, here’s another short one:

“Do you still have GIR and where is it now?”

For those of you who don’t know, one of my favorite car­toons is Invader Zim and I have big pil­low of GIR, a char­ac­ter from the show. It looks some­thing like this:

Except my ver­sion didn’t have an ice cream cone. Every­one in the dorms love to fon­dle it (the bulging eyes can be cupped sug­ges­tively) and Ali­son W would often bor­row it for extended peri­ods of time.

I do still have GIR. He’s in a box in my room with a bunch of other stuffed ani­mals. I never unboxed them because my bed is smaller now and I’m try­ing to declut­ter my room.

Any­way, if you haven’t seen Invader Zim, you should def­i­nitely check it out! I have the DVDs if you want to bor­row them, or you can find the whole series… else­where online. (You should also check out Johnny The Homi­ci­dal Maniac, a comic book by the same writer, Jho­nen Vasquez.)

Ali­son W, I’m skip­ping your first ques­tion because I don’t have the time to write up a deserv­ing post here at work. Also, I’m pretty sure my visual aids are con­sid­ered NSFW.

But I’ve been dying for some­one to ask me your sec­ond Form­Spring question,

“What is your favorite color?”

Because I can quote one of the best movies of all time:

And like Sir Lancelot, my favorite color is blue. (Although it wasn’t always, so I could also be Sir Galahad.)

Today started slow, but fin­ished awe­some. I can’t wipe the grin off my face right now as I look back.

Woke up a bit… fraz­zled. Gave Peggy S her wake-up call, then alter­nated between being online, watch­ing TV, and lay­ing in bed. Sound famil­iar? Yeah, I’ve been doing this for days.

Around lunch, got a call from Alice C that Habi­tat for Human­ity of Yolo County has a project for us. Score! Then I got an even bet­ter call. UCD called and a lady told me that I would be get­ting some­thing in the mail in the next cou­ple of days that includes infor­ma­tion on how to reg­is­ter for Fall 2005 classes! SCORE!

Watched some GTO with Will N for a while. After that, online job hunted really quickly basi­cally until it was time for the project. Took a shower and heated up a bur­rito, then I made my rounds and picked up Thu H, Jimmy P, Izzy P, and Peggy S. KVIE was fun, as usual. Except Peggy S was pick­ing on me all night. Like she broke my ter­mi­nal. And then she got Izzy P, who was sit­ting on my other side, to help pick on me, too. Good thing Russ, the stu­dio cap­tain, took my side.

It was her Elmo “Tick­les wanted,” shirt.

After the project, dropped every­one off and went to Joe M’s to fix his com­puter. He wasn’t home, though, so I left him a mes­sage and went over to Peggy S’s for a bit in case he was going to come home soon. She made some great noo­dles for me, and we watched TV for a bit. Then she looked like she was about to pass out on the couch, so I told her to go to sleep, and went home. Sorry Joe M… I guess I’ll fix your com­puter some other day.

Now I’m sit­ting here read­ing some more Xan­gas and con­sid­er­ing going to bed. Oh, and to Ali­son W… you have no one to blame but your­self for read­ing this when you should be hard at work.
