Eeks!

So yeah....had a date with mamabear176 last night. It was groovy fun. We came up with a not new theory that boys are dumb. (no offense to the boys out there) Perhaps boys are not necessarily dumb, just the ones I tend to spend time with. :)

Then I headed over to Espresso Royale to get some hot tea as I had time to kill after calling aerospcgrl to ask her a question I still haven't asked. Ended up meeting up with her and a friend to see Pride and Prejudice.

Seeing period films makes me want to talk all proper and what not. However I'm sure my lack of editing will make that not possible.

My review is that although I was vaguely familiar with the story having never read the book, I found it to be quite amusing. I always love a nice female character with a sharp tongue and a strong personality. Hence the reason I love Beatrice so much from Much Ado. However, given the week I've been having, it was probably not the best choice of film for myself. The reason I found it amusing had little to do with the presentation as the interactions between Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth. The looks, the awkward conversations, etc all very amusing and seem somewhat close to real life for me at times. Then of course there is the most important moment when Mr. Darcy comes from the fog with his long coat swaying behind him and his hair tousled just so to approach Elizabeth and profess his undying love. And I must be feeling quite jaded at the moment because the only thing that entered my mind was "this is the biggest crock of bullshit I've ever heard! (well I suppose I've heard things to rival this, but not the point)" I would explain why, but I'm not in mood.

However I did have a nice walk back to my car in the freezing cold. It's amazing how fast I can actually walk when I feel like a popcicle. And then I had all sorts of unpleasant thoughts riddle my mind that seemed way more important at the time, but now I just want to go to sleep so I shall. Thank you and good night!

But overall, I'm feeling better. Just to let you know. A minor set back is all.

Da Weather...

I find it interesting that my job was freaking out about weather conditions getting bad for the drive into work in the morning. There is a hotline in place, now programmed into my cell, that you can call to find out if work has been delayed or cancelled. It happened once when I first started there last winter. HOWEVER, there isn't something in place for us night people working till 10 p.m. today. I mean seriously was it THAT important that I answer the 3 calls I got between 8-10 p.m.? I think not.

Good news is that it only took me a little over 45 minutes to get home. And that I have good tires now so that made it even easier. And a new battery so it started.

Bad news: my radiator was leaking this morning. My dad did something to it, but said that if it gets worse I will need a mechanic. He keeps using the M word. I don't like. But in the nature of being proactive, I should start asking for advice on places to take my car that don't involve rape sexually or of the pocketbook variety. Any suggestions?

With that, I will go to bed only to roll over in a silly few hours to attempt to make it to work on time. heeheehee!!!

And in other news, if my room is still as cold as the basement, I may have to pull out the space heater that D loaned to me last winter. My wish is to have a bedroom that is comfortable in the seasons. I do not think I ask a lot.

Imagination Time....

If you read this, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you!
