My Relatively Busy Weekend

No, my aunt will not have her surgery so, despite the suggestion by my cousin that I come up anyway, I'm still here in CT. No, my reasons were not in fact including the one I mentioned earlier but perhaps the overly optimistic chance something employment-wise will happen, I haven't even started my Christmas shopping, there could be something wrong with the brakes of one of the cars and frankly, I'm tired. No, I haven't heard from the two matches I referred to in awhile but another match I had thought was gone for good contacted me today so...I don't know. I'm just saying...

More eventful things did actually occur, however. On Friday, I helped my mother with a "Parents Night Out" child care thing at her church. I was The Bank during a game of Cat-in-the-Hat-opoly and I pressed play on The Polar Express, which was very boring actually, and I also met the returning parents at the door. They didn't need me really and I was told I'd be paid which I wasn't but I don't want to bring that up because that's childish...

Early Saturday morning, several churches got together for a private viewing of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe which was the best film I've seen this year since maybe Batman Begins so it's been a few months. I had read the book a couple decades ago but I really noticed the Christian allegory this time. Wow. Ok yes, Non-Christians will like this film also but won't get the biblical references.

This morning at church, I helped organize the annual Christmas pageant. This year, three of our students wrote the play we'll be performing. Because there are only two boys that regularly come, I was roped into playing the father and the father in spirit form because I'm killed by a drunk driver will buying ham one Christmas. Yes, I leave behind a wife, played by a fifth grader (I like 'em young...), and two children. Honestly, this is the most fun I've had with the Christmas pageant in like twenty years.

This afternoon, we went to a Christmas party put on by parishioners of my mother's church. There was some good food and drink. My date wasn't there although not entirely out of the realm of possibility she might have been. (No, I wasn't seriously expecting her but it might have been nice.) She did, however, come up in conversation. A woman I know was saying that the daughter of a friend of hers was looking into library science and working in a library in a particular town and I, not believing in coincidence, asked, "Are you talking about...?" And she said yes. Kind of odd really.

I really have no comment about this result:








Natural Philosopher
You scored 42 outspokenness, 41 orthodoxy, 25 intuition, and 23 earthiness!
Congratulations! You were ahead of your time! While the rest of the world was still running around believing in astral projection and evil spirits, you keep a cool head on your shoulders. You really weren't very orthodox in your beliefs, but you knew how to keep it to yourself. You certainly weren't a witch, a pagan, or a practitioner of the Old Ways. Hell, you couldn't have cared less about that sort of stuff. And even more important, you weren't a rabble-rouser. In modern-day times you probably would have been a subversive atheist. Since just about everyone believed in God back then, you would have had to settle for being a Natural Philosopher.

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...

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...

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...
