Here It Goes Again

True to form, I'm already beginning to neglect my blog.  I've done the three-week wait now, so I fully expect it will be nearly two months before I write again.  Anything sooner than that is nothing short of miraculous.

I'll forego my traditional warning about rambling and issue a new one about whining.  So be prepared for whining.  Possibly both whining and rambling, but I can't be sure of that until after I've written it.

It's been an interesting week for me.  Firstly, everyone who had been here for grandma's memorial suddenly departed, heading back to reality and leaving me to suffer from quite the letdown.  To make it worse, Sharon jetted off to a foreign country for six weeks.  As she is primarily the person I annoy when I'm bored, this created a job vacancy that I would normally fill by annoying Crystal instead.  However, Crystal wandered off into the woods somewhere and got lost, so I haven't seen her for some time either.  As you can see, this has created the Perfect Storm of insurmountable boredom, which I have been attempting to alleviate by eating.  It's only partially working.  I suppose if I were really committed to overcoming boredom, I'd increase my work hours, but I'll save that for a really rainy day.  Like the Apocalypse.

Instead, like most Americans, I'm filling my time with food - as I said above - and television.  Or movies.  Whichever strikes my fancy at any given moment.  And I have to say that television has been incredibly disappointing this week.  I suppose that it's the Olympics' fault that absolutely none of my shows are new, and to be honest, the Olympics just aren't that interesting this time around.  So after watching filler for several hours while griping about nothing being on, I decided to watch a movie.  Sharon is allowing me to use her Netflix account while she's over in the land of the moose and the maple leaf - no, sorry, it's the land flowing with milk and honey - and she'd ordered a movie called "Adam" about a guy with Asperger's Syndrome.  Perhaps it's because my standards have been recently lowered by hours of shizzle on the telly, but I really quite enjoyed it.  Had it a better ending, I would probably buy it so it could sit undisturbed on my shelf for years.  Whatever the case, if you have the opportunity, I'd certainly recommend it, though I'll include a warning about certain parts being inappropriate for younger audiences.

Well, guess I'm done now.  Looks like I should have left in the warning about rambling after all.

(OK Go!)

You made me laugh this bright early morning. ☺
I didn't think about the fact that you wouldn't have Sharon or Crystal this week either. That sucks. I sure didn't see you online much. :o)I've been really "blah" this week too, it's been hard to make myself get anything done. =P
Hope this week is better!
