You're so Vain, You Probably Think this LJ is About You

Guess what I'm typing on?? I like bb keyboard and it works as well as any wireless keyboard I've had. Only thing I don't like is the iPad case doesn't stay up very well. Can't win them all...

Today I took off work because JP got tickets to see a taping of America's Got Talent downwtown. He actually went yesterday and today, so he stands a decent chance of being on TV, I think. The acts we saw were mostly good, including a kiddie rock band, a middle-age Larry the Cable Guy fella who sang like Garth Brooks (loved him), and a young mariachi band that played modern music and danced. We had a good time, even though we were stuck in our seats for almost 4 hours. And, of course, like a goober, I forgot my phone so no photographic evidence. Womp, womp.

Okay, have broken keyboard in. Later, taters.

I have been so bad at updating and commenting...I apologize, dear friends.

Why is the weekend so damn short?!

Last night we went to the Arneson River Theatre downtown to see The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged):



Although plagued with sound issues, the performance itself was pretty funny and they get major points for covering all the histories like a football game, complete with a Howard Cosell impersonation.

Otherwise, this weekend was spent in front of the TV, mainlining episodes of Lie to Me. Although the story lines are a bit farfetched, I love how Tim Roth plays the character and also the chemistry between him and his partner. Good stuff...

I have been working OT for the past two weeks, taking projects home with me, but I was so fed up, I gave myself the weekend off. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the butt.

Next few weekends are jumping...must make a list:

4/5 - Tosh.0 tour in Austin
4/8 - Easter with the familia
4/14 - cousin's bridal shower
4/20-22 - weekend in Corpus (hopefully)
5/5-6 - weekend with Nay-nay (tentative)

The list goes on and on, but I'm getting tired thinking about it, LOL...

I saw the new Key & Peele show on Comedy Central and while it didn't really grab me, it was totally worth watching for this sketch of Obama and his "anger translator":



And also, since I am letting my left flag fly, JP pointed this out to me on Facebook. Like I need another reason to love George Clooney:

I am doing laundry and crying over episodes of Long Island Medium. Are you kidding me with this show? Anyone else watching it? I don't even think I believe it, but everyone crying over their dearly departed is just wrecking me.

Just another Sunday...

Things I Did
- Drank lots of alcohol
- Watched/re-watched all 3 seasons of The Mighty Boosh
- Went shopping
- Saw Friends with Benefits (funny, but could have used a serious edit) and Captain America (better the second time around, really good!)


Things I Did Not Do
- Clean my closet
- Take the bags of stuff I trip over daily to Good Will
- Call my doctor to pay this stupid bill because the only way I can pay via credit card is over the phone (how safe)
- Schedule someone to come out and look at my shower because I think it is leaking
- Start on any of the other half dozen home projects that need taking care of

Priorities, I do not haz them.

I did, however, make a smashing good lasagna! It was very yummy but the thing about lasagna is that you can't really make a small one (or at least, I can't). So I know what we will be eating for the next few days...

I have fallen in love with The Mighty Boosh (a little late to the party, but whatever) after JP foisted a few episodes on me. It's just absurd and lovely and funny and whimsical and even though I haven't seen all the seasons, I am already re-watching some of the eps. I have really weird crushes on the four main characters (including a lisping Naboo and the guy in the gorilla suit).

Don't be jelly, JP - you are still my number 1 weirdo!

Hmmm, I think that's it except to say I made a carrot turnip mash the other day and it was delish!

Oh, the excitement! I can't take it!

God, those poor people in Japan. My heart goes out to them. Those pictures are surreal and horrible.

In more selfish news - ugh. WTF is wrong with me? I've been mopey all weekend. It definitely has to do with current job worries and possibly my sudden, urgent need to lose weight (I have been feeling like total crap lately). Starting tomorrow I am going to do something about this shit, although pumping myself up constantly has been taking its toll on my emotional well being. It's a vicious circle.

In good news, I found my Lady Gaga concert ticket just in the nick of time! The concert is on Tuesday and I thought I had lost the damn thing. Yay.

Tonight I watched Being Human and more House Hunters International (laughed my ass off because it was so obvious that the realtor thought the prospective buyer was a tool...he totally was, btw).

Okay, bedtime. Good night, all.

I recently re-watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and cried through half the damn thing. It was an emotional blood bath.

For the better part of today I was plopped in front of the TV, watching BBC America's Being Human marathon (I was also on my laptop, "working," so I was not a total lump). I quite enjoyed most of the episodes I caught - Aidan Turner is hubba hubba! I love the friendship between him and George and the chemistry among the trio. ♥

I did my tax return and it wasn't as good as last year, but Turbo Tax has assured me that I have been getting that "extra" money in every paycheck from 2010, so I should just shut up about it already (they didn't actually say that, but it's what they meant). Oh, well. That's the way the cookies crumbles.

Mmmm, I still have Girl Scout cookies...

Okay, time to pass the fuck out.

I saw the commercial for Flavor of Love: Charm School and for reals? I laughed for like five minutes. I don't think I can bring myself to watch it, but OMG! Trashy wimmens learning to behave whilst getting into wig-pulling fights and cussing a blue streak? *wipes eyes* What sealed the deal? Monique telling one of the girls, "You're the ho of charm school!" Oh, God. I cannot watch this show. But I must.

Also? Bookcloseouts.com is selling their stock of Tokyopop manga for $3.99 a volume. Dealdude.com also has coupons for the website that work in conjunction with this nifty sale. Just trying to spread the addiction love.

I have nothing else to say except that I am taking a page out of white_death's book and declaring this space a *HUG* zone.

*hugs you all*
