Did I like it? I wish I could tell you. I'm so torn! I've seen it twice now and both times I've enjoyed the actors performances immensely, I just wish they'd had more time. It seemed a bit rushed, and I felt that they spent too much time on the wrong things. I'd rather have cut the huge chase with the dragon (since it was completely fabricated ( Read more... )

So the good news is that Jason got a call today from BGI and is now their new Human Resources Department Assistant. They're paying him really well (especially for Borders)and even though it's not quite what he made at Discovery, it's not too much less. YAY!

Yesterday I rediscovered my love for The Sims. If you never hear from me again, at least you'll know why.

I don't know about you, but I think Mother nature is trying to say "There are enough of you bastards around, time to weed a few out". All of the natural ( Read more... )

Ok, so lately I've been dealing with a string of realizations and some bad luck and it's really starting to get to me. I'm a worrier by nature, and for some reason it's gone into overdrive lately. Due to some employment circumstances that came about for Jason a couple of months ago, my life is in total chaos. I had plans. I had timelines for ( Read more... )
