Floating on a river of denial

This is my husband. He is shooting zombies. We bought House of the Dead Overkill for the Wii and two zapper-gun-things over the weekend. This means that if we want to bond, we have to shoot stuff together. Fun, right? You are so jealous right now. I can tell.
We went to one of those stores with the things that are on sale. While we were in line for different items, I dropped this heart. Now I have a broken heart. It is sitting on my nightstand. If you shake it, it makes this sad little sound. I thought that was a pretty fair impression of a broken heart, so I don't mind that I forked over a couple bucks for it. Whee. Pretty.

So, I am realizing that the service/retail industry is slowly killing me. Whatever personality that I have left is being verbally beaten out of me by customers that I can't please. I stopped feeling like a whole person about a week ago. I just hope that zombie killin' and Animal Crossing can heal my deflated self-esteem. I feel like an emo high school kid. All I am missing is bad eyeliner and cut marks on my arm.

We went to see Adventureland last night. I inserted the link to the review on TelevisionWithoutpity.com because I thought it was the review closest to my viewing of the film. I enjoyed the film's darker elements and, perhaps, found more humor in the awkwardness than intended. I wouldn't "highly recommend" the film, primarily because I feel like the movie didn't have a vast appeal. Read the review and see if you think the movie would be more to your liking.

My brother's girlfriend will be having a girl, BTW. She is due mid August with my new little niece. I just hope that I will be able to see her, some. I feel that I miss out on my nephews because of the distance and I will feel just as removed from her. I want to fix it, but there is very little that can be done. I am encouraging my brother to move down here, but I recognize that the motivation is a bit selfish. They have just as much, if not more, family where they are now. I just play the "I will be more involved" card as often as possible.

I am off tomorrow. I am planning on doing some house cleaning and hanging with my peeps. Val and Jenn. The three of us are supposed to be meeting up for a while. I can only hope that our hang-time holds up to the hype. Yar.
