Work is going to be *very* busy before I head off for vacation. There is a software release at the end of the month, and first they said they wouldn't ship any new documentation with it :shock: But now they've changed their minds. So...I have to do a few months work in about 2 weeks. I guess I will be putting in extra hours very soon; this will make up for all the past slack time.
I just heard some new Queen of the Stone Age new single, and the DJs are talking about the cow bell Will Ferrel skit from SNL. Too funny, and now that's all I'll think about when I hear the song again. I like the song!! This morning on the radio, they were talking about this book written by a woman. I think the book is called somthing like [u]Happy Hook-up[/u]. It's a book of tips on teaching women how to get casual sex and to treat it like men...since women just can't help but get attached to the men they sleep with. The book sounds stupid to me, which makes me want to read it.
Speaking of hooking up, I was supposed to see the P Man last night after he went to his counseling session. His relationship with his father needs working on, and they're actually going to try to do something about it. It ended up being late, so he didn't swing by. But he kept wanting me to go over to his place. I'm proud to say I stayed in my own warm bed. My body was just exhausted last night. Even though I tried going to sleep early (I was in bed before 11 pm!!) I still felt awake.
I was tired all day from not getting enough sleep the night before, and then I had an appointment with my trainer after work. I am way too easy on myself when I do my workouts. She made my right leg feel like jelly. It hurts to step on the gas pedal today. I miss not having weekly training sessions. I can't even do stuff I used to be able to do. But then again, I still have retained my strength.
I talked to Tara last night, and we did our usual catching up. I need to update my long-distance calling plan. I hardly make International calls anymore, and my mom's not using my line to make her long-distance calls, either. I can't remember where I was going with this topic, so I'll stop now.
So now my mom is definitely going ot Hong Kong, too. This means I am going to have to change plans with my dad. He's not going to like hearing that I won't be taking his "friend's" luggage and that I won't be hanging out with them. My mom thinks his "friend' is manipulating him into having a bad relationship with me, and then he can be all hers (or at least all his money and possessions).
Oh, I remember where the Tara thing was going. For the first time, I told her I had a blog...but only because I wanted to tell her that people I wasn't expecting to read it were indeed reading it. Seems like my friends who don't spend a lot of time on the Internet find the whole concept of blogging really strange. "So you have a journal on the 'net, and anyone can read it?" "Why put it there if you don't want people reading it?"
People keep bookform journals...if you saw someone's lying around, would you read it? I guess it seems like because something is on the Internet, it's public property? Then why are words and graphics copyrighted? Obviously I don't mind that much if people read my blog; otherwise, I wouldn't keep blogging. What I do mind is when people go looking for me doing searches and then come back to keep reading, especially if they don't let me know that they're doing it. I guess I haven't mentioned that I have another Web page whose URL I tell others. So the individuals who've looked me up on the Internet...have gone above and beyond what I've given them.
