Bleh.

And once again, I'm not tired. WHY?! I have to be up again in less than five hours for work, but I could probably stay awake until then if I so chose.

Worked on the ALttP stuff a little more today. I've decided that *maybe* my original plan for a cross-stitch is a bit too large (although it would wind up looking fabulous on a wall). Perhaps for now, I'll just do one scene instead. Fifty-seven thousand is a LOT.

Pikmin! I haven't touched Pikmin 2 in about ten months, but earlier this week, I picked it back up. I love it to death. I beat the game ages ago, but I haven't completed it yet, and that's what I'm working on. I just fear the depths of the caves that I'm in; I'm not as good as I used to be, and I've already lost a load of Pikmin five floors into a fifteen-level cave. D: But I will perservere!

Lynda hates me because I got her stuck on FF9. :3

Ooooh, the heat's coming up. At least I'll be warm when I try to sleep....

I got a fangirl!

Today was our very sudden Halloween party at work. Ariana opened with Lijuan, and Lijuan went home early because she wasn't feeling well. It was a shame; she would have had a blast. I came in at noon, ready to start arts and crafts, but the back room was so messy from Ariana moving things around for Flores, that all I could do was be the only person on the floor (Lijuan was confined to the bathroom, the poor thing). I was getting antsy; I'd wanted to start when I came in, and be in costume right away, too (any excuse). Evie was late to show up, which means everything was late to start, too.

We kicked things off after three. Our main attractions were face painting, balloon-popping and hey! Sanrio workers in Halloween costumes three days early!

The face painting went really well and drew a large crowd, who played the balloon pop game after they were done. Because I was Link (any excuse, I'm telling you), I taped a pushpin to the tip of my sword and let people pop the balloons with that. It was fun! And now, pictures: ( Forgive the graininess; I don't know why they came out so poorly. D: )

The store looks disgusting. :::makes blecch face:::

I was waiting for my food in the food court on my break and a heard a SCREAM. A girl came running over all, "Oh my God! You're Link! Oh my God!" and then, "Can I give you a hug?!" Old hat, but I didn't quite expect it. I didn't hear all the whispers that followed me as I decided what I wanted to eat, thanks to the swimmer's ear I woke up with this morning (I just learned that eczema makes it worse. Holy crap, I'm damned. For life. Please kill me), but this girl was pretty hard to ignore. She asked for a picture with me. I was leaving to go back to work to eat, when she followed me, and at the last moment, dragged me off to show her friends. "I FOUND LINK!" and her friends (two guys and another girl) thought I looked pretty damned sharp. The guys were a lot more cool about it than the girls, by far. It amused me. Fangirls. ♥

We probably fell miles short of goal, but we had fun. Hopefully, next time our karaoke adventure (we had planned karaoke, but the lyric screen decided it didn't want to work) will go according to plan.

I can't wait for Tuesday! I close with Evie.
