Sad, Sad News...

I just found this article, ...'Bigfoot' dies. That's kind of sad. One of the most famous 'urban legends' is over. I know, I know, there will always be people who will 'see' bigfoot, but the admission of the deception kind of kills the whole thing. *sigh* What next? Someone is going to tell me that Santa is just a fat guy in a cheap costume? ;o)

The smallest gift is enough if you have a big heart.
French quote

I thought that was a nice sentiment considering the season of 'giving' we are in.

Well, gotta go get ready for work!

Depends...

A - maybe your "so excited that you almost wet yourself.", but then you sneeze or cough... hehehehe... slap me... I know I deserve it.

Ahhhh... adult diapers... now there's some stock that's not going down. With the population of senior citizens growing so quickly, the market has really opened up for such things... adult diapers, denture cleaner, denture adhesive, geretol, artheritis medicine, Grecian Formula for men, cardigans and wooly socks, early dinners at Lubby's, Old Spice, orthopedic shoes, timeshare condos, cookies... Damn I wish I had stock in some of these things...

I'm not bashing seniors.. I love grandparents... I wish I had more of them (I only have a grandmother whos a bit on the bitchy side and another one whos senile). I'd love to have a grandpa. A funny grandpa who told funny stories and gave me cookies when my parents said I couldn't have any. *sigh*... oh... wait.. I'm 31.. I can eat cookies if I want... hmmmm.. I still wish I had a grandpa...

hmmmm.. it's late.. I should be in bed... why am I still up? I have to work tomorrow! Crazy me.

All I Want For Christmas....

Ya know, I can't think of a damn thing to ask for.

Why is this popping up?

I continue to get hits from people searching for body art. The most recent is today someone looking for 'The Praying Hands' body art (I'm not going to use the 'T' word again... maybe my site will stop showing up under searches for them). I don't really mind extra readers, it's just kind of a bizarre way to find this site. Welcome to the person from Fort Hayes - Kansas is a nice place to visit. feel free to comment or what ever. ;o)

My Prickly Flower

That thisle that I picked earlier this week, continues to bloom - it's quite pretty now and has a lovely scent. I guess the warmth of my home is making it bloom... Not surprising.. I'd prefer to be in 70 degree weather as opposed to 40 degree weather.. it's unseasonably cold here recently. Anyway - I'm so taken by what this flower is doing that I've been taking pictures of it. I took some on Wednesday night and some just a few minutes ago. Look at how it's changed in just a day.

here are a couple of pictures from yesterday:


and here are a couple from tonight:


I must seem like such a dork because I'm so facinated by this.

Wooohoo! My day is going GREAT!

Wow my meeting went so great.

Here's the 3XThursday 12/05/2k2 The Future is NOW by Jake ;o)

1. What former science fiction prediction that you were promised actually came true that you are happy about?
The internet.

2. Now the flip side.. What science fiction former prediction came true and you think the world is not a better place because of it?
Cell phones... sheesh... I can't stand people who drive and chat on the phone...

3.What are some scifi predictions that you are sure is going to happen within the next five years for better or worse?
Hmmm... I think that there will be cybornetic enhancements for paralized people. It's in the works now. And I would not be surprised if there will be something to give sight to thoes who are blind. And a better implant for hearing impaired people... the cholear is available now and works for many people but not for everyone, I think that the technology will be improved to make it work for everyone.

Bonus Question for comments: What is better Star Wars or Star Trek.
Hands down Star Trek

Shit! Where has this morning gone?

Damn, I meant to post some stuff this morning, but I got busy, got lazy and now I'm out of time. *sigh* I have some cool pictures to post. Of my Thisle - it's changing since I plucked it. It looks cool. And it's changed even more this since last night when I took some pictures of it. I will take another picture of it tonight (I like how it looks in the pictures with the black behind them).

I hung out with D yesterday after my normal obligations and she gave me an early Christmas Present, I will have to take a picture of it.. it's soooo pretty, a leopard print wrap and a faux fur collar to go with it.. looks so pretty... and I'm a total sucker for animal print stuff.

Anyway.. just finished blow drying my hair and I'm off (yeah my hair looks lovely today. *snicker* ). Gotta deposit my check (hubby is irriated that I haven't already) and meet him for our meeting, then have to find another JOB! ;o) Wish me luck!

Uggh... so tired... been a busy ass day... will update this blog tomorrow... more pictures... more suff... more of me... ;o)

on a funny note... got YET ANOTHER hit from someone looking for tatoo stuff. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Titanic Sucks

I'm wasting my precious time this morning just jacking around on the computer. I'm going to be out most of the day (boo-hoo) and I guess I'm trying to get my internet fix before I go. Anyway, I go check my sitemeter this morning out of boredome or curiosity or whatever... and I see a google turned up my site for i hate titanic! That struck me as extremely funny... I just had to share.

Ahhhh Search Engines are Amuseing....

Recently I have been seeing people getting to my site by searching for things to do with TATOOs. *snicker* I must have written some crap about having a tatoo or getting a tatoo (no I don't have one) or someone with a bizarre tatoo.... now I'm getting lots of hits from people searching for info on tatoos...

These are the most recent ones that have turned up my site:
christian tatoo catalogs
tatoos of wings
frog stuff tatoos

Damn... that makes me laugh...

THEY FINALLY HAD IT!!!

We took a short trip to the library tonight, my books were due tomorrow as well as the DVDs I borrowed, which can not be returned in an outside book drop so we went into the library to return the books... and check out some more... well me check out more... I finally got Desperation! YAY! I had to ask the librarian where it was since I didn't see it on the shelf but it was listed as being checked in. She said it was a Large Type book so it was in a special section... ahhhhh... no wonder I couldn't find it. But I have it now.. in LARGE TYPE at that. LOL.

I also checked out a few more DVDs and a handful of children's books. I have decided I will paint the little mermaid on the top of the stool. That has always been my very favorite story. I got the books to give myself some perspective on what to put in the picture.... I used to do a lot of sea scapes and mermaids so I'm not really worried about that, I just want it to look original and fresh... and kind of romantic in a fairytale way.

MOVIE REVIEW

So there wasn't to much there at the rental place to rent, but we still found something to waste a little time with. Last night we watched "The Importance Of Being Earnest"... I didn't want to see it so much as hubby did (he was in the play in high school or college or something like that). It was one of the new releases so it cost more to rent, I threatened hubby that if it sucked I would be pissed at him for wasting the money (besides he nixed my choice right away... bastard). Well it turned out to have one of my absolute favorite acctresses in it, Dame Judy Denche and she played a fabulous character as usual. All in all the movie wasn't a total waste, but it was incredibly sappy. Not my taste in movies. It had some laughable parts.

Tonight it will be Castaway with Tom Hanks or Dogs and Cats with... er... some animals... (like I said, not much to rent...)

Beautiful Weed.... er... Flower...

I picked this last night on the way back from a walk to rent some DVDs. It was so striking I had to get it. It's a thisle and it has thorns on it's stem, the petals of the flower are hard and sharp... but... it's still really beautiful.

I GOT IT!!!!!

Finally... It only took me having to get the most obvious of clues... but I got it. The PAINTING is - The Battle of Alexander by Albrect Altdorfer!!! I have to say L - that was tough. And the picture you have on your site is far better than any others I've seen on line. Bravo... you stumped us all for quite a while.

Ahhhh now I will do the MONDAY MISSION Thanks to PromoGuy

1. Suppose God (or your deity of choice) grants you one miracle. Consider the world in which we live. Consider your life and family. What would you request for this miracle? Are you sure that is the best way to use it? You only get one.
Hmmm... probably a cure for all diseases...

2. I believe that prayers do get answered, but I realize not everyone agrees. Have you ever had an experience where you truly believe your prayer was answered? If you don't believe in such things, how come? What is your philosophy on prayer?
Hmmm... I have, I do believe and I do pray... not going to elaborate... religious discussions can get uglier than a political race in Texas.

3. Have you ever lost a pet? That is, have you ever had a pet get loose, run away or be stolen? Did you get it back? How did the loss impact your life?
Oh gosh yes... I've lost many many pets... *sniff* My first cat Smoky darted out of the car when we were moving across state, my next pet was a puppy who got parvo and died, another cat named Smoky (I like gray cats) but my idiot uncle made us keep the kittens outside and someone took him.. never got him back and I was heart broken, then a cat named Gremlin (he was soooo cute) he got killed by some animal, then a cat named Groucho - had to let my grandmother keep him since we couldn't have a cat... she made him insane and he eventually ran his crazy ass away, a parrot Chester the Molester - he was far to mean to keep... bit everyone except me... sold him for $50, and finally the greatest cat/demon to ever live... my dearest companion Sinnamon, the powerful, evil and slightly fat and lazy orange tabby who was struck down in her 8th year by a horrible vet accident (they killed her... the bastards) - I was heart broken for a long time... then the current cats - Sunshine (my cat) and Dusty (hubby's)... we had to shuffle them off to a friends for a couple months when we moved, but they are home again and going no where. In the span of the current cats, we've had Ghengis the bunny, he died suddenly after our apartment was sprayed... *sniff* he was a good bun-bun... then Sven the huge (he was just over 20 lbs), he died.... delicate digestive system... *sigh* And of course my other dog... Foxy... I took her to the pound when we moved... and I have a little bit of guilt for that... not for getting rid of her, I didn't like her much, but for taking her to the pound... and for what probably happened to her *cringe* ... and... Spike the killer gold fish.. have him now...
That's it, that's all of my pets... aren't you sorry you asked! hehehehe...

4. Getting together with family at the holidays is great, I just love it. Most of all I love the food. What is your favorite holiday food?
Hmmmm... I really don't like much holiday food.. I'm so damn'd picky... I don't like turkey that much, stuffing is gross, the green bean casserole is vile, ham is not my favorite, pumpkin pie is not that great.. not bad but I don't really like pie much, I don't much like sweetened yams, cranberry sauce (from the can) is just disgusting (I like fresh cranberry relish that I make)... so I guess I really like the dinner rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy...

5. One thing I've noticed about the holidays is that no one makes Pumpkin Pie like my Grandmother. She has totally spoiled me on her recipe, I just don't like the taste of anyone else's Pumpkin Pie. Are there are dishes or desserts that someone in your family fixes better than anyone else?
hmmm.. considering my comment above... um... no. I cook better than most of my family. I don't trust most of them to cook something that I really want to eat. My aunt is a great cook though... she makes these nummy lemon squares... haven't had them in years though...

6. Do you have any siblings with children? How does it make you feel to be an Aunt or an Uncle? If not, would you like to be have nieces and nephews? Would you make a good relative to them?yup. My oldest sister has 9 kids, I only know 2 of them, my older sister has a 17 year old son who I love very much, my brother has no kids, my youngest half/sister has 3 kids... my brother in law and sister in law has a son who turns 3 the end of this month, he adores me and I love him dearly. I'm a good relative to all of my neices and nephews (that I know that is...)

7. I am putting together a CD of great holiday music. Do you have any suggestions of what songs (title/artist) I should include?
Aaron Nevil has some wonderful holiday music.

BONUS: How would you feel knowin' prejudice was obsolete and all mankind danced to the same beat?
Wooohoo! let's all head to the clubs and dance together!

Today's Comment Question: Did you see Titanic? Did Rose die at the end or was she just sleeping? I say she was just asleep and dreaming.
Dear God - she's dead. Just like I was wishing to be through out most of that horrible movie. I hate Titanic, she's dead, they are all dead, those who nominated it for awards are brain dead... hell if I ever plan to commit suicide I'll rent that awful movie and watch it over and over... that will surely kill me.

Strange Things Cats Do

Recently I've seen my cats do something that's just odd. They've been squeezing themselves under my couch. They have never ever done this in the past. I know, I know, your saying "Cats like to get under things, why is this so interesting?" Well it's that my couch is pretty low to the ground... 3 inches between the floor and the couch bottom...


And the cat, though small still seems to large to be getting under the couch...


That's cool that cats can do that... although it's just creepy to have a cat hiding under the couch...

MONDAY! MONDAY! MONDAY!

Allright... it's Monday... after Thanksgiving... where the hell is everyone? I don't have anything to read... come on people!!! Work with me! I've written lots of stuff for you... allright fine... most of it is just boreing crap... but hey! Give me something to work with! Jake, I know your back, I hope you had a lovely time with the family... can't wait to hear from you... A - I saw your tiny little update... How was that turkey? (and I'm not talking about anyone in your family...) L - If your talking about an upcoming BIRTHDAY you want ignored by your family... that doesn't include me since I'm not family... I find it hard to resist birthdays... Ahhhh... any excuse for a party. And about that damn'd painting... I can NOT figure out who painted it. I'm such a intelectual incompetent in these areas... I need more clues! I was going to look at the previous clues you gave but you don't have links to your archives anymore. *sigh* I need all the help I can get.

My grandmother had her biopsy this morning, things turned out well. The Dr. says it's just calcification and just merits being monitored, nothing more. That's good news... hopeing that this day will be full of GOOD news.

MOVIE REVIEW
Hannibal... the sequel that is frightening to think about... (the fact that it was ever made!!!)

I sat on my couch in absolute fear through most of this movie... for two reasons... the first was fear that the plot would NEVER get going and the second was the fear that this movie would NEVER END...This movie sucked. There is no nice way to put it. Why a sequel was ever made is beyond me. If Anthony Hopkins can get a job after this dog of a movie, it will truly be a miracle (I mean a job that isn't as spokes person for seniors insurance, adult diapers or denture cream... those don't count... after all, when was the last time you saw June Allison in a movie?). I could not belive how stupid and pointless this movie was... and how fucking unbelievable it was either. Though Julianne Moore is a good acctress, I didn't think she was a convincing Agent Starling, Anthony Hopkins was good as Hannibal (of course), but the character seemed pointless and searching for purpose through out most of the movie. Ray Lolitta should kick the shit out of his agent for talking him into doing this movie. And the 'other' bad guy... What the Fuck? That made no sense. Actually the whole movie didn't make sense and seemed to flounder around for most of the time trying to make some sort of connection from one event to the next. The entire tension and drama from the first movie was completly lost in this sequel. The Hannibal character was laughable by the end of the movie. Not the nightmarishly frightening character from the first movie. That was disapointing. Silence of The Lambs is one of my favorite movies. I guess I should have been clued in that it would suck horribly since Jodi Foster wouldn't do it (sequels that replace a main character usually suck pretty bad...). Now I'm angry... angry that I wasted 2 hours of my life watching that shit! :oP

Woohoo! Big Day For My Car!

Yesterday morning my car turned 100000 miles! (not bad for a 10 year old car) I meant to take a picture of the odometer as it turned but I forgot to bring my camera that morning, and forgot about the car turning 100000 miles until I was halfway to work and we were already at 100004 by then. *sigh*

And today, I did something else for my car, I broke the mirror in the visor. Damn. I had the visor down to block the sun, and rolled down the window to get my parking ticket at work, then rolled up the window... on the visor. Doh! I am the Queen of the Dorks...

Let Them Eat Cake...

A funny thing happend tonight... I'm going to tell the whole story, so if you just want the funny part, skip right to the end of this paragraph. Hubby got a call from an old friend we haven't heard from in months and months and months. He goes to pick him up at 6 PM so we can all have dinner together then watch a movie or play a game or something. I'm excited. About 7 PM I get a call from SAMS, it's my hubby, he got a flat (I've been telling him to watch that back tire) and he needs me to bring his daytimer to him because the SAMS card is in there. So I put on some pants and rush off to meet hubby. I get to SAMS and they are waiting out front. We go in and he talks to the automotive center, I go off to procure dinner with our friend. We get a big pizza, some cokes and a sinful looking chocolate bunt cake. The car is ready pretty quick and we get the food. All the food get's loaded into my trunk. When I get to the townhouse I open the trunk to see the cake on it's side. YIKES! I pick it up and it looks fine - I think "Whew! At least it's not all broke apart!" and get the pizza and two bottles of coke. I get to the door and unlock it, start in the door, bump the pizza box on the door frame, knock the cake off the pizza box and it smacks upside down on the floor! I flip it over and... amazingly it's still whole! HAHAHAHAHA! It was a good cake though.

Ok... that wasn't as funny in writing as it was to actually see... oh well.. I'm a dork.
