Sarcastic Bastard

i've kinda reverted back to old habits here...i was getting pretty good at posting regularly, but lately i just haven't gotten around to it much.

i bought the Lord of the Rings gift set for myself this week. it was more money than i'd normally spend, but i really enjoyed the movie, am a big fan of the books, and decided to spoil myself. i haven't really been buying many dvds lately anyway, so i wasn't too concerned about the extra money. so far, i haven't watched much of it, though. i checked out the fifth disc (national geographic special), and it was really interesting. and last night, i put in disc 3, and watched the first documentary, about tolkien's life and the creation of the books and their mythology. fascinating stuff...i can't wait to see the rest! there's about 8 hours of material, though, so it may take a while. then of course there's the 3 hour movie, which i'd have to watch 4 additional times in order to hear each commentary. that'll keep me busy for a while! my other dvd purchase this week was david gilmour in concert. that's also a really impressive disc. the concert is great, and there's some nice bonus material on it.

but enough about dvds for now. i've been working fairly regularly the past little while, which is good. i've suddenly noticed a nice growth in my bank account, and that eases my worries a little bit, especially considering i just paid off a few higher than normal bills. now i'm going to make a real effort to save more money. fortunately, i don't see any major expenses for myself in the near future, though i'm really tempted to buy a dvd recorder at some point.

i've gotten into this strange pattern of forgetting about things for a few days, then trying to backtrack and recall them for posterity. i do it all the time with work: i go a few days without recording how many hours i put in, then i have to try to remember what hours i worked. usually i just make up a number...not like they check anyway! hehe
but it also happens with this. i could have a dozen thoughts to write about in this space, but if i don't do it right away, i can't think of them anymore. then i resort to talking about the superficial details of my life, without exposing new truths, or interesting things. maybe i should carry around a notebook or something.
