2 days off and nowhere to go...

yawns* It's amazing how tiring it is doing NOTHING!! :)

Actually, I accomplished a whole bunch on my 2 days of freedom before another 7 day stretch at work (this one afternoons...blech.), but something about not getting any friend time in and never getting around to washing my kitchen floor makes me feel like nothing was done. (However, when I couldn't contact anyone tonight to do something I DID clean my room.. woo hoo!)

This was supposed to be my and (e:theecarey) 's mini-NYC vacation jaunt, but with her new job she just couldn't take the time off. We will eventually make it up there. Probably either around her b-day (Sept 17th) or around mine (October 13th). I seriously can't wait. I haven't been there in FOREVER. (the pictures I took on the last one had the WTC in them...and that was several years before they were taken from us....LONG time!!)

My other great, big accomplishment was getting through the first 3 disks of Nip/Tuck Season 3. :D I love that show. I'm glad I didn't get into it until it went to DVD (much like Sex and the City), because I would hate to have to wait for episodes. Season 4 is starting on Sept 5th. I'm sure I will be DVR-ing it because I can never seem to make it to the TV for the same show every week. :)

After this weekend (working afternoons straight through) I have the following Friday and Saturday off, then the following 2 weekends I'm off on Saturday and Sunday. Someone do something fun and invite me, dammit! lol Hey (e:redletterweek) , maybe we can actually make it out for coffee at some point then!!! Swing shift sucks. :

Take care, (e:strip)pers!

Oldies but goodies

Anyone remember the show 3-2-1 contact? While browsing Netflix tonight I came across "The Electric Company" on DVD. I started thinking of old shows I used to watch and I couldn't remember what show "The Bloodhound Gang" was on, (Not the band--it was a recurring part of the show w/ kids who were detectives) so I looked it up. :)

Here's a blast from the past (Real Audio clips):

^^3-2-1 Contact Theme

Enjoy!!!

Random pictures...

I was going through my digital camera today and found random pictures from the past few weeks.

My giant pot-o-stuff on my deck. This is one of the few things I coaxed into growing over the summer. Yay Miracle Grow! :)

Stella and Mr. Orange- the 2 new kitties that I adopted.

A pic of my and my daughter's ratties. The huge one is mine--his name is Ash. (I adopted him last year and he was severely malnourished. Look at him now!) and my daughter's rats Sniffy and Boo.

My daughter Hailey was apparently having fun with my camera. :)

My boyfriend and I went to see The Format @ The Bufflalo Icon a few weeks back. This is the lead singer as he walked past us while we were outside. :) (crappy picture, I know. Damn camera phone!)

It's time for bed. I have the next 2 days off and I intend to enjoy them!!

Lesson learned.

I will simply have to be more careful as to what I post in public forums. :)

Got to love being made to feel like you're in high school when you are supposed to be dealing w/ adults. :)

Graduation and Retardation

Attended (e:theecarey) 's graduation ceremony today. It made me a bit sniffly.

I am so very proud of my longest and bestest friend!!! :)

I took pictures of it with her camera (which hates me), going so far as to scoot up to the stage when she walked across it. She'll probably want to kill me once she checks them out though, as apparently no one has ever told me I am retarded. (but I still choose to believe the little bastard camera has a vendetta against me.)

Anyway, I just got home from zee work and I am zee tired, so sleep well, (e:strip)pers! :)

P.S. Check out this link:

It's a Russian site- just type your name in and push the button!

Simply disgusting.

Check out this link

This woman and the other 100 members in her "church" (which is called the Westboro Baptist Church, but thankfully is not linked to any legitimate churches and 80% of which she admits are her family members) decided that it was a good idea to protest outside of the funerals of American soldiers with signs reading "Thank God for Dead Soldiers", "Don't Worship the Dead", "God Hates You", etc...

Their website for their "church" is named God Hates Fags

So much for "Love thy neighbor", eh?

I aboslutely love her logic. Gays in America=God Hates Us=9/11=Iraq War=Dead Soldiers.

But apparently the moronic tendacies do not end with her. Her father organized a protest outside of the Holocaust Museum at some point.

shudders*

Gotta love these frigging whack job cultists who spew bullshit in the name of religion.

Viva la' Canadians!

I've got a thing for Matthew Good. I have for a long, long time.
I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because he's an awesome singer, maybe it's because he's a nerdy boy, maybe it's simply b/c I find Canadians hot.

Anyway, he made a stop in Buffalo last October for his first tour in 3 years. I surprised my boyfriend w/ tickets the day of the concert (b/c, oddly enough, Matt Good is his favorite artist) and the show was amazing.

Over the weekend, during our Spot chat, (e:theecarey) and I started talking about Matthew Good. I played a few songs for her on my iPod, but she didn't recognise them @ all.

As per usual, my chats w/ (e:theecarey) end up being precursors of things to come. (it happens often w/ us, but is still weird when it happens)

This morning,while en route to the dentist after my fabulous midnight shift, my boy called me and asked one question....

"Guess who's coming back to Club Infinity?"

After the dentist I made a beeline to Tops and purchased tickets to Matthew Good's ONLY AMERICAN DATE on his solo acoustic tour. :D

I am way too easily amused. :)

...On the road again...

Moving has got to be the worst thing in the world. Uprooting everything in your house, our belongings in boxes, then trying to sort through the mess to find a place for everything under a new roof.

I, however, lucked out in this aspect...my things have been in storage for almost a year and a half. Going through my boxes while preparing to move was like having Christmas all over again. So many things I forgot I had...So much crap my ex-husband never picked up that went right in the trash.

But now I move onto the super fun part...cleaning, painting, coordinating when the utility people come to the house/vs my swing-shift scedule, hoping that my LR furniture fits!! ARGH!

BUT....the benefits of getting the hell out of my house far outweigh all these issues. I guess I can sacrifice my 4-day weekend for the sake of independence. :D
