Wind-up Toy

I don't know why I get myself so wound-up over work BS sometimes. Well, maybe I do know why, I just wish I wouldn't get all worked-up and pissed off at stuff that I shouldn't really care about. See, I don't work directly in the music department anymore, but I still am attached to it- especially my DVD section, which looks like crap. It just makes me upset to see how the music section is being taken care of sometimes and I just want to scream, and tell people how to do it right. Sounds a bit controling doesn't it? I admit, I'm a slight control freak, and I tend to think that my way of doing things is better than other people's ways....hey at least I recognize this in me. But seriously, it's not always "my way", it's just how it should be done. Like store policy, and people don't do it. Luckily I was able to vent my frustrations a bit before I killed someone or quit. Greg keeps telling me that I need to "let go" of it all- the music department and Dvd's....it's hard though. I have a serious attachment to the section, I really CARE about it- how the place is run, managed, and looks, and I can't seem to snip that umbilical cord. *sigh* And I worry that even if I were to take a new position at the store where I am totally away from the music section and not involved in it at all, that I will still stress out over it. It's like, as long as I work there, and see it, I'm going to give a shit. But who knows, maybe once I really "snip" that cord and take a position away from music I won't be so attached. I guess we'll see. Thanks for listening. :)

Walk on the Marina and Palace of Fine Arts

On Sunday May 22, my mom, grandma, and I went up to SF to walk around the Marina. It was really nice, though a bit windy and I was chilly at first. Then we saw the Palace of Fine Arts and decided to explore that area. It is really pretty. There were a few weddings going on, I took a picture of this one couple that were being photographed. The buildings and collumns were cool, but the thing that caught my attention were all the turtles! There is a lake/pond and it is filled with turtles. I took a picture of nearly every single one I saw. I had nearly 100 pictures, 90% of those were of turtles. You can check them out on my photo-site: http://www.fujicolor.com.au/Triana

Eye can bowl!

so a while ago Greg came across this Disney/ Pixar Bowling league on the Yerba Buena Bowling Center's webpage. You sign up to bowl and get to chose if you want either a Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, Incredibles, or Kim Possible bowling ball with bag! The Monster Inc bowling ball looked so cool, it's Mikey eye! I had to have one. I tried joining the league, but it's fr kids (figures), so I emailed the person in charge and asked if i could just order the ball for myself. I did and a few weeks ago it arrived and I was finally able to pick it up yesterday. It is so awesome. Greg doesn't think I should actually bowl with it, cuz it will get scratched....but I want to show it off on those rare occasions that I go bowling. we'll see, I still have to get finger holes drilled. So until then it is just a 12lbs decorative piece in my room. :)

Meltdown

I have been so busy these past few weeks. In each class I had a group project going on, which can be very time consuming and frustrating with students that don't all live in SF, commute, and work in other citites. For some groups things went really well, for others they were getting frustrating. But I just finished another presentation, I have my last one tomorrow and then those are over. I have two exams next week, one on wedensday the other on Saturday(EWWWWW!). and then a take home final due next next wednesday. so i am slowly unwinding from school stress.

Work has also become interesting. I can't say exactly what's going on, don't want to start a grape vine of gossip- but once things are set in stone, I will let you all know. What else.....oh, our trip to Hawaii is coming up really quick. in about 3 weeks Greg and I will be off to Oahu. We really need the break. Greg is even getting excited about it. I think that is all I have to babble about for now...I'll be posting more as the semster winds down and I have more free time. Until then...
