Happy New Year

This week has been fascinating, to say the least. Actually, it has been really great... here is the recap:

Christmas Eve ~ worked at the hospital
Christmas Day ~ slept over the in-laws, did presents, ate breakfast, went to my parents, did presents, ate dinner, got a relatively upsetting email, family cheered me up, went home, did presents with Jon, crashed
Sunday ~ worked at the hospital, slept over my parent's house because of the snow
Monday ~ hung out at home all day with the family since it was Chris' last day. Played scrabble, helped mom whoop everyone's butt
Tuesday ~ went to see Tron with friends. It was GREAT, loved it, adding it to my (short) list of movies that I will always watch when they eventually show on tv. The list: Hackers and anything based on books by Jane Eyre.
Wednesday ~ talked with said friend of the last post, who sent me the upsetting email. After three hours, came to a better understanding of each other, but we will see how things work out. Regardless, I am determined not to let her make me sick with stress anymore. We shall see. That night, she invited me to Longwood Gardens. I said yes, since it was maybe the first time shes ever asked me outright to do anything in the 3 years we have been friends. Did that. After, went to the mall at 8:30 at night, got bath mats and curtain tie backs. Met up with other friends at quizzo. Lost horribly. Went to bed at midnight.
Thursday ~ said friend's birthday, took her to see Black Swan. I was disappointed. I have high standards for mental movies and I want them to all be as mind-blowing as Sliding Doors, Memento, and the first time you saw The Sixth Sense (supposing someone did not spoil the ending). There was way too much pointless masturbating. Yeah, I get it, shes so frigid, but if someone told me to go home and play with myself, I would probably kick them. Also, she must have REALLY been in the mood to get into it that much. Oh bravo bravo, lots of men are going to vote to give you an oscar Ms. Portman. I, however, will not. Oh, and thanks for making out with Mila Kunis, that was necessary too. Lest you think I am against such forms of sexuality in movies, I assure you that its not just the self and female variety... I hate gratuitous sex scenes of ANY and ALL ilk when they are basically unnecessary to the movie. They could have done a lot more if they had not wasted screen time on that bs.
Anyway, after that I went to Josh's to watch Dr. Who for the first time. The newest incarnation, not the old school. My thoughts? Not bad. I would watch it if it was randomly on. Not sure I would proactively seek it out and set the dvr, but a good diversion.
Friday ~ New Years Eve... a relative bust, but I liked it. We cleaned the upstairs in the early afternoon. In the evening we were supposed to head back to Josh's, but my stomach was being a bit odd. In fact, it is continuing to be a bit odd right now, which I am not amused about... anyway, I stayed home and Jon went. He got home right before the ball dropped.
Today ~ Not much happened today. We watched the parades and I took a shower just as Josh and Bill showed up to watch the Outback bowl. PSU vs FSU? Shrug. Unimportant. :) So here I am at work...


In summary, it has been a long long week and I am not anticipating going back to school. But all good vacations come to an end...

Happy New Year.


By the way, my resolution is to keep my stress as low as possible. We will see how that goes! ;)
