I'm Back

I know you didn't miss me so I won't ask. I'm back because there are many thoughts I need to get down.
As some of you know, I finished my masters program and am now searching for work. Many of the entry level jobs in my field seem to be in Florida. (I have two aplications out down there.)
We're at the halfway point of the tv season so here are my thoughts. The first two episodes of Alias have been quite good. I like how they have kind of gone back to how it was it the first season with one mission per week. I'm curious to see if Nadia will rescue Syd every week or not.
I admit that I haven't been giving Charmed the attention I used to. First there was the Red Sox. (I am still so happy about that.) I think there will finally be a new episode of that tomorrow. Overall, I really haven't been that impressed this season. I really can't put into words why.
Smallville has been really good this season although perhaps not as good as last. There has been some really good insight into Kryptonian angle. I'm also pretty sure Lana will know the truth this season.

They had better not cancel Enterprise after this season because this is the best season yet. They are finally doing what I had envisioned for the series. Last night, we met the guy who invented the transporter and before that we had a Vulcan arc that beautifully sets up the Earth-Romulan War.
A new show I'm getting into is Lost. Like Alias there are many twists and turns. Too bad it's up against Smallville.
Movies I recommend: Finding Neverland, Panic, Life is Beautiful, The Quiet American, Love Actually and, with the proviso you know anything about the comic, Elektra which I saw just last night.
Movies I don't recommend: The Hours, and The Company.

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...
