More Fairly Random Thoughts

I have to say I was excited at first to see that I had an "Anonymous" comment to my last post. I thought it was just going to be a reaction to my political comments. I was a bit disappointed to discover that it was actually spam. I say "a bit" because it does appear that I have a comment. I really don't care most of the time if anybody reads this or not but I like it to look like I have readers. It makes me seem a lot less of a loser.

So I read in the paper today that Jeri Ryan is joining the cast of The OC. I didn't know this previously and, as a Star Trek fan, this pisses me off. I haven't found a good website on my favorite franchise in quite some time. This must be rectified!

Did anyone read the obituary of Bob Denver in the paper this morning? They took a huge section to describe the cast of Gilligan's Island. If he, Dawn Wells and whoever else is still alive died in a freak accident, maybe I could see them going in that direction. Yes, the show needed to be mentioned in some detail but do people reading this really need to know Alan Hale played The Skipper especially when he wasn't quoted in the article? No. They should have spent some time discussing Denver's addiction to drugs. That would have been much more pertinent to the article.

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...

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...

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.
