In 4 days I will be back home, stuffing my face with pizza and getting drunk with my friends from high school.
Next week is our annual bar crawl.
There will be cold weather, no leaves on the trees, and I'll start tawkin like a Noo Yawkuh again cawz I'm shawh my accent'll come out once I'm around my friends.
I spent all weekend uploading my CD's into my iPod, which I brought in to work today.
This week is crunch week at the office as we prepare to close for 2 weeks for the holidays. Today, tomorrow and all the way through Wednesday is all about breaking down scripts. Normally it takes me a day or two to break a script down, but with this being the end of the year, every writer working on one of our projects turned in new drafts so I had a severe backlog that needed to get done. In the past two weeks, I've broken down three drafts of LUKE CAGE, two drafts of FANTASTIC FOUR, and a draft of GHOST RIDER. Tomorrow IRON MAN is on deck, and if I can get that done tomorrow DEATHLOK will be next or that will just have to wait until Wednesday.
Christmas vacation = fun.
Week leading up to Christmas vacation = pain in the ass.
So the big news is that they caught Saddam. I was reading the recount of his capture by the soldiers on the mission. All his fucking bluster and big talk and showing off with firing that rifle into the air and all the parades and he gives up without so much as a punch being thrown. Fucking figures. Petty tyrant to the very end. Just like Hitler. All talk with zero balls to back it up.
It's great that he got caught, and I admit part of me is optimistic that this means good things for the future of the human race, but after you look past the surface, this all just seems like another in America's long string of diposing dictators we helped place in power to begin with. But I guess no one wants to mention that. I've seen plenty of "We got 'im" headlines. I haven't seen many "We put 'im there to begin with" headlines. But I guess I can't fault people for being happy about this. It's the first positive thing that's happened for us since "the war ended." People needed some hope, and I guess they got some which I suppose isn't such a bad thing in the long run.
I just hope this doesn't mean that rat fuck President of ours is going to get reelected. I haven't checked to see if any approval polls have come out since Hussein was caught, but I'm sure when they do the next one Bush will be back on top. Fortunatley the American people are fickle, and there's almost a year until the election, so I can still hold out hope.
We're supposed to have employee reviews this week at work. I've been working my ass off in the hopes of getting a promotion, which I was sort've told i was getting last year but it never ended up happening. I've decided that if all I get is a great bonus, a raise, and some more stock options I'll just take it and keep my mouth shut. I was sort've upset over the whole thing because I feel like I've earned the title I want, but then I realized that I have no idea what hte future holds for me and the money won't hurt, so I might as well shut up and be happy about it. It's not like I hate my job. I fuckin love it. It would be stupid of me to throw it away over something as stupid as letting my ego get offended that I didn't get some title that doesn't really matter anyway except to make me feel more important.
I'll just keep plugging away at work, and apply myself in my off time to actually finishing the scri[pt I've been kicking around for about 2 years now, getting it to an agent and then becoming a paid working wirter. Yeah, that's all I have to do.
