WHAT was I thinking?

What in the name of pop culture was I thinking when I added Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter to my Blockbuster.com queue? It is really as bad-if not worse-than it sounds. The first spoken line is "Where are all my lesbians at?" and it pretty much continues to go to total crap from there.

I only lasted 15 minutes but that was enough to know that the title Jesus Christ A) Fights vampires B) Vampires who are lesbians C) are much much taller than Jesus Christ and D) Jesus realizes that life won't be complete without gauges placed in his ear lobes. What a craptastic mess.

The only thing that sort of made sense to me was when someone was reading a newspaper from Ottowa Canada. I know a grand total of one piece of Ottowa trivia and it's something that, if I were an Ottowian, would not be proud of.... Tom Green, he of one ball, Drew Barrymore marriage, Bum song singing.... Tom Green is from Ottowa. Him plus this mess of vampireness. Wow, they must have some serious civic pride.

TV Show Love...

Ok. New favorite show bar none: Dexter. I am love, love, LOVING Dexter. I have been sick for the past few days and just happened to have the first season waiting for me to watch from Netflix. What a great way to spend sick days at home over a holiday weekend. This show is so enjoyable that I am acutally considering dropping the $20 or so that Showtime would cost me each month. Yay for new (albiet late) discoveries!

I need to read this frequently. Sort of an inspiring list.

101 thoughts on losing 100 pounds — life, simply improved

Poor, poor pitiful me...

I'm a big Easter egg. I have a hard, tough crust but inside I am really soft and easily damaged. It is really hard for me to accept help from people, especially financial help. A few weeks ago, someone offered to purchase something for me. It will cost around a hundred bucks, but it is $100 that I really don't have right now. Tonight, I mentioned going tomorrow to purchase said item and the person denied ever offering to buy it. It's stupid and silly, but I felt humiliated. This was a family member, older and frankly a little scattered. But I was still so hurt and embarrassed to have brought it up and been denied.

I need to toughen and soften all at the same time. I know that my outer side it so hard to get through. I am abrasive and rough and keep people at arm's length so I don't get hurt. Then something small and minor just breaks my heart.

And the worst part? I cried and made mascara run on my favorite white tee. Now the bastard is probably stained too. I hope to GOD that I am PMSing. Tears over little things like this are just not ok.

What a shitty day in self-centered land.

Holy crap

Day off randomness...

My farking head hurts today. I think I played too many games of Bejeweled on the Internet today and gave myself a headache. Ouchy. And what a STUPID waste of time! An entire day off and I blow it playing a stupid computer game. What's wrong with me?

I have to teach class all this week. The audience is unwilling and captive. Think it might be a tough one. Especially if I still have a farking headache.

Finally have finished refinishing my coffee table. Looks pretty good. I ended up painting it a sort of chocolaty color. I'm just waiting for the final coat of schellac to dry before putting the foamy felt pads on the bottom and starting to use it.

It is really REALLY windy today. Lights have been flickering. Sure hope the power stays on. There is no way I will wake up on time for my class otherwise.

I used to LOVE the show Twin Peaks when I was a kid. I'm watching it right now and it is just plain weird. I'm honestly not sure why I loved it so much back then. Guess I was just a plain weird kid too. Of course, all my friends loved it too. May have been a group thing. Kids are highly suggestive.

Stupid Greening...

I'm a little tired of "Green". In a 5-minute web excursion, I learned how to have a Green Baby, a Green Thanksgiving, a Greener car, and a Greener shower. I think fads are great, I enjoy them myself. But this one bothers me some. These people are hawking products for a greener earth, and basically implying that by switching to "Green" that I will be making the world a better place. Is it really better to take my perfectly working low-flow shower head, throw it away, and go out and purchase one that was made with ecologically sound conditions? Isn't a life of low consumption more important that Green purchasing? Will me replacing my cotton sheets with bamboo stuff make the world breathe better? Will it really reduce my environmental footprint more than reducing the amount of products I purchase in non-recycled cartons? If I reuse plastic bags, isn't that better than buying 50 new biodegradable ones? Maybe I'm just a heathen, but I don't get what the media is selling. Consumption is not the way to save the world. We need to better use what we already have.

Pitch Black...

I hate this time of year. 5:20 and pitch dark. I need to move somewhere southern. Daylight savings sucks.

What a great sport

I love that some athletes give back to thier fans. Such a small thing for him, such a big event for the kids. Neat story.
