Velcro Done You Wrong

[ninj]

Velcro has become public enemy number one in our home. We're not sure why, the party who decreed this is remaining tight lipped. So it remains hidden where both it and we are safe. Someday this will all make sense to you loyal readers, I swear.

I just bought Dr. Horrible from iTunes. I wished I'd thought about it though and gotten the version from Amazon. I forgot about the singing commentary. How is this possible you might ask? I have no idea. Still, I watched it and I enjoyed it very much the second time. Woot. New music (because the soundtrack was also purchased).

The new year is looking good so far. I spent some time at home in WI and got to see Chex. Which was nice. She's having a rough time of it. We've made a joint resolution to keep family members out of the hospital. Because that just sucks. We only got to visit for a few hours, but I miss my roommate. It was good times. I also got to see my family including all my grandparents. I hear the big draw was Chris and I. It was good to see them. We played lots of games and were generally lazy. It was a good visit.

Then Chris and I flew home to Fresno only to rest for two hours before driving down to LA to spend time with his family for New Years. It was a lot of fun. Took the dogs to the beach in a disaster beach trip. Scout nearly ripped my arm out and was growling at small dogs. He's never this bad off leash, but he WOULD.NOT.LISTEN. So I had to keep him on leash. Not the best beach trip ever. Totally made up for by the fact that Scout was very good at all other times this weekend. It's just frustrating that for every step forward with him we go back. And he's practically THREE. Settle down already. That said plans are being made for him to join us in June even if we're in Fresno or somewhere else. don't ask where the somewhere else is because I don't know.


Air National Guard is more up in the air (haha, sorry) then I thought it was and it appears that it's going to stay that way. They're willing to do the evaluations but Chris won't take time off school and isn't sure he wants to saddle us with a three year contract to stay in Fresno. I'm not sure either. So we'll see how that goes.

I start work again tomorrow. I'm glad to be earning money again, but ugh. Back to getting up at five thirty.

Good to hear you got to see Christine, I haven't heard much from her lately.

Dogs really don't start calming down until they're 5 or so, seriously.

Chex is kinda in a holding pattern and not very happy about it. Try her on AIM?

I've known dogs to start calming down soonner. Tragically, these dogs have spoiled me. This is all compounded by the eight month old mini aussie Chris and I met at a Christmas party that followed all commands and was able to be a in a crowd of people. *le sigh* We'll get there soon. And I still love my crazy black lab mutt.

I was glad to make it to the midwest too. It's always good to spend time with dogs. I'm glad to hear you got to do something fun.

Are you back in Iowa? How's life for you?

Dr. Horrible is pretty awesome. A lot of women have problems with the ending, but I thought it was fine, and mostly fun.

Ninj boi has been said hi to. He looks thrilled. Only slightly more thrilled then when I mention BSG starts this month and I AM WATCHING IT.

Job is still ugh. I got to keep it which a lot of the people hired with me can't say. tragically, don't think prison is going to work out.
