I'm so bored!

I just saw the commercial for Dirge of Cerberus and Gackt's "Redemption" was playing. Wee. Gackt-spotting on a boring Saturday night.

Remember when AMC played horror movies sometimes? I wish they still did. I could go for a scary movie tonight. It will seem more fitting around October though.

I'm going to make a real effort to get into Halloween this year. Last year it was difficult because of the hurricanes and everything. Everyone was still sort of dragging along, trying to get back on track. There were no haunted houses, especially the good ones in New Orleans. Nope. But this year, I'm hoping all the good Halloween hangouts are back with a vengeance. But not literally, because I just want to have fun, not die. Here's to hoping the hurricanes pass us up this year. I hope they pass up Florida too, because if my Disney plans are ruined I'll just go to sleep and not get out of bed for a few months. The only thing that could really ruin my Halloween this year is neglectful parents waiting until friggin 5:30 to come pick up their kids. Which happened last year and I'm pretty sure it's going to happen again. Some people just don't think. If you are going to take your child trick-or-treating you better have then picked up by AT LEAST 5:00 so you can have time to get home, feed them, put them in their costume and get them out there. And heaven forbid the people watching your children have any plans of their own. Last year, I ended up staying with a child until 5:45 and by the time I got home it was nearly impossible to navigate through my neighborhood and into my driveway. Then I had to rush to get into MY costume and get to where I needed to be. My other complaint is that there has been an absence of good Halloween movies on TV during Halloween. I recall the recent movies have been mildly suspenseful and not really Halloweeny....like Bram Stoker's Dracula and Halloween 3. I'm sure cable stations have better cards up their sleeves than those two gems.

Halloween is still a good ways away now, so I'll try to focus on this upcoming week. I need to come up with a list of values and a mission statement for a casino. Research time. I have a feeling that this semester is going to wear on my nerves. I know one class that already does. It doesn't even go towards my major, I just kind of needed the hours, therefore, I resent it. And I'll have to do a paper for it, ew.
I'm still debating in my mind whether to stick with my concentration or move to another. It'll be in the same major, so it's not that big of a deal, but whatever.

I need a Coke right now. BAD.

Summer was too short.

Myspace is acting like shit lately and I can never get into my account. Once I get the kinks worked out of posting vidoes on blogger, I'm probably going to move all of it over here. I say "probably" but we all know that means "maybe" or "never."

I start back at work on August 8. Summer was too short. I'm hoping the kids behave, but I think that's probably hoping too much. Four of the really annoying ones will be with Jodie for the first hour and a half, so I'm pretty happy about that. That leaves only one potential problem and I'm hoping against all hope that kid is enrolled in another school this year. It's not even because the kid is bad, it's because her mom is a psycho that looks for any excuse to cause trouble with the school. I hope the new principal doesn't put up with parents' ridiculous bullshit.

I used the word hope five times in the last paragraph. 'Tis the year of uncertainty.

Add two more hopes to the heap: Nintendo Wii and Disney World. Two more things to distract me from schoolwork, as if the DS wasn't doing a good enough job already.

Oh damn, if the Wii does come out this year, I can't move out like I planned because I need to save the money. I can see how that conversation would go.

"Grandma, I'm going to be an unnecessary burden on you for another year because I want to buy a new video game system."
"What about all those games you've been buying lately?"
"Those are for the DS."
"What's a DS?"
"Nevermind."
"You still got that Intendo you never play with. By the way, your cousin already graduated and she's got a good job with the state. When did you say you are going to graduate again?"

I realize the Wii is supposed to be pretty cheap, but "cheap" to others equals my whole paycheck.

Hmm...on second thought, I probably shouldn't start blogging exclusively on this site. I never write about anything interesting and at least all the bells and whistles of Myspace distract people from that.
