2007 Here we come...

It's officially 2007. Once more I'm going to have to train my mind to remember to put 07 instead of 06 on things. It usually takes me until June to get it figured out.

With any luck this year will be a lot more productive then last year. Jen and I spent most of last year scraping by. More often then not we barley managed to make rent, let alone the rest of our bills. Tomorrow I am once again going to have to go job hunting. I've been working for my uncle Tim for the last few months, but it's seasonal and there is no work until March, maybe April. He has a job, 100,000 feet of silt fencing to do. We can start it the first day the frost breaks. But, again, that won't be until March or April.

The bright side is that if I can find a way to survive until then I'll be able to work for him this summer and hopefully make enough money to pull us out of this slump we are in. I hate not having money to go do stuff with.

On another note, we spent last night at home watching movies for the new year. Cam came over and we just hung out. It was cool, I'm not much for parties, or getting drunk. Especially for new years, if you go out then you have to come home. And between the stupid drunk drivers and the cops the trip really isn't worth it. We rented a few movies, Pulse, Click, Lady in the Water, and Memoirs of a Geisha. We also used a few gift cards to buy Superman Returns and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

All in all I was mostly disappointed in the movies. Pirates was slow, and lacking in a plot. Though it had good effects and slapstick comedy. It wasn't even remotely as good as I expected. Pulse was decent, I'm glad we waited for DVD. It had an okay story line behind it, but I spent the entire movie wondering why they didn't just shut everything off. Click was funny, in an Addam Sandler sort of way, again it was good DVD rental, but I won't be buying it. Lady in the water was the same, a good story, but not translated well to movie form. Memoirs of a Geisha was good, surprisingly so. I wasn't sure I was going to like it at the beginning. But it turned out to be an excellent view. All in all nothing I regret watching, but I'm glad it was rentals and not buys. Superman was Superman, how can you go wrong?

Now I'm just trying to function on not enough sleep, and trying to figure out what to do for the next 3 months. Wish I had some unemployment banked. Hell, I'd settle for taxes coming in.
