As the weekdays have turned into the monotony of work, sleep, and trying to keep in that program, the weekends are a nice getaway from that norm. Although, this week has not exactly been normal. The wonderful tropical weather has made things rather interesting in the way of the typical 35 mile commute. 'nuff said about that. Friday night starts the weekend off with a good Italian dinner in Boca, followed by a DVD. Saturday was the day I was waiting for though. We all piled up in Sean's SUV and headed down to South Miami to watch the new Matrix movie in IMAX. It was incredible! Not necessarily the fact that it was on an 8-story high screen, but the audio is what really did it. The immense surrounding of multiple channels through high-power and high-quality speakers was just wonderful. As far as the movie goes, it was alright - I just don't want to start a Matrix Holy War here... So, afterwards, we headed back up North of the border, and called it a night, although Sean and I hit the local Denny's. Sunday is going to be a busy catch-up day. I need to do laundry, and it is time to work on the truck. I finally got my part in to replace the gas filler neck, so I can get rid of that gas smell, and no more leaks during refueling. I will also tighten down whatever it is down there that has started to rattle lately. I'm also due for an oil change, so I hope to get all that out of the way today. If time permits, I would also like to have the time to work on my new multimedia box - and start getting the graphics frontend working on it, and the PVR software. So, we'll see where the day goes. I have GOT to get myself to sleep at a descent hour though, I cannot get into the lack of sleep thing again, it knocked the hell out of me all this week!

   Saturday was a pretty bla day, weatherwise. It rained all day, and I did not get anything accomplished whatsoever all day. But, when I was getting ready to go out, and just leaving the house, I got to see a nice, beautiful rainbow. In fact, the second time I saw it, it was a double rainbow! Now, rainbows have a special little place in my heart. They always seem to come at just the right times when I need them. This one, I really did not per say need it just now, but it is never unwelcome. Uplifting, nonetheless. Somehow, I still remain in my general happiness of things, despite the situation I am in. Had I not been so, I know I would normally be just plain miserable right around now. But, I am not, and I cannot explain it. Perhaps I have changed. Or not so much changed, as much as dropped the change that was not me. I think this is the real me, I have not felt so "myself" in so long. Before, I was just jaded or something... But enough of that, I would rather not go back to that anyway... Tonight was supposed to be a nice lunar eclipse. I did manage to catch a short glimpse of it through the cloudcover. It was enough that I could see it in a few stages and get a good feel for it. It was good. When I got home finally, the moon was bright in the sky. In fact, it was coming in the windows in the stairway of my house, and casting its light in patches on the stairs. I though it was a beautiful sight, and it again made me smile.
