i havent posted much recently because i havent had much to say until these last few days where ive been quite busy.
Sunday..
Krista and I saw National Treasure. It was ok but it wasnt anything to get excited about. I guess I shouldnt have expected much since Disney produced it or had some part in it. I havnt been impressed with most of their movies with the exception of Pirates of Carb and the ones pixar has a big part in. After the movie we decided to give Tony Romas another try since ribs sounded pretty good and we were right there. We've been to this Kenn. TR a couple times before expecting service and food just as good or better than the ones received at the Spokane and Portland TRs, but were very disappointed. This visit was no different :( I feel really bad about how I judge servers at restaurants, due to the fact Im a server and unintentionally pick up on how poor service is because it compared to my work's standard of service. On the plus side to all the servers, I understand the value of tips and are definitely more generous.
Tuesady...
I went to WSU-TC to talk to my adviser. I only mailed in my app and trans. last week so i guess a lot of the info wasnt in the system yet. As far as i know though, my adviser said by next week the info should be processed and i'll be signed up for classes. w00t!
After the adviser meeting I drove up to Boise with my parents to spend Thanksgiving with my Uncle and cousins. My younger sister also lives with my uncle due to the fact shes going to school there and my older sis flew there for T-day. It was a long 5.5 hour drive and I pretty must was in and out of sleep the whole time with the good company of a Ferry Corten cd. I had some awesome dreams and thought a lot about things I never get a chance to think about ne more. It was actually pretty nice. When I got there we played Cat-Opoly, a late B-day present for my sis, and I won :)
Wednesday..
Today went went shopping. One of my least favorite things to do but I figured it was the only chance i would have to shop with my fam and have them show/tell me what they'd like for Christmas. Plus I wanted to get most of my shopping done before the after Thanksgiv. craze happened. After shopping we all went back and made pies. I havent cooks stuff like pies in a long time and it was nice to be able to again. I like cooking and i miss having the environment to do so. My cousin and I saw 'Saw' and it was quite entertaining. I know there was an earlier post about movies like this but i can care less. I like movies like these, even if some are corny. Saw actually had some really cool mind games going on throughout the movie which made it one of the better horror/scary movie ive seen recently.
On a side note, I watched 'Drawn Together' and comedy central. I loved it! the humor was great and the characters make the show. I recommend watching it if you get a chance (probably not for those who get offended by adult humor though) more infor here http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/drawntogether/
well thats all ive been up to and the rest of the week shall be just as busy. Hope everyone is having fun doing whatever they are doing. The draft sounds fun if you guys can get it going. I also share the concern that everyone will be addicted to WOW but feel like it will fade within a few months like most games like that.Current Mood:  drained |

Pizza Drivers Seek National Union
Thu Nov 18,12:37 AM ET Business - AP
By MATT GOURAS, Associated Press Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A fledgling national union for pizza drivers is demanding
better wages and training, saying the large chains have been taking advantage of them for years.
Its an effort that has attracted the attention of the Teamsters union,
but the Association of Pizza Delivery Drivers, based in Hendersonville,
has yet to organize its first shop.
A vote at a Domino's franchise in Lincoln, Neb., failed Tuesday night
on a tie. But organizers expect a better result next week when Pizza Hut
drivers vote at a store near Columbus, Ohio.
Tim Lockwood, treasurer of the pizza delivery union, said getting the first
vote itself was a huge victory as the union started just a couple of years
ago with a few drivers in an Internet chat room commiserating about unfair working conditions.
"It's sort of like the thing reached critical mass. We built a Web site and
they came," said Lockwood, a pizza delivery driver who declined to identify his employer.
About 600 drivers nationwide have signed up for the free union, and he feels
momentum gathering for more unionization votes.
"Despite the fact that we didn't take the vote, just that it occurred is a major
hurdle," he said. "It's never happened before in the history of pizza delivery driving."
Lockwood said pizza drivers make $5.50 to $6 an hour, plus tips, and are reimbursed
50 to 75 cents per delivery — no matter how far it is. Even worse, he said, pizza
delivery is annually ranked among the most dangerous professions.
"A lighted pizza sign on a car in a bad area says, `Look at me — I've got food,
I've got cash and I'm unarmed,'" he said.
Lockwood said he envisions collective bargaining with the national pizza chains,
forcing them to pay drivers a mileage reimbursement of 30 cents to 40 cents per mile,
along with compensation for more expensive commercial driver's insurance. He also said
drivers want to see concessions on safety issues, such as better training.
A spokeswoman for Pizza Hut, which is owned by the Louisville, Ky.-based fast-food giant
Yum Brands Inc., said she had not heard of the unionization effort.
"It's not a real issue for us," spokeswoman Patty Sullivan said from Pizza Hut's Dallas
headquarters. "We already work really hard to make sure all of our compensation is fair."
Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Domino's Pizza Inc. said it couldn't comment Wednesday on the unionization effort.
Matt Howard, a driver for a Pizza Hut in Sunbury, Ohio, found the union's site on the
Internet. Now he's pushing for unionization for drivers at his shop in a vote next week,
which will be run by the National Labor Relations Board.
First, though, he had to fend off a legal challenge from the owner of the franchise.
The 25-year-old said he's had his hours cut, and his wife — who also works at the store — fears retribution.
"The company keeps calling meetings to try to talk us out of the union," he said
"They are trying to do everything they can to take away our right to vote."
Howard said he thinks the seven or eight drivers at the store will approve the union
idea, even though he said the owners are stacking the vote with a few managers they are
labeling as drivers.
Labor attorney Mark Potashnick, who is helping the union, said the effort is drawing
attention from the Teamsters and other unions.
"I think once they get an election or two won and a collective bargaining agreement
or two in place, they are going to be in a much better position to pick up momentum," he said.
Potashnick said the drivers can expect a great deal of resistance from the companies,
especially if the effort starts to take hold.
"Whenever you have union organizing, it's amazing how many people get fired," he said.
"It's even more amazing how many employees get intimidated into abandoning their union activities."

I looked it up and sure enough "Ash To Ash - Loudermilk" is on the soundtrack. how cool is that! I dont know how many are fans of theirs but i sure am so i figured I'd share the info.Current Mood: cheerful |

I just finished watching Underworld for the 4th time and it gets better and better every time i watch it. I really didnt like it the first time i saw it, dispite Looney's raving about it, but now I think its awesome. The small details Make this movie! plus the plot is good too (along with Kate Beckinsale in tight outfits doesnt hurt)Current Mood: content |

Racing at night in the thick fog is soo fun..(and dangerous seen by most) A big truck (i think a dodge of sort) pulled up next to me at the intersection of van giesen and 240 and started reving like it wanted to race. It really hard to see cause of the fog but its late and not many other cars are out so i decide to go for it. We took off and race down the bypass (goin between 65-85) all the way till the last intersection before the freeway. It was awesome! neway, that was my fun for the night

I here at work, the only person on..and no customers! Its been like this for 3 hours and I have to stay for another 2. Jobs sure are fun. $$ People need to drink more on Mondays! More wine drinkage=more $$ for me + company=fun.
The other day I was called a "wine whore." Im not quite sure what she was implying (she was drunk of course.) She was like "I think the employee who work here are doing a great job be wine whores. Can you bring out two more bottles of this stuff?" lol working around drunk people is amusing!
Also, i feel like it would be very easy to be robbed right now. Its soo dark outside and the lighting inside is so dim that I can hardly see ne thing beyond the front counter :P (and no..there isn't ne thing i can do about the lighting for those who want to comment on that)

1.if you yelled for 8 years, 7months, and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee
2.if you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
3.the human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 ft.
4.A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes!
5.banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour.
6.the flea can jump 350 times its body lenth. it's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
7.the catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
8.some lions mate over 50 times a day.
9.right-handed people live, on average, 9 years longer than left-handed people.

I wanted to comment on how cool the fog looks over the river. Fog is awesome..we need more of it. especially when we want to see really stupid drivers out. I dont understand how hard it is to turn on headlights, when its dark and/or visibility is low due to fog, if not for their safety..then for others, so others wont be killed by someone who couldn't be see. bleh..people are morons!
on a different note: chinese food is good. yumm yumm
NE else heard or has comments on this game "Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean" I think it look cool..probably goin to get unless someone says it sucks.. check out this site for some info http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/rpg/batenkaitos/
