Heh, I've got my dad addicted to Wii Bowling.

I just wanted to pop in here quickly let everybody know that I had my gall bladder out last Thursday, thus the lack of posting again. I was in the hospital all last week. I'll post a little more details about the ordeal later. For now, I'm just trying to get back to "normal."

I know I haven't posted the details here yet about the crap that went down at work. I'll do a Reader's Digest version (as my Mom used to say) soon. Anyway, normally I'd be stressing because I'd be leaving for work in about 10 minutes, but tomorrow is my first day back on day shifts. w00t! The hell of working 6pm-6am (and worse the Midnight to 6am shift on Wednesdays) is over. I'm going to be doing a different job than I was and honestly, this new job will be very stressful and boring, but it will be a welcome break to the PITA that my old job had become. This was a choice of a lesser of two evils, so I'm still keeping my eyes open for a better opportunity. It's still 12 hour shifts (7am-7pm) and the schedule will still flip flop every 4 months. I'll get the details later in the week as to what days I will be working. At least I'll get my Friday night date night back with Marcus and I'll be able to go to my knitting groups again. That said, I'd better head off to bed. I sure hope somebody told the evening supervisor that my schedule changed and nobody tries calling me after midnight to find out why I didn't come to work. LOL

I really missed doing these on my hiatus. This one was hard to narrow down since there are soooo many marvelous characters from which to choose!

Ten Favorite Movie Characters

1. Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies
2. Severus Snape (swoon Alan Rickman!) from the Harry Potter movies
3. Tow Mater (voice Larry the Cable Guy) from Cars
4. Jay & Silent Bob (Jason Mewes & Kevin Smith - OK, that's two people, but they're really one character) from any Kevin Smith movie they are in
5. Neo (Keanu Reeves) from The Matrix Trilogy
6. Burt (Dick Van Dyke) from Mary Poppins
7. Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
8. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) from Lord of the Rings
9. Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) from The Wedding Singer
10. Austin Powers (Mike Myers)

Gah, I am so out of practice with all this web coding stuff — use it or lose it. I've definitely lost it. I spend hours today jacking around with css that wasn't working. My sidebars are a mess, I totally forgot to make sidebar headers, my comments page is nowhere close to done. It'll be wonky for a few days while I mess with it, but since I'm live, perhaps I'll be more inclined to actually get it all fixed.
