Triple blech

I’m just off my game this weekend I guess.

K and her father left for his new place Saturday, and Critter said her good-bye’s that night. She’s bummed about it, I could already tell but she went ahead and admitted it to me anyway. Right now she is looking at two weeks here and two weeks away with a constant rotation. And of course he doesn’t have a car, so after this trip she’ll be going to get her and taking her up there each time. I suggested a three/two split, and I think she might be considering it.

I don’t thing OtherGuy is being as supportive through all this as she would like, but that’s really no surprise to me since he has nothing to do with his own kids. I want to grab him by the neck, throw him up against a wall and slowly strangle him while I explain in great detail what a precious thing it is he’s been offered by Critter: another chance. There’s not a lot I wouldn’t do to get one myself, and she knows it, but I’m not obsessing about it. It just pisses me off that OtherGuy and K’s father just don’t know what it is that she’s given both of them and they act like they think they deserve her and don’t have to put any effort into the relationship. Idiots.

Didn’t go down to Ember’s party last night, and now I kind of feel badly about that. I’ve got to get her gift bought and sent off. I think she’ll like it, but I could be wrong. That’s what gift receipts are for though, right?

Critter said she would probably be texting me later tonight, just to talk, so she isn’t bummed about K being gone. She said she wanted to Friday night, but she thought I was at the party. I told her it didn’t matter, she could contact me any time, and if I’m in a situation that I just cannot take calls then my phone will be off and I’ll get back with her as soon as I turn it back on. That is something I like about AT&T, they save undelivered SMS messages for a while (at least a few hours) to see if the recipient’s phone will pop back up on the network so you can still get texts when your phone is off. Yay! Of course, I doubt I would have heard the phone at the party, but I’d have seen the message when I went to check the time or something.

Bought Star Trek on BD today. It looks a lot better on a newer TV than it did on my old one, and it’s got a whole extra BD in there with nothing but special features. That’s a potential for 50 GB of extras, and if you decrease quality from 1080p to 480i or even 720p that gives you even more running time since the files are smaller. I really want to watch Speed Racer again, but I’m going to give it a bit first. I had suggested to Critter that she inhale some herbal joy and we could watch it again since we can see it in all its intended glory. It’s supposed to be quite the experience, what with all the bright primary colors and all. I don’t know if she’s gonna want to do that anytime soon or not. Speed Racer is a good movie, but I don’t think I could take watching it twice in one week.

We tried that once before but it was on the older set. I suggested that rather than becoming "happy" before I came to get her she should do that right before we left to get a better effect.
