Slumdog's Night

There are no slight transitions in life - we are thrust either willingly or unwillingly into the next segment of what we are doing, all the time.

I received another 'thrust' this weekend, when the hospital informed me, they were cutting all hours from part-time employees, guaranteeing me no hours on the next schedule.

Now, I haven't depended on this job, like some, but it has been a job that has kept me close to home because of the good pay and people I have befriended in close to 5 years at Reid.

I am not mad or upset, but rather now more inclined to step forward into the next step of my ascension to the head of a multi-million dollar enterprise. (We'll see)

Anyhow, I'm ready to move on, none the less, and enter the next chapter, the problem is, I haven't decided what THAT is.

What I'm Reading 2.23

The Academy Awards were last night and Slumdog Millionaire took home top honors for Picture and Director, as well as 5 more Oscars, Sunday night. I enjoyed many of the movies this year and saw all of the best picture nominees, I feel Slumdog was the best.

There are some really incredible stories about the actors/actresses surrounding the rags to riches story, for some of the kids in the movie, they were flown to Hollywood to partake in the awards and then it will be back to the slums in the next couple days.

Atlantis may have been discovered, by Google.

More on Slumdog, it seems the entire country of India is celebrating 'Slumdog's' success.

Speaking of movies, here are some early predictions for the 2010 Oscars, which will be here before you know it. If nothing else, if gives you some movies to keep an eye on this year.

The Rugby 6 nations tournament is in full swing again, and Wales have started off to the tune of a 2 - 0 start.

Marvin Harrison, Colts WR, may ask for a release.

Spring Training is in full swing, and the first ST game is Wednesday. Summer is just around the corner.

And last, but certainly, not least Girl Scout cookie sales are down this year, officials are blaming the economic downturn.

200th Post

For my 200th post on this blog I thought I'd do something along the lines of 200's.

So here it goes:

In honor of Black History month, just around the corner, here is a link to 200 notable African Americans that have been fundamental to U.S. and world history.

A description of the world in the year 200 AD.

CC is the roman numeral for 200 and the no. 200 apears in the Padovan Sequence - thank you geometry class.

There is a 200 Euro note, as well as a 200 note in Brazil, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, and China, among others.

For Nascar fanatics, 200 is the number of races Richard Petty won in his career, according to Wikipedia, of course.

In Monopoly, and while speaking of money, 200 is the traditional amount a player gets for passing go. But you knew that.

A cholesterol level of 200 or below is thought to be a healthy sign.

The Rover 200, made by The Rover Group and MG Rover, is a popular car in Europe.

And for the fun of it, here are 200 impressions by someone I don't know. They are really good.



(And, oh, the picture at the top is what came up when I did a Google search for '200')
