Apparently, this whole blogging thing just isn't happening anymore. I had the best intentions to catch up on the backlog of posts and actually blog everyday but ....no. I think it would have been more likely to happen if I wasn't working overnights and therefore didn't sleep my days away. This post is going to go over something more interesting things that I have happened in the last couple of months that I was going to write about but never did.
- I bought a Wii at the end of August which has greatly aided my never getting anything done habit. Colette bought me a second remote and a new game (Wii Play) about a week later. Man, riding cows is amusing.
- At the beginning of September, Colette and I went to an exhibit at the National Gallery on the Art of Papal Rome. I ended up winning a book on the art that was in the exhibit which was pretty cool.
- The Guild Season 3 started. Yay!
- True Blood Season 2 ended. Sadly, it won't be back on for another year.
- Neil Patrick Harris hosted the Emmys ---which led to Dr Horrible's interruption of the broadcast
- I went to Best Buy one night to look for some TV DVDs. I ended up buying Season 5 of the Office and Season Two of the Big Bang Theory. I also bought the DVDs for the Young Riders (a show from 20 years ago) because they were only $7.99. I thought that was pretty awesome.
- I found a book in a new series by one the authors (JR Ward) I like. It's related to the other series that I like by her but only tangentially.
- I found a new AJ Jacobs book that is quite amusing called the Guinea Pig Experiment. He does a bunch experiments with his life like Outsourcing his life to India (including reading his son a story and arguing with his wife), being completely honest with everyone and catering to his wife's every whim. He wrote two other books that I really enjoyed "The Know it all" (He read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica) and "A Year of Living Biblically" (Taking the Bible as literally as possible).
- I started watching "Glee". Hilarious! Dark humour abounds. Plus cool musical numbers.
- I also recently started watching "The Vampire Diaries". I actually started watching at episode six so I had to go back and catch up from the beginning. Yet another reason my sister thinks I am obsessed with vampires. I enjoy the fact that there is an actual evil vampire that kills people and that that vampire mocks "Twilight" in one of the episodes.
- Jim and Pam got married!
- I went to a bellydance show on October 9th. It was really good. Rachel Brice and Rosanna McGuire were guest performers. On the 10th, I participated in the workshop by Rachel Brice on finger cymbals (I ended up forgetting mine at home, but I was able to borrow some). On the 11th, I took part in a workshop by Rosanna where I learned some of the flapper stuff she does (like the Charleston). It was a great weekend.
- On the 10th, Colette and I went on the Haunted Walk of Ottawa. It was okay but I was disappointed that we didn't go in any of the places that were discuss on the walk.
- Girl Guide Cookies are being sold. To be specific, the minty ones which I love. Colette has a couple cases of the ones she is selling for Sparks in the front hall. I think I have eaten about 4 of the boxes almost completely on my own. It's terrible (but sooo good!).
- I've started getting allergy shots. I go once a week to get a shot in each arm. Hopefully it will help cure me of the allergies.
- In other news, I went to the dermatologist and got a cream that is actually helping to get rid of the excema (in the sense the I am scratching less and less and my arms no longer look icky). He also diagnosed me with "Atopic Dermatitis". I don't know if I had ever known the name for it before.
I am sure other stuff happened but at the moment it is not coming to me. Another reason why, I haven't been updating as much as I should have been. It's been so long that I don't know what's happened. I want to say that I'll be better about updating, but we all know how that turned out last time.
