Happy Friday the Thirteenth!

yendiAs many of you know, I consider Friday the Thirteenth to be a great day, something that should be honored with a national holiday in which we all get to wear hockey masks and go out and slaughter hard-drinking, pot-smoking, non-virginal teenagers. But since the government never listens to my proposals, I guess we're all stuck at work.
I'm particularly annoyed at the fact that there doesn't seem to be one channel showing a single one of the Friday the Thirteenth movies. I surely figured that a few of them would be rerun at least one of the movies. But no. They've got to be focusing on Valentine's Day, instead (and no, not by showing My Bloody Valentine, the greatest movie ever about a group of high school students stupid enough to party in a mineshaft, or even with the lame David Boreanz Valentine). Not even anything really good about the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Feh. Stupid Hallmark Holiday,
Anyway, spent all day yesterday at home because our landlord had our security system installed. It took seven hours, but the guy was thorough. It's a full system, with a wireless backup if someone cuts the phone line, a smoke detector that calls 911, and, of course, a standard alarm (attached to all doors and windows) that calls the cops. Plus panic buttons. Not that we ever want to have to use it, but it's nice to have it, after two robberies in two years. Although I suspect that the stickers and alarm company sign will make as much of a difference as anything.
As a side effect of the installation, we had to clear out our games and toys closet, so we're getting to reorganize things. And I found my Sonya Blade promotional Pog for the Mortal Kombat movie! Ebay, here I come!
Later today, I get to go to my first baby shower ever. For a male colleague, of course (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clontzman, although his LJ doesn't actually get used, since he's got a non-LJ blog). Really just a chance for a bunch of us to eat at The Flying Biscuit and celebrate the fact that he's soon going to be seriously sleep deprived.
Now to find my hockey mask and machete and deal with some of these calls that are coming in.
