day 225

they FINALLY got it right!!!

STILL pissed about the Cablevision/ABC fiasco (though, to their credit, Cablevision TRIED doing the right thing by offering free on demand movies), but The Academy actually gave the statuettes to those that deserved it: Up. Hurt Locker, Supporting Actor (cold hearted bastard who got his in the end), Supporting Actress (Psycho Bitch-no not the person I married), Best Actress and Best Actor. Really deserving. Avatar got something, but it really wasn't an acting film, it was a techno flick, thus it won for cinematography-as well it should have-a technical breakthrough for filmaking-but nothing special re: acting. And you gotta love Bullock's speech. *** special note: Maggie Gyllenhaal deserves an Oscar for being SOOOOO smokin'. Jeez what a babe!

Still reliving yesterday's race. Fun. PLUS, that makes 6 qualifiers. Like I don't do enough nyrr runs anyway. Still, nice to have the illusion of freedom. Side note; forgot to mention Charlie Rangel was there. amazing what a disgraced politician will do for face time. Never forgave him for trying to ignore us when MATC was slated for closure in '96. His response when we contacted him was it wasn't his problem, he dealt with national issues. We responded web were in his district, and he didn't seem to have a problem receiving our votes. Fat fuck.

Today: was gonna do spinning, but 1)new episode of House, and 2)The temps are amazing!!!!! Should be near 60 this pm. NIIIICE! Gotta hit The Line. Hopefully the area near the softball fields won't be too swampy (ice saturday-it's a low area). amazing temps. One more week, golf!!!!!

*****Last full day here. Ambivalence. 2 years ago i said the same thing, hopefully I won't have top again. Great staff, shit administrators. You'd think the agency would learn. Love the staff-very good people. @ this point they've got the "seen 'em come, seen 'em go" attitude. Don't blame them one bit. Bottom line: do patients' needs get served: yes. Could they be BETTER served, again, yes. Cut off the head, the body can't survive.

......let's hear it for New York, New York, New York...bright lights will inspire you.....


***This just in: (one from the "you fucking waste of life who does NOTHING domestically or as a parent" file) get ANOTHER call from Stoney's school, indicating his absence for periods 1-4. Repeated calls to his cell and It's cell, no pickup. FINALLY he returns the call, I tell him to have the person who birthed him call the school. Now, understand, we'd been through this too many times-It NEVER calls the school to indicate his whereabouts, instead, I get called, when I lack awareness of his circumstances, nor am the party responsible for ok'ing his absence. God how I wish It were hospitalized and out of the picture. He can't understand why I can't "just call the school," since I got the call saying he was m.i.a. I explained I'm not there, I'm not a witness to his alleged illness and won't enable him. WHATTHEFUCK is wrong with that woman????? Can't make a friggin' call??? Oh yeah, forgot, doesn't do shit except go to AA meetings. Thanks for reminding me.
