With a vengeance.
Jun. 7th, 2005 12:12 amMonday struck hard today for me - the doctor's appointments turned out fine, though. It's just that this week was one where work wanted me in to help play grunt and move some materials here and there... and being away as I was, well, I didn't see it until Sunday night. That was okay, though. Well, I had also managed to leave my keys at my grandmother's, and so there was a little jockeying there between cars and such - it all got sorted out, but just another thing that went funny. I almost had to do extra innings on the umpiring shift tonight, but that was avoided. While there was a parking spot when I came home today, it was not available and I had to park in another lot while I was at work.
One of my friends from real life had his sister die today. It's tough expressing the empathy you feel when someone close to someone close to you dies. Especially for this guy - I hope his natural vitality doesn't dry up. For those inclined to prayer and positive energies, he and his family could probably use some. While the basketball team won to return to the Finals and the college softball team rallied from losing early this morning to beat Tennessee and get into the championship game, they lost the first of the best-of-three 5-0. They'll have to beat the champions twice now to gain their own title. Still, it's the farthest into the tournament they've gotten in a long time. I hope that both teams win out.
Tomorrow, I go back to work, as desk rather than as grunt, although I may get roped into doing a fair amount of that, too. Just the way things seem to be going. I'm not quite re-caught up on my internet life, and so things like my comic suffer. Then again, it wasn't like anyone was reading it anyway. So I suppose I chalk it up to Piro's influences, blame him, and get on with things. Perhaps at the desk, if the work isn't calling, I'll draw. Or maybe I'll spend a lot of work catching up on things and not draw. All things are possible - and I'm going to have quite the backlog of animation to get through when I have a free moment.
On an unrelated tangent, somehow I think there are potential parallels between Straight Edgers violence and what passes for "moral values" in this country. It's kinda like what![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greyweirdo said - people latch onto the Ten Suggestions because it's kinda like a get-rich-quick scheme, but they find out that actually following the rules is a little hard, so they halfass it, sometimes as a result doing things in the name of moral values that are definitely immoral. Or they focus themselves on things like nipples as the target of their indignation. Of course, then the rest of us snicker at something like a Parents magazine cover such as this, and then make some forest and trees joke.
So, off to bed. Tomorrow is more of the same. Wednesday may be as well. I'll get around to whether or notuncle_pervy has uncovered yet another shameless attempt to curb the power of the judiciary or not tomorrow, most likely. Along with a few other fun things from the neoconservative front. But, as D.C. Simpson rightly proclaims, politics is a disease - and there's always politics that isn't going your way. G'night, people. I'll find some other way of weaseling out of letting you see my artwork tomorrow.
