Back Home

Well, I am back home...

When I had initially scheduled by trip last week, I had some crapy United flight that was suppossed to leave at 7:30pm. Well , the last minute, a 4pm Continental flight opened up. I was so excited. I would be home early and I would be able to spend some time with the girls before bedtime.

Well, I get on the plane a few minutes after 4. We wait... and wait... and wait...

Then, the pilot says, "Sorry to inform you, but all flights going into (my destinantion) have been grounded due to storms in the (arrival destination) airport."

So, we sat on the plane for 2 hours. It was miserable. Thank God that the lady next to me was nice. But, sitting for that long really hurts the butt...

Thank God I am home!

Forgot my belt

AWWWWWW!!!!!

---taking deep breath---

I… forgot… my… belt…
Without a belt, these pants look like coaches/gym teachers pants.
Wow, that is an attractive look.

I am definitely going to have to buy a new belt at lunch…
Hopefully, this isn’t preview of today…
Wish me luck :D

New Week... Same Place....

Well, back in the same hotel in the same city with the same exact rental car... if only I had received the same hotel room... LOL

I am preparing for this to be a very busy week. The amount of work I have to do does not seem possible for anyone to complete. I feel like I have 200 hours of work to do in 5 days (do the math)...

Today was a weird day. Another person from my group has left the company.
Maybe they are just smart people leaving a 20's era factory work schedule.
We will see if I am really cut out for this...

Happy Father's Day

I am staying home next week!


I feel like I got a little gift.

Well, I am about to board my second Southwest flight. For some reason, the flight boarding, seating, the signage, the numbered poles... well, pretty much everything looks crazy to me.

For some reason, it un-nerves me... which is something a person doesn't need before boarding a plane. Wish me luck... I hope we land safely.

New Week and Same Place

Well, I am back in Chi-town... And, I just ate at Giordano's... Wow, that pizza is a gutbuster.
It is good, well as good as deep dish can be. NY Style pizza is so much better. I like those large, thin pieces that I can fold in half.

Today was a good day, though... I had a FIVE hour meeting that was scheduled today that was cancelled. I love when that happens.

I count down the moments until Thursday night...

Keanu Reeves

Anyone who has known me for some time knows that I am convinced that
Keanu Reeves is the worst actor ever!

Now, the world is starting to agree. This is from The Shiznit. Thanks, I couldn't have said it better myself...

POOR OLD KEANU REEVES. HE'S like the Littlest Hobo, travelling from movie to movie in the vain hope he’ll find a part for which he’s suitable. But at the end of every film, he walks off into the sunset with his tail between his legs, searching for that mythical role he can call his own. Whether he’s playing vampire hunters, environmental scientists or even just doctors, Reeves always seems hopelessly out of his depth: the man simply isn’t recognisable as a human being. The only times his acting has ever felt natural? As an idiot teenager in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and as a clueless dolt in The Matrix, the running time of which he spends looking confused and asking questions. Sounds about right. Let’s take a look at some examples of his contribution to casting nightmares over his illustrious and wooden career:

• BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA (1992) Keanu played vampire hunter Jonathan Harker, applying the same level of acting expertise that he did to Ted Theodore Logan.
  
• MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (1993) Reeves, like, totally sucked in his role as Don John in this Shakespeare comedy. Like, chill out, Shakespeare!


• LITTLE BUDDHA (1993) Keanu plays a Hindu prince called Siddhartha, who… actually we’ll just leave it there.


• CHAIN REACTION (1996) Reeves was Razzie nominated for his role as a genius scientist who invents a new source of energy. Of course he does.


• THE GIFT (2000) Keanu Reeves as an abusive husband? Why not! He’s already shown himself to have so much range!


• SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE (2003) Dr. Keanu Reeves looks after an elderly Jack Nicholson and falls in love with Diane Keaton. Elsewhere, reality happens.


• CONSTANTINE (2005) In the original comic, John Constantine is blonde and wiry and modelled after singer Sting. Wrong again, Hollywood!


• DOGSTAR (1991-2002) Reeves rocked out with his ‘band’ in the mistaken belief he could apply himself to music as easily as he could music. Fail.
  
  What next for Hollywood’s most ill-fitting jigsaw piece? Queen Elizabeth? Barack Obama? Jesus Christ? Whatever the role, Keanu can suck in it - just give him the chance.
