And I could go on like this for hours!

spokeWhile thinking about the fact that i've been meaning to write everything for what feels like forever, it suddenly hits me: I've let my writing, and any creative stuff, slide.
I know better. I know that if I let my creativity slide, everything else follows suit, and I've told myself this before, yet here I am again feeling depressed because I'm getting nothing done. << And being increasingly almost-late for work. Sunday hit an all-time low; actually hit late 10:10.
Monday was better, a bit. 10:01 << Which is not, according to the bizzare functions of the work time clock, technically late. *rolls eyes*
So, best stab at gathering all Things I Have Meant To Post, as a start at shaking myself out of this:
Yesterday, we had an attempted robbery at work. First thing I heard was yelling; myself and the customer I was waiting on, we both looked to see what was happening. I had to turn, he was facing it. He asks me what was going on. (Ignore the stupidity, this is par for the course.)
So, all I saw for myself was about 6 of our guys, one gorcery stocker, one of the maintance/cleaning crew, and 4 security who had to come barreling up there because they were patrolling the rest of the store-eventually dragging down this huge guy. 7 feet and not thin; 2 guys have his legs and he's just dragging them. There was a lot of blood, but it turned out (eventually) that the worst was 1 broken nose and a couple of bruised and cut knees. It looked so much worse than that...
Well, turned out one of the cashier, guy named John, had been counting down his register. We mostly pick which register we'll use, and he's always on the 20-or-less lanes. Right by the exit door. You would not believe how many times he's been told that's dangerous, and by how many people. This guy had tried to grab his bag and run.
When the cops finally got there, they found his car. Parked right outside, still running, and with a bag of cociane in the front seat.
And... If only 'individuals who possess a certain connection to the ancient scriptures' can control a god-card... who was that goth-mime sort of guy Yugi won his off of?
Back when Marik had forced Yugi and Joey to duel, and Kiaba threw one of his Blue Eyes to stop that Rare Hunter killing Tea... okay, three questions here.
1. What are those cards made of?! I mean, how far away from that guy was Kiaba when he threw it? And it hits with enough impact to knock the remote of his hand?! O.o
2. Did anybody see Kaiba pick the thing back up? And why didn't it, oh, fall in the water? ...And why didn't Kaiba have a shrieking fit and try to kill Tea himself for costing him a Blue Eyes? (Simply because it would've amused me, you know. ) And... okay, I need to let go of the card, yes?
3. Yet I can't. Why'd the idiot throw a Blue Eyes when there was a clear water hazard?! They were on a freaking DOCK, for crying out loud, by all rights the card should be lost!!!
*deep breath* Moving on from the episode where I should've been biting my nails over Yugi and Joey dueling yet again (as if fate is trying to send them a message, and it isn't a good one) the most recent thing. Marik's identity being revealed, etc? Odeon/Marik. That's all I'm saying on the subject. << >> Okay, that and Marik has become the creepiest thing in the entire show. None of the villians thus far have been so utterly scary. Oh, he's gone arching off the deep end, he has. *shudders* Unfortunately, he took his intelligence with him, which means the vast majority of the characters are screwed.
Oh! And Isis is an idiot! Idiot!!! She has said herself that Odeon must have been restraining Marik's darker side, yet she makes no move to protect/revive him! >:O
Shadi has some excuse; he is a-well, frankly, he's a plot device thus far. Complete tool-of-fate, moves-things-into-position-yet-changes-nothing type. Yugi and Yami? Classic heroic idiocy-can't expect them to break the mold and do something intelligent like reviving Marik's anchor to sanity/ comparative decency.
But Isis! She did so well, trying to manipulate Kaiba so she could help her brother! She got herself into the tournament to help her brother! *wails* Why, Isis? Why won't you help yourbrother's boyfriend *cough* your adoptive older brother? Why?!
Let's see, what else... Oh! Creepiness-Marik and Shadi are the only characters whose eyes have gone all... fuzzy. No distinctions between the black and the color? <<;; Does this mean something about Shadi? O.O Just remembered Kaiba's eyes were that way too, in the very first episode. Before Yami did whatever it was he did to him. o.o *hides because she doesn't want for Kaiba to turn out truly evil or anything, because he is her favorite*
Does anybody remember that Bakura's 'yami' stuck a piece of his own soul in the Millenium Puzzle? Before the Battle City tournament began? Or have the writers themselves forgotten, so that we are left to wonder forever what happened, while that tiny pice is wandering the terrible maze that is Yami's soulroom(s). I fear for it, poor tiny piece of Yami-Bakura! :( *pauses to consider that said entity is probably quite at home in tombs/mazes, and once reaching any part of Yami's conscious mind, might set about playing devil's advocate in the interests of corrupting him. 'Oh go on, surely it won't hurt to play a Shadow Game with Devlin over there? He annoys you, doesn't he?*
Okay, so maybe I shouldn't be concerned there.
Probably there were more things here, but I can't remember them at the moment.
