I'm BACK

Uffda. Due to not-so-popular demand, I have taken the initiative to give an update again. Since I last wrote, I've gone snowshoeing, shaken a jingle stick (pictures later,) gotten pushed off a chairlift, skinned my knee, ate poultry poached in fat, decided I hate my job, then reconsidered, and now am skeptical again. It's tough to think you're really moving up in the world when every working group in your company has gone on or is threatining to strike, you can't make small talk with anyone without someone mentioning how they are looking for greener pastures, or how another employee quit and got hired at Guidant Corp.
Ok, no more work. Let's talk about how bad "The O.C." is, but how I cancel plans to watch it EVERY THURSDAY. It could honestly be an episode of Degrassi Jr. High: "Dorky hipster Seth tries pot to ease his mind about the stresses of going away to college, and spoiled beauty Marissa gets jealous over her younger sister 'hanging out' with Johnny, the completely uninteresting surfer who mopes all day about his surfing injury. Next week: More of a cool, older friend than a dad, Sandy makes his first unethical move at work, and MILF Kirsten throws a bad party. Don't miss it!"
Oh, one more quick story. I saw Brokeback Mountain. I knew it was a story about two cowboys in love, but I didn't realize that it was a story about two cowboys in love with each other. Am I really that naive? I didn't think so, but I was completely in the dark on that one. I think I would have liked the movie much better had I known. I was getting pissed at the slow, unnecessary development of the "friendship" between the 2 cowboys. "Where are the chicks they fall in love with?" Once I realized my misinterpretation, I enjoyed the rest of the movie thoroughly.
