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.

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

This Was Supposed To Be Titled "Brooms and Baseball" But, Now, Forget It...

Saturday, my aunt and roommate went with me to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix . Overall, I loved it but I'd be lying if I didn't have quibbles but there was much I enjoyed about it. In the book, I found the character of Luna annoying as all get out but she totally rocked in this movie. "I'm hungry. I hope they have pudding." Delores Umbridge was also great. I did, however, miss the heavy Scottish accent Cho had in the last movie. (My cousin pointed out that she still had one but from a different region. I say it isn't the same.) I actually approved of them cutting the Quidditch stuff out of this movie but the OWL scenes, including the studying, being cut was disapointing. They had the scene with Fred and George but they didn't make clear they actually left school so what really was the point? Speaking of confusion, how exactly could the students ride creatures only Harry and Luna could see? I'm pretty sure it was explained in the book b
