For Paul:

heh, I am sure I don't. The title was different earlier... Now it makes semantic sense
paul - 10/07/11 01:02
You have no idea.
tinypliny - 10/07/11 00:24
LOL, that title now makes sense!

Movies
Flittering about on youtube I started watching clips from some of my older favorite movies. I don't' know what exactly all these movies have in common but I feel like they have something in common that is not available in movies anymore. It was The First Wives Club, Sister Act, Object of My AFfection, and My Best Friend's Wedding. They aren't all like romantic comedies or anything though that is part of what I miss I think but really they are all different but somehow seem similar to me like in some category that is not available anymore and I miss it.

I think they all have that general, "makes you feel good about life and laughter" quality. I agree, the part in my bf wedding where they all start singing at the restaurant and the waiters have the lobster mits on... I think it made me laugh for at least 5 min.

Omg, one of them has that actress who is all teeth in it. I modify the category to "Movies I have never seen, and particularly one with the teethy actress that I think is SO fake!"
tinypliny - 10/01/11 19:03
Looks like they should be in the category, "Movies I have never seen (and have no clue about!)"

Long Weeks Ahead
So at work we are gaining thousands of new members because New York State is getting out of the prescription drug business for Medicaid recipients and insurance companies are taking it over. Anywho this will in theory create a lot more calls so we all can work as much overtime as we want which is nice but I picked up a lot of hours this week and am now not looking forward to it so much. I am working everyday (sunday thru saturday) for a total of like 6osomthing hours. Lets see if I make it!

To Be Honest I have no idea how this works. But in theory though the amount of people covered shouldn't change... If you had the state paying now a company does but what that would change is where they get the drugs?
paul - 10/01/11 18:18
You will be rich. I expect a great birthday gift ;)
tinypliny - 10/01/11 17:58
Does that mean that insurance companies will get the Medicaid money now instead of NYS?

Last Soap Post
So i am done posting videos and soap opera chatter but I seriously loved Bo and Hope on Days of our Lives since I was like 5 (yes I was a soap opera watching kindergardeneer) and have always loved their song TOngith I Celebrate my Love. It has always been on of my favorite songs..... with the exception of my family and (e:mk) , Bo and Hope have probably been in my life the longest....let's watch


paul - 09/16/11 12:15
I also love them although she got too skinny for me at one point.

P.S. I was there in the hospital when you were born but I guess there is a chance mom was watching days in bed first.

Passions
I was flitting through youtube and I forgot how much I loved the soap opera Passions. It was literally the most ridiculous thing ever with living midget dolls, witches, paternity switches, longest drawn out storylines ever, and I"ll never forget like by the third week after the show started tehy already were using tons of flash backs of the previous three weeks. I prolly saw Theresa dump fish guts on Ethan by mistake while stalking him 300 times, (i swear they flashed it back every day). Anywho there was this one scene I always loved and I came across it BUT it has the wrong music. I know for sure the song was It's not going to stop by Aimee Mann originally. I loved that song , because of and especially in this montage. WIth this other song I don't even really like it while with the original song I seriously think about it a lot even now 10 years later. Here it is in its lacklusterness and a clip kinda showing what Passions is all about. I love how they are just sitting in a coffee shop literally seriously discusssing how to save his girlfriend from the gates of hell like that opened up in their neighbors bedroom closet like its nothing that weird. The scar on his head is from the demons in hell he fought the day before.



and the not so favorite anymore montage, picture it with the original song and it was AMAZING!

I watched that show when it came out, it was incredibly strange. I couldn't really figure out what was up with that midget doll thing. Anyway I think he died in real life.
