Where to Begin?

My parents came back up this weekend for my grandfather's birthday party but our story starts on Wednesday afternoon when my cousin/roommate, his mother and I were walking downtown for lunch when my cousin's chair basically ejected him. After they spent time in the emergency room, it was determined that his flag stuck in his wheel. His mother also found a chunk of wood stuck in it. He was a bloody mess at the time but had nothing broken and is healing.

Thursday night when I realized the "Glasses" post label would have to be used a second time. Yes, my glasses broke again. I was just sitting there when all of a sudden my lens was in my hand. I took the frames off my face to get a better look at the problem and it turned out that the top part of the "lens hole" that connects to the nose bridge had broken. I think I had those particular frames for a few years so maybe it was time. My aunt, who was there at the time, and I attempted to tape it up. This held maybe two hours when I had to tape it again.

Friday morning, I walked down to the bus stop in the pouring rain to go to the mall. The tape dissolved. Thankfully, my sunglasses are prescription so it wasn't too bad but... Anyway, I get to the mall and try Lenscrafters. One, they didn't have a sauterer so they could fix it. No big deal. What upset me was they wouldn't give me new frames with out a prescription. The lenses are fine. So I just went to the other glasses place. The one that fixed my glasses last time. They didn't have a sauterer either but they were willing to find frames that my lenses would fit in. How hard was that?

In other news, I was able to get my state ID while I was at the mall. Well, actually, I don't physically have it as it's coming in the mail but I will have one soon. This is good as my CT ID will expire later this year. I had two choices of picture. I decided to go with the non-pervert...

Yesterday, we had a birthday party at a local seafood restaurant for my grandfather. They had great fish and chips and the cole slaw rocked. My parents had to home afterwards as they had to work today so I went with my aunt to my grandfather's house for cake.

I came home to watch Time Cop with my cousin and his friend last night. I had never seen it although I had seen the reruns of the TV show on SciFi. Best Jan Claude Van Damme movie I have ever seen although maybe the only one I've actually watched all of...Gloria Reuben, probably best known as the HIV positive doctor on ER, played his partner and had some pretty good martial arts moves herself. I recommend it if you like time travel stories or wonder what Mia Sara's boobs look like...

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
