More Fairly Random Musings As It Is My Primary Thought Pattern...

I did not have to go into town to pick up the check. (No, this is good news.) It was deposited directly into my account yesterday. I checked and money was indeed deposited! Woo Hoo! This was pay for the uncontested Tuesday through Thursday only but it's a start. When I asked about that controversial Monday pay, I was told next week. I'm worried she thought I was referring to "Photocopying Thursday" but we'll be depressed about that bridge when we come to it...

Also yesterday, we went to the library where my mother wanted to get out a movie and my father wanted to check out a book. I came along for the hell of it. Neither could find their library card so I used mine. This of course means that all late fees will be charged to my record. How nice of me. I considered checking out the movie The Good Girl for myself as I've only seen a scene here and there but, as Friends with Money is still fairly fresh in my mind, I wasn't sure if I could take another serious Jennifer Aniston movie right now...

The movie we did get was Royal Wedding a light-hearted romp of a movie starring Fred Astaire that's about as far from a serious Jennifer Aniston picture as you can get...

During the movie the three of us shared one of those 100 Calorie Packs of Doritos. Do you know why a whole pack is only 100 calories? One chip is small enough to fit up your nose; or at least I'd imagine as trying something like that is dangerous...

Can you believe that Sox game last night? Holy crap! I thought the Tigers would win as, this year, they're gr-r-reat!

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...
