Many Thoughts

I was going to call this post "Burnt Cupcakes" but that really just seems mean. Yes, Cupcake and I are no more. ::Shrugs:: Truthfully, I had noticed the major problem, that being we were in different places in our lives, almost from the beginning but since it didn't seem to be a problem for her, I let it go. Then I go on vacation for two weeks which gave her time to reflect. This probably a mistake on my part. You shouldn't give a woman time to realize they're with me... :)

Yes, I was on vacation for two weeks. Well, technically the first week was employed to take care of my aunt's four cats but it was on a lake in the middle of nowhere (cellphone deadzone!) so I guess it still counts. We then went back to that cabin on Sebago in Maine. I swam a lot, shopped a lot played mini-golf and saw a lot of family.

As it happens every vacation, I watched many a movie. I finally saw Finding Nemo (Loved it!) and a strange movie with Demi Moore called Passion of Mind. I also re-saw License to Kill and School of Rock.

Most importantly, I saw Batman Begins. It was definitely the best Batman movie I have ever seen but probably the second best comicbook movie after Spider-man. Finally, movie studios are hiring writers who have actually read the damn books! The acting was spectacular and I have to admit I was actually surprised in a few places! Those who know me know how rare that is...

Soon, I will be going to see Fantastic Four. I'm pretty sure it'll be a let down compared to the above movie but hopefully, I'm wrong. I'll let you know.

Sorry to hear your baking experiment didn't go very well. Wasn't "Finding Nemo" the cutest?

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...
