Tonight will not be movie night.

Next Friday I will be watching Memento. I had announced it as a movie night a couple of months ago, but never got around to watching it (no one, and I mean no one, showed up, so we watched a netflix movie instead).

Same bat time, same bat channel.

Tricky – Overcome – Maxinquaye

Well, I worked out again for the first time in at least two months on Wednesday.

It went really well, I didn’t even get sick (which I usually do my first time around). Today, however, I’d be lucky to be able to pat myself on the head. My muscles are SOOO SOOOOORE. Shit. I really need to get back into this so I can stand it.

I’m thinking, for at least the first month or two, dropping the weight way back and just going for quick reps, rather than pushing myself to exhaustion. I really want to find the right weight to where, when I do the last Rep, its that single one that is impossible, rather than about half way through each set. I may finally break down and carry a notebook and pencil with me so I can track what I do each time and judge how I need to adjust the weights.

Never the less, it felt good to get back in there and I look forward to trying, once again, to make a habit out of it.

Oingo Boingo – Flesh ‘N Blood – Best O’ Boingo

so the semester approaches at lightning speeds and I kind of think its going to be a goodish year.

So to catch up, Christmas was good. We went to Tyler where Heather’s sister lives and we were there for three nights. It was bearable and at times enjoyable but still a bit too much sports for me. See, Heather’s family are all big sports fans where I couldn’t give two rats asses about sports. I think I did pretty good with my gifts received, even if they were a bit practical. I got things like a memory card for my camera, a wallet, money with which to buy a new lens. Things like that. Heather did get me some bad ass movies though, so I still got something fun.

New Years was a BLAST. As you may have read in an earlier post, we decided to open up our home as a haven to those who didn’t have a place to go for New Years, which turned out to be our best friends. Even though it wasn’t a party, per se, we told everyone to make it a cocktail pajama party. Everyone showed up on some form of jammies (mostly sweats and t-shirts) and we drank fancy drinks. We did flip on the TV at about three ’til 2006, but we couldn’t find a channel doing the countdown so we just flipped to the weather channel and counted down the seconds ourselves. Then we started a monster game of Trivial Pursuit: Pop Culture DVD edition. That damn game lasted until nearly four in the morning (congratulations akvanecek and hubby for pulling the win at the end, and thank you for putting us all out of our misery).

akvanecek, we’ve really enjoyed your company lately, what with the free lunch deal, the New Year’s party, lunch at Beth Marie’s, etc. We’re all really happy to have you two hanging out with us. We look forward to seeing you two again, soon.

This week hasn’t been too bad. We got our free Toxic day off and the rest of the week has been pretty lazy build up to the next semester. I’m still trying to decide if I’m taking one class or two, this semester. It’ll be a bit more expensive, but I have to start taking two classes a semester at some point if I ever want to finish, and there’s a fairly enticing one being offered this semester. I just don’t know. I guess I’ll decide by next semester.

Nur and her kin are back in Denton and living with us again for the time being. She’s got her husband and her cutie-pie baby. They only got into town on Tuesday, so we’re all still getting settled. Eventually I’ll get to where I can sleep through the sound of someone else’s baby crying, right? No really, its not that bad… its only been two days, I can’t complain yet. Really, the only awkward bit is that her husband is really shy and quiet, so you never really know what to say to him. At any rate, we have a full house again and while it’s not that big of a deal, I still can’t walk to the kitchen naked to get a drink of water.

I didn’t get any photography done this break and I feel a little bad for that, but then again, I got a lot of rest and I feel really good about that. I feel very close to all my friends right now too, so I’m pretty happy. Hope you all are, too.

Yoko Kanno – Too Good Too Bad – Cowboy Bebop

I started writing a nice, long holiday – new years entry at work, but then they declared the building unsafe for human occupancy until Wednesday at the earliest.

Now I’m just too damn tired to write. Tomorrow, the house fills up but my progress to the Dark Side is continuing nicely.

In brief, we had a good holiday, I’m waiting for all my post-christmas gifts to get to me in the mail, and we had an awesome new years eve get-together.

That is all, go back to whatever you were doing before.

“Free” Speech
Can you really call it a “free speech” area if you have to schedule it in advance?

So last night I was out buying beer, looking for some of the brews that were suggested at a part a week ago (yeah, like I can remember that far back) and I just grabbed some random ones. I picked up this one by Anchor Brewing Co that, when I poured it into a glass, was darker than a pint of old coffee. I had this mysterious, melted chocolate colored head floating on it an I swear, it didn’t so much as pour out of the bottle as slither. I have to be honest, I was a bit afraid, but after it breathed a little and I chilled it, it was really quite good.

It was their Holiday Brew so I was hoping for the best. I can’t say it was the best beer I’ve ever tasted (that Shiner ’96 is still really good) but it was smooth and tasty and all around pleasant.

Just thought you’d all like to know.

so I have 247 movies on my Netflix. I think I need to ask someone to upgrade my membership for christmas. :/
