Wii Are Such Suckers

I knew it was a bad idea.

One of Colleen’s co-workers offered us a Nintendo Wii (for the full price, that is) but I wasn’t sold on getting it. Sure, they look really cool and I really would like to have one but I knew we didn’t need it so I told Colleen to pass up the offer. The offer sat there for several weeks before Colleen got the miraculous idea to ask her parents if they wanted one. No way they would want one, right?

It’s funny how old people have a way of surprising you

Before I knew it, we were writing out a check to the aforementioned co-worker, to be reimbursed by Colleen’s parents once we shipped it to them. Now I’m afraid we aren’t going to get reimbursed; not because they are charlatans but because I doubt we are ever going to send it to them

Colleen picked up the Wii on Monday and I thought, “Aw, what the heck? Let’s try it before sending it off.” I should have known those would be famous last words. Colleen instantly got hooked but she tried not to let on. I thought it was fun too but I didn’t want to let on either. Eventually we couldn’t keep up the charade any longer. When I got home yesterday Colleen had made like 5 extra “Mii” characters and I knew she didn’t want to give it up. I got a little too excited from the rush of beating people up in Wii Boxing so Colleen knew I was attached too.

I think we are going to ask Colleen’s parents if they want the current one we have or want us to try to get another one from Colleen’s co-worker. Then again, I don’t know if the answer will matter: I think we are keeping it either way.

- Sat

And here comes the flood!

Okay, it is time for this drought to be over! It has been a while since our last post and it was quite a doosey! It is time for Sat and I to get back on the horse and stick to our New Year’s Resolutions. So how to start? How about with an update on our New Year’s Resolutions! Continue reading »

A friendly chat

Shortly after taking my new position a casual friend of mine from the library asked to have an informal chat with me.  I was a little excited and a little scared because I wasn’t sure what it was about (she didn’t really allude to anything).  So I was stressing a little – hoping that it was something fun but not too sure.  Well as it ends up she just had something on her mind that she felt she needed to share with me and was really worried that I would think that she was butting in where she didn’t belong.  So, would you be scared?  Because I sure was!  Thankfully the woman is super awesome and I knew she wouldn’t say anything intentionally mean and that she really did have my best interests at heart.

Sat post accident

So it has been a couple weeks since Sat’s fateful run-in with the truck and first off I would like to say thank you for everyone’s concern! Random people at work would come up to me and ask how he was doing. I didn’t realize so many people were secretly reading our blog. YAY!! But to answer the question you are all asking, he is fine. That contusion never came to surface so we didn’t see any bruising. He was a little stiff for a few days but because he stuck with his exercising and regular routine he really didn’t have much down time. Continue reading »

Road Rash

It’s been a while since I’ve last written a post. It’s not that nothing has been going on, it’s just that nothing extremely exciting has given me that push to sit down and write a post. Well, I’m happy and sad to report that something “exciting” happened to me today: I got ran into by a truck while on my bike.

Now, before you freak out: I’m fine. A little battered, a little bruised, but alright.

It all went down this morning when I decided to do the “right” thing and ride my bike to campus despite the rain. It hasn’t rained here in a while and I don’t usually have to make the decision on whether to ride my bike or take the shuttle but I usually end up siding with the latter. Maybe it’s because I wanted to get to campus quickly or maybe it was because I hate riding the shuttle but for whatever the reason, I decided to take my bike.

Finishing up Vegas

Well, I assumed that Sat wanted to finish and here it is a week later and he still hasn’t, so I guess it is my turn again.  Good thing is, there isn’t much more to tell. Continue reading »

So much to tell!

Well, it has been a while since the last post and SO MUCH has been going on! As you saw a few weeks ago I got a new job (yay!). My last day in my current position is this Thursday. I have been bustin’ my balls for the last two weeks to get things wrapped up and ready for me to leave. I don’t only have to take care of my regular tasks but also wrap up all the “extras” that I have been working on.

Spring Break, WOOOOO!

It’s somewhat weird when you live in a spring break destination. People want to come to your town to soak up some sun and booze but all you want to do is get away. I’m not complaining though; I’m pumped that spring break has finally arrived.

It hasn’t been all that long since our last post but it has been the end of the term and Easter was on Sunday so a fair amount of things have been going on. I’ll start from the beginning, namely the end… of the term.

As you might have gleaned from Colleen’s last couple posts, she was offered a job in the Mandeville Special Collections Library. She was a little depressed from being passed over for the other jobs she interviewed for but that made this offer even sweeter. She officially accepted the position today and she begins her new job on April 14. I know she is going to rock, just like she does in all aspects of life.

Go me. :)

Well, this is the follow up post to the one earlier today. I was just going to edit it but was worried that those of you with RSS would not be notified of the change so am just going to start from scratch…

I guess before I begin I should start with a little back story. About a month ago I had my second interview for the ILL manager position. I was REALLY hoping to get the job and actually thought that I might get it. Well, I found out one Sunday night/Monday morning that I did not get it. I was so sad and disappointed that I immediately started applying for jobs on the UCSD job site, JOBlink. I didn’t really think much of the jobs that I applied for. I mean, I applied for things that I thought I had a chance of getting but didn’t really care that much. It was just what I needed to do to help me feel better.
