"Yes I said amped!" Mike and Molly
Catching up on my DVR, I love the dumb sister. Fantastic.
So, went to The King's Speech with Mom and awesome sister-in-law for Mom's birthday. It's mad snow out there now. We didn't have a scraper so I pulled a Macgyver and used a cd case, in bare hands it was super cold.

Let's do the Time Warp again....
Time: 9:15 PM
Location: Couch
Music: Hey Soul Sister - Glee cast version
Attitude: Tired, yes that's an attitude.
Slept in, went to work, shelved books, came home, watched NCIS on USA - hooray for the season one marathon, I love Kate - went to nephew's basketball game, got updated on who was winning the SAG awards while at the game, came home from the game and watched the rest of the SAG awards and now am sitting on the couch staring at my computer screen. I'm exhausted. My nephew is actually quite good btw, very aggressive under the hoop, he made me proud. I hope I get to go to the games at my high school, every year they do a tournament with all the grade schools. I remember playing in those, oh man, and it seemed so much more fast paced at the time. But now just watching it's like, was it really like this when we played? Maybe it was and I'm just building it up in my mind.
The SAG awards were awesome, as always. I'm kind of an awards junkie when it comes to movies and music. I keep up with the nominations and the red carpet stuff, yeah I'm a nerd. But I'm very happy that Natalie Portman won for best actress and Colin Firth for best actor and then that the King's Speech won for best ensemble. That was very exciting, Colin's speech was funny. The speeches usually take so long, some people ramble longer than I do and I secretly want the music to start playing so that they'll go away but his was great.
I'm sad that Glee didn't win tonight but I mean, it's hard to beat Betty White in any category really. So, in their honor, I'll hit you with one of my favorite songs at the moment. They did this Rocky Horror episode in the first part of the second season (now out on DVD btw) which is probably the most well-known episode of the show. It was fantastic, and the music was fantastic. And it came out right before Halloween so Grandma (25-year-old coworker) and I went to go see the real Rocky Horror in a theater for Halloween and I think it scarred her for life. Haha, but it was hilarious because they're yelling out commentary, throwing toast, spraying water guns, so basically if you haven't already seen the movie you have no idea what's going on because you can't hear what they're actually saying. Since the movie really doesn't have much of a plotline anyway that makes things even harder to follow. Luckily I had already seen it so I kind of went with the flow. And I'm thinking about going again next year. It was just too funny. So, in honor of Glee and Rocky Horror I'll hit you with my music rec of the Glee version of Rocky Horror's probably best and most popular song the "Time Warp". Enjoy.

I'm just not hooked on your phonics.
I've been listening to too much Ke$ha. Everything is coming out in song. It's like the King's Speech all over again. If you can't say it sing it. Curse her simple but catchy melodies.
Anyway...
Time: 10:32 PM
Location: Couch - I'm sensing a pattern
Attitude: Awesome. Cause I'm jamming out to Ke$ha. Which doesn't automatically make a person awesome, but it comes close. Not really. But she's catchy.
Things I've Learned Vicariously Today:
- There's no graceful way to fall off a bike.
- Black ice causes cars to spin and scare the crap out of you.
- Babies are clever when it comes to waking up their parents in the morning.
Things I've Learned From Myself Today:
- I have no follow-thru. While I made soup for lunch - hooray for easy things on the stove - I totally caved and ate microwave lasagne for supper. But I'm tired. Does celery and peanut-butter count if I got them both from the kitchen? It's mixing ingredients, technically. It's an art really! Okay, not really. But such a random combination. deserves some kind of attention and appreciation.
- No matter how many different branches you can call to locate a DVD you still may have to send an email to all the staff at all the branches in a mass email. Nervous much?
- Even though she plays a lawyer I still wait for Kathy Bates to dress in bubblewrap and yell out TOWANDA! just randomly. Maybe she's saving it for a closing argument later in the season. Harriet's Law and Fine Shoes anyone? I love that show. Unfortunately, watching it means I can't watch Castle as they are on at the same time, so I will have to watch Castle tomorrow online. I know it was a big episode so I'm excited.
Aside from watching Castle, tomorrow means split shift and meeting with mom to go over tax stuff. I know nothing about them so I'm glad she's in charge of it all. Plus I get to tell Space Cadet about my cooking adventures. I should have taken pictures she won't believe me.
BTW - Shouldn't it be 'pair' instead of 'pear'? Maybe she has a thing for fruit. It's like 'flavor of the weak' all over again. Although I guess that one makes sense too.
BTWx2 - My cat is going psycho over that thing you pull off a milk carton before you can twist the cap. I have no idea what it's called but he loves it and carries it around the apartment before dropping it and batting it around. Simple pleasures.
Anyway...

If you can't say it, sing it!
Wow. Relaxation. This is new. Slept in, made food like MADE food, very exciting, went to a movie, hit up Target for more groceries, then came home to watch Burn Notice. Totally finished the first season. Love that I don't have to wait a week to see what's next.
So, woke up at 10 to the snowplows in the parking lot. Lots of beeping, lots of dragging noises, blah. Not a good way to wake up but then the thought that I could go back to sleep - even though I didn't - made things better. So, I decided to make food. I was feeling adventurous. Made some eggs on the stove plus bacon plus toast. Then did the same for lunch. Awesomeness. And I didn't even burn the eggs. I was very impressed.
After all this fun was more fun - I met up with some work friends and we hit up The Grand to see The King's Speech. Hilarious. And historic. I'd give it a 8/10 on my Scale of Awesome. But, I was really distracted through half of it because every time I saw a throne or they talked about a throne I just kept hearing Niles' voice in my head.
Niles: I once walked in on the Queen-mother.
Fran: In the shower?
Niles: On the throne.
So I wanted to laugh. But I couldn't. And then that reminded me of my incident in the lab where I was cracking up about that Just Shoot Me line - mentioned in an earlier post - and how I couldn't laugh then either which made things worse. So I got seriously lucky because Colin Firth aka George the VI swore up a storm so I had an excuse to laugh. Too funny.
Anyway, it was fun. Even though it was freezing outside and I was in a sweatshirt. Hey, I had to have something for Grandma to rag on me for. Grandma aka fun coworker who is 25 and calls me a young-un. Yeah, 22, big age difference there. So I call her Grandma. It's amusing. Think she'll cut me some slack when I turn 23?
Plus it gave me something to blog about besides work (who knew) as discussed with my other work friend. Social life in progress.
After all that was Target where I got some more make-in-the-kitchen food aka tonight's soup I had for supper. Very exciting. But don't think I'm gonna be waking up early to make stuff. I enjoy not being a morning person. It works for me.
Now it's Burn Notice, season 2, disc 1. I enjoy all of Michael Weston's accents. It's amusing. It's still a little difficult seeing him as the good guy since in like everything else he plays a jerk. Hmmm... I guess that means I watch too much tv. Maybe I should work on that.
Tomorrow I get to sleep in again, if I don't get called in in the morning, then fun times working the afternoon shift. Awesome.
Aannnd I'm out. I'd give you a music rec but I'm deep in this show. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. Saying a 9/10 on the S.O.A.
