that one time i wore my smarty pants...

I didn't get to watch the Oscars last night, as they started too late to show over here, so I was going to watch them tonight, which is when they were airing on tv here. But I got a text from Kara asking me to come to the pub quiz, and of course I chose that over the sitting at home painting my nails, writing a letter to Holly and watching the Oscars where it isn't suspensefull, just making comments about the dresses and the actual show. But the quiz was fun, I met Kara and Steph and two other friends. And for the first time we placed! We came in 4th so we won 45 euro, which as pretty sweet. So with my 9 euro it covered my pint and the quiz fee. I've played a lot at this pub quiz and the only other time was when Kara and I won for best name. 
So that was fun. Thought we didn't do too hot on the Oscar round, maybe if I had watched it, haha. 

Today was your usual Monday, we were busy in the morning and not so much in the afternoon. Though there was a funny moment when I got back from lunch. One of the societies had gotten bubbles delivered to the office for their ball next week, and the auditor gave us some to play with so Sharon assaulted me with bubbles walking into the office and then threw me my own little champagne bubbles. Which I was having issues with making the bubbles bubble. Sharon was laughing at me and then tried to make sure it wasn't broken. Nope it was me, so she said, you're blowing too hard. And of course the mature adults we are burst out laughing and joked about my blowing skills the rest of the afternoon. But I was able to blow softer and make bubbles. It was a good thing the office was quiet. Though I was productive I emailed my video resume, did some trip planning for Italia and a few other emails and then the stuff I actually do at work such as answering phones and helping people. 

I had a lot of random things on my mind yesterday and now I can't think of them. Ohhhh! I love how now gmail you can customize your theme color. Of course I changed mine and made it slightly different, I was using the cherry blossom, but now it is pink and green. and I love it.  And looking at everyone's birthday ball photos this morning at work kept me entertained for a good hour. Ahhh, crazy drunken birthday ball photos. 

So I can't think of anything else... night!

Oh that's good that you get to see the Oscar's on delay. I need to get better about working with Gmail too. I'm so elementary with it

I just jumped on the gmail customizing too. I think I like it.

Hmmmm, I'll have to try GMail customizing, though I don't know how much of a difference it will make bc I use Thunderbird.

The good thing about the Oscars is you can read about the winners and look at the pictures of what people wore and it's... just about the same thing.

I love that you can choose your colors on gmail now! I didnt know that until I read your post, so thanks! I was using the Cherry Blossom one, too, but now mine is hot pink and hot green. It's a bit much actually...

Congrats on placing at your pub quiz. That's exciting! I've always wanted to go to that, but no one will ever go with me. Hmm...hopefully one day!

Congrats on placing! One of my life goals is to win a pub quiz. The closest I came was 3rd and we only go a bottle of cheap cava to share among the 5 of us. Normally all those Uni kids show up in hordes of 13+ and dominate.
