Rakes, snakes, and new kitty cats!

Friday, after an angry trip to the video store, I went home to calm down by
furtively petting the cat. Eddie ran to the other side of the room and looked at me like I was nuts. I calmed down when I remembered the term that George used to describe how the room should be sealed: "Tighter than a nun's cunt" he said. Jared (python boy) turned to me, with eyes wide in surprise and said "That's pretty tight!". I thought I was gonna blow a funny fuse when he said it. It was too funny to laugh at in front of him given the anger-inducing situation of our snake being stolen.

Apparently my family has a new girl kitty cat. She is mostly black, with a white chest and white paws. They think she is going to be named Lily. Such a sweet name. My brother Alex works as a kennel tech and someone where he works found this sweet little abandoned kitty girl. For being so tiny they said she is quite brave (runs out to greet you when you open the door) and crazy and doesn't mind the boys (Jake and Miles = shephard mixes). I so want to see her. But then I look at my crazy Eddie, he's just perfect....ly insane...ly lovable!

I watched the slightly skanky 'Wild Things 2', which is EXACTLY like the original, just different ho-bags starring in it. Then I was in the mood for murder and the supernatural so I watch Stephen King's 'Desperation'. It was more crappy than creepy, and it ended being very much about God and His plan for all of us. I do believe in fate and such. A primative god of some sort named Tak got out of a mine in Nevada (add that to my list of places never to drive through long distance!) and took over bodies to kill people for fun. Steven Weber tries to look cool in this movie, he so is not. His redheaded hitchhiker sidekick was cute though. Glad she lived.

Saturday, after I woke up, I found out that apparently my sister had been reading my blog to my parents and they found it hilarious. No tennis was on yet so I slept more and the watched 'The Matador' where Pierce Brosnan plays a hitman who is losing it and goes to Greg Kinnear for help. It was amusing in some parts. I took crap back to the videostore and rented more crap!

I went grocery shopping at Walmart. So boring, but yummy later! I hate fighting my way through a sea of Hautians. Still, they are better than the sassy black folks that rule the Walmart back home.

I watched "Sea of Fear". Amusing, the hot chick did it, well kind of. She got her psychopathic boyfriend to kill everone in the boat, except for the navigator who ran away and was in on it. And then she killed him (the boyfriend not the navigator).

More terror, "Ring Around the Rosie". A chick cleans out her dead grandmother's house to sell and imagine crap happening to her and her insanely hot blonde sister who happened to die when she was like 11. Lesson: repressed trauma or sadness is the horror flick all-purpose cause of the CRAZIES!!!

Tennis finally came on. It was the women's finals of the US Open. Justine Henni-Hardenne (the angry-looking little Belgian pixie) vs. Maria Sharapova (the 6'2" Russian amazon princess). This was not a fair match up. Justine Henin-Hardenne is 5'5" (that is less than one inch shorter than me) vs. the insanely-tall-for-a-girl Maria Sharapova. Though, just cuz she's huge doen't mean she still can sit on my face. I love when Maria screams and grunts when she really goes at the ball. I am notoriously loud when playing volleyball. Being loud gives you that extra force and release that makes you feel like you are playing better - even if you suck, like me at tennis. Maria Sharapova won, it wasn't even close. Amazing. I learned my little sis Lia likes A-Rod. I like the commercial where he is playing tennis against Pong!

I remembered something I forgot about...Leekspin! Check it out. It is total nonsense. It is a Finnish song put over some repeating anime of a chick spinning a leek for some reason. It is oh so funny. What is even funnier is on YouTube you can see a clip of the band whose song it is. They are such Scandinavian nerds!

Sleeping was not very fun Sunday morning. I tossed and turned a lot. Too much so to have those happy dreams that make me want to stay unconscious. I looked in the mirror when I brushed my teeth and realized how woolly my eyebrows had become. I have been letting then grow back in (from their normally perfectly shaped selves) because after too many touch-up pluck jobs during summer events, they had become uneven. I shall finally pluck them again on Wednesday, or at least that is what I think now. Other things have gotten woolly since after the wedding. I think I should take care of those too. My body is starting to look like a Chewbaca mosaic! At least I am soft and furry. For some reason I have begun using Baby Oil again after I shower. I haven't done it in years, though I have always loved the smell. My skin is so soft now! Who wants to snuggle? Oh, that's right, I'm a bit furry in places, snuggling can wait then.

I had raisin toast and cocoa for breakfast (yeah! it is almost the end of the cocoas!) while watching 'The Sentinel' with Mr. Catherine Zeta-Jones (I mean Mike Douglas), Jack Bauer (er, Kiefer Sutherland) and that little Mexican from "Desperate Housewives". A single episode (any episode) of "24" is so much better than this movie.

I made cold veggie pizza! I'll be eating it all week, but it is still yummy so I made it...OCD style! Each area I figured to be one regular little piece had the same arrangement and amount of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, and red and orange pepper). I should take a picture. Maybe I'll post it tomorrow! My parents will either laugh, or have me committed; though I don't think I am ready for a white padded room yet. Kailea is though, poor girl. She'll take anything over being tortured at home.

After making a mess with vegetables, I finally caved in and did the dishes. I ran out of glasses to drink from.

I then watched "Haunted Highway". Different lesson: guilt also causes the crazies and leads you to getting caught, no matter how clever you think you are at getting rid of the evidence/ bodies. Some photographer accidently kills his wife and drives really far to dump her body in a lake. On the way he almost gets caught by a cop, almost gets caught buy a stranger giving him gas cuz he runs out, sees his dead wife on the road and runs her over causing blood and bits to get all over the car so he has to stop and clean it and then the car is magically clean to his surprise, thinks his mistress knows what he did, so he goes and kills her, and gets caught. Phew!

Back to the videostore. Watched "United 93", not even thinking that Monday (today) was September 11. The movie was pretty good. They should have taken down those terrorist bastards sooner during the flight, they may have lived. All I remember was not believing it when I heard or saw it happen (I was a junior in college at film class that morning) and all the stuff on tv for days and weeks and months later. Poor Ashleigh Banfield! No special significance. I was not affected by it. Far worse things have happened in human history (and are still happening today) than religious assholes killing innocent people. It is just because America was attacked. What about all the other stuff?

I watched "The Weatherman" with Nicolas Cage. It was semi-amusing.My favorite part was when some polka-festival chick has bouncing and flopping on his lap while he was dressed as Abraham Lincoln. I bet Mary Lincoln Todd was never than enthusiastic!

I had my jambalaya rice (yeah Zatarains!) and watched 'The Simpsons' and all the FOX premiere crapstravaganza. It was good. My favorite quote from 'The Simpsons' epsiode was "It's like a lap-dance for my tastebuds". I laughed so hard!

I went to bed so I could wake up early and study for my Histology exam.

Today (Monday) I woke up at 5 and studied/ got ready / ate breakfast = more raisin toast and cocoa/ played with the cat until 6:30. I packed my lunch, but then forgot to bring it (the veggie pizza is so lonely in the fridge right now). At school, I found good parking (hooray!) and headed in to study more. I found a new rake George had bought against my desk so I can (*gasp*) rake up small sticks around the house. I-Han gets to mow though. I realized my cell phone clock was wrong by an hour, so I turned it off then back on and it was ok then. Weird!

I finished cramming and went to the exam. It was harder than I thought. At least I will know what kind of picky crap she tests on for next time. Who knows how it went?! At least I am not one of the Med brats that has 4 classes on one exam. Good Luck kiddies!

After the exam I realized my left wrist hurt. I don't know what I did to it (nothing fun that I can remember). It better not impede my guitar practice. I've got finger-style arpeggios (sp?) to learn so I can get better!

I found George, but he was prepping for his class and basically told me to come bother him later for the snake dirt. It was ok, I had lab to teach for 4 hours anyways.

Lab was craptaculary boring today. I sat and watch Youssef blab at them about microscopes and decided to put flip up my glasses (they are good at masking my woolly woolly eyebrows) and put my head down. As soon as I started slipping away to someplace far more exciting than lab with him, I felt the urge to fart. Goddamn broccoli on my cool veggie pizza! I was gassy the whole 4 hours! I was a total stealth bomber. They were nto smelly though.

So, I found Geoge and got the dirt on Snake-gate 2006. Apparently python boy inadvertantly let a friend in on how to get into our snake area. Python boy's friend works at Dobb's park and had been using the park to get permits to keep venomous snakes by dropping them off at the door of the conservation officer and then offering to take care of it cuz he had experience. Idiot! This douche no longer works there. He is being presecuted. Hopefully he'll get locked up for a spell and some jailbird Hautian yahoo will loose his trouser-snake on his pathetic snake stealing ass!!! Poor python boy, he's gonna be on a short leash for a while.

I have to go find George again. He has to show me how to use the vacuum and the bell jar for my snake tissue.

I just want to go home, eat, take a shower, watch a movie or two (oooh! maybe 'Surrender' will be there today) and pass out early. I have 8am lab with Swapna tomorrow and lots and lots of snake slicing to practice. Screw grading lab quizzes and lab reports, I'll do that tomorrow.

Random fact of the day: I have interesting feet. They are total hobbit feet. They are wide and I even get hairy toes. My feet are often dry and slightly dirty and have random scars on them. A couple weird ones from trying to skateboard to prove to my bastard brother Aldo when we were little that I wasn't afraid to. I try not to stand on things with wheels anymore. I enjoy them being rubbed, ever since I was little, but do not expect to have that done anymore seeing as they are generally kind of grody. I hate show shopping. Sneakers I do fine at finding, but dress shoes suck! At least they are hobbit feet and not beastly sasquatch-sized ones. Another thing about my feet, apparently they get REALLY swollen when I drive for 10 hours straight and do not use cruise control because I want to speed. I made Alex and Lia rub them. I had to wear teds (hospital thingies) for days to get them to deflate.
