The Maccabbes and someone else. Neither of whom I have ever heard of.

We skipped them just went in for Florence.

I love them and her voice but I have to admit I was disappointed. I didn't think it was very good. You could barely hear her over the thumping music and that always annoys me. Plus she was too busy jumping around and doing theatrics than singing. She also did really really long intros to songs, the guy in front of me got up, left an arena that is big enough to hold 23,000 people, went to the loo and came back and she was still 'building up' the beginning to the next song.

Ugh. Didn't fall asleep until after one last night. I TRIED to go to bed earlier, but I just ended up laying there for forever.

My eyes hurt.

those of you who've been around for a while (okay, forever, like me!) know that i've got a habit of giving nicknames to the men in my life.

i think i need one for Steve... who has taken to texting me in the middle of the night, whilst forgetting that he now lives 2 time zones away!!!!



i should've responded to him this morning when the beeping of my phone woke me at 4:00 - because i took half a Lunestra last night and was out when my head hit the pillow at 11:30. but i'm a nice girl (sort of) and won't do that to anyone, no matter how much they might deserve it!



for anyone wondering who the heck Steve is... i went on one date with him this time 2 years ago. we had an amazing time together (or so i thought - i think it's around page 12 of the online dating thread), what was supposed to be one drink turned into me getting home at 2:00. then nada!

i ran into him at the market a couple of months later, we went out a couple more times - again, *great* dates - and again they went nowhere. so i didn't bother asking him again.

i ran into him a few times (his son lives near me) and we've kept texting and emailing sporadically. earlier this year, the company he works for closed and he went to Alberta to look for work. he was home for a short while over the summer, but spent his time on his boat on Lake Erie, so we didn't connect.

a month ago, he sends me a series of texts telling me that i'm the woman he thinks about all the time and wants to be with and that he made a mistake letting me go. my reaction was this...



he couldn't have told me this when we lived in the same city???

so now i get texts and emails all the time signed with kisses...



but he thinks he might have to move out there permanently and there's no way i'm leaving my job and house... *sigh*

I am constantly amazed that women get picked apart if their bodies are not in perfect condition (not too skinny, not too fat, not too curvy, not too flat, not too flabby, not too muscle-y), but men "get by" with anything.

This show Marriage under Construction on TLC....the wife looks like your average American woman size (maybe a 12 or 14...I think that's average these days) and the husband is morbidly obese. I rarely see the reverse. And the guy being bigger is often framed like some kind of virtue. If it were a woman she'd probably be like that newscaster a few months back, getting letters telling her how disappointed people are in her inability to get in shape.

Thoughts I think after being awake for 6 hours. smh

So I have these lovely things I managed to procure called laundry baskets. They are these absolutely amazing devices designed to hold laundry. But they don't seem to be very intuitive. No one in my house seems to get them but me. I am constantly finding laundry right next to the basket. the exception being when I have a clean load in the laundry room that I haven't put away yet. Then everyone puts their dirty clothes in that one.

One of my coworkers is in the process of divorcing her abusive husband of 25 years.
My boss essentially just DEFENDED the man to me - well, more along the lines of victim-blaming "well, she had to have known he was like that when they got married" ; "yeah, he was violent and would beat people but other people, right? like people he encountered on the streets"

It is always amazing when people attempt to hide a walrus behind a cheese grater. (Hahahahaha)

I was always given a laundry list of drugs I was never allowed to try by my friends. I was never quite sure where that came from, but I would play along. Apparently, I was jacked up enough already and specific substances would make my heart explode.

Thanks to your Public Service Announcement, I live to see another day!

I'll reiterate. Boss, you're playing with fire. These systems need maintenance every week. If anything, just a shutdown and restart. But don't take my 24 years of experience as a tech & sys admin seriously. Listen to the non-communicative dumbazz sys admin that nobody can trust because he just gabbles nonsense all the time. You're the only one who takes him seriously as a sys admin for a reason.

Omg nothing is working right today It all started with a dish washer...

Kat, I am sorry you were disappointed by the show. That is a let down. I have been to a few where the sound levels were messed up. It is a let down.

Boy shorts are Biscuit cutters.
You have to like have no thighs to rock them.

Unless they're VS boy shorts then they are just cheek crawlers

Wow, that's me, too! When I spoke to my dentist about teeth clenching, and my self-diagnosis, she was impressed that I figured it out. She concurred that teeth clenching will cause knots in the masseter. Then, over time, as it stays knotted, it will affect the surrounding muscles, and they will become knotted, too. I had a "stuffy" ear in addition to an ear ache.

I had been checked by every specialist you can imagine. I don't want anyone to think I just pooh-poohed what my doctors were telling me. I had x-rays, a CAT scan, saw my GP, 2 eye doctors, an ear doctor, two dentists, and finally a neurologist. I was given a clean bill of health on all points. My symptoms do not fit migranes, so they were all "stumped" as to what was wrong with me.

I say "stumped" because a with little perseverance on my end, and a $13 book about Trigger Points and how to massage them, I managed to relieve every last symptom I had... I feel like I was being jerked around to keep the cash flow going.

So, as of right now, I don't need meds or regular doctor appointments. I'm a believer in the healing powers of massage.

Massaging knotted muscles hurts like a #*@&%, but it gets less and less painful every day, and is worth it in the end.

I'm currently sitting at my desk doing this - it is not pleasant but it IS releasing my jaw that's been hurting for 3 weeks....

I really want to like this Lifeproof case, because I appreciate how tightly sealed it is, but goddamn, the power button is freaking impossible! So is the silence button! My fingers are sore from pushing down on them!

So I told my mom to text me her SSN because I need it for some paperwork. Of course she says she doesn't know how and I explain that it's really very simple. I text her so all she has to do is reply. She texts back "I can't now" instead of texting me the number. WUT? Like, it no doubt took her longer to type that than her number, which I know she knows by heart. Day later, no number. I have to hand the papers in today. Someone give me a logical explanation of why she couldn't just text me the freaking number.


KurlyKae, aside from the weather, I think the shock is more SoCal versus northeast. I suppose to a lot of people Boston might seem more impressive, but coming where I'm coming from it's just not. I don't like the transportation, but it's better than a lot of other places. I find it extremely white and lacking in cultural mingling, but some find it diverse. And really, almost nobody knows how to ride an escalator here! I've had like one escalator ride where someone didn't clog up the left lane.
Mostly I think this Junot Diaz quote is actually really spot-on for me:

Starbucks took an unpopular stance that unlike, say, Chick-fil-A, isn't about infringing on the rights of others.
Of course, this is all moot since I don't patronize SB anyway.
