i thought i’d branch out from doing only office icons… to doing jkras icons. i know, big leap, eh? i was trying to think of something that i’d really enjoy making icons for, that wasn’t the office. and since i am totally in love with john krasinski, it seemed fitting. i spent more time on each individual icon, therefore there aren’t as many as usual. anyways, enjoy!

( check out the rest! )

i finally remembered to update my icon credit page. it’s pretty long now, so beware, it’ll take awhile to load. because i’m dumb and always forget to write down where i got some of the icons, you’ll notice i added a “do you know who made this?” to them. if you made it or know who made it, leave a comment at the bottom. i also added links to my own icons at the top. hooray!

on a totally seperate note, is “nother” a word? as in “a whole nother level?” it doesn’t seem like it would be a word, but rather slang for “another.” but that would make that phase “a whole another level,” which hardly makes sense. hmm.

today was the last day of winter recess camp, sad face. it’s been tons of fun. some more things to add to my 6 things list to make it an even 10:

1. today we recalled our dear childhoods as we listened to jock jams and now 2. backstreet boys? hells yes. technotronic? why not? and to make it even better, our little non-english speaking buddy was the kid to leap from his chair and yell “jump jump jump!” when “jump around” by house of pain came on, before the vocals even started. hilarious.

2. we toasted the new year at noon, with sprite and ginger ale in fancy plastic cups. as i was assisting cleaning up an exploded mountain dew, jeff asked me if i had a second hand. so for a few seconds i stared at both of my hands, utterly confused. turns out he was talking about my watch. i thought he was talking about my hands. yeah duh i have a second one, i was just trying to figure out which was the first and which was the second.

3. we played freeze dance in the gym during our new year’s party, and the whole thing was just hilarious. we didn’t want to directly laugh at the kids’ ridikkulus dancing, so we had to take turns distracting the kids as we secretly laughed our heads off. they tried disco, they tried break dancing, they tried being mimes. small children may actually be worse dancers than me.

4. handing in my time sheet was amazing. 48 hours. not bad, not bad at all. if only it was january 1st (min. wage is going up!).

 
and after work m&d and liz and i went to an amerks game, they played against the binghamton senators, and won 5 to 3. it was a good game, plenty of fights. but that was expected, as hockey is quite a violent sport. the first one happened 3 minutes into the game. i don’t really understand hockey though. well, i know how it is played and stuff, but i don’t understand the penalties. slashing? off-sides? et cetera. still fun though.

wow, i just noticed that i haven’t mentioned work all week. which is suprising since i’ve spent more time at work this week than any place else. i have just a few things to mention:

1. on the first day a woman brought her son in, signed the forms, and on her way out mentioned, “no speak english.” so here we have one korean boy that speaks little to no english. at first all he said was ‘no’ or ‘yes,’ but three days in and he has added to his vocabulary: who are you, how are you, bingo, one ball, two ball, new game, i win, my turn, snack, spongebob, and hot chocolate. he pretty much uses these phrases to get his point across. he wants some of my chips? “my turn.” he wins uno? “bingo! i win!” et cetera et cetera.

2. i just might be the worst connect 4 player ever. i have a problem with multitasking (in other words, i am easily distracted). so the kids have their agenda, which i usually forget about as i go ahead with my own. so i lose, a lot. but this also means everyone wants to play me, which is fun. so this week has been full with games of connect 4. i’m getting better though, with all this practice.

3. when we were playing hangman yesterday, i put up a phrase, which was “i am not very good at dodgeball.” they had “i am not __ry _oo_ a_ _o___a__. so what’s the first thing out of one kid’s mouth? “i am not very cool.” hilarious. and sad. but more hilarious.

4. yesterday when we were playing pin dodge, i was a pin guard and ended up being the last person in. so i either had to get one of their pins down or make a basket, and considering that their pins were heavily guarded by all their players, i went for the basket option. i missed the first two (hey, throwing a little ball almost full court is hard!), and got it in the second. considering that i might be the worst dodgeball player in existance (i throw like a girl), this was quite suprising and even more awesome when we ended up turning the game around and winning. although that didn’t exactly happen today when we played, my team lost three games out of three.

5. the kids had tons of fun (perhaps?) with the senior citizens down the hall. on tuesday they played bingo with them, and today they watched ballroom dancers with them. that was hilarious. the kids were able to keep quiet for the first half hour, but after that they were pretty crazy. they sang along with the christmas carols (usually with the wrong words), clapped when no one else was, and for some reason decided that then was the time to play musical chairs. but whatever.

6. i think the general fact that i have driven the car to and from work every day is important enough to mention here.

it’s official: i will never go to the mall with liz again. i don’t think i have ever spent this much money in my life. i began with $78 in my wallet and ended the spree with 3 bucks. and i spent $75 worth of cd’s in fye, i had that much in gift cards. plus the $50 in gift cards spent at target. and the $25 worth in old navy. yeah, do the math.

never, ever again. how is it that i can go on a weekend-long trip to new york city with my best friends and spend $20, but when i go with liz i end up broke?

but the good part is that i now have 5 new cd’s—tmbg (2), the aquabats, the weakerthans, and catch 22; new earrings; new pants; a new sweatshirt; new bracelets that i plan on cutting up and making into necklaces; a new mac keyboard that was $10 off (i can finally stop complaining about my broken spacebar, which was taped together with duct tape); a $25 itunes card, and bath and body stuff.

work was fun. we had 16 kids and 5 staff members, so the ratios were pretty wack. but it made our jobs really easy, and we had more time to color and play hangman. and jeff and i totally kicked butt in dodgeball (okay, it was mostly jeff).

and because i have two gift cards to fye and two to target, liz and i are going on a shopping spreeeeee tomorrow. i’m not much for sprees, but the thing about gift cards is that you can only spend them at one store. so saving them up doesn’t really help you buy a car now, does it?

“it’s me, i’m the bobblehead!”

today was the party at stevie’s house, and i got to play games on the wii for the first time. man that thing is amazing. even my dad had fun playing it. i liked tennis the best myself, but i was really really bad at bowling. but i think i was better at wii bowling than regular bowling, believe it or not. stevie also played rummikrub and scrabble with marta (i dominated in both).

as for gifts, good haul this year.

• dwight bobble head (the office)
• the office calendar
• ipod battery
• a 2gb sd memory card and a 1gb flash drive
• a sewing machine
• red ray-bans
• little miss sunshine
• harry potter and the goblet of fire
• miscellaneous gift cards
• candy

not bad, not bad at all.

i have work tomorrow though (8:30-5:30, 9 hrs.) so i should pro’ly go to bed. merry christmas!

merry christmas eve : )

it’s quite warm and green outside, so it doesn’t really feel like christmas. thanks global warming!

we’re off to jean and ray’s for the christmas eve party, so i thought i’d post now as we won’t be back until midnight or later (ish).

have a nice holiday!

i solved the rubik’s cube today. three times.

also, i made cookies today. many, many cookies.

and i decorated the christmas tree. with a ton of stuff.

you must look at this link for i cried from laughing so much. seriously. i’m not even exaggerating.

’twas the last day of school before break today. that meant i had a buttload of tests (yes, that included an econ test). but because it was friday, i didn’t mind so much. stabby gave me a rubik’s cube for christmas, so i had some fun with that. i haven’t solved it yet, but i’m getting there.

and at work we had 19 kids, which is friggin’ amazing. i spent most of the time making pacman-themed melti-beads and playing catch with a pink nerf football. plus a lot of kids brought gifts for the other counselors and i, so we had a good time trading candy, and pawning off the crappy stuff to the kids.

OMFG. THE TITLE WAS RELEASED TODAY:

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.

(posting at school because it’s just that fantastic)
