My Watch RIP 1997-2003

Let me tell you about my day yesterday. My watch died the night before so I really had no idea what time it was. I'm still staring at my wrist trying to get the time. Anyway, I got ready for class as normal. I had time to kill so I decided to check my e-mail. The sun was blinding me so I put my sunglasses on.

When I arrived at Palace Road, I discovered that I had left my regular glasses and the case on my desk back in my room! I informed the teacher of my situation and tried to assure everyone that I didn't have a hang over. I'm not sure how successfull I was.

After class, I went to lunch and a classmate bumped into me and informed me that papers had fallen out of my bag. Thankfully, when I went back, they were still there. most of it was crap but the research study I'm critiguing for the class was also among these papers.

My day improved but was no less interesting. I needed a few more washcloths so I went to Bed, Bath, Beyond. (I'm still amzed how convient most things are here and West Hartford ain't the country.) I found them in three catagories : cheap, meduim and way too expensive. I went with three cheap ones. When I went to the checkout counter, the cashier say's "You know these are $2.99, right?" I'm like "Yes." but am thinking Like I'm going to go with the $8.99 ones? My father later pointed out to me the cashier was urging me to buy more than three. Sorry, ladies. I don't wash 24/7...

Last night, I watched Enterprise as usual. The episode was really good. I think they are really trying to give Hoshi stuff to do this season. Travis is just a lost cause, however. Kill him off or make him engineer as they did with Geordi. Oh that position is taken...

I also watched the Sheryl Crow/Willie Nelson Crossroads. I didn't see all of it but I was disappointed they didn't do Willy's "All The Girls I've Loved Before" or Sheryl's "There Goes the Neigborhood." I think that would have rocked. They did definitely have the best version of "City of New Orleans" I have ever heard.

I hope you've noticed the links to my writings. Please read and review.

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c...

Rant and Update

First off, I must ask: Where the bloody hell is my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows ? I ordered the thing five days ago! I'm going to start reading spoilers soon! I really want to read this book! Anyway, so I'm still volunteering at the library. We're in the middle of an inventory now. I've also looked in the catalog, one, to see if we had certain new books already and, two, if we did, to see which branch. This week, I've been assigning call numbers to new books. I haven't done that at all since school and that was Library of Congress (LC) classification anyway while here they use Dewey and Cutter numbers. Tomorrow, I won't be going in as the librarian is out today and tomorrow and I did all the work she left for me already.

The Big E and Other Commentary

Last night, we went to the Big E up in West Springfield. It was apparently Connecticut Day so the parade was all CT all the time. It was the longest parade I have ever watched. It went on like forever. We got a baked potato at the Maine Building and a Spiced Apple Cider Donut at the Vermont building as well as sharp cheese called "The Preacher." I wanted to get "The Green Mountain Boys" which was supposedly XX-sharp but my father wouldn't go for it. We then went to the Sam Adams Beer Garden where I ordered an Octoberfest. Mine was 20 ounces so it looked huge compared to the little cups of chardonnay my parents ordered. We then went over to get the special Big E cream puff. Has anyone heard Clay Aiken's new song? He's covering Badfinger's "Without You" of all things and, I really hate say this, it's pretty good... We're having another Movie Night a week from tomorrow. We've decided today that we're going to watch Akeela...
