GOTH

Listening: pony club - 'single' & 'stop' (and the entire 'home truths' cd-- luv it!), the postal service - such great heights, recently bought the killers 'hot fuss' cd but have yet to listen to it, duran duran's 'astronaut' cd is really good and i want everyone to have it! smiths & moz everyday as usual. this song where the singer says 'i don't speak mexican' is in my head!! it's this guy trying to sound like morrissey. very bad!

Watching TV:grey's anatomy (i like it so far), the contendor (great tv! go alfonso!!! viva la raza!!), making the band 3 ("divas!"), anything with kathy griffin (lately i've seen her in celebrity poker showdown and playing sally on seinfeld) and too much basketball... i pray for tim duncan everyday and i try to dance dance revolution to 'twilight zone' with no mistakes for the spurs in timmy's honor!!! so far i've only done it perfectly once. I LOVE MY 'WONDER FALLS' DVD SET still!!!! need to finish season 2 of sex and the city so i can buy season 3.

Watching FILM:shaun of the dead (luved it), sideways (luved it, but it made me feel very adult contemporary and like i wish i knew about wine)... tivoed 'gosford park' so i want see it AGAIN this weekend... and i have some netflix movies i need to see (pride and prejudice with colin firth)... thought of tivoing 'emma' AGAIN cuz i luv it... i should buy emma, but if i do i won't ever watch it cuz that's what i do once i buy a dvd. i almost went to see 'Bride and prejudice' by myself, but i didn't want to wait the 5 minutes to get a ticket at the inwood. the ticket guy looked out of it.

Not watching: i hate the osbournes already. it's so old and so done, and i hate seeing what's her face the daughter in a corset. it's just driving me crazy, and making me feel deprived of oxygen. i want them to go away. saw a few minutes of the remake of 'little house on the prairie' this weekend. i didn't like it! it's not the same at all!!!

Reading:my hairdresser mailed me a self help type book and a very nice card. that was very sweet of her, and at first i thought it was a practical joke or some christian or terrorist material (it came on april fool's day). my hairdresser luvs me!!! she's been my hairdresser since 1999 or 2000 i think. i will have to read this book even though i hate to read books. i've been to barnes and nobes twice in the last week which is shocking. bought the 3 hour diet and the 8 minute workout. it's all about numbers for me! also bought some note cards at hallmark so i can write people and freak them out. it felt nice to write for a change! sunday i wrote a note to my niece amy.

Anti: everything! i hate some people at work right now who make my life more miserable then it has to be. i hate having to fix problems and talk on the phone. i hate that my car window is acting up again and when i take it to the dealer it works fine and so i look like a dork like that time i ran over a plastic bag and took it in cuz it smelled burnt. i hate camilla parker boweles and royal families in general. even prince william who is supposed to be cute and who i used to think was cute is gross to me now. i hate american celebrities who move to england and act english and think they aren't american anymore. i hate that tim duncan and devin brown are injured. i hate tv shows that end a minute past the hour which causes my tivo to have conflicts!!!

my new bf beno udrih (taken with my sidekick ii camera):

Listening: morrissey (duh!... kill uncle today), the dears - lost in the plot (cuz hermie said he's the black morrissey or something like that), TI - bring em' out (i'm so hip hop now), dido - white flag (i liked it from kareoke revolution)

Films:Oceans Twelve (not good), Closer (not good but cute actor), Spanglish (was okay), Life Aquatic (i wish i had stayed awake the entire movie cuz it looked cute... liked the sigur ros song playing in scene where they saw the jaguar shark), Maria Full of Grace (i liked it actually...)

TV:Amazing Race (the guy on the show is just so MEAN), Spurs (lost last nite to utah jazz... play mavs this week... am in luv with beno udrih), Alias (a little boring for a season premier), Project Runway (i want hair like a alexandra), trying to get into Lost again, Huff, Desperate Housewives (i am trying not to like it, but i can't), Endurance (go Monroe!!.. if he loses i will cry), tsunami specials :}

(nnnnoooo!!!!!)

Reading:The Tears website (inspired my blog format), gossip about who Zach Braff is dating, dallas morning news (i subscribed!), everything about the spurs (beno is rookie of month!)

POST NOTE

Yes, I must be getting old because I blogged about the price of gas! I am normally a person who could care less about the price of gas or the price of a lot of things that only old people think about. I still plan to go on a road trip this weekend cuz it's stupid not to go, BUT I also get great pleasure seeing the results of my personal gasoline conservation. My tank is still nearly 3/4 full, and I think I last put gas Tuesday, 5/18.

WHEN IS MORRISSEY COMING OUT ON CRAIG KILBORN?? NEVER!!!

SNOW FALLING ON CEDAR... SPRINGS

Did anyone catch Oprah yesterday with George Michael? His boyfriend is from Dallas, and now he has a home in Dallas. Wouldn't that be weird to see him on Cedar! His new song sounded pretty good, and Oprah said it's played at the clubs so since I don't go to clubs it would be nice if a friend who goes to clubs lets me know about it. I have actually thought I should try to go dancing sometime so I can get a little extra workout. Of course I need to be drunk to get out there so I don't know if that would be better or worse since I can only have sweet, fruity drinks. I am starting to think I am getting really old cuz I like some Billy Joel songs, and now I thought George Michael's song was "okay". What's next!

I was reading 'InStyle' last night, and I saw an ad for Applebees new weight watcher meals! How cool is that! Most restaurants have low-carb meals, but it's really hard to get a weight watcher friendly meal at a restaurant these days unless you eat salad without dressing or something equally gross and tasteless. I'll probably check it out. I also read about the new low-carb coke coming out soon (not that I am low-carb). The results have been mixed which means I probably wouldn't like it. I remember trying "new coke" way back when (was that the 80s), and I thought it was bad. I should really stick to water or diet rite. Can't get that peach tea out of my thougths though! I also saw a story on GMA (good morning america) about some guy inventing a way to make your car use cooking oil as fuel. The weather man cooked bacon and put the bacon grease in the car. My only concern would be if it breaks down, and you need to take it to the shop what do you tell them? I mean couldn't the oil be a problem somewhere down the line? I dunno. It's a thought though. Since these gas prices have gone up I stopped going out of the Cedar Springs strip for the most part. I do all my shopping on cedar springs (or just off cedar). I really notice a difference in gas! A person can live in the oaklawn area and do just fine!

To Clarify...

I just wanted to say I really didn't dislike the girl I mentioned in the last post because of her leg. I disliked her for things I believed to be valid... in the 5th grade. I did give her a chance since she was the new girl. It's like just cuz you're handicapped doesn't mean you can go around being a B and think you can get away with it. People are still gonna hate you. In college there was a handicapped girl who would zoom by in her chair. She was really rude, and had a bad personality.. kinda mean and would say stuff that wasn't tactful. I heard from a reliable source that the handicapped girl got beat up one day at the dorms. I don't remember what she did to get in that situation, but I laughed and thought it was kinda deserved cuz you can't go around being vicious to people and not expect a reaction no matter if you're handicapped or not. Having said this, I have never been in a fight. I almost got in one freshman year of high school, but I talked my way out of it. I'm not girl fight!

EAT THE SMALL FRIES IF U MUST

I know I've been neglecting my blog. I know some people expected me to neglect my blog so I'm sure I'm not disappointing anyone. :}

Okay so the weekend was pretty dull. Friday nite I went with Ivan and Hermie to bread winners. It was my suggestion, and I feel bad cuz the place was totally dead. No one should ever trust me to pick a "cool" place! I guess it really is more of a breakfast place so stay away at nite! I liked what I had to eat, but I picked the most southern looking thing on the menu... can't go wrong with chicken and potatoes!

Saturday I went with Hermie to see "Super Size Me". It did make me feel bad about eating fast food and eating in general. I bought a popcorn and sprite at the movie, and I managed to eat my fill of popcorn before the movie started. I barely drank any of the sprite, and I was too embarassed to drink more during the movie cuz they talked about the sugar in sodas and stuff. I have done really well with sodas, but I just wanted something other than water to drink, and I don't like diet coke! I liked the movie, and I hope my ass doesn't look as bad as some of the people they showed.

I went to the grocery store in my roommates car, and as I was walking out of the store I saw this mexican man trying to open the door of the car. I got this mean look on my face and was about to scream at him, but he saw me, and he just left. I would have died had he stolen it, and my roommate would have killed me. Thank God I came out at the exact time I did. Things like that always happen to me. Like I have found in my life I sometimes have perfect timing to avoid bad situations. I won't go into to much detail, but one case in point... I was supposed to go WTC on the morning of September 11, 2001, but I went to good morning america instead even though I didn't want to go. I mean bad stuff happens to me too (for sure), but I mean things could always be WORSE.

Sunday I wanted to go look at dining room sets, but I was just so lazy. I did DDR (dance dance revolution) as soon as I go up so I'm glad I got some "workout". It's hard to do those double steps at 8am. Warning to those who want to DDR early in the morning: never start off with a song that sounds very "jungle" and where the charaters are shaking... try a jocelyn enriquez or kylie minogue song!

I watched movies and tivoed shows most of the day. I saw "Emma" again. I watched a movie called "This Is My Father" (I think). It made me cry even though it wasn't that sad, but I just felt bad for the main character played by Aiden Quinn (who I normally really don't like). I tivoed this movie cuz it came out on my "Morrissey" search, and it was about a man going to Ireland to find out who his father was, and John Cusack was in it (very briefly). I don't know if I would recommend this movie necessarily. Okay I wouldn't recommend it, but if you don't have anything better to do, and it's on tv then give it a try. Sopranos was so good last night! My fave character died, and I am upset about that, but I won't say who died in case Vero is reading. She's way behind on her episodes. Alias was also pretty good. I don't know what I'm gonna watch now. :}

Last night Vivian (best friend from high school) called to gossip. This girl I went to elementary school (4th thru 6th grade)and high school with had an article written about her in the SA paper. The article said she had a brain tumor which caused her to gain weight and she was over 200 pounds. She had 2 kids, and now that she was cured of her tumor she doesn't take life for granted. I remember I was mean to this girl in elementary school. She had a bad leg, but I never made fun of her for that. I was mean to her because I didn't like her, and I may have turned some other people against her. The girl ended up leaving my school cuz I guess she had no friends. :} Then in high school I had her for home room like every year. She wasn't as bad as I thought she was, and I didn't mind her too much really. I do feel bad for her, and I hope she is okay. I wouldn't get in touch with her, but I'm glad to hear she is recovered and has children and is successful. She's a lawyer which I can totally see her doing cuz she was always a talker.

Okay this is even boring me so I'll end here. Don't forget to catch Morrissey on Craig Kilborn this week!

TRULY DISAPPOINTED

The last week hasn't been a great one. Most upsetting was the Spurs losing to the lakers. I can't watch basketball anymore until next season. I couldn't bring myself to watch the post game interviews or anything nba related after they lost. I can't stand the lakers, and I can't stand their fans! I never want to go to Los Angeles as long as I live! I was glad to hear a pretty large crowd showed up to greet the Spurs at the airport after the loss. I still love my Spurs, and I hope they can come back even stronger next year! I don't believe a person can catch the ball turn and shoot it in .4 seconds, but that's life! I guess now I can use the 2 Spurs vacation days I saved. :}

I was lied to by my tivo! Morrissey did not come out on subterranean! That was truly disappointing. Also, I hear he's gonna play Lollapalooza. I can't see myself at a concert like that especially if it's outdoors in august, but I'll go if he's gonna be there. I hope he doesn't cancel last minute!

Did anyone catch "Sopranos" last night? That dream sequence was too twin peaks! I don't even understand why Tony was at the plaza in the first place. Who knows! It makes me want to stay at the plaza and try a toblerone candy though!

Morrissey Updates:

-Subterranean 5.16.2004 11pm on MTV2
-Craig Kilborn 5.24.2004 thru 5.28.2004 ALL WEEK LONG!

"YOU'RE NOT A LOSER... YOU'RE A WINNER THAT'S NEVER WON"

So I spent my evening trying to get my David Bowie "mash-up" contest stuff coordinated. Not that I think I stand a chance in H-E double hockey sticks of winning. I've never mashed songs together, I don't even know how to do it, and I despise reading directions... not to mention the fact that I've never won anything in my life. Well, that's not completely true. I won a medal for basketball in like the 8th grade. I was the best free throw shooter for my age group... granted it was the catholic school girl league. I also won a city spelling bee in the 6th grade, but it's been a big decline since my days of spelling glory. I won a turkey at a turkey bingo once, and I can't really remember ever winning anything else other than an ebay auction which really doesn't count. I want to enter this contest though cuz I think it's a cute idea, and I need to enter cuz I told my best friend Hermie I would, and if I don't he'll remind me that I didn't do what I said I was gonna do for the rest of my life! I should never say I'm gonna do anything, but I never learn! And if I win an audi in the process so much the better!
