They love to tell you stay inside the lines, but somethings better on the other side.

I forgot to post last night.

Literally just forgot.

Geez.

To be fair, I was distracted...I'm hooked on Leverage. I finished season one from the library and now put a hold on seasons two and three, and I'm hoping they'll get here soon.

Kind of a cliffhanger. But I know what happens. Sort of. Cause they're still, you know, functioning three seasons later.

It's a good show. Quite humorous. Sophie's accents amuse me. Although they make me want to speak like that, and it's messing with my head.

Things from today and tomorrow. I hate driving on ice. Two days ago it wouldn't have been a problem. From yesterday and today, it's been ridiculous.

8 things in the ditch on the way back from class. One semi. The rest were SUV's. Which is actually hysterical since people pay so much more for their traction and all that. No cars. Hmm...

Then there was today, and just ugh.

I used to love snow. Sledding on the farm behind a 4 wheeler and all that.

Now not so much.

At least class and Grams thing today was fun.

Last class of the semester so I'm done until January.

Final Quotes:

Professor: "Don't be looking at your crackberry in a meeting."

Classmate: "This is a sandwich that it's not nice to be in."

Classmate about prof's office: "It's cold in there."
Professor: "I do that so people don't stay."

Professor about my name: "I remembered cause I thought of the blood on your head."
Me: "See, Stephen King, minus the pigs blood. It works."

Me about NLA: "I was just stoked to be surrounded by fellow nerds." and I was. they had presenters come in to talk to us about joining and asked about our experiences of going for the first time. green bags and nametags. pretty sure the people without them thought we were in some kind of cult. i laughed.

Classmate: "APA. I'm not a fan."
Professor: "Nobody is."

Classmate: "B-hag. It's a big hairy ambition goal."

Freaking Shackleton. I can tie everything to him now.


Then today we went to Grams for a Holiday tea thing. Santa was there. Joked around with our table for a while.

Santa sans suit: "Santa says you don't like spinach so you're gonna get it for lunch on Monday."
Grams: "He's gonna get it back in his face!"

and my aunt from the other side of the family came along, she's always hilarious. We were talking old family stories and some other goofy things.

"She left with the truck and Tommy still misses...the truck."
"She was the winner in that situation."
"She deserved the truck."
"And a load to go with it."


Funny stuff. I'm gonna focus on that today. The rest was kind of crappy.

So I'll watch Leverage again from the start. Only 4 discs so it didn't last very long. I'm hoping the next couple seasons have more. The special features are pretty detailed so that's cool.

Alright. So yesterday would have been N. Right? Which makes today O as well.

Let's see what I got.

N-Recs
Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye - Steam


which just reminds me of this:

Remember the Titans

people are all about ryan gosling being some underrated heartthrob, but this is what i associate him with. number 48. nice dance moves.

which led me to this:


one of the best scenes. love it. sunshine...
yeah. twelve sounds better.

No Such Thing - Josh Mayer

one of my favorites from high school

O-Recs

Oh Carol - Neil Sedaka

another high school inside joke. but i like it cause it makes me laugh.

Only You - Joshua Radin

singing with priscilla ahn, mentioned here: My Life in Closed Captions: It's just been one of those, one of those days...
love the remake.


out. long day tomorrow. long week actually. back to leverage.

Cause Lord Knows I'm a Rolling Stone

"Wedding cake freezes, this we know."
"Runaway Bride" I love it. 7/10 on the Scale of Awesome. Maggie - Runaway Bride - Carpenter leaves grooms at the alter, so far there's been 3 with another wedding about to happen. Ike the New York reporter finds this story to hard to pass up so he completely bashes her and loses his job. In search of vindication he goes to meet her and prove that he was right, meanwhile finding out all about the true her and why she left all those men.
Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Joan Cusack

I forgot that Christopher Meloni is one of the grooms.
I think I like them better together in this one than I do in Pretty Woman. It's like a reunited cast, seriously.
Plus Joan Cusack is hilarious. Sketch is a big fan of that family - mostly because of Gross Pointe Blank. "I'm taking down the office now!" Maybe that'll be next on my list tomorrow night.

"Cheer. Normal."

I love split shift. I can take naps, I can watch movies, I can run errands - this time I cleaned my apartment. I even spot-cleaned the place. Not that it needed it, although I'm clumsy and Carter is Carter. Carter hates the vacuum. Scares the crap out of him. Runs and hides.

Then watched some Scooby doo. They have this Mystery Incoporated series, it's actually pretty funny. Although it has Shaggy and Velma as a couple plus Daphne fawning all over Fred - which I guess is normal. Just weird to actually see them as teenagers and you know, people with lives other than purely focusing on mystery solving. Did it used to be that way and I was just too young to notice? I thought it was purely mystery stuff without all that relationship drama. Will have to look for the original series through interlibrary loan or something.

"I think I am profoundly and irreversibly screwed up."


Songs of the night: It's jam out time.

"Runaway Baby" - Bruno Mars

wasn't really a fan before but after listening to his whole album i'm loving it.

"Only You" - Josh Kelley

yes that's Katherine Heigl and yes they're married now. I think I posted that a while ago but just in case you didn't already know.


Tomorrow is coming faster than I thought it would which means I should sleep. Gonna pick up NCIS season 8 after work, huzzah!

Just like jam and bread or maybe birds of a feather...

Time: 10:30ish
Location: Couch
Attitude: Tired

Tired. But good tired. Life is kind of all over the place lately so had to take a break and relax - hung out with my awesome friend and went to see the "Lincoln Lawyer". It was actually pretty good, I'd give it a 7/10 on my Scale of Awesome. Matthew McConaughey, Josh Lucas, Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy - I was surprised by him in that role I didn't think it would fit but it was good. Interesting plots twists, I liked it. I've always though that Josh Lucas and Matthew McConaughey were actually really similar because of the roles that they usually play - You know the dumb guys that women run away from and then come back to, and then the inspiring coaches, plus they look similar so it was funny to see them both together in a courtroom.
Oh, and forgot from before, Sunday also went to see "I Am Number Four" you know, just meaning to eat milk duds and make commentary but it was actually really good. I might even cave and read the book, just cause I want to know what happens in the rest of the series. I'm gonna give it a 9/10 on the S.O.A. Quinn as Sarah was kinda funny. But she pulled it off, I didn't see her as the cheerleader she is on Glee. or former cheerleader of whatever.

Another fun thing coming up - SCHOOL MUSICAL! got the script sunday, casted it today, going out for our first practice tomorrow. Don't have a lot of time this year, we're doing it in early May so it's gonna be a lot to learn in a short amount of time. Plus we don't have a regular schedule this year, it was easy when I had the same classes every week so we knew when I'd be free to go out there. This year my work schedule's all over the place so we only know so far in advance and then if I'm free sometime they might not be. But we'll figure it out.

Did anyone else used to watch that show on Nickelodeon, "Figure it out" hosted by Summer Sanders? where the kids come and they've like invented something or accomplished something big or whatever and then there was a celebrity panel who had to guess what it was and if they didn't they'd get slimed? I just remember Amanda Bynes always asking if they had slapped themselves with liver.

Sorry, mind all over the place.


Quotes of the day:
-"Okay, maybe one point."
-"124, I'll take it!"
current work score - got to work with superwoman this morning. she said i did good but didn't give me any points cause apparently that would be too easy. but finally she gave in and gave me one when she was leaving this afternoon so i felt special.

-then there was an interesting story about a mouse which I won't share as it is not mine but was totally funny.


"Birds of a Feather" The Rosenbergs

Love this song. They don't have an official video but its the song that counts.


"Only You" by Josh Kelley

Yes that is Katherine Heigl and yes they are married now.

had nachos for supper at the theater. should probably eat something resembling real food before i konk out. it's not going to be a slow day tomorrow. work in the morning. then practice. okay driving to practice, then practice, then driving back from practice, then back to work for the night shift, then come home and crash. body of proof will be on, hooray!
but i love the musical. last year's wasn't a musical so i guess i can't call it that, we'll go with grade school play. not a lot of kids this year so i might have to learn lines of my own, that's still being decided.

Have a good one.
