I could still see him around every corner, a frown upon his face...

Oddly enough, I wasn't really in the mood to see a movie last night but went with my best buddy to see Terminator Salvation anyway. I WAS GLUED TO THE SCREEN. I didn't even want to get back up to get me something to eat and I was starving. I fell in love with Sam Worthington who portrayed Marcus. One of the best actors I've seen in a long time. Christian Bale also fit the role of asn older John Connor and I had wondered if he would. And I'm so behind on everything that I didn't realize until I actually saw him that Anton Yelchin from Star Trek was Kyle Reese, an excellent choice by the way. I liked the movie enough that I'd love to see it again!

Curse my slow Internet-that's-not-suppose-to-be-slow-anymore. I've been trying to watch Robin Hood but it's all stuttery and slow and the sound doesn't match.

I have to work tomorrow though most everyone else has the day off, that kind of sucks.

I sit here, consoling myself with a big bowl of dutch chocolate ice cream, because my dear sweet little son hath given me the head cold from hell. I am in doubt that the combination of fever and ice cream will go well together but I'm willing to take my chances. I would be re-reading my latest Amelia Peabody mystery, The Snake, the Crocodile, and the Dog, but my eyes will not focus on the ridiculously small print in the book.

Some kind of weird thunderstorm passed through this afternoon. My co-workers and I had to get in the middle hallway where there are no windows because the town's warning sirens were going off again. It always seems so much worse when you can't SEE anything. I think they are overdoing the warning system, I thought it was just for tornadoes but it goes off for just about anything. I think we'll all become too used to it and begin to ignore it. Not good if there happens to be a real emergency.

Anyway, the mini pond was back in my yard when I returned home and everything else soggy and dripping, which put an end to my plans of flower planting and weeding and digging that I had happily planned for this evening. I suppose it was just as well because it was about that time that I realized that I was feeling funny because I was quickly coming down with this cold/virus thing. It also explains why I was having weird dreams last night and early this morning, I've noticed that usually precedes an illness.

Mother's Day sucked so bad that I can't even find the words to describe how I felt yesterday and today. Let's move on to the next hurdle in life...

If you like Star Trek in any kind of way, go to see the new film! No, it's not perfect and some things are different but it's highly entertaining and will put a smile on your face. I was a fan of the original Star Trek, watched it after school every day when I was very small. I also liked the first couple of movies but then was sporadic in watching the various TV shows. This new movie has certainly revived my interest.:)

As I have probably said before, I dislike wishing away my days but Friday evening cannot get here soon enough. Work is topsy-turvy, one relative's in the hospital and another confined at home sick (no not with the dreaded flu but some kind of other virus), and my washing machine is begging to be done away with. Oh, the wonders of my magical and exciting life.:)

I first found LiveJournal almost 4 years ago while looking for fanfiction about old favorites, Star Wars and The X-Files, and new favorite, Supernatural.:)

I didn't realize that the weather was going to be so bad today. By 9 AM we had no electricity and tree limbs down all over the yard. We were fortunate to get our electricity back on after only a few hours while some may not have any until tomorrow. I've picked up a lot of debris in the yard, most of the limbs except for one that's too heavy and another that's still partly connected to the tree and won't come loose. I'm not sure if it was a tornado or just wind that did the damage. A neighbor down the road said he heard the wind sounding very strange and he thought it was a tornado. The other side of town was the worst with trees in houses and roofs torn up. Nobody hurt though.

Mild SPOILERS! I've spent the last hour watching the last episode of Robin Hood. I think it may possibly be the best one I've seen yet. Guy gets better each time I see him and the Sheriff and Prince John are easily watchable too. I like the new character of Isabella. I don't mind at all that she's involved with Robin. I never liked Robin and Marian together, mainly because I kept thinking how could she pick Robin over Guy. Now with Isabella being Guy's sister there can still be a rivalry for her but it won't be romantic on Guy's part. I even felt kinder towards Kate.

Everybody's always talking about the reality shows like Survivor and also the Dancing with the Stars and American Idol shows. I never watch them, I just don't have an interest in them. But my co-workers and friends are always talking about them and it's easier to let them ramble on than to throw them into stunned silence by reminding them that I don't watch these shows.:)

Hey...it's Friday! *claps hands in giddy excitement*

I don't know why I'm so happy about that since I still have the same things to do tomorrow, besides work. I'll just have more hours to do it.

Shrimp for supper! If you were here I'd share!
