Clockhammer "Trial by Fire" |
] |
The weekend required a lot of energy, and yet i don't feel like i accomplished much. Fia is fine- doing really well, even. She has a new tooth making it an even 4 and 4 and a runny nose, but was energetic and "crawling". She has taken her flu shot (2-parts) and we missed a clinic on the H1N1 and I might take her to the next one this week, but i'm hesitant. It's a bad flu, I know, but she doesn't have any underlying conditions, and how on earth am I going to keep her in a line for what might be 2 hours? Her Ped isn't giving the H1N1 shot, and I don't know if she overwhelmingly needs to get one- on one hand I think i have the privilege to make this decision and on the other, i would die if it was a horrible mistake.

Happy the Stillers won, but am angry at the Giants. WTF, GIANTS?? God, i hate Arizona. *sigh*
The accounting department sent an email saying i didn't give them a receipt from September. So, I went looking for it, and there wasn't one where it should have been. I can either admit that I grossly neglected to retain and submit a receipt which I have to track down before the end of the week, or, I can say that a gremlin from accounting broke into my office, stole the receipt and is up to trickery. I think about all the shit i have to keep track of in my job and then how much i get paid and how low status it is and i could cry. But instead I journal on company time. SO THERE.
The food in our house this weekend was epic. I made a fantastic quiche on Saturday, and then pimped-up brownies. Then yesterday I made Amy Sedaris' Chicken of the Taverns. Oh it was all one big delicioso. And I spent my own money for the first time in ages- i bought shoes and a few things for J, taking the tot for a trip to the mall and remembering how much i hate humanity. And they need to call Lane Bryant the "$50.00 store!" - blah. All i want are a few turtlenecks and a nice durable cardigan. And I lost my black cardigan- where the hell could i have put it?!
I'm considering blood donation. I have never given blood, and will give the Red Cross money before my life-juice. But, post-Fia, I can't help feeling I need to give something for babies because i would want the same for mine. I know, it sounds like a "precious moment", but my attitude's changed. And I'm type A+, which isn't that common. Bring on the vampires.
Speaking of.. i'm worried about Priest, KU's movie. By the time it comes out, there will be some serious vampire fatigue. Wish i could have seen the Scream Awards, but probably happy I didn't - the Spike Man has poor taste.
But it's Halloween Week- YAY! I'll be handing out candy, and we still don't have a costume for Fia so i might just make one on the fly. She'll probably be having dinner and then sleeping anyway. And, we might not even have many kids since the overly sensitive religious nuts have activities at their churches instead of allowing kids to to "tricks or treats" properly. Oh well, more for us. On the classes front, I had someone turn in an offensive paper on Same-Sex Marriage and i'm just tired of their inability to grasp what i'm trying to teach and unwillingness to read. No more Ms. Nice-teacher. I'll bring drop slips to class and allow for one last chance to jump ship. God i'm sick of people and i just don't have the patience to deal with ignorance. But yet, i need the money- will i ever stop saying that??
We watched Burial Ground this weekend, and J was curious about how I would review it. Well, I didn't think it was the worst film ever, but it was extremely formulaic and sick on inappropriate levels. A scientist unearths the dead, and no one can seem to remember that you have to knock their head off to kill them. There was no care put into this film, and no art. It was a film to take your future baby-mamma to. Here is the adult playing a child because the plot makes a gross turn and a child couldn't have done it:
