Long time, no update
We went the the beach for the 4th and I got sunburned (of course), but we had a good time and the kids got along for a change. The fireworks were very nice and it wasn't too crowded since the storm scared off a lot of people.
I have tried to get back to reading, and I finished the book called Feed by M.T. Anderson. Okay it was for kids and it sucked. It was basically where they started implanting an Internet - type "Feed" into people's brains when they are born, so they have access to information but they are also constantly being advertised to; it seems to cause some horrible side-effects to that is never explored. The basic plot was a romance between the 2 main teenagers. I don't recommend for anybody other than maybe a young teenager girl.
I also finished the book, "The Devil wears Prada" and believe it or not, I really liked the book. Okay sometimes the clothing descriptions got on my nerves. The boss Miranda is a first class bitch, she goes beyond 'Queen Bee', she seems to know it and not care. The sub-plot was interesting and hit a little close too home as it reminded me of an ex-friend. I actually want to see the movie on this, but I will wait for it to come out on Dish Network.
On the other fronts, work still stinks, still looking for something else, maybe even a whole different career. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. And I have figured out that the less I deal with my family the better off I am. I still see my one brother and we are actually doing pretty good since we are in agreement that mom is a self-ish bitch.
Oh well, back to work. Maybe I will get time to work on my next book. Oh and thanks to Darthmoo for joining us for lunch last week. :)
