Hi my name is chriss, and I'm addicted to the movie channels

Slight problem with our new MTS tv. I'm addicted to the movie channel. Soo many good movies are coming up, I want to tape them all. Even movies I'd heard of and couldn't find to rent have been on. It's great. Digital quality, no commercials, I think I'm in heaven. LOL. Ok my life doesn't revolve around that but it's great fun.

I even was able to watch most of the superman movies. They were showing the first three back-to-back, so I enjoyed that (curse you movie channel, curse you!). It's interesting to see the original Lana Lane, now that I'm more familiar with her playing Clark Kent's mother on 'Smallville.' Sure the movies are slightly corny, they're still enjoyable. I did miss the conclusion of Superman 3, but I've seen it before.

Today been busy. I've been running around. I finally got my grad photos from, well obviously grad. They're actually pretty nice. I'm still not a huge fan of the all white top and black bottoms, but they're still nice. Plus they were free so it's all good :)

Then once again I ventured into grocery shopping on a Saturday afternoon at the same hell-ish store as last week. I'm sure you remember that rant. Well it wasn't any better today. We actually ended up leaving our basket in produce and high-tailed it out of there, vowing to return later when it was safe.

Later in the day we actually returned to the same store to pick up the few items we needed. Wouldn't you know it, our basket full of halloween candy was still in produce, just sitting there. LOL. That's just too funny.

Any ways, I'm really looking forward to the halloweening fun that is to be had tomorrow. Yippeee!!

Well see y'all later...

Digital tv is fun

Well we finally jumped on the bandwagon and have gotten digital tv. We opted for mts though, and it's pretty good. Of course I love having ALL the channels, but that will end in a month (boo!). Oh well it's all pretty good.

The guy took quite a while setting it up but still it's worth it. Creepy thing is that only 3 tvs can be viewed at one time, so the 4th person has to be tag-a-long with one of the other viewers. That and you can spy on the what the other people are watching. Still fun though.

oh and if i really wanted I could watch that 'bubba ho tep' lol it's on sometime tonight, hehe.

well that is all..

When I move out, I'm getting a maid

What kind of day did I have, I find asking myself. Just a typical unemployed day, right? Wrong...

It was more like that a typical day for a stay-at-home mother, only without a few screaming kids at my ankles (just a poodle). I spent all day cleaning this house. Every piece of furniture has been polished and waxed in some instances. All glass has been cleaned until it sparkled like never before. The floors swept, swiffered and vaccumed until dust feared me. *sigh* Now I'm tired. Who needs a treadmill after this kind of day. Plus I still have to vaccuum the basement rec room and surround areas, ugh.

Therefore when I move out, I'm hiring a maid or some sort of cleaning company lol. I don't mind the cleaning, my back minds though. My hands too, because know they're all covered in various forms of cleaners and smells (nothing like orange oil and windex with a little endust mixed..it's the new perfume).

At least the house will be spotless when my mom comes home on Friday. Plus I'll be doing this for the longest time while she recovers from surgery next week. Therefore I'm resurrecting my old nickname of 'the littlest housewife' from 3 years ago. Turns out I'm the one who will keep this house in tip-top condition. The men in this house aren't too capable to cleaning or willing to. My dad (aka the laundry nazis) just starting laundry for the first time since well forever. So maybe in another 30 odd years he'll be cleaning on a regular basis. LOL. My husband will definitely beable to cook, clean and whatever else. None of this me doing it all, hell no. no way.

any hoo, I have to bring the vaccuum done here or I'll not continue cleaning and what a rip off that would be.

Later dayz...

Hairdresser, who knew?

It's that time again. Yes, that time again. The time when a certain little white "rat" gets a haircut. Yup, there I said it.

The end result looks great (except that one little tiny bald spot, but shhh!). She was actually well behaved, so kudos to you Sassy. The best part was when I gathered up all the cut off hair. It was a huge furball, maybe a little larger than a grapefruit or close to the size of a cantalope. lol. I didn't think she had that much hair.

Actually it took me three layers to get her to the proper length. Mind you I didn't even change the thickness of the blade, that's just how much hair the little hooligan had. The hairball though was still hiliarious.

Mental note though, two pairs of hands are definitely better than one. My neck is killing me from trying to see around her and getting her to stay put. Oh well at least it's mostly done. I still have to trim her paws tomorrow (unless I wait until my mom returns home Friday and let her do it.... nah!! I don't want the infamous chicken-legs-dog-look to return).

Next objective to bathe her. uck! Luckily I don't get to do that because of my breaking out in hives every time I bathe her. *shrug* go figure. Mind you I did break out slightly just by giving her a haircut. Other than that I'm fine with her. Straange.

OH CRAP!!! I totally forgot to tape 'drop dead fred.' I can't believe I just remembered it was on. I even made a little note to myself to remember to tape that. UGH! Maybe it's on again ? nah... *grumble, grumble* I loved that movie when I was younger. I remember the first time I saw it my old best friend had brought it over. We must have been about 9 or 10 when it came out. We just thought it was the most funniest thing we'd ever seen. We used to love watching movies. Every sleep over we had, we were always watching movies. She had tons of movies. Her dad was able to get free movies all the time, earlier than their release date on top of that. So it was always awesome going over there and watching movies or even her bringing over some movies for sleepovers. God those were fun times.

I can't believe how long ago that was though. Man, we just loved that movie though. That was probably one of our favorite movies to watch over the years. Even though there is no friendship there any more, that movie always reminds me of that friendship. So funny how life is that way sometimes. Those were fun times though. But gosh, now I'm mad. I really wanted to watch that movie. It's so stupid now, it's funny.

Funny how as kids you view certain movies as if there is nothing wrong with them and how could any one deem them not funny, when you're convinced there will never be a movie greater than this one. Then years later, and we're talking many years later, you're still trying to figure out, how you ever thought that movie was good. Or even if you still like it, you can't explain why and you just know it's a guilty pleasure. Those moments are priceless.

Oh well, que sera, sera!

Soap operas are funny

I was watching Days Of Our Lives earlier and that show is seriously more comical than dramatic. See they've been building up to this moment all week. [note: if u've never seen the show the following will not make sense]

Supposedly Stefano has been working with Tony on the whole captive island aka New Salem. All the previews lately have been showing Stefano in his chair (with his back to the salemites, typical of a soap thing), and then Marlena going up to him then screaming. Well today they finally aired the episode and when they turn the chair it's this black, TOTALLY fake body. It was hiliarious. It looked more like someone just filled clothes with paper and stuff. It could have never been that character. It would have been better if the actual actor was there (he's supposed to eventually make an appearance, but none whatsoever so far). Any ways it was just hiliarious. I was laughing so hard at it.

Oh boy, these shows are just funny.

{............[!~*~!]............[!~*~!]............}

Harry Potter is older than me?

Ok my world is coming crashing down on me. Turns out Harry Potter is 2 years older than I. Of course this is all ficition, but still. This is very misleading. Well I guess it makes sense, but still. I can only think of him as WAY younger, not 2 years older. Okay enough ranting

sleep, and why i'm not allowed

Here's my problem. Turns out, I'm only allowed to sleep in on certain days, unbeknownst to me.

Seems I'm able to sleep in on days when I want or need to get up early. Days I want to sleep in, I'm up by 9:30. GRR.

Today I blame my brother. The idiot left is alarm clock on. Now my brother doesn't wake up easily so he usually turns on his alarm to radio on full volume. So imagine you're sleeping in the next room and no one else home (so pretty darn quiet) when all of the sudden, I hear "92 CITI fm" then it goes kind of quiet. But it oddly sounds like Phil Collins 'in the air tonight' so I'm thinking 'ok maybe I imagined the radio going off, man I'm losing it.' Two seconds later, I hear phil collins having his own little concert in my brothers room.

That brother of mine is determined to give me a heart attack. seesh. One it scared the crap out of me, two he made me think I was crazy, finally he just likes to scare the crap out of me. I'm still wondering why he had his alarm set any ways (well i know why, but the kid doesn't know how to set the RIGHT time). Siblings, yikes!

big plans for the day. Well I've accomplished 2 of them at least so that's good. I made my delicious chicken barley soup and I made myself a smoothie. Now let me tell you about my luck with that. I actually made my blender mad at me. I thought the thing was going to blow up, the smell of it overheating was not pretty. To conclude, I'm putting a fruit smoothie machine on my christmas/birthday wish list. The smoothie tastes great but still...

any hoos, I have to set up for my pie making (yes I know, I started that a week ago but passing that exam sort of changed my plans for last monday).

later dayz...

I killed two birds with one stone. sweet.

Just got home from work an hour ago. Amazingly they do remember me there, lol.

I got the phone call at almost 10pm but still it's a shift and yay. Plus I was able to e-mail my supervisor and tell her that my paycheck is missing a shift, which means I'll probably be able to get a shift relatively soon. See how it all just rolls together. Sweet! So yay another shift, more money to hoard lol.

Shift wasn't too bad. It was a little intense at the beginning. I was left alone in intensive care, for almost an hour because we had to wait for a certain things there, and extra help, etc.. etc.. Oh well it calmed down. We were actually able to sit down and relax (not including break, bonus!). Then it was lunch, then it was crazy for a while, but calmed right back down, just enough that we were able to relax some more in the afternoon (same as morning, all this on top of coffee break). Then I was done. So it was a nice day. When there was stuff to do we were busy enough that time passed fast enough and when we weren't it was nice and peaceful.

Oh well another day, another dollar. But yay! Plus this shift will make it onto the next paycheck so it's not like I have to wait until 2 paydays. The system is a little crazy there, confusing at times. It's like cut off a full week before the paycheck (totally reasonable) but it can suck if you work the saturday after the cutoff because you have to wait close to 3 weeks to get paid. Normally that's how my luck went but it seems to be turning around *knock on wood*

Well I'm off to put my feet up. Later dayz...

I HATE shopping on Saturdays!!

Went grocery shopping this afternoon, such a bad mistake. If there is anything I hate worse that christmas time at stores is grocery shopping on a saturday in the middle of the afternoon.

People are CRAZY!!!

I was ran over, pushed, given dirty looks, cut-off, etc.. etc.. All I was doing was trying to push the cart and avoid people.The best was being stuck behind this one guy in an aisle for over 5 minutes then as I went around him, he didn't even look and just flew out infront of me. UGH!!!

I just hate shopping when the stores are nuts.

Plus those carts are huge and I'm not able to drive them properly. A patient on a stretcher is a hundred more times easier to drive or push than a cart full of groceries.

Traffic jams suck there too. Plus at these stores the aisles end right near where the check-outs are, so you're bound to run into the long lines and it makes it impossible to go around to get into the next aisle. They seriously need to re-think the layout. Maybe the new store is better? well one can hope. They almost need check-outs like the IKEA in Minneapolis, that was good, of course the entire stores layout was a little odd (you actually have to go throughout the entire store just to get to the exit).

Any hoo that's my rant for now. I'd rather get up extremely early and go shopping, then wait until the middle of the afternoon. Hell I worked at that store for over a year and I know what it gets like there in the afternoon. NEVER AGAIN!!!

{............[!~*~!]............[!~*~!]............}

what a day, and not the good kind

well i'm exhausted and I didn't even do all that much. I accompanied my mom to the pre-op clinic for her upcoming surgery (2 hours there). I swear people thought I was some sort of wall-fixture. Strange people. Oh well, at least it got done. Of course I don't remember my pre-op clinic ever taking that long. But that's another issue. I spent most of the afternoon making more grape jelly. Then I got called to come and babysit my cousin because of a family emergency. An hour in the car in this crappy weather. Not fun, but it was for family and I'd do anything for them.

Now I'm just burned out. Emotionally and physically. It's been a rollercoaster all day. Tomorrow can only be better right? I hope so for everyone.

Payday sucked!

Today is payday. Normally a joyous occasion, right?

Well I didn't get paid for all my shifts!!!

*grumble, grumble* I was clearly in the book for both shifts and I know the cutoff day was last friday (after I'd worked 2 shifts, not one).

UGH!!! I was really counting on that money, now I have to go in and figure out what the hell happened.

Why can't anything work properly?

Looks like I won't be having fun at the mall...

Funny quote from me

Here's a funny quote (at least I thought it was funny). It was between this friend and I.

See we were talking about how time passes so quickly.

Me:i swear, before I know it, I'll be 3 feet tall with gray hair going 'i used to take a car to school, not those nifty hoover vehicles' lol

Him: "Car? Didn't those, like, run on gasoline??"

Hiliarious...

My computer hates me again, quel surprise

UGH!

I swear this computer has an evil problem, it's problem being that it hates me.

First the printer believes it shouldn't have to print in black, although there is tons of black ink. Next there is no colour ink left, but that shouldn't really affect the computer printing black. So everything is coming out a navy blue. I suppose it could be the program that I'm printing from, but it shouldn't do that. GRR!

Then as I was typing here, my browser decided it was time for an error and boom no more post. I copied it, I thought, but later there was nothing to post. DARN you world.

Other than it's ok *knocks on wood*

So I've been busy printing/filling out application forms, resumes and cover letters and I've got to say, I'm pretty sick of myself lol. One person can only tolerate selling themselves so much. All in the name of money and a career. My extended vacation is over, which is nice. I'm a little bored lately. Same old routine was getting a little dry. Oh well.

Plus I'm still trying to smuggle my way onto my mom's business trip. She's staying at a fabulous hotel. One of those ones with the mineral pools and stuff. Imagine the cabin fever there though, yikes! I'd be in one room for a week, well there is the pool/sauna and other stuff but still, major cabin fever. Instead it gets to be me alone with the males, that might just be scarier. LOL.

"Boyfriend Pillow"

I came upon this while flipping through the channels earlier today. This is crazy, any ways. I was flipping and then saw this segment on CNN about the "Boyfriend Pillow."

Supposedly this woman in Japan came up with the idea and I guess it just made it here, or in the news within the past few months. I just think it's bizarre. It's being marketed for those loney girls, whom obviously need something to cuddle something during the night.

Better yet, they come in different color shirts and all that fun stuff. I believe there was mention of a female version in the future (now that's scary). Best yet was how some were wishing it were more muscular and such.

One woman they interviewed said she'd rather go out and get a real boyfriend for the night then buy a pillow to do that. lol Another one wished the body was longer so she could wrap her leg around it.

What is this world coming to? Boyfriend Pillow? Scary...

Any hoo here are some links to read about it. They have pictures. It's all too strange for me..

"Boyfriend Pillow" Has Women Lining Up

I need a stretcher, STAT!

I'm still coming off my high from yesterday, it's finally starting to click in. Had a good night though. Got to go out for dinner and later on for ice-cream, so it's all good.

But OH MY GOD, am I in pain. CURSE YOU TREADMILL!!

I can barely walk or move a muscle today, it really sucks. Plus I went mall walking. *lowers head in shame* Me, mall-walking. I was like a 1/3 the age of some of those people. Plus I didn't even get to shop when the shops finally opened because my mom yakked too much with her friend and then we had to leave to pick up my brother at school. UGH! I did get to go to HMV though, that's about it. I didn't buy any DVDs though. I was looking forward to, but non that pique'd my interest. But still, I'm in major pain. I'm fine if I'm sitting but trying to walk or laying down, that's another story. Yikes! The things I do sometimes...

Oh and it turns out I didn't get that job. Oh well, it would have been great but I'm just destined for something else I suppose. Hopefully it wasn't MedRad Barbie, but with the way the world works sometimes, it wouldn't surprise me. Plus she'd screw them over as soon as something better came along, so whatever. I'm bummed, but I'm still excited over passing that it hasn't really bothered me as much as I thought it would (that will be later). Now I just have to fill out like 5 hospital application forms, oh yay. lol No biggies. It just wasn't meant to be :)

Well I'm off to drug myself. Ohh the sweet call of pain relievers, I can hardly wait...

Here's a quote from my mom earlier tonight night that was a typical quote of my mom..

"Stick with the money...it lasts longer"
This was in reference to Theresa talking about her future husbands and what the ouija board said a few years ago. Any hoo, the board claims Theresa will have 3 husbands. The first one just disappears (but he doesn't die supposedly, whatever), the second one she marries for money, and the last one she marries for love. So my mom said the stick with the money, it lasts longer. It was hiliarious. My mom is crazy like that sometimes.

BTW We all need to get together and do the ouija board again, that was hiliarious. I'm still working on Nwat Ontario. lol

I PASSED!!!

I DID IT!!!! I FREAKIN' PASSED!!!!!

OMG!! I can't believe it. I did it!! WOOO HOO!!! I PASSED, uh-huh, I rule, I passed!!!

WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I'm still shaking from it. I've been shaking since I saw my dad carrying it into the house and that was twenty minutes ago. Ok maybe it was more like me running outside shrieking asking 'Oh my god, that's it, isn't it?!?!?!" Proceeding to rip the damn envelope open, or rather fighting with the envelope. Details, details though.

I'm in shock, that's it, I'm in utter disbelief right now. I keep staring at it as if it's going to change, but it clearly states, I "successfully conpleted the CAMRT certification examtination." I can't stop the shaking though. I've never felt like this before. I feel like my hand is going to shake off. My heart is still racing a mile a minute. Wow!!

All this waiting and waiting for a little piece of paper. I didn't realize a piece of paper could affect me so much. WOO!

OMG, OMG, OMG!!! I'm so happy right now. I'm in a state of euphoria!!

*does her little 'I passed' happy dance* I DID IT!! WOOOT!!! I ROCK!!! WHOO HOO!! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!

It's over, it's all finally over!!! Two years of hard work paid off! *phew*

Now I can officially have a job!!! Nothing holding me back but me now!!!WHOO HOO!!!

I PASSED THOUGH!!!

Ok I digress, because this could continue going on forever... but yay!!!

The best use for a treadmill...

Call me a genius, but I've devised the best plan of action when it comes to using the treadmill. I decided to play that damn Buffy game while walking on the treadmill. I was so into the game, I totally lost tract of time and the feeling in my legs.

An hour and a half later, I finally decided maybe I'd had enough of being on the treadmill and was quite shocked to learn I had been walking for an hour and half straight. Goes to show you how that damn game is addictive.

Then I was so high from that I decided to rake the yard. I know it's pointless because it's going to rain soon and more leaves are going to fall, but I have way too much energy in my system.

Now I'm just waiting for my ice cream maker to finish making my ice cream. I haven't used that contraption since maybe two easters ago. The last time I made ice cream, I made 'Cabury Mini Egg'ice cream (unforunately for me I broke out in hives every time I went near it). So once that is done, I'll make my apple pies and have the best of both world. Fresh apple pie (with apples from my neighbour's yard) and fresh homemade ice-cream. It doesn't get better than that.

See all of this has a purpose. It keeps me distracted from the thought that the postal service obviously hates me and is keeping my results from me. I smell a conspiracy.

I also want to wish everyone who is writing mid-terms good luck, although I'm sure none of you need it :)

Ok it's been a while, so I decided to post a few... i'm bored, sue me...


Dark shadow. Something has drawn you into darkness
in the past, and you're now trying to get out
of it. The darkness is already inside you, and
getting it out will be hard, but if you try,
maybe one day you can be who you want to be
again. Don't give in!!!

Please rate ^^

You rule. in 15 years, you won't be as known as you
are now, but most of the people that will know
you then will like you (or else I'll beat them
with a stick). You're nice to listen to.

You're a Winter. You very much enjoy your time
alone but do like other people's company
sometimes. You just need your space. You have a
few priviledged friends who saw past your
colder exterior to find the true you. You can
have pretty bad mood swings (though you hate to
admit it) so you could be soft one second then
storming around the next! But over all, you're
a very pleasant person once people take the
time to get to know you. You're a good friend
for in-depth talks. You're very talanted when
it comes to creative things.(If you can't see

The Buffy game is so addictive

I rented the Buffy game again. It beats sitting around waiting for a letter to come in the mail, not that the mail comes on the weekend, but you get the drift.

I was playing the game last night and completely forget it has the stupidest continuous ploy. You pretty much have to finish a level before you can save the game, enabling you to shut off the system.

Me, being sleepy last night forgot this and turned the game off, only to find out this morning that I'd lost everything I did the night before. Talk about major rip off, oh well. I beat the level eventually but I still think that's stupid. Mind you I was the Spike character so it wasn't that much of a hardship. Listening to that wonderful voice, I could do that all day.

I also went to Wal-Mart (or as I call it, Hell-Mart) today to get a pedometer. That store was even more nuts than usual because of their 10th anniversary. Supposedly they opened early because of the line-ups. I heard they started at 6:30 am. That's nuts. Then again what would you expect from there. Oh well, I got my pedometre so I'm happy.

Quel relief...

*deep cleansing breath* Phew!

Okay I just finished my phone call and it seems that I'm not alone on the whole not receiving my certification yet. One my classmates hasn't heard yet, and she's bound to pass with flying colours. Little more relieved than earlier.

Okay I'm extremely relieved. It doesn't exactly mean anything yet, but at least it means there is still a huge chance that I am right and did pass. If I don't hear by next week, that's another story. Tuesday will be four weeks since we wrote that exam, so my fingers are crossed. My job is counting on this pass. I really want that job. Med Rad Barbie sooo does not deserve that job. Here's hoping though. Still means more days of waiting, more anxiety and sleepless nights, unforunately.

Still, phew! At least there is no guarantee. I was truly ready to give up earlier. Now I'm feeling better. So here's hoping :)

Sometimes I don't know why I bother

I have just spent the last 3½ hours making grape jelly? What do I have to show for it, jelly that doesn't seem like it will seal, a huge mess and sore heels. The raspberry jam was a walk in the park compared to grape jelly.

It was all crush, crush, crush, boil then strain. Boil again, pour in hot sterlized jars, etc.. etc.. Five pounds of concord grapes are so not the easiest thing to crush. See you have to do it all by hand with a potato masher, talk about time consuming. My arms are killing me from it. Luckily though I had an antique jam strainer that was my grandmother's so it was a great help.

I just had a horrid time doing this on my own this time. Well it could have been because I wasn't giving it my full attention though, I was sort of making apple crisp at the same time, but that's beside the point.

At least it's made. Now I only have to do this 2 more times. I sort of overestimated the amount of grapes needed. So any one up for some good 'ol grape jelly making? C'mon you know you wanna...

Oh well...

Still haven't gotten my results from that damn exam. It's been 24 days. I can't wait anymore. No way I'm phoning any one else, 'cause I'm having nightmares that I didn't pass (but I'm sure I did), but without hearing from them yet it's not looking good. I'm just so frustrated with it all right now. Without the pass I'm screwed. No job, only my casual position (if at all), how the hell will I last until January. UGH!! I'm soo pissed off. I'm cooped up in here all day waiting for that bloody thing. I can't stand it any more!!!!!

Plus I got a letter from the liver specialist. The bastards have cancelled my appointment and pushed the appointment back almost a full month. This day is seriously getting worse and worse by the minute. I wish they'd tell you why they change appointments. Then under "Type of appointment" it says "emergency." Yeah, that really makes me feel great. Am I that ill? *grumble, grumble* Bastards. On a positive note, it means I get an extra month to get things under control (HAH! more pain lately than anything). I need a body transplant, STAT.

Well gots to go, seems I have a phone call... later dayz

Waiting sucks

Day 23 and still no word. I'm literally going out of my mind waiting. Every morning when I wake up, it's the first thing on my mind. When go to bed at night, it's the last thing I think of. While I sleep, it's on my mind. You see where I'm going with this? This career balancing in the wind is not fun. Health concerns I can handle waiting. This I can't. *deep cleansing breath* It will be over soon, yes siree bob.

Watched 'Super-Size Me' earlier today. My goodness, that guy was nuts. Seriously put that food into perspective. I don't eat out often as it is, but after seeing that I doubt I'd be going out for food any time soon. Some of the results that were concluded from that little experiment are scary. In case you haven't seen it, the basic storyline involves this guy named Morgan and his quest to prove fast food can cause serious damage to one's body. It was actually a documentary and it's just nuts. This guy ate McDonalds food, 3 times a day for a month. It was digusting just watching him. You can only begin to imagine what happened to his body. I shudder at the thought.

The documentary was brilliant, but at what cost to his body. It's frightening to see what happened to him. I can't even imagine people actually eating like that everyday and thinking it's ok. Yikes! I enjoyed the movie though. The most digusting thing was one of the bonus features involved putting mcdonalds food in seperate jars to show how they would break down in your body in comparasion to a regular burger and fries. Suffice it to say, it was nasty. After 5 weeks, the regular burger and fries were thrown out, and after about 10 weeks everything else was too. The sick part was that the mcdonalds fries remained unchanged in that time. They looked as if they'd just been bought. How digusting is that? Gross! The plan was to leave the fries until they rotted but they were mistakenly throw out, but imagine that in your gastrointestinal tract? The fact that they didn't break down sitting by in a jar for 10 weeks with no change. Creepy stuff.

Well it's official...

Turns out I'm officially graduated. Weird thing though, is that I got my diploma in the mail. RRC sure operates different. Oh well, at least it's official. But being graduated won't help with jobs until I'm certified. Where are you certification?!?! lol

Still feels strange. I don't feel graduated yet though, how is that for strange? I was like this at high school too though, but still it feels really different. Relieved but still on pins and needles until that darn certification paper comes in the mail. ACK! I want to pull out my hair because of it, but at least I have a diploma. lol.

Well that's all.

Thanksgiving Quotes..

Warning the following is for those who are crazy at heart. Mind this is my relatives and we're all crazy. But it was fun, where else can you get hiliarious quotes. It helped my comedian cousin get jokes for his routine. Any ways here we go...

1. "You had me at John Deere"
   
   Story behind quote: One of my female cousin's (we'll refer to her as B) brought her boyfriend (M, as I will further be calling him) to thanksgiving. During dessert my cousin B was helping pass out the pieces of pie. She knocked his over when she placed it on the table. So we were teasing both B and M about it and how B should eat it because she knocked it over. Well M told B that he'd get her back. Well I guess behind the scenes my mom dabbed whipping cream on her cheek because B was laughing at knocking over the pie from the plate onto the table. [yes you really do need all this for the quote] Any ways B sat at the table and being funny M put some whipping cream on B's nose. This did not go over well. She went storming out and went power walking. [side note: this is why I say i will never have a november baby, they're all crazy, she is one and so is my brother's gf. They're all nuts. But maybe it's just a Nov. 1986 thing]. M sits at the table letting B cool off, mind you she's powerwalking. Finally he goes trailing after her, eventually taking the van out to get her. We're in a small rural town, so it wouldn't be hard to find her. Any ways, while he was doing that, A and J (my other cousins and B's older sisters) and myself were joking around and saying that M should use our grandpa's John Deere to go and get her. We remarked at how funny that would be seeing how we're in Hick's town. Any ways My cousin A said if any guy came after her with a John Deere she'd probably be his forever [I warned you we're all crazy in my family]. So then J said A would probably be "You had me at John Deere." It was hiliarious. In case you don't get it, it was a play on the movie 'Jerry Maguire.' In the movie Tom Cruise's Character's love interest tells him that "you had me at hello." Regardless of what any of you say, it's hiliarious.
   
   
2. "Did you know the guy that owns Loblaw's is named Bob? Imagine for a second that your name is Bob Loblaw, talk about confusing. Say it fast enough and people will thing you're mumbling. I'm Bob Loblaw. You might as well be saying BlahBlahBlah."
   
   Story behind quote: Ok well there really isn't any sort of story, it's pretty much straight forward. Just say it outloud enough times and you'll see how funny it is. You might need to hear other say it though. It's funny.
   
   
3. "I don't understand how he can answer all those questions about movies and music. He's Mormon."
   
   Story behind quote: I already explained this one but it's still hiliarious. My grandma is refering to that Ken guy on Jeopardy. She's just funny with her logic sometimes.

It's only 11:30 and I'm already exhausted

Went for my daily early morning walk. Unforunately for me, it was even earlier this morning as my mother wanted to be at work for 10am. We left the house by 8am and walked at Kildonan Park as we normally do in the morning. I'm sure it would have been nicer had I gone to bed before 1am, but no biggie!

Thanksgiving. It was nice. I went out to my grandparent's house (out in the boonies) and there was only one other sibling of my mom's out there, so it was small and quiet. But it's my favorite of my mom's siblings so it was all good. My cousins and I really get along (we're all about the same age). Of course my brother worked, but then again he feels he's 19 so that means he can do whatever he wants. Idiot.

Dinner was early as usual. My grandma seems to think that having dinner at 3pm is late. Silly grandma. But now that I've finished school, I don't get any Thanksgiving mad money :( My brother makes more money that (but not for long) and yet he gets the infamous "mad money." Growing up sucks. No more christmas, thanksgiving or valentine "mad money," what is this world coming to!! Hehe.

Here are some conclusions I made from Thanksgiving this year

1. I vow never to give birth to a baby in November, so no sex for my guy between the months of February through March, maybe April.
   
2. You are never to old to play at the playground.
   
3. Swings are not your friend, as the dizziness will catch up to you.
   
4. Never admit you know how to cook asparagus.
   
5. Making jokes at the dinner table is fun.
   
6. Never let grandma have her tv remote, or you'll be stuck watching jeopardy and having to listen to her talk about that guy Ken. She's crazy, and believes it's a conspiracy. But then again she can't understand how "he understands or gets all those questions about movies and stuff if he's Mormon." Grandma logic is scary. I'm thinking Amish and Mormon, mean the same to here, who knows.
   
7. It's never too late to become a gang.
   
8. You are never safe from the camera.
   
9. You should never tell your significant other where the spare key to your house is, because they'll show up in your house when you get home.
   

In other news, I'm afraid to get the mail. Honestly, I shake everytime I go to the mailbox because my results from the national should be here this week. It's crazy. I can't sleep at night without dreaming of it, nor am I able to sleep properly either. Plus I have that interview this week, so really my nerves are like jello right now. I'm going crazy. *big cleansing breath* ok, I'm ok now, really.

Well it's lunch time...

later dayz..

Rest in Peace Superman!

Just after thanksgiving dinner, I learnt about the death of Christopher Reeve. It's so sad. I can't believe he passed away. He had made such progress such the accident. I'm just shocked, it's really sad.

I actually couldn't believe it when they said "how the world will remember christopher reeve." Very sad. Hopefully he's found his legs again and he's flying through the air :) He will definitely be sadly missed. He'll always be Superman to me!

Here's a song just for you Superman!

"Superman's Song" (crash test dummies)

Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing

[Chorus:]
Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not
Folks said his family were all dead
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going

Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."

Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

{............[!~*~!]............[!~*~!]............}

Must avoid spoilers, must avoid spoilers....

I finished revisiting ALIAS tonight. Now I'm extremely curious as to what happens in the new season. I just wish I didn't have to wait until January. After seeing season 4 promo pictures, I'm very much intrigued. But I must resist temptation...so tempting though....

I don't want to know anything about this season and I think I've done a really excellent job of doing so. I just know there is less Sark (David Anders, although he will show up on CSI eventually), which totally saddens me. Then the guy that plays Weiss (Greg Grunberg) could potentially be gone because he has a pilot out there. What is this world coming too.

Plus so much suspense. What is up with the end of the season, ah!!! I was doing so fine, now I want spoilers, gimme gimme gimme!!

My feet would hurt less if I had walked across hot coals slowly!

Work, work, work. I think it's all I do...Hey! wait a second, that's right I don't work. Okay so anyways I'll cut down on my wacky tacbac-ky.

Went to work at the hosptial tonight(hence my posting at midnight). I really only took the spot because I realized I would get two shifts on one single paycheck. Getting paid for two shifts on one paycheck is most definitely the best thing (in my opinion). Ok so maybe is because the highest amount I ever get. That shall change soon though, mwhahahha! Ok ok, I digress.

Actually I didn't really want the shift because I've been sick for the past few days. Ralph and I have decided that we're going to take some time apart again, so it's all good. Food is still not my friend, but eventually it will be again, I assume, right? Oh well, I took the shift nonetheless. I wasn't too sick today, so it worked out alright.

Do I regret my decision? No, well, ok maybe a little. It was really nuts. I was stuck in the emerg xray because it was so crazy. Every time I tried to leave there would be another knock at the door (that means another requisition is in the door). I've seen way busier, but still it was just non-stop, yet the night still took forever to end. I hate it when that happens, oh well, c'est la vie. I survived. And I get paid, so yay!!! I love that I now get paid for working there. HAH!! No more grunt free labour from me!!!!

Oh and I returned my Alias earlier today. And so far it seems to work properly. Very strange that just that one disc didn't work, but whatever, I got a new one. Yippee!!

Plus while I was out today, as we were driving down Regent Ave. we noticed there were 4 firetrucks, 2 ambulances and every one evacuated from the Future Shop. Very strange. They even had a latter going up the side of the building. It was very, very strange. My goal is to now learn what happened. Still it's crazy. We phoned my brother, wondering if he was there (because he was in the area and said he was going there), but he said just as they left they passed some of the firetrucks and ambulances driving down the road. So very strange. I will find out, it's not like something like that wouldn't show up in the papers or anything, right?

Any ways, I'm going to watch some ALIAS, as I am far to awake to go to bed (dang you hospital and making me run around like a chicken with it's head cut off!).

Later days!

Cruel, cruel world...

I finally have gotten back to watching my alias season 3 dvd set. Watching Roswell made me realize how I was neglecting my alias.

Today I was watching the second last disc. I went to watch the special features on this particular disc, but for whatever reason it doesn't work. Fine whatever I say. Then I watch the first two episodes, nothing wrong there.

The third episodes, not so lucky. It's all scrambled and the audio is also scrambled, similiar to the special feature. I have no luck whatsoever involving dvds. First there was my '13 going on 30' and now my 'alias season 3.' Coincedence that they both star Jennifer Garner and were both purchased at the same store? I think not. It's a ploy I tell you, a ploy!!!

Now I have return these dvds to the store and tell them they suck. *angrily shakes fist*

Is it possible to get a restraining order for Ralph?

Well Ralph has been knocking on my door again. Not happy. I thought I rid myself of Ralph and his giant white telephone, but obviously I'm wrong. So I ask, is it possible to get a restraining order for my old friend Ralph?

Moving on...

Went shopping for a new dishwasher, ours crapped out. I always hate going to stores. Why, you find yourself wondering. Why it's because, salespeople are like hawks. They swoop in on you, before you even have a chance to catch your breath in their store. You can tell when exactly they are going to go in for the kill.

At one store in particular, we'd barely opened the door and we had a salesperson in our faces. Then later we're talking with another sales guy and we specifically asked if there would be any deals or sales coming up soon. He flat out said no.

This morning we open the paper and imagine our faces when we see the exact same dishwasher at the exact same store as we bought last night, $50 less than what we paid, less than 12 hours ago. Colour us red. I hate it when they lie like that. Stores usually know two weeks inadvance when sales are going to come out, and I highly doubt this guy didn't know that tomorrow it would $50 less. Totally pisses me off. But that's the life of a salesperson, they have to rely on their commission. Still where is the decency? Oh well they will have to reimburse us that money or as customer's we're entitled to return it (although we don't even have it yet) and rebuy it at the reduced price. Grr to you store!!

Well back to watching Roswell... later days

"i get no respect"

Sadly Rodney Dangerfield has passed away. The man who [gets no respect] finally has from all his collegues. He will be sadly missed for his comedic lines and self.

I remember reading a few months ago that he was having surgery, and realized at that point he was no spring chicken, but I still wished him good luck. I later found out the surgery had caused a stroke, further resulting in a coma state. It's just sad. I didn't know him personally or anything, it's just realistic to see after working in a hospital. Very sad thing. Looking at all the procedures he had done, he's actually made it longer than he could have. At his age, surgery is a huge deal. Heart surgery, brain surgery and abdominal aortic surgery is alot of stress on a body. Luckily he came out of his coma briefly last week before passing on.

Just thinking back to all the movies I'd seen with him always cracked me up. Ladybugs is probably the best movie I can remember. I loved that movie. I couldn't get enough of it back then. I still watch it, if it's on tv now, although it's more of a laugh to see the clothes and such than the actual movie. Caddyshack is another great movie. That was a staple from my early childhood, albeit more for the dancing gopher than anything.

Good luck to you Rodney and hope you're getting that respect you so rightly deserve.

Sugar, how I love thee

Went walking at the forks today, it was great. My dog is on crack, but that's nothing new. So being at the forks, you can't just go and not visit Sugar Mountain Express, it's inconceivable. Of course it wasn't open when we went, but it was only 9:45, so we decided to wait and see if it opened at 10 am. It did, so yay the three of us (my adoptive scottish gran, mom and me) went and bought candy. Yum! I found some candy I hadn't seen in a while. I actually haven't been there in probably almost a year so it was great being there. It's such a cute and quaint store. One of these days I'll make it to the mother ship version, lol. Any ways sugar rules!!

Okay more rants. Well I had some rants but I can't remember all of them (scatter brained I know). First of all my brother is a total asshole. I've actually found a way that I can get him to do my bidding only because he figures I'm mad at him, and yet he can't figure out why or what exactly he did (he has lists). It's quite tense here. His gf (or umbilical cord as I refer to her) is brainwashing him and it's just annoying. He's so disrespective to my mom that's it's sick. He's only nice when he wants something. Now he's just being a total prick. He helped us one day while we went through all those boxes of storage and stuff. My mom shouldn't really be lifting because of her hernia but it's no use waiting for him to help. Times like these I can't wait to move out, which I won't be doing for another year or so. Yikes!

Thanksgiving is coming up and it seems I won't really be doing much, besides worrying about my CAMRT results and preparing for my job interview. We'll probably end up not doing much right now because the males in my family are all pricks and my grandparents are out of town so not much going down this year. Granted I just saw a bunch of them at my grad party so it's ok :)

Well time for bed, got to be up earlier tomorrow.

The intense heat of lightning forces nitrogen in the air to mix with oxygen, forming nitrogen oxides that are soluble in water and fall to the ground in rain. Plants need nitrates to survive, so without lightning, plants could not live.

Gov't checks rule!

Yay I got my GST check today, yippee!! (remember it's the small things that amuse me.)

Then I had a guest who came over and dropped off a card for grad, I just never realized how many people were proud of this accomplishment. My mom even ran into some old neighbours and they were asking about me and if I had finished. It's just amazing sometimes how you affect people lives so much that years later they still wonder how you are and such. Sometimes it's just easy to forget people can be genuinely nice and actually care about you. Ok now I'm all mushy, but it still surprises me every day.

Well I survived my shift on Saturday. It was actually a nice day. It was steady but in a good way. Barely any moments of waiting for work, which makes the day go by nicely. Before I knew it, it was 3:30 and time to go home. Shifts like that are always nice.

I finally got around to watching 'Lost' the premiere. It was ok, I don't think it knocked my socks off or anything. Maybe I just expected more, but I still did find it intriguing. I'll continue to watch it though. TV sucks so much these past few years that I'm lucky I find any show that catches my attention long enough to get interested. I think 'lost' is the only new show of this season, I'm watching. Many of them were just let-downs.

Roswell dvds tomorrow though, yay!! Not sure if I'll buy them or wait until Christmas. I still haven't finished watching Alias s3 though. But I'm at a good episode, the one with Vaughn and Sark in the same scene. I imagine this is what heaven would be like *wink, wink*

Oh well, I'm off to still finish cleaning up the rec-room. The madness will never end!!!

Friday already?

Where does the time go?

Not a bad day today. Just a nice relaxing day. A little 'futurama' and 'alias' and some more sorting of memorbilia. Felt like crap all day but I attribute that to the fact I slept with my window partially open all night.

I did finally get called in for a shift. Unforunately it involves waking up and getting to work for 7:30 am. This is some sort of punishment, I swear! The last time I woke up that early was for my exam, and before that was probably when I was still in school. I know, I know, bad me. We'll see how much fun going to sleep will be.

Oh and I'm excited. I just found out that I can watch the pilot episode of 'lost' tomorrow night. Yay! I am redeemed. Plus I get a double dose of 'nip/tuck' next week, how sweet is that? Yummy!

Spaceballs 2 confirmation on the intent to be made. Read here for proof . Well as I said before, let's just hope it's not a let down.

Also, there is news of X men 3. More hugh jackman and his glorious body. Okay so it didn't exactly confirm any casting, but more of release of who will write the screenplay, but to me it means 'yay more hugh jackman.' Click here to read.

Beware of fradulent Vartan news. I was reading Kristin's Weekly Column and it was frightening. I guess there were rumours going around that Vartan was leaving the show after the 8th episode (I think I'm having a heart attack just at the thought of that). She [Kristin] says according to her people at 'alias' this rumour is false and that her sources have so far *knock on wood* been right. So let's just hope her sources are truthful, because that would seriously suck. I already hate the fact there is a Bennifer2 (Jennifer Garner, what are you thinking, seriously? Ben Affleck, the guy is supposedly an ass, so I hear from people that saw him here last summer while his then gf j'ho was filming 'shall we dance'). Oh well...

Tootles all!
