Premonition, I should have predicted it would be bad.

This past weekend I watched a very bad movie starring Sandra Bullock, called Premonition. It was very very confusing, and I'm not a stupid person. I usually can figure out within 5 minutes what will happen in a movie, and I thought that this movie was going to be different. It could have been different. Technically it was different, in that it is so confusing you have to watch the special feature that puts it in order so that you can understand what you saw and why you saw it. I was too frustrated throughout the movie to have that enlightening "Ohhh I get it, I understand why people paid money to make this movie" moment. The more I think about it the more disappointed I become, because I keep thinking of the ways they could have made it better. They barely explain why the whole thing happens. It makes me feel like the kid who keeps asking why and the parent can't answer so they say "just because".
Well this is a bad movie, "just because".

Oh what a year...

So it's been a year since I returned from my roaming adventures. (We flew in October 3rd of last year). Lots has happened since then, lots has changed. I've lost some friends, gained some new ones. I guess the biggest change of all is I'm finally a permanent fixture in the life around me. Spending a year abroad certainly wiped the traveling bug out of me...for now at least. I'm enjoying the life I have now, not dreaming about another one. Not that nothing in my life can change. I'm still sort of living year to year, but at least now I have the option to stay where I am.

I'm starting to write in my blog again because I did really miss it. It has been hard to find the time and once you stop, it's hard to pick it up again. But I decided it has been a year and there is no excuse better then that to start writing again. Instead of using my blog to track my travels now though, I'm going to use it to complain, vent and air my grievances. I'm not going to write any today, but it's not because I don't have any, it's because I'm on my lunch. (And I had a little venting session this morning so I don't feel to bad right now).
