The Day, January 24, 2011

It's been a pretty boring day today. Not much happening. Shadow noticed a cat in the backyard and in the process of scaring her away I realized that the weather is actually really nice right now. So I opened up the kitchen window and the front door. Left the screen locked of course. Now that the sun is starting to set it's starting to get cold again. I think I'm going to close up. One of these days I need to get myself to the post office so that I can FINALLY send Katers17's present. I'm watching "The Andy Griffith Show" on TVLand because I can't really find anything else on tv. This is one of my favorite episodes. Opie is saving his money so he can buy his girlfriend a present. Andy is upset with him because he won't give any money to the Under Privileged Children's Fund. What no one is asking Opie is what he wants to buy for Charlotte. He's saving his money to get her a coat. She's one of the under privileged children... My phone rang twice today. Once was a notification that Katers had posted on Twitter. The second time was my dad asking me me what was for dinner. He also reminded me that he had to pick up my mom from work since my brother's working the night shift tonight. I found a recipe for Irish Soda Bread today and it sounds really really good. I'd love to try making it but I'm going to need some caraway seeds and some buttermilk. I'll ask my dad about it when he gets home with my mom. I don't think it would be too hard. I'm thinking about having a party sometime this year but I don't really have a real reason to throw one. I want it to be a theme party and make it like a King Arthur period party. Fancy dresses and fancy foods. Old style music. That sort of thing. I need to save some money before I can do anything though. I'm watching a snippet of "Hannah Montana" while changing channels. Jackson's current girlfriend is played by Tammin Sursok who is from South Africa. Me being who I am, I can pick out the fact that she's covering her beautiful accent with an American one just like they did to Claire in "Mean Girls 2" last night and Gregg Sulkin in "Avalon High". Why do they keep doing that to beautiful accents? I appreciated the fact that they didn't make Ashley Lilley do that with her Scottish accent in "Mamma Mia!" I hate it when they make people be other than themselves. I love being me. I understand that it's just acting but I also wish they would let people be a bit more of themselves in movies and shows. I'm wishing I had something to do right now. I suppose I could read some more of my history homework. I have class tomorrow. Art history in the morning and US history in the afternoon. Lots of dates and a lot of time periods to cover. Just found "Pirates of the Carribean" 2 I believe on Syfy channel. So I'll probably be flipping back and forth between that and "Ghost Whisperer" on ion. Well for now I'm going to save whatever else pops into my head for the after dinner-before bed blog. I hope that you have felt loved and safe all day.
