New Computer
Woooh. David and I got a 24" iMac yesterday. It was definitely time for a new computer for me and we figured we might as well have an HDTV screen while we're at it for our netflix selections since we don't have cable.
In other news... this weekend my goal is to get the wedding invitations ready for mailing. Also I need to do all of my homework for next week because I have to work all week as usual and won't have time to do it.
A letter to the drunken man on the NJ transit train
To the man sitting one seat over and back from me on the 1:42 train from Penn Station to New Brunswick:
Sir, I am sure you thought it was a good idea to have those last four shots of tequila at the bar before you got on the train. You, and every passenger in the train car quickly discovered your mistake. The first time you vomited down the front of your shirt and onto the floor, I had some sympathy. As you continued to vomit for the next hour without ever attempting to clean yourself up or escape to the lavatory, my sympathy entirely vanished. Are you aware that you filled the car with the odor of alcohol and sour stomach acid? Are you aware that it was so overpowering I spent the majority of the ride breathing through a scarf to keep from gagging? Do you understand that for an entire 45 minutes it took all of my mental energy to keep this thought out of my head: "The fact that I am smelling this man's vomit means that I am inhaling small particles of said vomit."
Frankly, the amount you choose to drink is your business, but if you cannot hold your liquor, you should not get on a packed train where people cannot escape your vile, vomit-covered person.
Sincerely,
Camille J Thompson
New Kitty!
David and I got another kitty Friday afternoon at the Sayreville Pet Adoption Center, the same place we got Morris. Her name is Greta. We were hoping she would be fast friends with Morris, and though it's only been a day, they have a very tense relationship. She started out completely calm and unafraid of Morris, but he has intimidated her with repeated hissing and yrowling until she's very catious when near him. She mostly chills in the bedroom and he peeks around the corner to observe her. I hope they just need a little more time before they'll be friends, and that this won't be a permanent civil war.
