Here's my latest film hearthrob, Damian Lewis. He's the actor who plays "Soames" on The Forsythe Saga 2.

Not quite sure if he's a femme brit boy or why I find him so maddeningly attractive, other than the fact that he looks so much like "one that got away". I can hear dogs barking, and I always associate barking dogs with "the one that got away" because he used to tell me "he was the dog and I was the cat".

He was referring to the fact that I was a cat person, and he was a dog person. I tried to tell him I liked dogs as well, but as a person I related to cats more. He said as a person he was more of dog, and besides he detested cats.

It's that red hair ... it's like catnip to me ... very, very bad but I must have it.

I think my new boss figured out that I wasn't happy with the new move. He called me today and said he wanted me to come spend a week at the Sacramento office, when he would be in town in March. Like big whoop getting to go to Sacramento for a business trip for a week.

I told him I had classes on Monday and Thursday night, and he didn't even moan and groan like I thought he would. He said fine, and that I should plan on being there from Tuesday thru Thursday but that I could leave early on Thursday to get to my class.

I'm like I hate this. I'll probably be staying at the same hotel he stays at, and he'll want to do the business socializing thing. It's only for two nights which means one of those nights or at least lunch times will be a group eating event.

I think he said he would be there Monday, which means he'll have his own car and I don't have to chauffer him around. That would be the worst!

The guy is a total control freak, and he hates that I work at home where no one can keep an eye on me and report on me when I'm slacking off. Whatever!

I've been checking it out, and the job market for my field isn't as bad as I thought it would be given the sorry state of the economy. In fact, I haven't seen this many ads for jobs in my particular line of work ever. That's got to be a fortuitous sign yes? It might take awhile, but one of these days I'll be moving on.

So I went to the phone store to upgrade my cell phone, and I ended up nging to a cheaper plan with less coverage. I stopped travelling for work, and I started to think I was paying for coverage that I never really used.

I have the cheaper plan, so if I want to upgrade I won't get penalized. I did sign a two year contract, but I never switched phone contracts in four years so I'm not too worried.

Of course, now I'm just worried about getting hit by roaming charges. I used to get those all the time before I switched plans, and roaming charges can really, really add up. I have a national plan, but it only covers major cities.
Damn! I shouldn't have switched plans, but I've been thinking for a long time that I'm paying way too much for expensive coverage that I'm not using.

Oh well. The rumor is my carrier is up for sale, and it looks like it will happen. I'll probably get better coverage once that happens.

So here's the new phone, Nokia 3100. I have a Nokia 6162 before, and that phone lasted me about four years.

So I watched the Grammy's because his purpleness, Prince was going to be on. I'm so bummed that I still haven't seen him in concert. He is so cool, so beautiful and he can play his instrument really well too. Prince or maye it's the artist formerly known as Prince is the Bomb.

Thought the Beatle tribute band of Vince Gill, Dave Matthews, Sting, and that other person was a joke. They were the incarnation of a really, really bad lounge act.

Thought it was funny when the sound got all messed for Alicia Keys and Celine Dio. What was up with that?

Loved The Foo Fighters and Chick Corea playing together. Thought it was the best musical performance of the night, but I also really love that song.

Don't get why Justin Timberlake gets awards at all, but maybe it's because he's a white boy who does soul really well, I guess.

Missed the Outkcast performance because I started switching channels due to sheer boredom and got caught up watching "The Forsythe Saga 2" on PBS. I love the "Soames" character!

He looks like the ex that got away, with all that reddish brown hair. He kind of acted like him too, so I couldn't take my eyes off of him. They have the same reddish brown hair and hazel green/brown eyes. I'm having the ex that got away hauntings, and I hate it but I'm compelled by some unknown force to watch his lookalikes on TV whenever they appear.
