I must say...this has been a fun Halloween. First the Costume Contest at work (Friday). I'm somewhat disappointed I couldnt dress up as an Angel...my wings broke off and the halo was crooked. So I settled for the witches hat, black stockings, black dress, and boots. Nice comments from strangers...mostly about me being a good Witch. I told them about the "Angel" costume...and they comment that "You're already an angel"...yeah, yeah. So I go for the Witch look. I check out my competition for the DVD player. Hmm, Rob as "Bruce Lee"...I think he has me beat. But then Gloria comes all Hippie/Flower child looking with the long black wig and bandana...and I'm so happy she dresses up...and wins the contest. But today...after Paul shows up with his two faced/two sided demon person...I think...he should've come on Friday. However, that would rob Gloria out of the DVD. I love this holiday. People dressed up...and all the candy! I didnt mind the two adorable 6 year old kids who said "nice costume Miss Rocelyn, if only that BIG pimple on your cheek was on your nose..."
Possible costume next year:
1) Angel
2) Witch
3) Wonder Woman
4) Private Nurse
5) Some kind of "Period" costume

Procrastinator
I'm such a procrastinator.
I told myself that I'd post something on a daily basis...and how many days has it been??
Blame it on this old/dying laptop I'm using. I'd log on...it'll freeze..I'll restart the computer...and I get kicked out of AOL. The "function" buttons doesnt work...the dash/underscore/and number "6" key doesnt work (unless i use the "numbers lock" key) either.
Blame it on being tired from having to get up at 5:30am every morning just to catch the 9tySIX bus at six:30am. Then coming home around 4:30pm just to have a 30minute "power nap" in order to be refreshed for another episode of Gilmore Girls on ABC Family at 5:00pm.
I didnt have time to write my reviews of "Lost", "Desparate Housewives", and "The Apprentice". Has any new creatures appeared on that mysterious island? Anymore "castaway" revelations? I'm thinking of who would I want from "Melrose Place" to be a special guest in "DH" (psycho woman and cute gay guy is already there). Who got fired?? I've already missed two episodes!!
I havent had the time to post: WHOO HOO...RED SOX...YEAH
CRAPPY THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY:
Oct. 22, 2004 > Came home after work meeting, only to find out that I didnt have the keys to my apartment. They were in my coat pocket...hanging in the employee breakroom. This is what happens when you get a ride home from a coworker...not noticing how warm you feel versus freezing waiting for the bus. So I decided to walk back to the bus stop and go back to work ...only thing is...my bus pass was in the same pocket that my keys were in!! Thank goodness my neighbors let me use their phone to call someone to drop off my coat. I should have learned from this and should have made a duplicate copy of my keys...but I didnt...this decision would haunt me in a couple of days.
CRAPPY THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY:
Oct. 2six, 2004> It's storm night...but its only 3:30pm...and there's light drizzles...I have to go back to the library and return "Somewhere In Time". I had to watch this movie again, Its one of my favorite Christopher Reeve movies. Anyways, I get to the library, return the tape, and go to the reservations counter so I could use the computers and kill some time before the bus passes at 4:30. But wait!! I head to the Children/Juvenile books and search for the new A.S.O.U.E. "The Grim Grotto" and I find it!! Its time to go to the bus stop...and we head toward the mall. The sky is gray but I think I'll make it. I go to Bath & Body...only to be disappointed that they are out of the "sweet pea" air freshner. So the sales lady recommends the "warm vanilla" scent...and I buy it. I walk back to the bus stop...and the rain arrives. Wait...wait...and wait...for the bus to arrive. Maybe it was a bad time to go to the mall...too late now...and the bus arrives. So we're headed to my stop and I decided to get the 3 Muskateers candy I stole from our candy container at work...as I reached into my bag looking for my chocolate fix...there's something missing...no jingle jangle noise. Where the f.c.u.k. was my keys!! So I get off my stop...trying to walk home while looking into my bag...nothing...I was wearing my coat...bus pass on the left pocket...right pocket empty. Fudge...fudge...fudge...I couldnt even enjoy my 3 Muskateer. I had two choices. Walk all the way to my apartment and contact my apartment manager for another copy...or find those keys...backtrack...where could they be?? And its raining at this moment...so I made a decision..go back to the library...and Pray...Pray real hard that its there. What sucks is this...when was the last time did I go to church?? God's sense of humor was working overtime today. Its sixPM, I'm waiting for for the bus to take me to the library...it comes...my Bath & Body shopping bag is falling apart...and I'm praying that the keys were there. Not in some seat in one of those other busses that I took. So I get there ... stressed ... wet ... wondering if I needed to call my manager to get a room at the hotel ...I describe my Boston keychain to the desk person ... she looks in her lost and found box ... PULLS OUT THE KEYS!! I'm relieved .. I can go home ...I walk out of the library and its pouring!! Who cares I think to myself...I have an apartment I can go into. So while I'm waiting for the last time at the bus stop...I notice how flooded the streets are ... lets just say I had a small amount of water spash on me when a car passed by. People are soaked in the bus...and everyone else that are picked up are covered up in trashbags for raincoats. I finally reach my bus stop ... only to find out that my street is HELLA floodes. Water reached the side walk level. I had to watch out for passing cars...I was wet...my Bath & Body bag was falling apart...just a few more more blocks...and I was home. I opened the door, got into dry clothes, and promised myself to duplicate those damn keys!!
Now its Oct. 29, still no duplicate key...so once again...I'm a procrastinator.

Strange Dream: Episode 101
I've been getting these strange dreams lately.
Mostly about friends & family.
Some days we're younger ... some days its the present.
But just the events are really weird.
Last night I dreamt about being in the ocean with some
friends from Jr High ... its been awhile since I've seen
them .. we all look the same ... like pictures from the past
come alive.
Anyways so we are on a boat in the ocean ... and I notice
that a fishing boat is near us ... in that boat is "JR" ..
looking like he did five years ago ... he waves .. and the
girls asks me who I was waving to ... and I say something
like "I dont know...Im just trying to be nice" ... thats all
I could remember .. just some bits and pieces.

The Fifth Year
Today is the fifth year of my dads death
I miss him
I still think of the swing he built for the family
I miss his Kare Kare
I miss the Turbo Chicken he cooks
I miss how the cats would sense that he's home and they would run to his truck
I miss him singing ... I miss mom getting embarresed because of that

Who is Chail?
I've been receiving these "Breath of the Spirit" letters for someone who
must have lived in this apartment before.
I've written "return to sender" but apparently this person is still in the
mailing list.

The Reflex
Duran Duran's song "The Reflex" is playing right now.
I remember having this major crush on John Taylor.
I was one of those people who bought the Duran Duran Boardgame (or is it Game Board).
Yup...there was a Duran Duran board game (vice-versa).
I dont remember what the concept was.
Something about picking up game pieces of your favorite member.
My question is...what exactly is "The Reflex"??

In The Beginning...
In the Beginning, I wrote:
It's 9:30pm on a Saturday night.
October 16th, 2004.
I could be home right now watching "Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers."
Maybe not. I'll probably be home eating popcorn waiting for "Desparate Housewives"
I'm really impresed with "ABC" right now.
Chuck Lorre is a genius for creating "Dharma & Greg" and "Two and a Half Men"
I'm listening to a "Bangles" song, and for some reason I'm thinking of that episode of "Gilmore Girls."
I'm thrilled that Lorelai and Luke are finally together.
If I cant watch "Life As We Know It" on Thursday, I can always catch it on ABC Family another day, right?!?
I almost chocked on my popcorn during the last episode of "Lost" - Locke and the wheelchair --- goosebumps!
Is it better to watch "The Apprentice" on Thusday --- or the Saturday episode with a longer boardroom scene?
Do I watch too much TV?
