I Had a Really Good Title For This But It's Gone...

First of all, because of the damn snow, we had a foot and a half fall here in the city, our cheesecake was not delivered on time. Argh!

Second, my new mother was on E! Am I losing my mind? Did I ever have one because I can't get that stupid thing out of my mind...

You are Wintergreen.
You are cool and collected. You are very
comfortable with yourself and what you do.
Even if you have a lot of responsibilities, you
always manage to be in control. You are
sometimes laid-back and you are always the
voice of reason. However, others may see you
as lazy or detached sometimes, unable to act
responsibly.

Which Tic-Tac Flavor Are You?

He-man was very good last night. Of course, if I had to complain about something, it was way too easy to stop the Snakemen and turn Teela, Man-at-Arms and Meckaneck back to normal after being changed into Snake People. I loved how Orko threatened Rattlor into talking by enlarging a mongoose. That was cool. Roboto busting out of his bonds by igniting his rocket hands was cool too. (Yes, I'm a grad student. Shut up.)

Justice League could have been better but was good. Hawkgirl and GL finally acknowledged their feelings for each other and we got to see Shiera without her mask. She basically looks like a cross between Diana and Poison Ivy. The main plot with the Joker taking over the TV airwaves in Las Vegas and having the League have to race against the clock finding hidden bombs while fighting the Royal Flush Gang reminded me too much of the Batman episode "Christmas with the Joker." They really screwed continuity with the Royal Flush Gang. The futuristic version of the group appeared on Batman Beyond and were described there as a group comprised of family members that replace themselves with husbands and wives and children over time. They didn't have super powers, just futuristic weapons. (I did the like Gang's powers here but Ace's secret power was obvious to figure out when they had found the last bomb and thee was still twenty minutes left in the show...) Though, it makes sense that they were recruited and named by the Joker even if they weren't related. Next week is the Christmas episode which should be interesting.

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...
