Saturday's All Right For Posting

Ok, yes, another bad title from me but it's so hard to think of one when you have a myriad of topics you want to cover so there you go.

First, now that it's season is over, I want to make a comment or two about Boston Legal though not about it's season finale per se. How much do I love it that Parker Posey is now part of the cast? The cast was totally awesome anyway with William Shatner, James Spader, Candace Bergen, Rene Auberjenois and Julie Bowen but Posey as well? ::Drool:: I do worry that the addition will push Bowen out but I hope I'm wrong. The writing of the show is so good, I'm sure I'll get over it if that does indeed happen anyway.

Thursday, I worked at another insurance agency for one day only doing a photocopying project. Going into it I was under the impression that it would be done by noon but I think there was more work than expected as well as more interruptions, which should have been expected, and more staples to be removed. Also I don't think many realize how slow I am considering I'm not living in some group home doing macaroni crafts all day. Yes, I'm projecting... I came home and my (bad) knee was killing me until Friday afternoon.

Last night, was the Church Family Movie Night. The attendance, as I expected, was really small. Most of the little kids did come along with two middle school students and one high school student. No one without young kids came that didn't have some connection to the Deacons or Christian Ed committees. (The parents of a CE member came as well as my mother.) The young kids that came really do not have the personality to sit and watch a movie as the two youngest ran around the room most of the time and the next oldest had more fun making shadow puppets on the screen.

Herbie: Fully Loaded was a pretty boring movie. The soundtrack was good but most of the songs didn't seem to match up with what was going on during the scene except one scene when Herbie was macking on a newer model VW they played Lionel Ritchie's "Hello." That cracked me up. I also laughed really hard when Lindsey was about to make out with this other kid, the laptop's anti-virus screen popped on. The best line of the night came not from the movie but from my mother: "She's awful buxom!"

if no one's genuinely interested in movie night, how about Church Family Board Game night? sans bingo so no one thinks ol' scratch is worming his way into your parish...

Actually, awhile back we actually did have Board Game night and I think it was better attended. I think wanted to try something different. From the CE perspective, we thought Narnia would be a fun thing to do since everybody we talked to saw it at least once and loved it.

I think the parents of the young kids and the young kids themselves had a good time. I can't speak for anyone but me but I've seen my parents anyway enjoy themselves more.

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...

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.

The Big E and Other Commentary

Last night, we went to the Big E up in West Springfield. It was apparently Connecticut Day so the parade was all CT all the time. It was the longest parade I have ever watched. It went on like forever. We got a baked potato at the Maine Building and a Spiced Apple Cider Donut at the Vermont building as well as sharp cheese called "The Preacher." I wanted to get "The Green Mountain Boys" which was supposedly XX-sharp but my father wouldn't go for it. We then went to the Sam Adams Beer Garden where I ordered an Octoberfest. Mine was 20 ounces so it looked huge compared to the little cups of chardonnay my parents ordered. We then went over to get the special Big E cream puff. Has anyone heard Clay Aiken's new song? He's covering Badfinger's "Without You" of all things and, I really hate say this, it's pretty good... We're having another Movie Night a week from tomorrow. We've decided today that we're going to watch Akeela...
