Another long week

I guess time flies when you're having fun...not....it's been okay, I guess. Finished reading Blaze and it was so unlike Stephen King. It's probably because it was one of his earlier works, under Richard Bachman. It's a small paperback so I finished it w/in the week. Still have Duma Key and a new Jonathan Kellerman book to read. Speaking of Jonathan Kellerman I was watching tv earlier and I came upon true crime tv and they had a documentary on a true crime story (hence the name of the channel) but what caught my eye was that it was i guess hosted by Kellerman. It was I guess one of those crimes a person gets involved in in the sense of researching and stuff so i was his take on the crime. Since he is a psychologist, or psychiatrist, who knows it was his opinion of the crime. It is only one of a series of episodes that feature different crime novelists. After it ended there was another episode by a former nyc da turned novelist too. But I had better things to do.

Went to see Jumper last weekend and I have to admit it was okay. Had lots of action, though and I guess that's why it was the #1 movie for the weekend. So what if they never say how he got that power or what organization samuel l jackson's character represents, it was loaded with action and that made it go by real quick. The Oscars are this weekend and as usual I have not seen any of the movies that they talk about. Figures...boring...

There was nothing good on tv this week so i just turned it off. I did watch part 2 of the season finale of monk. Okay so i fell asleep when it came out @8 but i caught it again at 11. Ha ha. Even though the writers strike is over it'll be awhile before new episodes come out. Recorded last week's Knight Rider show but haven't seen it yet. It came out at the same time that Cold Case did but that was a new episode and I'd rather watch that. Oh, and Dexter came out afterwards. I thought it was cool now that they showed it on network tv they cleaned up the language and i guess the violence. I was able to enjoy the plot more. I tried watching it on Showtime but I couldn't get through one episode. Stick to the story, guys.....

Nice sunny day in February

Back again. Haven't been able to post much since I've been very busy the last 2 weekends. The weekend of my birthday we went to visit the family. Like to say it was a barrel of laughs but it wasn't, what else is new? We actually had a girl's night out, Mary, Susy and moi went to see The Bucket List. It was alright, I guess you can call it a dramedy. It was kinda sad sometimes because as you may or may not know the guys had terminal cancer and they make a list of the things they want to do before they kick the bucket. It was funny sometimes but they die at the end and they get buried (their ashes) atop a mountaintop they wanted to see but couldn't because there was too much snow at the time. But other than the movie things were blah....I hate going over there, I always come back in such a lousy mood but I didn't do it for myself. Joel wanted to see his mom, so that's really the only reason I agreed. Anyways, here I am, one year older, one year closer to 40 but not quite yet. All in all, it was okay. The next holiday in sight is Valentine's Day but we don't do that here, not anymore.

This past weekend we had to put in some overtime at work but not this week. Hopefully we'll have a regular schedule for awhile so I won't end the day all tired and stuff. Earlier I actually worked out. I got home at a decent hour, had dinner and rested up a bit and after turning the damn tv off I took to working out. Felt good actually. About time, huh? I actually do enjoy it but because of the surgery I couldn't do it for awhile but now I'm back in the game, although not fully healed, but...

We went to see Meet the Spartans. It was funny but stupid like always. Kinda as if it were written by a couple of teenage boys. Probably geared for that age group too but sometimes we just like to watch silly movies just to laugh. Since the guys at work gave me a gift card for Regal Cinema we wanted to use that but there was nothing good playing there this weekend, so.. Oh, next weekend I want to catch the new one Jumper about this guy that can teleport. You know me, I'm a sucker for sci fi movies especially ones having to do w/time travel and stuff. Actually, I don't think this one is about that but same difference. Couldn't make it to the Asian Festival this year, better luck next year.

Susan gave me The Blaze by Stephen King. It's a small paperback so I started reading it and I'm halfway through already. I still have the other Patricia Cornwell book that I still need to finish, I just need a few more pages to go. After that I can read the new SK one. I'm actually reading two books at a time. Plus, this weekend I bought another Jonathan Kellerman paperback that I really should wait to read until I get to the others.

I was just checking out the Russell Watson website and right now he's going through radiation treatments for, I think, a brain tumor. Hope he gets better soon.
