I know, I know. Honestly though, I've been too damn busy/tired to update this thing. But now that I've got a decent day off from work, a few thoughts:

2. I have yet to hear of any three-quel that piques my intrest, regardless of the inclusion of pirates or Jack McLaine.
3. ATHF Colon Film for Movie Theaters was hilarious, but the soundtrack is even better, and a good way to keep a driver awake.
4. This marathon stuff is finally showing a dark side.

*sigh* fiiiine, a REAL update.

At the behest of some folks whom I'm surprised haven't forgotten about me (note: more a self-directed comment than a judgement of them), I will give a real accounting of what I've been up to.

First off, the work situation, since that's taken the large bulk of my time and energy. I'm still working at the ol' Drury, though the location might change. The new hotel in O'Fallon is opening at the end of January, and it's looking like if I transfer there, I'm guarrunteed full-time hours, doing just house jobs! That's right, no more jack-of-all-trades headaches. I'd basically be a janitor with meeting set-up duties.

Sort of following topic, I will finally have health coverage. This was iffy for a while: so much so that I took another full-time job, working overnights at a local C-Store. Unfortunately, the spirit was willing, the flesh...ehhhh, not so much. But hey, it's resolved, so, chapter read, lesson learned.

Otherwise, I'm still running like Gump. Well, no I do stop. A lot, actually. Fine, it was a bad reference. But I ran the Alton River Road Run. Got a time under my goal of 1:15, so that was good. Now - according to some people - I just need to eat something. Which should be easy, except I'm a head case.

Church is ok...Youth is there. Not much more to say about that yet. Contemporary is going alright, though it's hard to know who I can depend on from week to week.

Socially, things are ok. I have one really good friend who I see on a regular basis, and that's it. Which, don't get me wrong, I love her to death, but I'd like a larger social circle, and I think it'd be healtier for all parties concerned.

As far as the family situation, I'm ok with things, except I keep taking on responsibility that no one asks me to. Bad, because it stresses me out to no end, but sometimes, financially, it's been hard to not feel it's the only way.

I think that's about all I've got. Now that I'm caught up, I can post about current events later and not leave folks scratching their heads.

Rock on, my friends, rock on.
