Haystack charm

So, this weekend I pretty much just tried to do this writing project that I've set out to accomplish. I'm working on it almost constantly and it feels great to just barrel into something and not give a shit about anything else. Ryan was in MD so I had plenty of free time alone to get stuff done. Ryan is also starting his fulltime job this week so that pretty much means that basement bar chilling will not occur for at least a week. Such are the trials of the unemployed, I guess. I might go to this job fair thing this week but not if the jobs I find will have take home pay that's less than I'm getting from the state. It's a tricky situation right now.


In bigger news, and I don't know what took me so long to get wind of this on AST, since Keith Olbermann mentioned it on his show in early December, but supposedly once the writer's strike ends there could be an Arrested Development movie in the works. This is very timely because Ryan and I, as I think I've mentioned here, have been having these marathon viewing sessions of the first two seasons. We usually watch about six episodes at a time. We've yet to crack into season 3, and now I don't know when that's going to happen, but if there's a movie, and it actually gets off the ground, it's going to be amazing.

I still want to get back together in the basement to watch The Wall the whole way through. There are so many things we've yet to watch that we keep mentioning to each other and then forgetting about. Mainly because I forget to bring the DVDs to the basement when I go over. Radiohead's Live At The Astoria being chief among these. Speaking of Radiohead i just read today that dates for their North American tour should be posted this week. If I can get tickets for face value, I'll go to at least one show on this tour. With Youtube and the number of webcasts they've been doing I just don't feel this life or death need to go see them anymore. But I still can't wait for the Bonnaroo DVD to come out.
