Each day there is another sign that it's time to sell the condo. Yesterday, it was the dead mouse at my doorstep, courtesy of the local mouser. Normally I am happy to see another one gone but trails of blood are not exactly the signal to potential buyers to come on in! This morning, no mouse but there was guts. I scrubbed up the doorstep again and then crushed in some of the herbal cat repellent into the concrete. Hopefully tomorrow, I won't be greeted by the spoils of the overnight hunt.

Then I realized that I could see into my neighbor's garage this morning via the common wall. The new renters have either been hammering nails into the wall or have found new ways to destroy something just because it exists. Luckily they seem to have packed up for a road trip for hopefully the entire week.

The person who lives in the property next to the condos was spouting nonsense about suing us because the pine tree needles from our trees are about to cause his roof to cave in. That's pretty funny from the person who's fence is falling down on our side of the property.

I'm packed, I'm ready, and I have a nice long trip planned in January which is the ideal time to move. I just need a buyer.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
