i woke up today wishing that the weekend was three days instead of two but that's probably no different than the rest of the working class folk.
it was a pretty low key weekend. last weekend was my first real free weekend and i spent it practicing wolfenstein enemy territory. this weekend i did a few errands and chores but mostly stayed in bed and watched queer as folk. my dad hooked me up with the second season and i haven't been able to stop watching it ever since. i'm down to the last three episodes. i even got jeremy hooked on it. it's kinda cool knowing you're with an open minded hetero who doesn't mind watching two or three men get it on. sometimes i still have my suspicious. :) anyhow, i remember the first time i saw two guys kissing on screen. it was that bruce willis and richard gere movie. i forget what it's called. i remember gasping because i couldn't believe that bruce willis would do that. it's amazing sometimes how secure some men can be compared to others. i know guys who willl kick you out their car if you even mention anything related to same sex relationships.
anyhow, the series is really cool. i wish i had started with the first season, now i'll have to go back. i actually think i like it better than sex and the city and that's f-ing crazy. jeremy says its because it's grittier and more perverse. i think though that it's more because of its darker themes and deeper emotional connections.
i have quilting class today. this weekend i went and bought cloth to start a quilt. i'm going to do the boring old patchwork quilt. it's a start i suppose. i'm too lazy right now to cut the squares. if i had a better work space, maybe i'd be more motivated.
oh god. i almost choked on my dr. pepper. i just saw this old guy pass through the office window. he wasn't wearing a shirt and he had on these bright purple shorts. i wish it was appropriate for women to go around half naked. i'm sure a bunch of men wish that too.
i'm on my lunch break. i'm taking a longer one that usual today..the full one hour..because no one but the office manager is in. i don't know why i always feel guilty for taking a normal lunch break. i mean, i work 10 hour days for gods sake and i don't get paid a dime for any hours over the standard 8. but blah blah blah.
i'm tired. i want to go home and take a nap. i wish i had a place closer to my work. i'd go home for lunch every day and crash out. hehe.
we have a match tonight against clan ND80 gold. They are notorious for not showing up to their matches so maybe i'll get another free night tonight. I'm going to watch the rest of the queer as folk episodes.

those damn good writers
hmmm. sometimes i wonder why i keep an online journal at all. i guess mostly for myself because i feel this need to every once in a while come out of my recluse little hole and shout some crap out.
i read interesting blogs/journals online and i think. damn. now that's f-ing entertainment.. i wish i had those kinds of skills. and the odd thing is that nothing really interesting has to happen to you for you to write interesting things. but nothing happens to me and i write nothing of interest. :)
i mean, every once in awhile, i'll got on a rampage and start ranting about the usuals.. politics, social commentary, and stupid people.. i wonder if it's all just about perspective. the great thing about good blog/journal writers is that they find whit, humor, and insight in the most mundane things. they pay attention to the details or they articulate their emotions effectively.
hmmm.. so yeah. go you awesome writers..

what is weekend?
and yet another weekend has passed and i'm still up at the office working.
this month, i haven't seen a single free weekend. i'm pushing around 80 hours of work this week. i would complain but i actually love my job. i'm just getting tired and i don't have any kind of energy outside of work. we have been working on a competition due this thursday. i somehow got put in charge of the bulk of the project. it's been a pretty amazing ride. i don't know what i'll do when i actually have nights and weekends free.
yeah. so that's my status right now. i have quite a long night ahead of me. i keep saying i'll be back after blah blah blah..but things keep coming up. SO. hopefully, i'll be back to my life after this week. :)
