Make your own popcorn
Wednesday, April 02, 2008
I watched "p.s. I Love You" last night and you know, it was pretty good. At least 60 times better than I thought, and, if you ignore Hilary Swank's horse teeth it's really such an enjoyable story. I found myself near tears (but I managed to save them, for once!) and grinning like a jackass at all the right parts.
What's with Irish men that make us women go absolutely crazy?
Hey, I'm just saying!
Oh and does anyone else wonder where this week went, or is it just me? I planned on changing my goldfish's water and suddenly it's Thursday and Oscar is probably sucking his own fish crap because of me.

Chocolate Rain Oops Paint
Thursday, November 29, 2007
So last weekend we painted the livingroom! This is what it looks like. I sprained my toe in the process but it's done, it's brown, and.. I love it! We were thinking of painting it light grey, like the kitchen, but felt like that was too cool of a colour for all the sepia we had in there. It needed some punchy Chocolate Rain brown in there.
Tip #1 in how to be like me: try and get lucky with some oops paint at the store. This was a 5 dollar gallon!*
*In case you don't know what "oops paint" is, it is the paint at every store that mixes paint for you, that people have either saw and didn't like or changed their minds or didn't pick up. Because of that the paint is ridiculously marked down in price. Just ask where the oops section is if you don't see it.
This is my living Holiday Tree. I just figured I would get a pic of it before it is no longer living. I will be pretty impressed with myself if I can keep it alive until Christmas gets here! It has sparkles on it by the way.
This is our little movie/computer set-up. That is not where the chairs are supposed to go! When we find a suitable desk chair that I like then maybe I will retake this picture. I have so many movies stocked up for the winter I think I am OK if we get a snowstorm now.
I have been attempting to fight off the flu with that Cold FX stuff, plus some Vitamin C and NeoCitran. I am also drinking nothing but OJ. Usually I do this when I am already helplessly sick beyond repair and sound like a man BUT I am trying something new. Taking care of myself! Haha. If you want to be like me you ignore everything wrong with you just to, you know, "see what happens!"
So tip #3, is buy some Cold FX, or even the generic brand which is basically just caplets of 100% organic Echinacea. I'm feeling not so shitty, this is fantastic!
Superbirthdays
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Last friday was Sean's birthday. He requested we not do anything special, so Brooke just happen to come over and we drank champagne and the only kind of wine that Sean likes in the universe of wine all night, then watched Superbad. Totally hilarious. I also made my Carbonara for dinner except extra 'Sean' cheesy, and let him drink out of my Medieval Times pimp chalice.
What can I say, he's a simple man. So for him it was hopefully the best birthday ever since it was pretty simple! As a note to others: you should always wash your pimp chalice before you put it away for the year. If we left it until March the wine residue would have celebrated it's first birthday.. ahh cut down in the prime of life. The next morning we had some breakfast at Sunset and said he just wanted to spend the rest of the weekend watching movies with me and going for hot chocolate and dessert waffles. Pretty special weekend indeed!
Tomorrow we are celebrating Maria's birthday so I think we are going out somewhere for that. The time in between last weekend and this weekend's birthdays just involved work so nothing exciting there. In general everyone got older, though, so I suppose there's that!
Anyway in actual life, I'm glad to say that as far as work is concerned lately I've decided I enjoy what I do and I feel lucky to do it. I'm not going to write about work or working.. I never have, and mostly because it can get you into trouble apparently but other than that nobody really cares about what people do anymore, myself included! And in my own journal I'm pretty sure I get the biggest vote. I know when someone tries to tell me what they do for work I start thinking about what they would look like with a porno-stashe, or maybe if they got an Olde Tyme photo taken, are they are the kind of person that would be holding the musket or thigh pistol? This leads to my being embarrassed that I don't know what many, but not all, of my friends do for work BUT I simply explain it's not the most interesting thing about you. What I do want to say about what I'm doing is that I had no idea how nice it is to finally get to a point in your life where you are not just trusted with responsibilities, but someone actually says "I trust your judgement". This isn't because I think I have poor judgement, and needed someone to give me a boost of confidence, but because I also realized lately what kind of person I really am. I'm a musket holder. Just kidding.. no anyway, it oddly enough came from an attempted compliment someone was giving me about arrangements I was making for them. I decided to give them a break for a few weeks out of goodwill and all that and this woman said to me that she was so glad and thanked me for being so "accommodating". That didn't really stand out as the positive statement it was intended as. I thought FUCK.. I am accommodating! I'm not very excited about coming to terms with that. You can't fight what is in your nature, and though it has not very much to do with work since I rarely do that in business situations, it's somewhat depressing to have total strangers point out that if there is any kind of person on the planet.. you're the most likely to get taken advantage of! Without recourse. Just plain old, I will probably do something for you if you ask me, about 100% of the time even if I'm pissed. Unfortunately I wasn't born stupid enough to let it pass entirely.. and this, my friends, is why I think perhaps I should have gone into some sort of hotel services work. The only problem would be all the time I would have to put into forming personal relationships with everyone in order to get any sort of satisfaction out of it lol. So yeah, it's pretty nice to be in a working situation where what you say is that way it is and some people really value your time and your judgement and don't consider it your job to accommodate them. It's almost like I'm the boss or something! Haha. I don't think everyone can say that.. so I feel lucky. Personal life I think more people should act like I'm the boss. lol. The end.

"How dare you come in here! This is my masturbatorium!"
Running with Scissors is, by far, my favourite movie.... since I can remember having a favourite movie? Absolutely hilarious. In fact, the main characters mother reminded me so much of my own mother I couldn't tell if it was funny or not... but very entertaining!! Very. Rent it, would you. And thank me.
I also want that soundtrack terribly bad. More than a gay boyfriend or a dead cat.
You just have to see it to know what I'm talking about.
