the craziness

  • Aug. 12th, 2008 at 9:30 AM

reading online this morning restores my faith in something beautiful.  cloaking devices are becoming a tangible reality for three-dimensional objects! using "metamaterials", scientists can now bend light around an object, thereby obstructing the eye from seeing it, or it having cast a shadow! you may well end up wearing a circuit board and a bunch of clay, but you'd be invisible!
so exciting, you know how many applications this has in my everyday life?!? i could throw on my cloak, go grocery shopping with the self-checkout.... i could walk to my favorite bakery, which happens to be right in front of the apartment building of three different people that i could hide from, i could eat foccacia and  croissant and not have to make extremely awkward conversation about my activities since last i saw anyone. i haven't done anything, it's hard to tell anyone that. i am happy to just continue on in my nothing, but it's not a big party-pleaser.

i'm convinced that white skirts do not exist in stupid, small-coastal towns. i have been scouring the whole town for a skirt for a white party later this week. so far i've just found a lot of ugly white jeans and short-shorts which almost touch my knees. i am thinking i may have to sew one, but i don't know how well that will go over. i have not even looked at my sewing machine in months, let alone attempted clothing with it. 

my hair is now reddish with blonde highlights. it's a good change. a little funky for work i think, but i'm convinced that they are so busy that they will not notice until my hair has dulled a little and is ready for a touch-up.

today i'm going to find some decent fruit if it kills me. I'm thinking of something in the nectarines or perhaps a berry? everything this season has been a little sad so i'm going to venture out to the hippi territories here and go tasting. the biggest advantage to living here is the proximity to so many hydroponic growers, they may grow their drugs, but they also throw in some amazing produce for sale. can't find it like this anywhere.

listening to the breeders discography again. makes me think of high school. too good of a band to get such an awful association, i'll need to play them while i'm doing something wonderful to make it up to them. also newly obsessed with the ting tings! they are like the new blondie, cause i've worn blondie everything permanently into my brain.

okay, last for today i think. the movie "the nines" ?!? oh my gosh no! no! no!  i was egged into downloading it. it was enough to hold my interest for the time it was playing, but the longer i think about it the angrier it makes me. seriously, it felt as if the director made a list of all the "funky indie-feeling movie tricks" and tried to fit them into a single movie. the camera wheeling about in the beginning, the movie-within-the-movie, the multiple storylines using the same actors with different character interaction, the horrible five signs they taught the little fanning girl, the horror movie-wannabe fade-ins of the character... oh my gosh no! i could spew out about the god-awful music and it's awkward timing. the fact that ryan reynolds is just better than this. he comes off without any incredible timing or interesting ways of delivering a line, which is what usually sets him apart from the rest of the cocky-funny guys. oh, and mellisa mcCarthy is best thing ever, she just is, and that's all.

whoa! it's almost august!

so life is nutso! i havent been posting while my life has been making itself slippery these last couple weeks. i gotta see the lovely, two-room hospital in Garberville, CA. i broke up with my five-year boyfriend, i started my job and i bought the cutest shoes ever!
so my training for work took me to pleasanton, CA. Charlie Murphy was performing across the street from the hotel at Tommy T's. It was the best idea. i took a couple of people who were in training with me. His warm-up act was named Freeze Love and he was funnier by far than anyone i had ever seen live. He had appeared in House Party 3 back in the day as a black cook. He did look like someone to recognize and his delivery was spot-on. Charlie Murphy did not disappoint. He referred to himself in third person, talked about Chappelle Show and wore a big effin' watch to match his giant ring and gargantuan bracelet.... all made in platinum and diamonds. His eyes bug out while he speaks and he wouldn't take any time after for photos. so much fun that night. not to mention the long island iced tea i drank after four months of not having drank.
We also swung by the Stinkin Rose in San Fran before we head home. I figured that even if my car would then smell like garlic, it'd be worth it. I only wish i had left room for dessert:( no garlic ice cream for me. next time i suppose
I now have started to sling cell phones for AT&T. it's my third day today. I'll get it eventually. if i dont, at least ill have the horrendous polo shirts they've given me. I never thought i would be in uniforms again. *sigh*
Im so behind on movies:( i just now had the opportunity to see Saving Sarah Marshall and Iron Man. i have some catching up to do. Movies marathon weekend... it must be done... must save face. had no recommendations when someone asked yesterday. i had to wing it and send them to see the dark knight, knowing in my heart that's it's a great movie and it has an added bump of guilt over heath ledger so you'll like it even more than you already would have,
more to come later.

not good at all!

hmmm...  so oh my gosh, ive been in this hotel for almost five nights... i have slept less than 4 hours or so a night, and now on my last night here I CANNOT SLEEP AT ALL! it's ridiculous cause im having the moments where you start counting how long you have left to sleep and thinking about how little time that is and how tired you'll be and at the end of that process you will have lost several great sleeping minutes. it feels like im hungry... but i know anxiety pretty well and that is all it is.
. so it should be a fabulous friday. oh well, gotta drive six hours to even get home so it'll certainly be a late friday.

packing

  • Jul. 5th, 2008 at 8:05 PM

 packing for my week long training is getting out of control. two suit-cases, toiletry case, two bags for my laptop and cables, a bag with cds/dvds/ and three books. i cant possibly expect to need all of it. but i dont like thinking of being without something that i dearly need for a week.
im too comfy at home, i think i should remove all the furniture so that i will leave more often.
i havent even gotten my groceries yet... crap

i was watching lost today, and i saw an episode in season 2 that i must have missed before, silly show only works if you watch almost every episode, things are clearer now!
life is good again.

PS.i have had it with piccolo petes... next year i storm the fireworks stalls and take em all. no more. ever. my head hurts. if only i took up drinking to dull it:)

not supposed to be typing, supposed to be packing... off i go.

 So WHAT?!?

 i couldnt help myself... too tired not to answer silly LJ questions.
best comeback ever. foiled me more than once. yes sir.

can never sleep!

  • Jul. 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 PM

  I only have one more day at this job! just one, but i cannot sleep at all... i have to be there in 5 hours... for a 14 hour shift and yet i cannot just lie down for two seconds. should all be over soon. off to pleasanton, CA... and hopefully an IHOP. mmm.. blueberry pancakes would certainly put me to sleep. in lieu of pancakes, i thought running my mouth for a sec might make me sleepy. maybe a different TV show. Gilmore Girls is just too talkative to go to bed with, i think i will try my luck with season two of numbers and see how that comes about. hope everyone comes up with something nice and wholesome for tomorrow night. ill just be here, trying to calm the piggies and plan my driving route down south. 



my life, if nothing else, is always an adventure!
