PosterNutbag

the past few days have been surreal. ive been up and down and everywhere in between. the fact that i am even having this conversation with you is proof enough that i am infact a TOTAL nutbag, if not a poster. i have cut down on my tv watching--> not even able to stand the few shows that accompany dinner (side note: never would i cease to cherish and adore the simpsons, fear not). i have even found less pleasure in modest mouse (um. honestly, im not sure that statement is legit since i did acquire yet another mm cd on fri and have already begun digesting it). but, today, i barely even made the bed. clearly something is amiss! something.... are the planets aligned in some kind of crazy way? does mother earth's change of seasons affect us to? ive checked my horoscope and it all seems pretty basic. wouldnt a horoscope be where they warn you when kooky things are happening in the universe?

and oddly enough, i have spoken with several long distance friends whom i hardly ever get to talk to, as well as friends i see regularly, and they all seem to be experiencing turmoil. everybody. jobs. bullshit. breakups. jobs. moving. jobs. bullshit. tons of bullshit. MADNESS!


but, then...... today, well tonight really, i got a new job.

i had a good think and said a lot of things outloud to the few people who matter most and i dunno... i guess what im saying here is that it all just came together today. tonight. things.... just..... changed---- i can only hope that's for the better. but you know what? whatever. somehow that is fine. even if it isnt any better--- at least its something different. thank god for something different! (i was beginning to think i was gonna have to cut off my hair)

damn, im a lucky gal......................................................................... but, then again, youre lucky too.

like everyone else i know, my job is absolutely unbearable and i wish i had a new one, like, yesterday.... but, sadly, the whole task of finding new employment is a completely unbearable as well! resumes, cover letters, interviews, classifieds-- the whole lot of it: unbearable! i have been looking at so many classified ads tonight, that they have started to run together. They're all the same bullshit: blah blah blah in search of a flexible, enthusiastic, self-motivated, detail-oriented individual with good oral & written communication skills able to work in fast-paced work environment as a team-player...... and on and on. Although this one stood out of the crowd. so simple, so sweet. i may be in love with the person who placed this ad.....

....i've got a case of the Mondays.....

so, i have always had this obsession with Parker Posey. I'd even say, if I were to make it with a girl, she'd be top choice.

why do i bring this up? well, the oxygen channel is playing "Sleep with Me", a 1994 classic featuring Meg Tilly, Eric Stotlz, Parker Posey, and a messy love-triangle. the first time I saw this movie, the guys i was with were all excited about meg tilly, but i could never understand why they weren't into parker posey. 'cause i was...... and so the obsession began.

if you haven't seen this movie, it's worth a rent. (besides, it's a quentin tarantino)

safe for work

and then there's:
i like "the ol feel n' squeal!"

i am feeling like i need to comment on a few things....

1. The Hell test: i know some of you did not enjoy the lengthiness of the test and hey, i hear ya. it was a bit much, but for the most part, i am bored. i have lots of time on my hands and i think you do to. Seriously though, can you believe that i scored so high in so many categories? violent? gluttonous?? lustful??? (ok, maybe i can see the lustful.....)

2. The Deer Incident: for all of you who have expressed your deep concern, i am fine, my car is repairable (to the tune of $1900-- thank god for insurance), and i am finally feeling safe behind the wheel again. no cops calling the house looking for me. no news articles of squashed family pets. it is all taken care of. i was seriously freaked out there for days--- for multiple reasons, including my car not being registered...... but, again, that is all taken care of. and my car goes in the shop the first of april. The guy is even gonna give it a buffing to get out some scratches. i love handy car guys!

3. the poster redesign: so, as you have undoubtably noticed the page has a whole new, sleek design. did it while i was sick--- but truth be told, i had been wavering back-and-forth about a new design for weeks. for the most part i am pleased with the look. i wanted something between the simple and the done-up. but, i am sad to depart from the orange..... orange just felt good.... so, if any of you fools know the color code for orange..........

well, there we are. a nice, neat, little wrap up. with a bow and everything.

Take the Dante Inferno Hell Test

i just had a terrible, no good, very bad experience. i'm all shaken up. i hit a deer. on my way home from a friend's house. i'm almost 100% sure it was a deer---- which is what i am totally tripping on-- the fact that i am not sure. it seemed big and kinda black--- i thought stray dog at first but it was too tall to be a dog. it just there all of a sudden. but i didn't turn around and go back to look. was i supposed to? what is the etiquette for a situation like that? i've never hit anything, except a skunk---- ooh, and an innocent little bunny. i panicked. i fled. i called the husband and had him talk me home-- i was seriously shaken up. i'm a total girl about this kinda stuff! thank god he sprang into action and reported it to insurance & the proper authorities, i couldn't have dealt with all that. i suddenly felt like i had been involved in some serious crime that i would be going to jail for pending a greuling investigation and a long, exposing trial. law & order style. handcuffs and all!

with my new & super-speedy dsl and all this time on my hands, i have been surfing around, reading other blogs, checking out their links. found some good ones tonight but mostly bad, bad, bad ones. all this leading me to think:
mine is yet another bad blog in the world o' bad, bad blogs.
*terrible*
predictable......
*terrible*
generic.........
*terrible*
uninspired...................................................... hmmmm, i'd give you back your time if i could.

blah blah blah.. work is annoying.. I am tired of trying to anticipate the bossman's every whim and follow directions accordingly...... And tell me why I spend all my time doing someone else's job and then get no credit for having done just that. Not to mention that the aforementionned someone does a terrible job at the few activities that are their responsibility and therefore, I have to do extra, super-annoying work. (it's just icing on the cake that they are praised like a queen by the completely ignorant bossman)

UGH!

I figured that I had better do something productive with all this sick time. Redesigning the blog, seemed like the perfect diversion. I viewed a mad number of templates before committing to this one. Hope you like.

........................................you know, somehow, i will miss the orange

i am incredibly sad to report that my body has still not recovered from this blasted illness! Today, i did venture outdoors to "run some errands". It felt weird mingling with the masses after being all cooped up in my lil' ol' house for days. I felt like I wasn't quite in step with the rest of the world and that everyone could sense my awkwardness--- like i should be back at home, in my bubble, away from the good people of Shepherdstown.

ok, well, my completely reDONKulous friend, finding himself unemployed (after walking off his job two weeks prior), has been berating me with money-making ventures. he's sick of working for the man just like i'm sick of working for the man. (just like YOUR sick of working for the man) and quite simply we just want money without all the hassle of work and shit. we have come up with everything from Ben & Jerry franchises to running a B&B to real estate investments. My fav idea was opening up a burrito shop--- GD i love burritos! so, today, in pure desperation, he calls suggesting we get in the internet porn game (he had seen some E! special on the internet porn industry). in an attempt to persuade me, he points out the cold truth: boobs make money! Besides, he says, surely women will take off their shirts for us. *i wonder*....... i dunno...... truly i hate the man, but i'm just not ready to sell my soul.... not yet, anyway.

well, it's friday night damnit and time to rock n roll.... although, i'm not feeling like much of a rockstar. really, i will be on the couch, in my pjs, watching what is sure to be a dumb movie. but everyone else, rock a little for me. please.

if you haven't checked out eddie's page today, you really should. The pic he has of Kerry and Dean is a true gem!

being sick sucks. The damn husband passed on his stomach flu to me, and i can't thank him enough (note sarcasm). i guess it is inevitable and shit, but it doesn't seem fair. i disinfected like a madwoman! *sigh* yesterday i spent all day on the couch/in bed. i plan to bathe, get dressed, and attempt eating today. i will be well damnit!

in other news, i hooked up our dsl connection and couldn't be happier about it. except, it was a pain-in-the-ass to hook up and i ended up having to call tech support. in my defense, it was by no fault of my own that it wouldn't work-- apparently, the installation disc is shoddy. but, really, why can't anything be easy? i hate it---- plus i felt like a moron having to call support.

ok, well, i must go & get my fill of morning tv-- while its still morning.

ok, ok. it's been a few days and i've been neglecting you. i know... it's just, i have had no mind for blogging. or, more accurately, i have too much mind for blogging.... changes are on the horizon although i can't see them just yet. it's a weird time. there is something unsettling yet exciting in the air..... in my air.

but, truly, i have been neglectful. and really i have so much to add. so much to improve..... but it's coming. i see a new format--- this one's so yesterday. and i'm embarrassed to say that i have all kinds o' links scribbled everywhere that need to be added....... but dsl is on its way and i couldn't be happier. dial-up is ghetto.
