Kame Apart

I'm sitting here IM-ing with Tosh when a K-mart commercial came on and Darryl Worley's I fell in Love in a K-mart! song/jingle came on. It made me think back on being a kid in CH.

I used to live only a couple of blocks from K-mart and me and my girlie friends used to walk over all the time. I remember going "shopping" and then stopping at Arby's for a pop (I SAID POP! Or, actually I typed it.) and taking the LOOOONG way around so we could use the walking bridge. It's where I bought my first music album ever, and where we stopped to cool off after hiking all the way to Castle Park. Ah, good old days.

Oh, Erin,

I have a suprise for you.

Dishwasher Coup

That's right. I staged a dishwasher coup with the help of Krystle. Between the two of us (and that giant box of dishes I snarked from home) we filled up the dishwasher.

I needed Krystle's help because I forgot to put a stack of cups in, and even though when you open the door the jets stop, I have strange magical powers that probably would have flooded our kitchen. So that was much appreciated.

Anyhowy, because of my sneaky military intelligence, some poor family in rural Africa had water yesterday because I didn't unload the dishwasher until right before bed. Hence the dishwasher Nazi couldn't cycle her dinner dishes through.

Great Gilmore News

The 5th season of Gilmore Girls will be released on December 13th. You can check out the new box design here because the picture is huge.

Well, My Little Sis Started One

That's right. The little sis, affectionately known as Melly, Mel Bell, Melogna, and Cake Eater now has her very own blog, Psychonauts Beware. Check it out and give her crap.

Please Slap Me Upside The Head

So today after my Astronomy lab, one of the guys in my class (and he's a cutie too) held the stairwell door open for me and we chatted all the way to my next class.

Let me rephrase that.

I was preoccupied with how crappy I felt, how much I didn't want to be there, and my paper I had to finish before two that I pretty much answered all the questions he asked me about myself and asked none in return. It hit me when I was doing my biweekly power walk workout just how self-centered I must have sounded. Somebody please shoot me.

*SIGH*

Today sucks for physical exercise. Well, at least my PE class wasn't the highlight today. First it started early this morning when I realized I gave myself a blister on my pinky toe yesterday. It then was compounded by my slight cold and the fact that I forgot a sports bra. It was slightly looking up since I power walked around the track and there was a pretty intense game of shirts vs. skins going on. But that in no way made up for feeling like crap. But it made me smile.

Check It Out

Miranda Lambert's video for her new single Kerosene is up on Yahoo. Give it a looksee. This title track is absolutely rockin' and it's one of my favorites on the album.

Oh I Can Feel It This Morning

Yesterday for PE I power walked for fourty minutes. My glutes and hammies are screaming at me this morning.

Darn It!

I got my pictures developed. There are some lovely shots of Eric grilling and Toshia's birthday, but my poor Keith concert. Like one of the pictures came out half way decent. And if that damn woman hadn't stuck her hands in the way I'd have two. Gah!

I Got It!!!

Today I dragged Krystle along with me to Target to get Keith's new DVD Livin' Right Now.



However, I haven't had a chance to watch it because I have class at five. Oh, well. After class. Totally.

Riddle Me This

I had a dream last night that one of my roommates took all of my dishes out of the kitchen cupboards (I have been given the least amount of kitchen space and seem to be the one asside from dishwasher girl who uses it the most) and was going to throw them away to make room for more of hers.

I Forgot To Broadcast

I got the Hightimes and Hangovers 2 tickets in the mail. That's right those Dierks and Ragweed tickets are staring at me from my bulliten board. Let the countdown begin!

Work Night Highlights

Once again, it is time for the Monday night installment of Lisa's Work Highlights. Let the laughs begin!

-Meow!!! Got to see my resident Argentinean Hottie and RA extraordinare, Martin, play soccer. Not only does he kick a mean black and white ball, he also looks sexy wearing latex gloves cleaning up blood and barf.

-Met Sara, the girl waiting for her pizza from Morristown, who yakked with me while she waited and I homeworked.

-Got to hear the juicy gossip when some redhead had a shrieking fit in the elevator.

-"You're seriously chaining that? What is this? Coach Carter?" Since I haven't seen the movie and have no clue what the guy was referring to, someone PLEASE inform the ignorant!

And saving the best for last:

-I witnessed a gigantic (we're talking Defensive Tackle Mt. McKinnie size here) black dude singing "My Lovely Lady Lumps" in falsetto while doing the Toshia dance. The Black Eyed Peas should SO use that in their My Humps video.

It Ain't Easy Being A State (Movie Review)

While ducking my homework Sunday night, I popped my latest Library rental into the DVD player: Carolina, staring the ever talented Julia Stiles (Ten Things..., The Bourne movies), Shirley MacLaine (only the funniest woman on earth aside from Lucille Ball), Randy Quaid (Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation), and Jennifer Coolidge (aka Stifler's Mom).

Since I don't ever remember hearing about the theater release of this, I'm assuming it didn't hit. Which is probably a good thing since most romantic comedy's don't really fly. Even if it's hyped as being "As funny and charming as Sweet Home Alabama" right on the DVD case.

This one, however, certainly took off for me. Carolina (Stiles) is the oldest of three daughters being raised by their wacky Southern Grandma (MacLaine) in Southern California. Carolina yearns for a family that's a little more normal to fit in with her TV Game Show job, and seems to get her wish when a hunky Brit enters her life, much to the disappointment of her best friend Albert (who looks very familiar. He played Henry Crawford in Mansfield Park.) who has the hots for her. Did I mention Al secretly writes romance novels under a pen name? Which only adds to some very funny lines.

Example:
I'm not asking you to be a normal child, 'cause that's not the Mirabeau way. I'm just asking you to be a little smarter about your crazy side, okay?

The end is a bit predictable (Hello! It's a romance.) But the characters are so richly drawn and wonderfully acted from Randy Quaid's alcoholic father to Jennifer Coolidge's whorish Aunt Marylin to Mika Boorem who's moving up Hollywood ranks by being the lovable, if annoying younger sister (you should recognize her from Blue Crush).

3 of 4 Lightening Bolts. It's definitely being added to my DVD collection.

Getting That Roll On Back

Better late then never I say. I was way mondo lazy last night, hence why I totally spaced on actually blogging after my Fabulous Football team trounced the Saints.

Since I only have minor complaints, I won't even waste energy on them.

Game Ball: The New Orleans Saints for doing their job even though they have a million things on their minds, worries in their hearts, are mentally and emotionally tired, and won't have homefield advantage all season.

Stupid Blogger

It won't let me read comments on Toshia's blog.

If I can't read them, I can't comment.

TOSHIA I CAN"T COMMENT!

I think I'm going to hyperventilate.

Oh, oh..Here it goes....

*THUD*

Insane

I think I am coming unhinged.

Let's see...

I think I'll start with the fact that my student files are inaccessible.

My printer wouldn't work for me this morning before I left for class. I'm sure I'm going to return to six copies of my IM short writing assignment sitting in my printer tray.

I'm behind on my course readings and I have a bazillion IM articles to read and they all seem to be 15 or more pages long.

I managed to rip a chunk of wallpaper off the wall in my closet and if I don't want to pay damages, I'm going to have to figure out how to glue it back up so it looks like it hasn't happened.

My roommate hogs the dishwasher and I actually have two entire boxes of dishes to wash, which would fill the damn thing up...Something she has a problem doing no matter how many plates she eats her dinner off of.

Lisa The Human Jungle Gym

I went to BL this weekend for Tosh's belated birthday party and enjoyed Penny's fab nachos (of which I have extra sitting in my fridge), playing with the new kitten-Leo, and of course my precocious goddaughter, Ainjil.

Since then, I've been crawled all over, covered in sand burrs, head butted in the stomach and mooned by Jaxon, quizzed on my Pokemon knowledge by Jace, fumed at by Erin, and well, I got to see 101 Dalmation's 2 and Addladin Prince of Theives.

I'm now back at school with a headache and missing the rug-rats all ready. Craziness I know.

Night Highlights

I just got back from pulling the late desk shift, and here are tonight's highlights:

-Kelly, the deskworker before me, gave me some licorice.

-I got my first paycheck from this job. All $27 of it. Now it's either groceries or gas. Not both.

-Toshia not only dropped off my keys, but also half a bowl of cold 3-bean and since I had no where to stash the bowl once it was empty, my backpack now smells like Lima, Kidney, Butter and Baked beans with bacon.

-A half naked male wearing low slung jeans made me help pick out his midnight snack. I suggested Peanut Butter M&Ms or Skittles. Skittles win.

-On the way home, a cop got on the bull horn and ordered a bunch of half drunks to pick-up all their litter or go to jail. Prime entertainment that was.
