Matt Damon's take on Sarah Palin

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.

ugh

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.

My tivo and me

Since I got the tivo in March of this year I have put a lot of faith in this electronic piece of equipment. I have gotten so used to not having to be at home to watch my beloved tv that the Tivo is highly depended on. ABC's stay at home week is about to start and boy I have a lot of tv watching to do. I am already a week behind on All my Children and General Hospital (dailies) and I have 4 Burn Notice's to watch. I have to finish the 4th season of The Office so that when that starts to tivo I won't be two behind.

Just so you get a small taste of what my tv life is like (or will be like).

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.

I could use a nap

Tired.

So there are a few more things that I would like to purchase:

• a black 5-shelf bookcase


• some sort of table for my sewing machine


• folding table w/ chairs in case I never live in a place that has room for a dining table

Too busy to finish this but take this.

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.
