gateslacker | The Summer of my Discontent

It seems that I am getting that oh so familiar inkling to go back to school. I have tried to squash the idea but it keeps rearing it's ugly head most likely due to my snoozer of a job. I am really more the hands on type but can I really see myself running up and down the hallways for twelve hour shifts when I am 60??? Gah! Advancing your education wouldn't be so bad if it didn't cost a fortune! I am debt free in regards to student loans and I would prefer to keep it that way. Initially, the program would be online but, from the looks of it, that costs even more. I guess they figure that people who choose online courses are people who are working (have to work!) and they can pay the extra cost. I have in interest in the FNP program but the Nursing Education one might be an option as well. I also have to wonder whether I have the self discipline to adhere to an online course. Why does everything have to be so hard???

In a completely unrelated note (sortof) my son had me ROFL the other day. We were walking and a neighborhood dog was tagging along. Well, said dog is a he and every 2 seconds the dog was "marking his territory." My son says, "that dog has a bladder control problem." Totally had me in stitches....You can sure tell he is the son of a nurse!

As for the reading progress, it seems that I have stalled. After finishing the first two books of the His Dark Materials series, the story has begun to be a wee bit of a downer. Perhaps it is because I think I know where it is going even though I am probably way off base. I am also having a bit of "vidder's block" as I have had no new ideas in what seems forever. Bummer. My progress through Highlander and Babylon 5 has stalled as well. Disinterest and discontent seems to be the mood flavors of the moment.

*ahem, cough* Dead Zone *cough*

LOL...well, I love the song that starts Dead Zone called New Year's Prayer by Jeff Buckley. However, that intro is better than any vid idea I could come up with. But, now that you mention it, I might get inspired! Hummmmmm.

That is a great song and it's a very cool opening sequence. I'm not sure what you might do or what song you might use. I love the whole cast and I especially love the character of Johnny. He fascinates me. I've had a few ideas but nothing concrete. I would love to see what you come up with :)

I don't know if it is exactly vidder's block because I have Ideas. I just don't feel that rush to make a vid that usually comes upon me. For my last four vids, I just really felt compelled to make them. Maybe it is the weather. ; ) Maybe once Stargate returns with S9 we will feel inspired again. : )

As for Babylon 5, I just LOVED that show. It is absolutely friggin amazing. How far did you get into it? Season 2, 3 & 4 are the best out of the five seasons. Love the Minbari, Centauri and The Vorlons. I just love G'Kar and Londo. It has been so long since I have seen it. I really wish it was on TV again.

Are you kidding me. The coworker who loaned me the first season and two movies on DVD told me to start with the original movie and I watched about 20 minutes of it before deciding that I didn't really want to watch it (at that time). He raves about the show, though, so I fully intend to give it a try.

Sorry you've been a wee bit in the dumps. Just for curoisity's sake, what's FNP?
