I’m working today. Both jobs even. WOO-HOO!

I don’t know what to write about, but I felt like writing something. I was surprised as shit that David Cook won American Idol. To be completely honest, I think the producers rigged it – they knew they’d make more money with Cook trapped in a record deal than they would with Archuleta. I mean… they didn’t want another Daughtry to happen. So regardless of what America voted, I think Cook was chosen. I mean, just compare Simon’s comments on the performance show to his backpeddling during the finale. I think that was more than just being apologetic.

Jackie and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary last night. It would’ve been a better day, but we both had to work – she got called in, and I forgot to ask for the day off. Didn’t really matter too much – we still went out that night. Our initial plans were to hit up the Carnival Buffet at the Rio, because it’s supposed to be the best buffet in town. Upon getting there though, we found a line… well, we found a line. A line that would’ve taken about 2 hours to wait through. Instead, we headed across the street to the Gold Coast; neither of us had been inside that one, so it was new for the both of us. The buffet was alright – nothing great, but I did end up having a mean plate of Mongolian food. (Which, by the way, has become my single favorite foreign food since I’ve moved out here.) Then we sat on the floor and played a few hands of Blackjack, a couple slots and went home. Didn’t win anything – but I never expect to anyway, so it didn’t matter. We had fun.

When we got home, I started watching the Bluray copy of A Scanner Darkly that I had from Netflix. Now, while I didn’t get as confused as I did the first time I watched Waking Life (another great film by Linklater – uses the same rotoscoping technique used in Scanner), I was still pretty confused at the end. I think part of that had to do with the fact that I was REALLY sleepy through the first half of the film. Anyhow, I got the jist of it, and if I get the chance to watch it again, I definitely will. It also made me want to rewatch Waking Life for about the sixth time.

Just yesterday, I finally signed up for three RLS’ (Retail Loyalty Sites). I’d heard of them before from Brandon when he worked at Target, but never really gave them a second thought. Since I work at Gamestop now though, I’m eligible to use ‘em. Basically how they work is simple: you take training on the different systems and games (there are one site each for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo), and earn points. These points either earn you free stuff (MS and Sony) or entries into a sweepstakes for giant prize packages (Nintendo). I figure since I’m basically sitting online the whole time I’m on-air during the weekends, I might as well do these things and earn myself some new video games. (Which should also help my wallet out, since I can earn new games that I’d otherwise be spending money on.) I’ve only been on ‘em since yesterday, and I already have enough points for a free PS3 game. Killer.

I got nothing left, and I should probably get back to paying attention to my job.
