back from the beyond
okay, i admit i am not the most up to the minute of people. if i have a ton of stuff to do during the day, getting on the computer is often the last thing i want to do when i get home. but i am surprised that it's been close to a month since i've even COMMENTED on lj!
where to begin. the rundown: nine kitties? check. mama kitty fixed? check. mama kitty being mysteriously pregnant when we took her into the vet when we have no non-spayed males in the house and she doesn't go outside? yeah...check. she was going to have babies again and i have no idea how. but if we had cancelled the appointment, i would have found mama kitty nursing newborns and ended up with a grand total of 11 fuzzballs.
new position in effect along with a $2 raise? hell yeah. it's not much of a raise but it's a huge help. the only bad thing is that i feel like i'm in school from 8-4:30 everyday. we are learning how to run (and in my case teach) the new soft ware. then we have a month on our own where we tweak and play and rebuild what we thought we did was right in the first place. and i have to do the manuals for training along with all this. i LOVE screen shots. they are my new best friends. and this is coming from someone who has a hell of a time figuring out how they worked on dA!
hmmm, the living room and hallways here are painted a lovely rosemary green and the carpet has begun to be torn off the stairs. i need to find out who installed the original carpeting and then beat them over the head with a large stick. literally every 1/2 inch there is a carpet staple. and that's on top of the nail strips. it's pure torture to rip out. but the wood underneath is a beatiful buttery oak.
new obsessions? the excitement of a new inuyasha season and legend of the seeker. this is what i get for late night googling. not only is craig horner/richard cypher delicious looking without a shirt, but it gives the good fantasy genre of hercules and xena. more serious plotlines, but a naked wizard of the first order and a chicken still brings amusement. i am sooo tempted to take vacation for next year at this time and take a field trip to comic-con in san diego.
we have our new movie theatre and i went to see half-blood prince there. it's beautiful and a lot of the original 1926 architecture has been restored. the only downside is a lack of AC. when you are crammed in there like sardines, it gets so hot.
hmmm...what else for a small town...oh! a movie is supposedly going to film in a nearby county. now cameron county doesn't have a whole lot there, i'm not sure they really even have a hotel in the county, i could be wrong, but it's VERY rural. there is talk of a movie called "unstoppeable" with denzel washington being filmed there using the olean, ny - driftwood, pa railroad. we were shocked. they would have to house everyone here in my county since they were estimating close to 300 hotel rooms being necessary. i don't know if we have that many but close. it would be great for our rural economy if it does come.
for now i think that's it!
