Jeep is violently shaking when I hit a certain speed, either accelerating or decelerating. Oh, 2012...it is too early for you to start kicking my ass.

In refinancing news (achieving a New Years resolution wot wot), am trying to decide whether or not to pay my closing costs up front or roll them back into the loan. I don't really have $3K lying around but if I roll it into the loan, I will be paying PMI and thus less principal on the house. It feels like I am going backwards, especially if I do the 30 year loan instead of the 20 year one.



Yeah, like that.
melcreada: (Prose before hos...awwwwww yeah!)

After my fantastic meltdown this weekend, I am feeling a little better. Yes, I am in a minor financial crisis not of my making, yes my job is so stressful that I regularly need afternoon naps/crying jags to get through the week, yes there are things in my life that I am avoiding because I don't have the energy to deal (health, house falling apart, refinancing rigamarole). BUT. I will persevere. A girl can dream.

JP cheered me up this weekend by taking me to see Anonymous, which I enjoyed except spoiler! )  Still don't believe the theory, but I love love love period dramas. Rhys Ifans, who knew? Hubba hubba!

Then we went to Half Price Books with our coupons and I bought a bunch of books on English history. Again. My Elizabethan/Shakespeare library, let me show you it.

Saw Nay-Nay tonight, which is always nice. She has agreed to go with me for sushi tomorrow and I am excite! Ten bucks says raw fish will not go anywhere near her mouth. It's okay - she is accompanying me which makes me : )

melcreada: (all this bullshit)
I would have updated this weekend but I was curled up on the couch, praying for Death's sweet release.

I dunno...cut because I talk about my girly business... )

The good thing about not wanting to move around much is that I got a fair amount of reading done. I zoomed through Goblet of Fire and am just about through with Order of the Phoenix. This is my third go through the Harry Potter series and I love it as much as I ever did (although I never realized how often Hermione moaned - kinky!).

Work is always work and one minute I am being hailed as awesome and the next, I am being spoken to like the village idiot. I hate that BTW - if you ever really want to piss me off, be as patronizing as possible. You will see my eyeballs boil in their sockets and have the satisfaction of seing Pretentious Mel get her betch on.

I think I am going to have pancakes for dinner. I used to love it when my dad would make us pancakes for dinner...it always felt like we were being bad! LOL.

OMG, the Daily Show's 'World of Class Warfare' bit cracked me up even as I felt dizzy from anger. The fact that anyone would say someone is not poor because they have a refrigerator? Seriously?! Did the U.S. become a third world country while I was sleeping?!

But Jon Stewart was in fine form and the writing was fantastic. And it made me think of one of my favorite parts of History of the World (forgive me...I have not the ability to make gifs):





Indeed. So, to cheer me up when I look at this post again, I will include a picture of the cutest sleeping cat EVAR:

Texas governor Rick Perry is running for President? Excuse me while I hurl. This man has no right holding public office but unfortunately an overwhelming number of Texans disagree with me. He is like... a less attractive and charming Sarah Palin.

This news coming after a particularly horrible work day is just the shit icing on my crap cake.

So, I came home and ate my feelings:


pan dulce, yum!

I don't really serve it on a serape with a side of maracas...this is just to give you a visual.

Maybe some Mighty Boosh will make me feel better. Although, really, the only thing that would cheer me up right now is a phone call informing me that I have won the lottery and can stop working immediately.

What's up, my LJ peeps?

Cut for those who don't want to hear about my tummy troubles... )

In non-disgusting news, JP and I attacked several Blockbusters, buying up used Blu-rays for $4 each. Good times. I bought Red Cliff, parts 1 & 2, so I am really looking forward to finally watching that. I heart John Woo! We watched Scott Pilgrim tonight and I thought it was pretty funny and clever. They never went too far with teh emo and the ADD, chop-chop transitions kinda grew on me. I wouldn't mind checking out the comic...

Tomorrow I am going to visit my grandmother's grave with my mom and sister. So if the world ends, at least I'll be with family and I'll already be in a cemetery. I love it when a plan comes together...

Next week is San Francisco!!! I am so excited!!!

I have spent all morning being domestic and shit. I made breakfast, did a couple of loads of laundry, washed the dishes, and mended a torn pocket. MENDED. Now, I am making potato salad for the oven fried chicken I will be whipping up later.

Sometimes I kinda like being domestic, staying at home and working on things where there is a tangible sense of completion. All I need is to find some sucker to pay all my bills so I can do just that...LOL!

My mystery date with JP on Saturday was a trip downtown to the Magik Theater to see the Ju Percussion Group. They are awesome! If you ever get a chance to check them out, do it. They are talented and obviously enjoy what they are doing.

In news of the retarded, I have been checking obsessively to see if more tickets for the Swell Season were going to be released (with no luck) but on the day of the actual concert (yesterday) I forgot to check (because I am a dumbass) and guess what? They released more tickets! I realized this when I checked twitter at around 11PM last night. Ugh. Oh, Stupidity, why do you never leave me?
melcreada: (bleach)

God, is this year over yet?!

I am not having a good month. Nothing earth-shattering or anything, just bleghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

One cool thing, though: JP has started scanning all the old pictures we found at grandma's. This one was taken around 1915, in Mexico. It is my great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and grandma. He was a police officer in Nuevo Laredo and she was...very young when they got married. Crazy, huh? I love old photos...

AI OT: I don't care what the haters say, I love little Josiah Leming (the kid from American Idol auditions who lived in his car)! Although he strikes me as the uber-sensitive type who would crumble under the slightest criticism. Emo kids FTW!
