I have such a dilemma. I want to upload some pictures for you guys, I really do, but the hard drive they’re on is all the way across the room. Oh god… sorry, guys, I guess you miss out… so lazy right now
I’m BACK!!! I had a great time
I ate turkey and mashed potatoes and biscuits. There was some other stuff, too, but I think we’ve finally got it down to making just the stuff that people will eat. I wouldn’t say my palate is diverse, exactly. But I made rolls with faces on them
It took about a minute to roll them out, and then another 5 to painstakingly put eyes and noses on each roll. It upsets everyone and makes me laugh… they hate it… hahahaha
For the first real time, I went Black Friday shopping. I didn’t sleep so by the time 4am rolled around, I was way too mellowed out to even consider rushing around. I couldn’t think of stuff I wanted, either, so I picked up a GPS car navigator thing for a gift and didn’t buy anything else… well, I looked for a new big sippy cup with no luck, and ice skate covers, also with no luck
The bus ride back together forrreevvvveeeerrrrr and some terminals are way worse than others, let me tell you. I was afraid of getting jumped
But I finally made it back, after they pushed back the bus by two hours and then had that bus going all over the place… but it was a guaranteed connection to New York, so I wasn’t stranded in the middle of nowhere. I’m actually quite relieved to be back. As crazy as it sounds, at least when I get hit on here they’re actually friendly about it…
I watched Boston Legal and Heroes and it was thrilling (not really)! Boston Legal just had a gratuitous main cast-only episode without any lawyering at all… unfortunately that means that annoying happy lawyer and Jerry, so.
Greg Beeman, director and producer of Heroes, said in his blog that he didn’t think that the eclipse gave everyone their powers and, implicitly, shouldn’t then take them away. The writers apparently disagreed with him. It’s a pretty retarded arc but I guess they really love hitting that reset button. I can only wonder if Ali Larter’s new character next season could possibly be less interesting?!?!?!
I had my last cam show before the holidays last night
I’ll be back next week! I just know I’m going to be stuck in a bus station all Sunday. Like it’s gonna leave at 1 and I’m sure I won’t get back to my place before midnight
I’m going to be spending this holiday catching up on things… I like working, though… I don’t know what else I’m supposed to be doing. Watch TV?
Ahhhh I’m looking through my pictures and I think I’m getting fat
I need to work out more. My legs look great, but my torso is plumping oh god.
So, tomorrow’s cam show is at 9PM EST for you guys, and I’m cancelling Tuesday and Sunday’s shows for the holidays. Somehow I think traffic will be terrible coming back. SOMEHOW.
I made fried chicken for dinner! With mashed potatoes. Yum yummy
I love me some friiied chicken. Oh god, do you think the fried chicken is making me fat
This is all I can think about at the moment. I actually have some left over and was thinking about eating it, but now I don’t want to anymore… maybe I should get on the exercise bike instead…
I know a guy that moved from here to work in the Czech Republic, teaching English to Czech people. It was late so this conversation occurred… I’m the kind of person that can’t be talked out of something once I get started. I apologize in advance to anyone in the Czech Republic… I’m not this dumb, I was just teasing.
Me: How does it feel to be the only one there that speaks your native language
Me: And in order to converse with them you must force it into their brains
Him: it’s not THAT bad, some people DO actually speak English.. at least in the city centre
Me: I’d just put on My Fair Lady and walk away like I did my job
Me: Did you hear that Circuit City declared bankruptcy
Him: yea
Me: Oh
Me: I didn’t know if you “had” the “news” over there
Him: lol i’m not in the third world
Him: i teach adults
Me: That must be a lot harder
Me: Plus all foreigners already know English, right
Me: I mean, don’t we ship all our tv shows and movies over there, how do foreigners even need to be taught English
Him: probably because all the shows are dubbed into Czech :-p
Me: Whoa that sucks
Me: Don’t they understand that Czech is a terrible language spoken by no one but their own country
Him: economy here is doing ok.. they’re joining the EU, everything’s pretty damn good
Him: until the AMERICAN recession starts to heavily fuck up the rest of the world
Me: Hey hey hey without our tv shows and movies you guys wouldn’t even have entertainment
Me: You guys would be playing jump rope in the rain
Me: Like the fucking AMISH
Him: they have their own tv network, their own shows, their own movies
Me: Yeah right they have like a local news station, don’t lie, it’s like NEWS AT 9 and then 3 hours of Everybody Loves Raymond dubbed into Czech
I wish I had something more to post, but I don’t, really… it’s less than a week from Thanksgiving, so I’m mostly thinking about traveling, and all the cleaning I should be doing before then. It’s like you always clean before you go, as if it should look nice in case someone breaks in. First impressions are important.
So I mostly did nothing today, as some sort of early vacation, or maybe just a nice Saturday where I don’t have much to do for the next week. I baked cookies for my cam show on Thursday, so I was eating those today. They’re actually pretty good
I woke up late, as I sometimes do, but in that way where you really wake up on time and then you spend a few hours drifting in and out of sleep, thinking about how you SHOULD get up but don’t, and continue a haphazard dream world? I did that this morning. It was a nice dream that I have by now forgotten. But it was nice at the time and punctuated by nice sunlight creeping in the windows.
I end most days with a feeling that I’ve forgotten to do something. I feel that I don’t get much accomplished during the day, or that the things I do accomplish aren’t terribly important. I need other people to demand what my progress is so that I can prioritize them, maybe. That tends to occur when the work you do is for other people rather than yourself.
I’m not sure where I intended to move with this entry. I was reminded of an old friend today and started feeling retrospective. I know it’s not very coherent, but I feel a little stuck in the past at the moment. It’s always weird to be there.
Bah… I was watching some ice skating videos and ended up getting one of the songs from them in my head. “To Love You More” by Celine Dion. I’m not a huge fan of her, but THAT SONG somehow always gets in there when I’m reminded of it. So I’ve been listening to some other music to counter it, namely a bunch of pop love songs. Now those are getting in my head… Wonderwall is still a big one… I, of course, refer to the big band/swing cover of Wonderwall
I applied for my passport! The guy there was pretty grumpy, considering he got to take a picture of a pretty girl!! My picture actually turned out pretty well
That’s TWO IDs I’ve done in the past year that look really good. My ID looks sassy, and this one looks naughty. Anyway, I finally got him to smile when I asked him if I could write my check out to “The United States of America”
I thought another memorable moment was when I handed him my birth certificate and he said “This isn’t a birth certificate; it’s a certificate of birth” and I just said “uhhhhhhhh” and then he said he could use it anyway? Reversing the words does not make them two different things!
So that should be coming in the mail
Oh yeah… Heroes the other night… I actually liked it. It’s no Sylinder, but I’ll take it
And I liked Hiro tying people’s shoes together. Arthur kind of looked like he was jerking off at the end there. Oh, and Claire is so obnoxious “I think I’m the catalyst” I mean what kind of self-loving hey-let’s-kill-the-suspense-RIGHT-NOW crap is that? Like, make Ando the fucking catalyst. Stop making Claire important >:O
