I was sitting at my computer earlier and felt a pinching sensation behind my right knee. I checked on the situation only to find a tick attached to the area. It came off pretty easily, so I can’t imagine it was attached that long, but I guess I’ll find out. I did walk dogs at the shelter today, so it’s quite possible I picked something up while walking around, but I also did a bit of yardwork earlier, too, so it could have been from that as well. I guess it’s time to get some permethrin spray for my shoes.
the clovehitch killer
This movie was about a kid who discovers that his father might be a serial killer. Overall, I really liked it. The movie really held my attention and was the perfect length. If there is anything negative to be said, it would be the fact that the police weren’t involved with the plot at any point. But, still I thought it worked.
My rating: 4/5
blown
One of the speakers in my car has been blown for what seems like a year (but it’s probably only been a month). I finally got around to ordering a pair of replacement speakers last week and I installed them on Sunday. What a difference! I didn’t buy high end speakers (as I’m hoping to get a new car in the spring, so no sense in spending extra money), but these sound amazing. I think they sound even better than the stock speakers (which shouldn’t be a surprise, I guess, but I always thought that the car’s stereo system sounded pretty good). Anyway, I’m finally able to listen to music again so I celebrated by buying the new Tool album yesterday. I don’t have any opinions on it yet, but I’m just glad to have some new music.
eric tessmer
The Johnstown Area Heritage Association sponsored a free concert last night at Peoples Natural Gas Park. Eric Tessmer was the featured act. I have been a fan for a while, so I wasn’t about to miss it. It was a great show. As a bonus, he was scheduled to play from 8:30pm-10pm so I didn’t have to stay up past my bedtime.
under the skin
I found this book while rearranging books on the bookshelves and I didn’t think I read it before, so I put it in my queue. It was quite an interesting story. I don’t want to give anything away, but it had a cool twist at the beginning. I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending, but at least it wasn’t open-ended.
My rating 4/5
