Nothing really happened today

But I'm trying to write here more often so I'm doing an entry anyway.
Still reading U is for Undertow and watching The Dead Zone. Am I supposed to be impressed when the high level executive calls in security to escort the minor annoyance out of his office? It's supposed to show power, right? Personally I've never needed armed intervention to win my own arguments so why is it a mark of status to be able to call in the guards? Once you make money you no longer need to be intelligent?
Wow, I'm tired and that probably makes no sense. I did something entirely new at my internship today and I'm not sure if I actually did it right so either next week I'll get kudos or have to complete the task all over again. I think for the most part it went well but there are sure to be certain issues that need ironing out.
I have left over fries for tomorrow and that's a nice thought.
Playing Dark Fall 3: Lost Souls. Atmospheric and creepy but lacking in content. I've decided that the main character is having some sort of hallucination after OD-ing on vodka and clozapine. It's much more non-intuitive than the other games in the series, but the sound effects are really rather disturbing. Well, these things can be hit or miss.

Work was incredibly slow. Tuesdays are generally not busy but I think a lot of people were freaked by the thought of more bad weather. Time dragged. Went up to sneak a peek at the new exhibit. One half will be new and interesting and the other half is filled with art that shouldn't have been let out of the 1970's. I anticipate being bored of it about half a day after it opens.
New art installation, very colorful though apparently not quite done yet.
Tomorrow is my internship day and hopefully I won't be sent into the card catalogs again. How did anyone ever find anything? And if you're going to create a See Also card, why not just put the information on that card along with the reference to the alternative name? The people who make those cards up know what the future searchers are looking for; just cut out that middle step. You're already using an extra card.
Watching The Dead Zone on Netflix. Fun concept that doesn't quite do it for me but entertaining nonetheless. I find the main character a bit too passive but he has other good qualities so eh. Sort of reminds me of Millennium only the main character in that had credentials and less dramatic visions. That was a great show. I love the episode where the four demons are sitting around the coffee shop talking about the souls they've corrupted and the one demon relates some story about a network censor he pushed to rampage. The demon appeared to the guy as a little dancing demon baby thing and after the murders/suicide he dances around the crime scene, only nobody can see him but Frank. Who has this great moment where he discretely checks around him, "anyone else notice this thing? Just me? Okay." John from The Dead Zone would've made sure everyone noticed him seeing the invisible dancing demon and it would be 'dramatic' rather than just funny. But still. Good show.
