Interlude
So I'm going to take a little break from talking about my work. In an effort to create suspense (ha) I'm going to say that I am depressed at work now for a reason, and maybe I'll talk about it later.
I realize that when I write I tend to ramble, and I can go on and on. I was even bored writing my last post on Friday which is hard to do once I get going. Oh well this is my space so I suppose I can do what I like, but it is hard to ignore the thoughts and needs of my legions of fans.
Anyways, I had a good weekend even if it wasn't the most restful. I must not be getting enough sleep during the week because come Friday night I am completely wiped. It's sad because I can rarely make it to midnight anymore, and it takes an effort to want to go out and do anything. Which sucks because since I started to work full time I have come to appreciate my weekends and staying up late on them. I guess I'm only a step away from the retirement home.
So on Friday evening I sat around waiting for my Dad to get home so we could go out for supper. He finally made it home at 7:45 after working a 12 hour shift (totally shaming me for being tired after working my measly 7 hours at half his age). So we went to the Flamingo steakhouse by Heritage mall. It's a favorite restaurant of my parents because it's owned by friends of the family. So I ate a mediocre meal, and listened to my Dad jabber in greek to his friends for a while. It's quite funny how they'll intersperse a few phrases in english when they're talking. We then did some late night grocery shopping, before I went home and had a shower. At 10:30 p.m. I hit the sack. I briefly woke up at 12:30 a.m. and considered doing my downtime turn for Puragatory, but I discarded that idea in favor of more sleep.
The upside was that I was able to get up in the morning early on Saturday. Rested and refreshed I was able to get a lot of stuff done, and I had a good day by myself. That evening Shani and I headed to Sherwood park for a BBQ at some friends. The party started at 6 and we got there at about 7. As usual most of the women present were already drunk. Also as usual the women split off to talk while the guys hung out and discussed geeky topics like Battlefield 2, and the make up of mad cow disease. It was fun though and with my roleplaying schedule I never to get to see my non gaming friends.
Then on Sunday the obligatory roleplaying element of the weekend came about. Shani and I headed to Kinsmen park for her live Werewolf game. It was a fun game though it was a tad chilly out. Everyone will be comforted to know that my character is once again a bastard, who is a lawyer, who lots of people don't like because I slept with Jenn's teenage prostitute character. Anyways the jury is still out with me on this whole playing outside thing.
In the evening we went to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Oddly Sunday night must be a popular night for movies because the theater was packed. We decided that we didn't want to sit in the front row to kill our necks so we went to see Madagascar. A pretty entertaining movie, much better I would imagine if one was seven instead of mentally fifteen like myself. There was a few in jokes for the adults of course though, the best being the Planet of the Apes parody. When we got out of that movie people were lining up for the next showing of Mr. and Mrs. Smith so we decided that we'd go see that then. I must have been tired because I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Some good laughs, good action, really predictable and lame plot. Still Angelina Jolie was HOT in this movie, and I can say that because even Shani remarked upon it. I'm usually lukewarm to her as I don't think she looks good in every movie role. The Tomb Raider ones for example.
So it was a late night with an early morning. Good thing my brain doesn't need to be on at work.
I'm beginning to see that I must really like the sound of my own voice as well. At least no one can accuse me of being a lollyblogger yet.

Your blog is all of a sudden very difficult to read!
Yes it is. I've been trying to fix it, but it seems to take a while to change.
