Thoughts for a Friday Afternoon

Query: Is it bad to attempt a relationship with a woman when you already know her friend is infinitely more attractive? No, I'm not discussing the two POIs but another woman who contacted me this morning.

I am very tempted to apply for a job in Scotland. The idea to move very far away both scares me and intrigues me at the same time. So too a job in Anchorage, Alaska. My parents have encouraged me to do it and they are my voice of reason but I'm still not sure. What say you?

And can I just add that while acceptance speeches are boring and many of the performances at the Grammys were quite good, I can't say having only like three awards an hour really pleased me.

Go go take either job! Speaking as someone who doesn't know you, I'd advise to to take either one. How can you choose? Well, if you're nervous about too much change, take Alaska bc it's still in the US and you can continue to be an American and maybe the plane tickets are cheeper? If you want girls, go to Scotland bc I bet they'd like our accent and if they don't learn theirs and then come back here and you'll more babes than toyland.

Finally, don't go out with someone if you are at all are attracted to her friend. That's not cool and it's the plot of many a lightweight young adult book/movie/advice on back of squeezable yogurt.

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

Reversion To The Old Ways

Since there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which of my posts get comments and which don't, I'm going post whatever I feel like. Sure, I love comments but I must face facts that I'm not going to get them. No, I'm not going to review every episode of every TV show I'm going to watch this new season again simply because it doesn't appeal to me any more. To be sure, I will write about some of the new series since that does still interest me but not every episode... I am going to go back to complaining about my love life occassionally though because, if I can't discuss it here, where can I? Remember that workstudy student I mentioned being interested in? Yeah, well she's married apparently and I think even has at least one child so even if she didn't commute from such a long distance, nothing is going to happen with that. (Boo!) This is the first time I've discovered information of this nature before I made a complete ass of my self so this is go

This Was Supposed To Be Titled "Brooms and Baseball" But, Now, Forget It...

Saturday, my aunt and roommate went with me to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix . Overall, I loved it but I'd be lying if I didn't have quibbles but there was much I enjoyed about it. In the book, I found the character of Luna annoying as all get out but she totally rocked in this movie. "I'm hungry. I hope they have pudding." Delores Umbridge was also great. I did, however, miss the heavy Scottish accent Cho had in the last movie. (My cousin pointed out that she still had one but from a different region. I say it isn't the same.) I actually approved of them cutting the Quidditch stuff out of this movie but the OWL scenes, including the studying, being cut was disapointing. They had the scene with Fred and George but they didn't make clear they actually left school so what really was the point? Speaking of confusion, how exactly could the students ride creatures only Harry and Luna could see? I'm pretty sure it was explained in the book b
