A Mixed Bag

Hi readers.
Ok, I tried to post this from work, however it didn't want to post so I'm doing this from home now. If this doesn't work I'm going to throw a fit. Ok, not really throw a fit but y'know...I know the first line will say I'm at work and even though I'm not, I don't feel like correcting it.
I am sitting here at work doing absolutely nothing at the moment so I figured I'd try to update this thing. Wouldn't you know it? As soon as I write that I'm doing absolutely nothing, the phone rings. I find this highly amusing, then again as most of you know I'm quite easily amused by many things. My boss had to go and work on a radio comercial and so I'm here at the office all by my lonesome. I don't mind too much, and right now it's getting close to the time for one of the shuttles to get back from the airport and then things will get pretty busy with passengers coming and passengers going. When this happens, it will be hard for me to hear myself think, especially today since we have a pretty full shuttle leaving at 12:45. There is only one seat left on that one, good for business. It's spring break for one of the colleges so they are all wanting to get out of town. I can't say I blame them. I wish I were leaving town too. *grins*
So I know i have been posting a lot of Harry Potter links as of late but HP is one of my favorite subjects. This one has more to do with a certain favorite actor of mine this time however. Alan Rickman who most of you know plays Severus Snape in the HP films, yummy...potions master...oh sorry was distracted for a moment there. As I was saying, Alan Rickman is going to be in another film. Yay! The movie is entitled, Gambit. Alan will play a lord in this movie. I can't wait until it comes out! I'm excited! The Potions Mistress will definitely be going to see that when it comes out. If you'd like to read the article, go to this link...and remember, if you wish to follow what's going on with the HP actors and actresses, add @HarryPotterView to your twitters for all of your HP news.

It's been a while since I have posted a recipe so I have decided to post a favorite of mine. It's very easy to make and if you love bananas as much as I do, you will enjoy this one I feel sure.
FROZEN BANANAS
Ingredients:
12 bananas, not too ripe
Directions:
Peel them, insert sticks and then dip in melted chocolate or whatever you prefer, even plain.
Personally, I like to dip them in chocolate or strawberry. When I have made them for others, I dip them in chocolate and then in coconut. I however can't have coconut so I don't eat them when I do that. I have even made them by dipping them in chocolate and then rolling them in chopped peanuts, it all depends on what your tastes are, all in what you like. No matter how you make them, enjoy them, I certainly do.
Wednesday I had to take Ozzy to the vet. He's got a case of the sneezes and weezes. When I was on the phone making his appointment on Tuesday and telling them what his symptoms were, they told me they wanted me to get him in right away in case he had pneumonia. They said if he didn't have it, there was a possibility that it could turn into that. That scared me. I laid awake most of the night on Tuesday night monitoring him. It made for very sleepy potions mistresses the next day for work but it didn't matter. All that mattered to me was that my cat was going to be ok. It turns out that all he has is an upper respiratory infection which he is on antibiotics for. Well..I have a confession to make, he's supposed to be on but do you know how hard it is to get a cat to take its medicine? It's like pulling teeth from an alligator which I have never tried by the way and don't want to ever have to. I'll save that for the pros. I did get some advice on what to do though so hopefully I can get my pretty little feline to take his meds yet.
The other night I did something that was both stupid and cool at the same time, so I guess I could say it was stupidly cool? Ok that was kind of lame I know but...whatever. LOL! I have never claimed normalcy. At Sammy's Clubhouse, IE Sam's Club, they have these speakers there for your computer. The brand? Bose. Now normally they are about $250 for the set, as well as we all know Bose is an expensive brand but well worth the money. Well, Sam's Club had them on sale for $200. I decided that I was going to purchase a set. Well, Vampy, not to be outdone by me decides that he wants to buy a set as well. Not only did he buy a set of his own Bose, but he paid me $100 for my old computer speakers. That night, the biggest purchase at Sammy's Clubhouse was made, Well the biggest one between vampy and myself. The total came to about $430. I will probably never spend that much money there again, unless they have something else cool. Now as to why I said it was stupid? Well we don't need to go there right now. I am perfectly fine with not discussing that. LOL!
To all who hang out on the vampiric world IRC server, I apologize deeply for the downtime. I'm not sure of what all is going on with it. The first time it was down was because the server it is being hosted on got DDOS'd. I am not amused believe me. The most recent time I'm not sure what had it down but it is back up again. Hopefully it will stay up for a long time now. The vampiric radio server should also be back as well. Again, I'm sorry to all my DJs and listeners. I appreciate your patience in this matter.
Well, time for me to fly. My work day is almost done and I have nothing more to say. I'll be back again when I have more to write. Not only that but it got hella crazy so I'd better go. I know one thing, when I get home, I'm raiding the kitchen, I'm starving. This is what happens when one skips lunch. I won't be doing that again I assure you.
