Musical morning...

The interesting things people do.... I think it would be interesting and I'd like to hear it. I've always enjoyed Johnny Cash. Hmmmmmm..... Note to self add to list of "People you should have fricking downloaded by now, you moron".

Johnny Cash to Cover Hurt 18:46

That is right... the original man in black will be covering the classic Nine Inch Nails song, Hurt on his next CD. Cash recently released a CD full of cover songs, including a cover of U2's One and Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down. Here is what Cash had to said about Nine Inch Nails, and Hurt in-particular:
"When I heard that song, I thought, 'That sounds like something I could have written in the 60's. There's more heart, soul and pain in that song than any I've heard in a long time. I love it."

So, I have James brown in my head. They talked about James Brown related stuff on the radio this morning, so now I've got James Brown in my head and an intense desire to watch both Blues Brothers movies. "Gah-ta, gah-ta, gah-ta, gah-ta...." Bum-bum-bum-ba-dum.

Hmmmm. Got to work early this morning. That was nice. This week is pretty open. I was invited to a party on Saturday. One of my supervisors in Fernely is having a birthday party. We got along really well - he was really funny. It'll be in a huge fricking flat. I think I want to go. Anyone want to come with me? I can bring friends. There is an invite list of over 100 people and they can all bring people, so if you want to meet new people with me...

Anyway... Should get to work now. Go me!

Update on the weekend later.

More on the weekend....

So Friday was Queen of the Damned. Go for laughs. Seriously. Go to laugh, if you can laugh at bad movies and not just get angry, that is. I enjoyed the music. Probably pick up the soundtrack if it has that stuff on it.

Saturday was Gavin's once a month Bellingham superhero game. I brought Cody's X-mas present up there for him. Yeah! You know, its really bad when your character spends almost the entire session wondering, "Why am I here? I don't need the money." Ah well. We'll see what happens. Depending on how things go next time, it could get really interesting, really quickly. We're off to rescue our boss. I've noticed that we all call her out "boss" and not our "leader". Also interesting.

I got to see Luke! So good to see Luke. I've missed him very much and I hadn't realized how much until I saw him. That's generally how I am with most people. You're not active in my life and so I tend to shut it down. I open it back up again and then I realize what's been missing. There are some people that doesn't work for and missing them is a slow, dull ache that sometimes spreads to every extremity.

Sunday was most dungeon crawling in D&D. I've rarely played a D&D game so intense in the dungeon crawling. It's an interesting experience, but I do kind of miss the RP. So much gets caught up in the mapping part of it and then the combat part of it that the RP part kind of gets a little lost. We're slowly all dying as it is anyway. We're in a place where it is nearly impossible to catch any rest and our clerics have limited spells and we end up fighting things generally no matter what we do.

Hmmmmm... I have a few thoughts on some other things for the future as well.

I am comfortable in my level of games at the moment. It's nice. I just wish I had more time for everything. So many things I want to do and people I want to see and places I want to go and.... Damn it. If I didn't need a job....

Yeah. Anyway.

I signed up for CPR and First Aid classes through the company next Monday.

I also signed up to be a Saftey Czar for my floor. I hope I get it. I'd like to be a Saftey Czar.

One of my co-workers, Ben: "You just want to be a Czar."
Me: "Well, yeah. Duh. Well, technically I'd be a Czarina."
Another Co-worker, Joanna: "Can we call you Catherine?"
Me: "Sure, just no beastiality jokes."
Both of them nodding, "Cool. Saftey Czarina Catherine."

So, that could be good fun.

I realized something when chatting with an friend yesterday.

I don't like sleeping alone.

Now, there is part of this statement is obvious. I'd much rather have someone I love sleeping in bed next to me than to be curled up with my body pillow. That one doesn't take too much to figure out.

There is more to it, though. I don't like sleeping when there is no one else in the same place, when there is no one else around. I never realized how much comfort I took in there merely being someone else present. I'd probably never wake someone up because of anything, but it is very soothing for me to know that there is someone there.... just in case.

It's been very subtle and it doesn't keep me from sleeping, but I've noticed a faint unease or discomfort when I go to sleep every so often in my apartment. I just don't want to go to sleep. It's nothing paralyzing, but its something I didn't actively realize until yesterday.
