Nothing else matters ...

I watched a movie today. It was not good. I reviewed it at blabapalooza. You can thank me later for watching this one for you.

In other news, I totally went window shopping at Best Buy with iron_knife. He didn't window shop. Just me. I just looked. Because it's been a while since I wandered a well laid out Best Buy.

I really didn't get the things done today that I had planned to get done. I'll move those over to tomorrow's list. And maybe add getting my registration onto my car. Maybe. That might be too much for me, though.

I'm done.
Later.

Since I kinda sucked at journalling in the month of December, I'm making an effort to sit down and get the first one of the new year knocked out.

First off, I set my 2008 book reading goal at 120 for the year. I read 121. I read #121 on December 9th and I haven't even picked up a book since then. This isn't to say that I don't have a new batch of books to start on, I just didn't read any of them.

That said, I'm going for an even 100 this year. 120 was do-able (as shown by the fact that I did it) but 100 feels good. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I need to get back to my healthy eating. I've been eating very poorly since ... October? It's bad. I need to get Cole eating a little better as well. That's going to be fun.

I don't think I wrote anything last year. Nothing. No fanfic. Nothing. That's just sad. And slightly pathetic.

You know, I didn't do much today. Cole and I watched some Star Wars and quite a few episodes of the Bones marathon on some station. I straightened up my section of our storage area downstairs (mostly because I was looking for 2 pictures and a shelf) and wanted to take a nap but got caught up organizing my closet. I actually have room for things in there now. How nice. Now I'm watching the first Hellboy movie because it's been a while and I want to re-watch the 2nd again. Somehow that makes sense. To me.

There you have it. I slept through midnight last night although I was jerked out of sleep at 12:06 by some jackass with those stupid ass poppers that go on for all eternity. I love how they pop and pop and pop and you think they're done and 10 minutes later they start up again. Yeah, I hate those things.

Maybe Cole will decide he wants to sleep in his own room tonight.
Oh, and if anyone is dying to know, I totally didn't wake up in the middle of the night because I couldn't breathe. I just woke up because of those stupid poppers. Yay! I knew I was on the mend. I knew it!

Is this long enough?
iron_knife, did you see my comment to your comment about Best Buy? Do I need to comment again?
Oh. The movie's over. It's time to put in the next.
Later!

I had a ... not really productive, but I still did lot day. The thing that really stands out in my mind is how I scored Lost season 3 for a mere $10.81. How? you ask. It's on sale at Best Buy for $29.99 and I had a $20 gift card. That, my friends, is a pretty sweet deal. I also ran into some friends I hadn't seen in a while and we chatted in the music section. Cool.

What else did I do? I went grocery shopping with my mom (with a minor stop of Costco) and took an awesome 2 hour nap. Good times, people. Good times.

Cole and I have been playing bowling on the Wii for the past hour or so. I like the one where they keep adding pins. I find it funny that I say that at all because I really don't like bowling in real life. It makes my wrist hurt and I don't think it's terribly fun. Anyway. Cole and I had a good time. Damn, that boy's competitive. I'm all for having a good time and doing what you can do but he's like "Mom! I didn't get a strike on my first ball! I have to start over!". Just, wow.

Time to get the boy to bed.

Omg! I have so much to post about.
First ... Book #88 - A Stroke of Midnight by Laurell K. Hamilton - The more I read this series the more I like it. In fact I just ordered the next 2 books so I can get a little more of my Fey fix on. Anyway. Fairies! Yay! And not sweet and playful fairies, fairies that would rip your guts out and feed them to you. Awesome.

Second -- I took my computer in to Best Buy today and it's all fixed. It was amazing. The even better thing? They didn't charge me for it. Overall, a pretty good Best Buy trip. Much better than the time I went there to pick up the Indiana Jones trilogy and they only had it in full screen. Blech.

Third ~~~ I really want to talk about Disneyland. ( So I will! )

There may be more later. I'm just not sure.

It would appear that I've been slightly MIA. Oops. I've had stuff. You know. Stuff. Let's see. On Thursday I had a manager dinner. It was yummy. It was followed by bowling which I suck at. Blech. I had a good time, I'm just horrible at it. Yesterday, malkovich03 talked me into going to dinner with her. We went to a place in Santana Row called Pluto's which was very good. I have no idea how long we spent in the restaurant, but it was quite a while. We had a lot to talk about. We hadn't seen each other for 2 WHOLE WEEKS! *gasp* Then we wandered over to Best Buy and browsed and browsed and browsed. I bought the new Rilo Kiley CD and season 1 of Heroes. Btw, I'm done buying things between now and my birthday. I'm just sayin'.

Today has been a fun nothing day. Cole went camping with his dad yesterday and I'm just lazing around waiting for him to get home. I was going to try to do laundry or something, but it seems like too much work. So, I've watched part of Eight Legged Freaks and read a bit.

I've also been having some WEIRD dreams. Dreams where Dane Cook is my brother and I stole his dogs. I've never seen Dane Cook in anything and the only reason I know who he is is through my flist, yet he was my brother. Weird. Plus, why am I stealing his dogs? Sure, they were cute dogs, but WHY?

I think I'm going to get back to my book. I have a reading reputation to uphold, you know.

I'm tired-ish (not terribly tired, but sorta tired) because I got a ton of things done today. I went to Walmart this morning to buy a HDMI cable for the new TV, picked up a prescription that I sent to have refilled SIX WEEKS AGO (I guess it's my fault it didn't get filled in a timely manner. I mean, when it says that your doctor must be contacted, I guess it doesn't mean that they'll contact her for you. It means that you have to contact her and figure out how to get your fucking prescription refilled. No, I'm not bitter. Despite that, I still like Kaiser.), went to Best Buy to pick up SGA season 2, and had lunch with my sister. And by "lunch" I mean that she went and got us sandwiches and we ate on the couch in the general vicinity of each other.

Also, when I went to Best Buy I ended up buying a new TV stand for our AWESOMELY HUGE TV. I finished putting the stand together a couple of hours ago and then Amb and Phil had to come over to help us maneuver the TV onto it. It's so pretty. The picture! We don't actually have sound and picture at the same time yet, but we're working on fixing that. :)

Last night, jenahville and I brainstormed and decided to start a reviewing site.
blabapalooza blabapalooza blabapalooza
For the record, that's harder to type than you would think. So, reviews on TV shows, movies, and whatever else we decide to review will be there. Thus far, Jenn is out-reviewing me by a lot. She's done 3. I've done 0. Z.E.R.O. That may be my next task for myself. Or maybe I'll finish cleaning my room.

Cole's still running a fever, but he went over to his dad's for a bit to give me time to wash the sheets and air out the room. What a considerate kid.

ETA: I added a review for Night of the Comet to blabapalooza.

I got my hair done today. It much blonder than it has been for the past year. Hmm ... I originally wrote that it was "blander". Subconcious much? Anyway. It's pretty cool. I've decided to try to grow it out a bit because I've been thinking about it ever since malkovich03 mentioned it. Thanks, Mal. Thanks. We'll see how I do with the in-between stages. You know, where it flips out annoyingly and looks like you stuck your finger in a light socket? Actually, skip that light socket thing because mine won't look like that. It'll just be shaggy. Like I said, hopefully I'll be able to handle it.

Now to cement my place in the Weird People Hall of Fame ... everybody knows how I always have to have a project otherwise my life feels dull and meaningless? Yeah. My latest iPod project is to listen to all my songs from the beginning of this year. Basically, I started with songs that were last listened to in January and have been working my way steadily through. I'm up to February 27. I've also calculated that I can listen to an average of 20 songs on my drives to and from work. Cool. *yes, the Weird People Hall of Fame is drafting their letter to me right now.*

Tomorrow, kimbrchick, jenahville, myself and the kids will be getting together. Movies, madness and tacos! Oh, my!

Speaking of movies (and really, this doesn't have much to do with movies at all), I went to Fry's on my lunch on Friday ... Don't tell Best Buy! I don't want it to feel sad and/or angry with me ... and they had all the Stargate SG-1 seasons on sale for $20 each. These are the thinpak versions. Skinny Stargate! One of my regular versions is equal to THREE of the thinpaks. So, I bought all 9 seasons. *hangs head* As much as I normally loathe Fry's, that was totally worth it. 3=1. Just keep that in mind.

Did I mention that I've been listening to music all day? Since Cole's at his dad's and I'm having some much needed time to myself. *sigh* It's been fun.

I'm out.

Sadly, today is the last day of my vacation. Boo. It was also Cole's first day of 2nd grade. I can't quite figure out if he liked it. *shrug* I like his teacher. That's enough, isn't it?

Oops. Cole just bit his tongue. Ouch.

For the record, Best Buy has blank DVDs on sale for $6.99 for 25 discs. That's a damn good deal. I bought 3 packs.

I've also had this urge to watch Dark Angel season 2 after watching a few eps on Sci Fi yesterday. So, I did.

Toodles.

You know how some people *not me* have air conditioning *NOT ME!* and how they like to rub it in when they're sitting in their cool house? Rats. All of them.

It's so damn hot right now that I think I melted into my chair. Seriously. I'm going to have to go to work tomorrow with my chair stuck to my ass. Lovely.

On the other hand, tomorrow is Friday. Whoo-hoo! Because Friday is Fun-day! Yeah, I'm a dork. I've come to terms with it. Now you must too.

*cough*I bought the Anna Nalick CD*cough* It's purty.

*cough*I also somehow walked out of Best Buy with a copy of Brisco*cough*
I'm still not sure how I talked myself into it. Weird. And, no! I did not steal it. I paid. I just want to make that clear because I know how some of my friends think. malkovich03! ebarnon! And KNOW how you're going to read that. I know. Weirdos.

Holy crap! My fan (which Phil and I fixed, thankyouverymuch) is blowing HOT air. HOT AIR! That's just wrong.

I think I've abused the caps lock enough for one day.

I have nothing of interest to say today. nothing.

Oh, except that I went to Best Buy and bought Ultraviolet. You know, even if that movie completely sucks ass, it still has Milla Jovovich in it. She's been a favorite of mine since The Fifth Element. And Resident Evil. And Resident Evil: Apocalypse. She can totally kick the zombie butt. What's not to love about that?

So - Best Buy. Woot!

Randomly, I had to stop by my house on the way to Best Buy (completely out of the way, thank you!) and change shoes because I broke one shoe at work. Suck. It just ... broke. Fffft. And they were my favorite pair. I'm sad. :(

2nd day back from vacation. 2nd longer than normal day. Dude. Not cool.

I'm out.
