No sleep for the bleary-eyed

alexmegamiSunday night = worst night of the week.
Anyway, it looks like this week I may get a joyously extravagant four-day weekend. This four-day weekend depends on whether or not Sia and Haitian have anything they need to come in for on Friday - Darrell is away on vacation right now, and Daddy's going away on Thursday - so if Sia or Haitian needs to come into the office, it'll be my job to come in and open up.
Barring that scenario, I will finish work at 5 PM Wednesday evening. Hooray! I like that idea.
Thankfully, my vacation pay makes up for the two days of work I would miss (one national vacation day, one Alex-likes-sleep vacation day), though it would negate the benefits of any sort of "spending money". Still, if I can get one more ride to or from work over the summer, since there's one more holiday day this summer (Lord Simcoe Day, if I remember correctly, in August), I will save $20 from a week's worth of unbought bus tickets. Yay!
Anyway, enough about money: onto the weekend!

Aberrant this weekend was... uh... TERROR! SO MUCH TERROR! (Actually, I was watching "What Not To Wear" with Patrick's mother for the first half hour, so I missed some stuff.)
Anyway, the basic summary is as such: that huge psychic organization that polices mutants (the one we hate because they are snobbish, superior jerks who do things like videotape mutants killing each other)? Yeah. They want to kill Jake for being a murdering psychopath.
...
So now we're trying to fight off Alpha (the biggest ass of them all, save for maybe the mastermind and sanctimonious prick, Omega) and Sigma (Sender, the creepy Filipino girl we used to go to school with), all with... uh... nothing, really. Alpha ignores Psychic Shield and has managed to cripple AMY with his Mental Blast (keep in mind that Amy is one of the more indestructible mutants), which means Thomas is only effective against Sender (and even then, maybe not so much, because she downloaded a whole lot of Thomas' powers during the original attack on her by... Alpha?? that he helped her defend against - they can circumvent each other fairly easily, I think); and Chad, Angel, Arkham and Vicki are puppets. Jake is protected from Sender, but not Alpha.
...now, if we can build a quantum inhibitor and get guns... maybe we'll have something. Maybe.
Oh god, we're all going to die.

Vampire was okay. I have nothing in particular to say, other than people who won't fight girls are dumb, Godson isn't the general, Januarius is Committed (for securing the asylums - I appreciate that it took a few seconds for the realization of the double entendre to sweep through the room), and Lidia is going to break Rhys five ways from Sunday if that's what it takes to get his head open again. The Truth can withstand minor setbacks like gibbering terror, brain bleeding, or poltergeists. Tch, people are weak.

And then there was the sex. All I have to say is, bam.
