Hello once again

I’m starting to make these posts just a bit more often so soon I’ll be back to blogging everyday (wait was I ever?). You’ll notice the pretty custom header. Very 2004 yes but it’s appropriate for the work I’m doing right now. Although my job is a lot of work at the end of the day I like the feeling that I’m doing my part to help for the elections in 2006 & 2008. I’m definitely not saying I want to make a career out of politics but I want to do what I can. I really want to see change in this country. We’ve gone so far down hill since 2001 and I’m afraid to see what things will look like in the future if we don’t change the majority in the congress and senate NOW. I could really go off here but I’m not going to. I deal with it enough during the week and get my fair share of debates on a daily basis.

I’m halfway through The Devil Wears Prada and I hope to finish it by next weekend so I can check out the movie. I’m planning to see POTC this week one night after work and hopefully catch Superman in the next two weeks. I’m not sure what else is coming out this summer, so for right now those are my top 3 “must see” movies.

I had to leave work early on Friday because my back was aching so bad. Even with the holiday off it felt like a long week (I worked Monday) for me. The 4th was good. It it easy, took in two parties during the afternoon and then caught some fireworks with my mom and watched Syriana while consuming the wonderful Coconut Cake from Andronicos which I picked up on the way home from the last party. My mom had just gotten back from a drive with my stepfather to Oregon and I hadn’t seen her in a few days so I figured cake and George Clooney were a good way to spend the evening (stepfather stayed in Oregon to work). I have vision issues and couldn’t see the subtitles half of the time and quickly lost interest and fell asleep and by the end my mom had enough of it. I’ll try it again when it’s on HBO. Another movies I’ve caught on DVD the past two weeks: Eight Below (I cried the entire way though) and Failure to Launch (can’t stand SJP) both were decent although Eight Below didn’t have much of a plot.

I’m hearing some coyotes outside. It doesn’t sound like they’re too far off. Time to turn in.

My Current Read
