Bring me the head of whoever said “play fair”
I want to sit in my chair and wear a blank stare / Fuck being king of the hill / When the music dies you’ll be the first one the villagers kill
Sometimes perhaps the lyrics I use to start these ramblings do in fact mean something, although most of the time its only to me. Admittedly I have never been entirely sure how much my music choice affects my mood versus how much the my present mood affects my music choices. But that’s a rambling for myself at a later date I think.
So lets play a little catch up, which will be rather short I imagine as I intend to skip over all the boring parts. Halloween I didn’t work so instead I went for a lovely ride. Mostly just cruising around, went south to Northfield among other places. The next day I went to a party in Duluth for Halloween, sure it was a day late but it seemed like fun. On Monday my car stereo broke over my lunch break, tons of fun there. Tuesday I voted and then worked until almost 8 pm. But more on the election in a little bit. After I got home from work I realized that my computer monitor had died so I got to begin dealing with that as well. So Friday I got out of work and went to circuit city, ended up with a nice big shiny 22″ monitor that I got to play with some that night before crashing out. Saturday was more work, seeing a friend, followed shortly by going over to one of my three favorite bars in the world. There is something to be said for a bar where you know everybody. Today I was up nice and early and took care of things before trekking back to circuit city to replace my car stereo. Ended up with a pioneer unit that looks rather nice but isn’t quite as nice as I thought it was going to be. Still worth the money and it has some features that my previous units haven’t had. Overall its nice to have things back to normal: computer in good working order, music while I drive, etc.
Work has been interesting and long recently. This week was about 56 hours worth of work but I have a feeling that is steadily going to climb, thankfully they are paying me extra for some of the work so I am doing good there. My boss announced his resignation this week, which I knew of ahead of time so I mostly watched other people’s reactions. Some of them were very pedestrian and boring and a few people were more interesting. There were a few where I could see the wheels turning already which amused me as I already thought through a lot of the same things. Now I just need to decide whether or not I want to apply for his job. Most likely I will apply although there is no guarantee that I will get it and there will certainly be some people ticked off at me if I do get offered the job. Win some lose some I suppose.
Speaking of winning and losing… the election, well, it was an election. Some of it I am happy with and some of the results disappoint me a great deal. Mostly I am happy that the election is over, everywhere except for MN anyway. We still have a heated recount going on between Al Franken and Norm Coleman for a senate seat. Means still no watching the news here for me. I have met both of the candidates personally a few times (although I rather doubt either of them remember it) and overall… well lets just say I am waiting for it to be over. And yes, in view of earlier posts I am aware of the irony that the election is only still going on here.
Upwards and onwards to different things, I have finally started to get used to daylight savings time. I understand its purpose and everything, hell it even does save electricity in my own experience although I have managed to get sick of the darkness already. Seems I am seeing the daylight less and less already. By Thanksgiving I imagine that it will be only during lunch time but hey, you get used to it. Or something. However the darkness does give me plenty of time to catch up on videogames, reading and so forth. Seems I have acquired quite the backlog all the way around and figure that I should be all caught up around the time spring finally comes around so I can begin the system again.
In terms of site news, well I still haven’t made a decision. I don’t always feel a compulsion to write although I do at times feel almost obligated to write even when there isn’t much going on. I have begun mentally working on a project for this site. Really its a throwback to something I haven’t done in a few years. I rather doubt that too many people will see it but its something I, at the moment, feel like doing so its worth it. I suppose its tied into some of the mental work I have been doing lately. Nothing too heavy but I have certainly been giving a bit of thought to some things recently.
Speaking of thinking, I found this article fascinating. Its certainly got a few things that I wonder a little bit about but a lot of it makes a great deal of sense. Sort of the same way that this article tells me a lot of things I already knew and expect.
Well that’s about that she wrote for the moment. Enjoy a very special music video.
