Although...A) I'm not drunk and B) I'm not on the phone.
Tonight was fun for the most part. I liked catching up with old friends and uh...well...other people I know.
Me's tired. I is going to bed.

My Other Favorite TV Show
Is Bones which is on the Fox network and stars one of my all time favorite bad boys...Angel! That's right. That sexy man himself David Boreanaz.
It's about this really beautiful, brainy, and witty forensic anthropologist who consults on FBI cases. It's got action, science, fun dialogue, humor, Hot Sexy Man, and fun heroine.
I don't know what else to say about it without gushing except that it's better than CSI or L&O incarnation. And Eliza would SO dig it. Heh, heh, heh.

Major Dork Points Here.
I am such a dork.
And I admit it which is probably really bad. This morning I planned on doing very boring but normal Lisa things: homework, check e-mail, read for class, pay bills. You know, the sorts of things people do while they're preparing to go to work on that crazy day of the week she calls Wednesday.
That did not happen.
In the middle of preparing my moring toast, the History Channel Benjamin Franklin show gave way to First Invasion: The War of 1812. I stopped in my tracks and dropped my butt right back on that couch. That's right. I spent those two glorious hours that should have been catching up on my Death and Dying reading watching reproduction actors, authors, and historians gape mouthed as I hummed Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans" in my head.
So now I have that much more homework to do...but I can definately say that the actors paided to defend New Orleans were one HOT bunch. LOL.

Tristan Prettyman - Twentythree
I first heard of Tristan Prettyman in a newspaper album review and realized that I may or maynot dig her stuff, but it was something to give a listen to.
After giving Twentythree a listen. I can confirm that she's not that bad. I know. Weak praise. But all the tracks are of the laidback/melodic singer/songwriter schtick. There are some fabulous tunes there, but nothing to dance to or sing along with. I used it as background music for my homework reading.
My favorite track was "Shy That Way" her colaboration with Jason Mraz. I could totally see this used on a movie or TV soundtrack, and is the track I'd most likely download. Other contenders would include "The Story" and "Simple As It Should Be" for their lyrical content. I also enjoyed the single "love love love" and the track titled "Breathe" but I'm not sure I'd want to plunk a chunk of change down for it.

Fall Schedule Freak Out
So I have my list of classes that I need to take all figured out (Thanks Graduation Aplication I haven't handed in yet) however, two of my classes that I need to take conflict with each other and I just figured this out this morning (Thanks Online fall schedule). Now I get to do some running between the two departments to get things figured out.
Listen hard for my yip of glee.
It's coming.
I promise.
Forty years from now maybe.

Brain Crash
I've got a gigantic list of things I need to do, should do, should really already have done, would like to do so they're out of the way, don't want to do but have to do, don't have to do but want to do, and things that are so easy to put off that I prolly will put off but really shouldn't because they needed to be done weeks ago.
And this is why my brain hurts.
And this is why my brain hurts.
Just A Bill
Leanne is an awsome friend who hooked a sister up with the "I'm Just A Bill" cilp from Schoolhouse Rock. Go check out my Myspace page. (You can find my profile off of Tosh's Myspace link on her blog.)
Anybody with Windows Experience?
Does anybody have a guess of how to clean up my hard disk? Because when I run it like it should be done, it just sits there with three little bars lit up for hours on end and gets really hot.
Why Do People Lock Laundry Rooms?
Just wondering.
Lumley had to come unlock my laundry room on saturday so I had clothes to wear that night. I was out of pants, bras, and underwear. Does anybody else have these problems or am I the only one who seems to get into this sort of crap?

Saturday Night (Better Late Than Never)
I've been so completely lazy the last few days you're so lucky I've behooved my self to start this writing. On Sunday I turned my computer on to check the TV schedule and then I shut it off. That's how lazy I've been. Oh. And I'm not sick anymore, but I still skipped my two o'clock yesterday so I'm using last week's illness as an excuse. Ha.
Anyhow, Saturday Night was a blast. We has some slammin' Hank and Johnny covers over at the Rox. Then we partied it up over at the Carpet. Ran into Brittany, Kelly, and company. Danced it up. Created a ruckus, then came home only to yap at each other till the wee hours of the morning. I slept through my alarm. Then slept through my breakfast. Then slept through my homework. Then was lazy all day Monday. So for me, today is the first day of the week.

The Human Condition
What is up with the phrase "The Human Condition"? It makes it sound like all of humanity has a disease...Humanism.
I mean, we're all human. Homosapieans. Well, except for Wolverine who's a Homo Superior and Alf who's from outer space. Otherwise, we're all people.
All humans.
The only disease we're really suffering from is boredom, stupidity, and well, SOME people are suffering from disease, and it's all really sad.
But I'm not suffering from a "human condiditon." I mean. If I was say a goat that thought I was J. Timberlake or something. I could see some sort of argument for the "human condition." I mean, I know chicks that think they're pigs, bulls that think they're dogs, a specific dog that think's it's okay to be anorexic/bulimic and then roll in cow shit.
But please people. Lay off on "The Human Condition."
It's a stupid phrase that's going to make me crack homoerectus jokes from now on.

I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else can
Speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find

That Hazel Has All the Goods
I've been a Craig Morgan fan since "Something to Write Home About" so his success with "Redneck yacht Club" just makes me feel so happy for him. But this, this makes me like him all the more:
Don't Start Any Crap With Craig Morgan
In Jacksonville, Fla., Craig Morgan was performing before 12,000 fans when a fight broke out. Trying to calm things down, he informed the offenders, "Hey, I didn't come to Jacksonville to fight."
Things got a little more tense when a second altercation broke out in front of the stage near where two small girls were sitting on the front row. A former Army paratrooper who's as tough as nails, Morgan stepped one foot on the stage and the other on the barricade and grabbed the big troublemaker by the back of his neck. Words were exchanged, but it got quiet after Morgan shouted, "You don't want me to come off this stage!" Security escorted the brawlers from the building, and they're now under a two-year restraining order from the venue.

It Made A Funny
Blogger's spell check response to "Jessica" is "cheesecake."
That's really funny since I was refering to the newly Ms. Simpson.
That's really funny since I was refering to the newly Ms. Simpson.
Out Of The Shadows
I know Ashlee Simpson has gotten a lot of flack about her singing since the infamous SNL incident, but Jessica's edgier sister has a lot of appeal and one wicked set of pipes.
I Am Me is her sophomore effort and you can really see Ashlee's evolution into an artist. Or maybe I just really dig the sing along pop rock feel to songs like "Dancing Alone" and the title cut.
It doesn't really matter that "Boyfriend" could be a clue into the Lindsey Lohan catfight rumors or that "Say Goodbye" might be a direct result to the craziness that was her courtship with the every spiky Ryan Cabrerra. Ashlee uses vivid imagery in her lyrics, catchy fun beats, and pushes her smoky vocals.
While a few of the tracks seem to be the typical party filler them music ("Dancing Alone" "Burnin' Up"), the rest of the album is filled with uncertainty ("Catch Me When I Fall"), loss, self-identity ("I Am Me"), and a bit of idiocy (or guilt. "Coming Back For More") Isn't that how we feel when we know we're doing something that's bad for us?
Perhaps the most annoying track on the album for most people (prolly I Am Me's equivalent to "LaLa") "L.O.V.E" is my favorite, if unexpectedly so, track.

Something Wicked This Way Comes
I don't know what it is about vampire romances that I enjoy. It's either the blood, the heat, the mysticism, or perhaps not matter what I do, all the heros end up looking like Stuart Townsend in Queen of the Damned or Brad Pitt in Interview With a Vampire.
Anyhow I gave Susan Sizemore's Master of Darkness a spin and was thourally pleased. Action, Romance, and I ended up with a major crush on the werewolf support character instead of the hero. How much better does it get than that?
Sides, if I need to Christian can build me a lego gun to protect myself. LOL.

Here's Your Sign
I figured out the problem with my apartment phone. Somebody had turned the handset ringer off.
Come to Girls Night and You'll See What I Mean
Ro-ight (As Anna would say).
Now as Toshia and Erin are telling me that I'm going to be writing lies (well, at least Erin says so) I will only go for the highlights for now.
Like Trever, the PR guy who drives a Saturn, and his friend John who drink. A lot. And make excuses for insidious things (or potentially pervy things) like "accidentally" spilling his drink on Erin.
Toshia unplugged my alarm clock...And she's the one who needs it for her test tomorrow.
I had a talk with Kit the whole way back to the apartment where I accidentally ran Erin into a bush.
Krystle gets loud, physical, and REALLY funny when she's drunk. Her and Erin made fast friends. And popcorn doesn't go with vodka/cran.
Erin not only drooled on me at Perkin's, but also on our French fries and the last cheese stick.
There's also a certain fascination with The Press's bathroom walls.
Me, Tosh, and Krystle are planning on heading up to Burrrmidji next weekend. So I guess until then (or until later today when tonight gets rehashed again and again)...Vive Cuervo!!!

Ah, The Dreams I Dream
Toshia already complained that I have better/funner dreams than she does. Well, riddle me this Batman:
Me and Anna are hang out in the basement of Atwood by vending machines and bathrooms eating cinimini's from Einstine Bros Bagels and getting hit on by a bunch of guys who are throwing hairpins at us. Then we go back to the apartment only to be woken up by the alarm clock at 6:11 in the morning which is playing a music video of Toby Keith that stars Bo Derek and Willie Nelson dancing. Then, Anna detaches her phone from the wall when it starts clucking. This is when my REAL alarmclock goes off playing Josh Turner's "Your Man" (but not the video, just the audio. I'm not that high tech.)

A Little Late to be Cool, But...
Since I just found my little post-it that Tosh left me with my squirrel name, it's Countess Nibbles his Nuts if anyone is interested.
Woo-Woo
My 2:00 class got canceled today!!! However, we're still having the mid-term on Wednesday. which SUCKS!
Oh The Life of a Photog
If you've ever wanted to look up Keith Urban's nose, fall into Julie Robert's cleaveage, check out SHEdaisy's hip bones, Teri Clark's armpit, or Daryl Worley's behind head over to K102's website and click on Artist Photos. There's some interesting things there. A bunch of glossy shots, performance shots, red carpet, award show, and a just plain eclectic bunch in no particular order. Enough to make you crack up.
I Keep A Calling...
I think there's something wrong with my regular phone. I haven't used it for awhile, but Becky keeps claiming that she's been calling it. And today when I checked my messages, the phone cut out like it needed to be charged when in reality, that's all it's been doing for weeks on end.
I Stand Corrected.
The GG episode this week is the one where Rory comes back home. And what a quwinky-dink, Erin is talking about driving down here tomorrow night too!
I Know This Will Piss Anna Off To No End, But She's My Friend So She'll Respect My Opinion
Abortion is a touchy subject. And today I was reading an editorial in the paper that just rubbed me raw.
Do I believe that life begins at conception? Absolutely. Do I believe that that life is realized at conception? No. Sometimes God, that life, or a woman's body realizes that it will not survive, or it is not meant to be and the woman miscarries, which is called spontaneous abortion. And sometimes, that woman, with or maybe without God's input decides that the best thing she can do is abort that life. I do not in any way believe that it is a light or easy decision to make.
I do believe that abortion is a woman's choice. I do NOT believe that an institution has the right to tell me as a woman what I am allowed to do with my body, and any progeny I may eventually provide if they have no qualms about keeping certain groups of people, including women, oppressed in this country. I feel the same way towards abortion as I do towards the Patriot Act. If they are going to take this right to myself and my body away from me now, what rights will be taken away from me next? The right to have a profession? To have Land? To vote? To color my hair? Whom or when I'm allowed to marry?
My next point of contention is simple. I have seen friends and family go through teenage pregnancy. And it's a difficult journey. But lucky for them, they HAD friends and family to trust to help them through it. Some other girls do not have that luck. I would rather they have clean clinics and staff that can council them into good and healthy decisions than resorting to (ever see Dirty Dancing?) a "guy with a dirty knife and a folding table." We need things like comprehensive sex education in schools, decision training for young people, and to be open to discussing problems with our youth, not deciding things for them.
Making abortion illegal isn't going to stop abortion from happening. All it is going to do is put bodies, people, and rights at risk. Abortion is not the problem. It is the results of a deeper problem in our society.
My position is NOT that abortion is wonderful and we should all suscribe to it. I'm not saying the thought of abortion makes me do cartwheels and break out into a song and dance groove. It is something that cannot be stopped by something so ineffectual as a law.

Good News.
I don't have my last class Wednesday night, so having to leave a bit early isn't a problem. I knew this ahead of time, but forgot when we were discussing it.
Reality Check
Geez. There's nothing like making the blog rounds to get you depressed. Wow. Holy Crap. I was just going to blog and complain because of the snow and how I have mid-terms today that I wouldn't mind canceled, but ya'll just wrecked my pitiful whining with that deep and heavy stuff.

Some CMT.com Updates
Dierks's new video for Settle for a Slowdown is up. And he's wet in it.
On the Listening Party page you can check out new albums by some of my favorites and some pretty wicked new comers like Shooter Jennings and Trent Tomlinson (Drunker Than Me).
Plus Pinmonkey (Barbedwire and Roses. Also Chad, who's in Keith's roadband used to be a member) has some 330 session stuff up.

Out of Body Ticket Buying Experience
This morning I was trying to get tickets to see Trent Wilmon on Wednesday for Tosh, Tiffy, and myself. After half an hour of dial, hang up, and redial. I answered the person who answered the phone on autopilot and when I hung up, had no idea what I'd just done.
So this afternoon, I called the station and told a white lie so they'd review my ticket info. I now have three tickets waiting for us Wednesday. But the funny part was the DJ and I were just yakking back and forth. Then he put me on hold while he introduced Joe Nichol's "tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" before talking to me some more. After like five more minutes, he said he'd better hang up or he'd get in trouble.
What a bunch of goofs they've got working there. On Thursday when I called to request that Blake song, Jake told me he loved me. lol.

The Great Shoe Crisis of '06
Yesterday Leanne called me to do lunch on her way through town. I was totally ecstatic because I haven't seen Leo since by birthday and she's like one of my little sisters and a really close friend (okay. That sounds weird. Let's just leave it at she's practically one of the family.). So I had to dress for lunch at Chipotle AND my job interview. This was all fine and dandy until I got to my shoes.
I don't have any closed toed dress shoes that don't have three inch heels and are black. Nope. I had hooker heels to wear to my job interview. So I had to make an emergency trip to Wal-mart to buy new shoes. And God must have been listening to me because I bought my emergency interview shoes for $10. How wicked is that?

Summer Job Fever
I got an interview with the people at Kelley Farm on Friday. I should find out if I got the job next week some time. Wish me luck!
Spring Break @ Some Beach
Thursday was the Blake Shelton concert at GCH. It was a total blast (see I can use other adjectives besides awesome!). Me, Tosh, and Anna met Sandy, Bob, and the boys at the Buffet and gabbed before hand. I also proved that I can carry a baby while dishing up my plate, except when it comes to sour cream.
Blake was amazing. I screamed and sang and seat danced. I really hope my pictures turn out (I should go get those developed while I'm at the grocery store). There was this woman in front of us that kept standing up, dancing, and waving her arms in the air everytime Blake ventured on our side of the stage, so I'm not entirely sure about my pictures. Plus it was me taking them. With MY camera. So who knows.
Me and Anna both got concert shirts, and then on the way home we dialed into to Wild 99 and requested more Blake. We wanted "Playboys of the Southwestern World" (the Hey Romeo! song) but they didn't have it so we got "Ol' Red" instead. Anyhow, I was so hyped up from the concert and stuff that I used the word awesome a little too much for Toshia's taste. She thinks I sounded like an idiot. I'd like to see her do some improv. They told us the song would be on about 9:45 so I was told to drive the speed limit so we'd still be in the car to hear it, but after I had a semi pass me, I was back to speeding again because that's just pathetic.
Blake was amazing. I screamed and sang and seat danced. I really hope my pictures turn out (I should go get those developed while I'm at the grocery store). There was this woman in front of us that kept standing up, dancing, and waving her arms in the air everytime Blake ventured on our side of the stage, so I'm not entirely sure about my pictures. Plus it was me taking them. With MY camera. So who knows.

The Reason It's Called a Greasy Spoon
Yesterday at work, I put this hamburger on because I was making an order for a cheeseburger and fries. When I went to flip the burger over, it flipped over, and then over again off ther hamburger grill and into the grease collector. Since the burger was already half done, I grabbed a fork and plucked it out, then ran some hot water over it to get most of the grease off then plopped it back on the grill to finish cooking.
Now this is funny in itself. It got alot funnier when my Dad told me that before he left, the guy who got the burger came up to the counter and said that his Cheeseburger and fries were "Really Good." LOL.

The Crack-up Sisters
Last night me, Krystle, and Amanda were in the kitchen laughing. I don't remember what set us off, but everybody was hunched over, stomachs hurting, tears flowing, laughing. And there were no hallucinogens, narcotics, opiates, or any other sort of mind altering substance involved. I was drinking water and I think Amanda was eating cheese. Or salsa. Or chips. It's hard to know because she was muching on something different every five seconds. But we must have been laughing about something...
Movies!
I'm going to see The New World with Becky tonight. Yippie skippy! It has to do with me putting all my packing for the weekend off. Because there's so much. At least I know when I'm wondering around the apartment at 2o'clock I'll have plenty of company from the crack-up sisters from last night.
This Morning
It snowed last night. And along with that freaky bit of nature, when I actually got up for work at the buttcrack of dawn, I was wired.
I SANG on the way to work (Where incidentally I saw Anthony, who didn't seem to notice my singing. I wonder if he was too tired?).

My March Hori- I Mean Squawk-a-scope!
The ladies over at Squawk Radio came up with Horiscopes for March. Here's mine:
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20)
Hang on to your youth! Keep him locked in a closet.
...Now just which youth should I choose. I've never been too much into younger guys...except that Steven Strait guy from last weekend in Sky High. Does that mean I get to claim him?

Way To Go Mel.
| You Are a Chick Rocker! |

Well, I've Already Spent My Paycheck.
That's right.
Went to Target with Tosh and picked up Walk the Line, Pride and Prejudice, and Lady and the Tramp along with pizza and apple juice for our slumber party, floss, and razor blades.

A Lesson in Social Psych
The "Who Am I" test was developed by McGuire to determine a person's spontaneous self-concept. Go ahead and number a paper one to twenty and commence writing descriptive sentences beginning with "I am..."
1. I am white.
2. I am the oldest of four girls.
3. I am sorta tall.
4. I am very loud.
5. I am kind of bossy sometimes, but call it leadership.
6. I am really freaked out about graduating next year.
7. I am really sick of living with Hiley.
8. I am out of milk at home.
9. I am not an organized person.
10. I am such a klutz.
11. I am going to NoDak this weekend to see my parents.
12. I am a Minnesotian, not a NoDaker.
13. I am getting paid on Friday.
14. I am out of clean pants.
15. I am really friendly, especially when I'm with others.
16. I am a woman.
17. I am in need of new tennis shoes.
18. I am an Urbanite. (as in Keith Urban)
19. I am sick of winter.
20. I am so gonna be broke after shopping today.
Then you have to code your answers:
A-physical/self-description
B-social self
C-psychological/traits/emotions/attitudes
D-Holistic stuff
The real surprise here, is the use of heuristics. Those are kinda like priming tools. They give you a place to start in your automatic thinking. Almost everything on my list I'd talked to Tosh about just prior to class at lunch. Scary thing that.
