Sarcastic Bastard

wow, 3 days without a post...just been too tired, and busy with various things. before i write anything, i should say a few words about oscar fever, which started a while ago, but is officially in full swing now (see robin's blog). i'm not a fan of the oscars, mostly because of a crime committed in 1997 (well, march of '98, i guess) when LA confidential was snubbed in almost every category. but really, i just don't care about any awards shows. i don't care how the stars are dressed, who's on their arms, what they have to say, or who wins. in the end, i'd just be disappointed that the films i root for don't get the recognition i feel they deserve. so for me, it just makes more sense to know in my heart which films are good, and let all those who don't be damned.

but anyway, this isn't meant to be an anti-oscars post...just a thought about it.

i'm sitting at work today, with very little to do. it's RSP season, so the bankers are all too busy with clients to be concerned about training sessions. so we have a nice quiet week. which gives me time to think of my own RSP issues. i've been meaning to go to the bank to discuss my investments for this year, and hopefully i'll get to that this week. the past few years, i've done it myself, online...but this year, i'm gonna get some educated advice over what i do. my mutual funds have all been tumbling, a fact that would bother me more if i had more invested in them, but still concerns me a bit. however, the ones i have are also fairly consistent over the long term, so i don't think i need to panic just yet. in fact, with the current economic situation, now is probably a good time to invest...of course, i'm sure dubya will try very hard to cause more economic strife in the world in the short term, but someday things will stabilize. too bad i don't own oil...

been a busy few days...a cousin of mine got engaged (everybody seems to be on the bandwagon, ever since shawna and i did it! dave...you next? hehe), and our own wedding stuff has been continuing. last night, we set what i hope is the absolute final date. we finally have one that we're both happy with, and nobody in the family had to be disappointed. now we just have to hope it doesn't rain! unfortunately, meteorologists don't do forecasts for a year and a half from now. stupid weathermen.
