that was an actual sentence that someone said to me today. it was a true sentence. and it was serious. i laughed pretty freaking hard. "straight up chillin with some raccoons." how many times do you think you'll hear that again in your lifetime? think about it. yeah, now it's funny.
anyways.
today was a good day. busy as always. i walked downstairs to go to work and as soon as i stepped in the door i hear, "hi julie!" it was the 18 month old. she was eating a banana. it was very cute.
things were pretty normal, i suppose. speaking of the 18 month old. omg, it was so funny. we were all at the dinner table, and of course she's got food all over her face. and her mom was feeding her little sister food. and she turns to her mom and yells, "I NEED A WIPE!" only, she can't really say the 'w' sound, so it sounded like this, "I NEED A YIPE!" we were all laughing really hard. and so her mom would say, "what do you need?" "I NEED A YIPE!!!" it was really funny.
and after her bath, she runs into the staff office, and me, courtney and jamie are all sitting in there. and she turns to each of us and says, "hi julie! hi courtney! hi jamie!" and so we all say hello back. and then she says, "i need some milk!" so then her mom brings her in her sippy cup with milk. and she's walking around all sassy with the cup. and finally she goes over to the couch and says, "i'm gonna get up here. i'm gonna lay down on this pillow." and so, she climbs onto the couch, lays down on the pillow and says, "goodnight!" and so we all say goodnight. and then her mom says, "let's go to your crib!" so, she gets off the couch and says, "goodnight! see you in the morning!"
her verbal skills are cr-azy. she can say anything. she's sooooo adorable.
and the newborn baby was pretty cranky tonight. his mom called me down twice to her room to try and get him back to sleep. after the second time, i came back upstairs, made supper and had just sat down to watch Heroes, when she called me down again because he was cranky.
and he was pretty cranky. or, he was being a little 'fussmuffin' as i like to say. it took us awhile to calm him back down. i think he might have had a little upset belly. but finally i got him to sleep, rocking him. but the minute i put him in his bassinet, he woke up again. so, i stood there for like, 10 minutes rocking the bassinet. his mom had climbed back into bed and was asleep.
ah well.
and then! to top it all off, i came back upstairs and who was asleep in the spot where i was sitting? Miss Ruby Tuesday. and i had no way of knowing if she ate any of my supper. she probably did because i had yogurt and a chicken salad sandwich. and i had already given her a little yogurt. it was raspberry flavored. she loved it.
OH! i have to tell you about the tv survey!!!!! nobody reminded me, but i remembered on my own!!!!
SO! member how a few weeks ago i got that random tv survey by the Nielsen people? and they sent me $2 as a thank you for doing the survey. which was like, one question.
WELL.
i got this huge freaking envelope from them in the mail the other day and i thought, "oh geeze, what the heck is this?" i thought it would be the totally boring results from the survey. but, it was not.
it was a tv diary that they want me to keep starting THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29 and going until NEXT WEDNESDAY. and it's super specific. like,
1. write down all the members of your household, their genders, ages, and how many hours a week they work
2. next to the appropriate time (in fifteen minute increments) write the program you watched, the channel you watched it on, how long you watched it for, and WHO in your household watched it.
3. if the tv is on in the house, but no one is watching it, check the correct box.
and it's like, alllllll this super specific information. and, i feel kind of bad, because something i must have written in the first survey made them believe that i could actually watch tv. and, i can't.
ok, here's what i think happened: in the first survey the question was, "is there a working tv in your home?" and i debated it. because, 'yes' there is a working television set, but 'no' i cannot watch tv on it. so, i checked yes. and i think that was the problem.
so, i can't decide what to do. i mean, there's an option that says, 'no tv was watched during this time.' but, i feel bad checking that option. i think i'll bring the diary home with me this weekend and maybe do it then.
but! here's the best part. and also the part that makes me feel guilty about not doing the diary.
so, the first time i got $2. member how freaking excited i was? FREE $2. well. folks. THIS TIME. guess how much they sent in that envelope. i bet you'll never guess.
THIRTY DOLLARS. $30. for those of you playing at home, that's a $20 bill and a $10 bill.
YEAH. wow, right? i could not believe it. i just won thirty bucks, basically for doing nothing. ACTUALLY, more like, thirty-two bucks. now, maybe $32 doesn't seem like a lot of money to you, but to a member of the lower middle class such as i, it's like winning the lottery.
i like having these Neilsen people as my friends. i should keep them around.
but also, i kind of hope that i'm the only person they are asking to take this survey. because, i also don't like to think that they have say, 10,000 surveys out in this country, all with $30 in them. because that's way too much money just to have laying around. PLUS postage both ways.
soooo, yeah. that's part 2 of my tv survey. if i turn in the completed survey ontime, i wonder what my next gift will be!?!? as Veronica would say, "......A PONY?!!?"
aAAAAHHHHHHHH five more hours of work and then i'm on mini-vacation!!!!! known as two days off. man, it's hard working 7 days a week. 16.5 hours a day. i shouldn't complain. i bet lots of people in this country who don't get sent 30 free dollars have to work waaaay harder than i do for waaaayyyy longer hours.
oh! speaking of Veronica Mars. last night, i had a dream about Duncan and Lily Kane. they are two characters on the tv show. Duncan is Veronica's ex-boyfriend. and Lily is his sister, Veronica's best friend, who was murdered. i can't remember what the dream was about. only that they were there. weird.
ok. i have to tidy up the apartment a little bit. and i know i should do it tonight because i'll never wake up in time to do it in the morning. my plan is to leave here at 11.
oh. here's another thing that happened at work tonight.
so, one of the residents was for some reason, showing off her bottle of shampoo. it was Herbal Essences. it was a kind of fancy bottle with swirly looking shampoo. and she wanted to show us how the shampoo looked, not in the bottle. so, she squeezed some out onto her hand.
and then, she had this huge glob of shampoo in her hands. and what does she do? start playing with it. and it's gross. and then she decides to smear a tiny bit on Jamie's cheek, and on my cheek. great! it smelled really good, actually.
and, i was basically holding the newborn all night, so i kind of forgot about the shampoo on my cheek. and it dried up and everything. and then i totally forgot about it.
UNTIL. like, a couple hours later, the mom of the newborn says, "um, what's the matter with your cheek? and i'm like, "what do you mean?" and she says, "there's a bright red spot." and, sure enough, there was a bright red spot where the shampoo was. and the bright red spot, slowly turned into a bright red cheek. which slowly turned into a slightly swollen, bright red cheek. awesome.
it's all better now. but, it was crazy. i was like, "awesome. my face is gonna swell up." but, just one side. and just a little. and, like i said, it's all better now.
what have i learned from this? that i am glad to spend the extra money on my Burt's Bees shampoo that is 97% natural and not totally full of strange chemicals that i am allergic to. same with conditioner.
except when i create my own Vomditioner. on the day that Jason Schwartzman gets married.
it kind of sucks that anytime i think of "jason schwartzman married" i will think of the word "vomditioner."
OH! and something freaking else. MY EFFING EARRING IS DRIVING ME INSANE. so, for like, a week, my earring finally stopped hurting. this was last week. and i was so happy. 'finally!' i thought, 'my earring will stop hurting!" i think this everytime my earring stops hurting. and then everytime it starts again i think, 'DAMN YOU EARRING. I HATE YOU.'
so, tonight, when i couldn't stand my ear hurting any longer, i finally went into the bathroom and checked it out. and lo and behold, there is another freaking tiny blister RIGHT under my earring back. i was so mad.
WHY WHY WHY can't it just get better and STOP being crazy and START being normal. i have had this piercing almost 9 months. for realz. why is my body rejecting this piercing?!?!
maybe i'm allergic to the metal. what kind of metal is this?
i mean, there was a period of time where i was cleaning it with the ear cleaner like, 4 times a day.
ok. so, i just took a long feeding break. it's currently 4:36am. i have to go to bed soon. forget the "tidying." that very quickly turned into, "where can i throw stuff so it looks cleaner?" yeah. happens a lot around here.
anyways. the feeding went well. he was a hungry boy. ate 3.5 ounces! and, he only had one really good burp, so i told his mom,
JULIE: If he wakes up fussy, first check his diaper, and then I would try burping him some more, because he might have another burp.
MOM: Or I could call you.
JULIE: Or you could try those things first!
MOM: And then I can call you?
JULIE: .....Yes.
MOM: When he cries 'mama,' I cry 'Julie!'
i thought that was funny. he cries mama. i cry julie. i think the baby likes me.
ok. maybe i'll just try to pack my clothes tonight. so that in the morning, i will just throw things around so it looks cleaner.
oh man. Ruby Tuesday is so cute right now. i wish you could see.
wait a sec. i think there's a way to send photos from my phone to the blog. i think i set it up when i set up the telephone blogging. um, hold on. the photo will probably appear in the entry above this. i'm gonna try it.
ok! so, goodnight. i don't know when i'll talk to you next. i'll be cooped up inside watching tv and filling out my tv diary until next wednesday.
happy friday!!!!! have a great weekend.
<3!

sleeping with the television and all the lights on
Grey's Anatomy is just too emotional for me. it chokes me up every time. just watched last week's episode. man. again. know what i love about the show, though? Mark and Lexi. i just really like them. together and separate. when Lexi first came on the show i HATED her. but now i think she's awesome.
know who i don't like? ALL the new people. ESPECIALLY the girl with the creeper eyes from Heroes. i think her name is Reed. and i can't remember what it was on Heroes. she was like, all flirty with Mohinder. she lived in the apartment across from his dad. and then she was secretly working with HRG. and then she ended up trying to bring down Sylar when they had him trapped in that room. but duh, he killed her. i think she had this mind power thing. is that right? and then she pointed the gun at him, but he overpowered her mind power thing, and she shot herself? is that what happened???
i want to say that her name was Morgan. but i don't think that's it at all. anyways. i'm annoyed she's on Grey's now.
hm. what else.
so, tonight, wednesday night, i'm working 3:30 until 10pm. and we're all going out for dinner. i think we're going to a chinese place. it's a birth dinner. whenever one of the girls gives birth, everybody goes out for a big dinner to celebrate. good deal for me because i'm working tomorrow! it's going to be a big crowd:
- me
- courtney
- jamie (intern)
- kristin
- resident 1
- resident 2
- resident 3
- 18 month old
- 8 month old
- 2.5 week old
fun times.
so, i took a nap tonight. i was on the phone with my mom for a while, and we were talking about the film, Milk. and so, when i got off the phone i thought, "hm, now i want to watch Milk." and i watched most of it, and then decided i was too tired. so, at 7pm, i stopped it. Ruby was already asleep on my legs. and i set my phone alarm clock for 7:30. and slept for half an hour!
it was great. then i woke up and took a bath. then went to work.
then came back upstairs. JUST as i was finished making supper, the baby started crying and i had to go downstairs.
was gone for about 40 minutes.
came back up. reheated my supper. watched Freaks and Geeks. it was the episode where Seth Rogen has a crush on the tuba girl. and Nick and Lindsey are still in love with each other. and Sam meets up with Neil's dad hugging the strange woman in the mall. drama! so good. i have another disc arriving tomorrow!!!! along with the first disc of the third season of Veronica Mars.
i was thinking about Entourage tonight. specifically Jeremy Piven. mmmm. how i miss those boys.
i'm going to try and get up and make it to the post office to get those disc. maybe get a coffee too. that will be motivating.
also, i decided that before the winter i am going to get my boots nice and cleaned up. it will be a reward for working so many hours. (in addition to the new laptop...)
so, i have these teal winter boots. i don't know what they are. maybe they're suede. i don't know. they're super warm and wonderful. OH i love them. they are winter boots, in the shape of cowboy boots. AND they are teal.
but, sometime last year while they were still in Maine, one of the cats peed on them. it was gross. and on top of that, the soles have holes in them and water leaks in.
onetime i even resorted to wrapping my feet in plastic bags so i could wear the boots. that's how much i love them.
but they smell. and all the various cleaning products i have tried to use to clean them have just not worked. so, they need to be re-dyed. and re-soled. and majorly cleaned.
so! after searching online, i have found a place that i think i will take them too. possibly next week.
Lenoci's Shoe and Leather Repair. in Rutland, Vermont. a little bit of a hike. about 40 minutes away. but it's a really pretty drive through the mountains and around rivers.
it sounds like a pretty cool place. i'm not expecting it to be cheap, but i'm expecting it to be totally worth it.
so that will be my adventure for next week. i'm excited to treat my boots to a makeover. oh, i love those boots.
aannnddddd......i think the baby is waking up. he's making little "wake up" noises.
ok. on that note, i will be off.
happy birthday today to matilda ledger! she turns the big 4!
have a great day!!! i'll talk to you later!

"go for super-stud!"
oh man. just watched two episodes of Freaks and Geeks. so funny. one was the one where Bill, Sam, and Neil prank call the gym teacher. well, really only Bill. i was laughing so hard at the very beginning when they weren't getting picked for the baseball team. and bill was like, "pick me! pick me!" oh, it was so funny.
and then i watched the one where Sam buys that suit to impress Cindy. that blue jumpsuit. and he feathers his hair. haha! and Lindsey re-joins the mathletes. that was really funny. i really liked James Franco in that episode. actually, i really like him in the show in general.
anyways. today was a pretty lame day, i guess. i bought another pair of headphones that i don't like. i'm not happy about that.
i watched 3/4 of Revolutionary Road. i just felt like it. it made me really mad because there was a trailer for The Curious Snoozefest of Benjamin Button. and it brought back all my Pitt-hatred/Oscar bitterness.
it just doesn't make sense. WHY WHY WHY was Leo not even nominated?!?? HOW HOW HOW could they do that?!??!
ugh WHEN I AM PRESIDENT OF THE ACADEMY, i will be handing out Honorary Oscars for these injustices.
but i'm not going to get all wound up.
but! i'm super excited that Ricky Gervais is hosting the Globes!!!! THE GLOBES!!!! there hasn't been a host of the Globes since 1995! and they're bringing it back!!!! i think he'll be great. I love the Golden Globes. it's such a party. nominations come out on 15 november, i think!!
geeze. what will be nominated?? Zac Efron best actor musical or comedy. 17 again. he gets my vote. Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas win for best actor in a tv comedy series.
Zac Efron and The Jonas Brothers. there ya go.
seriously though, i wonder what will be nominated? it's gonna be so weird. 5 best picture noms at the globes. and then 10 at the oscars? like, what is the point??? they're just gonna throw in a bunch of crap.
i bet Away We Go will be nominated for Best Original Screenplay. at the Oscars. you heard it here first.
didn't do very much today. ran errands. came back here. hung out. showered. went to work. watched Freaks and Geeks.
i still keep thinking it's one day ahead of what it really is. because today i was so excited because tomorrow i can watch Heroes on Netflix. but then like, hours later, i remembered that it was only monday. and not tuesday. i like Heroes. i think it's good so far. but, i also loved the 3rd season.
wouldn't it be awesome if Jason Schwartzman was nominated for best original score?!!?!? for Funny People?!!!?! that would rock! i'm back to talking about the Academy Awards. OR! if he was nominated for Best Actor in a TV Comedy series. AAAHHHH!!!! that's the Globes.
he made the Sound Bites in Entertainment Weekly last week. i WAS SO EXCITED. it was this quote that his character said,
"In my heart I'm a vegan, in my mouth I lack discipline."
man, i wish people were still illegally uploading the episodes to youtube. i hope HBO didn't read about it in my blog and then went and tracked the people down. nah, i doubt HBO people are reading my blog.
IF YOU'RE READING MY BLOG AND WORK FOR HBO - show yourself!
also, i love Entourage. please release the current season on DVD asap.
i think it's pretty rad that Bored to Death got picked up for a second season after ONLY 3 episodes!!! hey, the people love it.
Jason is going to be in NYC doing some panel discussion in a few weeks. tickets are only like, 20 bucks or something. MAN wouldn't that be awesome? um, yeah. maybe he'll be in New York when Kara and i go see Rooney. and maybe he'll feel like popping over to Cambridge to play some Coconut Records. um yeah, i would die. i could die happy.
1. I saw the Kate and Leo movie
2. Kate won her Oscar
3. Jason and Robert jamming together?
yep.
actually. there's still a lot of things i want to do before i die. i haven't figured them out yet, though. does that count? i know they're there.
i think i want to be a music star. like, i want to play concerts. actually, i probably wouldn't like that.
i don't know what i want to be. besides, president of the usa, president of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences, security guard for a major studio lot, lighthouse keeper, location scout, and tv series dvd decider.
the tv series dvd decider is the job title that i just made up for the person who decides where to cut off the dvds at the really good moments. i still don't believe it's purely math-related.
i can't remember all the other jobs i want to be.
whoa, it's 4am! yikes.
last night i got into bed at 3:45am. i lay awake until 4:15am. then got up for a baby feeding. went back to bed at 5am. and finally fell asleep.
oh! i want to own a video store. duh! and wear a cardigan.
today i was driving and suddenly thought of Nell Arnold. my writing teacher/div 2 chair. and i thought of her funky style. i need to put my div 3 in the library.
so, Firefox keeps crashing. it's crashed like, probably 10 times tonight. and my whole computer crashed once tonight.
i should watch Crash, while my computer is crashing, while listening to Dave Matthew Band's Crash Into Me.
it's like the Phantom Planet blog video, Sparks x4, where they are driving through Sparks, Nevada, and Alex is drinking the drink Sparks, sparking a lighter and listening to the band Sparks. it's a classic.
Alex and Darren have been having the craziest, funniest tweets on Twitter lately.
ok. this crashing is seriously getting annoying. thank god for automatic blog saving. or else this entry would be lost one thousand times over.
watched Hannah Montana tonight. has anyone seen the opening credits??? i think they are totally different. it's crazy. also, i didn't even recognize Lily. her best friend. she got all glam.
but man, the Jackson-Billy Ray Cyrus interaction still gets me. they are so funny. and i love watching the Disney channel because they have lots of commercials for Jonas. sunday nights at 8:30, i believe.
okay. my eye hurts. i have to go put eye drops in. and while i'm in my bedroom, i'll probably go to bed.
so! i'll talk to you later. sorry nothing exciting has been happening. hope you are well. it's always nice talking to you.
love!
and then i watched the one where Sam buys that suit to impress Cindy. that blue jumpsuit. and he feathers his hair. haha! and Lindsey re-joins the mathletes. that was really funny. i really liked James Franco in that episode. actually, i really like him in the show in general.

didn't do very much today. ran errands. came back here. hung out. showered. went to work. watched Freaks and Geeks.
i still keep thinking it's one day ahead of what it really is. because today i was so excited because tomorrow i can watch Heroes on Netflix. but then like, hours later, i remembered that it was only monday. and not tuesday. i like Heroes. i think it's good so far. but, i also loved the 3rd season.
wouldn't it be awesome if Jason Schwartzman was nominated for best original score?!!?!? for Funny People?!!!?! that would rock! i'm back to talking about the Academy Awards. OR! if he was nominated for Best Actor in a TV Comedy series. AAAHHHH!!!! that's the Globes.
he made the Sound Bites in Entertainment Weekly last week. i WAS SO EXCITED. it was this quote that his character said,
"In my heart I'm a vegan, in my mouth I lack discipline."
man, i wish people were still illegally uploading the episodes to youtube. i hope HBO didn't read about it in my blog and then went and tracked the people down. nah, i doubt HBO people are reading my blog.
IF YOU'RE READING MY BLOG AND WORK FOR HBO - show yourself!
also, i love Entourage. please release the current season on DVD asap.
i think it's pretty rad that Bored to Death got picked up for a second season after ONLY 3 episodes!!! hey, the people love it.
Jason is going to be in NYC doing some panel discussion in a few weeks. tickets are only like, 20 bucks or something. MAN wouldn't that be awesome? um, yeah. maybe he'll be in New York when Kara and i go see Rooney. and maybe he'll feel like popping over to Cambridge to play some Coconut Records. um yeah, i would die. i could die happy.
1. I saw the Kate and Leo movie
2. Kate won her Oscar
3. Jason and Robert jamming together?
yep.
actually. there's still a lot of things i want to do before i die. i haven't figured them out yet, though. does that count? i know they're there.
i think i want to be a music star. like, i want to play concerts. actually, i probably wouldn't like that.
i don't know what i want to be. besides, president of the usa, president of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences, security guard for a major studio lot, lighthouse keeper, location scout, and tv series dvd decider.
the tv series dvd decider is the job title that i just made up for the person who decides where to cut off the dvds at the really good moments. i still don't believe it's purely math-related.
i can't remember all the other jobs i want to be.
whoa, it's 4am! yikes.
last night i got into bed at 3:45am. i lay awake until 4:15am. then got up for a baby feeding. went back to bed at 5am. and finally fell asleep.
oh! i want to own a video store. duh! and wear a cardigan.
today i was driving and suddenly thought of Nell Arnold. my writing teacher/div 2 chair. and i thought of her funky style. i need to put my div 3 in the library.
so, Firefox keeps crashing. it's crashed like, probably 10 times tonight. and my whole computer crashed once tonight.
i should watch Crash, while my computer is crashing, while listening to Dave Matthew Band's Crash Into Me.
it's like the Phantom Planet blog video, Sparks x4, where they are driving through Sparks, Nevada, and Alex is drinking the drink Sparks, sparking a lighter and listening to the band Sparks. it's a classic.
Alex and Darren have been having the craziest, funniest tweets on Twitter lately.
ok. this crashing is seriously getting annoying. thank god for automatic blog saving. or else this entry would be lost one thousand times over.
watched Hannah Montana tonight. has anyone seen the opening credits??? i think they are totally different. it's crazy. also, i didn't even recognize Lily. her best friend. she got all glam.
but man, the Jackson-Billy Ray Cyrus interaction still gets me. they are so funny. and i love watching the Disney channel because they have lots of commercials for Jonas. sunday nights at 8:30, i believe.
okay. my eye hurts. i have to go put eye drops in. and while i'm in my bedroom, i'll probably go to bed.
so! i'll talk to you later. sorry nothing exciting has been happening. hope you are well. it's always nice talking to you.
love!
25 October 2009
like the smell of spring on a shifting wind
i have a stomach ache right now. it's weird. i wish i didn't have it.
i'm also pretty aggravated right now. UGH. i just want to go home. sometimes it's just way too much dealing with all this drama. i also want to take the newborn baby and make him my own. because i love him and he's so beautiful.
also, i just figured out my timesheet. here are the results: in the past two weeks (that's 14 days) i have worked a grand total of:
GRAND TOTAL = 191.25 hours.
one hundred ninety one point two five. that's how many hours i have worked. BY FAR the most i have ever worked since arriving here. or, in my life.
the least amount of hours in one day was = 2.25
the most amount of hours in one day was = 18.75
ugh i don't feel good. my stomach really hurts.
let's see. what else. i had a pear tonight. i'm thinking that maybe that's why my stomach hurts. it was a good pear. i washed it off. but maybe i missed some chemicals.
went grocery shopping tonight with one of the residents. man, it was a long list. and it was a frustrating experience. i kind of felt like the bad guy alllllll night long. right up until about 20 minutes ago! great.
it was funny because at the grocery store, one of the balloons that are tied by the check-out lanes had escaped. and there was like, a team of employees sent to retrieve the balloon. and they even had this long, complicated balloon-retrieving device handy. it was a sight to behold.
and there was this really attractive man in a nice teal shirt that walked by the aisle we were standing in twice. so, we had to stop in an aisle and feed the baby. and so we were standing in this aisle for like, 20 minutes. and this well dressed guy in a teal shirt walked by twice. he was handsome.
man i'm really cold.
i'm so glad i don't have anything to do tomorrow. meaning today. monday. well, i have to run two errands. one to the post office. and one to the grocery store. AW no. i have to go to wal mart too. UUUGGHHHH. i guess i could do that tuesday night. ugh i should just do it tomorrow. AFTER i sleep in a lot.
ugh i'm just in a not-great mood right now. i should go to bed. it's 2:24am. geeze, where did the time go?!?!
well, i was downstairs working until almost 11:30pm. and then back up here. and then back down for a feeding at 12:45am. and then i didn't come back up until like, probably almost 2am.
i also had to go down to the office to drop off my timesheet and while i was down there, one of the girls asked if i could do a french braid. ah, what the heck. she had just dyed her hair. and it's super long and thick.
maybe i'll get into bed. then i might be warm. geeze i'm freezing. i hope i'm not getting sick. tonight we thought one of the girls might have swine flu. but, it doesn't really seem like that anymore. we also thought one of the little girls might have pink eye.
there's like, a gallon container of germ-x in every room here. basically this house is like one of those plates of bacteria that you experiment on in science class. there are soo many germs.
and i hate using germ-x. it creeps me out. and it's not good for you anyways. and it annoys me that that's all they use at hospitals now. NOBODY washes their hands anymore! it's all germ-x.
also - what's with the new facebook layout? it doesn't make any sense.
so, the resident that i'm monitoring has just started listening to real music at nighttime and not baby music. and, she has this playlist on her ipod that is all country songs. and there are maybe like, 10 or 15 songs. and she has it on repeat. all night long. country. all night long.
she has Should've Said No, which i like. taylor swift. but then she has those other taylor swift songs that are horrible. the "slammin' screen door" song. that makes me think of that summer that Kara would force me to go to the beach like, everyday and she would always play that song on her ipod and she has this whole dance that goes with it. and it was so annoying and so funny. i miss her alot.
the other horrible taylor swift song is the one that has been out FOREVER. it's basically like her new song, only slow version. the new song that goes....."i wear t-shirts.....she wears skirts..." or something. ugh how does that other song go. it's SUPER OVERLY DRAMATIC. i can't stand it.
OH!!! TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR. that's what it's called. even the title is vom-worthy.
anyways, last night i fell asleep to the "slammin' screen door" song and it was nice because it made me think of Kara. but then i was sad because it made me think of Kara. and then i was mad. and then i fell asleep.
work has been very frustrating lately. i think i will just use that as a blanket statement. the blanket represents everything. what's outside the blanket? more blankets. everything is the same. "suresuresuresuresuresuresure."
i (heart) huckabees, anyone??? love that.
anyways. yes. work. frustrating. and i have been writing the word 'frustrating' a lot also in my log entries. today i logged for like, 2 pages. PLUS did individual logs. PLUS filled out all the new sheets for the upcoming week.
it's a lot of paperwork.
ok. no more complaining. i guess i will go to bed. because if i'm not complaining, then i have nothing to talk about!! that should be my blog slogan.
i'll tell you what i ate today:
- 2 slices of whole wheat multi-grain toast
- cup of coffee
- pear
- 4ish bites of hambuger helper
- yogurt
yum! the pear and the yogurt were the best. i had never in my life had hamburger helper until the other night when the girls made it for dinner. and i really liked it. tonight....not so much. the noodles were overcooked. maybe that is what is giving me a stomach ache.
i read that yogurt is one of the foods to eat to prevent you from getting swine flu.
i feel like my mentioning of swine flu in this entry is coming off like i really care about it. and i'm really concerned about getting it. both of those previous statements are untrue. i don't care about it. and i'm not concerned about getting it.
and i'm still not getting a flu shot. i'm taking a hint from my laptop and am not protected from dangerous viruses.
i think it's really, really creepy that everyone is getting these flu shots. i feel like it's a small step towards turning humans into robots. or something. i can't really explain it.
and for some reason, that makes me think of in Veronica Mars the other night when her dad is telling her that he would just like it if Veronica could roll around in this protective hamster ball so she could never get hurt. and Veronica says, "it would just get annoying. and nobody likes a blonde in a hampster ball."
oh, Veronica. she's so funny. i think i might buy all the seasons. seasons 1 and 2 are only like, $8 on amazon.com. and especially after seeing how season 2 ended i was immediately like, "must go back and rewatch everything!!!!!!!!!"
and i really want Kara to watch it.
ok. now i'm going to bed. this baby is like a time bomb now that he's off his schedule. he had been on a solid three hour schedule for 2 weeks straight. and now it's just free range. whenever, wherever. which makes sense because he's getting hungrier because he's getting bigger.
ok. now i'm going to bed. i'm getting another disc of Freaks and Geeks tomorrow in the mail. which i am VERY excited about. i saw the Jason Schwartzman episode. did i tell you this?!!?! why didn't i tell you this?!!?!? he looked like a baby. and it was really funny. that guidence counselor is crazy, man. and i loved how he ended up being in the band that they all got the fake id's to see. haha.
i still love Bill. he's so funny. but, i was pretty upset with Cindy for hanging out with Sam so much, only to tell him that she is in love with that other guy. i felt bad for Sam. and it was funny when he was auditioning to be the mascot.
ok! now i'm going to bed. sleep off the stomach ache. number one trick in the book.
goodnight everyone. sorry i was lame during this entry. being all angry and upset. or, whatever i was. i'll talk to you more later today. have a great beginning of the week!!!!!! last week of october!!! and then we move right on in to November, A.K.A. the month of Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday.
love you! goodnight.
<3
