Generic Update (plus cut rant)

Still trying to plan this party, but my mother wants to visit. I guess I have to be nice -- Mother's Day is coming up, after all. I promised her we could rent "Reign of Fire" to watch on my DVD player because no one else will see it with her and she hates going to the cinema alone. I anticipate, after the shoe-shopping fiasco (she wants me out of the Docs. Just because she buys 'em doesn't mean I have to wear 'em), we'll wind up sitting around my living room, getting drunk and watching flash-forward-fantasy on my itty-bitty TV.

After that, there's Shinji. He called last weekend while I was in Brighton to ask if I felt like going to Worthing to watch "IICY?" on his DVD player (he has a region one, lucky little shit). I said we'd reschedule but of course it can't be next weekend -- Mother's Day. Shame I didn't get his e-mails on the subject sooner -- I don't know how big Sussex is but I'm sure it couldn't have taken very long to get from Brighton to Worthing for an afternoon. Ah well, there'll be another time.

The war. The bloody war. That's one we don't talk about at work anymore. We prefer to bitch about the patients. And the doctors -- we have two new ones. One's ... very thorough. Overly thorough. And while we appreciate his trying to make sure we understand him, we'd really prefer him talk at slightly up from Ent-speed. And it'd be nice if the new consultant treated the secs like something other than furniture. But at least it gives us something to laugh about.

I think I'm gonna go out, not this weekend but next. This weekend I'm catching up on the sleep I missed in Brighton. (I didn't party in Brighton -- just the bed sucked.) But it'll be nice to actually get to Full Tilt this time around, now that I'm in the right mood to do it solo. Or not, depending on if johnny_eol turns up again.
