Things and such
* I think I have a TV hangover from this past week/weekend. Y'all, I watched a crap ton of stuff in the last 10 days. In the moment that is always fun but after, when you have to go back to the real world, it's not so good. It's been a long time since I've gone on a "bender" like that and uh..yeah. I dunno. I just feel kinda crappy, I guess.
*This is not helped by the fact that we are into the slow season (for my job at least) at work. Panels are over, and I am waiting for other people to finish their stuff before I can do my stuff, and...yeah. Sloowwww. So that makes it hard to be motivated. I really wish I was the kind of person who can find stuff to work on during the slow periods, but I really am not. I'm more of the kind of person who loses momentum once the wheel stops spinning. Supposedly there is work coming my way but it has yet to appear.
*Also I was going along fine and dandy and not really worrying about the security of my job, but everyone else is worrying, (including my dad) and so naturally, now I am starting to worry. Please don't cut my job, government. I need it.
* I have yet to make resolutions this year, but am feeling the need. Is the end of January too late? On the one hand, I really want to make some, but on the other hand, I feel like they would be the same old ones i always make and never stick to, so what is the point? Maybe I should try to break them down into smaller goals? I dunno. I feel like the stuff I want to work on isn't all that difficult, it just requires a little bit of effort from me. This also might have to do with me turning (gulp) 30 in two months. I feel like my life needs to get more together. Maybe I will work on a list and post it here, so you all can keep me accountable.
* One of the many things I saw over the past 10 days is The Social Network. Maybe I am missing something but umm...I don't get the hype. The story itself was interesting, as I had no idea how Facebook started (and that it actually did take shape when I was still in school - I thought it was something that appeared after I graduated) but the actual movie...meh. It was nothing special, you know? Snappy Sorkin writing and good performances from actors does not make the best film of the year, IMO. But hey, if I am missing something, please let me know.
* Katherine comes back from her whirlwind trip to Dangerous Place in the World (including fucking Pakistan) today. She's been gone for more than two weeks and was only at the house for maybe 5 days before leaving. Now she is back full time, and I gotta admit, it's going to be a little weird. I love her and she is a fun person to live with, but I'm so used to having it just be Jeff and me (and only two people instead of three) so..yeah. It will be an adjustment.
*Speaking of the house, we are getting a new washer and dryer this week! yay! Considering the ones currently there are from like 1974 and don't work well, this is very exciting.
*It's fucking cold here. Fucking. Cold. I don't like January, y'all.
What's going on in your lives, flist? This is me, trying to get back into the land of LJ.
