I'm still alive

[amalthia]

I started working at a new job two weeks ago and at work I'm kind of trying to be cautious about using the internet because they monitor internet activity. As a result, I barely have any time for fandom. But I'm still alive, and I'm reading some stories. Though I think I'm going to have to be a lot more selective than I have been in the past. Not sure how I'm going to pick. Obviously, when I had some time I still racked up a huge list of stories to read.

I'm really looking forward to the extra 2 days I'll have off for x-mas. I'm hoping to add more stories to the Ebook Library and catch up on reading a bit. :)

In the meantime, I had a very busy and fun weekend. Friday night my husband and I went and saw Slumdog Millionarie and it was AWESOME and tragic and so very good. If you get the chance SEE THIS MOVIE. Saturday night one of my husband's co-workers had a x-mas party at her house and we went and stayed for 4 hours or so. Today, was my husband's company x-mas party? it was lame. Very very lame. It was a brunch and I don't mind all the kids but really I had better food in high school. (It was eggs, cold french toast, and basic breakfast food you had to stand in line to get)

The real highlight of my day besides calling my friend lovesrain44 (which to be fair I do almost every night anyways) was meeting the really lovely and friendly tealin. We talked for 2 hours about fannish stuff and time flew by very quickly until we both realized we still had errands to run and had to part ways. I had a blast and I really hope we get the chance to meet again in January.

We miss you down here in Houston. I understand you called up to the office the other day and chatted with Rose. Glad things are going well. :)

[amalthia]

Yep, I called on Friday. :) I actually really miss being able to talk with Rose and wanted to see how she was doing. I figured you're on my flist so you know what's happening. though I noticed things have been quiet on your end but I figured you guys were swamped.

are you going to visit family for the holidays?

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm going up to Dallas on Wednesday and coming back probably Sunday, then doing the same for New Year's.

[amalthia]

Well I think it goes without saying I hope your trip goes well and no traffic jams. :) I hear it got cold in Texas. Merry x-mas. :)

Same to you guys. I don't think we'll have a white Christmas but it did come close.

The Browncoat shindig was fun; the Bedlam bards showed up. :)

[amalthia]

I saw the post about it and really wanted to go.

I need to see that movie, everyone says it really good. :)

[amalthia]

You really should see it if you get the chance. But keep in mind it's 2 hours if not longer. I made the mistake of drinking way too much water at dinner and the last 30 minutes I couldn't just leave and miss any part of the movie!
