busy like a bee

In the past three days, I have primarily done five things:
1) Finished writing my annual performance review. There are no words for how much I loathe the practice of having to review my own performance. It's the time of year I dread the most. How to highlight all your accomplishments without seeming pompous? How to talk about things that could have gone better without sounding incompetent? How to talk about my career development, when I haven't got a clue? It's like having to apply for college every year, without the convenience of solid test scores to speak partially for me. Fingers now crossed for a nice raise + bonus this year.
2) Finished writing IYOK6. All right, so this wasn't accomplished just by my onesy, but since the damn thing is 46 pages long, I figure Jade and I each wrote a normal-sized chapter. We still have to tighten it up a bit and go through one more round of beta, and then it shall be posted to Magical Mayhem as an exclusive for a week.
3) Purchased a couple of Betsey Johnson dresses. (They don't cost quite as much on eBay.) They're so girly. I love. Wanna see pictures? Here's one. Here's the other. Also got this pretty Nicole Miller dress -- original retail price was $365. Jesus God.
4) Played Beyond Good and Evil on my Xbox. Seriously, you can't get a better video game for $20 (or less if you buy online). ( Cut as I go on and on about the game. )
5) Listened to the awesomely fun mixed CD I made. It has some really good music on there (like Rebekah Del Rio's "Llorando" from Mulholland Drive and Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved"), but there are three -- count them, THREE -- Britney Spears songs. :"> I believe they're all from her new album. I can't help it, they're so good!
And just randomly...
6) Oh, and I didn't do this in the last three days, but rather, last week -- watched The Station Agent and really enjoyed it. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a quietly feel-good film. (Has moments of clunkiness, but I loved all the characters -- especially JOe.)
7) ( Automatically generated D/G drabble. You know you want to look. It has a catchy title. )
