I am so happy! Rhapsody finally FINALLY added one of my favorite bands to its library!!! SMOKIE!
My absolute favorite track is Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone but there are songs listed that I’ve never heard before!
Smokie’s lead singer sang Stumblin’ In with Suzi Quatro. In fact, Rhapsody has started adding Suzi albums too!

You know how I am always talking about how totally unproductive I am, right? So this weekend I decided to do something about it… I watched two movies from my “Movies I Want to See List!” I watched My Name is Bruce AND Twilight! My Name is Bruce was totally stupid and I liked it a lot. My favorite part was when Guan-Di, the Chinese god of war and protector of the dead and bean curd, chopped the teenager’s hand off while he was copping a feel of his girlfriend and the severed hand remained on her boobie. Yeah, I liked that a lot. Twilight was also fun. If I was a teenager, I am sure I would watch this movie over and over and over again dreaming of that very dreamy Edward character. As it is I am in my thirties and thus found Bella’s dad to be the cutey patootey. I will say I was pretty surprised by the baseball game played by vampires… I mean, I have read some pretty horrific Forever Knight Fan Fiction… I thought I had seen/read every weird vampire story… I guess not. Vampire baseball. Who came up with that!?!

I had dreams of Nigel Bennett. Something to do with a race. I can hardly remember now.
The day was beautiful. I bought a pot and potting soil and re-planted my struggling mint plant. Hopefully this will help him thrive. I also raked my courtyard and disposed of almost all the leaves. I think I am going to have to buy a couple bags of mulch since the mulch that had been there either decomposed or I disposed of it with the leaves. It’s gone.
Finding myself home alone around 7:00, I considered visiting my parents especially since my mom made Jewish Apple Cake. The thing is, I go home and I somehow find myself sticking around until 11. Staying late isn’t really a huge issue but I would prefer to get to bed a little earlier than usual. So instead I stayed in and watched La Femme Nikita episodes. The show’s been off the air for almost 10 years and I still can’t get enough of it. I relate to Nikita– I related to her in my 20’s and I still relate to her in my 30’s. I think it has to do with how I always feel like I am fighting for my life. Whatever it is, I am certainly getting good use out of the DVD boxsets.
Woke up this morning to find Donnaville boasting an Internal Server Error. I logged in certain all I would see is the steaming remains of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. Who knows why but God was smiling down on me because all the files were where they were supposed to be and nothing was marked as changed. I wrote to the surfer dudes who host Donnaville and asked for help. In the meantime I tried to stay calm and visualized the surfer dudes helping me and not blaming the mess on WordPress.
A few hours later I got a note saying: “It appears the SecFilter directives you were using were unrecognized by Apache…” This makes absolutely no sense to me. Luckily the last sentence was “blah blah and your
site popped right up.” Whatever the surfer dude did, it worked. I was really certain it was another virus attack. In fact, BitDefender found more viruses on my laptop this morning. I think all is disinfected but I am not sure. Fingers crossed all is fine and I don’t have to deal with anymore computer issues or viruses.
This afternoon I went to the mall and looked at the iPhone in the AT&T store. I really quite like it. Its interface made more sense to me than what I found on the other Smartphones. The only aspect that I did’t like is AT&T requires a data plan when you have an iPhone. This bothers me because what happens if suddenly my cell phone stops being subsidized by work? Am I stuck paying 30.00 on top of the monthly fee until the two year contract ends? Maybe that’s something I shouldn’t worry about at this time. I don’t know. I hate to think this is yet another bill to add onto the long list of bills that already come addressed to me. Where does it end?
This is only a test of the broadcasting system.
It took me TWO hours to get home today! It’s an hour and a half there but two hours home. Traffic is to blame. Weather was a big contributer as well. It went from drizzling to pouring to pounding to bright and sunny. And now I am totally pooped. I haven’t worked out once this week! That must change this evening. I MUST go to the gym! And I really should force myself to go over the weekend to make up for my laziness.
I had crazy dreams last night. I dreamt I was late for Audra’s wedding… even though she got married two years ago! I was apparently traveling to the ceremony and I knew I should have left earlier but I didn’t and I couldn’t seem to drive fast enough. Plus I had to set my hair in rollers! And somehow my hands were greasy and they left this weird film on my hair! Horrible! Oh, and the dress I had to wear was bright blue with ugly appliqué flowers all over it. And then I found myself at Rosemont College. I was apparently going back to live and I needed to claim a dorm room. All the rooms had occupants so I asked an RA if it was possible for me to have my own room. The RA said they would only consider it if I was older than 28-years-old. I then said, “Older than 28? I am 32. No wait, I am 33. WAIT! I am 34 years old! HOW DID I GET SO OLD?!!” The jolt of that realization woke me up.
I think I need to take a nap. All that driving totally pooped me out.
It’s just a little after 5:00 and I am at home enjoying the beautiful springtime weather. I have the door open and I am hearing planes fly by, birds chirping and my psychotic neighbor ranting. She’s so seemingly normal in passing. I honestly would have no clue she was so frickin’ crazy if our houses weren’t so close together that I sometimes overhear her very weird one-sided conversations. But I did not open up WordPress to blog about Sandy. I wanted to record how happy I am with this new job that I don’t have such a painful commute and I can be outside and free at only a couple minutes after 5. It’s wonderful!
Have you ever met a person who gives you a bad feeling? It’s like you somehow know this person is rotten. Rotten through and through. There’s no evidence of any type other than this unsettling feeling in your gut? And if you have had this feeling, do you think the rotten person might be having the same feeling about you? But maybe in reverse? I mean, they are also getting a weird feeling but for them it’s like, “This person is good and I don’t like good!” Just curious.
PS My psychotic neighbor produces no unsettling feelings in my gut. I understand she had an illness when she was young where her brain swelled and afterward she was no longer “normal.” I feel she is a good person plagued by an unfortunate incident that left her with brain damage.
PPS My psychotic neighbor is now laughing in the most maniacal manner– it sounds like she’s possessed!
