Instead of going in at 12 PM, I was told to report at 1:30 PM. Yay!! More sleep! Yay!! More time on the computer!! The best part of all...I finally was able to talk to
crashandburnon AOL Instant Messenger and she was able to put up this wonderful layout with my favorite header that she made me as a Christmas Gift. I owe her so much for doing this...I just don't know what I'll do to repay her :D Thank you once again!
Too busy with things on LJ to see any new TV shows so nothing to report on that front. My Dad finally saw the movie I rented for him called Invincible. He likes football and it was based on a true story of how an everyday guy was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. Too much testosterone for my liking and too much focus on the sport so I only half listened and didn't pay attention really. Though from the comments afterwards, the ending was very satisfying so if you like sports movies, check it out if you get a chance :)
I opened my new CD's for Christmas and the first one I listened to was Awake by Josh Groban. My Mom saw an interview with him when it played on PBS and he said he likes the darker songs but finds it ironic that he's most famous for "You Life Me Up." Another guy who enjoys angst and how two people love each other but can't be together. No wonder why I love his songs! Well, here is one from his new album that fits Martha and Charles so perfectly it's frightening. I also think he would be great with Charlotte Church in a musical version of Romeo and Juliet. Talk about dark and romantic!
They had a moment where they could have fixed everything that happened that day but it came and went, leaving them both painfully alone. Though Martha has hope for the future with Aaron. However, that aside, I like how the song says "There's no black and white" because that was what I liked about their relationship...you think you had it figured out and then something different would happen and you would sit back in amazement that you didn't have it quite pegged after all :)

So today we had a meeting after work and it was really serious on how we need to handle IRA questions and how we need to keep asking for a visa every time we see a member. Oh that last part is going to be hard! There were alot of fun roleplay scenarios we had to participate in to see what our responses would be. I always love those...usually get them wrong but still love them. And finally she read what a member had written about me because I did an exception to the rule for her because she was in a bind and we needed new membership. It was nice to get recognized every once and awhile...gift certificate to come shortly afterward :D

Well, I couldn't end the night without seeing another two hours of Twenty Four: Season Five. However, I fell asleep during the beginning of 5.8 so this little review will be about 5.7. Cummings had just been apprehended and the nerve gas was out in the open with the terrorists. Seeing it again, I liked that they turned the garage into a motorcycle shop though I did feel sorry for the guy left behind who was forced to cut open the canisters. This was his last day on earth...same for Evelyn (Martha's assistant). Such a sad thing to think of. Oh, this episode was great! Martha comes in to see Charles and he asks if she's alright and she replies "Remarkably well for a woman whose husband tried to have her committed without so much as a goodbye" And she delivers it so well and then gets back in his good graces before slapping him so hard that he will think twice about overlooking her again. Another funny part...when Mike enters the room, Martha glances away shyly and says hello in a very soft, sweet voice. RIGHT AFTER slapping Charles...she can turn it on and off *giggles* I really liked them working together on the speech and I think it shows that they WERE a good team...maybe if things had turned out differently (like Charles hadn't been behind everything) they could have worked things out. Another interesting point...Lynn seems to get more hostile with everyone after he gets his tail whipped by his sister's boyfriend...I wonder if that contributes to why he makes terrible judgment calls for the rest of the day because everything seems to go downhill for him from that point on.

Now or Never by Josh Groban
I watch the morning dawn upon your skin
A splinter in the light
It caught and frayed the very heart of us
It's been hiding there inside for all this time
How a sure thing winds up just like this
Clockwork silence only knows
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never
Sleeping anxious still at 3 am
We're trying far too hard
The tattered thought balloons above our heads
Sinking in the weight of all we need to say
Why's and what if's have since long played out
Left us short on happy endings
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never
You know that there's so much more
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On our final night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never
I watch the morning dawn upon your skin
A splinter in the light
It caught and frayed the very heart of us
It's been hiding there inside for all this time
How a sure thing winds up just like this
Clockwork silence only knows
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never

Sinking in the weight of all we need to say
Why's and what if's have since long played out

And it's no one's fault

Charles...I love you very much but I feel I should tell you that you have a piece of spinach right between your two front teeth....
