| Ten, Two, Zoo Tycoon! |
[13 Aug 2006|10:49am] |
[mood|  lazy]
Notable dates to celebrate this past weekend...
8/11 - Bridgette Bailey's second birthday
8/12 - Tenth year anniversary since my mom quit smoking
I've tried to celebrate them but my life has been taken over by the Zoo Tycoon game. My life is mine no longer.

So how has everyone's week been? Mine's been good so far - no work until next Wednesday, saw cute UPS guy Monday before my vacation started, went shopping - oh, and my cousin Bridgette (that lovely little hair model) stuck a corn kernel up her nose and then sniffed really hard so that it got stuck up there.

Okay, so I know it's just a one night stand, and that Jason will reunite with Sam and Elizabeth with Lucky (and even this storyline aside, I hate Kirsten Storms' Maxie, but TPTB decided to sex-up Maxie rather than stay with Robyn Richards who had played Maxie for years ala Kimberly McCullough as Robin...but I digress), but I have been a Liason fan since they first grieved together at Jake's seven-some-odd years ago, and given the chemistry between Steve Burton and Rebecca Herbst and the fact that these two make a GREAT couple and couldawouldashoulda been together in 2002 except that Brian "Head of Fucking ABC Daytime" Frons decided he wanted Jason with the bubble-headed bleach-blond named Courtney who, when she was pregnant, decided to fly out of the country and dive into freezing waters...but I digress. The point is, it's about fucking time this happened...
Hallelujah! Now all we need is for Liz to get pregnant, not miscarry, and have her and Jason run off together all the while giving the finger to PlayBoob Sam and Druggy Lucky.

[mood|  impressed]
I've always thought Maurice Benard (who plays Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital) was a good actor. While I haven't always liked the character of Sonny, I've always thought Maurice was one of the better actors in daytime. But after reading his recent interview with Carolyn Hinsey, the IMO Queen of the Soap Opera Journalism World, in Soap Opera Weekly, I just wanted to shout three cheers for Mo.
-----
Carolyn: How do you feel when people like Tom Cruise speak out against medication for manic depression and bipolar disorder?
Maurice: Tom Cruise thinks that he knows what he's talking about because he's read books. What about the people like me who are living on medication, and who can tell you from experience? I'm not going to tell Tom Cruise how to be a producer. Even if I read 20 books on producing, I've never been a producer. Tom Cruise doesn't really know what he's doing. What I don't like is when some people listen to him. They go, "See, Mom? I don't have to take medication. Did you see Tom Cruise saying how terrible it is?" He's trying to change the world with his own opinion, but what works for some people doesn't work for other people. I went on Oprah saying how great medication is, and I'll keep it saying it.
-----
He pretty much sums up everything that has annoyed and frustrated me since Tom Cruise spoke out about psychiatry and depression and other related illnesses. Now...who are you going to take seriously? The guy who sits and down and has a serious discussion with about his experience and treatments with depression, or the guy who jumps on Oprah's couch?
Maurice Benard is a spokesperson for the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.

2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
Myths are everywhere. Many everyday things like thunder are based on myths. It helps increase our vocabulery in words like Volcanno and By Jove! and to gain experience for future behavior.

*Hee hee hee!*
*melts in a sighful swoon*

Here are three hints:
1. What do the images of "swooning", "squeals", and giggling bring to mind?
2. The tag for the entry was lust.
3. What's the opposite of DOWNS?

| The first time I've hated the number 12... |
[19 Jul 2006|08:33pm] |
[mood|  bugged]
I HATED OCEAN'S 12.
Here's the thing. I loved, LOVED Ocean's 11. Good cast (except for Julia Roberts), good direction, good script, good everything. It also included one of film's best moments (and a statement that my film-loving family quotes constantly - which says a lot about the movie) when my cute-patootie Topher Grace, playing himself, proudly declares that he has all reds (read: nothing) during a game of poker.
It really is one of my favorite movies ever. Like Top Ten. Love it.
Unlike its predecessor, the original Ocean's 11 featuring Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, the 2001 remake focused more on the con itself and less on the "Ooh, look I'm a big name hanging out and having fun with my big name castmates. Ooh, boy. We're celebrities so we can just use a half-assed script and look cool". That's what the 1960 one was mainly about. Sure, in 2001 Pitt and Clooney look cool. But their con is cooler. It was like one of film's best, most fun movies ever, The Sting, but with nine more Redfords and Newmans.
But Ocean's 12 was just like the 1960 Ocean's 11. Just some fun "Look at me" movie. The con sucked. Everything sucked.
And I hated it. No...wait...hate it.
But I like to remember happier times.

I am me. I want love. I will lose count. I have memories. I wish for happiness. I hate guilt. I miss more than I should. I hear what I shouldn't and not what I should. I wonder when. I am not carefree. I sing everything horribly. I cry all the time. I make with my hands my world. I write when I please. I regret too much. I need to know. I should learn. I must remember to let go. I don't have enough time.

| Saving the world...before bedtime |
[18 Jul 2006|11:01am] |
[mood|  hungry]
One of the best TV shows ever? Why, The Powerpuff Girls of course! (Duh.) I once even mentioned their devilish villain in one of my literature classes (poor Prof. Boardman...Bible as Lit will never be the same). You know, the creature who is so awful, so evil that he can only be referred to as...Him...
Little Bubbles is co-namesake of my LJ username what with her fear of everything, need for a kajillion stuffed animals, love of pretty things, and tendency to have a crush on celebrities...but she, like me, is HARDCORE!
Here's some wit and wisdom from the our favorite little girls who save the world before bedtime.
Blossom: We're the Powerpuff Girls.
Buttercup: We fight crime.
Blossom: That's what we do.
Bubbles: Duh.
(Buttercup gets her first allowance)
Professor Utonium: Buttercup, what do you say?
Buttercup: What? What can I say?! "Thank you" isn't enough to express my gratitude! This is the first piece of currency I've ever owned and it's all mine to do with whatever I want! I've never had this feeling before!
Professor Utonium: Well, I'm glad you like it.
Buttercup: Like it?! I love it! The feel, the smell, the taste, the POWER! Now I understand why Mojo's always robbing banks!
Mojo Jojo: Hey, you kids, get out of my moat, it was not meant to be played in. I must remember to destroy those kids after my breakfast has been eaten.
Bubbles: We'll be forced into hard labor by evil-forced cobbler elves!
Buttercup: Evil-forced cobbler elves?
Bubbles: Well, yeah.

So...hot UPS guy comes in just a few minutes ago...around 5:30 like every evening...except this time he's talking about how hot it is outside. And how hot his whole entire body is because of it. And how it's really hard to concentrate and work when your whole entire body is that hot. And how you need to just go for a swim to cool off your whole entire body because it's so hot.

[mood|  drowsy]
This article by Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly is a few months old, but is still very funny...because it's true. Though written for professional athletes, this could also apply to any celebrity, politician, or public figure. Just replace "coach" with "assistant", "beat" with "oral sexed", and "bat boy" with "Baldwin brother".
----------
Regretlessly Yours
By Rick Reilly
Star athletes tend to get themselves in more hot water than Top Ramen. Last week alone, Keith Hernandez, Kenyon Martin, and Delmon Young all had to do major damage control for bad behavior. But now, thanks to the discount law firm of Wheezle, Wangle, and Dodge, stars can save boatloads of p.r. and legal fees with the first-ever Do It Yourself Athletic Apology - the No-pology(TM). It's the best way to say "I'm sorry" without really meaning it. Try it next time you're busted! (Clear throat and read sincerely.)
*****
THE NO-FAULT APOLOGY
Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by saying I'm acutely aware of the accusations that I (pick from Menu A). Let me state categorically and on the record that (one from Menu B). What everybody involved needs to clearly understand is that (Menu C). And I refuse to let the (Menu D) win. Still, if (Menu E), then I would definitely like to take this opportunity to (Menu F). But I'll tell you one thing, I (Menu G). Peace. Out.
Menu A (OFFENSES)
* tested positive for every chemical on the element chart
* insulted an entire race/gender/religion
* beat the bejesus out that meter maid
* groped most of the Rockettes
* threatened to kneecap my coach
* kneecapped my coach
Menu B (EXCUSES)
* I have no recollection of doing any of that
* it is what it is
* my meds were way off
* that's just (my name) being (my name)
* it was the arthritic rub
* I had to do something; they dissed my peeps
Menu C (RATIONALIZATIONS)
* people just build you up to knock you down
|
* things got blown way out of proportion
* I didn't know that the damn things was loaded
* people should be curing cancer, not hassling me
* nobody would've said a word if I were (name different race)
* nobody told me cops can dress like hookers
Menu D (SCAPEGOATS)
* media
* haters
* liberals
* terrorists
* Girl Scouts
* voices in my head
Menu E (DISTANCING PHRASE)
* my actions were somehow misinterpreted
* my T-shirt was taken out of context
* people are that PC
* one little flag-burning offended the mouth-breathers
|
* my Rosie O'Donnell impression bothered anybody
* the wildfires have become a distraction
Menu F (NO-POLOGY(TM))
* turn the page and move forward
* in a way, apologize, up to a point-ish
* express regret that it even happened
* feel bad for these morons
* leave it in Jesus/Allah/Vishnu's hands
Menu G (THE LAST WORD)
* sure as hell ain't apologizing to that nun
* will pick a batboy next time who can take a punch
* didn't even know those people were considered a minority
* won't ever ride my Harley in Nordstrom again
* will not torpedo any more Smirnoff/Zoloft shooters
* had my fingers crossed
