Little Boxes

You don't have to tell me I have a problem. I love this song.

LITTLE BOXES by Malvina Reynolds

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All go to the university,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf-course,
And drink their Martini dry,
And they all have pretty children,
And the children go to school.
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
And they all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.

And the boys go into business,
And marry, and raise a family,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

Survey Stuff part 3

I don't want to be the only one sharing. Don't forget to leave your answers in comments.

1. What color are your eyes?

dark brown

2. How tall are you?

5'6"

3. Do you like your parents?

Who's parents? Pora's parents.

4. Do you secretly like someone?

Well if I told that it wouldn't be a secret. Just ask me I'll tell you but be specific in the question.

5. Why did your last relationship end?

he was stupid

So I went nite golfing

My first time golfing, I decide to do it in the dark. (a weird first time you have sex analogy popped in my head, but nevermind that). SO I must say I might consider golfing during the day as long as no one criticizes my lack of ability. You never know about those day time players.

Highlights from the night:

I didn't lose my ball.
I didn't get to frustrated with myself.
I had to use a port-o-potty. (I hate the things)
Grass, grass everywhere.
Wet socks always piss me off.

The beginning of the fall semester

So for those who work on a college campus or live near one, you know the woes of the freshman (I guess you could have been one of these people). I haven't witnessed too many walks of shame yet but I am sure I will in the coming weeks. This morning I was getting my morning dirt water on campus (that would be coffee) and because it is the first day of classes there were four girls working. So one girls was discussing her adventures and was telling the another girl (and me although she didn't know it). It went like this.

"it wasn't even weird."
"did you leave right away in the morning"
"no"
"it was ok his roommates weren't around, so"
"he seemed like a good guy"
"yeah you know I felt like an asshole, you know cause I don't really know him"
"you know him now kind of"
"yeah"

Then I stopped listening because I have heard this story before. I wonder if parents know they send their kids off to college for sex, drinking and maybe going to class in their pajamas.

Things that are creepy

Well over the last few weeks I have had some interesting things (and by interesting I mean really creepy) happen to me.

So it was two Saturdays ago when riding the bus home when I turn my head and... A really weird guy is staring at me and doing the two finger wave to me. He had that come hither look about him and it made me wish I had walked the mile and a half home.

This past Sunday I am walking to Walgreens minding my own business when a rather odd man (holding a trash bag and rummaging through recycle bins) says to me "Hello Princess".

I don't know if its some karma thing. When I was a kid I would talk to random people all the time (on the bus). I just don't know.

Survey Stuff part 2

1. If abandoned alone in the wilderness would you survive?

When do I get rescued and why would I be near wilderness alone.

2.What are you looking forward to?

The Sims 3

3. Who was the last person you shared a bed with?

Let me think. What exactly does that mean? I'm not telling. A better question would be who is the next person.

4. Who do you text the most?

My texting is not about quantity. (I'm to lazy to count)

5. Who last said they loved you?

I don't know it was within the last few days but I am so damn lovable it could have been anyone.

Survey Stuff

I was looking at myspace and saw one of this survey it is 60 questions long. So I have decided that I am going to post 5 questions a day until they are all answered. So I ask that everyone help me out by posting their answers in the comments.

so here are the 1st five questions:

1. Who was the last person to call you baby?

I have no clue but I probably didn't like it when they did.

2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?

Always

3. If you had to kiss the last person you kissed, would you?

Sure

4. Has someone ever sang a song to you?

Yes my friends are awesome.

5. Last person to text message you?

Bob/Matt

The nanny stole my baby!!!

Ok not my baby but I have had nanny problems. For those of you who don't know I am a big fan of the Sims games and I am currently playing The Sims 2 Pets. I am slightly obsessed again. I stayed up until 12am playing last night not good. Anyway, I was looking through the forums on the website the other day because I invited a family over and when they left they left their baby. The Sims are full of baby stealing drama that only seems to worry the players.

Back to the point, on this forum there was a thread that talked about how the nanny stayed later than necessary and when she left she took the baby with her. Not a surprise if you have ever played because the nannies are useless. But you can't leave your baby home alone (which would probably be better than hiring a nanny). I personally have not have this happen to me but I have other nanny woes. I constantly have nannies that won't go to the bathroom when they have to then pee on the floor. That in turn make their hygiene levels go down and they won't do anything but complain. I also have the nannies that do things that the babies don't need. For example a I had a toddler that had just gotten up from a nap and their hunger bar was low. One of the parents put the kid in the high chair to feed them and the nanny comes along and puts the kid back in the crib not allowing the parent to feed the kid. I am not quite sure why Maxis would punish us with horrible NPCs but they do.

The Sims 2 is awesome!!

So I know I haven't posted in a while but there has been so much that has been going on lately. I was looking at the Sims 2 website and decided that I needed to post the lyrics to a song I found. Tell me what you think.

The Internet and television has done it to me again

This one is going (this post) to explore one of my current pet peeves and man does this one bother me.

So I was reading the Pop Candy blog like I like to do every morning. I missed reading yesterday but that's beside the point. I came across an entry that said a Pop Candy reader made a post on her blog about David Milch, Deadwood and John from Cincinnati. That posts leads me to my anger. That people get so stuck in their ways and hate change so much that they would rather have something go on forever than letting creative change happen. I will be the first person to say that I may have some questionable choices in the things that I watch on tv. Anyway. I watched Deadwood and I watched John from Cincinnati and although I had no clue what was going on in John from Cincinnati my curiosity about what could happen and what I saw previously from David Milch kept my attention. I must say that I will give most shows 4 episodes to hook me and it maybe my own stubbornness that gets me with these types of shows (I was attracted to Lost for the same reasons).

I can also say that I have no clue how networks and production companies work but from what I seen they have little patience for a show that is not producing the results that they hoped for. I was surprised to see that an actor from both Deadwood and John from Cincinnati replied to the post, Jim Beaver played Ellsworth on Deadwood and Vietnam Joe on John from Cincinnati. His response just displayed the fact that the things you posts are for the entire internet not just your friends and family.

I think that people get so caught up in their feeling (my god its tv things changes) that they insinuate things about series to help them cope. I am just glad that actor and actresses read and speak up. Change is inevitable. Deal with it.

Some of Today's Spam

Here are some subject lines that I got today:

My new guy's tool is enormous, and my mouth is tiny.

I cant believe you talked me into taking these pictures, hehe. I hope you like em.

My EX-boyfriend took these of me in bed. Do you think he misses me.

hey baby, I thought you might like these pictures to keep you hot till you get home.

Well you showed me yours, I guess I better show you mine, hehe. check out my pics.

My apartment ate a DVD

and I am pretty sure Netflix will not be pleased. Well they don't care as long as I pay them but that is besides the point.

At home I supposedly have Kitchen Confidential Disc 2, Coffee and Cigarettes, and Stranger than Fiction.

I watched Kitchen Confidential yesterday and I am sad I did because I ended up liking it and it was cancelled. I haven't watched Coffee and Cigarettes yet but I know where that is. The problem lies in what happened to Stranger than Fiction. I remember getting it. It may still be in the envelop but where. My apartment ate it and I kind of wanted to watch it.

Oh well it will show up when least expected or when I am not in the mood to watch it. That's my luck.

Weekend of rain and some fun

I should start at Friday. When I got home I took a nap. Very well deserved and restful. I got a phone call asking if I wanted to go out and it was Friday so I said yes. We started off by going to the Yield (a place I didn't mind) but the person I went with didn't want to stay. So we ended up going to a place I hadn't been in a long time, the Landmark, it was a good time. Played a little pool drank a little fun. Anyway before we left we decided that we would go to brunch the nest day. So on Saturday we went to Trocadero. I had a few Bloody Marys and a breakfast bagel sandwich. Good. I am pretty sure that they forgot about our order since people who sat after us got their food first. Not a big deal. Then we went to the Art Museum. Looked around in there for a while. It is easy to get trapped in there after walking around you don't always remember if you rode an elevator. Anyway I have spent today watching tv.

Fun times.

Mandy Moore covers Rihanna's Umbrella

Weeds

So I watched the first episode of the season and I must say it grabbed my attention, in a way that ensures that i will watch the rest of the season. The antics that a mom/pot dealer can get into at hilarious.

So here's a good one...

So a friend asked me if I would be a sub on their volleyball team. I apparently not thinking clearly decided sure, why not. Last night I got a text message about playing on the 26th. Again apparently not thinking clearly I said sure. Thing is I can't play volleyball. Of course I have played before (in high school). What have I got myself into.

No Posts

My brain did very few useful things today but they were very important. So tomorrow.

Well

We all know that I like to blog about the really trivial things in life. Well because I think that that's what makes life funny. One thing that I am reserving for other people to comment on is my extreme clumsiness. I had a coffee incident the other day and I mean catastrophic. Catastrophic to the floor to my jeans (I had to crawl under the table - a complete other subject). Extremely funny for Beth and Isaiah.

I have a history of coffee incidents. This time it wasn't all over me and the chair I was sitting in. I will not divulge any information about that chair or its whereabouts. I think it may have something to do with the fact that my chair doesn't have armrests. I don't know. I often make up things to support my theories. That's what college taught me.

Anyway, I hope everyone has an awesome day. I have officially finished my cup of coffee for today with absolutely no spills.

These are the days I wish I could program

So I want a program similar to the stickies program on the Mac. It is a desktop post it note application. I have found a variety of programs. The one I like the most cost some amount of money and has some sort of banner. So I found one for free and it just doesn't do what I would like it to do. I mean it can take that much to let me put a title in the title bar. Oh and stay on the desktop.

Computers.

Poor Poor Blog

I miss you. I have been in transition with computers and stuff, so no posts. I will try to find some post worthy info soon. Oh I had a coffee incident yesterday. I will tell you more about that later.

UGH

I go to write out my rent check. Which upsets me because I just want to pay it online.

Secondly I have 39¢ stamps. For the life of me I can't generate that cent symbol. Anyway I have know clue how much stamps cost, but if I could do the above I wouldn't need stamps.

I am full of wonderful goodness today.

TV

I'm sad I am really behind on my tv watching. It's actually funny for me since I am currently watching a total of 5 shows max. I wonder what will happen when I add two more in the mix later this month.

August 13th - Weeds (season premiere) and Californication with David Duchovny (series premiere) starts. I watched the first episode of Californication and liked it. It is on Showtime and will be on after Weeds.

Those are the two that I am adding.

The shows I am currently watching:

The 4400 - Sunday @ 8pm
Entourage - Sunday @ 9pm
John from Cincinnati - Sunday @ 9:30pm
Burn Notice - Thursday @ 9pm

So four shows and I am behind on all but one.

Nose Update

This blog long ago stopped reporting on my nose. Generally it has been having a good couple of months. Everything has seemed to healed properly. There's no bleeding. Like I said generally good. 2 days ago (only during the day) my nose has been running. I have no clue why (well I do). But I feel fine.

When I started this blog so long ago it was full of nose updates. I have allergy issues.

Rent

Almost forgot to pay my rent this month. That should be a surprise to no one. Man am I good. I wish I could do a electronic payment.

The Simpsons and Couture?

Well apparently W magazine took the Simpsons to Paris and coutured them up.

The Martini Fairy

Well I got this in email and most of these are so true that I had to share.
(Oh it's all pictures so I have to types it. Suck)

When girls drink to much...

1. We have absolutely no idea where our purse is.

2. We believe that dancing with our arms overhead and wiggling our butt while yelling "woohoo" is truly the sexiest dance move.

3. We've suddenly decided that we want to kick someone's ass and honestly believe we could do it.

4. In our last bathroom visit we realize that we now look more like a homeless hooker than the goddess we were just four hours ago.

5. We start crying and telling everyone we see that we love them sooooo much.

6.We et extremely excited and jump up and down every time a new song plays because "oh my god! I love this song."

7. We've found a deeper/spiritual side to the geek sitting next to us.

8. We've suddenly taken up smoking and becoming really good at it.

9. We yell at the bartender, who we believe cheated us by giving us just lemonade, but that's just because we can no longer taste the gin.

10. We think we are in bed, but our pillow feels strangely like the kitchen floor (or the mop?).

11. We fail to notice that the toilet lid is down when we sit on it.

12. We take our shoes off because we believe it's their fault that we're having problems walking straight.

The Time 100

I have no clue when this article was release and frankly don't care to find out. I just want to share the list.

Food Holidays

http://www.slashfood.com/category/holidays/

Excuse Me!!!

Why didn't anyone tell me that yesterday was National Tequila Day! I would have done a shot.

What We Rememebr

Well everyone knows I am about as deep as an ice tray and I rarely take myself serious. But I have to share.

Yesterday was the anniversary Steve Castner's Death. He was killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb. Yesterday wasn't that hard for me. It was the day before. I have a google alert set to sent me a message every time his name shows up in an online publication. On July 23rd, I got seven alerts. Reading those were rough. Mainly because his unit (forgive me for my military speak) is coming home. Some already here I think the rest are coming home Sunday. He was the only one not to return home. Its bittersweet, I am so happy that they are back and safe. But I miss Steve. I know his parents went to welcome the troops home I can't imagine being so strong.

I remember getting the phone call and saying "Are you joking?". I mean what a cruel joke but one that I wish was true. I left my office because I needed to talk to friends or just be around friends. I am sure it was the first time I have ever hyperventilated. I don't know if you ever felt like you were losing your breath but it is a sense of panic and despair that no one should have to deal with.

I think it's funny that I can see my little stuffed panther, Hector P., and vividly see Castner shoving him into his mouth. Or coming to work (Where Hector used to live) and not seeing Hector on the top of my monitor and knowing directly where to go.

Weird just thinking about gives me this sinking feeling that makes it hard to type. I have had a hard time writing about that day or Castner. This is me forcing myself to put feelings down on "paper" that are still so new.

This is too stressful, so...

Well I had to see it so - So do you

All I can say is what is this craziness.

Announcement

I have made the first real post to a new blog that a friend and I started. The idea is totally ripped off but I am sure we will somehow make this original in its own right. I have been struggling with a title and have (for the moment at least) penned it Food Porn. Well the foodies out there get it. I enjoy food as do most people I know.

I thin the original idea was dinner and I am sure it will stick to that meal to write about. Although I am sure some special meals or something that the contributors are super proud of will be featured.

So of course I have to link it to death.

So you know who my favorite musician is?

Well if you ever wondered if celebrities enjoyed the art of teabagging before, wonder no more. Not being teabagged or even teabagging but the sheer essence of teabaging. Head over to John Mayer's blog and read July 23rd's entry. No its not graphic and is safe for work. Plus if you scroll down a little there is a picture of horses.

It's a tv show and I can't love it or hate it yet. Mainly because I don't know what is happening. Nothing wrong with a little confusion. Tell your friends that.

If anyone has any idea or theories let me know.

Bus Stops

So I left my apartment today just missing the bus. Instead of going back home and waiting I decided to stay they and wait it out. Today pre-9am weather was weird in a way. I was standing there thinking this weather could go either way, it could get really cold or really warm. I did catch the weather today and although I am not a trained meteorologist I do just fine by going outside for a few minutes. Anyway I had a idea of what the weather would be like. I have spent to much time discussing the weather with my keyboard so moving on.

Next I am standing there staring into people's cars like I do in the mornings. You know I am slightly to nosy for my own good. Some guy driving a truck (like ups/fedex sized) decided he should yell "hey sexy". Well I can't say that I noticed that I looked really good this morning but apparently other people did. There were lots of staring and the bus driver called me sweetheart. Maybe I looked like I needed a compliment.

(as a side note: the benefits office called - they have decided that they are going to get back to me - again, thanks)

Back to the morning. Nothing wrong with liking yourself right. Its even better when other people like you too. I also saw a guy today in a really nice suit on a motorcycle. It looked a little odd but I know it happens everyday. Too bad he didn't wear a helmet. It will be such a shame if he get blood and brain matter al over that nice suit.

Oh I have two monster bug bites that have swelled. my arms look pretty weird.

My Obsessive Ways

You all should know by now that I can get a little tv personality obsessed. Well To I started my morning looking up Henry Rollins because a friend mentioned him in an email. What I found was a video of him writing a letter to Ann Coulter. Which by the way was funny. So today I have decided it would be Ann Coulter day. Not what you were thinking I know. Why pick the crazy when you can have funny? Well crazy is funny. I still can't believe she doesn't have horns (sadly I just can't let that fact go).

Today's mission: Find things that make fun of Ann Coulter.

What do you think?

I wonder about Jim Carrey's hairdo, do you think that he fears he will lose it and therefore is growing it out. I don't know. I do know that if you are a man and have made the conscience choice to grow it long, for whatever reason, you are supposed to take care of it and make sure its pretty. (or man pretty)

Well here is a link to where you can check out Jim Carrey's hair.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

So I watched this movie this weekend and it wasn't bad. I mean it wasn't something that's a must watch again but oh well.

On a side note I reduced my Netflix queue dramatically. I need to remove some of the clutter from my life and it was starting to feel like clutter.

Ice Cream

Well we are almost 10 days into National Ice Cream month and I have had one (maybe 2) scoop on the first. I need to do some major ice cream eating soon.

Anyone a fan of Dead Like Me?

Well I one saw one episode and I liked it and I know its been a while. The movie is being filmed I guess. I just read Ellen Muth myspace blog entry about it. She also says that after the movie there is a possibility for the show to go back to series.

For all those who care.

ted.

I completely forgot about this.

Well on the 4th I watched soap operas. It was great. Now that I have a 9 to 5 I can't watch them. I don't have any of the marvels of technology that will record them for me. I wish though. I need to make the big bucks. That's coming I hope.

All My Children - wasn't surprised at what was going on. I don't know when the last time I watched any of them but they are predictable.

One Life To Live - A little surprised. Jessica was out of the hospital and doing better. I don't know how they fixed her up but she was home.

General Hospital - I love this one. Nothing new to me. I wish I could watc more often.

Mail Inquiry

I know by the time I get my bermuda shorts it will be November and I should not get upset about this at all. I can't help myself and can feel the tension starting to build.

So I bought bermuda shorts online because the store didn't have them and I wanted the sale. They apparently were picked up in VA July 3rd. The last check point was WV today. The estimated delivery, and this is the part that angers me, is July 10th. They are supposedly shipping through the United States Postal Service. Which mean some crap-ass local shipping company probably dropped it off. Anyway 7 days including the holiday. I know I don't ship things and I'm overreacting because I can but it seems a little outrageous.

ted

So you know when your famous...

You should probably know that there are cameras everywhere. So I recently saw a picture of Rebecca Gayheart grabbing Eric Dane's crotch. Mind you he is her husband and when she wants a handful she should get a handful. The thing is that picture is much like hickeys to me. We all know you have sex, why announce it.

Its actually quite disturbing to me.

Well Well

So on August 3rd my nephew isn't going to be the only on getting gifts (that's his birthday), I am getting a gift too. The Bourne Ultimatum opens in theaters. I must say I have a fondness for this series of movies. It could have a high correlation with my fondness for Matt Damon. Anyway. How exciting?

John Mayer Awesomeness

Well I don't know if anyone could deny that the concert last night was awesome. I had so much fun. I missed most of Brenner's (Brett Dennen) set he came on early than expected. Ben Folds was also a fun time. What can I can I say about John Mayer. 12 guitar solos. 1.5 hours of excellence. Wonderful. I sang and screamed like a crazy person but who would expect anything different. So much fun. I will have to send him an email thanking him for a great time. I am glad Beth came with and had fun. After his concert he went over to Buddy Guy's stage and performed with him. I could say much more but you guys should have come.

I am drawing a bit of a blank of what to write but I think as all the awesomeness sets in I will have bursts of things I must share.

ted.

It shouldn't be a surprise
