Network

Just finished the film: "Whiplash". I believe it was up for one of the Oscars this year, so decided to give it a watch and a rather brilliant film. It relies heavily on strong acting and intensity to really push it along, as the story leaves a bit to be desired. It's a simplistic one, more or less predictable, but it's the intensity of the film that really drives it, and the incredible acting.

Also checked out the Lego Movie, haven't watched it yet... been too busy grading papers heading into Spring Break here in a few weeks. That's always a bit on the dangerous side, most papers before Spring Break are just intolerable messes.

Well my March schedule has come out and it seems much lighter than last month! I fly back in tomorrow and will actually be home for longer than a week! It's a miracle! And it seems right on time. Is it just me or have things finally calmed down? This calls for a celebration!

I know fires are no laughing matter, but I absolutely hate that ride.

Anyways, hello Network! It's been a while, but the Captain I'm back in town. Anyone still here from before I disappeared to the UK for a few months?

Happy St Davids Day!



It's strange not having a concert or anything to go to but I'm going to make some welsh dishes later and ring my parents too.

Nothing like having a dream about a Grey Warden a Mage someone blowing up the Kirkwall Chantry. That caused a great deal of problems for the Mages and Templars and just about everyone all over Thedas. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that no one else blows up any more important places. Gives me a headache just thinking about the Mage/Templar rebellion.

A big "THANK YOU" to everyone who's been helping me pack up the Old Man's house. I bought hundreds of cardboard boxes (okay, not literally) and they've all been filled. Most of them donated. Some stored. Others went straight to the dump. And my own apartment is almost empty now, too, with me taking several trips a day after work in my brother's mini-van. (Yes, my brother drives a mini-van. Yes, he's been mocked for it.)

The point of the story is that I'm exhausted. Not sure I can do much more of this.

Oh, and I need a new vacuum.

I love that I've got Mondays and Wednesdays off. Means my Sunday nights are free. Sunday nights, I might add, are one of the best nights of the week for going out. It's not crowded, there's never a wait for a pool table, and I don't have people grinding up against me on the dance floor using the excuse that it's crowded to justify attempting to cop a feel.

Haven't had that much time to go out dancing lately. But now that crime has dropped back down to normal levels things have calmed down a bit... it sounds like fun tonight. I think.

Today was so long I almost fell asleep in the shower after my shift. People need to stop calling in sick.
