Another month goes by

Hey there, here it is the 27th day of January. My, my how time flies when you're having fun.....not...

Yesterday while out running errands I got my hands on the new Stephen King book Duma Key. Wow, it's thicker than I'd thought. Oh well, I still have to wait until I finish reading the Patricia Cornwell novel that I'm reading right now. I'm in the middle of two books and I really need to finish one before I attempt to start another. This one has taken me longer because i don't have time to read at work now, so any little time I have to read is nearly gone.

I finally got to watch Knocked Up last weekend. BORING. Sure, it had it's moments but it was too slow for me, had a hard time staying interested. This last week brought some new episodes to tv. Criminal Minds was new, as was Monk and Psych. I'm sorry to say that I didn't quite finish watching Psych because I dozed off. Not because it was boring (far from it) but by the time Friday comes along I am stone tired from working all that overtime. At least this week we'll finally get a new House episode. Yea....as well as Smallville and Supernatural (about time). Thursday is also my birthday, my 21st, again. Ha!

Did you hear about Heath Ledger. Yep another celebrity dead. Don't know much about him but he seemed nice because at least he wasn't a tabloid celebrity.

Need to go finish reading that damn book once and for all.

BBBRRRR it's cold out there

Well, as predicted it is a cold January day out there. Sure, last week was nice and sunny but the closer it gets to the 31st the colder it gets. It never fails. Went out earlier to do some errands but hurried come cuz it was cold. Usually I venture out early in the morning before the crazies do but today i waited a little bit so at least it would be too cold. It was 38degrees with a wind chill of 29. At least I didn't have to go to work today.

Watched some new episodes last night: Moonlight, Monk and Psych. Actually, i opted to watch moonlight instead of monk (they come out at the same time) even though i was recording it. Couldn't wait. I'm pretty sure they'll show monk again and again. And again. It was a good episode of ML when Mick becomes temporarily human again after Coraline gives him "the cure". It came at her expense because she was captured and take away by her brother who is also a vampire. We'll see if the show comes back with the way things are right now. I hope it does. Psych was also good. It had the guys checking in the dad as a senior in one of those senior living communities to be able to investigate the case of one of the residents going missing. It was funny, of course. That one has a local san antonian in the mist, so..... hopefully it'll get to watch monk this week too before friday since they have new episodes then too.

In politics this week, it was the Nevada caucus. That's all I know. I used to follow politics before but now it's just a bore. Used to vote too. Used to. Don't anymore because i don't want my vote going to the republican since texas usually votes republican. That's in the case that I would vote democrat but I've also gone rep before, so you never know. But I don't think I'm voting this time around because I think I would vote dem and you know that texas always votes rep in the end. I don't want them getting my vote.

I want to make another cd to take to work of all the new songs i have so i gotta go..

Greetings for 2008

Okay, so maybe the new year is two weeks old but give me a break here, I've been super busy working a nearly 50 hour week. That's the only thing I'll say about that........

I've also been busy completing my assignment at the last minute like always. You'd think that by now I'd learned my lesson but nnnooo....maybe the next time will be different....not...

We finally got around to going to the movies again after a long hiatus. This time it was National Treasure. Sure, it was long (almost two hours) and had a convoluted plot (hello, the city of gold hidden inside Mt Rushmore) but it was a fun movie but plenty of action. I liked it. So boo hoo with all the so called experts that said it was a bad movie. The public liked it and that's all that matters. Hello!! It's been the #1 movie for three weeks in a row. I say if you like a nice, family friendly (Disney) movie, go for it. If not, go screw yourself....ha ha

Well, believe it or not there are still new episodes on tv....for now...this week I caught a new epi of Criminal Minds. It was cool with an ending that you hardly see. The guy holding a shotgun and threatening to shoot a killer actually pulled the trigger. Cool..not that killing is good but as a writer myself I appreciate a good plot twist. Last night I also watched MoonLight, which by the way, won the people's choice award for new drama..yea....it was also interesting because the lady's boyfriend (gees, I forget her name) gets killed and while Mick had a chance to revive him by "turning" him he refused. Now he says it's because he didn't want to curse him by making him a vampire and by giving her the whole "he's human, these things happen" routine but one can only wonder if he was doing it because he was his competition for her affection. HMM...one can only speculate. I think it was a little bit of both. Come on, who can resist doing away with the competition, right? Anyways, I rather enjoyed the will he or will he not die suspense. I swear, I thought he was gonna make it at the last minute but alas the powers that be denied us a happy ending again....(see the Criminal Minds summary).

Right now I'm trying to finish reading Patricia Cornwell's new book The Book of the Dead. Trying to because I no longer have time to read at work because since we all take breaks at the same time I usually spend it hanging out w/the coworkers and stuff so now I only have time to read at home which I hardly ever do cause I get home exhausted and all I wanna do is veg out. Anyways, my other Christmas gift was Juanes new CD. It's pretty good but I like the previous better, probably because I've been listening to it longer. I guess like with everything else it will take some getting used to.
Now this is me with some of my nephews. They actually agreed to take a picture which is rare. Must have been a christmas miracle. Of course one of them had ulterior motives. He wanted a new picture of himself for his myspace site. I of course complied. Why not, it was a time to be giving.




Now this is a picture of a palm tree at the parentals. When we first moved in and dad planted it it was ssoo small, now check it out. It only took 20 years for it to grow. Ha ha that's hilarious, I don't know why, it just is.






This morning I spent it doing errands, like always but when I went to Walmart to pick up some pictures., yes, I actually had to drop them off to be developed, there was some old lady taking forever, man. From what I could hear, they couldn't find her pictures and the clerk was trying to fill out some paperwork for her. Needless to say it took forever and I just told the guy, "you know what, I don't have time for this " and just walked away. Freaking pissed me off and it almost ruined my whole morning. But it didn't. I just went on and finished doing my shopping and left. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow but the suspense is killing me. I found that roll of film while cleaning out the kitchen drawers. Can you believe that? I don't even know what pictures are in there so I can't wait to see.

Gotta go, plenty to do.
