I totally have this piece of metal something sticking out the side of my rear passenger tire. It's been losing air, but filling it back up seems to be working so far. Hopefully, at least until Friday. Which is when I hope to take my car in to the tire place. I cross my fingers, and hope everyday that I make it to work and back without a blowout. So if you see some poor girl on the side of the road with a flat between now and Friday, please stop and help her. It might just be me. And we all know I need all the help I can get.
There... that's better. Big breath in... and out "Aaahhhhhhh" A very good pic of Ewan courtesy of Becca's blog to make me feel all shiny. I'm not freaking out any more. I swear :)
The other day on my way to work I saw a guy riding a bike with no hands. Not to say that he didn't have hands, just that he wasn't holding on to the handlebars. I just had to smile as he glided past me with his hands in his pockets, I always wanted to learn how to do that. As a little kid I would try and try. Circling my house over and over again, I would let go of the handlebars, start wobbling out of control, only to grab the bars again at the last second. (hey look, its my life) I was just amazed at this guy, lazily sitting back, hands in pockets, as he soared down the pavement without a care in the world. I wish I could be more like that. I don't know, like I said... I just had to smile.
I just saw War of the Worlds this weekend. Good movie.
Two things really bothered me though... 1. That blue vaporizing beam could instantly turn people to ash, but their clothes were unscathed. 2. In the beginning, when that Tripod thing sent out the EMP, why did that man's video camera still work? Huh?! Why?!?!
Well, the holiday rush is finally over! I'll be honest. I've had the time to blog, but instead decided that my time would be better spent playing with all the cool stuff I got for Christmas! Plus, I've been dog and housesitting for my sister since the 25th, and her lab is really needy, and crazy, and psychotic. So, you know, that's a time sucker. And now its back to the trenches on Tuesday! No more sleeping in. :( No more diet coke and pepperoni hot pockets for breakfast. Now they're for lunch!
Serenity is releasing on DVD tomorrow! And as I stated earlier... Woo Haa! (Dancing and Chanting) I can't wait to get it! I can't wait to buy it! I can't wait to smell it, and hug it!
Wait... I think it just got weird.
And on another note... I can't believe they killed Wash! He was a leaf on the wind! I mean, come on. I love you Joss Whedon, but first you kill Book, then you turn right around and kill off Wash?! Thank God your murderous spree ended there, because if you had killed off Mal or Kaylee, I would have had to find you, and hurt you.
Well, I've already missed giving two different people one of their gifts because they're still being shipped. Some mailman somewhere has my Best Buy box wedged under the seat in his car. Just kidding, I know our postal workers have a lot of stuff to deliver, especially around Christmas. And the two people who didn't get their stuff were my brother-in-law and sister, so no big deal. Besides, I consider it partially their fault, because they were the ones who wanted to celebrate Christmas a whole week early. Here's hoping that everything else I ordered online gets here on time, because I just tracked something I got for Becca, and it is currently sitting in a warehouse in Philadelphia. :)
Finally! The Island is available for my purchasing pleasure. However, when I walked by it today at the store, I had to simply hold out my hand in longing and mouth the words, "I love you Ewan McGregor." For my hope is that someone will buy The Island for me for x-mas. Only 11 more days to go. Sigh.
I really do. Really. So, everybody wish me luck, because tomorrow after work I'm going Christmas shopping. My goal is to get everything I need in one night. Now, I know thats a lot to expect, but I'm confident that I can get it done. I've got my list, my VISA, and my comfortable walking shoes. So, I will be done shopping tomorrow. I will. I believe. I hope.
7 days left till The Island is here! It's my one true joy.
Sorry, could I be a little more dramatic?
I have one of those foodsaver vacuum things at my house, and the other day I sucked down 2 chocolate muffins in it. They shrunk to the size of... smaller muffins, and all I could think was how cool it would be to see them reinflate when I opened the bag. Then, before I could do it, someone else opens the bag... when I'm not even there! I yelled, "You took my joy!" And then felt really sad that I was actually looking forward to opening a bag of muffins for over a week. A week. Now bow your head and say D'oh.
