This is the sound of settling

I've got a hunger
twisting my stomach into knots
that my tongue was tied off

my brain's repeating
"if you've got an impulse let it out"
but they never make it past my mouth.

baa bah, this is the sound of settling
baa bah, baa bah

our youth is fleeting
old age is just around the bend
and i can't wait to go gray

and i'll sit and wonder
of every love that could've been
if i'd only thought of something charming to say.

baa bah, this is the sound of settling
baa bah, baa bah

i've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots.

I had a rough night last night. I was on-call for J again. I got a LOT of overtime. I basically worked from 8 a.m. to midnight on cases. I got four phone calls. They started coming in before I was even home. I wanted to drive out to Spencer to return Elizabethtown to Big Video but I had to turn around and head right home instead. All the cases were annoying and terrible complicated. It was very frustrating.

Between all that I cleaned out all my old paperwork and bills and such so I'd know what I have to pay this Saturday. I also talked to my landlord yesterday. He had come into my house on Monday to get my lease and had left a note on my kitchen table about water on the bathroom floor leaking down to my downstairs neighbor. I'm so not comfortable with my landlord (or anyone) coming into my house when I'm not there so I called him on it. He said he just had to get the lease and he would never do it again. I know that it's illegal for him to anyway without calling me first if it's an emergency so I'm not too worried about it.

I watched some meaningless television. "Deja Q" was on so I laughed out loud at Q and Worf exchanging banter for a little while. I also watched South Park which I hardly ever watch. While I did that I chatted with my friend Steve from myspace and also with Joe. Had a lovely argument with Joe so that totally made my night. Yea. . . Just as I was getting ready for bed around 11 my phone rang and it was this guy Keith I went to college with. We hadn't talked in a few years but I found him on myspace last week or so. So we talked for about an hour. That was nice. He's a big Star Wars fan like I am so we mostly talked about that.

I'm pretty sure I got a call from my friend Seth (also a df'd JW) at about 1 a.m. but I could have dreamed that up. I was pretty tired. lol. As Paul said, I'm popular. Yea, right. That'll be the day. But it was a good, if chaotic, night.

I'm hoping tonight will be slower with phone calls and such. I do not want a repeat of last night.

The five of us are in a conference room training still. We have been for a month. good times. Oh, and I'm going on a business trip to California still in June. Save me....

Great Questions from my Favorite Movie Reviewer

In a note on my previous post kennelworthy said: " Okay, I'm sure I could find the answer to this by going through your site's archives, but I'm at work and therefore don't have that kind of time. Feel free to chide me for being lazy. But...without getting personal, I have a few questions. For starters, ( 1 )what kinds of things cause the JW's to excommunicate someone? ( 2 )If they would accept you back into their fold, would you want to go back...or was your df'ing something related to "core beliefs." For instance, the Episcopal denomination is currently fueding with itself over homosexuality in the pulpit. It's caused a split in the church proper over "core beliefs." So, is there some aspect of the JW's you disagreed with that led to your df'ing...or do you still hold the same belief system as them but they just won't let you back in officially? If the answer to the above is "yes", then ( 3 )why would you wan...

ROTS Review - it's not all puppy dogs and ice cream

Well, Revenge of the Sith opened last night. I’m told it made 16.5 million with just its midnight show. I’m not surprised. This was the long-anticipated end to a huge saga. And I have to say that after having last night and some of today to reflect on it, I was a bit disappointed. The die-hard fans are furious right now, I’m sure. “What? But. . .it’s Star Wars. . .How can you not like it??” I will tell you how. First of all, I’m not saying I hated it . I enjoyed it enough and I definitely plan to see it again. There was so much to see on screen that you certainly need to view it more than once to take it all in properly. I did not hate every second of it. I left with a mostly satisfied feeling. But let’s cover what did bother me and then we’ll end on a high note with the things I really enjoyed. WARNING: HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD. 1. Anakin and Padme – the dialogue between them was definitely lacking. I cringed during the whole “I love you because you love me” part. But that ca...

Update from the road

I don't use blogger anymore. I love the interface here and I like it better than livejournal but there is just no sense of community for me here anymore. I still read a few people's blogs but that's it really and I never hear from anyone on here so... I switched to LJ. If you want to know any of the happenings of my life, you can catch up there . I'm driving cross country currently with my husband, Seth. We started at my home in Mass and are in cali now. We're going to be in Washington State by Sunday. That's where Seth's job is. For any of those of you who have my cell phone number, it's shut off right now. That's what happens when you get fired for no reason from your job, denied unemployment, and you can't pay your bills. But it'll be back on again soon. Even though i'm going to miss my family and the few good friends I had there, I am so glad to be out of that god-forsaken state. I can't wait to start fresh in Seattle. Eventually ...
