Monday Blues

Well, here it is--the start of another week and everything seems calm. Just doing a quick update cuz there's alot of other stuff i need to get done-namely my assignment that's only half done and i need to finish it today. it's due by sunday the 27th. yeah, like always, at the last minute. but true genius is being able to work under pressure :)

this weekend saw "the forbidden kingdom" and it was pretty good, i liked it. the geek that i am i like martial arts movies. although if you're looking to make sense out of it you're out of luck. it's about this american kid who gets transported to ancient china to return a staff that's been long lost. it has pretty cool moves and it's sometimes funny too.

friday was finally the premiere of dr who on sci fi. it was an hour and a half episode and it was pretty cool. so far he doesn't have a companion but i hear that will soon change. it was cool when they asked him who he was and he answered "i'm the dr. i am a time lord....903 years old and about the save your life and the life of billions, if that's okay with you" of course i'm paraphrasing but it was cool when he said it. this week is also (today) a new episode of bones. i'll see if i have time to watch it since it's 6:38 and i still have to work on my assignment. and write down the notes about work......and.....oh, this week is also a new episode of smallville and supenatural. smallville's cool cause last week lex killed his dad and, like, turned totally evil and stuff...lol...but seriously, i guess that was the turning point for him because he "killed off" his good side and now there's noone to keep him from turning totally evil. i don't know what supernatual's gonna be about but it's bound to be cool. the x-files movie is coming out this summer. hope it's a good one.

Finally some quiet time

Boy, i know it's been awhile but work has kept me really busy, but no more, no more overtime....for now......

so, what's new? well, around her nothing much, really, except that last saturday was awesome. Went to the Juanes concert and it did not disappoint. the only thing i regret is that i didn't take my camera to snap a few pictures to share. went w/hubby--his first concert believe it or not-he claims he liked it but who knows, he might be saying that just to make me happy in which case thanks....but overall i liked it, it was cool. It was cool that i knew all of the songs except the last one. He played "rebellion" whatever that is . Only one moment of equipment malfunction during Gotas De Agua Dulce but the professionals that they are they saw it through, minus him playing the guitar. Bought a tshirt to commemorate the event and i hope i get to see him again sometime.

Just saw a clip of him playing the song Dificil and it was nice. It was unplugged somewhere in Dutch country but it was really nice, the song itself is so sad....
skipped the movies last weekend because i actually went shopping, bought a few items of clothing. Maybe tomorrow we'll catch a movie or something. something.
had to take Maggie to the vet for her heartworm test, everything came out okay and i loaded up on six more months of meds.

April is really busy for our family, we have several birthdays this month. today is alyssa's b-day, she turns 14. already mom is anxiously waiting for a quincianera next year but alyssa doesn't want one. can't say i blame her, that is so old fashioned. i didn't have one, her mom didn't either so.....mary said she might just take her and some of her friends to a theme park for the day, like fiesta texas or something so that might be better. i hope so. alex turned 6 yesterday and marcos turned 17 on the 4th. those are all mary's kids, all on the same month. :)
david's high school graduation is next month too so it's gonna be a busy one, with mother's day, which we will no doubt have to travel (can't say i'm looking forward to it on account that i hate going over there but oh well)

last night watched canterbury's law--it was alright, the lady almost got disbarred for jury tampering in the last case but in true "house" fashion she and her associates blackmailed the guy that was out to get her and she got off easier than she would of. that's cool.
the new season of dr who is soon to come out, i hope i don't miss it because i rarely watch the sci fi network. oh, i also watched eli stone thursday night. he helped out this guy because he kept seeing him in a vision of the future that he was gonna be making speeches and stuff but at the end it was all about him, he was the one that was being celebrated in those speeches. also cool.
monday was time to watch new amsterdam. too bad it was last week and i can't remember what it was about so i won't even try but this coming monday is the season finale. season finale. i hope it's not also the series finale cuz you know how that goes.

April Fool's Day

It doesn't really matter that it is april fool's day cuz noone i know pulls off any pranks anymore. in my world it was just another day. and that is fine with me.

saturday we finally went to the movies again and watched Superhero Movie. Yes, it was one of those spoofs but you know what? it was funny. it had its moments. it centered mostly around the spiderman story but had elements of batman and the xmen. among others it also starred leslie nielsen, a really funny guy. i do have something to say about all the stuff that happens before the movie actually begins. by this i mean the endless commericals, especially the one about the lexus. totally unnecessary and annoying. the movie was scheduled to begin at 12:15. yeah, yeah, we go to the matinees but so what, we have other stuff to do and very little time to get it done. back to the subject at hand: it didn't start until 12:30 or so. we got there early, so we spent 45 minutes just sitting around watching commericals. i don't even do that at home. if i'm watching tv at home and commericals come out i quickly change the channel. too bad i can't do that at the theatre. oh, and at one time the screen was frozen. we were, like, hello, stop making out up there and fix the damn thing. but i guess if you want to watch a movie and not have to wait until it comes out on dvd it is just another necessary evil to put up with. i guess i talked less about the movie and more about the circumstances but there's nothing much to say. it was a spoof of the superheroe movies. enough said.

watched some of dwts last night but no one had that wow factor. we'll see who gets kicked out this week. not that it matters to me, they're all boring. i did enjoy watching new amsterdam. the db of the week turned out to be a relative. more like his great, great grandson or something like that. he tried telling, oh, my god i forgot the name, well, the woman he likes, he tried to tell her the truth but she did not believe him. actually, he did tell her the truth but she just got angry and accused him of lying to her again. new episode next week. actually there's new episodes of old shows coming up too.

well, easter has come and gone and get ready for the barrage about mother's day. from now until may that's all we're gonna hear about. plus, we have most of our family bdays this month. can you believe that? there's marcos, alex, alyssa, tricia and luis. the oldest niece turns 20 this month. wow, i feel old.
