Congratulations to depluto on the successful Ultraverse panel at SDCC. The videos are available on Youtube. Did anyone from the "Dead Universes" section here attend the panel?
Yeeeha! Actually I get a bit nervous doing crap like that but those guys were so welcoming that it went pretty well.
Article on Ultraverse panel at SDCC.
His middle name is Jan.
Had a guy on Facebook ask me if the White Event launches the Malibu universe as well as the New Universe. I told him I'd never heard that before. I'm sure that's untrue, unless Marvel tweaked things when they started publishing the Malibu characters for a bit. Anyone ever hear this befor?
I had not heard that before. There are more than one Malibu shared universe, some of which started as several different comic book companies. Some of these companies were related in that they were backed by the same financier, some were not and bought out later (like Aircel, the original publisher of Men in Black, which started out as an insulation company). Putting an origin like the White Event onto that group would be like herding cats but tidy if you could pull it off.
The Jumpstart created The Strangers, Night Man and a number of others.
Around a year or so earlier, a prior Jumpstart created the Squad (including Hardcase), and an earlier one in the 1930's created their Superman-analog (who appeared in the Strangers).
Aside that, many UV supers received their powers from wetware, Mantar was a woman possesed by an other-dimensional spirit, and there were other hooks for Prime, Sludge etc.
That's a neat nugget. FVL was always good to the Iron Man crowd.


Q: C# checking listview checkbox depending upon the items matching the array I m new in C# programming. I m running into a problem. the problem is that. I have listview control in a winform application. Listview has checkboxes. first Column of a listview contains the IDs that comes from database.
I also have an array which I have written like this
string selectCompany = "1,2,3,4";
companies = selectCompany.Split(new String[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.None);
All I want to do is if any value in the first column of listview is in above array, I need to check that row.
foreach (DataRow row in company.Rows)
    string[] rows = { row["type_id"].ToString(), row["type_name"].ToString()};
    var listViewItem = new ListViewItem(rows);
    lstCompanyType.Items.Add(listViewItem);
    if (companies.Length > 0)
        if (companies.Contains(row["type_id"]))
            //i m JUST NOT SURE HOW TO CHECK LISTVIEW ITEMS THAT MATCHES THE ARRAY
    serialno++;
if (companies.Contains(row["type_id"])){
  listViewItem.Checked = true;
A: First, that is not the way you define an array in C#.
string[] array = {"1", "2", "3", etc.}
You need to get all the Items in the ListView then iterate through the listview item.
foreach(ListViewItem lvi in ListView.Items)
    //for your "array" use
    if(lvi.SubItems["key"].ToString() == selectCompany.Contains(lvi.SubItems["key"].ToString()))
        lvi.Checked = true;
This will set the checked item of the listview item
    if(selectCompany.Contains(row["type_id"].ToString()))
        listViewItem.Checked = true;
A: ((CheckBox)row.FindControl("YourCheckBoxIDHere")).Checked = true;
Is the code fragment that is missing in your code.


Associated Press"I'd like to say I'm a really good actor and you're complimenting me. It's not truthful," Joaquin Phoenix said in response to a compliment about his performance in the new movie "Reservation Road."
"If you cited a particular scene that you liked, I don't know if you watched the unedited dailies from that scene you'd have the same reaction. I think there's far too many elements that go into making a performance great for one person to take responsibility for it, and if there is one person it's the director."
"And other times I would literally be still on camera saying this is ridiculous and the director says that's the best take. I have no idea what is going on."
"The idea is not to go, 'I'm angry,' but to go, 'I'm angry for these reasons,' and try to find what that is," said Phoenix. "And that's like a big, long process and it changes every time. There's never just one thing."
The actor, perhaps not surprisingly in this day and age, went online -- "you go and type 'hit and run' and you could just sit there for six hours."
"Ethan (Phoenix's character) was somebody who struck me the same way. He was the one who when the kids got into an argument would sit them down and have a conversation with both of them."
Continued the actor, "What was most interesting -- and I know it's horrible to speak of someone's emotional state as interesting but that's what I do, I study human behavior -- but the emotions that they felt clashed unexpectedly, anger coupled with utter pain coupled with no feeling, all simultaneously."
"And that said, I'm probably not fooling anyone -- of course it's about my kids. I'm sure that it is because I had such a hard time sleeping."
"I stopped reading them. I didn't want to steal someone's very real tragedy to manipulate and use."
"The danger is the movie is just like actors sitting around weeping," said Phoenix. "Literally at 9 a.m. on day two Terry was like, 'I don't want any more f----- crying!'"
"I don't know when I've got it, but I know when I haven't got it," said the director. "The porch scene where they have that big argument -- one take and I knew I got it, and I also knew that I wasn't getting a second take so it didn't matter."
He references "Creep," a song by the band Radiohead, in which Thom Yorke sings about a woman, "Your skin makes me cry."
"I want to imagine that he was in love with this girl and watched her and her skin made him cry. The true story might be that he just thought that would be a really cool line, and you're like, 'No, what are you talking about?
"Terry and I went back to my place and watched this great Irish sitcom, 'Father Ted.' It's hilarious."

This morning I was awoken by a member of my household rushing into my bedroom an hour before wake-up time (6 a.m.) urging: "Get up. You've got to see this. There's something in the house."
Not knowing what to expect, I immediately arose and was led through the hallway into the living room. I thought, I am glad my dream was over. I also thought, I'm glad the days when the little ones in the house weren't routinely waking me up at all hours of the night and early morning anymore, for the most part.
"Look up," I was instructed. There, on the ceiling, was a brown, mouse-shaped creature.
"What is it? Could that be a bat?" my early rouser asked me in shock and awe.
"It's a bat," I answered, not fully able to focus.
"I'll figure something out after I wake up."
I went back to bed and tried to go back to sleep, some astonishingly good ideas coming to me as I worried about the bat. I remembered that before I went to bed last night I brought a hanging plant in from the front porch; as I carried the plant inside, I heard a rustling noise behind me but was not able to figure out what it was and quickly dismissed it as my neighbor closing her door. As I hung the plant on a hook inside, I saw a spider crawling up the plant holder, thinking that protecting the plant from the cold might be bringing some unwelcome guests into the home.
I thought long and hard about who else besides me could get the beast outside, but I came up with no one. After I resolved that only I am the master of our destiny, I got back up about an hour later, armed with a large, clear, plastic cup and a thin, plastic cutting board, having flashes of my childhood when my parents were chasing a bat through the house and it was flying precariously near our heads and lots of people were running and screaming in all directions for what seemed like an exceptionally long bat-riddance session.
Approaching the ceiling and imagining the worst, I said (as cheerfully as possible), "Hello, Stellaluna," and the plastic cup landed peacefully over the bat. Getting its microscopic fingers to loosen themselves from the bumpy ceiling was troubling. I tried to use the cutting board to get the bat off the ceiling and into the cup, and as one of its feet got stuck between the cutting board and the ceiling it started chirping quietly and quickly like an injured bird.
It dropped into the cup before my arms got tired and I let it outside. It took about five minutes to fly out of the cup and away. All day the young people of the house thought about the bat, sad that it had to go outside and sad that we wouldn't be taking on another pet. The cat misses the bat, too. I don't.
Yesterday a friend told me that he thinks blogs are boring. He doesn't want to see your vacation pictures, pictures of your new dog, or close-ups of your new baby. He cares about them, but he would rather not spend his time reading about your boring life and your boring thoughts. (I'm sure he wasn't referring to me, personally.)
I didn't say anything. I realized that he has a good point. But I thought, "Perhaps it is interesting to the writer. Perhaps writing helps to form nebulous, random thoughts into somewhat articulate, somewhat well-formed ideas that are worth sharing, at least with one's own conscience." I've been searching for information about the upcoming election and candidates who are unknown to me. A lot of what I found were on peoples' blogs from this state. And I love reading Mr. Chinchilla's interviews. I have learned about the diet of small woodland creatures, the nuances of engaging people in witty banter, and the fact that he is in love with Jessica Alba and that he is tired of hearing and reading about Tiny Fey (good stuff, Mr. Chinchilla).
There's a lot out there. Perhaps there is a purpose. Perhaps my friend is (not) reading this right now.

Yousiphanes: What'd you do today?
Meecutio (clutching phone in ear): Started the day out with a crushing headache.
Yousiphanes: (laughing) The result of acute consumption the night before ... ?
Meecutio: Only if you count a slushie overloaded with sugar that I drank from the Dairy Q last night.
Yousiphanes: Sugar probably wouldn't be enough to cause a crushing headache. (Tone becomes serious and sincere.) Sorry to hear about that. Did you manage to do anything?
Meecutio: Once I had a healthy dose of caffeine, I swept the kitchen and then got down on my knees and scrubbed the floor the old-fashioned way.
Yousiphanes: Did you get outside?
Meecutio: Yeah, I got outside. The longest time I spent outside was when the balmy, sunshiny day transformed into a sudden, violent downpour.
Yousiphanes: I'm stuck at work, doing menial things that some people might think are fun.
Meecutio: Want to go to the play tonight?
Yousiphanes: Nah, I saw it last night.
Meecutio: All right, then, have a productive and interesting Saturday at work.
Yousiphanes: Enjoy the play.
Meecutio (dialing, talking into the telephone receiver): Hey, Djeneba, it's Meecutio. I was just calling to see if you wanted to go to a play with me tonight.
Djeneba: Nah, I'm having a rough time today. The bees in our beehive all died, and my husband broke his leg. I couldn't possibly come. Have a good time.
Meecutio: Sorry to hear about it. Things will get better.
Djeneba: When it rains, it pours.
Meecutio: It's actually raining right now. But the sun is going to come out and it looks like a rainbow might be possible.
Djeneba: Enjoy the play.
Meecutio: (leaving a message) Hey, everybody. Just calling to say hello and see how things are going. You can call me back if you want.
Meecutio: Hi, is this Andrusko?
Andrusko: Y--e--s! Is-- this--- Mee---cutio?
Meecutio: You sound like you're in a helicopter!
Andrusko: S-o do-- you! (sounds garbled) -- I'll---ca--ll-- y--ou ba--ck i-n a f--ew- min--utes.
Meecutio: Thanks. Same to you.
(Both hang up. Phone rings two hours later.)
Andrusko: This is Andrusko. When I told you I'd call you back, I didn't realize I didn't have your number.
Meecutio: I tried to call you back. I left a message.
Andrusko: Well, sorry. I went into town. Did you have a question?
Meecutio: I called to tell you and everyone that the play Katarina has been wanting to see is showing tonight.
Andrusko: What's it called?
Meecutio: Caucasian Chalk Circle.
Andrusko: Cock ... what?
Andrusko: Caucasian Crop Circle?
Andrusko: Oh, crop circle.
Meecutio: No, chalk, like, "chalkboard."
Andrusko: Oh, chalk circle.
Meecutio: Yeah, Caucasian Chalk Circle.
Andrusko: Oh, never heard of it. Michaeldiegolo's in town. He and Katarina are at a festival and there's a concert tonight. I'll tell her you called.
Meecutio: It looks like rain, though. It just rained here, really hard, but then the sun came right back out.
Andrusko: I think the festival will be over before the rain comes to this area.
Meecutio: All right, well, tell Katarina and Michaeldiegolo I said, "hi," and thanks for calling back.
Andrusko: Will do. Talk to you later.
Meecutio walks into bookstore.
Meecutio, seeing friend: Hey, Sestana.
Meecutio: Want to go see Caucasian Chalk Circle tonight?
Sestana: That sounds great! You and I like the same things. We live parallel lives. I'll have to check with the rest of the family, though.
Meecutio: It's got puppets, music, good costumes and a good story about how to solve disputes.
Random person standing by (interjecting): It's a really great play. I'm a little biased, though ... I'm in the play.
Meecutio: Which part do you play?
Random person: Well, we all play numerous parts throughout the play. There are puppets, songs, and awesome costumes.
Meecutio: So I hear. Is there really a naked puppet?
Random person: Yes, there is a naked puppet.
Meecutio: Well, thanks for the information. We'll see you there.
Sestana (turning back to Meecutio): All right, I'll call you if I'm going to come. Sorry I haven't talked to you in awhile. I'll let you know about the book club.
Meecutio and Meecutio-rita arrive at the theatre soon after, 30 minutes before the play is scheduled to begin.
Meecutio-rita: I wish I could invite a friend.
Meecutio: Inviting friends takes much advance planning. People find it hard to spontaneously jump into events a half hour before they start. You need to ask people a couple of days ahead of time so that they can set aside that period of time in advance.
Meecutio-rita: Oh. That sucks.
Meecutio: Yeah, I find myself making that mistake over and over again.
Meecutio and Meecutio-rita find seats in the theatre. Mecutio-rita finds her friend there. Meecutio works on puzzle, alone, until play begins.

Just about every time I look at a newspaper I think about how I used to work for one. I see mistakes, I think of better headlines, and I miss the days when, in my tiny little microcosm of a town, I would be sent to cover plays, concerts, art exhibits, board of education meetings, city council meetings, county commission meetings, car accidents, robberies, fires, and just about everything else imaginable, from birth to death and everything in between. Once I wrote a story for newspaper week, and the title of my story was "Newspapers: From Birth to Death and Everything In Between." I wrote, edited, took lousy pictures, developed and scanned photos, learned PhotoShop and Quark Express, and put together the pages on the computer and got them ready to go to the press. After I stopped working there, it was difficult to read anything without editing it in my head. My mind was programmed to omit unnecessary words, correct spelling and grammar, and think in active voice. Now, I only catch major mistakes. So much time has gone by since I left the newspaper job that the time I spent there is only a tiny fraction of my life (about 1/9th). I have spent more time than that, after that, in my current vocation, which isn't even close to being fun but somehow is held to a higher societal value, even though it impacts less people and tends to suck the life out of everyone involved (no, I am not an embalmer, but metaphorically close).

A raccoon stood on a downtown sidewalk this evening as we walked by. The raccoon moved like a cat, seemingly tame and curious, with its back arched and its feet tentatively and gracefully approaching the curb. A couple people stopped to watch it and it waited for them while they marveled at it. Then it dove into a huge pile of trash in front of a nondescript store on the corner. It hid behind the huge pile as its perky ears were just visible behind about five big bags of trash. I wonder what kind of surprise will be waiting for the store people in the morning. You never quite know what to expect from raccoons.
Some people we know (David, Milo and Zoe) from a town that's two hours away from here stopped us on the sidewalk to say hi. They saw us from a restaurant window as we walked by, just moments away from the raccoon sighting. David brought them for a journey that was initiated by this day being take-your-kid-to-work day. I told him I thought it was take-your-daughter-to-work day. He said the day has evolved to be gender-neutral. My day consisted of events in which the presence of children is pretty much prohibited.

Someone I haven't talked to in a few months asked me today if I had gotten mean yet, his subtle way of asking me how things are going. He thinks I'm too nice. He operates on the philosophy that being mean is the way to manage life and work. He did go to boot camp. I told him that only the people who know me well know how truly cruel I can be. I hide it well. I did not go to boot camp.

My proudest accomplishment today was working through the complicated, heavy, incongruent labor of one completed office chair, from box to desk in about one and a half hours. Next time I assemble furniture I will plan better and wear pants. Yes, I went without pants today at work. But I was fully clothed.
I got to talk over my idea about speaking out about problems versus keeping them to yourself and letting them fester. I explained my theory about how I came to the conclusion that it is better to talk about it, but best if diplomatically articulated. The person I talked to said that there is no way to be diplomatic about certain problems, as any way you explain will offend. If you find a way to say it without offending the person, you probably will have failed at getting your point across, he said. But perhaps I inspired him to think a little differently, in some small way. I will give myself the credit, anyway.

This past weekend I learned about carrot puppies. I had a grilled carrot puppy sandwich. The carrot puppy sandwich had grilled carrots, coleslaw, lettuce and tomato. Who would just know that? Have I climbed a notch on the sophistication scale now that I do?
This afternoon I took a few minutes to read the introduction to the Strunk & White book. William Strunk was E.B. White's professor in 1919. Strunk's publishing company contacted Mr. White after Strunk's death and asked him to update the book. Mr. White spends most of the introduction bringing life to his memory of Professor Strunk. The memory that I carry away from the introduction is Professor Strunk's assertion that you should be bold about something you're not sure about. If you don't know how to pronounce something, don't be indecisive and timid about saying it. Say it loud and say it wrong, he said. It is better to be confident about your choices, right or wrong, than to be indecisive and inaudible. Your indecision and timidity will cause you to languish indefinitely.
I received a card from my aunt today. Today, more than ever before, she lets me know so warmly that my west coast family members who live a thousand miles away care about me and my life. Thank you.
I have seen her seven or eight times, not counting photographs, but I am family and she cares. Whether I have ever been loving, inconsiderate, altruistic or selfish is irrelevant. I have been none of those things to her, as I live a thousand miles away, but it doesn't matter. Family people love you unconditionally.

Someone using my computer used this as a headline. It automatically came up when I typed in "S." Ants have invaded the interior of our homeplace. On Saturday I worked for three hours in three-inch-heel sandals and cleaned out the garage, or as some in our house call it, the transport system vessel that releases our escape pod. There is a gap where the garage closes that has about the equivalent of a one-inch space. Cat proves to be stealthless in trapping predatees that make it through the small gaps, mice in particular. One mouse? Absent mouse? Ancient mouse? The more I cleaned, the more my throat became scratchy and I started to feel sick. The sky got dark, the air was humid, and it was very quiet. As the eeriness became magnified by nightfall, I stopped my work. I am allergic to (or maybe afraid of) physical labor, especially where mice and excessive dirt and dust are involved. The garage looks pretty good, but it will never be perfect. I'm too indecisive to purge old, old stuff. I mean crap. No, I mean stuff that we might use someday.

I saw the long-awaited local outdoor adventure film show, a weird reunion of a sort for me as I returned one year later for the same exact unusual night. One of the films made fun of the two comments I took from one of the films (the BASE jump movie) from the other outdoor adventure film show I watched two weeks ago. The film from two weeks ago was the peoples' choice favorite film; I didn't get to see the ending and I didn't stay for the whole show but I thought it was the best one. I guess the comments that stuck with me were also the same comments that stuck with the people who made fun of it. There were films about skiing, a trip to Patagonia, a music video (actually a photo montage) with a Joe Gatski song (in memory of him), a skateboarding movie, a fishing movie (no humor whatsoever involved, but some big fish), and that was about it.

Today marks the fourth year I've spent a spring day in April in the same spot in a far-away town. Same event, same people, with a few new faces, same weather, same food. The drive down and back was the best part. The leaves on the trees are a young, light green and are just gracing the tips of the trees, looking more and more green the further south we were. Those purple bushes are in full bloom and were lining the highway. Red bud? This spring, so far, seems to have the most vibrant showing in my memory of early spring blossoms -- the purple bushes, the yellow bushes, the fruit trees, and even the magnolia trees, which are very particular about whether they have the right conditions to show their fleeting, fantastical flowers.
Today and yesterday I pondered the ancient dilemma of choosing between speaking out about problems and keeping your mouth shut. It takes courage to speak out and voice concerns. Being honest about voicing concerns means facing the consequences of the ripple effect it will have on other people. Stepping on their toes. Usually, keeping your mouth shut means staying safe in your own sphere, the nobody-bothers-me-and-I-don't-bother-anybody mentality. On the other hand, staying silent sometimes makes the problem worse. The dilemma can be translated to whether you want to create different problems for other people, or let the original problem fester within yourself. I like to believe it's better to communicate openly and honestly, but at times I can feel sorry that I did, based on how people react badly to my being forthright. I do think it's important to voice concerns: that is how change for the better is made, laws are passed, and people are motivated to make themselves, and the systems they represent, better. The key to voicing problems is to learn to do it diplomatically so that you don't hurt peoples' feelings and generate negativity and ill will in the process.

Again I worked straight through the day, but this time I left at 4:45 p.m. instead of my usual 5:45 p.m. The weather was unbelievably brilliant, beautiful, bright and warm. Again I came home and immediately spent a while on the phone, before I got to do anything, but this time it was not for a stranger. I tried the flan. It tasted just like it should: eggy and creamy. We went to the library and the usual crowd was there. There's the guy who sits in the chair and meditates, usually while holding something in his mouth, like a $5 bill or a styrofoam cup. There's the guy who walks into town every day at around 2:30 p.m. right past my window. He has a ponytail, black leather jacket, and chronic cough. There's the guy with the gray afro, but I didn't see him tonight. The guy with the English accent is always delightful. I will have to get up very early tomorrow for a drive down south.

I worked straight through the day, not stopping at all even for a bathroom break or something to pacify the empty stomach. As soon as I got home in the evening, the phone rang and it was a person who was performing a survey on behalf of our state lottery system. I agreed to answer the questions, still needing a bathroom break. He laughed when I told him that it's been about 10 years since I participated in buying lottery tickets; but I'm not the one who purchased the tickets because it was through a group of people I worked with about 10 years ago. Some of the questions (maybe all the questions) had to do with marketing: my demographic status (age bracket, income bracket, education bracket) and what radio stations and TV shows I listen to or watch. Statistically, I believe I am outside the scope of the target audience of the lottery consumers in this state. Coincidentally, on the way to work this morning I listened to a song that goes like this: "When I win the lottery, I'm gonna buy all the girls on my block a color TV and a bottle of French perfume." I started to think about how I only know two of the girls on my block, and I wondered what I'd buy my neighbors, if anything, if I played and won. And then I wondered if the people who just won the lottery in my town about three weeks ago would buy their neighbors anything and to what extent their winnings would go to their lesser-known acquaintances. I also wondered this morning whether any of the lottery winners would be interested in buying the miniature stone castle nearby that just went up for sale for $2.1 million. I wonder if there's such a thing as a guide for lottery winners, like a "Managing Multi-Million Lottery Winnings for Dummies." I think there is a separate etiquette called for with lottery winners, rather than just getting multimillions through inheritance or earnings. I should have told that survey company guy my idea when he called tonight. Too bad I hadn't thought it all through until now.
Today a member of my household made flan and made a big mess in the kitchen. Burnt pans, burnt mugs, lots of stuff spilled on the floor, and stuff scattered everywhere. I have a deep gash on my finger from trying to scrape burnt sugar out of the bottom of a bread pan. I am bleeding from getting my finger caught on burnt sugar. Totally unrelated to the making of flan in my home, I ordered it at a Mexican restaurant three days ago and had a five-minute discussion with my friend on what the ingredients are: I said cream, sugar, eggs and corn starch. It's actually made from milk, sugar, eggs and vanilla. The waitress corrected my pronunciation. Who can remember whether it's flan or flonnnnn? The maker of the flan today had no idea I had ordered and eaten it this weekend. She wasn't wise to the ways of pronunciation, either.

Once in a while in the mornings it takes effort to get past that groggy, lazy space that originates in my brain and emanates like a hazy fog that lingers over the rest of my body. Maybe it's Monday Syndrome; maybe it was partly because of the sunburn that seemed to have taken a toll on my skin. I got a sunburn on the tops and backs of my ears, which I think is a first for me. I don't sunburn easily, but I felt like I'd come back from the beach today, worn out, sizzled and edgy. I saw about 20 people today and only one commented that I had been out in the sun; about the same kind of probability I'd face if I had just gotten a haircut or third ear-piercing. I recognize there is a big difference between noticing a haircut and commenting about the haircut ... but I don't think anybody would notice if I got a third ear-piercing. I don't think anybody ever noticed or commented that I have two. Or one, for that matter (thinking back to when I was 10). Really, people can be so self-absorbed. I blame it on the fashion magazines. In effort to widen my perspective and take the edge off the Monday, I picked up some reading material today --- a newspaper and a fashion magazine. Tomorrow I'll be In Style, after I read my latest issue of In Style from cover to cover. By the way, I don't think it's In Style anymore to have three ear piercings on one ear.

This weekend, I saw two relatively entertaining movies, "In Bruges" and "Leatherheads." Two good movies in one weekend for me is a record. Movies usually disappoint me, and as each movie ends another sliver of my faith in the film industry floats away to join an abyss of Hollywood mediocrity.
"In Bruges" is the first movie I've seen with Colin Farell. I now realize that he's been in about 25 movies since 1999, but I didn't know who he was until Friday. He plays a hit man who is forced to take a vacation in Bruges, Belgium, with his partner and they don't know why they're there, but find out about halfway through the movie. The movie themes capture the feeling of hopelessness one has after making an irreversible mistake; the excitement of meeting someone new when everything clicks into place as if by magic; and the curiosity one feels when one crosses paths with a midget (from the movie: "They prefer to be called dwarves.").
Leatherheads is lighthearted and goofy, and played out in the style of a movie that might have been produced in the 1960s, with manic cheerfulness, lines that sound too rehearsed, and costumes that look like they could have come from any Jimmy Stewart movie. It manages to be funny in a refreshing way that makes the viewer appreciate the lives of our relatives who lived through the mid-1920s. One of the annoying mistakes that movie makers make is not incorporating patterns of speech from the relevant time period into the script, but that wasn't the case (too often) in the movie; it tended to take you back and you could believe you were watching a scene from 1925. I like that. And you don't have to like or understand football to appreciate the movie.

It was a great day to get sun and work outside for a project, which is what I did with a group of people. Just like how I picture a Utopian society would work. Everybody pitches in one-sixteenth and a big thing gets done. We put a playground set together for an elementary school.

Work was unusual. Three of us drove to another town 45 minutes away, and, upon arrival, found out that the city water is undrinkable because of E-coli and that there is a boil-water advisory. Someone said the sewer part of the water got mixed in with the water supply somehow. I thought it all got mixed in together anyway and was all bleached and sanitized and chemicalized and filtered all together. Schools were closed, some restaurants were still open, and our workshop we were going to attend was still going on. When the three of us arrived at the workshop we were attending, one of the instructors was passing out registration forms to the three of us. We all have the same job title. She asked me if I was the assistant to one of the men. She didn't ask anyone else that question. Was it a gender stereotype? Am I automatically the suspect subservient subject because I am a female person? Maybe. Was it that I look too young? I don't know. What if I looked 30 years older than I do? Would I have gotten that same question? What if I were a man? Would I have gotten that same question? Did I do something to project the notion that I was an assistant? Someone told me recently that I need to project more self confidence. Would that have made a difference? Does it really matter?

Another non-stop day today at work. I expected it to rain today but the weather was balmy and warm and no rain fell during the daylight hours. I went for a walk, uphill then downhill, and studied and theorized on the dynamics of my neighborhood. Planned-use area. Quiet. No one travels through here unless they're coming and going from one of the houses around here, which happens about once every 15 or 30 minutes. Many houses were built at the same time and look very much the same, much like most of the neighborhoods that exist. I started thinking about how the same types of houses were built in railroad towns to accommodate the railroad workers; the Sears Crafstman houses that were built mostly between 1910-1912 that are distinctly efficient and not lacking in character; the many houses built in the 1920s that have three rooms downstairs and three rooms upstairs, and only one bathroom. My mind soon tired of the analysis and I quickly moved on to being acutely aware of the rocks in my shoes.

I meant to take a walk at lunchtime today but got busy. But I found time to be outside afterward. Everyone seems to be out and about these past two days. Downtown, yesterday, there was a skateboarder flying down High Street. Today there was a girl rollerblading on the sidewalk downtown. Amazing how the world transforms before your eyes when the weather changes. People are walking their dogs and/or jogging on every block. The smell of barbecue permeates the air around dinnertime. Flowers are blooming everywhere on the trees. Everything is happy.

I finished a vampire book Sunday -- a best-selling, young adult teenage vampire romance book, the third in the series. A member of my family discovered the first book in the series while perusing through a book order flyer from her school. Middle school. I wonder how this vampire romance novel got into the book order targeted to middle school students. Parents would trust the book order would have books that are not about teenage issues like driving, sneaking out, and lying to parents. I worried a little about the content, but the story really did, for the most part, pull me in. Of course, reading in itself will generally be a benefit to the reader, in terms of getting interested in reading, turning the words into the world of imagination in one's head, and helping the reader evolve into a better writer. The book, in addition to being a decent story, contains such parent-cringing content as dishonesty to parents, vampire sleepovers (boy with girl and unbeknown to dad), sneaking out, and other rampant risk-taking behavior (gasp!). I was surprised to learn that the author is a member of a church that I consider to have strict religious beliefs. Once I started reading it, I had a little bit of a concern about how the vampire the main character fell in love with seemed to be a tiny bit controlling and had anger issues. One of the more disturbing things that bothered me the most about the book was that there were a lot of typos in it. More typos than one would expect to find in a best seller. I read the credits in the end and the author gives much thanks to the friends or associates of hers who have tirelessly edited for readability. I guess I would call that another bad influence. You're supposed to learn about how to write by reading; not make it OK to publish a series of best-selling novels that have grammatical mistakes in them. Why aren't I an editor? I write this as if my writing is error-free.
The events portrayed in the series are not anymore wayward than the events portrayed in many movies middle schoolers watch, but the difference with a book is that the reader tends to get more emotionally involved with the characters. OK, I did get emotionally involved. When I finish a good book, I feel like I am saying goodbye to friends. I don't know if that's weird or not. When I was nine and I read Bambi, I cried when Bambi's mom died. My mom was in the car with me and she laughed and was genuinely amused when she discovered me leaning up against the window with tears streaming down my face and the only explanation was that the book had a sad ending. Obviously she hadn't read this one. It wasn't just some short version of Bambi that Disney published; it was a big, thick book with a long, involved story that went into a lot of detail about Bambi's life, in first person. I guess it made me sad because it was the first time I'd ever faced someone's mother actually dying -- knowing what it feels like and knowing that it's an inevitability that your mom is going to die someday, if she hasn't died already. It's tragic. The other time I cried when I read a book was when I finished Flowers for Algernon and Charly went back to being mentally challenged, after the smartness wore off. It wasn't especially sad that the high IQ wore off, it was just told in a heartbreaking way. And Siddhartha. So sad.

Friday, April 4, to Saturday, April 5
Finally the energy of spring spreads to this land. I went for a walk today and I feel alive! The walk I took enabled me to take in fresh air, but I feel it’s one of the lowest forms of walking --- traveling on a circular track. On the other hand, all playgrounds should have circular tracks. That would give the supervisors a benefit and the motivation to do something productive, as opposed to sitting on the bench. I’d say the lowest form of walking would be on an indoor circular track. Today, the outdoors, the benefit of fresh air, the scenery of a view over the town, a little dog making a run for it, and the scent of wood chips spread on a playground make the circular track as close to a regular walk as it gets. All that repetition really gets to a person after awhile. I can only look at the stale piece of bread lying in the path so many times without getting highly annoyed. I don’t think most people have a problem with walking on a circular track. Maybe it’s just a weird personal thing I have against repetition. It kills the spontaneity that I crave.
Anticipating Friday night through Sunday morning's bliss of tranquility, free will, and stillness in my own little sphere of being evaporated in seconds upon a phone call in the afternoon of Friday. No, you cannot count on any of this, as much as you might have believed you could. What was the reason given for this proverbial rug being pulled out from under me? It was that someone who lives in another town had to do homework, and therefore my anticipated inner peace would be converted to the gift of a family of three, in which inner peace frequently goes out the window. I will look back upon the days of my children's youth with the satisfaction of being lucky enough to be able to enjoy their childhood to the fullest.
We went shopping for a cake mix so that we can have cake cookies, saw a movie downtown (Be Kind Rewind) and had dinner with friends. Looking back, I wouldn't have wanted to spend the evening any other way, actually.

Last year, an inspiring way for me to start spring was to go to an outdoor adventure film festival in town. Filmmakers who I knew, who I never knew were filmmakers until that night, had films about caving, rock climbing, and skateboarding. There were also movies about whitewater rafting, ice climbing, and a fantastical trip to Brazil. So many of the film festivalgoers were happy, easygoing, energetic, healthy, smiling, and driven to (or driven by) outdoor adventure sports, which made for an atmosphere of something that reminded me of home --- where, most of the time, people are nice to each other and everything is always OK, and at least someone is wearing a North Face jacket and a funny hat. Since a lot of the people there came to see their friends' or family members' films, and people who I hadn't seen in a while were turning up all over the place, there was a comfortable familiarity around there.
At any rate, I thought that was where I was headed tonight --- to the same kind of outdoor adventure film festival I remembered from last year. Instead, it was a commercial, international, more formal film-watching event that was different in a good sense, but not so good. At least, this time, there was plenty of room for everyone, since it was at a theater instead of a bar, but there were Patagonia commercials, and sponsors, and people showing the films who were just passing through town for another film showing somewhere else. Base jumping and skydiving were captivating, though, and the films were full of stories of falling, injury, and earth-moving achievements. I learned from one of the base jumpers in the movie that a base-jumper's life span has an average of six years: either the person gets bored and stops, too injured to continue, or dies in the process. Also, the same guy had a good metaphor for luck vs. experience: When you start out, the experience jar is empty and the luck jar is full; every time you get lucky, you take a little piece from the luck jar and put it in the experience jar, until the experience jar gets full, and that's when your luck runs out, and then the only thing that keeps you alive is the value of your experience. I think this guy is the same guy that tried to unsuccessfully jump off the Empire State Building sometime last year. He might be suing the city right now because the guards prevented him from jumping off the building, and in the process he got hurt. Or something like that.
Local stuff, two weeks from now.
At about 5:50 p.m. there was a gigantic rainbow over one section of the town. It looked like a huge bubble that was about to burst. It was actually a double rainbow. I like the unpredictability of March weather. The sun shone brightly, the rain poured down erratically, and the wind was crazy. I immediately wished I could share the news with everyone so they'd look outside and see it. The passenger in my car wanted to follow it so we could find what was at the end. We were on our way to a gymnastics class, a first try. We liked it and want to go back. The miniature gymnasts jumped forward and backward on the balance beam. They had to do 10 push-ups as a punishment each time they fell off.

I have a buddy at work who is from Newfoundland and he is here on a work visa doing an internship with our company. So far, he has shot his first gun and we hooked him up with an old bow he is learning how to shoot now. Basically, we are trying to turn him into the biggest redneck we can before he goes back to Canada. I want to take him down to the houseboat this weekend for the opening weekend of squirrel season, but I am not sure about getting him a hunting license, him carrying a gun, etc. I am going to give the FWC or ATF a call and check it out, but I was just wondering if anyone had any info about the requirements for a Canadian citizen hunting here in the US. Any info would be appreciated.
All it takes is a non resident hunting license. I've hunted and fished in Canada a lot. No reason it would be different for a Canadian to hut down here.
As Jack said, make sure he has a non-resident hunting license. As for carrying a gun, as long as he is here legally on a valid work visa he can buy and possess firearms.
Hunting license lets him bring his own gun down or probably use someone else's but I doubt it lets him legally buy a gun unless it's a grey market transaction.
"Also, non-citizen cannotrams dealer unless they have been a resident of their state for 90 days."
Since he is down on a work visa and assuming he's not on track to become a permanent resident of the state he'll never reach that 90 day mark even if he's here for 5 years.

Analysis: Donald Trump may get second court pick
SUPREME SPECULATION: President Trump, left, could make a second Supreme Court appointment if Justice Anthony Kennedy, right, retires this year.

WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers and punditsget his second Supreme Court appointment in his first year in office, hinting that Justice Anthony Kennedy will retire in a matter of months.
“I would expect a resignation this summer,” last week. He didn’t mention Kennedy by name, but speculation over the justice’s future has reached a crescendo in Washington.
But scuttlebutt over Kennedy’s retirement began even before Trump took office, and has escalated recently. In an interview on C-SPAN, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt told a Herald reporter he expects “Justice Kennedy would retire this June and we have a five-member originalist court.”
At the annual , U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said: ”
The last time two Supreme Court justices were appointed in one year was 1971, when President Richard Nixon’s nominees Lewis Powell Jr. and William Rehnquist were confirmed in the same month.
Replacing Kennedy, the so-called swing voter who has ruled to protect abortion rights and same-sex marriage, would give Trump a chance to appoint a conservative who could allow the court to reconsider those issues and others, including expanding Second Amendment gun rights and upholding Trump’s executive orders on immigration and climate actions.

As the drama swirls around Lehman Brothers, many of its employees are preparing to jump ship, says BusinessWeek, whose offices are across the street.
BW: [T]he mood inside Lehman’s Times Square office is said to be somber. Sources say many of the brokers at Lehman have listed with headhunters, trying to find new jobs. Teams of traders are putting out feelers to friends at other Wall Street firms about making a jump...
"I'm in touch with a lot of people there who are very nervous, and up until now had been loyalists who never considered anything other than staying at Lehman for their career," he said in an interview.


Do any of you think that God is white?and if so, on the day of judgement, do you believe God will look at you differently because you are white?
So I say, why respect people who have no respect for us?
In the past, Christians did the same, didn't they?If one of your pagan ancestors refused to convert, might they not be slaughtered?
Yeah, you're right. Hundreds of years ago, before it reached a period where the religion actually progressed and grew with the people. See, back then, people weren't nearly as intelligent, and somehow justified their actions. These days, however, Christians don't do that. Why?
None. Not a single business ratio of whites to blacks, straights to gays, men to women or any sort of quota. Which one?Which business requires employers to hire black people and black people only?
Surely you're not so blind you can't see this, right?I mean, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. I really do. But I can't help but notice that you're, well...wrong. And if you believe it...
Personally, I don't have time to attack any of you. Why should I?
Of course you don't. Why?Because you weren't there, correct?Exactly. And because of this fact alone, how can you say it's untrue that it ever happened?How can you say that it NEVER happens, when it has, and does, and will continue, and I was one of the people to whom this happened?
Secondly, "there is no law" that says you have to hire a certain number of blacks?Reeeeeeeeeally...
If a black man and a white man, with the same credentials, enter into a business establishment attempting to obtain a job at said business, if the employer HAS to make a choice between the two candidates, they will accept the black roughly 75% of the time. Why?

Early last Friday, authorities say, Adam Lanza shot his mother repeatedly in the head with her .22 calibre rifle as she lay in bed. He then drove to the elementary school, shot his way in and fired dozens of rounds into tow first-grade classes using her Bushmaster assault-type rifle. Some of the children were shot 11 times. He then shot and killed himself with one of her pistols.
We’ve been told, by a former classmate, that he was “weird.” We’ve been told, by a family friend, that he played a lot of violent video games. And we’ve also been told by such sources that he had a “developmental disorder,” that some say was Asperger’s Syndrome.

What a start it has been!There hasn't been a better world cup as far as entertainment goes that I've seen, and it goes further back than that. With a clear break in gameweeks today it's time to assess what to do with our 2 trades for the upcoming gameweek. Remember, we get to completely re-do our teams for the knock-out stages!
Personally I've been pretty average in the foxsports game, of course it was my late transfers that set me back. The team I posted in my reveal scored far better, but what can you do. I've had a draft between a few mates that has been very fun to play and I highly recommend everyone to try it out for the next premier league season, or even the knockout stages!
With 1 round to go in the group stages, focus your next 2 trades on improving your team for the next round of fixtures only. Make sure you take into account who is automatically through and who has everything to play for, the results may show. I'd make sure you have guys like Muller, Oscar and Neymar who all have crucial clashes coming up. RVP is out with suspension for the next game, so he needs to go. The other player of note if Yaya Toure, who's brother tragically passed away last week. He is staying at the world cup, but who knows how he will be affected. In defence I like Switzerland as a differential, I also reckon Shaqiri may be in for a big one. Feel free to post any trade queries in the comments!
We'll be back for a wrap-up of the group stages after their completion on Friday, with the knock-out stage of the competition due to begin on Saturday night. Good luck to everyone and more importantly, come on you Aussies!

What's your thinking on Colombians?
You were right Dan!Rodriguez started from the bench. But still dominated haha!
What's everyone's tactics from here?
Probably depends on how many active players we have left?
Ahhhh we do to!Saw 4 on the main screen…Bugger haha…
On a more positive note, I am ranked third in the Sportal World Cup Comp, so I'm sweating on a few trades!(Who said being at the top was easy?


This might well be the latest case of how a story is twisted beyond recognition and then presented in the media, fueling a rumour, which could very well cause panic in the markets.
Now, the Finance Ministry has clarified via twitter that all such news reports were baseless and:
For the past few days, the media took the readers for a jolly good ride. A story which was basically the opinion of a non-Government person, was packaged and presented as if it was a story based on some information from some Government source or document.


>> leggy lass is seen doing the famous scene from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in her upcoming film Chennai Express. Do you think Dips can evoke the same romantic feeling a la Kajol?
Remember a hasty Kajol running to catch the train, while the charming (and much younger) Shahrukh Khan extends his helping hand to get the chirpy gal on board in Aditya Chopra’s 1995 blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? Well, you are going to revisit the magical scene from DDLJ in Rohit Shetty’s next, Chennai Express. Only this time around, it’s Deepika and not Kajol who will be seen chasing the train. Interestingly, Shahrukh will again make sure that his new Simran..errr..lady love doesn’t miss the train. Will the two recreate the magic of the legendary scene, and pull off the act the way SRK’s Raj Malhotra and Kajol’s Simran Singh did many years ago? We are not quite sure about that!
A little birdie who keeps a watch on the recent happenings of B-town chirped to us that Rohit Shetty has started the shooting of Chennai Express, starring Dips and SRK in the lead role, and the film is slated to release in 2013.


STREETSBORO — After its development reportedly 60 years ago, Gerald Drive may finally get repaved.
The city discussed the 2019 City Street Inventory, an annual document that ranks the severity of road conditions in the city from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst. The GDP Group reviews the streets yearly and discusses findings with the city’s service department, project manager Matthew Glass said in an email. The roads are ranked based on GDP’s knowledge and the department’s input.
City Council has established the annual budget for road paving. Elliman Road, rated 2; Cecil Drive, rated 3; Russell Drive, rated 2; and Kennedy Road, rated 2, are budgeted to be part of the 2019 Road Resurfacing Program. Crane Center Drive, rated 4, and West Wason Drive, also rated 4, will also be repaired if the budget allows.
The repair and resurface of Phillipp Parkway (rated a 2) and Mondial Parkway (also rated 2) will be funded partially The grant will cover $400,000 of the estimated $948,000 project, leaving the city to pay the remaining $548,000.
City Council entertained allocating additional funding so Gerald Drive (rated 3) could be added to the list. Councilman Jon Hannan, with the support of several current Gerald Drive residents, introduced the discussion to Council.
"There are residents here that are asking why their road’s not being paved," Hannan said. "Some of them have never been paved and some of them have no informationd."
In a later conversation, Mayor Glenn Broska explained which roads get repaved is based on factors including budgeting, grants and large projects. The money reserved for road repairs is also used for the city’s share of projects like the state Route 43 repair. He said money goes toward those instead because they benefit the most people.
Gerald Drive is bookended by Cecil Drive and Russell Drive, two roads already scheduled to be paved. According to the 2019 City Street Inventory, Gerald Drive was first paved in 1959. No date of additional paving is listed.
"It’s not that anyone is taking away anything from anybody else, but we only have a finite amount of funding," Broska said. "We have to try and spread that funding out as much as we can and have as much profound effect upon the people in the city."
At the end of the discussion, Finance Director Jennifer Esarey confirmed to Council that money from the capital fund could be used to resurface Gerald Drive. Though the amount will be around $50,000, she asked to consult with Streetsboro City Engineer Joe Ciuni before giving an official number.
The item was moved by council to the next Financial Committee meeting on March 25.

Socialist President Obama has spent more than $100 million trying to paint, as an evil, rich, greedy, tax cheat. This Blogger has been saying for months that Mitt Romney is a Boy Scout and we saw proof during the Republican Convention. Many people that have known and have worked with Mitt Romney for years testified to his decency, intelligence and skills to get the job done. Romney is not the kind of guy, unlike Obama, who goes around bragging about himself because Romney is secure in who he is. But, we heard story after story about Mitt Romney's involvement in helping other people. Romney is a really good and decent guy by any standard.
We need Mr. Fix It in Washington DC. We  get our country back on track n once again in America. In the mean time, since Obama has no record of accomplishment to run on, we can expect that Obamanistas will lie, cheat or steal to stay in office. That means we will see more sleazy, dirty politics from these Socialists as they attempt to slander Mitt Romney's good name. Whatever their policy differences, the facts concerning Mitt Romney are otherwise.

ed by every passing car. It was a black, grotty (to put it in good ol’ English terms) and miserable out there. There’s nothing like incessant, heavy rain to magnify filth and poverty, particularly in built-up areas. Oh yes, and to test brakes … we bumped into a car as the driver fought with the bus n the heavy traffic. After 5 minutes of discussion and swapping of information, we continued. We, the passengers, no longer completely trusted the vehicle or its driver, which made sleep even more difficult.
Fortunately that was the only incident and within an hour we had left the depressing streets of Nairobi behind. The road to Arusha passes through the bush, with its beautiful acacias, and the occasional small village. Spots of bright red and orange drew attention to the many Masai boys and men tending cattle, the latter often being the cause for violent braking.
Finally we arrived at the Impala Hotel in Arusha! I probably made a great FIRST impression on my Mondo Challenge colleagues by rushing straight past them to hug Gaby and Doug, Gaby being the main nagging reason for my now being in Africa:) Aurelien and John were understanding enough, letting me disappear off with my friends for a wonderful Indian lunch at the “Big Bite”. At 4pm I met up with John again, who took me through Arusha, showing me the various facilities and explaining something of the culture I was about to be confronted with. This serious business was wrapped up with a cold Kilimanjaro at the AICC Club, where I met Angie, Richard and Henrik, 3 other volunteers. Apparently I had unwittingly met two other volunteers at my hotel in Nairobi before leaving this morning. Paul and ?? were on their way to hospital, Paul in crutches, after their vehicle had been run off the road by a drunken driver. I am finding Africa already a small place.
Despite the heavy rains all day and night, the Kilimanjaro Villa Guesthouse was unable to offer even one drop of water from any of its taps, so I was lucky to be able to shower at Gaby and Doug’s. The toilets everywhere are pitholes … somehow I can’t help thinking of Sylvia.

Winning feeling returns with relish for delighted Wie
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Winning is everything for Michelle Wie and after she drained an astonishing birdie putt from off the green on the last hole of the HSBC Women’s World Championship on Sunday, it was a feeling the American could reacquaint herself with after a long wait.
The 28-year-old’s last victory was at the 2014 U.S. Open and after subsequent years battling injuries and technical changes, Wie had some unfinished business in Singapore after she led after three rounds a year ago but failed to seal the deal.
This year, she started her final round five strokes adrift of leader Nelly Korda but chipped away at the deficit with six birdies over her first 17 holes until she completed her coup de grâce with a shot that will be remembered for years.
CADDIE PRAISE
Wie thanked her parents, sponsors and fans for sticking by her in the almost four-year wait for a title victory, but saved her greatest appreciation for caddie Matt Holloway, who she said had played a key role in helping her stay focussed in the chase.
“I jgnd keeping g”
A missed short birdie putt on the 16th was “the kick up the butt” Wie needed to look for something special over her closing holes and after seeking counsel from Holloway one final time, the American made her mind up and committed to her task.
“t ‘O?’
“And I was like, ‘It’s above it, Matt. It’s above it.’ We’re just like, ‘okay, above it’”

Who was Jesus, really?
Kurt J. Peterson, the author of Q: The Very First Gospel, is an utter fool and many such fools write their books. He has, however, written a book that is entirely different from what you will find on bookshelves. Most books about Jesus are overly pious, overly religious, and are so 'stone cold sober' as to miss the point that Jesus and his followers had fun. He was human, right?


Through small stories and a modern context, this book will help you understand and decide what you believe about the greatest story ever told.

"). I'd attended before, but only as the employee of a vendor, so I hadn't gotten to attend workshops.
My overall thoughts on the event? Kinda neutral.
They were all based on TED talks, which was an interesting way to go but ensured that the topics were interesting. The first went into depth on a topic mentioned in Sheryl Sandberg's book, Lean In: success vs likability (also in her TED talk, obviously). Sandberg discusses how we subconsciously devalue successful women and the workshop described how to recognize some of those subconscious feelings and overcome them. Fantastic workshop and excellent timing for me since I've been thinking and talking about this topic lately, anyway.
 Here's MY sales pitch." That's just not how I want to do it. I'd rather make friends and then if we need each other's services it'll just happen naturally.
I'd been to chamber networking events in the past and it had been the my pitch, your pitch thing, but I thought that was my fault because I had no clue how to network back then. Blogging has taught me how incredibly easy it is because I wasn't trying to. I started blogging purely for enjoyment, discovered it's possible to make friends doing it, and then magically that turned into a few different opportunities.
And I do still want to make friends with other entrepreneurs, just for the sake of having people to sympathize with. But maybe Meetup is a better resource for that.

There is lots of violence and dark humor, including the talented Richard Jenkins playing the mob's penny-pinching CPA who serves as the go-between for Pitt and his clients. The role serves Pitt well, given his specialized acting skills, and if you enjoy organized crime movies, there's no reason you won't like this one, too. That said, there is no new ground broken here, and it feels more like a tribute to gritty crime movies of the past instead of an innovative new look at the underworld.

Just a few more minutes and we’ll be into the last month of 2010. Heading round the corner on that home stretch with the finishing line in sight.
Seems like it was just yesterday that it was the new year and I had things, major changes in life to look forward to. I don’t like the fact that I already need to start preparing for another new year. That bums me out, cos I don’t think I’ve accomplished much this year.
Most years I’d be looking forward eagerly to Christmas and New Year, even planning ahead for the goals I’d set for myself next year. This year? All I can say is, “Bah humbug.” I feel like Ebenezer Scrooge. Maybe it’s cos I’m getting older.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go off somewhere and be grumpy about the fact that the new year will be here before I can do anything about it. 😛
2 Replies to “did you know the new year is coming soon?”
There’s still 30 days left, and a lot of things can be done in that time!
Christmas and New Year celebrations seem to have lost their meaning to me too. Sometimes I don’t even know why I bother.
