Better Than A Diary Or Tape Recorder

First, let us give a cheer of rejoice as I have finally been fully paid for that APRIL mailroom job. I haven't been paid promptly for my photocopying job but this time I didn't wait. I called to check up on it today. No one answered the phone but it's better than leaving it alone for a month.

Last night, two things of note were on the telly. Since my Sox were off, I watched a little of the PawSox game. It's kinda weird knowing so many of the players but it was even stranger for me to me be happy that Enrique Wilson hit a grand slam. There's a lot of talk when Sox go to the Yankee organization but no one really discusses the other way around. (I'm still convinced Ramiero Mendoza was still on the Yankee payroll when he played in Boston) John Flarety retired instead of playing for the Sox but we may not have gotten Doug Mirabelli back if he didn't so I think that was for the best.

The other thing I watched was The Amazing History of Superman. I thought it was quite interesting but a couple things bothered me. One: they could have spent more time on the syndicated Superboy TV series as I remember watching it in my youth. Two: they could have spent more time on his Rogue's Gallery. I know it's small but there was more than just Lex Luthor, Doomsday and gangsters. This is not about the special but about the upcoming movie instead: it was revealed Bryan Singer refuses to read a comic book. Could this be why X-men wasn't as good as it could have been? One thing about the special did amuse me though: in discussing the upcoming movie, Kevin Spacey the narrator refers to himself in third person! Why? I have no idea unless he wasn't the first choice to host the show...

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...
