Nothing going on here....

Today is just one of those days that seems dull. I have the day off of work, but I also have laundry and dishes to catch up on. Nothing I would normally watch is on television for some odd reason and I can't stay focused enough to read more than two pages at a time. Being with out any thing to do with my day I pulled out my Invader Zim DVDs. God help me but I still love that cartoon. I know it is stupid but it makes me feel better. Of course now I will be quoting lines from Zim for a week. When you say things like, "Invader's blood runs through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants," people tend to look at you a little strange. Oh well the damage is done.
I decided to take the tickets to the baseball game from work. They are from the season tickets our owner has to the Toledo Mudhens. I just figure if I don't use them no one will. True or not that is how I have decided to rationalize it.
Winter came with to see the new Fantastic Four move last Thursday night. It was really great. The plot was better than the last movie and it was true enough to the spirit of the comics to please me which isn't easy. Although I have to say seeing Jessica Alba in a movie is normally enough to draw me to the theater. I admit I have had more than a small thing for her since she was in Dark Angel. I did see on television that the movie was the top grossing movie of the weekend by far. So at least I am not alone in liking it.

Once a dork always a dork

Well in the last few weeks my mom has gotten out of the hospital (again) and I have started back to work. I really was so thankful to get back to work. Anything that helped me get back to a life that was a little more normal. Granted work kinda sucks, but you can't have everything. I did get some really great news in the last few weeks, my friends Jon and Maria are going to have another baby. I am so happy for them, so far all they know is that it is due in mid December.

Also my extra week off work resulted in my getting promoted being delayed more than a week. Supposedly I can take care of that by visiting and observing at another store on Thursday. Which means I can have slightly less mediocre pays and an equally sad and sorry title.

It my time waiting in hospital waiting rooms I read most of the comics I bought on vacation and started a book called "Jerks at Work" which I found a little less funny than I thought, but good enough to pass the time. I also found a bunch of old pictures from my junior prom and work pictures from work. I was very ugly in high school and had really bad hair. It was sad. Nothing like spending time at home and finding reminders that you were always a dork.
