Gene’s in VA. Dogs are at the kennel. CAR is still in shop. So, internet, it’s just you, me and the Altima. I take back my earlier dismissal of the Altima. While I’m still relieved I didn’t buy one, it’s kind of fun to drive a car with a little pep. The Murano is too…

Movie Reviews
1) Brokeback Mountain : ***1/2 out of 4. I enjoyed it very much. I was impressed at how quiet and spare it was. There were a lot of gay cowboy jokes out there because of the movie. It was the point of the movie, but I didn’t feel it was especially overstated. Effing A, it…
So, on the topic of Plan B…
Gene and I were talking yesterday night and he said the most surprising thing: He said that he had thought about eliminating the rest of the waiting time to start the whole Plan B thing (mekkin’ zee bebbies). He admitted that his motivations were the absolute worst: he was hoping that Plan B would come…
Hell on Earth…
This morning I had a dream I was auditioning for American Idol and I forgot the words and titles of every song I know. I don’t know what’s worse, the auditioning for AI part or the forgetting the words part. I don’t even watch the show and have a dislike that reaches violent by the…
Stupid Things I’ve Done Today…
Actually, it’s a stupid thing I did yesterday. It was so mortifying that I actually couldn’t talk about it at all yesterday. When I fuck up, I fuck up and when I fuck up to the point where I actually feel guilty or embarassed or whatever, it goes like this: “Oh FUCK I shouldn’t have…
I think…
I may ask for a year of Typepad for my birthday. Their basic service is $50 a year. My concern is that there’s no way to transfer all of my Blogger posts over to a new site. If Blogger would only let me catagorize (and imagine the catagories! “Stupid posts about dogs” “Mahjobiscrappis” “Family Stuff”…
Work Stinks!
So, I got my review Thursday or Friday. (The days run together). My raise is pretty small. I’m not sure what a cost of living raise looks like, but it’s probably pretty close. More money is always more money so that’s a good thing. The review itself was mostly positive. I was dinged repeatedly for…
Nerds Ahoy!
(Can you BELIEVE I haven’t used that as a post title yet?) Anyway, the geeks are here. I guess they’re back to hexing me on an every-Saturday basis. Woohoo! On the bright side, at least this means there’s one night a week where I’m not cooking dinner (because they always order Pizza Hut). On the…
Wheee!!
News on the MIL: None at this time. She’s been home from the hospital since Monday. I’ve spoken to her and she sounds good, but tired. She actually had to get off the phone one of those times because she was too tired to talk. That’s a rarity for my MIL! Unrelated, but here’s what’s…
The latest…
This past week has been exhausting. Work has been weird, and when it’s been weird, it’s been busy too. I think there are major changes coming for my employer. I don’t think it will directly affect (effect? I don’t remember) my position. I think the changes will be good overall. But, the homefront has been…
