words XXIV

The internet is not successfully entertaining me. Therefore I am considering going to sleep, while I feel this would be the prudent course of action, there is one minor issue. I don’t want to. Just as I had used up the last forum as an excuse not to and checked to see who was online and went to make a last post there, I just got an im from a friend. Maybe just a few minutes quick chat and then sleep.

Random thoughts, I should read Sandman again soon. Its kinda strange but the thought running through my mind now is I miss Dream. Ya know I can’t explain it at all, it is just this feeling I have that just is (great attempt at an explanation huh?) I read The Little Endless Storybook last night and it just reminded me of the amount of wonder contained in Sandman and the complete happiness it brought me just reading it. I should make sure to pick up his new book while I’m shopping on Thursday night.

If someone could explain this to me, I would appreciate it.
Martin Sheen has been nominated as Best Actor.
Allison Janey has been nominated as Best Actress.
Dule Hill, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Schiff have all been nominated as Best Supporting Actor.
Mary Louise Parker, Stockard Channing and Janel Moloney have all been nominated as Best Supporting Actress.

All of the above are listed in the main credits of the show. Not to detract from anyone at all, but if Allison Janey can be listed as Best Actress, then shouldn’t all the other cast members be nominated for Best Actor/ress? Hmm looking at past nominations for them (here) it doesn’t really make sense. Still I’m glad to see them all being recognised for the wonderful work they do.

Also while looking back, Richard Schiff, Bradley Whitford have both won acting Emmys for their work on the show and Allison Janney has won Outstanding Supporting Actress for the past two years running.

I don’t know exactly why, I suspect it was a combination of things but looking back I was in a really foul mood this afternoon. All in all things worked out I guess, two problems (important to me) were solved or at least started to be taken care of. But others were created and fuck it one of them pisses me off a hell of a lot and I suspect could cause some major hassles over the next week. I could really do without it to be honest a nice grief free life would be good but somehow I don’t see that happening.

Just when I think everything is fucked up and indeed make a post pretty much about how pissed off I am, the company actually flexes some of that muscle and says just do it and its just done. Its a nice change I will admit that and it is damn fucking nice to actually see a question being brought up and someone going I don’t know but I’ll find out and not only do they find out they sign it off and its just done.

A virtual time capsule, eBay holds out a seemingly endless supply of commercial and household artifacts, historic corporate documents, maintenance manuals and product catalogs that can help asbestos lawyers pin down where clients encountered the hazardous material — and who can be held liable.

Do you ever look back at things you have said or done in the past and all you can do is cringe?

Logistics problems starting off already. Sure company card is fine we can sort that out but it will take 3 weeks and have a limit that is well low to say the least because that is how we do things. *sigh*

Today started off so well, I got a piece of information that allowed me to get rid of an area of this project that I didn’t really want to have to go and do which was good.

Whats the point in complaining about something that I *know* no-one gives a shit about?

Stop emailing me too you fuckers. I’m not giving anyone my password for any reason at all ever. So fuck right off. There is no point in mailing me, I don’t care.

I hate stupid emails almost as much as I hate stupid people.

Dreams can be real fucked up sometimes. When I was back in Dublin a couple of weeks ago I brought back some stuff, 5 years (94-98) worth of diaries for one thing and also a dream journal that I use to keep on and off for no real reason other than I wanted to I guess. The last two nights would have had some major entries in there.

I was flipping through my diaries at random just now and I came on the page when I finished secondary school (May 23rd 1997) for those wondering and wow springs to mind. I don’t think I want to talk much about this at the moment actually, flipping through and looking at specific days brings back a lot of things that I guess I just don’t want to think about much less talk about. The good old days?

In other news, I have 15 single socks. Now that is just fucked up.
My head hurts, I’m going to bed.

Did some washing. Did some cleaning. Went to the shop for a couple of bits and pieces. Played Bond and Pikmin (damnit) on GC and GTA3 on PS2. I watched some season 1 West Wing and I watched the new episode. I have to make my bed shortly as the sheets I was using are in the wash. I am wondering if there are AIM issues as I have not seen anyone online over the weekend.

I’ve just had a chance to sit down and watch last weeks CSI which Dave and Anna kindly taped for me. While it is quite a formulaic show (although not quite week in week out) the strong cast and tight scripts generally leaves you not noticing that part. The episode was the last of the second season leaving us waiting for the third season and indeed the spin-off series both of which start sometime in September. These will be among the show I’m gonna see about taping over in the US.

While we are on the subject of I am looking forward to pay-day on Thursday a hell of a lot. Lunch time will be a trip to the shops to pick up the second half of The West Wing season one (released Monday)…then the debate will be whether to go home and start watching or noting I have the entire weekend to watch them a couple of times over to go and pick up some comics as I haven’t in a few weeks. Choices like this I like making, ya know they just work for me.

Tomorrow (well today now really) I have no plans, some cleaning and some washing maybe but nothing set. More than likely sleep in late and then just see what happens.
