Here we go again with the blogging. It’s honestly been so long that I’ve kind of forgotten the hows, why’s and what’s of it. How does one rant again?

Well, not that I’d ever forget that… It’s jut a little awkward. But nice anyway, especially with a pretty blog to go with it. I really should figure out how to hide posts from the public eye again though, because some of my posts will be work related. Like this one.

Some people may have heard my rant about my colleague before, and those people know that psychotic disease infested whore is the most kind description I can give of her. She’s on vacation now, and it’s awesome. It’s like the rain is gone, and we’re merrily frolicking around in the meadows. Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, and all is full of pleasant working relationships.

Except for the dark cloud on the horizon. Shaped like a psychotic disease infested whore. She’ll be back again next week. I’ll be in the UK then. For valid reasons, and definitely not to hide. Nope. This is not the obviously relieved look on my face that you’re looking for. Word on the street is that it’s ‘get your act together or get out’- time for said psychotic bitch colleague. That would be nice… Then again, I’m not sure if I’m really buying that. We’ll see. In the meantime, I fully expect her to be a heinous cunt as soon as I get back from the UK. Because she’s that kind of person.

Sigh. Nice colleagues. I can haz them naow?

Lannie got me a new theme for my blog, so now I actually have to start using the thing again. Bah It’s not actually a bad idea though. I tend to stick my head in the send when things get iffy, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. So… yeah… clearly that would indicate that last year was iffy. And it was. It’s always dual, these days. My social life is great, and the fact that I’m working on some of my issues is great, but then there’s school and work and family and argh!

Which is not all that great. At least work is looking up these days. Who knows, with some luck I’ll actually be able to force some changes this year. That would be pretty sweet.

Then again, luck? That really doesn’t seem to be my thing. So I guess I’ll just keep swimming. Eventually I have to get somewhere, right?

I’m a total geek. I made my own dicebags.

A while ago I bought a new clock. To display it’s awesomeness, a story in pictures follows.

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

But he didn’t let that keep him from being awesome. Nope.

So, I saw the new Star Trek movie yesterday, and it is a serious contender for movie of the year.

I”m not going to do a big review here, because I think that everyone should go see this movie for themselves. I’d just like to thank J.J. Abrams, for understanding. Thank you. My Trekkie-heart is beyond satisfied with this.

It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Which I knew, yet the difference between knowing something, and accepting something… That’s the thing that bites me in the ass time and time again.

Fridays aren’t really working for me at the moment. The last two fridays which featured good weather also featured nightshifts, meaning I spent most of the gorgeous afternoons in bed. Today was probably the best day yet, when it comes to the weather. I spent it sitting in a church, and walking to a graveyard, and walking away from a graveyard.

Truly, there are better ways to spend a gorgeous friday afternoon. The ceremony was all about hellfire and brimstone and the blood of Jesus Christ too. Not my thing, but if my aunt draws comfort from that then I’m not going to whinge.

Well, maybe a little. I’m just wrecked. Glad the week is over. Thank God it’s almost Saturday.

I bought the Incredible Hulk today. Yes. I have an excuse though! Tim Roth is my excuse. As I’ve said before, good bad guys make up for a lot of bad stuff in movies. Tim Roth is enough reason for me to like the Incredible Hulk. That, and explosions. They make me happy.

As I was buying said movie, it occured to me that the guy at the video store probably thinks I have terrible tastes in movies by now. He might have a point there, actually, but there are depths to which even I won’t stoop. While hanging out with Kat and Tijd this weekend, we decided to watch The Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Now that is one movie that I will never watch again, and will never buy. It’s getting snubbed by me, which is a rare thing, but… damn. Daaaaaamn.

My uncle passed away this morning. I had a little hope that no news would be good news, but the look on my fathers face when I saw him this morning said it all. I hope his passing was as pain free as modern medicine can make it.

The funeral is on friday. I don’t know if I’m expected to be there or not. We’ll see.

In the meantime my brother is still being an asshole. What else is new… I’m glad his hissy fits keep him preoccupied at a time like this. I doubt he knows our uncle passed away. I doubt he even knew he was sick.
