Only 2 more days until I am on vacation for a week of blissful couch surfing. biggrin

I can't wait. But first my little brother's 30th birthday on the 15th. I'm making some good food (probably chilli and pulled pork) for his party, and I already dropped a new I-phone on him as a gift. It's nice to spend money on the ones you love, ya...

Holy Shit! Guess what I forgot?

My 2 year anniversary of joining SG! biggrin

It seems like only yesterday I was an impressionable young n00b. Now I get to be a jaded member who says "things were better back when I joined"...well, they were tongue

I still like this place, even though it makes me thump my head down on my desk sometimes. I mean, I've met...

It's been quiet lately, not much to comment on since the superbowl (grrrr).

Today was nice. Neither me or Jenny believe in the whole Valentines day thing, so there is no pressure to blow cash on each other that we can't afford. Although we do look forward to all the good chocolate being discounted tomorrow biggrin

I made a nice dinner tonight...though I fucked it up...

Super Bowl Sunday!!!!!!!

Just passing the time until the Patriots take on the Giants. I think the Pats will take this one, but it is the superbowl, and anything can happen. I'm hoping it is a competitive game, I like to see my team win, but a blow-out is pretty lame for the biggest game of the year.

Last night me and HathOriginal went to...

It's been a rough week. I had to attend the funeral of my aunt Denise the other day. It was tough, because for the first time it seemed like my generation of the family really had to be there for our parents generation. In the past year 2 of my uncles died as well, within 2 days of each other. It has kind of hit...

Pah, I don't have an attitude.

Close, but no dice.

*hugs*

Condolences, hon. 2008 really isn't beginning so great. I think it's left overs from 2007 coming to smack us in the ass and remind of us our place.

Mental venting helps sometimes, others not really. I guess it really depends. I teared up a little looking at photos and a video but then writing that out made me feel better and I was able to fall asleep right after I posted it. Go figure.

I'm not really sure how my family handles the grieving process since I've never been around anyone in my family when someone has passed away. I tend to stay clear of funerals if at all possible. I'm too empathic, I can't handle so many different emotions in one room.

Huzzah, it's x-mas eve and I'm finally done with the shopping.

I just dropped HathOriginal off at the train station, she'll be cat-sitting for a friend in Boston tonight. I will be working the overnight shift, but before then I aim to take a nap and maybe wrap a gift or two. It should be very quiet at work tonight, with only 6 kids instead...

Thank you very much. I'm working on it.
morgan:
I have indeed, it's up on imdb.com as a movie that will be released in 2010. Looks like Ron Perlman is rumored to have a role in it, as well.

I'm excited, I love pretty much everything Del Toro does.

Time for a new journal entry!

Not a lot going on around here. Today I have to make a big pot of chilli for one of my best friends 30th birthday. It's going to be a potluck dinner, and quite a lot of the people going are competent in the kitchen, so it should be a fun time. There will be two big screen tv's...

Okay, I needed to replace the last depressing journal entry, though I don't have much new to say right now. I will say thank you to those who left nice supportive comments on the last journal, I feel lame because I was a bit too busy this past week to reply back. I suck, I know.

This time of year is a mixed bag of...

I feel terrible today. About the field I work in and the fact that it is so overcrowded and mismanaged that people are getting hurt.

I learned today that a boy I used to work with was arrested for sexually assaulting a staff member at the group home he now lives in. He is 17 now, I worked with him when he was a skinny...

Wow. That was a tough and sad read. It's sad that these kids just get shuffled around and will eventually get lost in the system. Just imagining what the 911 call sounded like makes me nauseus. Hopefully the higher ups will open their eyes to this before something worse happens.

.........

Yeah, Black Friday will be quite scary for me. I will be prepared!

Thanks for the comment. But for some reason, the pic hasn't been updated to reflect when I post.

Happy Turkey Day to you two!!!

Why. the fuck. Did I go back to work after my vacation?

I had hoped that a little break would make it less stressfull. I was wrong. In the time I was at home relaxing (which was great), the asshat at work in charge of admitting new residents to our program decided to add in a few more kids from the department of mental health,...

According to IMDB.com, it looks like the actor who is "in talks" to star in The Road is currently Guy Pearce. I feel like Viggo Mortensen would be a better choice, myself, but Pearce could also do a great job.

I'd also say Clive Owen could do well, but he's had enough success as of late that I figure it's time to give someone else a turn!
morgan:
I think they'd both do really well. Though Pearce is less well known, which might be a good thing in this case.
