RTBTCKI (The Caroline’s Summer Vacation 2011 edition)
Posted By Kathleen David on June 26, 2011
According to Caroline, her summer vacation doesn’t official start until tomorrow. Her reasoning is that she would be home on the weekend anyway so until it is a day that she went to school (i.e. Monday), it isn’t summer vacation yet.
I learned something new. Did you know that your souped-up cable box may be costing you a pretty penny? Even more so for multi-boxes households? Maybe 10 dollars a month or possibly more (but maybe less). Apparently the American Cable box was not build for conservation but efficiency. Makes me aware that I should at least drop them to sleep mode when I am not using them.
Mets beat the Rangers. No, the Mets slapped the Rangers around. Sure the previous game was a Ranger win of 8 to 1 but this was a 14 to 5 game and the Mets just kept hitting. It was nice to see.
For you bowling fans, the various bowling ball manufactures sent in their best players for a tourney and ESPN is showing the results this weekend.
So if I am understanding this correctly, there will be no football or basketball for the foreseeable future? Let’s go Hockey, I guess.
I need to get some of the cats’ nails clipped by a professional. Stalin sounds like a small pony with all the clip clopping he is doing.
We have sunshine this morning for the first time in a while. Haven’t looked to see the temperatures for the day yet.
Random Kath is Random today.
Today is split between a couple of projects I am late on and restocking the larder. We have been living on float for a while but now we are out of bread products and most of our produce.
Need to figure out the next step in a project. Also I think I need some more time to get everything done but I don’t think that is going to happen.
I had another thought to put here but it wandered away.
At least the laundry is done.
I need to sit down and figure out DragonCon and Shoreleave. I think the DragonCon sheets are due soon for the Art show. Either way I have to get some stuff done.
I have made a pledge to myself, now let’s see if I can keep it.
Cars 2 was good. It focuses on Mater so if Larry the Cable Guy drives you nuts, not your film I am afraid. Michael Caine does do a splendid Aston Martin. The 3-D is used to good effect but I did get a little motion sick this time around. Caroline loved it.
Peter and I are trying to figure out how we are going to see the movies we want to see this summer since our babysitters are in Connecticut this summer.
I have a new scar on my hand that I can’t figure out where it came from. This puzzles me since I know where most of my permanent scars came from.
Caroline is reading through Scary Godmother. Dark Horse published all the individual black and white issues in one graphic novel. She is more than half way through and loving it. She says after that she is going to go reread Magic Trixie.
It just hit me that most of the X-men First Class soundtrack could be used for a Bond film with no really change. How cool would it be for Fassbender to be the next James Bond and McAvoy plays Q? I honestly could see that.
Thank you everyone for the help with the DragonCon Costume project. Peter gave me the perfect finishing touch for the whole thing that I now have to create out of whole cloth. Working on the mechanics now.
Ah Caroline is up and my coffee is ready. Best take on the day.
I am grateful for my memories.
