Mom and New Moon
Took mom to see NM (FINALLY!!!). She like it more than Twilight, which really, is a given. As much as I love the Twilight, the movie is cheesy, and in some scenes painful to watch. The main redeeming quality is the delicious Edward, all sparkly, intense, and brooding. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of him.
Anyways…back to mom and NM. So, mom is fun to take to the movies. She moans and groans loudly with each preview claiming “THIS IS BULLSHIT!!” When the movie starts she usually shouts a “finally”. This time was no different. The movie starts rolling, she complains that Edwards is too pasty and they need to change his make-up. Hello, mom, he’s a vampire, he’s supposed to be pale and dead like. Then there’s some girls sitting up front that start snickering at little parts, mom says she doesn’t get why they are giggling, I try to explain they are 12/13 they giggle at things, mom says they should shut up. When the wolves make their appearance, mom actually starts laughing out loud, saying they look like hairy pigs. I lean over to her and tell A) she’s not very quiet and B) she’s an ass. She quieted down. After the movie she told dad that she was embarrassing me. I said she wasn’t but she talks loudly and criticizes everything. It’s just a little annoying. She does not make for a fun movie partner.
Speaking of NM…
I saw it then the next day with CC. It was a Monday morning and we went to the first show, and we were the only 2 people there. It was nice. When the movie started, I sent a picture to Meanie:
Look at the sparkle!!!!!
and said that I wished she was there. And seeing that work was literally across the street she could have been there in less than 5 minutes, but she opted to work. What a loser.
Speaking of work…
Holy shit are things picking up. I’m actually busy. I’m not used to it, and I don’t know how much I like it. A couple of weeks ago the boss lady and 2 others came out to desert for three days to train me on a new process they want me to do. WOO HOO (and this is what’s keeping me busy, this new bit). We went to this stellar restaurant where I consumed an amazing Riesling that transported me back to Berlin 1999. (Which is the first time I had Riesling, sitting in this old restaurant with Alice (a lady in her 50’s that is extremely awesome, and was fun like us 19-21 year olds, but had some nice mothering components) talking about what was on our agenda for the next day, how much fun was being had, wanting to stay in Berlin for possibly forever…God I want to go back) (I’m actually on the hunt for that wine, I need it like one needs air or Edward.) The training was part work part play. And this time, I didn’t cry!!!! Thank God for small miracles.
DIXIE!!
I took mom to Dixie's Tupperware Party. And the GJ and partner came too!! And yes, this is the second time I've gone.....I knew that GJ was going to eat the show up, fo’ sho! And he did. Mom had a good time too, she laughed a lot. I even placed a little Tupperware order. Seriously people, if Dixie comes to your neck of the woods, see her. You will not be disappointed. Even though the general premise of the show is the same, it’s all interactive with the audience, and that makes each show special.
A memorable Christmas
Anything where GJ is present, I know there’s going to be talk afterwards. This Christmas did not disappoint. HOLY COW!! First GJP’s (GJ’s partner) chair broke. And I, being one to laugh at peoples pain, DIDN’T EVEN LAUGH!! Words cannot tell you how monumentous that is. Also GJ had an earth shattering conversation with Oma…
GJ: Well Oma, as we age, it’s not about sexual positions anymore, it’s about jewelry.
Oma: Well, I never was a sex kitten.
I almost shitted (or is it shat?) my pants right then and there.
I have NO clue how this conversation started, I was getting more cookies. I just walked into the kitchen with GJ’s arm around Oma, and he’s talking to her about sex positions. I didn’t even know that “sex kitten” was in Oma’s vocabulary.
BC42
Last time I fronted, I mentioned how I was reading Pride and Prejudice, well Tuschka said she want to read it with me, so I stopped reading it. We picked December 4th as the new start date. Okay, now I've been reading it for almost a month and I'm still not done!!! WTF!!!! I'm on chapter 38 (don't know what page I'm on because I'm reading it on the Kindle, and the book I have is a compilation of all of Jane Austen books, so I don't have a true indication of how much I've read so far and what's left), all I know is that I looked at the library and found that it's 60 chapters and just shy of 300 pages. It should not take me this long to read a book less than 300 pages. It should not take me this long to read a book less than 300 pages. I don’t know what the problem is, yes the language is a little different, and Jane certainly is wordy. It seems like everything I pick it up to read, I start to fall asleep. I’m not bored with the book, but I just can’t stay awake.
Tushcka’s only like on chapter 12. She totally sucks and is a HUGE slacker.
We decided, next BC42 will be a fun book. Right now, smart thinking books are overrated.
Mom's on Facebook!!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
Music
I haven’t gotten anything new in awhile, but I feel like I should share some of my new music love with you. Expand your horizons (HITLER…I’M TALKING TO YOU!!!!). CD’s that I’ve had for a while and totally loving: Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest; Elbow, Seldom Seen Kid; Gomez, A New Tide and How We Operate; The New Moon Soundtrack (DUH!!!).
Some singles:
One Eskimo, Kandi. Seriously dudes, I’m loving it. Melody Gardot, Our Love is Easy. HOLY COW!!! I love her voice, it’s like velvet. Simply amazing. Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Buster Voodoo. WOW. Swell Season, Low Rising. Even though the song conveys trouble in paradise, the conviction in the voice, very HA CHA CHA.
Peeping Tom!
My blinds broke a couple of years ago, and were stuck at a particular angle that I thought meant I could look out, but not many could look in. Since I’m the Queen Procrastinator, I never felt the urge to get new ones. Until one morning two weeks ago, when I was walking fatty, and I looked up at my place. I had the light on in the entry, and given the angle of the blinds, I could see the entirety of my condo, to the front door. SHIT!! I have looked at my place before, but never when I had lights on. So the bug got up my butt to get new blinds…ASAP… And I did. This past weekend was a mini-renovating weekend. I got the blinds, I painted the repair work from the AC installation, did some cleaning up.
Anyways…now no one can look in unless I want them to…or if I forget to close the blinds.
***********************************************************
I believe that to be the highlights of the past couple of weeks.
May you all have a safe New Year!! I am going to stay home and pray to God that I finish P&P!!!
Rock out, like a sex kitten!
