Of working on the weekends

I'm not fond of it at all. The truncating of my weekend is harmful to my oft calm and chipper demeanor. Today we worked 6 hours. Just now, I settled into bed, and someone called me from work. I missed the call by the time I got to my cell phone.

Hopefully, nothing comes of that, for I will be in the office at 8am anyway.

Blargh.

The good news is, Arcade Fire was on SNL tonight. I love them even more!

I would have to say the worst part about working on the weekend is that I am a night owl, and I don't want to go to bed yet. However, since I'm long-long-long past 18, I just can't run on as little sleep as I could in the day.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I'm cranky right now.

However, the good news is:
1. Seeing Arcade Fire on SNL
1a. Arcade Fire is playing in Berkeley on June 1st and 2nd
2. I have tickets to see the Police in Oakland in June.
3. I think I'll be buying a toy with the proceeds from overtime. Hint: it rhymes with clingsocks.
4. It's raining outside!
5. I had a great drum lesson today and a good afternoon with taogrl.
6. Richard Shindell is touring California soon.

JC and the Family Tomb

So, JC (James Cameron) is directing a documentary on what he and others belive to be the tomb of big JC (Jesus Christ). They have DNA test results. From what I can tell in the article the dna test results show conclusively that they found DNA. But I'll bite. I plan on watching the show.

From the "Not in my Uterus" Files, Discovery news also reports on the reproductive plight of female stumpies.

"The largest members of the skink family, stumpies give birth to a single infant that is, on average, 35 percent of the mother's body weight. The growing fetus lies on top of the mother's lungs and digestive tract such that, in the latter stages of gestation, the females can no longer move much or eat.

Apparently, it's the equivalent to human women giving birth to a 7 year old. The price they pay for trying to further their species! My reproductive organs just folded their fallopian "arms" in a defiant "hell no" pose.

I just hope that if there's such a thing as reincarnation, I hope I don't come back as a stumpie.

I'm on Season 2 of "Six Feet Under". Good stuff.

In other news, I added a wish list on my Tivo for Godzilla movies, hoping to capture some old campy monster movies if they are ever aired on any number of my gazillion cable channels. I got a hit today. Godzilla from 1998 starring Matthew Broderick. And it's dubbed in Spanish. Not quite what I was looking for, but hey.

I found the Slingbox Pro from Buy.com for $199 and free shipping. So, a new toy is on its way.

I spent 11 hours at work today. I look forward to sleep. Still, my inner child is throwing a tantrum for losing much of her weekend. But all things considered, I have my health, my limbs, and fourteen hours of overtime. I'll find a way to get over it. And the big plus is that I enjoy working with my coworkers, so we had some good times while we toiled.
