Sorry for the lack of entries lately. Starting up entries has been easier than finishing them. Other than the tooth (more on that in a minute) and the wild weather, I haven't had much to complain about. It hasn't been real eventful either, since I'm mostly either working or hanging out with my favorite girl. Sometimes, no news is good news. :)
I spent the first few hours of the year with my favorite girl, and I couldn't think of a better way to start it. I can't say that the rest of the day was all that great, since I had to be in at work at 9:00 a.m., and then later on while eating dinner, part of a filling broke off. The tooth it came from was the one that should have just been pulled instead of filled back in. The tooth really bothered me the first few days, but doesn't bother me now. I've been trying to decide whether to take care of it soon, or in two months when I'll actually have insurance.
Work has slowed down quite a bit. I've had no overtime this year, and I got to leave early every day this past week. Next week's check is going to suck, but I'm trying to enjoy the time off that I get, especially after having worked 44-55 hours a week for over a month. One thing I like about working day shift is that I actually get to see the sun when I get off from work early. Before too long, I'll get to see it every day when I get off at my regular time.
One of the perks of having a steady full time day job is getting to go to concerts. I get to see Anthrax pretty soon. This will be my fifth time seeing them, but only my first with Joey Belladonna on lead vocals. And in March I'll get to see a Henry Rollins spoken word show AND Jane's Addiction in the same week! This is the first time I know of that Jane's Addiction has ever played Louisville. Van Halen is playing in February, and I'm debating on whether to go see them.
One of the few brick-and-mortar Blockbuster Videos that I know of is going out of business. Like Borders and Ear X-tacy, I'm kinda sad to see it go. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying the sale.
I've recently decided to give up watching "Star Wars:Clone Wars". When watching a show starts to feel like a chore, then it's time to stop watching. I never was a huge fan, but it did seem to get more interesting at some point. This season is supposed to have some good shit, but it's mostly been a dud so far. You especially know it sucks when Gungans are featured in two or three episodes in a row. But anyway, I'm really glad that I was recently able to get both volumes of Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars micro series that aired between Star Wars Episodes 2 and 3. It's not only the definitive Clone Wars series for me, but it's also better than the prequel trilogy.
