This song brought to you by Levi's
One of my favoritest songs has been turned into a jingle for a commercial.
Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to ever listen to that song again without thinking about a pair of jeans.
Current mood: Disappointed

It jus taint raht
I was drinking red wine earlier while watching 'rasslin. Isn't that like mixing matter and antimatter?
I guess the wine could have been wine-in-a-box from 7-11. That would have been more apropos.
Current mood: Sleepy

Someone has to die now
There was an update to my World of Warcraft online RPG that automatically started to install when I tried to sign in. But the patch didn't take, and it said I had to completely uninstall and reinstall the program and try to update again.
It took 3 hours to install this game the first time on my 3-year-old iMac, which was once top-of-the-line but now is on the fringe of being the "well, it's still good for word processing" computer.
So I reluctantly deleted the entire game and am reinstalling. Now, the reinstall seems to be frozen.
I will literally be sick to my stomach if I can't get this game to work any more. It'll be like going cold turkey on heroin.
Current mood: Freaking out; really wishing I had a G5

Yeah, what he said
At the risk of being like one of those staunch conservatives who only listens to Rush and Hannity, here's a fab blog from and for The Other Side.

Hurry up and wait
I passed the national certification exam for massage and bodywork yesterday morning!
I worked late the night before, then had to be at the testing center bright and early at 7:30 a.m. I woke up, wiped the sleep from my eyes, brushed my teeth and rolled in to the center wearing the same clothes I'd worn to work the night before.
The test itself wasn't that hard -- 160 multiple-choice questions, administered by computer. I actually felt guilty that the test wasn't harder; there were others at the testing center taking other exams and certifications for various careers, and I could hear a few of them diligently typing away at their computers, presumably on lengthy essay questions. Most of the people there were teachers taking some sort of teaching exam. I was the only LMT (licensed massage therapist) candidate. Another man was there to take the GMAT.
I was done in less than an hour and a half.
The state recognizes the national certification exam as its licensure exam -- for now. There have been rumors that the state is planning to break away and administer a separate test of its own, which would include a practical in which you'd have to perform a massage as part of your grade. So I wanted to get this test done ASAP, before they make the Big Change. That way I'm grandfathered in.
Next step: I'll have to send the state a copy of the results of the exam -- along with the requisite check. Then after a few more weeks of waiting for the bureaucracy to process me, they should send me a state license number, and I'll be an LMT!
Current mood: Relieved
