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...

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

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...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
