One can get really reflective...

When one is stuck home, on the computer, on a Saturday night, whistling "Oh Canada" (I kid you not), speaking in the third person, one knows they should really be more active in trying to get a decent social life.

I know Holly wanted to go dancing tonight, but I didn't have the car (I had previously okayed my brother with using it and I couldn't very well take it back). Plus Holly would just want to go to Port'O'Call to dance and I really cannot stand the place. Though at least that place is not Club Axis. That place of full of people with IDs faker then Pamela Anderson's bustline. I am turning into a boring old fuddy duddy. I don't even feel like drinking tonight (though after the other night I am due for a rest).

Finally started reading up on Australian politics again after the Mark Latham shock win in the Labor leadership race. Though I am extremly amused at the Australian Democrats Leader having to step aside after abusing the Liberal Whip. The ADs are dead. I cannot be happier. Hopefully the Australian Greens will become the minor party with the balance of power in the Australian Senate by winning most of the AD's seats that are up for election next year. At least one knows where they stand with the Greens like it or lump it, and not get the constant run around the ADs are famous for.

I really need to start buying my Christmas presents. I do not want to be one of these people in a big rush and tizzy on Christmas Eve trying to find the perfect present.

Heh. I just remembered that Lennie was suppose to call me yesterday to see if I wanted to go to the movies with him. He must be mad that I blew him off the Friday before hand (but if he saw how much I drank the night before (Thanksgiving) he would understand). I'll call him tomorrow to arrange another time. Then again, it may of been a blessing in disguise. I know he wanted to see "The Last Samurai", a movie I have no interest in period.

Talking about movies I want to see, I downloaded the trailer to "Alien vs Predator" last night. The trailor was sub-standard and nothing special, but the small featurette by the director looked very interesting. While I have never been a fan of crossing over franchises, I have to admit, as a huge fan of the "Alien" series (I think "Alien 3" is grossly under-rated), I do get a spine-tingling shiver of anticipation with the movie. Plus from the featurette, the movie is going to fill in ALOT of the backstory to the mythos.

Buh Humbug. I am going to find my "Coldplay" CD. I need some decent music in my head. Or I can just dig up that live cover of Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice" which I hace somewhere on this computer...

Bad Chinese Good and A Three Day Growth

I am really starting to distrust the meteorologistThere is just nothing like eating your dinner in front of the computer. Even better when one is eating Chinese food for that said dinner in front of the computer. I can feel the MSG flood threw my veins even as we speak. Mongolian Beef, Sweet & Sour Pork, Chow Mein & Fortune Cookies. Life cannot be sweeter (well until one has the cheesecake for desert, then life is the sweetest!)

Even though having dinner at 3:00pm MST does seem a little early even by my standards.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is sitting on the coffee table waiting to be watched, I am not sure I care to see it. I have never been much of a Johnny Depp fan (though I do enjoy Geoffrey Rush & Keira Knightley). Maybe I will not watch it. I don't feel like DVDing tonight.

There was a Lobbyist Trainee session being run by the LWV and Sierra Club down in Sandy tonight. I did think about going, but Sandy is so far away for something I already have properly done before (these sessions are not that original) and frankly... Sandy scares me.

Oh, I really need to shave. But I hate shaving. But then again I hate growth on my face. Oh the conundrum...

I am really starting to distrust the meteorologist

Today according to the Weather report last week was suppose to be chilly and snowing and just plan damp and miserable with various Arctic like blizzards making life difficult.

Yet when I woke up this morning, it was sunny, not a cloud in the deep blue sky and a mildly tepid 45F (6.4C) temperature. Bleeh... snake-oil science...

Then again, I did just check out KSL's weather forecast. It is suppose to remain in the mid 40s for the rest of the week and into next week. Woo-flipping-hoo. This time next week it will properly be fifty below.

I really should stop watching the weather reports. Then again, before last week, the last time I watched them was during the killer heatwave in July. I don't know why I even bothered to restart them. It isn’t like I have the active outdoor life to warrant watching them.

I did finally get the jogging in today, of course I was force to watch "In Living Colour" on television. Pity the treadmill is too huge to lug up the steps. Not that I mind "In Living Colour", but I have seen that episode several times already. I much prefer to jog to "Cybil" but I don't seem to get up early enough these days to catch it on Oxygen in time. At least I wasn't jogging to "Xena: Warrior Princess" today, the episode was the infamous "Lyre Lyre, Hearts on Fire". To hear Draco sing "Always Something there to Remind Me" was particular grating (and what’s more, Jay Laga'aia has a great singing voice, which makes it even worse).

Oh well life cannot be all fun and games watching bad women's television. But then again life is pretty ordinary at the moment. I have figured out what to get Jill for Christmas though - a potato peeler... a fun little private joke.

Now I just have to figure out what to get Claudia, Laurie, Sheryl, Lindsay & Amin (dear lord I really need more male friends). And that is not even starting with my family!!! Argh!!! No wonder I am always broke! Darn tooting holidays!

At least I can seek my revenge soon enough... my birthday... tee hee hee

I have finally decided where to get my next tattoo - the armband. It'll be on my right shoulder instead of below my current tattoo on my left shoulder. Since my current tattoo is Chinese symbols, having an armband below it is just to Sporty Spice for my taste... Now I just have to figure out the design.

And money obviously.
