Yearly : 2010

Wherefore art thou, blog?

Hello, little blog. Have I forsaken you for a house?

I love our house – haven after unfullfilling days, patient palette for my mad decorating schemes, ultimate cubby hole for my magical stuffs, and resting place of my sweet jackass husband. Be it ever so humble, and all that.

I have a new ukelele! It is unlike any ukelele that I have ever had, in that it is real. I plan on headlining at the Met with my new opera entitled Der Zaubukelele in which there will be giant birds, a snake, and all manner of ridiculous tomfoolery. My fame awaits!

I recently discovered Plants vs. Zombies. About time the “cute zombie” niche was filled.

I have also decided it would be just tops if I could have a kick-ass robot suit, a la Bubblegum Crisis. It would be better than being able to fly, because then I could kick ass. The older I get, the more I find value in the idea of kicking ass.

It appears as though I will fail most spectacularly (and if you must fail, that’s the only way to go) at my ambitious reading plan for 2010, although there is always next year. As mortality threatens, so must the reading list be devoured more devoursomely!

Off to the vicinity of bed, to read and sleep, perchance to dream of Robson Green…

Smiting the stupid

Another Black Friday, another story of people being trampled. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people? It’s that fucking important to save $10? If I had been the guy on the floor while people LEAPT over me to get into the store, I would fucking lose my mind. If I were the manager of that store, I would make goddamn sure there were four employees out there at the opening of the door and anyone who pushed or shoved or JUMPED OVER SOMEONE ON THE FLOOR IN PAIN I would just make them go to the back of the fucking line. Goddamnit, people are shitheads. I’m so over most of humanity. UGH.

Here there be…

Yes, there is now a house in my life. We’ve had it for almost a month, and the unpacking is still not done. We’re slowly shining her up, but it’ll take awhile. It’s very nice. Also, very tiring. :) Pictures and stuff soon.

Frog prince

For everything good that happens, something bad will happen; our purchase offer was accepted, thus – what? What terrible thing lurks in the future? My insides are properly knotted – even more than when I got married. It’s the slow pace of it – how I sit here blogging when I could be underwriting my own loan, appraising my own property, closing my own purchase. But I can’t do any of these things. They are all out of my hands. This is best, most excruciating nightmare I’ve ever had: I am about to buy a really, really big toy, and I DON’T GET TO BE IN CONTROL.

It’ll all be fine, I’m fine.

Curt’s watching XXX. This movie is completely ridiculous. We’re almost through all two hours of it, and I’ll bet Vin Diesel’s going to parachute out of at LEAST two more planes. It could be a drinking game.

The weekend rotation

Filing receipts and updating Quicken while watching Zombieland. This will most likely become another one of my weekend favorites. It joins the following list of movies I watch regularly while tidying up ’round the Ponderosa:

  1. Dawn of the Dead
  2. Silent Hill
  3. Double Indemnity
  4. The Postman Always Rings Twice
  5. Psycho
  6. Little Miss Sunshine

Nothing like a little survival horror / dysfunction to start a great weekend. :)
