Stuff

Comment 1: Earlier this evening, I was reading more about this fall TV season as I am wont to do lately. Ed O'Neill and Jennifer Love Hewitt apparently will have a sitcom on ABC. Before Alias, I used to say the letters stood for A Bunch of Crap. I think that pretty much sums that up.

Comment 2: Once again, Simmons has seriously curtailed my sports watching but this time doubly so. The Red Sox are being shown on ESPN2 which I have except in Boston where it's being shown on NESN which I do not have. I don't fault NESN for picking up the game. Why does whoever decides the channel line-up here at Simmons think that women don't watch sports? So anyway, I'm forced to listen to it on the radio.

To top that off, The UCONN women are playing right now, whether Lady Vader likes it or not, and it's being shown on ESPN which we do have but has never come in well. The fact that it has never been fixed may answer the question above yet I will point out I've talked with more women recently who like baseball but not other sports so go figure...

Comment 3: The Donald was surprisingly funny, or again, the writers were on Saturday Night Live last night. I loved the "Trump's House of Wings" sketch and the September 11th hearings sketch with the White House being blamed for leaving Pedro, who's currently sucking it up on the mound btw, in past the 6th inning in Game 7. Unfortunately, the dormmates I usually watch the show with were gone this weekend so I had to watch it alone in my room...

Comment 4: My weekend was not as productive as I might have liked but it wasn't as non-productive as it could have been. I finished homework for Monday and got a good jump on homework due a week from Thursday. I did not, however, start my Humanities paper due at the end of the month as I had planned.

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

Reversion To The Old Ways

Since there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which of my posts get comments and which don't, I'm going post whatever I feel like. Sure, I love comments but I must face facts that I'm not going to get them. No, I'm not going to review every episode of every TV show I'm going to watch this new season again simply because it doesn't appeal to me any more. To be sure, I will write about some of the new series since that does still interest me but not every episode... I am going to go back to complaining about my love life occassionally though because, if I can't discuss it here, where can I? Remember that workstudy student I mentioned being interested in? Yeah, well she's married apparently and I think even has at least one child so even if she didn't commute from such a long distance, nothing is going to happen with that. (Boo!) This is the first time I've discovered information of this nature before I made a complete ass of my self so this is go

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
