Saw two movies today, "The Bourne Supremecy" and "The Village". I will talk of the "The Village" first, it was a slow paced movie that seemed to drag its feet towards the end. I can not prove this to you, after all this is the internet and people believe the strangest most untrue things anyway, but I told my mom what I thought the twist at the end was going to be. This was with me having read or heard no reviews before hand. I won't spoil anything by giving the twist, but my mom was at least impressed that I nailed the twist the way that I did. It was an alright movie, won't be renting it when it's out on DVD. Will not go to another M. Night movie again, though.

Now to "The Bourne Supremecy". Having seen "The Bourne Identity" when it came out and now owing a copy of it on DVD (bought it this evening), I was anxious to see "The Bourne Supremecy". I did enjoy it and will buy the DVD of it when it is released. There was probably a moment here or there where the pace slowed down, but overall I loved it. I may end up seeing it again before it leaves theaters. My only problem was that in some of the action scenes the camera work was to wiggly. What I wanted, was to see the fighting, not feel as though I was apart of the fight. Other than that I really liked the movie, it kept my interest and left me wanting a little more.

Had an odd dream last night, but when do dreams every really make sense. Anyway, I dreamt that I was in a hidden computer lab/room and some folks in black suits and sunglasses came knocking wanting to "talk" with us. Everyone in the lab dismantled a computer rather quickly and got the motherboard before grabbing some diskettes. We then scrambled out of the run via a secret hallway. Once outside we went our separate ways. At some point I was walking towards a park, while there was no one sitting on the benches, but I could tell there were people in an area not far from where I entered the park. When I was in the middle of the park near a fountain, I opened a can of coke (not sure where it came from) and began drinking. As I continued through the park, I could tell that I was being followed. When I got out of the park, I quickened my step and went on a path that cut through some yards. When I got off the path, I crossed the street I came upon and then made my way down a hill. There was another park at the bottom of the hill. I crossed the joggers path and made my way to the pond. At this point it went from being fall to winter as the pond was frozen over and covered with snow and ice. There was a path going cross it which I took advantage of. I looked back to the other side of the pond and saw the guys in black standing there talking, I turned and began to walk up a hill. Even though the streets were icy, traffic was managing pretty well. I don't know where I got it either, but I was listening to a radio that was tuned to some odd morning show type program. That's all I remember because I woke up at that point. Not sure what any of it means.

I have been struggling the past couple days with depression. Today has seemed harder to cope with things then yesterday. Pushing a large rock up a hill would be easier then dealing with depression most days.

So far it hasn't rained yet. The only thing on the roof that I know of that needs any repair is the flashing in the valleys. We had the roof done a couple summers ago and for some reason didn't have it replaced. Guess the guy who did it, didn't think it was a problem. Though I don't know why he failed to bring it up. My mom and I share this house and to get her help me out on this project is harder than getting the dead to communicate. We are both in agreement that heights are not a good thing, but I can suck it up when needed to to things that require me being on something high. An I don't mean standing on a skyscraper either. If the money was there to have someone else take care of it, I'm sure she would rather have that happen then to get on the roof. But money being a little tight for both of us, anything we can do ourselves is good.

Managed to get rid of my headache, though it was a mild one. I have been trying my best not to let depression get the best of me but I am not doing a very good job of it today.

Mowed the front yard yesterday and mowed the backyard this morning. Rain, or at least chance of rain, has been forecast for the next three days. Which is just great. The lousy clayish soil in our area hasn't fully dried out from the rain we got Saturday.

When I went down to the laundry room to start a load of clothes, I noticed a liitle bit of water seeping in around the pipe that takes the water to the septic tank. It wasn't there when I did a couple loads of laundry yesterday. I sure as heck don't want to have to call someone out to take care of the septic tank but will have too if it gets worse. The rain could amke things worse or I am just making nothing out of nothing.

My moms birthday is next week. Barring anything bad happening in the next few days, we will be going to a couple movies over the weekend, both of her choice, and going to lunch as well. On the evening of her actual birthday we will go out to eat at the restaurant of her choice. All I have to do is remember to make the cake, and not be in total bitch form.

We got 1 and 3/4's inch of rain yesterday over a period of several hours. It started raining about 4 or 5 am and didnt stop until earlier afternoon. There were a couple periods of heavy rain, but for the most part it was a light rain.

Been reading a lot of the messages on the George Eads and Jorga Fox deal in the CSI yahoo group about the show. Most people seem to favor the stars. I am sorry ( or maybe I am not) but both stars did not make the show. They were support characters that I didn't much care for. I don't hate the actors or the charcters, but had they (the actors) not come back, I wouldn't have missed them. Nobody oversleeps by accident for some three hours. Not in the real world and not too much in Hollywood. Unless you're trying to milk people out of more cash. These people make more than a lot of average people and they are able to do things that average people can not do. They can pretend to be sick or to have overslept and then in the end, they get to keep their job and get more cash. Let's see if a cashier at the grocery store or someone else in the real world can try that and still keep their jobs.

Ok rant mode off and I am breaking this soap box.

The past couple days hasn't been as hot as it was last week or even earlier this week. I doubt it we get to the mid-eighties today. It is suppossed to be a bit cooler for the next few days.

Saw Shrek 2 on Tuesday. It was the second time I have seen it, I caught a couple things I missed the last time I saw it. Don't think it was as funny as the first Shrek. But it was still a good movie.

Woke up with a mild headache. Don't know if it means a weather change is afoot or it's an allergy headache. Of course, it could just be a plain old headache.
 
Because of the heat and heat index today and tomorrow, I am going to be doing only those things that are needed. After that I will fiddle around online, before laying as still as possible. I have stuff to read, watch, listen to so my brain will be slightly entertained. There is even a possiblity of taking a nap.
 
I will go to the library Saturday and look for something interesting to read. One thing that I love about the library is, if you don't like the book, you haven't spent any money on a it so if you don't like you can return it. May checkout more than just a book or two.

Enjoyed a dinner out after an errand. Although it wasnt that hot, I did like sitting in a cool restaurant and having a light meal.
 
Allergies have been fairly strong this season, which surprises me. Typically I dont have that many problems when the heat comes into play because it seems to kill much of what I am allergic too. Of course when I win the lotto and am able to afford a house with a purified air system and a large indoor pool, I will have it made, but until then I do what I can.

We got almost two inches of rain in yesterday mornings storm.  Looks like more rain could be possible this weekend.
 
Woke up with a headache. Had errands to take care of this morning so I couldn't lay around and moan. Which might have been fun. Even though I have taken something for the pain, I can still feel some pressure.
 
Not sure what I will do the rest of today. Will try and get somethings done tomorrow. Hopefully next week I can get caught up on some yardwork.

A storm came in earlier this morning and dumped some much needed rain on us. Some areas around town have some high water and our ditch is full, but we got some rain. Havent had any this week. Didnt know if Mother Nature didnt like us anymore, because she was going to let a week go by without giving us some rain.
 
Earlier in the week was pretty warm. The humidity was the problem. (Humidity is a good thing in moderation). Had deoderant failure a couple days. Will be getting some more powerful deoderant at the gorcery store this weekend. Its a good thing I wasn't out and about, might've had people fleeing from the smell. Not that it was that bad.

I will never understand why people do what they do anymore then I understand why animals do what they do. I sell books, pottery among other things on eBay. What irritates me is the fact that people can't sit down and write a quick email as to when they will send payment or the fact that they got an item. Would it be so hard to write "Got it. Thanks" or "Will get payment out on such and such day"? Not asking them to right the next great American novel, just want to know that there is a living person on the other end of the line. I mean dead people communicate only so much. If you can take two seconds to bid on something, then why not spend two seconds to write an email to the seller. Ok rant mode off until next time. Have a nice day.

The past three days have been fairly hot. Heat indexes has been over 100 degrees. Today is suppossed to be be in the mid-90's. And it already feels like it will get that hot. Humidity hads to the problem, if it was a dry heat it wouldn't be that bad.

Have been vamping for things to do while it's this hot. Some days I am glad we don't have wall to wall A.C., then there are days like this I wish we had it. But it would cost a small fortune. We, along with the pets, are a bit miserable, but it won't be like this all the time.

We have had a cool summer so far, but it looks like we are going to be getting a bit of a heat wave for at least the next few days. Will alter my schedule to get most of my things done in the morning.

Have some DVDs I still haven't watched, seems silly I know but I have to be in the right frame of mind to watch it otherwise I am just wasting time.

The holiday threw me off my schedule. Then having headaches and depression didnt help either. Will get back on track next week.

With the way the weather has been lately, I havent mowed to much. Not that I ever enjoy mowing mind you, but I know it needs to get done. Had to mow the backyard, a job I usually do on Sundays, this afternoon because I will be doing other things this weekend and didnt want to have a problems with neighbors. Not that it was really bad.

Havent been sleeping well lately. And have been having odd dreams, not that I can recall a great deal of what I dreamt. Some people dont put any stock in what you dream while some people put a lot of stock into what dreams mean. Im sort of in the middle.

It started raining sometime this morning and it got heavy enough to put some rain into the basement and fill up the ditch as well as quite a few holes.

Its trash day, Monday was a holiday so they didn't pick up, theres water in the basement and the car won't start. I'm also having a slight panic attack, menstating and to top it off I am fighting depression. Got out on an errand yesterday and had trouble starting the car, was scared I would be stranded and have to walk home to tell mom the car wouldnt start. Was able to get out and back without trouble but it just won't turn over today. Seems things like this come in waves. Can't have one problem to deal with, no that would be too easy.

Yesterday was loud for most of the day and well into the night. We have neighbors that were lighting loud things at 11pm. Some people just don't stop to think what they are doing to other people. Guess that would take a conscience. It was also rather warm yesterday. Thought we might have a cool 4th, but like some many 4ths I remember as a kid...it was hot, humid and still. The over night a storm roared in and dumped half an inch of rain.

Saw "The Stepford Wives" today. Wanted to go to a movie and picked it, it wasn't too bad. There were a few things that just didn't add up and the last third of the movie dragged on, but overall it was a 2 and one half star movie. Figure its like disaster movie ( which I like a lot) in that certain things aren't meant to make sense, its just mindless fun.

We got about an inch and a quarter to a inch and a half of rain rain over the course of today. The heavest of the rains came this afternoon around four pm.

Forgot to get something while I was at the store last night so I could not make what I had planned. So instead, my mom and I went out to the bank, bought some fireworks and then went to a pizza place for dinner. Those were each seperate places. I dont want to make it sound like we cashed a check, bought fireworks and a pizza all at one place, because that would be just weird. Although there's a place in town that I crack jokes about. You can go in cash a check, buy a gun and some booze, get drunk in the parking lot only to drive off to go shot someone....which isnt funny if it really happens to you.

Sunday is the Fourth. And nothing says America like blowing stuff up to celebrate freedom.

Rain is in the forecast for the next couple days. I have slight headache because of the weather change.

Still in the process of switching stuff from the old computer to the new computer. Also I dont know if I have thought of all the places I have put my email address, in the process of changing ISP's. My luck I will remember something months from now.

Lost power for about 45 minutes to an hour this morning. There must have been a surge just before we lost power because one of my vcrs is acting up. Maybe its just a fluke.
