Tales from the Crypt Keeper
On these overnight shifts its hard for me to express my exact thoughts. Its a good thing that these photographs pretty much sum it up.

at least the plants are alive!
Scene:Me asleep in bed, catching some Zs before an overnight shift. Air conditioning/ heating guy yells up the stairs that he's coming up to check the vents. Me throwing all my shit on and under the bed. He walks in the room. Looks around. " Typical girl's room" he says to me. The clothes, the shoes the beer cans the piles and piles of books the piles and piles of blankets the half full mugs of toddys the eegaws the bed covered in dvd cases and alarm clocks and a laptop. " yeah man" I say. Its almost as bad as giving an aquaintance a surprise ride in your car that is full of month old recycling and other evidence of a lifestyle that is not exactly something to be proud of.
end scene.

Shanghai SNOOZE
It took me 9 years but I finally caught up with the much-anticipated summer blockbuster, critically acclaimed monster hit of the summer from 2000.
It only took me 10 minutes to fall asleep.

I see spots
There are some spots that just appeared on my arm.
They are a constellation of dots that form an obtuse triangle (100 degrees).
All signs point to ABDUCTION!
more pictures and testimonies of my experience to follow.

The world's toughest cop is getting a brand new partner.
And he's a real
blast from the past!
I caught only a few minutes of this- the most expensive direct to video release movie ever made- 33.5 million dollars. I have to watch the whole thing, just to answer some questions I had...like those shoes the dinosaur is wearing, why couldn't they just make one big shoe?
Summary of film:
"In a future town a female police detective (Whoopi Goldberg) has to colaborate with Theodore Rex, a genetically generated Tyrannosaurus Rex, in order to investigate the murder of another dinosaure. Written by Volker Boehm "
My Brush with Celebrity
Today at work I talked to Lisa Frank. Of course I wasn't a girl in grade school, but I definitely remember all those folders. While I can't be sure she was the Lisa Frank, I do know she was a pediatrician. If the Lisa Frank is a doctor, I'm sure she is a pediatrician. And her office also sounded bright purple.

Poor Bastianelo...
I've been making my way through a book of collected 'best loved folktales of the world', and my favorite so far has been this little gem from Italy.
Summary : Man marries wife, wife turns out to be irrational and spills a lot of wine, man leaves wife to travel world to find 3 greater fools than his bride, mother and father in-law... does he succeed?
Read on players...
ONCE upon a time there was a husband and wife who had a son. This son grew up, and said one day to his mother: "Do you know, mother, I would like to marry!" "Very well, marry. Whom do you want to take?" He answered: "I want the gardener's daughter." "She is a good girl; take her; I am willing." So he went, and asked for the girl, and her parents gave her to him. They were married, and when they were in the midst of the dinner, the wine gave out. The husband said: "There is no more wine!" The bride, to show that she was a good housekeeper, said: "I will go and get some." She took the bottles and went to the cellar, turned the cock, and began to think: "Suppose I should have a son, and we should call him Bastianelo, and he should die. Oh! How grieved I should be! Oh! How grieved I should be!" And thereupon she began to weep and weep; and meanwhile the wine was running all over the cellar.
When they saw that the bride did not return, the mother said: "I will go and see what the matter is." So she went into the cellar, and saw the bride, with the bottle in her hand, and weeping, while the wine was running over the cellar. "What is the matter with you, that you are weeping?" "Ah! My mother I was thinking that if I had a son, and should name him Bastianelo, and he should die, oh! How I should grieve! Oh! How I should grieve!" The mother, too, began to weep, and weep, and weep; and meanwhile the wine was running over the cellar.
When the people at the table saw that no one brought the wine, the groom's father said: "I will go and see what is the matter. Certainly some thing wrong has happened to the bride." He went and saw the whole cellar full of wine, and the mother and bride weeping. "What is the matter?" he said; "has anything wrong happened to you?" "No," said the bride, "but I was thinking that if I had a son and should call him Bastianelo, and he should die, oh! How I should grieve! Oh! How I should grieve!" Then he, too, began to weep, and all three wept; and meanwhile the wine was running over the cellar.
When the groom saw that neither the bride, nor the mother, nor the father came back, he said: "Now I will go and see what the matter is that no one returns." He went into the cellar and saw all the wine running over the cellar. He hastened and stopped the cask, and then asked: "What is the matter, that you are all weeping, and have let the wine run all over the cellar?" Then the bride said: "I was thinking that if I had a son and called him Bastianelo and he should die, oh! How I should grieve! Oh! How I should grieve!" Then the groom said: "You stupid fools! Are you weeping at this, and letting all the wine run into the cellar? Have you nothing else to think of? It shall never be said that I remained with you! I will roam about the world, and until I find three fools greater than you I will not return home."
He had a bread-cake made, took a bottle of wine, a sausage, and some linen, and made a bundle, which he put on a stick and carried over his shoulder. He journeyed and journeyed, but found no fool. At last he said, worn out: "I must turn back, for I see I cannot find a greater fool than my wife." He did not know what to do, whether to go on or to turn back. "Oh!" he said, "it is better to try and go a little farther." So he went on and shortly he saw a man in his shirtsleeves at a well, all wet with perspiration and water. "What are you doing, sir, that you are so covered with water and in such a sweat?" "Oh! Let me alone," the man answered, "for I have been here a long time drawing water to fill this pail and I cannot fill it." "What are you drawing the water in?" he asked him. "In this sieve," he said. "What are you thinking about, to draw water in that sieve? Just wait!" He went to a house near by, and borrowed a bucket, with which he returned to the well and filled the pail. "Thank you, good man, God knows how long I should have had to remain here!" "Here is one who is a greater fool than my wife."
He continued his journey and after a time he saw at a distance a man in his shirt who was jumping down from a tree. He drew near, and saw a woman under the same tree holding a pair of breeches. He asked them what they were doing, and they said that they had been there a long time, and that the man was trying on those breeches and did not know how to get into them. "I have jumped, and jumped," said the man, "until I am tired out and I cannot imagine how to get into those breeches." "Oh!" said the traveler, "you might stay here as long as you wished, for you would never get into them in this way. Come down and lean against the tree." Then he took his legs and put them in the breeches, and after he had put them on, he said: "Is that right?" "Very good, bless you; for if it had not been for you, God knows how long I should have had to jump." Then the traveler said to himself: "I have seen two greater fools than my wife."
Then he went his way and as he approached a city he heard a great noise. When he drew near he asked what it was, and was told it was a marriage, and that it was the custom in that city for the brides to enter the city gate on horseback, and that there was a great discussion on this occasion between the groom and the owner of the horse, for the bride was tall and the horse high, and they could not get through the gate; so that they must either cut off the bride's head or the horse's legs. The groom did not wish his bride's head cut off; and the owner of the horse did not wish his horse's legs cut off, and hence this disturbance. Then the traveler said: "Just wait," and came up to the bride and gave her a slap that made her lower her head, and then he gave the horse a kick, and so they passed through the gate and entered the city The groom and the owner of the horse asked the traveler what he wanted, for he had saved the groom his bride, and the owner of the horse his horse. He answered that he did not wish anything and said to himself: "Two and one make three! That is enough; now I will go home."
He did so and said to his wife: "Here I am, my wife; I have seen three greater fools then you; now let us remain in peace and think about nothing else." They renewed the wed ding and always remained in peace. After a time the wife had a son whom they named Bastianelo, and Bastianelo did not die, but still lives with his father and mother.

Tragedy
Thanks, Google, for taking all the fun out of my morbid curiosity.
I think it goes without saying that this movie just cannot be watched anymore.
I think it goes without saying that this movie just cannot be watched anymore. I can't navigate facebook anymore.
I am in love library and there is this guy who has his headphones on but keeps accidentally playing his music over the computer speakers.
He's older, about 34 maybe.
He's wearing a veteran's hat that at first glance reminds me of the Payless Shoes sign.
He looks nice. Kinda reminds me of Jack from that movie... Jack.

Identify the things that make you feel young and cling to them.
Getting my utilities bills is like getting my report card from school.
I'm never quite sure how well I did.
I have to open it up in secret in the bathroom.
There's always a little disappointment.
I take it to burger king and get free whoppers.

Oh man I am sooo broke.
Its only the 12th day of the month and I am pretty broke for the month. Last month, the same thing happened. Its a terrible cycle.
Anyway, I need to come up with a way to get some big bad cash but I'm not sure what I can do to both earn some extra money and save what dough that remains...
The main thing that comes to mind is "plasma".
