Thursday, October 8

Yesterday was an entirely wasted afternoon. I spent 4+ hours reviewing interrogations and counseling sessions. Today, guess what? A plea offer you dream of... Notes - trashed...time - wasted.

Listening to and watching the dvds was brutal. Then, I began to feel disgusted with the tone of voice the authority figures were using. I was intrigued, however, with the reaction of all involved. I can imagine, on one hand, that has to be a phone call you dread receiving...yet, the reaction was hilarious. (p.s. this was no life/death situation) The resulting revelations were frustrating and, at times, sad. Someone dropped the ball, but placing blame isn't that easy...

_______________________

Sorry I subjected you to the above, I didn't want the day to be a complete waste.
Quick recommendations:

TV: Modern Family - if you haven't been watching, catch up online
Parks & Recreation - I admit I was ready to ditch this show, but it has been hilarious this season

Movies: If you get a chance to see the Toy Story double feature, GO! The 3D may be pure novelty, but I loved it. Next up, I must see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Books: Lush Life
House of Night series - these were recommended by the two Jamies. It's another vampire series. This one is set in Tulsa, OK.

o-k-l-a-h-o-m-a

Lots of driving and laughing last weekend during a trip to Oklahoma. First up was Miami, followed by Family Jam and the after-party with MMC.

We may have been a little to overzealous Friday... We missed the first 4.5 hours of Family Jam. Oops. LOL

Miami wore me out. It was a fun show and good times. It was one of those shows that we got to spend a little downtime before and after, since it began at 8 and ended around 10. The casino didn't have free drinks, but $1.25 is nothing to sneeze at for a beer. Checkout came MUCH too early. We got sidetracked in Tulsa, and showed up in OKC in time for an early dinner. Iron Starr...mmmmmm. I also got Jamie and Tracy to go along with us, so that was a bonus.

We got to Family Jam just in time to see McClure. Perfect. Also, the sun was just setting, even better! Tesla was an experience. Ragweed was great. I always think I can do without their live shows, and then wonder how I go the entire year only seeing them 2 or 3 times.

We raced downtown to see Micky after the show. That was worth the trip alone. They're one of my favorites, hands down. Stoney joined them for much of the end of their set. That meant lots of good, classic covers. I loved it.

Sunday, I spent a lot of time with the Jamies. I also got to spend some time in Norman. I plan to get back in November.

This week at work has been focused on blood and denial of medical treatment. What fun! I'm ready to go see the Toy Story/Toy Story 2 double feature tomorrow.
