ANOTHER MONTH DONE

Goodbye June!!

This month was suppose to be about heroes, i really wish i had alot to write about but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

All these celebrity deaths are really getting me down. Makes me think that we really have to live today as it was our last.

If only it was that easy.

I'd like to be in vacation, but I need the income. So instead of living today as if it was my last, I have to be working to make sure I have something to actually survive for the day & future.

Damn, the contradiction.

THINGS TO DO ON A DAY OFF:

I had wanted to go to the Griffith Observatory, however, of all days for the place to be CLOSED --> EVERY MONDAY. I guess I won't be able to do that.

I thought of lounging in the pool, but hey, guess what, IT WAS CLOSED for maintenance!! It would have been a great day to tan my legs ~

I decided to spend another day watching soaps, and reading, and writing. Which I'm glad I could do.

I wanted to go and take pictures too ~ but the HEAT!!!

I should probably do a spa day next week.

OVERLOAD

I cannot believe how much coverage MJ's death is receiving!!

I can't watch TV without seeing news after news after news about his death. And everything is repetitive!!

I was absolutely SADDENED when I found out that he died, but this is just too much.

Yes I would probably like to go to his star at the Walk Of Fame, but the media being there, just to cover people paying their respects...why, why, why!!

He was an international star. He was the king of pop. He was talented and amazing. That's what I want to remember him for, but the overload of news, I just can't take it anymore.

STRANGE DREAM

Last night I had a really strange dream.

I was in an airport and had one of those baggage carts with about 2 LV luggages. The person behind me kept telling me how she adores LV bags, and it must have cost me a fortune. I remember saying something like it was a gift.

Suddenly there are these group of paparazzi surrounding this guy wearing a cowboy hat, I can't really see his face until the photographers suddenly disappear.

The woman behind me yells, OH MY GOD, ITS BRETT MICHAELS!!

And I see him. He pauses and says hello to me. For some reason we end up on those moving thingy moving us from one side of the airport to the other, and Im STANDING on the baggage cart now.

Brett Michaels says "I missed you"

And I say ... "why havent you called"

He doesnt say anything, but we start KISSING, it's as if Im watching Rock of Love/Bus of Loveand he is making out with one of those skanky girls, but he's making out with me.

Anyways, we stop. And he leaves, and says "I'll see you around".

I'm back with that woman, and she says ... "you know Brett Michaels??"

And I say:

"We had a one night stand, Im surprised he remembered me"

WHY THE HELL AM I DREAMING ABOUT BRETT MICHEALS?!!?!?

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: THE PROPOSAL

The Proposal

Ryan Reynolds is hot.

Sandra Bullock looks great.

We liked the movie, there was just some bits and pieces that we thought was OFF. We didnt' really see them "fall" in love with each other.

Sure there was that kiss.
Sure there was them running naked into each other.
Sure there was the "It Takes Two" moment.

But when did RR fall in love with SB??

When he saw the note she left him about the manuscript?

Betty White was funny, but we all felt that the scene in the woods was really weird and out of place. Sure SB was funny, but really...what was the purpose???

But it was cute movie. The end credits was funny too.

THE GOSSELIN DIVORCE

Okay.

So I'm hoping J&K do not get a divorce. No one
mentioned the "D" word during last nights episode.
Only "separate" was used ... but ofcourse, K did
file for divorce.

I just don't understand why she says that the
show MUST go on. If she really cares about the
kids ... IS SHOULD ALREADY BE OVER!!

The books .... means nothing
The special appearances ... means nothing

I think their time apart, was a big part of all
this mess ~ yes, J "was at the wrong place, at
the wrong time" ~

The kids are going to suffer. I would like for them
to work things out. But I think things go deeper:

Hours have been cut at work, and I had a

Write A Lot.
Watch some Soaps.
Sleep In.
A little Bit Of Shopping.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

Photobucket

Father's Day 1999 was the last day I ever
spoke with my dad. He had passed away in
October of that year.

I sometimes look through cards and think,
"oh, I would have bought this for dad."
But now, 10 years later, I wonder how he
would have been.

Now I just celebrate this holiday by
wishing my brothers, brother-in-law,
and male friends a Happy Fathers Day.

But I miss my dad.
And I think this holiday would have meant
more if I spent it with him and family.

OFF COFFEE

I'm going to try to get off coffee for the
next couple of days!!

It's going to be just water, tea, and maybe
some cranberry juice ~ all healthy beverages!!

Lets just see how I get through during the
mornings ~

ack!

MAJOR DECISION

I think that I have a MAJOR decision that I
need to make. Maybe I should have done
something last year, but then again, I seem
to be doing OK right now, and maybe last
year wasnt the time, and the time is now.

Maybe I'm just overreacting right now. But
I'm thinking of all these different sceneros.
Maybe my paranoia is just stressing me out
and I'm thinking of decisions I don't even
need to make.

I'll probably know next month if I have to
do, what I have to do.

OUT OF FOCUS

Dammit!!

Why do I have to have such a long reading list!!!

I want to read, and I want to finish writing
"the novel", but then again, I'm reading
multiple books at the same time, AND writing
multiple novels at the same time too!! Too
much interesting subjects to write about.

Anyways, let's just say I'm hoping to win the
lottery, just so I can have enough free time to
read & write. Since reading and writing while
at work ... is kinda a lack of focus!!

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: UP 3D

UP

I should have brought a box of tissues!!

Sitting next to us were 3 little boys and 15 minutes
into the movie, we were crying!! Not major crying,
but sniffles etc. And I was trying to wipe my tears
under the 3D glasses.

One of the boys says to his mom .. "why are they crying"?

Anyways, GREAT movie!! Wonderful Characters!! Great Story!!

EXCITING STUFF

Last night I was watching a particular awards show
where a particular movie won most of the categories.

Anyways, a particular actress who won one of the
awards, who is shooting another movie, portraying
a particular famous rockstar was at work today.

I happened to be reading the final chapters of the
3rd book of the series that she won an award
for that the movie based on the first book (did that
make sense?).

The doors opened and she walks in with a group
of Paparazzi behind her ~ then later when she
was walking out with the rockstar, the same group
just hanged out in parking lot shooting more
footage.

And yes ... she is very pretty in person!!

SURVIVED ANOTHER DAY OFF

Today was once again another day off for me!

However, today was another day for a doctors
visit. ACK!! Anyways, the doctor I talked
to was very nice. He said that I shouldn't
be concerned about the test result but he
did say we have to wait for my ultrasound.

So another visit to Kaiser in two weeks!!

Anyways, since everyone else was at work and
making some money, I decided to go to the LA
Central Library. I've forgotten how BIG it
was!! I spent a long time browsing the DVD
section. Finally got some DVDs that I couldn't
get at the "other" library.

Anyways ... I'm glad that I didnt go shopping,
since I told myself not to shop for anything
"useless", which is probably everything.

It's nice to be able to relax, and watch a DVD
and read a book, but with all of these days off
my bank account will suffer, and if I want my
credit card balance to be ZERO by the end of the
year...then I really cant have another day off
like this!!

NOT READY FOR A PARADE!

Please Lakers LOSE!
Please LAKERS LOSE!
Please LAKERS LOSE!

If by some "chance" the Lakers win tonight,
the city better NOT pay for a Parade!!

Hmmm, cut summer school, fire some teachers,
but let's throw a parade for already over paid
athletes.

Just for this reason, I want MAGIC to whoop
their asses!

NO NEWS .... IS GOOD NEWS ....

I've decided not to watch or read the news.

Everything seems to be depressing, mostly
about war and crime and hate.

There is NOTHING POSITIVE!!

THIS WEEK ON TV

I really should be watching less TV and concentrate
on writing ~

I told myself that I'm going to stop watching
Jon & Kate + 8, but I still love seeing the kids.
It just breaks my heart that J&K could be done.
It was a nice 100th episode ... but for some reason,
it just wasn't a "special" 100th episode.

Right now, it's kinda nice everything is in
reruns, so I could write more, but then again
I end up just reading at home.

Anyways ... thank goodness SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE
is back!!!! Everyone is sooo good this year ~
I don't have any favorites yet ~ still sad about
the first round of eliminations.

I must admit I've found myself catching bits
and pieces of several Reality Shows, and I just
get sooo annoyed that these shows are filling up
spots that Scripted Shows could be filling.

I'VE POSTED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS !!!

CA-125 / PART 2

Got another call today from another doctor!!!

Apparently because of my test (and reasons for
taking the test) result they scheduled some kind
of "consultation" this coming Monday ... so thats
another day off for me!!!

ACK!! BUT TO SEE A DOCTOR AGAIN!!

Yes, these doctors are my Heroes for calling
me and scheduling me an appointment, I'm
just hoping that this checkup will be good news.

Pray for the best please !!!

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: LAND OF THE LOST

I was hoping to use my free pass to watch
UP 3D, but G1 of G&G could not get out of
work in time, soo ... it was a choice of

1. The Hangover -> everyone says "go see it"
2. Land of the Lost -> almost everyone says "skip it"

I wasn't "up" to see THE HANGOVER today, and it
started later than LAND OF THE LOST, so I kinda
convinced G&G to watch LOTL today, and they
don't have to feel "pressured" to watch THE PROPOSAL
when it comes out ~ but I still intended to use
the free pass for UP 3D ~

NOW TO THE MOVIE ~

WE ACTUALLY LIKED IT!! LOT'S OF CORNY AND "DUMB"
MOMENTS ... BUT WE WERE LAUGHING (MOST OF THE AUDIENCE)
AT THE "ADULT HUMOR" IN THE MOVIE. NOT DISAPPOINTED
AT ALL ~

Land Of The Lost

CA-125 TEST

So much for a "healthy day off" yesterday!!

My doctor just called me to tell me that the
CA-125 blood test I took was "a little high"
so she is going to refer me to the OB/GYN
department.

Last year, the test I took was "low", so it
was in the normal range. 30.5 -> 35 would
have been "OK" ~ but my test yesterday was
"higher" than that (dont want to go into details!!)

I've been reading up online about high results
and false positives & false negatives. Nothing
really is helping me out information wise.

Now I wish today was another day off!!

HEALTHY DAY OFF

I took a day off from work today to go
to Kaiser to get my annual physical.
It went by really quick, it seems the
earlier you go, the faster the service.

Anyways, I got back to my apartment around
noon and thought about doing errands, etc.
Didn't know what would be on TV, since I'm
never home at this time.

I realized that this time of the day, was time
for Daytime Drama, like I don't already get
enough of that when I'm at work.

So I'm flipping back and forth from network
to network and find out that some stars from
one show, now works in another show. And some
characters are together, and others are with
other people.

So, I kinda was curious about Y&R, B&B, and
DOOL, and shocked about the twist and turns
and actors playing all new roles ~

Anyways, I'm soo confused about whose kid is
whose in these shows. Who cares if I haven't
watched in years ... SAMMI is still having drama
and BROOKE still has children from the same
family pool .... or so I thought ...

I just miss the really outrageous writing
and characters in daytime drama. I've always
wanted to write for a soap opera!!

"Honey, this baby isn't yours, It's your fathers"!
"Are you telling me we aren't related? That means
we can get married!"
"What do you mean I was switched at birth?"


Sure...very healthy for me ... catching up on
"my soaps" on my day off ~

HEALTH CHECK

After putting off getting my annual physical for
a two months (i should have had one in April), I'm
finally going in for a checkup tomorrow.

I'm not sure if its because I've been watching alot
of "hospital" themed TV Shows, I don't know if I'm
just being paranoid or cautious.

I feel like i want to have "everything done" just
because. I dont' want to overwhelm my doctor with
soo many things ... like ... "just because" ...

SUPER.MEGA.FANTASY.POWER

ACK!!

Yes UNIVERSE, I know it's MY FAULT!!

I only buy Super and Mega Millions lottery tickets, so I didnt think of ever buying
Fantasy 5 tickets ... little did I know, that my favorite numbers would have won
me $400 ... but sadly ... I did not buy the ticket.

And now some 23-year old in South Dakota is $88.5 million richer after buying $15 in Power Ball tickets!!

It can happen to him.
It can happen to me.

YAY AND BOO

DISNEYLAND VS. DISNEY WORLD

I'm reading todays USA TODAY and the match-up
between the Lakers & Magic is somewhat kinda
cool ~

Los Angeles VS Orlando ~ hmm

I am going to say, I've been to Disneyland
SOO MANY TIMES, that I feel bored out of
my mind.

But DISNEY WORLD ~ never been there ~ soo
I'm sure the first time I visit, it would be
an AWESOME experience!!!

And thats how i feel about the "parks" ~

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Night At The Museum: Part 2

Night At The Museum.2

ACK!

I "had" to watch a movie today (and not UP)
because i knew I would have 90 points with
Movie Watchers, so I could get a free ticket
which I was planning on using for UP 3D ~
sometime next week, or the next.

I cannot believe I actually rented NATM: Part 1
yesterday, so I could watch NATM: Part 2 today,
well the first movie was somewhat enjoyable, I
thought the second movie would be somewhat
enjoyable too.

IT WASN'T ~ I THOUGHT THAT THE SCRIPT WAS BAADD!!

AMY ADAMS & HANK AZARIA WERE THE ONLY TWO "SOMEWHAT ENJOYABLE" CHARACTERS IN THIS MOVIE.

Tuesday, June 02, 2009

THANKS TO:

Last night I tried finishing up some pages
of the novel, I'm happy to say I made more
progress than I thought I would.

I've been paying attention to the SPECIAL THANKS:
pages of the novels I've been reading, and some
are kinda funny, some are kinda sweet.

So ... my special thanks ... are to my heroes ~

Thanks mom & dad!
