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.

Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work... So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll! Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with...

And Now, A Lame Quiz!

Your Score : Dionysus 33% Extroversion, 46% Intuition, 55% Emotiveness, 76% Perceptiveness Although deeply emotional, you are extremely lacking in self-knowledge. You are somewhat needy, and when bored, may become very hedonistic. Your life is a quest for meaning, above all else. You are most like Dionysus. You are primarily interested in serving others, but your efforts are almost always unappreciated. You aren't confrontational, you're often out of tune with your own needs and unaware of the consequences of your own actions. You are, at heart, a good person. You are very affectionate, and you are very loyal to your friends and family. You are very reluctant to burden others with your own problems, to the point that this in itself can become a problem for the people who care about you. This is a particular of a more general problem. Dionysus sends wave of ruin throughout his personal life. He is the photographer who seduces his subjects. He is the teacher who seduces a student...

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...
