One Hour of Sleep

So, talk about your 'worst day evers.' At least it ended decently. This was one for the books. Well, if you read my last post you'll know I was up late (or early depending on how you look at it). I ended up falling asleep sometime between 6:30-7am, I don't remember. At about 8:05 am, my cell phone rang, and it was my work. I was scheduled to open last minute, and although I did receive a general e-mail announcing there were schedule changes, for some reason I thought it was a different schedule, or that it didn't apply to me. So, in that respect, this whole day was technically my own fault. Which somehow makes it worse I think; regardless, it still sucked. I quickly brushed my teeth, and threw some deodorant on, along with some scrubby looking clothes and walked to work in a record 12 minutes (takes me 20 minutes on a usual day) So now I have 1 strike against me already this semester. I know I've said before that I wanted to quit, but I really do mean it this time. I called my mom after my 45 minutes, and I didn't have class for another 3 hours, and she said I couldn't turn in my 2 weeks notice right away, but the thing is, I can't wait too long because they'll have to fill my shifts in with somebody else. It's not that I hate my job, but I'm getting so tired of it, and it's been almost 2 years. Plus, everyone always goes out almost every weekend, and I'm so sick of being guilt-tripped after I miss another drunken fest at somebodies house. I'm just over it. I was walking on thin ice last semester when I missed two stupid staff meetings. It turned out fine, but I just keep getting busier. Although the loss of my bi-weekly pay check will suck, what would suck more is if I would get fired. So I plan on putting on my best, and shiniest smile, and turning in my two week notice next week sometime and pretending that my "busy" class schedule is to blame; which is technically irrelevant.

During the 3 hour break I had, I trudged back home to shower. (Yes, trudged, we just had snow, and the sidewalks by my apartment are barely shoveled. Rarely does a shower feel as refreshing as this one did. So then back to school I went to attend a lecture for a class I may not be able to enroll in, and low and behold, my friend Justin is in the class. Honestly the class was originally meant to be a back-up class, in case I couldn't get into any others, but now I'll probably take it, as Justin and I have a history of having a rockin' time in Comm. Arts classes. It was nice to have a bright spot in the day.

Currently I am waiting for the one class I'm actually enrolled in, and planning on taking, to begin. The one problem with this class is that it is Intro to Political Science; a.k.a. one of the most common freshman classes at UW-Madison. As stated in my last post, I need this class to graduate next year. But wow, I was probably such a fool when I was a freshman here. However, I somehow managed to convince Kim to take this with me because she needs a poli sci course too. I imagine there will be a lot of snarky notes being written back and forth during class and I'm looking forward to it.

I am also looking forward to Heroes coming back tonight. Check out my Confessions of a TV Addict blog for my analysis. I'm crossing my fingers for more than an hour of sleep tonight.

Insomnia?

So this is the fifth night in a row that I haven't been able to get to sleep. Last night I was up until 6am. I know it's not technically insomnia because when I do get to bed I sleep for a while. I slept until 4pm today.

I know that part of it is because my sleep schedule has been off so much because I'm on break, but I do think that part of it, is that I've been stressed about going back to school. Yesterday I found the lonelygirl15 'tubeshow' series on Youtube, and I really like it. Although I've been scouring the web for the actress' appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, but because CBS requested all their shows be removed from YouTube it's not on there anymore. Watching it makes me wish that I knew how to edit movies. However, video blogs are even more cliche than writing a text blog.

Did any of you see Colbert vs. O'Reilly last week? My Stephen killed the competition, it was amazing. On what Laura calls a 'You Tube spiral' I also found Jon Stewart on Crossfire, and wow, I have to give that guy props. I've been watching the Daily Show for the last week or two (on my Tivo that is), and although Stewart is often yelling at the TV, I really like him. I even went out and bought his book. (America: The Book). I think it would be a good read for my intro to Poli Sci course I have to take to graduate. But at least Kim is in it with me, and she knows way more about politics than I do. A few weeks ago Steve had to explain how the primaries work to me. And, they pretty much suck. Why can't the US change up the states that begin the primaries, as they basically can decide who will be in the runnings.

Kim and Laura had a party at their house last night. I wasn't planning on going, because I was being passive-aggressively angry at Kim, but I went anyways. I didn't drink anything, and I was glad. I don't mind being the sober person at the party, because honestly I was over drinking before I turned 21, even though I had only drank a little before then. And I was over bars and parties before I knew what they were. I would be happy any day with a mixed drink after dinner while watching one of my favorite TV shows. There was a boy at the party that I kind of liked. He's not super attractive, but he seemed nice. However, 10 minutes after I decided that I would ask Kim and Laura to help me persue him, I saw him flirting up a few other girls that, let's just say I couldn't really compare to. So Kim and Laura if you're reading this, I think he's out of my league, and after the incident that lasted all last semester, I'll call that he won't be that in to me right now, and save myself the time, and patheticness of being 'that girl.' I know her all too well.

On a side note, I know we said it on the podcast, but congrats to Geoff on his engagement, you and Erica are seriously the cutest. I thought your post about how nervious you were was so sweet. I guess us girls don't ever think about they guy in the whole proposal thing. Best wises, anyways.

So it's almost quarter to five, and I've been watching QVC for the past 45 minutes. I laid in the dark for an hour before I made the decision to turn the TV on, and drink a cup of orange juice. I know I'll get to sleep, but it'll only be a couple of hours before I have to wake up for school. Man I wish I knew what classes I was taking. But that's a post for another day, or early morning rather.

You touch my tra la la

I just couldn't wait to post this song when I found out what it was called. This is the "Ding Dong Song" by Gunter. It was featured in the most recent episode of Beauty & the Geek. I love it!



Update: After I found this song, I was taking a peek around YouTube and found this little gem:

Drinkin' Daze

So I suppose the main reason that I haven't been posting on this blog, as I've promised is because I've kind of been in a drunken stupor. And, if you know me at all you know that I don't really like to drink, and I certainly don't like going to bars. However, I threw caution to the wind and decided to go out not only once, but twice with my roommates. Both nights I drank a fishbowl (full of alcohol) from Wando's at UW-Madison.

In other news, I've been watching as much TV as possible, which you can read about on my other blog: Confessions of a TV Addict. And I've been staying up way too late, and sleeping in as much as possible. When I start the semester next week, it's going to be somewhat rough. (Especially since I don't know all the classes I am taking.) Tonight I'm going to see singing comedian Pat McCurdy at the Annex, and I don't plan on drinking, but I'll let you all know how fun it was.

Outlet Mall Madness

So, as I stated yesterday, I went to the outlet mall in Wisconsin Dells with my Mom, and it was pretty fun, besides the fact that it was outside, and kinda cold. My Mom got some stellar shoes, and we made out like bandits at Old Navy with some great clearance pants for my brothers, and this groovy belted crop trench coat. After we finished shopping, we went to the Moosejaw brewing company where I scored this cute little shot glass, and these amazing antlers. I even got a pair for my Mom. She wore them for like a half second, but it was still awesome.

When I got home I decided to have a Tivo party with myself. I watched the series premieres of Knights of Prosperity, and Dirt. They were both alright. Then I proceeded to alternate between watching reruns of Psych and Mythbusters. I still am so in love with the actor who plays Sean on Psych. And Dulé Hill (who plays Gus) is pretty hot too. USA Network made this hilarious fake website for their agency, which I could totally picture Sean making. In my mind I feel that Gus doesn't know it exists, because if he did, he would totally remake it, and it would be all flashy and professional. Mmm, just looking at this photo makes me want to unbutton Sean's shirt. I plan on sleeping in tomorrow, and then working on the website with Laura. Laters.

Update: So like the second after I posted this I navigated on over to PerezHilton.com, and he had this video on his site, which led me to find the one below it as well.

Nice Ass

Well, a couple days later and I'm back. It's some sort of a success, my resolution that is. To answer Geoff's question, I feel that writing a blog is selling out because everyone has one. A blog these days is such a cliche, and I don't like being a cliche, but I've decided to put my feelings aside regarding blogs in general simply because, if something helps me write out how I'm feeling or express who I am at this moment, then screw the bandwagon. Because fuck, I'm on it now. And regarding Laura's second comment, I would like to see this photo-graphic evidence of me dancing. And I should say that I don't like dancing in public, but shit, if I had a web cam, there would be a dance party in my room every day.

So, I hope you're not wondering who the hot, half naked man is on the right side of my post, because it's Daniel Craig, the new James Bond. I finally got to see Casino Royale today with my friend Steve, and it had it's ups and downs, but overall it was pretty damn great. I have to say that before seeing the film I had the utmost confidence in Daniel Craig being able to act the part of James Bond, but I was concerned with him 'being' the part. I didn't really think that he fit the part look wise, I certainly wasn't all that attracted to him, and afterall, my opinion is the only one that matters right? However, after watching the film, my god, this man is heavenly. Now, it could be the accent. After all, a photo doesn't literally speak, but his rock hard abs, and fine ass may have a bit to do with it. Oh, and I can't forget his coy smile. I found myself spending an insane amount of time during the movie just staring at his lips. And really the only thing more sexy than his mouth was his car, a 1964 Aston Martin DB5, which was featured in Goldfinger, starring Sean Connery, which just happens to be my favorite James Bond.

After the movie I dropped some cupcakes and cookies off at Kim & Laura's which I had made the night before because I was getting together with some of my friends from high school. It was actually quite nice, we get together every six months or so, just to catch up. And although we have all changed a lot, I really appreciate that I'm able to keep in contact with each of them. here's a photo, from left to right it's: me, Kelsey, David, Collin, Kali and then Steve, who I went to the movie with.


Tomorrow I'm going to an outlet mall in Wisconsin Dells with my mother, I'm sure we'll have fun. And I'll leave you with a lovely graphic of what I'll be dreaming of tonight. Sweet dreams.

Resolutions

Now normally I'm not one for New year's resolutions, but I have decided I'd like to keep up on my blogs during 2007. I still feel like selling out by writing a blog, although I haven't sunk low enough to have created a MySpace account. Anyways, writing a blog is overrated, but in high school I kept a journal that I wrote by hand, and I really appreciate being able to reflect on how I have changed since then. Although blogs are published for the whole world to see, I know I'll be happy that I've kept on posting this time next year.

In other news I got a new pair of shoes today, the black winter boots should be coming by the end of the week. I love the leopard print, I have to figure out some shirts to wear them with, and although they were a little tight when I first got them, I've been wearing them all night around the house, and they've loosened up quite nicely. And they're flats, so I have a limited number of pants that I can wear them with, but they'll be comfortable.

I've been trying red lipstick recently. What do you think? It might be a little too much, and I don't know where I could go that I would feel comfortable with the color. Maybe I'm just a light pink lipstick girl. I fancy myself as somewhat demure, and pink certainly is my color. Oh well, sometimes it's nice for a change. I've also been experimenting with my eyes, I don't know if I've quite mastered the smokey eye yet, but I'm getting there. I've been watching a lot of What Not To Wear because there were a lot of episodes on my Tivo, so it always inspires me to tear my closet apart in order to mix and match new outfit ideas, and make a mess of all my make up to try something they showed on TV. But hey, WNTW is how I got my angle brush for my eye liner, and it has revolutionized my eye make up.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. Hopefully I'll be back later.
