| I'm not asking for all your time, a song or two would suit me fine |
I can't really remember what I did this weekend. I suppose it must have been mostly nothing.
I remember today, at least, but it wasn't so great. I dragged myself to work this morning, and stayed only half an hour because I was feeling sick to my stomach. I came home, crashed on my bed for a couple hours, and that feeling went away - only to be replaced by a fever that has yet to completely subside. It's better than it was, but I'm still feeling pretty cozy, even without my usual winter accessories of a sweater, and two pairs of socks.
I was (am) totally bummed about being sick, because LT and I were going to see "Hannibal Rising" tonight. I've been a Thomas Harris fan forever, so I wouldn't miss it in any case - but seeing Dominic West (squeal!) in the preview really won me over.
FX keeps showing previews for a new show, "The Riches," that starts in March. I'm not entirely sure what it's about (except for rich people, obviously). I wasn't that impressed by the commercials, which aren't nearly as fun as the ones they had for "Dirt," but awhile ago I saw one that featured Minnie Driver. Okay, I'm in.
I haven't kept up with "Dirt," unfortunately. It's one of those things where I missed a week and... once I got too behind, I just didn't want to bother going back. I'll wait for a marathon, or the DVD.
On the job front, I've decided not to take the tutoring job I was offered. Yes, the pay-per-hour is good, but there are only four hours a week. That is, four hours that actually count towards your check; the two two-hour sessions each week, but any other prep work/grading done outside of that isn't taken into consideration. Um, stupidest idea ever?
Also, I really need to be firm about not taking jobs I'm not interested in. Every time I do, I only end up being unhappy. Every job has its negative points, but I want something where I'm not feeling harassed every day when I wake up and get ready. I'm starting to get that feeling now about being back at the office. I feel guilty about it, because their hiring me for special projects has gotten me out of a hole of complete brokeness, but I'm beginning to remember why I left in the first place. Hence, my new aggressiveness in job hunting. Well, as aggressive as I ever get, anyway.
Okay, I'm sitting here trying to find an amusing way to end the entry, and I see a pretty disturbing commercial. This guy is standing at the top of an apartment building (or condos?), ready to jump, ranting about reality TV and not knowing his neighbors, and some dude in a Volkswagen drives down the street and is all "Hey! Dude! Three 'V-Dubs' for under $17,000!" And this is enough for Suicidal Guy to climb down peacefully. Um... yeah. They should have some kind of disclaimer - "Cheap cars not good subsitute for therapy."
I love commercial disclaimers, especially stupid ones. Like the deodorant one where the lady does a fancy dive from her balcony to get into her dress without leaving white marks. Come on, who would actually try that?
I also like dumb warning labels on foods. "This product will be hot when heated." Seriously? I mean, really? I was hoping it'd still be frozen on the inside, so I can chip my tooth on it or something. Hey, Hot Pockets don't have a dealy on their box saying, "This product will be frozen when frozen." I smell a lawsuit coming on!
