Diary of a Procrastinator

Even thought I had to get up at 5:30 this morning. That seems to be the new Saturday schedule for me at work. I don't really like the early start, but I do like getting home at around 3:00. As I was getting ready to go, I saw a customer wearing the "You Never Forget Your First Doctor" shirt. It looks really good in person. Needless to say, I started a conversation. This is the first real-life Who fan I've met. We would have talked longer if I wasn't being rushed to clock-out by the manager.

The Mets are actually on a roll! I love it. They actually had a marvelous game on national tv. (C'mon, dakfinv, you have to admit it was great)

The stitching is moving ever so slowly and there is no way it will be done in time for the wedding. I've decided to bring it with me, a work-in-progress, just so they can see it.

I went and saw Wolverine on Tuesday. It was interesing to see his beginnings and to pick out things that would later appear in the other movies.

This Week

I'm skipping over a few entries of quotes in order to find one that I think the majority of visitors have read.

"After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

1. A lonely mother gazing out of her window Staring at her son that she just cant touch
2. It's been seven hours and fifteen days Since you took your love away
3. I dont mind you comin here And wastin all my time
4. I read the news today oh boy
5. Beauty queen of only eighteen She had some trouble with herself

OK, so this morning was jury duty. Oh, yeah. I brought a brand new book with me (525 pages) cos I know that it's mostly waiting and I would go absolutely nuts without a book (a major trait in the family). So 8:00am I'm at the courthouse patiently waiting in line as everyone is checked in and given forms to fill out. The clerk gives us all a little peptalk about the judges that might be going to trial and then we see a nifty little video put out the by the FL Supreme Court about the many wonders of jury duty. Long story short, we were all dismissed come 12:00 and I had read over 300 pages.

On the way home to celebrate my good fortune, I finally bought a cellphone, one of the cute little flip-open Motorolas. I'm in the process of searching for just the right ringtone. Of course I checked out some of the Beatles tones but they just sounded so fake. It then hits me this evening "Why not Dr Who?" I found a couple of nice ones, but still have some more searching to do.

OK, so yesterday after work, I did go see "Bewitched". It was cute, fun, lighthearted, everything it was meant to be. At times I felt Will Ferell a bit overpowering, but I did like Nicole Kidman in such a light role. It's nothing to rave about and go wild over, but it was fun. If you want something cute, I'd say this fills the bill.

Oh, and the Mets take a series in the Bronx! Too bad it wasn't a sweep, but I'll take what I can get. : )

I went to see Revenge of the Sith this afternoon mainly for the reason that I've seen all the others as they came out in the theatre. Can I say Bo-Ring? All I really needed to see was about the last 30-45 minutes and I would have been happy. Really, there were parts I was ready to take a nap. Hayden Christensen, as my sister pointed out, has limited inflection. The only moments I liked were with Ewan. In my head I couldn't help but refer to him as "Ben" Kenobi. : ) If it weren't for the ballgame on tonight, I would have pulled out my video of IV A New Hope---the original! which I think is still the best as it can stand alone and you don't need to get bogged down with all that came before or that was to follow.

OK, I'm done now. How long till Batman Begins and Christian Bale?
