I’m listening to an interview with C. Michael Wright right now…

He’s an even bigger self-important, ego maniacal prick than I recall.

Well, had a great weekend with the family over my Birthday. I was tired and in pain most of the time, but it was great to play with the boys and just have some fun without worrying about dishes or laundry or anything.

Did have the most odd and mess-up dream last night that shook me.

I have an uncle who’s a dick. A huge dick, for that matter. He’s done some pretty messed up stuff in his time, everything from cheat on my aunt to being drunk at work.

I used to really look up to the guy…I was a kid and he treated me rather well. I think at some point he made it his mission to make up for me not having a father. I think all of my uncles came to that conclusion after a bit…but I digress.

Anyway, there was a time that I idolized this guy. His wife, my aunt, was one of my favorite people in the world as well. (And here’s part of the reason he’s a huge dick, he’s changed her to a mere shell of her former self)

Anyway, in this dream I see the man dead in a coffin, and I suddenly know I’m the one who killed him. I don’t tell anyone this, and everyone else seems to think he’s killed himself or died naturally.

I don’t remember much else about it, but those are the weird things that stick out in my mind this morning.

Anyway…weird.

So apparently, when I get sick now, it packs more of a punch. Lovely. The Good Doctor tells me this in a “I thought I had mentioned that” kind of way. No matter.

Anyway, it’s good to have the new windows and door in. HOPEFULLY this is going to cut heating costs this winter. Jo is still really keen on a wood-burning stove, and I can’t say that I’d disagree at this point. I worry about the baby around something like that, but like his Uncle Rich says, “He’d only touch it once.”

I’ve been playing over on my old LJ a bit this past week…and remember why I left it. I may continue to update it, I dunno. I used to have a small script so I could email the posts in and it would go to both. I want to say LJ broke that for me once they started asking for money.

See, use this space free of charge and have a LOT of control over the environment. With LJ, they want to cripple a lot of things and ask for money so you can have “full function”.

It bothers me as I was an “early adopter” of LJ, and they seem to reward a lot of those folks…save me.

Ah well…

This weekend I “enjoy” another birthday. My family is taking me to the Dells for the weekend and I could not be happier. What do I want for my birthday? To sleep in! A few hours…hey, room service would be cool too, but I’m not gonna be pushy about it.

I’d also like to get in a round of golf, but I think I’d rather play with the boys.

My brother is even coming out with us. Can you imagine that? Should be a good time. I should bring the Munchkin cards just in case.

Is anyone reading this?
