Mom is 49 today. But she’s still got a year left before she’s 50, and you better believe it… I got her two cds, hopefully she’ll like them. It’s nice that she has a stereo now, cause that means I can get her cds…sad but true, I am a fan of easy shopping.
Why does no one believe that I carved that <a href="aspire/gallery/upload/girl/legopumpkin.jpg” target=”_blank”>pumpkin? Yes, I did use a pattern, but I carved it myself, I even have the stains on my shirt to prove it…

39 years ago…
StandardJohn F Kennedy was assasinated. I remember when Beauty and the Beast came out it premiered on the 22nd of Nov, and how it was sad that such a great movie came out on the same day as such a tragic event. I was 10 or so, already thinking deep thoughts, lol. Of course, there were several music cds, etc, released last year on Sept. 11, and it’s always a little wrenching to see that as the release date.
On a lighter (or darker, as the case may be) I’ve been writing more on Decadence and TMC. Decadence is already getting gory. Definitely an influence of the books I’ve been reading 
I hope I can actually go through with it.
I finally developed the pictures from graduation and this summer and this fall…course it’s only three rolls. There are some pretty wacky pics in there. You can see some of them here, don’t laugh too hard.
I want advance tickets to TTT, damnit! All the sites I’ve tried don’t seem to have them for this area. Phooey. lol. I’m not obsessed, really. Only 25 days left!
An architect, an artist, and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress.
The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.
The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there.
The engineer said, “I like both.”
Engineer: “Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done.”
sigh.
You Might be an Engineer If…
StandardThis is obviously geared to guys and we’ve already discussed how I am not really an engineer, I’m only one-third engineer (1. Bio 2. Medical 3. Engineering), but it is kind of sad which ones still apply. A point for you if you can figure out which ones.

This blog has been active for a year…can you believe it? I can’t imagine life without it, but it’s been such a short time…I feel like I should celebrate somehow, but I suppose I should just make a new layout…Hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. What a long strange trip it’s been.

Ring Thing…after a while
Standardin case you’re wondering, here’s the link: http://www.lilithofsherwood.com/rings-thing/
There seems to be a trend of including more and more on the DVD release of a film.
Can this trend be taken too far? Has it already gone too far? Or is the more always the merrier?
Well, I’m certainly glad they did it in this case. The LotR:FotR Collector’s Edition DVD is a masterpiece to say the least. SO much information. I still haven’t gotten through anything but the movie and a few of the interviews. I like having the information available, but I know that most movies have more stuff generated that we’ll never see that if every movie came out with stuff like this we’d be broke in a year. I don’t especially like duplicating movies that I have, but in this case I think it was worth it. I guess what I think is good is put the extras on one disc, or two at most. I don’t think any of the other LotR movies will have such a big set, being that most of the behind the scenes stuff was in this edition. But I can’t wait to see the extended versions of the other two movies. I don’t mind sitting through extra hours of footage. I’m a LotR freak and happy with it.
BTW, advance tickets for TTT are supposed to come out on Friday. I’ll be looking!
Wish upon a shooting star
StandardI saw the Leonids last night. I actually set my alarm for 4:30 am. Made me think of the beginning of last track season when we had to be at the back of the AC at 5:30 am to leave. Sigh.
What’s funny is the old watch I use as a snooze alarm was set for 4:20, and it went off, and I hit the stop button. About a second later it went off again, went for a few seconds while I fumbled with the buttons, and then stopped. The batteries had died. I guess someone wanted me to see the meteors
It was cold. Not so cold that you couldn’t stand outside too long, and I was nearly too tired to care. The sky was so clear. It would have been better if there was no full moon, but it was in the west and the shower’s radiant was in the east, and my house between, so all was well. There were a few bursts of 3 in a row, and 3 or 4 really bright ones with long tails, but nothing terribly spectacular. I think if I’d had a telescope it might have been a little more exciting, cause there were many times when I’d see one out of the corner of my eye or one that was so faint I wasn’t sure if I had just imagined it or seen a tree branch waving or somesuch.
But since it’s not going to be so clear for another three decades, I decided to see it.
And my wish? No, I don’t think I’ll tell you. You’ll know if it comes true.
1. Long or short hair? Long. And curly 🙂
2. Microwave or conventional oven? Microwave, much as it annoys me. I’m for fast.
3. Plain or Peanut M&M’s? Plain, if at all. Not a big fan of M&Ms.
4. “101 Dalmations”…animated or live-action version? Animated.
5. Drink out of bottle/can or pour into a glass? Bottle/can, unless it’s a party.
6. Sunlight or moonlight? Moonlight, especially the full moon. Like last night.
7. Kermit the Frog or Miss Piggy? Kermit.
8. Glasses or contact lenses (or neither)? Glasses, mostly, just because it takes less time to put on glasses than put in contacts. If I’m doing anything active though, gotta have contacts.
9. Action movies or chick flicks? Sci-fi/fantasy with action and romance 🙂
10. Toilet seat…up or down 
? Down, of course!
