"To Sodomy, it's between God and Me"

Now that I've had some time to really think about the recent holidays I have to say I am very relieved that I am back at work and that time has passed. Although Christmas is coming up quickly. These holiday months just whiz by, don't they? DON'T THEY??

I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed in my head. Not in my life right now because things are pretty easy going right this minute but in my head I am thinking ahead and making plans and the winds of change are blowing right through my ears. Next week I'll be moving on up to Mr. Dr's house for 3 weeks. I am looking forward to this. I'm thinking of taking a couple days off in December to get my affairs in order. Specifically, I need to meet with an advisor at the college to go over what classes I need to take. I'll probably just take a day off of work to do that because it will probably take a while. I got a notice from the school that they are accepting like 180 of my credits. Which is like all the credits. So I'll basically just have to take Spanish and some extra English classes to get my degree. That will be awesome. AWESOME! I am so over educated. Who ever heard of getting over 180 credits? That's like 6 years of 30 credits a year. And I didn't go for a whole 6 years. I only actually took classes for like 5 years total.

Maybe I'll take a different language. I should. Spanish would probably be easy because I took like 5 years of it in junior high and high school but I'm not going to become fluent so I may as well broaden my horizons. I can take French, German or Japanese if I want to. How awesome is that? How awesome is it? Not that awesome, actually. If I went to a real school I could take Swahili. I wouldn't, of course. But I could.

ho boy. I watched Born into Brothels on DVD on Friday night, Pride and Prejudice on Saturday in Ashland, and Rent yesterday in Medford. All of them totally kicked ass in completely different ways. I thought Born into Brothels would be completely depressing but really good and it was really good but not completely depressing. It was actually very sweet and sort of uplifting if you are the type to be uplifted by movies. These kids were very cute. And one of them was so smart and talented I couldn't believe it. I won't say which one because the others might get mad.



Pride and Prejudice was great but I always like that story. Always always always. Mr. Darcy was cast very well. VERY WELL. We spent some time afterwards comparing his Darcy to Colin Firth's.


I think Colin still won but this guy

was pretty good. And the rest of the cast was wonderful and the story was wonderful. And I felt ever so alone and lonely afterwards. I rarely get that feeling of loneliness because I cherish my alone time so much most of the time. But once in a while I see a mushy movie and think that it might be nice to have someone around to go see mushy movies with.

Rent was my favorite of all time. I saw it on Broadway 8 years ago and I know the soundtrack by heart so it was really really hard not to sing along through the whole thing. But I managed. It is not for the musically faint of heart. But I loved it so much. The title of this post is from Rent in the song "La Vie Boheme." I am so jealous of my friend Will that he would get to see Jesse L. Martin on the set of Law and Order and hear him sing all the time. I think he was the best in the whole movie by far. I was impressed that Rosario Dawson sang pretty well. And my girlfriend Sara Silverman had a small role in it which made me jiz in my pantaloons. What a mess that was. Luckily my jizz looks exactly like movie theater yellow topping for popcorn. So everyone wins. Although I am still a little sore.


in addition:

This last bit is being added much later than this post was written but I weigh myself weekly and I was dreading today because of the holiday and because I haven't exercised in over a week because of my stupid cold and laziness. But I actually lost 2 pounds since last week. I was so excited! So I normally would come in and tell my coworker erin that I lost 2 pounds or whatever and she would say something nice and encouraging etc. But now I work with this guy and I came bounding in the room and realized, I can't talk to this guy about how much weight I lost or haven't lost or want to lose. So now I miss Erin even though she is just working in a different department. There are a lot of things I can't do anymore that I used to. I get a lot more work done. And erin is a catholic republican. Good riddance.
