first of all, if you can name that song, i <3 you.
anyway.
maintaining the posting format from yesterday--that's how i roll, bitches:
-it's taking me forever this week to get my BB posts written. don't know what my problem is. but you should be off reading BitchBuzz right now.
-wait, finish this first!
-i managed to, not once, not twice, but at least three times step over the puked up hairball the cat left me in the middle of the floor. she's been doing that fairly close to often lately. maybe i should get her shaved? is there any way i could possibly traumatize my already skittish cat anymore? advice?
-my mom makes pretty kickass cookies. they're cakey enough for me; however, they are also rather moist. rather too moist. i think she's putting too much sweet potato in them. or not quite enough flour. i'm not sure which.
-i've not watched Heroes from Monday yet. I don't really care. i've not watched Fringe for the past two weeks. I don't really care. i think i'm two episodes behind on True Blood now. I think I'm done with that. I am getting the first two discs of The West Wing from Netflix next. I couldn't be happier about that. Where has all the good TV gone, and why is there none of it left?
-i am fascinated by characters who are completely unsympathetic, yet somehow are sympathetic and also kinda creepily relatable. is it because i'm one of those delusional girls who wants to fix the bad guy (or girl; not that i swing that way, despite the all-girls catholic high school)? good god, i hope not. i think mostly of Dexter here. dude's a fucking serial killer. yet, you sympathize with him. he's the main character of the show. he HAS NO FEELINGS, but you cheer him on. the same can, at least to a certain extent, be said of House. there's those hints that he used to be a human being. but now...he's just House. discuss?
-holy shit, batman. R Lee Ermey is the corpse of House's dead father. rock.
-at this point in my evening, i leave the computer (finally) to go try to finish The Lies of Locke Lamora. This is another one you need to read. i finally figured out why i hesitate to finish it (and I might be repeating myself or someone else); i don't want it to end. and this is despite having Red Seas Under Red Skies waiting to be put into my next pile of books. i continued to sit in front of the fucking thing for at least forty more minutes, then crash. no reading of books that i highly recommend to all and sundry was done.
-decided to join in on the Cannonball Read challenge from Pajiba. 100 books in one year. i look forward to the challenge. i'm a bit behind... need to catch up. look for the "review" of Small Favor, my first read, to be up in a day or two.
-i am so frakking queasy this morning. i nearly gagged when i was brushing my teeth in the shower this morning (yes, i brush my teeth in the shower). partly i guess because my toothpaste is disgusting, but partly due to the queasiness getting the better of me. i keep telling myself i should eat SOMETHING, but i can't quite handle the notion right now.
-of course, i stepped on the scale this morning, and according to it, i've lost nearly five more pounds. so that's nice. i don't know where they went. please don't worry, however. i am still eating, still testing my blood sugar nearly as much as i should be, and still taking my insulin. i'll let you know when i start mainlining 5 Hour Energy shots, or go on a white powder and white milk diet. then you can start worrying. 'kay?
-i don't match today, and I didn't realize it until i was in the car on my way in. i'm wearing a royal blue t-shirt (You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning), with pants that are roughly the same color of my eyes (ie, kinda blue grey. i call them cadet blue, because they seriously remind me of the crayon). just thought i'd point that out.
- I have no idea where this trend came from, or what its point is. but i'm stealing it and making it my own. this week, at least. here's some stuff.
- is drunk emailing as bad as drunk dialing? discuss.
- finished Small Favor last night. am sore tempted to read it again right now. i truly adore Harry Dresden, and there are few fictional characters about whom i can say that. i know i keep saying this, but if you haven't already read them, please do.
- would someone please define "weird" for me? i'm curious as to how others define the term, as i'm pretty sure my own definition is far from the "normal" one.
- i've been having some problems with breakfast lately. i keep waking up kinda queasy as well as hungry, and thus have a hard time eating much. at least i'm eating though, right? however, today the queasiness has carried over quite a bit, as it's eleven and i'm still feeling it. not happy about this. (*update at two: yeah, still a touch queasy. boo.**)
- lots of things bug me. a lot of them are incredibly neurotic, or at least i view them that way. one of which? not emailing me back! ooooh, that bugs me. i've learned to deal with it, because i have a number of friends who are terrible at it. i try not to be one of those passive aggressive bitches who just mutters under her breath, and i have gotten much better about just telling people when these things bug me, but it still bugs me. just answer me, dammit! or at least tell me to fuck off. that works as well. might send me into a tailspin of shame and despair, but at least i'll have fucked off. oh, and if i end up killing myself, i'll be haunting you. just fyi. ;)
- other things that bug me: liars, fake people, the fact that it seems like there's only two people reading this damn blog anymore, and cauliflower.
- i feel. sometimes i feel like i feel far too much. especially lately. it scares me. do other people go through this? because it's both physically and mentally exhausting being me sometimes.
- something else that bugs me? pontificators. if you're going to pronounce your opinions as fact, please try not to do so in my vicinity. it gives me hives. just because you believe something to be true doesn't actually make it true. if you want to have an intelligent and respectful conversation in which you explain why you believe this to be true, and in which i respectfully tell you you're full of shit and to fuck off, then by all means. if you just want to sound intelligent and bulldoze people into accepting your opinions as fact, go away.
- actually, that's not true. i love people who are smarter than me. if they can speak to me as a fellow intelligent human being, all the better. i like to be proved wrong, when it's not being shoved down my throat in the form of ridiculous opinions. i love having discussions with people, about just about anything and everything. it's the ones who cannot let me have my opinion or bear any dissent against their own opinion that bug the fuck out of me.
- some days i regret just about every decision i've ever made. other days i regret none of them. sometimes i can pick just one or two to regret.
- fauxhawks are for tools. (see what I did there?) (but seriously, do you disagree with me?)
- i swear, Campbell Hausfeld has the same three songs as their hold music. one of them is Huey Lewis. *sigh* also, you generally wait at least twenty minutes on hold whenever you call them (or at least, I do). There's only so many times you can hear If This Is It without bleeding from your ears and eyes.
What I am doing:
drinking wine (Reisling) out of a champagne glass/goblet. why? because i am class.
and because mom didn't want me to use the good wine glasses.
what i should be doing:
that would be studying. wine and studying go well together, right?
in other news: YO SD FOUR SISTERS! WANT.
Also, watching Indiana Jones on sci-fi. Love these movies, can't wait for the new one.
Because she's adorable:
my little sphinx-cat.
bought today:
and (not that I should've, but i can never resist when i'm in BN):
Wanted to buy but they didn't have despite online saying they did:
I've been procrastinating on the studying all afternoon, can you tell? i've answered PMs about stuff people are interested in buying from me on the Pinky forum, I've looked at ebay (has anyone ever sold something to someone who asked to buy it away from an auction? I'm a little wary, but not paying fees would be nice), i've looked at dolls and I've gone to buy books. i'm tempted to start cleaning off my desk, and i really NEED to do laundry.
I kinda wish I was a little bit more worried about this final. But i'm really not.
that, and i've never really learned how to actually study. that could be a problem, huh?
oh, and finally. BSG from Friday? what the frakking frak?! they need to seriously answer at least a couple questions before they disappear until early frakking 2009.
so, i'm trying to figure out ways to make a bit of extra cash, as i'm not quite eeking out a living at my current job, though i like it there. and i'm trying to keep from being so desperate once i get certified that i'll take any massage job that rolls along, instead of doing it for the love.
does anyone around have any experience with some of those online jobs things? surveys for money, market research type stuff?
any help or suggestions or warnings would be vasty and greatly appreciated. :)
also, i'll clean your house for pretty cheap.
