and i'm crazy but you like it

Today was pretty much as dead as yesterday.

This whole storms and bad weather has thrown off our customer base.

I'm blaming the boyfriend cause it all started the day he left.

Luckily he gets back on Monday.

Which means I should attempt to get as much homework done this weekend as possible.

Speaking of homework, have a big assignment due Saturday at 10PM but am lacking the motivation.

Instead of researching - which I have started so I'm not completely blindsided - I watched Cashmere Mafia.

aka another series I was addicted in 2007 that didn't last longer than a season.

Here are a few of my favorite lines so far:

Zoe: "I mean she's like Business Barbie."

Mia: "Oh my god good or oh my god bad?"
Caitlyn: "Oh my god crap."

Juliet: "How do you take your coffee? My treat."
Cilla: "Light, no arsenic."

Mia's Mom: "and his mother says he's very handsome."
Mia: "Oh like that's not the kiss of death."
Mia's Mom: "and he wants to meet you for coffee at 5 today."
Mia: "what? MOM?!"

Caleb: "More powerful than ever, more beautiful than ever, an unstoppable ascension to the pinnacle of perfection."

Zoe: "Oh great, we're being summoned by a woman wearing a velour tracksuit."

Zoe: "The woman fed my children tofu while I watched."
Juliet: "She's a monster."

Mia: "You're a brain surgeon." *laughs*
Jason: "Is that funny?"
Mia: "No, it's great it's just that you don't really meet brain surgeons you know unless there's something scary inside your head. Other than the voice of your boss or your mother."
Jason: "Should I crack it open and take a look?"
Mia: "That's more of a second date thing for me."

*comparing scars*
Mia: "Bike messenger 23rd and Madison."
Jason: "Baby stroller 81st and Columbus."
Mia: "You got nailed by an upper west side stroller mommy?"
Jason: "Hey those women use their strollers as battering rams. Plowed right through me so she could get a Korean frozen yogurt."

Caitlyn: "and I have a thing on Saturday."
Zoe: "What do you mean a 'thing'?"
Juliet: "I get nervous when she says 'thing'."
Mia: "The last 'thing' ended with a slurred 3AM 'come and pick me up I don't know where I am' panic call."
Caitlyn: "it was an Italian restaurant in Nolita and I forgot what it was called."
Mia: "It was called Burritoville and it was in the meat-packing district but close."


and then my personal favorite:

Caitlyn: "My life is like a romantic comedy. Except it's never romantic. Or comedic. My life is nothing like a romantic comedy."

Just a few out of the many good ones. Interesting to see where these characters are now or have been in since. Even Juliet's daughter was in Zero Hour, I knew I knew her from something!


Anyway, it's cool. I'll have all of tomorrow night and then Saturday before I have to post it.

It's just gonna be like last time. I'll sit in the same spot for 4 hours and do it all at once. Gotten pretty good at that. For this class anyway.

Defiantly ready for a break.

So that and discussion boards tomorrow.

Plus you know real actual work.

What happened today at work?

Read more Silver Linings Playbook. Slowly working my way through, don't want it to end. Still listening to Warm Bodies.

Both awesome movies and excellent books.

That's all I remember. Nothing big. Spent a lot of time working with BossLady. Oh, trained a new volunteer who has actual library experience and wants to shelve Youth Services. Actually used the word "adore" as in I would "adore to" shelve Youth Services.

and that's all I got.

Just so tired lately, really need to sleep so here's this then I'm out.

I can hear Sketch's voice in my head. Put down the remote...

Loca - Shakira


love it. had to watch it just to see what she does at 2:08 cause she got so into that line when Monique sang it for blind audition.

here, watch 1:04


Monique Abbadie, pretty impressive. can't wait for her battle rounds, guessing she'll be paired off with like Cathia or Mary Miranda cause they had similar songs.

"Nashville is a state." "One of the 60 states."

I know, I know, it's been like 3 days.

And if you aren't friends with me on Facebook then you probably think I'm lying dead somewhere on the side of the road.

Like Sensei the day I slept through my alarm back when I was an aide.

Woops.

But they clapped when I showed up, cause apparently the last aide that didn't call in was actually dead.

Anyway, no, not dead, Sketch was here for Sketch and Edit's Excellent Adventure: Take Two.

Though really we've had many so I don't know that I can actually say Take Two.

Cause we were really random in college.

But on here it's gonna say Take Two.

Cause it's our second adventure as graduated mature adults.

Here is what graduated mature adults do on their days off:



Did I mention she was an artist?



So, it snowed, the whole time she was here.

Which really didn't dampen our plans cause we don't make any.

Take Sketch and Edit's Excellent Adventure: Take One Greetings from Boondock Iowa

We're lazy like that.

But we did watch a lot of movies and eat at some point, so I'm calling it a victory.

We actually cooked.

Emphasis on the "we" cause I totally made the brownies all by myself.

I know you're all in shock.

And my apartment survived.

However, I'm glad I covered them up before I left for work because look what I found when I came home.



Those are not my footprints.

Anyway, we had a lot of fun and while a lot of memorable quotes took place - though half I can't quote on here - I think the winner of the weekend was: "This popsicle doesn't taste like Robert Downey Jr."

I have Avengers popsicles and they're colored like the heroes. She got an Iron Man one while I ate a green and black one for The Hulk.

And then a red, white and blue one for Captain America.

Did I mention I have a thing for popsicles?

So the weekend was a success. Gonna compile a list of recipes for us to make for next time.

Gummy Bear Popsicles are gonna be on it.



I should rephrase, for her to make me as she is the master chef.

I am yet a young padawan.

She took off this morning when I left for work, then I got to come home to THE VOICE!!



I know, you're all excited.

I can hear the yay's around.

Nothing?

Really?

Yeah, Mom told me today that when I talk about The Voice she just skips passed that part.

Thanks Mom.

And Queen of the Known Universe yawns at me, geez.

No love for the GREATEST REALITY SHOW OF ALL TIME. Cause I hate reality shows so I really must love this one to watch it so often.

Shakira and Usher are off to a great start. They've each got a couple, along with Blake, Adam only has one but it's the winner I can tell already. She's number one on my list.

Yes, I've started one.

So far there are 5 people on it.

Which is decent for me, normally I stock up early and then run out of space, this time I'm planning carefully.

Gotta keep up my winning streak - huzzah for Cassadee for winning last year!

Picked her from the start, take that.

Here are a few of the highlights so far:

Judith Hill - What a Girl Wants


"he's selling, he's selling, he's selling. and he's gonna start going like this with the finger, and he's gonna start like showing his tattoos and stuff, Usher is gonna lift his other leg..."

I love Shakira.

Judith is the winner, number one on my list so far.

Kris Thomas - Saving All My Love For You


"I wish I knew you were a guy!!"

totally sounds like a girl, freaked them all out. their comments are the best part of his audition.

Christian Porter - Sexy and I Know It


so weird it's awesome. totally freaked adam out, do you see him in the chair?!

Alright, more to come on that after more blind auditions.

They are my favorite part.

Tonight's were especially hilarious just because of the new coaches. There's a lot of rivalries already getting started - Shakira's pretty intense.

But it was hysterical because Usher was trying to win over this country artist and says, "Nashville is a state" in an effort to make Nashville seem small compared to the world so Adam goes, "It's a city...one of the 60 states!" and like Usher like freezes, woops.

I love it.

Awesomeness.

More auditions tomorrow.

But work and class and the boyfriend first.

Legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

"You just killed a helicopter with a car." "I was out of bullets."

On to Live Free or Die Hard.

aka Die Hard 4.0


aka my favorite of the series so far.

Bruce Willis likes it better than 2 or 3 as the sequel.

Watched an exclusive interview between Bruce and Kevin Smith.

He plays Warlock but you probably know him from Clerks.

or Jay and Silent Bob.

He's highly entertaining, but he pointed out that Bruce has done a Die Hard movie in the 80's, 90's the 00's and now the 10's.

The boyfriend is convinced Willis is gonna be in a wheelchair for the next movie.

So yes, finishing up my marathon. Watched 1 last night and started number 2 - fell asleep so finished that one and number 3 this morning. Now I'm on 4 but can't watch 5 cause it's still in theaters, but I've rambled about that one already anyway go here: You asked for a large bag of hair on the way to Taganskaya Courthouse.

Just starting this one, he's currently picking up Matt Farrell - I love Justin Long, another one of my top favorites mentioned yesterday.

And now his apartment's being blown to pieces.

I do like all 5 but this is my favorite. Mostly because of the actors involved - Justin Long, Timothy Olyphant, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who makes an appearance in number 5) - and I like the whole government fire sale aspect to it.

The boyfriend likes the 2nd one best. My favorite scenes in that movie are the ones with his wife on the plane cause of her back and forth with the reporter who has a restraining order against her (after she punched him in the 1st movie.)

Richard Thornburg: [sits down and sees Holly looking at him] Stewardess!

Stewardess: Mr. Thornburg, you cannot monopolize my time.

Richard Thornburg: You cannot put me near that woman.

Stewardess: Excuse me?

Holly McClane: He means he's filed a restraining order against me. I'm not allowed within 50 feet of him.

Richard Thornburg: 50 yards. So by keeping me in the section you are violating a court order. I can sue you and this airline. That woman assaulted me and she humiliated me in public.

Stewardess: [walks over to Holly and whispers] What did you do?

Holly McClane: Knocked out two of his teeth.

Stewardess: Would you like some champagne?

I've only seen it twice, along with number 3.

Which I also like a lot because of the Simon Says stuff along with Samuel L. Jackson as Zeus.

Zeus: Why you keep calling me Jésus? I look Puerto Rican to you?

John McClane: Guy back there called you Jésus.

Zeus: He didn't say Jésus. He said, "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus.

John McClane: Zeus?

Zeus: Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?

John McClane: No, I don't have a problem with that.

[McClane and Zeus are speeding through Central Park]

Zeus: Are you aiming for these people?

John McClane: No. Well, maybe that mime. 

Here are a few of my favorites from this one:

Matt Farrell: Awww, great! There goes the cell phone.

John McClane: They knocked the satellites out of the skies, now?

Matt Farrell: No, your battery ran out.

The Warlock: [to Matt] Why did you bring a cop to my command center?

John McClane: [laughs] Command center? It's a basement.

The Warlock: [angrily] Who is this man?

[standing next to a stand-up cardboard cut-out of Boba Fett]

The Warlock: What, like, you a big fan of the Fett?

John McClane:  No. I was always more of a Star Wars guy.

Thomas Gabriel: I can't talk this guy. You talk to him. See if you can get him to focus.

[hands cell phone to Lucy]

Lucy McClane: Dad?

John McClane: Hi, baby.

Lucy McClane: Now there are only five of them.

[to terrorists over radio]

John McClane: Hey, Metro, how's your day goin' over there? Yeah, you gotta be pretty, uh, crazy over there, what with all those 5-87's, huh?

Mai Lihn: Yes, sir, we've had to dispatch all units.

John McClane: Yeah, you had to dispatch all units for all the naked people walkin' around?

[after the presidential montage]

Casper: That was creepy.

Trey: I tried to find more Nixon.

Matt Farrell: [to Lucy] Wow, I know that tone. It's just weird hearing it come from someone... with hair.

Just one of the many reasons I love it.

Today was good.

Aside from the all the Die Hard I mean, went in to work for a couple of hours. Was swamped the first and dead the next. But was good bonding time with Girlscout.

We talked pets.

Showed her the picture of Carter with the snowpeople.

Cause he's like monstrous in comparison.

And he sleeps on my stomach.

It would be adorable if it wasn't killing my back.

He's currently decked out beside me.

But anyway, so yes, slept in, watched Die Hard's 2 and 3, went to work, went grocery shopping.

Came home, unpacked groceries, ate supper, now on to Die Hard 4.

And that was my day.

Tomorrow will be much different I'm sure. Back to the regular 9-6, plus gotta call the dentist to set up an appointment.

I actually started flossing, aren't you proud?

Although by "started" I mean like twice.

This week.

But that's better than nothing.

I'll start doing it until the appointment and then quit again until next time.

And there's a TAB meeting.

Get to plan out logistics for SR events and the kickoff party.

Yeehaw.

Alright, on to the music, then back to the movie.

Just a Fool - Christina Aguilera Feat. Blake Shelton


love this song.

and that it debuted on the voice.

which starts next week, get ready.



stoked.

love her.

will of course miss Xtina and Cee-Lo, but I've always loved Shakira. and Usher is alright I guess, so we'll see how this goes.
