Well I always like going on the Lakefront Tour. It was fun like always. The sad part was that we didn't get to have the fish fry. By the time our tour was over they had stopped taking orders. Great huh.
Anyway I was the bung queen for the 8:00pm tour. It seems that no one remembers what that is but near the end of the tour. Someone is selected given and bung (something to hammer into a barrel) then you have to lead the group in the Laverne and Shirley theme song and flip a switch that starts a conveyor belt thing that makes beer come to you.
Anyway I would mind going again soon. Who's in??

Movie Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
So I was told that I would like this movie. Although I was a little skeptical as to how much I would like it, it was true. Really funny.
Well anyway. Kristen Bell was funny and I think this was the first time I saw her in a comedy. Jason Segal was also really funny. Mila Kunis was funny but the only thing I think when I see her is that she has sex with Macaulay Culkin.
Anyway male full frontal nudity is not a draw to the film but watching a fully dressed person hug a naked man closely is funny.
I didn't think that Russell Brand would be that funny because of his award show hosting stint. I was surprised.
If you haven't seen it already do it. I think it might be my turn to write a musical.

The Raconteurs
SO if you know me you know I really like them. Well I think today but I could be wrong. Bonnaroo posted their set from June 13, 2008. I was super excited and have been listening at my desk while I can today.
http://bonnaroo.com/365/theraconteurs/
Ok its taking over but I didn't want to make it to small.

So far so good
I had the goal of blogging more. So far I have. I just hope you all like what you get. From what I know about the internet you guys aren't picky about what you get as long as you get something.
Wish me luck in the weeks to come. As a result of the blogging more I have been twittering less. I need to find a good balance.
Happy Monday.

I want to cry
From laughter.
I was watching a PBS video with Amy Sedaris about Teh Internets (ok granted its long and I haven't made it through the entire thing).
Anyway I was watching and came across a guy who said that he and someone else got high and gave advice. I thought that's worth a google search.
It was because I think its funny. Therefore I will share.

Eminem's Crack a Bottle

Dead and Gone
This seems that today is a very musical day for me. I feel that I need to make a change in my life I guess that what happens this time of year. Anyway T.I.'s Dead and Gone feat. Justin Timberlake really is sitting well with me today. Now video but here's some lyrics:
Ay
Let me kick it to you right quick, man
That on some gangsta shit man, on some real shit
Anybody done been through the same thing, I'm sure you feel the same way
Big Phil
This for you pimpin'
Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone
Ever had one of dem days wish woulda stayed home
Run into a group of niggas who gettin' they hate on
You walk by
They get wrong
You reply then shit get blown
Way outta proportion
Way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em
Figure you get your hair that's next
They don't wanna stop there now they bussin'
Now you gushin', ambulance rushin'
You to the hospital with a bad concussion
Plus ya hit 4 times
Plus it hit ya spine
Paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound
Nevermind that now you lucky to be alive
Just think it all started you fussin' with 3 guys
Now ya pride in the way, but ya pride is the way
You could fuck around, get shot, die anyday
Niggas die everyday
All over bull shit, dope money, dice game, ordinary hood shit
Could this be 'cos of hip hop music?
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
Usually niggas don't know what to do when their back against the wall so they just start shootin'
For red or for blue or for blo I guess
From Bankhead or from your projects
No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
That part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say
The old me dead and gone away
Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone
I aint never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead lookin' back at it
Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it when you out there trappin'
In apartments, hangin', smokin', and rappin'
Niggas start shit, next thing ya know we cappin'
Get locked up then didn't even get mad
Now think about damn what a life I had
Most of that shit, look back, just laugh
Some shit still look back get sad
Maybe my homboy still be around
Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
I won that fight
I lost that war
I can still see my nigga walkin' out that door
Who'da thought I'd never see Philant no more?
Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
Cost a nigga his job
Cost me more
I'da took that ass-whoopin now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
A nigga put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk shit all night
'Cos I hit you, you sue me,
I shoot you, get locked up, who me?
No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
That part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say
The old me dead and gone away
Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
I turn my head to the East
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the West
Still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the North
Swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me is dead and gone
But that new me will be alright
I turn my head to the East
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the West
Still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the North
Swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me is dead and gone

Happy New Year
Well I hope 2009 is great for everyone. I had a lot of fun last year and I hope to have way more this year. One thing I want to do that I can't make resolutions or goals.
Be happier in 2009 than I was in 2008.
My resolution will be the same as in past years.
Don't sabotage myself. (I will continue to make this my one and only resolution until I get it right. When I look back and think I made the best out of every situation, I can move on to another.)
My sub-resolutions goals. I think I will borrow from years past.
Learn to cook something new at least monthly.
Entertain more.
Read more. (I got to get serious about this one)
Write more. (non blog writing)
Blog more. (I slacked this year)
Go to more concerts. (I like music I should enjoy it live)
Become more organized.
Be less crazy. (I don't know if that is at all possible but we'll see)
Any body got any good resolutions or goals. I hope everyone has a great year.
Welcome to the world baby Ian Michael Ver Haag

One Laptop Per Child
So a digital John Lennon appears in an ad for One Laptop per Child. I don't know I think it is always a little weird(maybe even creepy) when dead people are undeaded (I know its not a word) for tv/movies and such.
What do you think??

The Space Heater
So today I come into my cube and there is a dusty space heater in here. Why? I don't know. I don't know it was manufactured by the Sears Roebuck Co. (which makes the thing older than me).
It didn't come with a note either. Weird I know.
Theories:
Someone wants to kill me (by "accident")
Someone wants to burn down my cube (by "accident")
I'll post a couple pictures then you tell me.
It says, "Source of possible igniton - high temperature. Keep combustible material away from front of heater."
I'm just say it looks suspicion.

Post Thanksgiving Post
So yesterday was thanksgiving.
So one thing we did before dinner is we all said what we are thankful for.
What about you?I am kind of glad I only make these pies once a year they are not very good for you.
Oh I made sweet potato pie and green beans as my contribution to dinner.

I will post more if you read more
Ok that may be a lie (or a mistruth) as I won't stop posting entirely because you (whoever you are) stop reading but I...
There is no but I.
Anyway breathing hurts today. Asthma. I guess. I live alone and while watching tv or sitting on my couch have a lot of time on my hands to think or talk to myself. Yesterday witht he breathing pain I thought of those sucking chest wounds that I see on medical tv dramas. Then decide that maybe my chest pain felt like that but as a bad. I don't know.
Oh I have good news. So last week it was rumored that Lipstick Jungle was being canceled but its not. I started to feel bad for my Tivo.
That's all I got for now.

Wow what an election
There is something to be said about the presidential race. It was a very interesting one. I don't know if anybody could have expected what we saw tonight. The polls just closed on the West Coast and the news people started to make ther presidential predictions. Once it was announce that our president-elect was Barack Obama there was a cheer within the bar.
This presidency means so much to so many. I don't think that I could think of the many ways this will effect lives or livelihood of those who voted for or against Obama.
With such an historic election in front of us I think it is important to realize the impact.
Those of us that happen to be black - The first black president. I know he was not the first to run but he was the first to have a fighting chance.
Those of us who needed change - This country has had its number of issues over the last 8 years and I must say that if you are bold enough to say change is what we need and be honest about it, there's my vote.
I could go on and on. Here is the thing. This would have been an historic election either way. I still have this mind-blowing excitement and enthusiasm behind this. I just can't wait to see tomorrow's news and react.
This is big and exciting.

I have a problem
Well I am big on saying please and thank you and if I am not particularly crabby excuse me. Today I am walking through Enderis to get coffee and as I am leaving Denemark Lounge a guy gets on the elevator. I didn't hear anything but there was a guy already on the elevator and the new elevator guy says "4". Well I immediately say "please". I should know I can't say please and thank you for other people but for some reason I sometimes do. I may be losing it.
Even after I thought "Tamara its crazy to say please for other people" I have the thought that please was probably not the right response (from me or the "4" guy) it should have been "thank you" because I would hope "4" guy wouldn't be so rude as to yell out a number at a guy to push on the elevator and that in fact he must have been prompted in some way.

SNL
So I can't tell you the last time I sat down to watch Saturday Night Live. Like many others who have stopped watching have said "I think it lost it funny". Although I must say that Tina Fey as Sarah Palin is pretty funny. Anyway I have been reading lately that Mark Wahlberg (one of my favorites - give me a moment while I close my eyes and think of him in his Calvin Klein undies) did not find the Mark Wahlberg talks to Animals sketch not funny. I must admit if I would have watched it live I wouldn't have found it funny either but the fact that Mr. Marky Mark is all over the gossip pages about such a sketch is kind of humorous.
Here's the video:

It's soapbox time
Well, well mixed reviews of Quantum of Solace theme song. That being the new James Bond movie. Today it was debuts on a UK radio station. http://tinyurl.com/4l3yaa you can check it out on Buzz Sugar.
In the UK (at least that radio station) loved it. I have only listened to it once and I liked it. I'll have to listen a few more times though.
Here are my thoughts on the matter. When you do a collaboration with very popular artists in different genres of music you are bound to have varying opinions.
Where do I stand?
I like Alicia Keys. Some times I think her heavier, husky voice needs the right music to accompany it. Maybe I'm crazy but I loved the first two albums and half loved the third.
Jack White definitely has an interesting sound, that I love. Listening to The Raconteurs' Carolina Drama. Both vocally and as a guitarist.
When I first heard of the pair I thought that will be interesting. I am not ready to cast my vote about how well they meshed their sounds together. Take a listen, what do you think?

One Tree HIll
As I start watching this week's episode I find out someone dies. Then think I must of missed something did I watch last week's episode. I though I did, well I go back and notice that by some late night genius moment I have. I didn't watch the last ten minutes. It is a hazard of starting to watch a show at 10pm or 10:15pm. Well I go back and I already know someone will die then watch. I am thinking what the hell. So I start watching this week's episode again. It is extremely sad.
I don't understand why they killed off Q (Quentin) but we are only 3 shows into the season. I hope something clarifies it soon. What's the big setup.
Well Brooke is continuing to lie about how she got so beat up. She has been telling everyone she fell down the stairs (well tumbled) at this point I don't think anyone believes her. She has been going to the shoot ranges to learn how to use a gun. I have a feeling that if push comes to shove she will shoot her mother.
The crazy nanny still has Dan locked away in her house. Dan tried to escape again this time out the back way collapsing onto the son grave. Which I thought was really weird. Who buries their kid in the backyard. There is more story behind this I am sure. Dan sympathizes with her but she's batshit so who knows how she will spin it.
Like I said this episode comes right after everyone learns that Q has been shot (at a gas station on his way home from basketball practice). It comes out at his funeral that Deb (Nathan's mom) is sleeping with one of the coaches and Nathan's good friend Skills (Antwon). She goes to console him at the funeral. I thought that was a touching moment (there will be fallout from that also).
Gish there was so much more I wish I knew someone who watched so I have someone to discuss with. Until then I will tell Michael everything there is to know about the show.

I know that I am a little nutty so I thing I have the right to judge other crazies. I have deemed someone to be batshit crazy and to hear them talk incessantly for thirty minutes to an hour will drive me out of my mind.

If we're friends (and you don't work at UWM (in some cases))...
you can send me a text message that says "do you want to go to a fish fry on friday 4 my work fundraiser?"
and I will say yes (if I am not already booked) because that's what friends do.
ok I like fish.
Plus I am a sucker for raising money for good organizations and friends that need help.
If we're friends (without any stipulations of where you work)...
you could text me and say "do you want to go to Chuck E. Cheese so we can make fun of kids and their parents while eating pizza and drinking beer" I'd say yes because that sounds like a fun time.
There are tons of text messages you could send me and I would say yes to, except for maybe going to a dairy eating contest (and I'd think long and hard about this especially if it was and ice cream and cheese eating contest (i'm lactose intolerant - and I think I would go but not participate) before saying I don't know.
If we're not friends, I'd tell you to suck it and never text me again. (ok that wouldn't happen - I'd probably say no (and then when you asked why I'd say 'because I don't want to, get off my back').
I also think that I may be losing my mind.

A change in affliction
So I use to post about how bad my nose was behaving and although it still has its moments. I take a slew of meds for my allergies so my nose is ok. I made a post yesterday on Twitter about how the dentist was taking over my life. I have a dentist appointment to day in fact. I just had this really weird thought about what I could use as a replacement to the nose posts. Get ready for this...
"My teeth haven't fallen out yet"
I know it is bizarre which now makes me want to look up why teeth would just fall out without extensive trauma.

Nacho nacho
Well tonight was Beer and Nacho night at Harry's. I really got nothing but I am watching soap operas and blogging is one of the best things you can do while watching soaps.
Herb Kohl was at Harry's apparently, although I didn't see him.

Pants-off
SO I was getting dressed this morning and while searching for pants I picked up the pair that I wore on Saturday for the Zorn b-day party. Then it come to me, the memory of the mustard incident. I was there to help out with party setup and then to have some fun. Well after setting things out we decide its eating time. So I go for one of my favorite, the hamburger. Well as I am trying to put on the condiments I realize that the mustard is not open. Being the self-sufficient girl that I am decide that instead of taking the help that Erin offers, I can open the mustard while holding on you my plate.
I put the mustard being my thighs so I can unscrew the top, I did that fine. Then I go to remove the pull lid which I did just fine. Except for the splash of mustard on the leg of my pants. Erin is getting a good chuckle as she says, "I told you I could help". Now I have to clean up the mustard which I thought I did. All the while Erin is laughing and telling my there is more. Yes I have mustard all over my crotchal region. Kinda funny. Not like that was the first time that happened. I have a incident at work with something white (I wish I could remember what it was).
SO to avoid this I say no pants.

Superman makeover
Not in the way of a new cape but image. Well I must say I didn't watch the Superman man movie. Now that Dean Cain is not my Superman I've been over it. It shouldn't surprise anyone that after the success of The Dark knight movie makers are trying to find ways to make comic book movies with the same level of success.
I was reading that they wanted to make a new darker grittier Superman movie, since that worked for The Dark Knight. I think they could chalk up some of the "grittier" and "darkness" to the nature of Batman. Superman who is out to save because he has strength and a do-gooder doesn't make me think tough guy like the vigilante justice of someone out to rid violence as a way to avenge their parents death.
Well what do I know maybe it could happen. I like Superman so I hope that the franchise has success. We'll see what they come up with.

It's been awhile
Well on August 21st I had my 21st plus 7 birthday. I had an awesome time last week. Tuesday, was Harry's night. Co-workers sang happy birthday it was kind of weird but I will say it was the thought that counts right. I guess you have to except that thoughtful weird, I am glad it wasn't a shoulder rub or a fake punch in the stomach. Well at Harry's we tried the new Rehorst Citrus and honey vodka (with seltzer and a splash of sprite - what they call a vodka press).
Wednesday was Porchclub. I got a very lovely cake.
Hung out with friends. Some drunker than they probably needed to be on a Wednesday night. I must say that it was very very amusing. I haven't been to Porchclub in a while so it was good to go again.
Thursday was the big day. I decided that I wanted to do something adult. I invited a bunch of people to Water Buffalo but before we get to the festivities. At work I was gifted another lovely cake.
Way to amusing. Work was fun. Another co-worker realized that the sprinkles on the cake matched my earrings. Then she got sprinkles from the cake and brought them to me. Somewhat bizarre but also funny.
Now to Water Buffalo. I really like the place. Oh we had this awesome appetizer, baked Italian cheese. Delicious!!! We should move on to the gift portion of the night.
Kathy got me Coach sandals (white).
Anna got me a new bag (shimmery brown).
Kim got me a Brewer's t-shirt.
Jenni got me two v-neck elbow length sleeve (red and white).
Beth and Jim got me a Snoopy sno cone maker.
It was a very fun time.
Friday was the Brewer's game. They won. Then Saturday we went to the lovely city of Kiel for the Zorn's 50th birthday party. I got a mosquito bite on my lip that was fun. Well I got about 10 other mosquito bites.
Wednesday was Porchclub. I got a very lovely cake.

Well I got nothing really
This post is mainly to force my friend Kim in to reading my blog she said she would read all posts where she was mentioned.
Kim the internet isn't a bad place.
Well yesterday was Jamie's birthday, we went to Hooligan's for drinks and dinner. I had one of each. Then I went home and watched some tv.
Oh while we were at Hooligan's we got yelled at by a woman asking for money. She was very pissed because we didn't give her. She also said that she wanted to have fun and drink, eat and other such things that we seem to be partaking in.
I understand that people get into situations. I understand that you aren't always mentally stable to take care of your business but don't get mad because other people can.
I know a little bit about struggle and I know that it can be hard to navigate at some times but there are people and places that will try to help you better your situation. The point of the story, don't yell at Kim and that guy that I can't recall his name.
Even with that I had a fun time.

I am annoyed right now
It totally something at work and I won't blog about it. Well I went to Kiel this weekend and got a little wastie. I don't know how it happened but it did. The parade was ok, nothing spectacular. Now I face another busy week.
Today I really need to go to the grocery store. I need lunch stuff for Great America on Wednesday. Then ingredients for stuffed shells for Italian night on Thursday. Tuesday is Harry's night. Friday is the first book club meeting where we will discuss The Kite Runner. Saturday I am double booked and I don't know what I will be doing Leah's having a going away party (she's off to teach English in South Korea) and Kim and Corey are having a housewarming party.
At some point I have to finish the book, which mean I am going to have to cut out some television. I hope the tivo is ready to work.
Wish me luck.

What to do
I am going to keep telling myself that i ma going to blog more until it actually happen.
So I got my remaining (2) wisdom teeth pulled Friday. I don't remembered what happened the last time I had an impacted wisdom tooth pulled because I slept through it. Yes with only local anesthesia. The weekend was something, I was in pain for most of it. I think the dentist tried to break my jaw. I still can't open my mouth fully. Which makes eating hard.
So I went out and bought SingStar 90s this weekend and sang a couple of songs. I know people are a fan of the 80s edition but I know this one is fun and I know a lot of the songs.
I think it is time for me to do a music moment once again on my blog. So that's what the next post will be about. Watch for it.
Oh Diddy (or whatever he is calling himself these days) has a new reality show starting today. Where people compete to be his assistant. I think I will watch just to see what his old assistants have to say.

Time
Did I get anything that I wanted to get done tonight done??
Well the big answer to that is no. I wanted to do laundry, didn't happen. I wanted to clean, didn't happen. I wanted to post on my blog. Ok that happened but just barely.
So today I went to see The Dark Knight. I must say that I loved it. I don't know what the pull is for me toward Batman. The Caped Crusader, right? There is something about vigilante justice that makes a good movie for me. The only good justice is justice you make for yourself. That statement I am sure will come back to haunt me I'm sure. Maybe when I am on trial. Anyway, I thought the Joker performance was great and I laughed maniacally at how truly off kilter the Joker can be. Well you do have to suspend belief. (Spiderman sucks - not the movie the character)
Going to see the movie has inspired me to put a new poll on my blog. I was told that it seemed a little crazy to go to a movie alone. Whatever, I enjoy my own company.
Well before I put that poll up and I venture off to bed, I have to make the statement that my eye hurts. I don't know if this is cause to worry but oh well.

Why I blog less
At first I thought it was because I was too busy. I now realized that I drink less wine and wine is the key to the success of every nonsensical blog.
Drink up.

My week in review
Well I was pretty busy at work. I taught Excel Basic 2. Now I don't know how the students took it but I was not on my A game. I didn't have as much time to prepare as I wished I would have. I also taught CMS (content contributor) to some people. I thought that went ok. I mean I have been using it now for quite some time and think I have got a good enough grasp on it.
Anyway I made some progress on some projects and even impressed myself in my ability to just figure out some thing if I just put a little effort in them.
Well Sunday I spent some time with the family. Over to my aunt Cindy's for dinner. Then came home and watched a lot of tv. Nothing very exciting. My great-aunt Winona was in town hanging with the fam after all the health scares.
Well Monday I came home and took a nap. No movie night since Pam and Michael are off to Iowa. I guess I can say to start a family and further their careers.
Tuesday was customary nachos and beer at Harry's. I am going to try to make a good effort to eat less when at Harry's. Cut out the mini burgers I think and just stick with half the nachos. We'll see how that goes.
On Wednesday, I went to Axel's with some co-workers and had an interesting time. Some people obnoxiously made their way into our group. This is where strangers touched me and I tried not to be to weird about it. If you know me at all I tensed up but I was not the focus of the strangers attention, thankfully. It was a weird night for sure.
Thursday night I saw a message on Twitter and decided I would walk over to Rascal's for meet Liz. That was fun. We talked with a guy named Aaron that told us about how smart he was. he had graduated high school at 16, received two degrees by the time he was 22 and now he was taking a year to have fun. What can I say I can get people to tell me their life stories without saying much at all. I think that means I should have gone in to the field of journalism. Who knows.
Well Friday was very uneventful for me. I just wanted to come home and take a nap. Which didn't happen. I sleepily talked on the phone with my sister ate dinner did internet stuff tried miserably to organize all my pictires then read The Kite Runner in bed.
Now its Saturday I am doing the internet stuff again. Blogging apparently.
I know I blatantly left oft punctuations during the post, maybe i will fix that later maybe not.

Becoming an Evil Scientist
I found this link on Neil Gaiman's Journal and I found it extremely funny. So I thought I'd share with the world.

Reading
I was doing my morning reading of not news and I came across the blog of Neil Gaiman. In the post I read he was responding to a bookseller who is not the biggest fan of him experimenting with putting one of his book s online for free. The bookseller had to survive and all.
I see both sides of the argument but I like the side better that says if you never had a taste of (let's say) cheese how will you ever know you like it.
Now I I must say that I would one day love to be an successful author of both fiction and non-fiction. When this happens I would love it if people bought my books but I do know I'll have to give a sample.
Which brings to why the saying "Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free is wrong".
Wouldn't you be pissed if you bought a cow without trying the milk (because the cow had pretty spots or whatever) and you find out that the milk is bad?
So getting back to why this post is titled "Reading". In Gaiman's post he sites the statistic that 1 in 4 adults read no books last year. It's kind of scary to read, even though I may fit in that category. I know I have started to read books but didn't finish one.
I would love to be a pleasure reader again. I don't have the time. Every year I set big reading goals for myself and never achieve them. I am now a part of a book club that a friend started. I have the book I am on like page 6 there are almost 400 pages wish me luck. Some have suggested I just watch the movie. I know that it is cheating.
I have a vague idea of what my point for this post was and it is...
If you want me to read your work and gain a fan. Give me a sample. If you are a good dealer, your words will be like heroin and I willwant need to read more. I will go to a local bookshop (once I find one I like) and buy the hell out of your books. I have been know to go back and buy an additional copy because I have ruin my first by reading it to much (or hard).

When did I get so busy
I have so many things that I need to do. I probably couldn't list them all if I tried. There are things that I know I just need to get them over and done with:
Putting my dresser together (It's been sitting in my hallway since I bought it at Ikea)
Fixing my "work" bag (It broke one morning outside of Sabin. I have been carrying my Vicky's Secret bag and the weirdos that I naturally attract has new reasons to talk to me - see my post from a few days ago)
Fixing my new tank top - the straps are too long.
I need to go to the store and buy cake mix for Anna's birthday cake.
I need to buy beer for the Brewers game on Friday.
Busy busy. I need to relax. That won't be happening soon.

Never wear or carry items with words

Beth's Playlist
After talking with Beth about many things. We discovered that she needed a Tamara's playlist. So I will be throughout the day compiling a list of the music that I am listening to or just plain amuse me.
Duffy - Mercy
Estelle - American Boy
Lil Wayne - Lollipop
Maroon 5 feat Rihanna - If I Never See Your Face Again
Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains the Same
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
I'll probably think of more as soon aas I close this window.

My Contributions to the internet
Everyday it gets harder and harder to stay connected even though I am an internet worker. I don't have the time anymore, unless I am taking a sanity break like I am now.
Well I will continue to try and I do contribute some via twitter. Although never anything of substance because I am being watched there. That's a whole other rant that I will probably won't have the time for.

Monday Night Movie Night
Well the end is near for movie night in its current state. I have one last pick before Pam and Michael move away. So I have been thinking of what exactly we should do with the blog. I think we can continue to use it in a way to keep each other up-to-date on what were watching and recommend movies to each other. Another thought is we use it to update each other on what spin-off movie nights are watching. I don't want to get rid of it because it chronicles over 2 years of a groups of people movie viewing habits. As well as memories that we've made in those years. I am actually IMing with Pam right now and she telling me about a Britney Spears look-alike and how the blog needs to be updated. Oh and celebrity babies. That's all of the point though what do we do?
Any ideas?

Oh Bryan
What can I tell you about Bryan?
he's 22
he was in the marine corps for 4 years
the love of his life is John (he carries John's senior picture in his wallet)
he has a half black (cousin/niece) named Alyssa (other half Italian)
he's from Illinois
he's pissed @ the Catholic church
he's a close talker
I can be sure of these facts because he was very close to me while repeating this information over and over. Well until John came to get him leaving after harassing a couple of salad-eaters.
What I can tell you about me? I'm a easy target. Drunk people love me. There could be something said about how approachable I am. Granted I brought this on by bumping into his chair. I said sorry and then he started talking. I am going to go with the fact that I am a people person and I look friendly.
Update:
Bryan also works at the Pfister.

Jello Shots
So I asked my sister for her recipe for very potent jello shots and she told me replace all water with alcohol.
I then asked her how did they gelatinize. Which I know isn't a word but whatever.
I have been doing research and I am thinking flavored vodka.
Any suggestions?

I am so tired I don't know what to do. I have had double the caffiene as normal I got enough sleep last night. I don't know what the deal is.
So what's going on in the world. Well here in the Milwaukee area we had a little rain over the last couple of days.

You know you have a problem when because John Mayer told you too you watched a girl pole dance in what I would assume is her living room.

Teen Witch Top That Lyrics
I'm king, and they know it
When i snap my fingers everybody says show it
I'm hot
and your not
But if you wanna hang with me I'll give it one shot
Top that, top that
You can give all that you can, but you will never top that!
You can dream until you're blue but you can never top that
huh huh
I'm hot
and your not
But if you wanna hang with me I'll give it one shot
Top that, top that
You can do all that you can but you'll never top that, top that
Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Such a waste of pretty face but hanging in your no one's face
I wish that you would take a look and really stop that
Top that, stop that
I don't really give a about tryin to top that
Top that, stop that
I wish you finally take a real look and really stop that
Whats this, stop that
What gives, stop that
I don't really give a about tryin to top that
top that, big deal
top that, unreal
you can try until youre blue
i will make a fool of you
TOP THAT
When i snap my fingers everybody says show it
I'm hot
and your not
But if you wanna hang with me I'll give it one shot
Top that, top that
You can give all that you can, but you will never top that!
You can dream until you're blue but you can never top that
huh huh
I'm hot
and your not
But if you wanna hang with me I'll give it one shot
Top that, top that
You can do all that you can but you'll never top that, top that
Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Such a waste of pretty face but hanging in your no one's face
I wish that you would take a look and really stop that
Top that, stop that
I don't really give a about tryin to top that
Top that, stop that
I wish you finally take a real look and really stop that
Whats this, stop that
What gives, stop that
I don't really give a about tryin to top that
top that, big deal
top that, unreal
you can try until youre blue
i will make a fool of you
TOP THAT

Heartburn
I have a raging case of heartburn. I will pay someone to bring me an antacid.
I guess I will have to go somewhere and buy some tums or something.

book review
I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley
So this post is mainly for Michael's girlfriend, Calley.
I haven't gotten very far in the book yet but I am recommending so far. Here is a quote from the book that anyone in the age of original Oregon Trail could appreciate.
"Oregon Trail slowly moved toward a singular goal. It also had a distinct masturbatory quality. Here was something millions of preteens did, only you wouldn't find out until much later in life."
A little more about the book: It is funny in the conversational, tell me more kind of story that a friend tells way.
More to come...

Last Year
Well around this time last year my John Mayer obsession was in full swing. Like anything else that obsession has many factors that effect it. Think economics. Anyway. I think a good John Mayer-ish spell of blogging is about to begin. To my delight and I am sure (horror of others who discount music for no good reason at all) John Mayer will be back at Summerfest this year. Which means I will be at Summerfest again this year.

Heavy Thinking
Well I have been trying to keep up with the internet and its very hard for me at the moment. I was reading a famous person's blog today and I started to think about the sentiment that the famous person was trying to get across. Anyway some of the thoughts really hit close to home. If anyone has been around me lately I have been on the edge (of so much). When I have more time I will reveal aforementioned famous person and other thoughts of mine.

Hello World
What's up out there? I have a headache but I won't let that keep me down. It really does suck that its raining out though.
I can't think of anything clever to say or anything. So I won't.
I can't think of anything clever to say or anything. So I won't.
Well Well
First off, I don't give a shit.
I would say that I didn't know what I was thinking but on second thought I know exactly what I was thinking and that was very questionable. Many of you know I sent out a slew of text messages. None of which I got answers too but I will be ok, despite the fact that no one loves me but Robby and Kim. I must say I am not nearly as drunk as I wished I was but I will say man was tonight uncomfortable. For everyone just not me.
At BBC, it's Wednesday so it's Hamburger Hell and I have a yearning to go. Robby indulged me. As I was walking to meet Robby, I thought 'I was going to take the night back'. Well that slogan is taken for a much better cause than mine. I know I torture myself (a little) but this was a bit much for me tonight.
I wish that things didn't have to be as awkward as they are but there is nothing I can do about it. You know I am polite and really really need to go to bed. I will say hi to whoever will say hi to me. I learned it's not to many people. Well whatever. You know I am a nice girl, if nothing else polite. Ask a bus driver.
The night was filled with lovely saying that I shouldn't repeat online, but the sentiment was I'm a fun time who know one likes.
My response is "I don't give a shit."
I must say this while I am in a relatively good mood. I am not upset with anyone, I don't have the time. I would like to go back to having a drama-free lifestyle. More importantly I will no matter who I have to cut out. I sick of all the bullshit and if anyone can name a time that I did something to them out a maliciousness (and if we were or are friends) sorry. There is nothing else for me to give.
I'll end this post with this:
fuckedy fuck fuck fuck, suck that.

food blog
Man it had been so long since anyone posted on the food blog. I guess I haven't been cooking that much lately. Not to mention that my camera was broken. I got a new camera so I am a picture taken fool again. I made chocolate peanut butter chip cookies. Check out the blog and the cookies http://dinnerness.blogspot.com/
