sleep tight March 28, 2008

i am currently obsessed with season one of the show 24.

when i interned this summer everyone at work was talking about 24 – apparently during busy season its the only permissible reason to turn on the giant flat screen tv in the conference room. oh that and basketball (blech).

so i thought i’d check it out and a few days ago my netflix delivered me the first season. the little red envelope sat unopened and i almost forgot about it until i needed something to watch while i was falling asleep last night.

i watched SEVEN episodes last night starting at midnight. meaning that i went to bed at SIX AM.

this is hauntingly familiar to finals week of fall semester last year when i watched 17 hours of Lost over four days. and no one told me there are six seasons. i am so predictable.

another fun thing with my predictable condition is that when i preface a “good night’s sleep” with seven hours of tense, adrenaline-pumping, action-filled episodes of kidnapping, shooting, spies, etc, i have really good dreams. in case you are unaware, i am feeling sarcastic tonight.

goodnight!

three wayyyyyyy!!!! March 19, 2008

through some strange internet wandering* i ended up at urbanbaby.com which is a site for mothers to b*tch about their kids/husbands/sad lives/strollers, etc. the message boards, however, prove to be horribly entertaining.

the format is set up so that the replies are all listed under the main post, on the main page, so you don’t even have to click on the title to read the rest. which makes it interesting when you have a post like this (replies are bulleted):

would you stand by your dh if he was accused of rape? if the victim can identify marks on his pubic area???

• Depends. could have been consentual sex. Who knows what you will do until you are in the position
• three wayyyyyyy!
• darlene?
• Um, probably not.

endless hours of fun!

*if the internet was a big city and had a huge main street, i would always be lost in a back alley somewhere in the wrong part of town (in this case the maternity section).

just watch March 19, 2008

at dance the other day, we were experimenting with make-up for our ’scary’ piece. the choreographer wants us to have a black creepy eye on one side and a colorful eye on the other.

being that march is american red cross month, i thought i would do a health-related post. conveniently, march is also colorectal cancer awareness month. and chronic fatigue-syndrome awareness month.

and kidney month.

and mental retardation, eye donor, hemophilia, multiple sclerosis, social work, nutrition, save your vision, sports eye safety and workplace eye safety month.

poor march.

really? March 15, 2008

so i have google analytics (website stats) set up on this site and i check it once every 3 months or so – whenever i remember that i have it. one of the fun features is that it tells me the search terms that resulted in people visiting my site. i would like to share these with you.

top search terms for the past month
1. horse vagina
2. cowboy of moo masa
3. “always sunny in philadelphia”
4. baby i just want you in my life
5. creepy cat

horse vagina? really? who is searching that? and why did i choose those words as a title for an entry in january 2006?

i mean, maybe i should re-consider my audience. bestiality? horse lovers? take that, google keywords!

16-20 on my netflix queue March 8, 2008

because other people are doing it and i want to be like them.

16. Jean de Florette / Manon of the Spring – i first saw this movie in 10th grade french class. i added it because this time i will control whether or not the subtitles are on.

17. The Notebook – i’ve never actually seen this movie, even though everyone gave it rave reviews. i will most likely watch this some night when nate is watching hockey and call him up crying because its sad / romantic / happy.

18. The Best of the Colbert Report – i can only stand stephen colbert in small doses, so i thought this would be a good compromise.

19. City of God (Cidade de Deus)- a portuguese, independent, foreign-film. let’s just say nate would have to be tranquilized to watch this with me.

20. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 1 – this was a show i thought i would never like, but when nate’s roommate put it on (he has the DVD), i sat down and watched 3 episodes. and actually laughed out loud.
