now you're just somebody that i used to know.

Ah, living the dream.

The vacation was great, short-lived, but great.

So I'm back to life fulltime tomorrow, which is fine, I have a lot to do. Juiceboxes, finish campfires, etc.

Visited the cemetery today with mom and great aunt, it reminded me of a story my uncle told me a few years back. Apparently, one of our relatives was quite the drinker and the doctor told him it was unhealthy so he should quit. The dude looks at the doctor and says, "I know a lot more old drunks than old doctors."

Was cool to see the headstones and hear the stories. Learn family history and all that. Though a little creepy considering you never know where to step.

After that I watched some more Swamp People with dad, got caught up, and yes HeeHaw clips as well. Had them all lined up for certain sketches. Then watched some Leverage, mom liked it so that was cool. I got her hooked on Chuck before, looking forward to the season premiere for this one. Gotta have something to watch, my favorites are dropping like flies either being cancelled or the storylines suck.

I've given up on Greys, Private Practice, Glee, Body of Proof, and Criminal Minds - I really like that last one but if Paget is gone gone then I'm officially done. Will have to watch the finale and see what happened. They better not kill her off for real this time.

Then they cancelled Chuck, possibly GCB, plus the Closer will soon be over, which leaves me with Castle, NCIS, the Voice, and....crap, what else is on my DVR? Leverage, Warehouse 13, Hot in Cleveland, that might be it. And I don't watch those live. Oh Bones, but I'm behind on that. As well as Big Bang Theory. 2 Broke Girls, I love that one. Watched a bit of it tonight as well, Max throwing Caroline a birthday party and them ending up the prison to see Caroline's dad but instead Max met an old ex who had her tattooed on his stomach. Awkward.

Wipeout is gonna come back for the summer, love that one. We watched highlights of it at Stop Class.

Made the day go by pretty quickly.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing, I could just check the DVR but I'm too tired and lazy.

Maybe the cancellations are good as camp is coming up. I don't really have time to watch anything anyway.

So, tomorrow. Big day. And the word of the day will be: "Agliff: a verb only found in the past participle as aglifft, meaning frightened. It is related to the equally obsolete gliff, meaning to alarm."

Would you add an -ed after that? "Like I agliffed myself when I saw the creepy stalker?" or would it just be "I was agliff after he approached me." ??

My favorite covers of Gotye:


Somebody That I Used to Know

Tim Whybrow's Acoustic Cover

super cool video. except for the egg with the face. that was weird.

Lindsey Pavao on The Voice

love it, she was one of my favorites.
though the dancers were a little...much?

alright, i'm out.

help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda.

Interesting day at the farmhouse.

This morning was church, Second Sister and family came down so we all went together.

After that we hit up a local restaurant for lunch buffet. Super small town but famous for its Wing Wednesdays and all that. Basically on those night there are no plates, just plastic tablecloths. But this morning it was buffet so had some salad, potatoes, corn and all that.

Older brother and his family met up with us there so following lunch we came back to the house where the men proceeded to take naps while the women sat on the couch and watched a Royals game.

Amusing, I know.

All the while talking about my wedding, no he didn't propose but they were giving me crap cause there are these giant wedding pictures of my siblings on the wall behind us. So since we're going to Vegas we joked about having Elvis marry us. My brother was having none of that and everytime he'd drift off to sleep they'd ask something about wedding colors or number of bridesmaids and he'd wake right back up to yell "don't be talking about that!"

But I'm used to the crap being thrown in my direction, I am the youngest afterall.

Actually we jokingly said that we should act like we got married and take a picture with Elvis at a church then text it to my parents saying, "Congratulations we got married" just to see what the reaction would be.

Speaking of the boyfriend, he stopped by tonight on his way back from riding his motorcar in Kansas. Dad showed him all the buildings and a bunch of old cars and train layouts and that stuff.

You have to remember that he knew my dad before he knew me so it wasn't a foreign concept, but they talked cars and trains for about an hour and a half, re-bonded you could say. It was amusing.

And I know nothing about cars so everything they said about engines went straight over my head.

So they planned future stuff with trains, think he's gonna buy some sort of trailer thing from me dad. That's all I need, more bonding. Now they'll probably start investing in motorcars together or something and I'll never escape.

Not that I want to, I'm a fan of both of them.

So tomorrow is Memorial Day, going out to lunch with the great aunt and Mom and then over to the cemetery. Clean up the stones and all that. After that who knows.

I'm out for the night, throw in a disc of Leverage and konk out.

Music Rec:

"Help Me, Rhonda" Beach Boys


Oh yeah, and how could I forget about the Swamp People marathon this afternoon, we watched 5 and saved some for tomorrow.

I added "Duck Dynasty" to his DVR list, assuming it's something he would enjoy. Now watch, next time I come home there will be a bunch of episodes of that he'll have saved for me too.

But it's good, I enjoy watching those shows with him. Gotta get my Reality TV fix. Aside from Swamp People all I really watch that's "real life" is The Voice.

And they're bringing it back in the fall but it'll probably have different celebrity coaches, then the regular ones will pick it up in the spring. But it's not The Voice without Adam and Xtina bickering, Blake's southern charm and Cee-Lo hitting on all the women.

We'll see where that goes.

I'm out!

you better change it back or we will both be sorry

VACATION!!

I'm free!!

For two whole days!

The library is closed for Memorial Day so I'm heading out to stay with the parentals for a couple days.

I see reruns of HeeHaw and Swamp People in my future.

Oh well, it could be worse.

At least this way I can kill two birds with one stone - watch HeeHaw and come up with camp skit lyrics at the same time.

Since the parents wanted a repeat of last year when I made the 7th and 8th graders since Where Oh Where, but I gotta give them new verses.

Though Dad already has a bunch written out for me.

So, now I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow is church and some family stuff, after that is more relaxation and I'm guessing a whole lineup of DVR'd stuff I'm supposed to watch while I'm here, so here's your music rec and then I'm out for the night.

And consider yourselves on vacation from Word of the Day.

I'll pick it up Tuesday.

Or Monday night for Tuesday.


"Don't You Want Me Baby" Glee


so if you haven't watched him in the harry potter musical online you're missing out online. youtube it people. it's fantastic. and draco is played by a girl.


that's all i got.

On this lovely bella notte....

I couldn't post last night since our internet was done but I'll try not to ramble on too long tonight.

Anybody do anything special for Memorial Day? I remember, a few years ago, we went to a cemetary with one of my uncles and he was telling this story - apparently, one of our relatives was quite the drinker and the doctor told him it was unhealthy so he should stop. The dude looks at the doctor and says, "I know a lot more old drunks than old doctors." Awesome.

I was actually pretty productive this weekend. I cleaned out a section of my closet, had a camp meeting - led the thing even though i'm the youngest - sent out a bunch of application letters - after stuffing envelopes and writing addresses for a couple hours. Feels good. But the letters are out so I should get more forms this week. Then it'll just be camp central.

I also am on disc #3 out of 14 for Book #7. We have to listen to the audio version and I'll listen to more of that tomorrow between shifts while I clean my apartment....I say in a semi-dream state, it's highly probably that I'll nap instead.

Tonight I went over to oldest sister's house to have dinner and watched I Am Number Four - which I talked about on here earlier. It was the one we went to and didn't know anything about it so we said if it sucked we'd just make commentary. It was surpringly entertaining. Just like Swamp People. "Shoot it Jacob!"

"Work Hard, Play Harder" Gretchen Wilson

love it, and the videos cool with the images projected on the barn.

"Bella Notte" Glee version

been in my head all weekend. love the 1:18 switchover to acapella. although it's not much of a beautiful night tonight. storm central!


alright, i'm out. work tomorrow.
