I can tell it’s close to the end of the week. I feel completely and utterly spent! My eyes are burning and all I want to do is put my head down. I heard that there are some companies that actually equip their buildings with nap rooms, quiet places employees can go to rest during the day. We don’t have one of those where I work. My old company had a game room. It was really rather silly. No one ever went in there other to eat lunch. I rarely went in there because I didn’t want people to think I didn’t have enough to do. Ahh, the gold ole days. At any rate, I have a bunch more calls to make– must generate business! Only a few more hours left in the day. Soon I’ll be home and putzing.
Ich werde überleben
I’ll figure it out.
You won’t believe this….
But I just did an impression of Jackée Harry for Lisa. Circa 227. OOooooooo, Mehr – Eeeeeeeee!
Thinks that I am her one
This morning, in the elevator, I pressed the button for my floor. The button lit up and immediately I thought of the video for Billy Jean by Michael Jackson. You know, where he steps on the sidewalk and with every step, the sidewalk lights up like elevator buttons.
2 down, 1 skipped
I air kissed more people today than ever before. At 3:00, Rob and I went to my cousin Bradley’s graduation party. I greeted oodles and oodles of relatives with hugs and kisses. At 6:00, Rob and I left and I kissed everyone farewell. We drove to Rob’s nephew’s graduation party where I greeted all of Rob’s oodles and oodles of sisters and brothers with kisses and hugs. We left at around 8 and of course, everyone got a kiss goodbye. We had one last party to go to but we decided to skip it. Good thing, I was all hugged and kissed out.
schadenfreude
I thoroughly enjoyed the Paris hoopla yesterday! I didn’t watch any TV, I just read the online articles. I feel horrible that I took so much joy in looking at the pictures of her crying in her car and having to be taken kicking and screaming back to jail. The thing is, I do feel she deserves it more than anyone because she of all people COULD AFFORD TO HIRE A DRIVER. Me? I would be up sh*t’s creek! Suspend my license and I would truly be in a terrible situation, trying to find a way to work.
It must be catchy!
Dang it! This is what happens when I spend an evening watching TCM’s Screened Out: Gay Images in Films–
Google Video recommends:
Cher Does West Side Story
Oi
Maybe I should have taken a walk rather than plopping in front of the television and watching Sign of the Cross with Claudette Colbert and Charles Laughton? What a crazy movie! I couldn’t get over the arena scene– elephants stomping on people and picking them up in their mouths, cave women skewering dwarves and then holding them up, shishkabobed on their sabers. And the horrible horrible end where I suppose the Christians prevail— meaning they walk out to their deaths– getting eaten by lions. There was also a silly lebanese dance and that’s the reason the movie was shown on TMC last night. Every Monday and Wednesday through June, TMC is showing movies that feature a subtle or not so subtle reference to homosexuality (not that there’s anything wrong with that.) I think it was the dance as well as the presence of Charles “Nero” Laughton’s catamite that made them choose Sign of the Cross.
At any rate, I am tired beyond tired. I’ve got to get more active. This falling right into bed after work and not moving is just not healthy. I had been doing it through the winter and thought once summer arrived I’d change my ways. I haven’t and I must.
Nikita Fu!
You can watch La Femme Nikita episodes on AOL!
This episode is one of my favorites! It’s from the first season and in it, Michael and Nikita pretend to be a married couple. A terrorist thinks that Nikita is a psychic and he asks her to help him communicate with his dead son. My favorite part is at 09:54/44:47 when the terrorist is like, “Why don’t you use your power to help me speak to my dead son!”
And Michael is all like, “It nearly killed her, that’s why she doesn’t do it any more!”
Gosh! I LOVE THIS EPISODE!
You can also watch Kung Fu episodes, like this one called Spirit Helper that co-stars Don Johnson who sports a very brief loin cloth. And if you are really feeling like it, watch The Cenopath. Rob and I watched this one last week and it just made no sense to me. I could use an explanation.
Pergo dreams
I had a dream that I came home to find my carpets ripped out and tons of ikea flooring squares hastily placed down. My cousin Johnny appeared and told me that Ikea was having this huge sale and so he bought three different types of flooring for 135.00 and he was laying it down for me. I had my choice between a very pale, almost grayish wood, an orange tile and a very dark brown, almost black tile. Looking at the different floorings, I was a little disappointed that instead of having the nice hardwood floor I wanted, I would have to accept crappy Ikea laminate flooring. Yet, I was so happy to be rid of the carpet and even the laminate flooring looked better. That’s it. That was my dream. I think if it wasn’t official before, I am definitely a homeowner now- dreaming of pergo.
