Sears, Sleeping and Alfie

Still trying to figure out what to do about the bed. Sears is having a great sale. However, with Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, I am SURE there are going to be better sales out there. Plus, I will have another paycheck to use towards it. Until then, I shall sleep on the contraption I have created, or the floor. I am not below sleeping on the floor if it means extra sleep. I do need to tell my landlord that the bed just isn't working out.

I saw "Alfie" last night. I would like to see the original, to see what they changed. I thought it was okay. I love Jude Law, so that helped me enjoyment quite a bit. Jude is in about 6 movies this year. Sheesh! I saw a preview last night for a movie that I didn't know he was in. I wonder if he broke up with his wife on account of him working so much or if somebody had an affair. Alfie is such a shallow fellow. I hope Jude isn't as shallow as that character he portrayed. I will never know. It's not like he will come to Burlington. Then again, maybe he heard about the wonderful skiiing (wait - we don't have any snow yet!)

Tonight I go to Sears to make a payment. Exciting, I know. For dinner, I might gorge on Kraft Deluxe Mac and Cheese. Oh, I would like to mention that I did read last night. I continued reading "The Hobbit". It's a damn fine book. If you haven't read it, you really should. There are so many books and movies that have been made in the last several decades that have been inspired by this series.

BTW, no snow. No rain. What's the deal? I didn't come to Burlington, Vermont for this. I came for SNOW, DAMNIT. Where's the snow? "It's a long, Indian summer," they say. What do our Native American brethren think about that? Why is it called summer? Why can't they just call it a long, dry fall? I don't understand. Please explain that to me. If you know any meterologists who know the answer, please have them post a comment.

Enough of this. It's after six and time for me to go. I know. This post really isn't that interesting. I do care. But today I just have nothing interesting to write about. I don't even have anything uninteresting to write about. I could go on, but why?

Work. TV. Eat. Read. Sleep. Poop. That's my exciting life. I haven't read Bridget Jone's Diary, but feel that with this blog, perhaps I should. But her fictional life is so much more exciting. Just looking at what they put in the first movie, if that was my life, I would make a movie about it.

I think tomorrow I will shake things up a bit. I don't know what I will do, or how. I just feel compelled to.

I would like to note, in conclusion, that there are several people in the office who have brought in their dogs. Buster (a bulldog) and Jake (a lab mix)Very nice dogs. I would love to bring in Smudge and Steve my cats, but think people might not warm up to them like people do to dogs. But I know they would have a great time here. In my company, I will have my cats in the office. I love the bookshops that have cats. There is something to be said about cats in a bookshop. Maybe that's what I need to do. Open a bookshop. But that might mean reading or encouraging others to read. Maybe not. Maybe I will just eat Snicker bars and watch tv all day. Yes. That's the life for me.

ha ha ha ha ha! Look at how much more I wrote after I said I wouldn't write more. I am now sounding really stupid.
