Good bye March

well, here it is another month gone by. spring is officially here and the flowers and trees are starting to bloom. yes, trees and in this case it's the oak tree i'm talking about. i'm suffering through the annual oak season. bad allergies. had to take some claritin and even that doesn't help 100%. i guess nothing does. one pill is supposed to last 24 hours but you know how that goes. at least i know it's only for a few weeks and this is the only thing i'm allergic to so i say: bring it on!!

easter came and went w/out much ado. at least around our household it did. that's the beauty of living far away from any family. no family obligation. none of that: we have to go to mom's today or the inlaws.. aww.. peace and quiet rules.

got the last assingment i turned in: it was okay. for the next one i need to turn in a 1,000 word personal essay. i guess i should start thinking about what i'm going to write it on since it's due by april 27 and i always put it off until the last possible moment. procrastination is my middle name.

hey, i heard that penn and monica seles where the first ones to get the boot on dwts. i watched a couple of them dance but it's not really catching my attention. i hear kristi yamaguchi is good and so it that girl that came out on 13 ghosts but i'm not even going to waste my time. there is nothing else on really, but.....i tried watching canterbury's law but it's not that good so i just watch new amserdam on monday nights. tuesdays suck cuz i don't watch american idol and wednesdays right now suck too cuz there's no new episodes of nothing yet. smallville and reaper have new episodes on the cw on thursdays so that's good. supernatural won't be back for a couple of weeks. on this last episode of smallville i think brainiac killed lana. not sure yet. in april there's the new season of dr who on the sci fi channel (rules) but i guess dresden files won't be back but the awfully boring battlestar galactica will. there is no justice in this world, i tell you, no justice. i tried watching it but i couldn't get into the story. i guess all sci fi wasn't created equal.

the juanes concert is next saturday so stay tuned for a review next week. next week is also our 7th wedding anniversary.

since it's the weekend i usually bring the book that i'm reading home to read but i guess i must have forgotten it. oh well, another week to finish reading it. it's taking forever because there is way too much drama at work that i don't have time to read there anymore.

oh, april brings all those family birthdays but i guess i won't be sending anyone anything this year. maybe

Let it rain mud

Good wednesday afternoon everyone. Just got back from work and realized i needed to do some update because I've been gone awhile. Yes, last night it finally rained but because of the wind and dust around here we got mud instead. You should see it, almost every car out there is all muddy including mine. Some have already been to the carwashes but not me.

It is springbreak time and here we are still working. It wasn't invented for the common man, or woman. Last weekend we actually considered going to the beach but then i realized that it was in the middle of spring break so we've postponed it. Again.

Went to the 10,000 BC and it was actually pretty good. Okay, so it won't win any oscars next year but it was good entertainment. We still had some money left in the gift card that i got at work for my b-day so we only paid a dollar. Cool.

The new season of dancing w/the stars started this week and i tried to watch it when Penn was the first one on the dance floor. It was then that i decided that i'd skip it this season. There's noone worth watching this season, just like the last one, i didn't watch last year either. American Idol is also on but it's boring, there's no Sanjaya this year to make fun of and watch every week to see if he's finally kicked out. Boring. The only new show worth watching this time is New Amsterdam when they go back and explore his past lives, that's cool. I think it's interesting that his son right now is 65 years old, older than him. It shows the passage of time because he's been married w/children so many times. I guess that's the drawback of being immortal. You meet people, they grow old and die and you're left alone until you meet new people. Interesting. There won't be any new House episodes until next month, along with all the other shows.

Still trying to finish reading the book i started but i don't have any time at work right now so it's usually only on the weekends that i read, so.....got the next section of my textbook and i was reading through it. I also need to start reading up on my next assignment so i won't be caught unprepared like last time. I skimped it last week and it's going to be my choice, a story or an article but is still don't know. I'm leaning towards article but i'm gonna wait until i hear from ernest so he can give me his opinion.

until next time... :)

Is it cold or is it hot?

Well, this is south texas, isn't it? The weather around here has been crazy to say the least. This morning it was in the 40's and right now i believe it is 80. It's almost officially spring time, so.....We're coming on to daylight savings time again. Yea....finally, i hate winter because it's dark by 5 o'clock. Bring on the summer daylight. The days are longer and getting out of work late doesn't feel too back because it's still light out.

Last night was the primary elections here in Texas. From what I hear Senator Clinton won the popular vote but who knows in the end what it all means, what with the caucus and everything. I myself didn't vote but maybe in November, maybe....

Since I already finished reading the sk book i had for awhile and the joel osteen one i think this weekend i'll pick up the new one i bought, Duma Key. No wait, I'm still reading The Rage. Damn, i thought i was finally free. Not yet.

Hey, last night i caught the premiere of New Amsterdam. It's a new show that comes out after American Idol (didn't watch that). It's okay i guess, don't wanna get hooked before it gets yanked off the air like everything else. Anyways, it's about this cop (of course) who is immortal (of course), but before you play it off, he will only become mortal after he meets his true love and yesterday on the pilot he had a heart attack and died (he later woke up in the morgue, of course). supposedly his true love was somewhere close to him so he needs to find out who it is because, as he put it, sometimes death can be a relief. He's been alive for hundreds of years, since the 1600 or so. Seems interesting because it kinda has some time travel when they show his "previous lives" we'll see how it goes. If it gets too girly....forget about it....:)

As of today, the Juanes concert is a month away, i can't wait. Now, i know i traded in the phantom of the opera for this show but now that it's being advertised i really want to go to this one too. it's playing here until march 23 so maybe this weekend i'll get the tickets, i hear it's really exciting...can you say falling chandelier? we'll see...
