How The Office spent their summer vacation. With all-new spoilery footage! Wheeee! Okay, the whole Jim/Pam/Karen triangle is funny, but Ryan sitting in New York dressed all in black with heavy stubble saying, "I think I dated a black girl!" *splorflechokes* Oh, Ryan. Never stop being an asshat. (Oh, show, please keep showing Ryan! I love Ryan! *wibbles*)

Oh, and Andy, you've been living in Scranton long enough to pronounce it SusqueHANNa rather than SusqueHAAAWNa. And maybe even stick in the nasally kick in that third syllable. (Yes, this is the kind of stuff I think about while watching. *sigh*)

Speaking of which, I really need to make a list of when my favorite shows and the ones I want to check out are premiering for my own reference.

Oh, and I just realized that I was wrong and that I not only get my birthday off, but that it's also on a Saturday. Which ... hey, at least I don't have to skip work to stay home and celebrate by myself, but on the other hand, the chances of me staying home and celebrating by myself if it's on a Saturday just dropped to an all-time low.

I don't know. It's not like I want to sit home and be all maudlin and play Portishead while swilling vodka in a pathetic way. I just ... I don't know. I just keep trying to come up with reasons worth celebrating turning thirty with a big party or a trip to a club and I'm just comin' up with nothin'. I don't date, I'm not published, I hate my job, I can't afford to go out or go to Wincon or go back to college. I'd just rather stay home with a six-pack of Smirnoff Grape and a good book than go to a party with my family and have them tell me how great it is that I'm lonely, broke, and depressed.

*sigh*

Okay, you know what? I think I'm going to go call Compaq and yell at them instead of sitting here feeling sorry for myself. Somebody's really going to have to tell me how I'm supposed to bring a lawyer into this when I can barely afford groceries.

EDIT: Anybody want to buy me a Mega Millions ticket and send it to me? I'd run up to the New York border and get one, but I don't have the extra gas for it and it's not worth it for the buck I'm gonna spend on the one lousy ticket I'd buy. (I'll split the jackpot with you if I win. Which I won't, but STILL. :))

Or can you even do that? Is buying a lottery ticket and sending it through the mail against the rules or something? 'Cause if so, I can always just bug my mom and see if she's having one of my uncles get some in Jersey.

You know, you people in Pennsylvania have things named ridiculously. My dad always talks about the Schuylkill River, since he grew up in Pennsylvania. I recently saw it in print and didn't realize it was the same place because it's spelled so ridiculously.

Here, in Illinois, I live on the Fox River. Nice and simple. I like that. ;)

(Of course, my college town's river is the Kishwaukee, so I guess I don't have too much room to talk. At least it's spelled more like it's pronounced...)

When I turned 30, I used it as a "goodbye sucky 20s" party. It was great, and this decade has been much, much better so far (I'm now 32 and a half!)

Hmm. I turn 30 next month, which being the week before Halloween means odds are fair I'll be able to hit a party the Saturday a few days after my birthday. And it's a Wednesday night, so I might luck out and get Dad to take me out to eat, but that's generally as much birthday celebration as I ever get.
