.work.&.friends.

i guess i needed a little reminding, but those first friends episodes are hilarious. they're raw and pure humor. it's amazing how far these characters have come. joey was way thinner (not that he's that fat now), chandler was just as funny...ross's lines were a little bit better. monica was a little less neurotic. rachel was a spoiled little rich girl...and phoebe was the same. my how time flies. now mind you, i'm not just sitting here watching old episodes of friends...i have it on as background noise as i try to write my PA. however, my intent to just have it as background noise, is failing me a bit, because i find myself really watching and noticing how sets and their characters have changed. and they really are very funny. it's no wonder the show has been on for 9 years, and is gearing up for a 10th and final (?) season.

so my roommate and i are slowly becoming losers. right now our lives revolve around watching reruns of felicity on the WE channel. as some of you know, my roommate would be laughed at if caught watching the WE channel. mostly because he's not part of the 'W' category. but we watch it. twice a day. 6PM and 11PM. and when i'm here alone in the mornings, i watch it at 11AM. this tv will probably be the death of me. make that the tv and my computer. i am addicted...i admit it. but there is just a plethora of information at my fingertips, with both the tv and my computer. i can't help it.

i found out i might be flying back out to new jersey next week, for 2 weeks. you can really tell how valuable you are to your company when someone wants you to fly out 719 miles just to help with a powerpoint presentation. i guess some company's got money to spend. but it's all good, i guess...it is billable work, so i might be able to miss the next RIF. hopefully.

i really can't wait until my hair grows longer. then i'll get the highlights. i'm really getting bored with it all. and it's so tedious to fix after my shower. such a pain in the keister.

jeff and i finally took out the xmas tree last night. we decided to get it over with, since every time jeff walked across the floor, we could hear those needles falling off the tree and onto the floor. so you can imagine the shower of needles that rained everywhere when we had to move it even an inch. i took pictures. it's hilarious. we had no bag to put over the tree, so we just had to walk really fast to the dumpster outside...and it took me 1/2 an hour to clean up the trail that the tree left behind...the trail from the tree stand, out the door, down the stairs, across the parking area and to the dumpster. good times. hopefully i got most of the needles...

1/2 an hour to felicity...
