RHYMIN & STEALIN

Mood: Stupid.
Listening to: SM - Good Enough

Today was one of those whirlwind days at work. The kind where there is activity all around and I'm just sitting in the calm of the storm - I really didn't notice a whole hell of a lot. I just stayed my course. I guess it was probably a good idea, but it leaves me feeling sorta robotic after awhile. I think I brought work home with me tonight and that's why I am blabbering about it. Usually I don't because there isn't much to talk about. I dunno. Today feels different. I left feeling more blah than usual.

I'm glad this week is almost over. Tomorrow is the good ol' Tribune Christmas party. Sure to be a blast. I'm excited to have a date to this year's event. Hopefully we'll all have a good time.

I dunno what's going on, but lately I feel out of the loop on things. People and happenings and stuff. I don't know if it's because I've been so involved in things going on in my life like family and the obvious Rob-land I've been living in lately, or if it's because things really are sort of ripping apart slowly at the seams. I don't like that paranoia/insecurity/disappointment feeling that I've been feeling lately but I hope it clears up. I guess there comes a time in everybody's life when you wrap yourself up so completely in, well, yourself that you tend to miss alot of things happening on the outside. It's almost like a shell, but mostly just like blinders. You don't realize that things would be so much easier if they just happened rather than trying to direct them or anticpate them. I probably shouldn't even be bothering with this because I know that I do it from time to time too. It's just hard to continually put myself into the 'available for whatever' position and be brushed aside.

Hrrpmh. Enough of that whiny-bullshit.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Maybe I'll even get my old skates on and give them a try for the first time this year. I would still like a new pair, but I don't anticipate using them enough to warrant getting new ones. Although I'm sure my ankles wouldn't mind the extra comfort.

Little man Gavyn went home with mamma Cristy on Wednesday. Rob and I stopped over for a quick visit last night and he sure was cute. Crying and everything - but still cute as hell. He's going to be so much fun.

It's expensive to be a girl. This fact was realized once again tonight.

Hmm.. what else do I got...

I got myself a subscription to Deviant Art. I think it's pretty cool. I just need to start taking more photos and writing alot more. I needed to do that before anyway, but now I have more of an incentive. If I do anything worth while I might just continue my subscription when it runs out in April. Yay.

Oh no! Bear is driving! How can that be?

I bought The Polyphonic Spree CD on impulse last week. My rationale: "Hey, it's only 7 bucks, if it sucks I'm out... 7 bucks." They're definitely different that's for sure. Their popular song is called Light & Day/Reach For The Sun and you've probably heard it before on those VW/IPod commercials. They wear church choir gowns and are actually pretty freaky to see. I don't know what I was thinking. I think their cult-like ways persuaded me. One of the critic's quotes was "It changed my life!" I am seriously questioning that one. Wierdo.

Sandy brought back 2 of our 3 home video movies last weekend. It was fun to watch those things again. We were very creative/crazy/bored children with big imaginations. Poor Rob had to suffer through, but he was a good sport and even laughed.

Lately I've been stuck in a Sigur Ros rut. I was addicted to Olsen Olsen and now it's been Staralfur. It's just nice to have songs to drift off to. I guess, unless you're driving somewhere or something. Then perhaps not so much.

Rob got us a new plant today. It's an Aloe Vera plant and now we officially have no more room on the coffee table. When we move I think we're gonna get some of those handy plant stand thingies and maybe make use of the table.

Blah blah blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I'm babbling. To myself most likely. Sorry...sorry.

But I guess I should hop in the shower. I am going to attempt to go to work early tomorrow so I can leave in time for the good ol' Christmas bash. Woo hoooooo...
