Because You Asked For It

Lady Vader wanted more quizzes so I found one that should appeal to both of my readers.

Crusher Pict.
You are Doctor Beverly Crusher of the U.S.S
Enterprise. You are a great friend and
supporter. You recongize people in need and
help them whenever you can. You are also very
trusting "If there is nothing wrong with
you, maybe there's something wrong with the
universe."


What Star Wars/Star Trek character are you

Shut up all of you.

We had another guest speaker today in Modern Publishing: Melanie Kroupa who has her own imprint at FSG. This means she can have her name on the book and basically authorize it to be published herself. This honor is generally earned but Jackie O and Julie Andrews have/had imprints as well. (Hope for my writing?) Anyway, Melanie basically used the time to give "sales pitches" for books she had been involved with. No as interesting as Susan. The rest of class we started presentations for our books we had just done papers on and that wil be doing more work with. I think I described this assignment before but maybe not.

Guess what I pretty much confirmed today? It seems my undergrad loans apparently weren't put in deferment as I thought. One, I guess, my parents are just going to pay off but, without a job, I can't afford to pay the other one month after month or my money could be better spent elsewhere at the very least. Tomorrow, someone will be bitched out. I really didn't need this aggravation.

Oh, and that girlfriend I mentioned in my first post showed up on IM today. She wanted to make sure things are "weird" between us. The whole thing is weird frankly. I don't know why the whole thing bothers me so much. In her words: "It's not like we had sex..."

I need opinions. Tomorrow is really good TV but there's a gathering of sorts at the Quad City Cafe here at the Residence Campus to watch Game 1 of the ALCS and rumor is there's free food. I'm seriously tempted to go. I'd have to go buy a tape if I did go that route. Or do I ever bother and just catch the shows on reruns? What are your thoughts?

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
