Not a lot has gone on lately; I've just been working some overtime to earn a little extra cash for vacation.
Me and JennyLou are leaving on Thursday the 14th to head out for about ten days of visiting with her friends and family in Nebraska and South Dakota. In the three years or so since she moved out here, there are still a lot of folks out west who have not met me yet, so we are trying to get a lot of those introductions out of the way.
Personally, I am looking forward to the rest and being away from work for ten days. I don't often take a vacation because I need some time to rest; usually when I take some time off it is just to use some time away from work I have accumulated and need to use before the end of the fiscal year. This vacation I need for the rest, and when I remember how restful the last trip to South Dakota was, I just hope I get a similar recharge.
In other news; I recently watched "Let the Right One In". I loved the movie. One of the best horror movies, or any kind of movies I've seen in a while. As someone who is a professional childcare worker, I am usually very critical of how kids are written and behave in movies. The kids in this movie were very realistic to me.
So after watching the movie I purchased the novel. It was a perfect compliment to the movie; filling in relationship and background questions while not be contrary to anything in the movie at all. I highly recommend both the book and movie, though I would say that if you have some real problems reading a book that is pretty detailed in dealing with a character who is a fucked up, codependant, murderous pedophile then stick with the movie.
How are you all doing?
