You Thought I'd Stopped Blogging, Didn't You?

Maybe you wish I had... 

Busy week. Probably mentioned a choral group that has rehearsed at my church before to some but may not have blogged about it.  Anyway, this year in addition to 6 Sunday afternoons in a row, this year, they used the church for a week as well. Longer days.  Much extra money for me. Yay!  I know I blogged about the prima donna pianist that accompanied the string quartet years ago. Well, this group had a harpist. (Or a "harpie" as I came to refer to her. )  Anyway, long story short, she got me in trouble with the sexton and managed to piss off the director himself with her antics.  Did I mention the extra money was good?

Speaking of money, I officially sold another copy of my first novella, Winter Storm. You can't buy a candy bar (at the "high school price" for that matter) with the amount of money I made but how many books have you published? 

So the health drama continues.  Clearly, mid-next month is longer than three days.  Their billing department apparently figured out where to send my bill.  I joked with my boss the other day that  I should ask for them to send the frigging paperwork... Anyway, I called twice so I'm now trying email which seems like going backwards but maybe I'm old fashioned.  We'll see...

The Seminary had their second annual Follies (or variety show) on Friday. I was unable to attend last year, I think, because that was the during the time my cousin's fiancee and entourage were visiting from Alaska and I went off to my parents to hide.  Anyway, I couldn't decide what I wanted to do but all three ideas I was mulling over would probably have worked in hindsight. Oh well. I did make a casserole, from memory I might add, for the potluck beforehand. And yes, I made it myself...

As any good variety show, the acts ranged from the serious to the criminally stupid. The performance of this particular song was a highlight:
So my current roommate gave her kidney to her father this week which now makes the apartment a rehab facility. Not a good time for the cable company to discover we had stopped paying the bill for bare-bones cable probably over a year ago and that they never cut us off. For the most part, all my shows are on Hulu except the CBS stuff. It seems the new episodes go up on their website by the next day. I remember when you had to wait a whole week. Is this a commentary on society?

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...

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...

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.
