Super Bowl Thoughts

The game itself last night was much more interesting than I would have thought. Of course it doesn't hurt that the team I was rooting for won...My parents didn't fall asleep but wanted to turn it over at 9 to Bleak House so I went upstairs to my room to see the rest of the game. As far as snacks we had most of a sleeve of Thin Mints and decaf coffee. Aren't we cool?

I say this every year but the commercials are getting worse. I say this because who could have guessed a commercial with Kermit the Frog could have sucked? I did like the Career Builder commercials but they were last year's campaign. (Guys, if you need new writers give me a call.) The Budweiser commercial with the baby clydesdale almost brought a tear to me eye but the best commercials was the one with Leonard Nimoy (duh!) and the MacGuyver Mastercard ad.

To update you from yesterday concerning the job situation, I inquired about the temp inventory job and right now it won't work as it is all over the state instead of just the Hartford area so getting transportation would be a problem but the guy on the phone said they were looking into a van service in the future so they took my name and number. Once again, I'm in a holding pattern.

On other fronts, I sent some e-mails to places I had applied to previously, some of which were pretty old, and received one reply back already. I will not be moving to Northern Vermont...

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...
