Odds and Ends…
This Thursday is when I posted my first blog back in 2002. August 23, 2003. It’s in the archives some where if you’re really bored. My favorite number is 23. The day I was born was the 23rd. That’s the story I’m sticking with.
The electric lawn mower works. Which amazes me. It feels like I’m pushing a Fisher Price lawn mower. It’s that light. Powered by a 12 volt battery. Made back in the late 1990′s. Maybe there’s a chance that the old Craftsman Lawn mower maybe revived. But I somehow doubt it. But the front, back and sides of the house are cut until the next rain fall which looks like some time next week. Or whenever the weather forecasters (wing nuts) decide on a forecast beyond five days.
I said in a pulse I hate ITunes. It wouldn’t down load The Hunger Games to my lap top. Seeing how our Blue Ray player isn’t hooked up yet, I bought that version instead in hopes of being used. I should have went with the DVD version first. VUDU has a on-line service where you can view movies but without the DVDs. Call it another version of Netflix. No subscription fees. Just buy the movies online. I guess that’s how it works. It’s through Wall Mart. So, like the fool I am, after I was able to get it working, I watched The Hunger Games. And it’s still a damned fine movie. So I woke up later than I wanted to after falling asleep around 5am this morning.
Sis is going to inflict some new recipe on me today. Where’s the Pepto Bismo at???
It’s nice and cool now but the warm-up is coming back later in the week. I just know, the sunset is sooner now and before too long, Autum will be here and I like the cooler weather.
The next DVD I’m buying is going to be Marvels Avengers in two weeks. The DVD version that is.
Copper is a new series on BBC America I’m going to check out tonight. It’s by one of the writers of Homicide: Life On The Streets. One of my favorite shows of all time. So, I’m going to give it a shot. The actress from the first two Bourne movies stars in it. The series takes place in the late 1800′s. Think The Gangs Of New York.
Well, time for me to waste time else where. Have a great week. School starts here mid week. Be safe out there…

where else can you possibly waste time as well as right here?
your sis is on the right track, trying out new recipes. me too!! i’m trying to kill us all too.
Haven’t had to cut the grass since the 1st of July because of the drought. All the grass was pretty crispy until we FINALLY got rain on Saturday. It was so wonderful that I just took a cup of coffee, put on a hoodie and sat out on the porch where I watched the rain. I think it’s what I’ve been needing to get centered.
I’ve watched the Iron Man series, but haven’t seen Thor. I know I need to watch those before I see The Avengers. I think we are planning a marathon here when that comes out on DVD. I was happy to hear they are making an Iron Man 3. I really enjoyed the last 2.
I can hear Monday breathing. Not looking forward to the start of another week…even with the cooler weather.
