So, I'm working at the drive-up today and this man just drove up in a pickup truck. Along with his depost he included two peppermint candies in the drawer. How sweet!

< channel Bare Naked Ladies> Broke into my own apartment. This is where I wanna live. Fo'got my keys, rolled up my sleeves...and now I'm in again.< /channel Bare Naked Ladies>

That's right. I locked myself out of my house last night...but was able to cat burgle myself back in. I'm going to leave out the specifics because I don't want any of you breaking into my pad, but I can assure you that my moves were akin to those of agent 007.

Once inside Peter and I were able to commence watching "The Cider House Rules". I have wanted to see that movie for a while and I was in the mood for a drama so it was a good match. I did enjoy the movie. Tobey Maguire is pretty durn cute. But I would have to say that compared to the book (by John Irving) I was kinda disappointed. The book was powerful. It was traumatic for me. The characters were well developed and the plot had interesting and surprising twists in it. The movie was simple and transparent. I felt like I never got to know the characters and there were characters (ie. Mary Agnus) who didn't make any sense to me at all.

I understand that the 'adapted from the novel' means that things will be changed. I also know that this is a great movie if you haven't read the novel. Is there anyone out there with an opinion of either the book or the movie? I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Sometimes I just plain forget to blog :)

It's tuesday. I'm in Middleton... there really isn't too much more to report. I watched some of UHF last night and that movie just kills me. I can't believe that I hadn't seen it before this summer! yikes!

Yesterday at the main office in Danvers one of our fish was eaten to death by the other ones. pobrecito!

Maybe I'll post again later if the mood strikes me :)

later gators.
