Back to the everyday

The news didn't start out tonight with "Breaking News" of a shooting in some part of the city.  With the frequency they happen, I think the news should have "Breaking News" when - "This just in so far today we have not, we repeat have not, had a shooting in Over the Rhine or the West End!"  If it happens every night is it really breaking news?

My dog is being a pain.  He won't come inside for breakfast.  He hasn't had breakfast in over a week.  I've had to drag him in every night for dinner.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I went to Berean's after Thanksgiving sale Friday.  I bought "Emma ever after".  I finished the book yesterday.  It was really good.  I like the new Christian chick-lit.  I do some of the things I do.  Maybe it's not exact.  But I'm more likely to curse and feel a twinge of guilt than have a moral objection to wearing slacks.  So many Christian novels are to goody-goody.  Like at the National Youth Worker's Convention, several jokes ended with "being forced to watch the Left Behind movies."  There a way to kill an evening, but I swear: Get out of the burning building, then share how to become a Christian.  It just seems stupid otherwise.

I have to go back to work tomorrow.  Again it's a day to day thing about whether or not, I tell some people where to go and what to do to themselves once they get there.

Week before Thanksgiving

I'm on vacation. Yay!  The house is completely decorated for Christmas.  Which is a lot of work.  I'm watching Days - Alex is going to be Roman.  It doesn't make sense otherwise.  And why is John so skeptical of someone who was presumed dead, but not  isn't that every character on the show?

Tuesday night I went to the Miami football game.  a two hour rain delay.  And then the game started in pouring rain.  I left 10 minutes into the game.  We were down by 18 points!  Three safeties in the first half.  One wasn't Richardson's fault.  But wow, I hope Parsegehian can pass him on the depth chart next year.  Okay, I don't know he can play, but Jaren and Ara seemed to do pretty good.  And I shouldn't ever have to watch Betts as a starting quarterback again.  I know he's not Big Ben, but really truly, Mike Bath was a better quarterback.  The stats don't show the truth.

I leave tomorrow morning for Nashville.  The main sessions are going to be held in an ice rink.  Doesn't that sound cold?   I still have to pack.  Hey we don't leave for 17 hours and 19 minutes.

Last night I want over to meet some friends new twin daughters.  For infants, they're cute, I guess.  Maybe I'll be a better judge when I have my own kids, but now they all look pretty much a like to me.  Their dog sat on my foot and I spent more time petting her than holding the babies.  Yes, you're laughing now - that is so me.  I like dogs better than kids.  Sue me.

The weekend

I'm watching the Days retrospective on Soapnet.  It's really quite funny.  And to think that how short most acting jobs are - these people have had jobs for 20 years!

I went to Palomino last night.  The view used to be better - before the city decided to sink 40 million into a pink elephant.  You know people will ignore the nightly murders if the fountain is centered on the square.  They ran out of gas to toast the top of my creme broulee.  So they paid for my dessert!  I had cheesecake instead.  One huge piece of good cheesecake.  I had the lobster ravioli with tarragon with a tarragon sauce.  It was very good.  It seemed like the pasta was made from scratch with butter.  Yeah, I'm so used to nice restaurants as you can tell.

I can't believe Christmas is so close.  Usually by now I'm finished with my Christmas shopping.  And this year, I'm only about half done.  It's early, but we are putting up the tree this week.  I have a few days off before I go to Nashville.

Wednesday

I'm watching a game on tv that's taking place 20 miles from here.  But there's not a whole lot on tv.  Except UC in the dark.

I'm just kinda eh.  I'm here I want to post an entry but I don't have much to say.

Oh work today, Don't you love it when you have to explain the same thing month every month to someone who's supposed to know more than you?  I'd say he really doesn't know as much as me.

Last comment: I have the two cutest dogs around.

TGIF, well, T

Ohh!  I just typed out six paragraphs, highlighted it to change the font.  And accidently deleted it all.  I want to whine now.

I mentioned that I want to use the flag smileys that I have on IM.  They're cute. 

And I was enjoying that I'm at the start of a 4 day weekend.  We're going to Chattanooga to eat where Rachel ate on $40/day.  Laugh, but you mention it and all sorts of people say they watch her too.  Then I was talking about how we rough it camping in the 32 foot trailer with WIFI, cable, sewer, electric & water hookup.

I'll talk to you later, I don't feel like mentioning my feelings about the Cincinnati mayorial election.
