I Heart Therese

I don't think she knows. Le sigh. Maybe it's the lack of accents. Maybe new shoes will help? ;) I also caught a creative bug last night, so I might make some elaborate e-shoe tonight on the computer. If Wal-mart doesn't eat me first. You can tell that I am still not well. My poor husband! Last night he only got an hour of sleep b/c he could not stop coughing. On top of which is a bad earache. Bacterial infection, I grrr at you. GRRRRRRRRR!

Oscars 2005

I would like to thank the Academy for finishing your awards show on the same day on both coasts. Martin was robbed. The dresses were beautiful. I miss Joan. Honey, what the hell were you doing on the TV Guide channel?

Phlegm Chunks!

[To be sung to the tune of "Fish Heads."] "Phlegm Chunks! Phlegm Chunks! Yummy yummy phlegm chunks! Spit them up! Yum!" That is a new song that I made up! Have you ever been sick boys and girls when you would least like to? No? Well, hop to it! Find someone that looks miserable (on the outside, ‘cuz really they are shouting from glee on the inside) and ask them to cough on you or spit on your juice. Better yet! If a relative that lives with you gets sick, then you probably already are! Yay! Let me tell you what you don’t get to do. You don’t get to go to work and make money. ‘Cuz who needs money to live? (Don’t have to worry about cutbacks from social security either, heheh.) You don’t get to go on your weekend trip with a bunch of nifty friends and play silly games, nosiree. Yay!!! Instead, guess what you DO get!!! For starters, a sore throat. Oh, but it only *starts* as a sore throat. At first you might think that it is only a reaction from all of the sugar that you had the night before, but really it’s the beginning of a bacterial infection. Yum! Good times will be had in your very near future. Don’t worry about having to buy food for the next week ‘cuz you won’t have an appetite until right before you chunk it up. So, I’m looking at some porcelain time in about 20 minutes. Scrumptious pork chop dinner that my sick husband made, ha! You will spend most of your time in bed and develop an overly sensitive spot (to go along with your overly sensitive skin) and although you do need your rest, you would rather sit up against some pillows and get a neck cramp for the rest of the night while watching crappy tv b/c for some reason Cartoon Network decided not to make you feel better by not showing a Venture Brothers marathon. Grrr. To go along with your sore throat, overly sensitive skin, and weak headness you will also have a stiff neck from sinuses, fever, and (the best part :thumbs up: oh yeah) is the chills and hot flashes. You might try to wedge yourself between a hot water bottle and the other warm body in the house only to sweat them out of bed while you are lying there shivering. The next morning (we are only on day three now) you stumble to the phone, call in sick, then wait for your doctor’s office to open so you can humbly request that you be seen by a licenced professional who will wave their diploma before you and heap joyous amounts of good health upon you. Score! You got an appointment and it only took an hour and a half of waiting! After a quick blood sample and some sympathetic listening you learn that you have a "bacterial infection". Yummy. And you get medicine! Yay!!! Once home, with a dose of medicine and some "real food" in your tummy, you drift off to sleep. When you wake up, a hacking cough seems to consume you. And just when you think that there is nothing to stop it...are you ready?...can you feel it?....it’s PHLEGM!!! Heaps of it had been storing up in your stomach for the last few days due to that nasty sore throat. Now, it’s time to get rid of it. It will take about a day of gulping down water and running to the toilet when you *think* your flesh toned, wiggly, juicy little friends are wanting to make their appearance. But, they like to play tricks on you. So, why not leave a book and a pillow by the toilet just in case! ;) By the next day, your chills, sensitive skin, nasea, neck cramp and fever are gone. But, you still have: sore throat, hot flashes, sore head, phlegm, stiff neck, hacking cough and now...SINUS PRESSURE!!! Yes, the pollinated air outside has decided to rehash what you went through two weeks ago. Remember that piercing headache between your eyes? The mounds of pressure on either side of your nose? Well, in case you had forgotten, let’s stroll down memory lane! Surely because you are already ill, a few more symptoms won’t mean anything. According to the doctor, you still have a MINIMUM of two glorious days of this left. Enjoy! **This message brought to you by Col who is attempting to feel better and get back to normal. Thank you to my friend who borrowed his game Pirates to me. It kept me sane during the first long day.**

University of Maine Honors College -- Reading Lists

Just looking at this reading list has expanded my mind. Not only are there books, but movies, songs, and posters. The reading list is divided into majors.

Night Revisited

Finished TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG by Sheri S. Tepper. Wonderful book! Love, love, love. Sims. No, Anya does not need to adopt a baby. Go Team Venture! Drifting off to sleep. Wait! We need to set the alarm two hours earlier! Okay...drifting...so warm...zzzzz. It's 1:30! Good morning! zzzzzzzz Boom! I'm awake? Why are there dancing lights on the bedroom wall? Fumbling towards the bathroom. Back to bed! Yay! Huh...still more dancing lights, I wonder... Ka-BOOM! Gah! It's storming...so nice...mmm...warm bed. zzzzzzzzz Yay! It's 5 am...no, I'm awake. No, really. Mind alert. Trying to squeeze any amount of rest I can before I get up. Still get to work an hour early. No mail today + Weird Al cd's = Happy Col Anyone heard of the "Math Song" by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets? I need the lyrics! Er...equation.... Good thing: husband will be home early and cooking dinner.

Do you have a cheating heart?

Your score = 0 What does your score mean? Loyalty is numero uno for you in love, and you can't imagine settling for anything less. You consider two-timing the lowest of the low, and would probably boot a lover out the moment you caught them in the smallest act of what you consider infidelity - which may or may not fit into other people's definition. It might be a good idea to give some thought to what acts you consider cheating. Some, for example, would feel betrayed if their partner checked out porn, while others wouldn't even blink an eye (or want to join in). How about flirting, hugging, or going to the strippers? If you draw the line at even the most innocent of acts, it's possible that you have a jealousy issue. If you simply demand complete and utter loyalty from a partner, this may work out just fine - as long as you find someone who has the same high standards and keep the doors of communication open.

Do you follow the first date rules?

You follow The Rules to a T, whether it's intentional or not. You likely hold back from sex or getting hammered on the first date, refrain from grilling anyone on their financial status, and avoid chitchat about past love affairs. You may have memorized The Rules and gone on some kind of campaign to apply them to your love life, or they just naturally fit into what you believe in. Whatever the case, consider whether following them so rigidly might be narrowing the criteria for potential dates or even going against your true nature. Love, passion and dating do not always fit into a neat little box, and sometimes breaking (or at least bending) the rules can lead to pleasant surprises. So be sure you're following your heart and not someone else's guidelines!

How naughty are you?

Your score = 20 You definitely lean on the nice side of the naughtiness spectrum... especially when it comes to sexual adventures. You haven't indulged in a lot of the risqué activities presented on the test, and feel confident that you would not get swept away by temptation if you should have the opportunity one day. You likely pride yourself on your sense of decency, and try to do the "right thing" rather than act impulsively. This is a wise, mature approach - as long as it doesn't hold you back from having some fun in the bedroom when in a loving, committed relationship. Sometimes being just a little naughty can actually be quite nice!

Sense of Knowing

I love having epiphanies. Especially epiphanies about people. When you find out the reason why they are afraid of bunnies, or whether they act scary to keep people at a distance, or finding some clue as to how open minded they are. When I lived in the dorms, there was one guy Matt who lived at the end of the hall. He was very quiet, tall and carried his weight in a way that let everyone know not to mess with him. I stayed clear, until one night in the computer lab. I was typing a paper on Emily Dickinson and had a personal volume of her work on the desk. Matt sat down at the computer next to me and said "Oh, Emily Dickinson, I have that book." I stared at him. I stared at him over my glasses as they tilted down my knows accusingly. "Uh huh." I reply, knowingly. "What?" He asks, thinking he crossed some invisible poetic line of privacy. I then revealed how my entire perspective of him had changed. That I recognized the way he acted around other people, but really he was a big softy. He never denied it, and I take great pleasure in the fact that within a year Matt changed his major from Mechanical Engineering (straight A's btw) to English. Boo yeah! An epiphany I had somewhat recently occured with an older woman. I am quite aware of the difference in generational views, so whenever I was first around her I guarded what I said and how I acted. She was quite soft-spoken herself and seemed to shy a little bit around me too. Until I saw it. Very decorative, wrapping around her finger like a ring. It was a tattoo. And, it wasn't a tattoo that she got in her young days, but when she had grandkids. Her not wearing a ring over her tattoo that morning tore down so many walls for me. I immediately struck up a conversation and it has since led to many more wonderful ones. May you recognize any epiphanies walking by you.

Greatest Idea for a TV Show Ever!

What if Dame Edna and "Weird" Al Yankovic got together and did a TV show? It is mind altering!!! I feel the universe opening in ways that I never thought it could be explored. (Especially not by the Event Horizon.) She could throw gladiolas. He could throw stuffed-animal poodles.

Searching

To the person who found my site by googling for "I found a four month old turkey neck in my refridgerator and my gods was it stinky." Use Chlorox wipes. They rock.

Updates

My profile has been updated with new contact (i am also on yahoo! messenger) info & wishlist. Hehehe.... It definitely gives you a few more clues about my personality than are listed here. I HIGHLY recomend that you post yours as well for the good elves of this world with too much time on our hands...as well as limits on our credit cards. My friend's husband seems to be under some kind of happy spell. He has not been mistreating her, but she is still being cautious and planning. Also, he is off of his zyrtec. Coincidence? No, he treated her bad beforehand.

Does Anybody Feel Like Kickin' Some...to say nothing of the kittens

Today’s Thoughts Pirates Golden Skulls http://www.darkdungeons.net/show.html And, I want to start to play role-playing games. I listened to Dark Dungeons today and they have inspired me to play again. It was nice. It is a radio station by gamers. They talk about gaming. Play songs that spoof other songs with topics such at LOTR. I do have a craving now for gaming. And I didn’t get to play Soul Calibur 2 last night. I felt like kickin’ butt last night. However, I kinda did with my words…. I made a suggestion for DC yesterday and got some immediate support from people. According to G., he made the suggestion some time ago and tried to run it that way, but the times are different with different people, different attitudes. We’ll see! There is a game this Saturday, but I need an outlet for random table-top. And now that I have attended my first Dreamweaver’s Guild (http://www.dreamweaversguild.org/) dinner, I feel like I might have a great time playing a game once or month that might quench my need. Or throw some oil on it. I found a lovely picture on http://www.worth1000.com of Yoda as Princess Fiona from SHREK. For some reason, I feel like this describes my current feelings. It will be in one of the Cliches from Hell sections. Part of my dream last night involved putting kittens into two bags (a duffel and a red carpetbag). I put some water on a cardboard plate and some chips in the bags. One bag had like 5 the other one only had the one. I was trying to get home for like Christmas break and trying to get to my car. Apparently we were in England and I lived across the channel in France. A co-worker and I were over at the lady from dooce’s house, taking a tour of her house and playing w/ her babies. The little one got away. We were running all over the neighborhood by the old library looking for her. I think the kitten part has to do with reading Connie Willis’s TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG. I am just over half-way thru with it and it is wonderful! The way that she captures the relationship between cats and dogs is hilarious and quite accurately put. To say nothing of the difference in love affairs between 21st century contemps and 19th century contemps. That and the incongruencies of time travel. Fun times. Noodle salad.

Thinking of moving to another country?

Here is a review of countries for "blue-staters" that are considering leaving the USA.

Misdemeanors & Hostile Number 17

Good morning and Happy St. Valentine’s Day. I’m writing this morning sleepy and dehydrated. Yes I went to a party Saturday night, and although I did not have any sort of alcoholic beverage I did have some of the normal side effects while driving home. (Accident and DUI/DWI aside.) I don’t think my night-blindness was as bad this time (probably b/c I was concentrating quite hard due to the rain and my husband acting so goofy (he had one drink)). And there was a TON of alcohol!!! I brought Igor Bars to the party, and OH MY GODS!!! I had two bites of one bar and that was enough to make me sick!!! This was how I layered the bars: chocolate chip cookie, peanut butter M&M’s, caramel, rice krispie treat, melted semi-sweet chocolate, graham cracker, whipped cream, M&M minis, chocolate hard shell covering, and Sponge Bob Squarepants "Happy Birthday" candies. I think about four pieces total were eaten. Out of a lasagna pan. I’m sorry if I gave you guys a bellyache! (Especially since you were off of your no sugar diet that night….) But G and I had a lot of fun!!! Sunday afternoon we stopped by our other friends house, and they have me so hooked on Karaoke Revolution 3!!! Oh my gods. I just get to sing along to songs and win at stuff. O_o It was really fun hanging out with them. Mario Kart was FUN!!! I never got to play before. Wow!!! I love the ba-bomb version. Especially with four people playing. So many new things this weekend, no wonder why I’m all spacey today :D There was some awkwardness this weekend, but that was well worth what I got in return. I am currently listening to Radio Buffy. There is something about hearing Spike being referred to as Hostile Number 17 that makes me think that we are all numbered as a reference point for others. We are numerically listed in their grievances, in their emotional highs and lows, and as a recipient of their concern and scorn. It makes me think how I rate my friends. If I am rated and whether or not I deserve to be. Especially on this celebratory day of giving tokens of love. I always wondered if that was a reason why St. Valentine’s Day was such a hot issue with some people. Were they worried that they were not worthy of receiving love? I think the majority of us worry about that when we are young. Who was going to show their love to you? Were you supposed to go to great lengths to some and not others? Could you love everyone equally? Were you a bad person if you didn’t? Well, I want all of you to know that you are loved. (The absence of sarcasism is kinda creeping me out, but that is my gift to you.) Now, it's your assignment (ha!) to go out there and find out who it is. Be brave. But not stalker-esque. Commit to speaking your mind. Dare to care about that person that you have ignored or haven't risked to really get to know yet. Have a challenging day.

A Girl Named...

Names have interested me since I was little. Let me put it this way, I used to keep a list of possible names for my kids. I started this list before high school. Lots of Russian or Hawaiian names dominated the list. The older, the better. I was definitely more fantasy than sci/fi when I was little. I would always ask our school librarian if she had any books on unicorns. "Not this week." Couldn’t she just order one? Wasn’t that her job? Anyway, I digress. I’ve had issues over the last couple of years with the way people pronounce my name. Yeah…it’s rather an insignificant thing to bitch about. And it’s pretty much the only claim that I really enjoy taking to my Yankee background. Do you know how annoying it is in the South when someone asks you where you’re from because they just have a certain feeling that you’re not one of them, and when you reply "Chicago" they feel the need to imitate and mock you by saying "Oh yeah, Chi-CAW-go"?! I feel like replying back a la Toot from "Drawn Together": Well, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUH! Spittle and all. Of course, it could have been worse. My maiden name rhymes with "oil" and my parent’s claimed that they were considering naming me Olive Oil or Standard. Good times.

Wish Meme

If I were allowed wishes, I would... Make America less media oriented. Wish for less emphasis on de-idolizing idols. (Treat them as humans, less news about what they did wrong, more on what they did right. Reporters would investigate actual stories and EARN back their integrity.) Wish that people stop blaming each other for pollution, admit that the pollution is affecting our planet and work together to do something about it. Make solar panels cheaper. As well as electric cars. Wish that Americans were expected to work less, allowing for more quality work and time to relax.

Chocolate Fest

February 12th –13th is Chocolate Fest here in Arkansas. I could not find a link, nor have I ever been to the fest in recent years. But if I could run a chocolate fest of my own… It would take place in a place at a big convention center, where there is plenty of space and restrooms and air conditioning. Everyone at the con would get a little freebie bag that includes a travel bottle. There would be lots of milk and a nurse’s station with insulin injections at the ready. And tons of booths! There would be a booth of cocoa bean farmers, but the majority of the room would be filled with booths from local restaurants with tons of free samples from their chefs. The big booths would be from the local bakeries. The afternoon would be filled with do-it-yourself chocolate creations, Chocolate Confectioners Tips, taste test, and chocolate finger painting! At night there would be a grand ball with a Sweet Tooth Award to best Chocolate Dessert Costume. Today's question: What would your Chocolate Dessert Costume look like?

MSNBC - Flintstones Are "Way Too Gay"

I think I could start crying right about now.

You Have the Key

I wanted to thank everyone again for all of the support that they showed last week! I wanted to give you an update about my friend. For reference sake, we'll call her Jenny. Another friend of hers wrote her an AMAZING e-mail, he is allowing it to be posted below. Please do not steal it, although I do hope that you tell your friends who are needing help to get out of the cage that they find themselves in: "Here I go again because I want you to understandsomething. This is your life. You are in a cage. You havebeen looking for a way out of the cage your whole lifeand have never been able to find it. You have foundthat door to get out but it's locked. One day you meetsomeone on the other side of that door and you want himto unlock the cage and let you out. You try and try toget him to let you out, but he does not. He talks toyou, is nice to you and wants nothing from you. He keepstelling you there is nothing more he can do for you,but be that voice on the other side of the door, youget mad at him because he won't let you out and he getsmad at you for being in the cage. So you go back deepinto the cage and ask the people who put you in thecage for help, because you have never been free andthey are all you know, but you know in your heart thatthey really don't care and all you get is lies and theytell you that you don't want to leave the cage becauseyou would not fit in even if you could get out and youshould be happy where you are and you think to yourself "yay they are right I really like the cage andthere are a bunch of us in here and If I get out I willbe all alone and anyway the guy at the door will notlet me out". So you go back to the door and sayto the guy on the other side of the door that he usedyou and betrayed you because he would not let you out,so you will just go back to what you know. He tells youagain that he can't let you out, why? because the dooris locked from the inside and he does not have the keyand has never had a key. He tells you to look in yourpocket. You sit there stunned for a second and put youhand into your pocket and behold the key. Jen you arethe only one who can unlock the door, the only thingholding you back is you believe that you need someoneto let you out. I can not let you out. You are putting your faith in peopleand "I am one of them" people will always let you down.They might not even mean to do it, but they do."

Chinese New Year - 2005 is the Year of Yiyou,

Good morning! We are currently having wisps of snowflakes here. And HUGE PUDDLES OF WATER!!! I got to see some friends last night. I just wished my sinus cavities cooperated. It is my other friend's 30th birthday on Friday. As far as I know, we are just going out to dinner, but I am still not sure what to get her. She's into Celtic history, beading, gardening, so I have a lot to choose from. I just hope I get her something useful. :D And today it is the year of the Rooster. Heheh...a friend I play DC with has a wandrakin named Rooster. So, I find that entirely amuzing. :D My mother's Chinese sign is also the Rooster, so I have a feeling that it might be an eventful year. Seeing as how last year was the year of the Monkey and my grandmother is a Monkey and she moved down to live with my parents, I feel that I can safely say that possibly something extraordinary will occur in my mother's life. In other news, everyone seems to have sinus problems. It's a wacky day. Definitely one of those days in which it is better to stay in bed with the covers over your head. May the rest of your day be swift and painless. Today's question: If you could have a huge pile of ice cream with as many flavors and toppings that you wanted, what would yours have?

Vatican offers course in Satanism and exorcism

Stunning, really.

Mardi Gras

Good morning! I'm glad to say that our house is a little bit cleaner and this week we will be seeing friends. We got a new mattress this weekend!!! Yay!!! No more awful springs trying to spike me at night. Now all that I want to do is go home, slip into comfy pj's and sleep!!! There was so much dust under the bed. I felt horrible. G even broke the vacuum trying to suck up all of that dust. I can't believe all of the junk that we have collected over the last two years. TWO YEARS!!! And we still have a bunch of other junk in the storage shed. This weekend...was a weekend. I finally got the "git up 'n go" that I thought I had lost. I woke up early Saturday, eager and anxious to go out shopping for a new bed. It wasn't as fun as I had hoped, but we got the job done. I feel like no matter how much I clean and organize, nothing gets done. There are just more piles of junk. Will the piles go away when we get a house? Go see my dream from last night here. My question for you: How would you celebrate the day?

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Global warming the key to life on Mars

Reading this article makes me giggle. Think about it. We are going to *purposely* use global warming to create life. CREATE LIFE! Get it? heheheheheh....

Random Fantasies

1. We all leave work. Get on the bus. Go to the theatre. Get popcorn and other various snacks. See a cruddy movie. Like "Boogeyman". Go back to work. 2. A waitress brings me a plate of tiramisu. 3. A bouquet of orchids, gladiolas, lillies, roses, babies breath, and cornflowers arrives at my cubbie. No card. 4. The Earth goes into automatic springtime for 3 hours every afternoon. All mornings are rainy/misty. Dawn is nice. 5. At precisely 1:53 pm, every 123rd person turns into a vampire for 6 minutes and 49 seconds. During that time a horrible craving for red Kool Aid overtakes them. They drink it until they look like Kool-Aid face from BTVS season 1. 6. Silly Symptoms will no longer exist. You know, where you're sick. But there isn't anything seriously wrong with you. It's just enough to knock you on your butt, but nothing really to keep you from working. Yet, when you work, it makes you even more tired. And when you're at home, you get bored and want to do something to make you prove to yourself that you are an actual life form instead of lying there like an amoeba. Yeah, silly symptoms suck. 7. Everyone will get a new pair of pretty, yet comfortable, shoes (in the correct size) that will magically appear on their doorstep. They also go with every outfit and fit every occasion. At night they will go back to the Cobbler Mage. 8. At 4pm everyone takes a siesta. The buildings turn a Tuscan orange that explodes over (the newly turned) Agean blue streets. People lounge in swings, hammocks, and green Adirondeck chairs. The birds chirp us to sleep.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Feisty. Feisty. Feisty. What has inspired me to be so feisty today? My friend telling me about how controlling her husband is. Examples: He controls the money. He keeps track of her mileage. He asks her several questions every day when she gets home from work to find out who she has seen, spoken with, and whether or not she "acted professional" at work. He tells her that she is ugly, is too old to start over, has no prospects, and that no one would hire her if she were to quite b/c she doesn’t have a degree. She is not allowed to go to school b/c she might meet someone. She is not allowed to have friends. She is not allowed to trust anyone besides him. She is not allowed to call anyone. He wants her to get pregnant. He throws a tantrum, a serious tantrum, if she puts her hair into braids. She tried to leave him once before, but he went to her work and threatened to kill himself if she didn’t go back with him. And there is much, much more. But, on the bright side…she is planning on leaving him. So, because I know how wonderful all of my readers out there are I know that you will be enthusiastic in joining me in writing her encouraging messages to LEAVE THE BASTARD!!! Please leave all of your encouraging messages in my comments section so that I can send them to her. She is working on a plan so I’m sure that she would welcome any advice. The great thing is that she already has a couple of friends who have offered her a place to stay and a job when she leaves. They have also offered to go back to her house w/ her (including a sheriff/deputy) to collect the remainder of her things. I have also strongly suggested a restraining order.
