The 4-day weekend
I have to say that this four-day weekend thing is a novel concept for me, but I think I'm becoming a fan. :-D
I requested Friday off on Thursday evening --- and got it. Woo!
So, these past four days have pretty much blurred together. I haven't stuck to the traditional concepts of 'day' and 'night' but instead stayed up/out or both until I couldn't stay awake - crashed whereever I was and continued on! No, nothing crazy - this is me we're talking about here. I still took care of all of my standard stuff that I normally have - but I refused to work on any projects and I didn't do any side work either. Amazing how much left over time there is after those things disappear.
So I've played more video games in the past 96 hours than I have in the past 96 weeks - and I'm certainly not complaining! I got to watch movies and go out to eat (and not be in a rush)... good stuff.
Anyways, on to the more important things...
Pirates was OK - but I was very underwhelmed by this third installment. Too many plot lines - too much extra story stuff stuck in there, and not enough Depp to keep the boat afloat.
Oh well - Spidey III was a bust... Pirates III was a bust... guess I'll have to try Shrek III and see where it places. It's not new, but I did see Stranger Than Fiction over the weekend as well - not a bad movie - especially if you have any type of writing interest. :-)
In other news - I test drove my car with a tech for a half hour on Saturday - but wasn't able to get the blasted problem to kick in -typical. However, they are still going to keep trying to get it to trigger while they have that computer thing plugged in. Meanwhile the new seal is supposed to be here tomorrow so the door's wind noise should go away... and he was supposed to work on that loose shock/rattle thing as well. I should hear from them tomorrow.
As much as I love that minivan... I am really looking forward to getting my real car back. ;-)
I was given some blues CDs from a co-worker to listen to... so I'm officially a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn and John Lee Hooker. Old and ancient blues respectively, but it beats that Led Zepplin / Rush / Pink Floyd stuff they have been trying to 'educate' me with. :-D
Well that about does it for right now -- I'm going to try to get a decent night's sleep before work in the morning...
