Spiniffy

I'm watching season 4 of The Office. It is hilarious. Dwight is my favorite, Toby my second, and Angela my third. But I like them all, except Karen. She's stupid.

I'm not sure if that comment on my last update was spam or not, but I figure, what the heck. I will talk about Michael Jackson a little bit.

I'm really sadder that Farrah Fawcett died. I loved Charlies Angels and she had awesome hair. And it was sad that she fought so hard and then died. Depressing.

As far as Michael J. goes, I think his life was kind of a waste. I don't especially care that he died. I think he molested children and so I just don't care that he died. Some people get upset with me for saying that, but oh well. I think it is much sadder that he was nuts and also a criminal. And that's what I have to say on that subject.

I am going to go drink with my hubbie tomorrow. We went drinking last weekend. It was fun! I had a chocoliniti, a white Russian, and a chocolate cake shot, and some sangrias. My sister is a bartender. Anyway, those were all very good. I had the sangrias the night before the other stuff and they were tasty. Also anyway, the chocolate cake shot was amazing. It tasted just like chocolate cake!!! I want another one.

I had like the worst day. I went into work and one of my ovens was gone. Just randomly taken out of my stand. And all of my stuff had been moved around. And my freezer had been left open and there was water all over the floor and all my product was thawed. And then they were working on the water main and broke it, so we were out of water for part of the day. It was stressful. Hopefully it is all being fixed. And they brought the oven back and the people who took it got their asses chewed. So that's all good. I'm tired.

We have a liquor store in town now. After going years and years as a dry city, we got to vote last fall on whether or not we wanted to be allowed to buy alcohol locally, and the motion passed. So now we actually have 3 liquor stores. Jon and I visited one tonight and came home with 2 kinds of wine and one bottle of scotch, because Jon likes scotch because he had some at Ruby Tuesday and it was good. It really was, I tried some too. Tonight we opened the bottle of petite sirah, which is red. I didn' t like it and Jon drank most of my glass as well as his and now he is funny. It turned my tongue purple. I'm not sure that is normal for wine. I liked the labels on the wine, there w as a bottle labeled Bitch and the back of the label said "Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch" and I thought that was hilarious. I also got a bottle of white with a penguin on it. So yay!

I have been working at the park and it is keeping me busy. Then when I get home I am too tired to update. I'm watching Ella Enchanted now. It is kind of stupid. The book was better. Man, my brain is too scattered to even come up with a coherent journal entry. Maybe I'll do better tomorrow.

So, here are the top reasons I need to exchange my fleshy muscles for lead ones.

-I would no longer be safe for children to play with.
-I could hit criminals and they would probably notice it.
-I could call myself Lead Girl and wear a cape.
-I would not have such severe pain from overdoing the exercising/walking thing.
-I could stick magnets to myself.
-I could make lots of money on the arm wrestling circuit.
-I would be friggin' awesome, because everyone knows the awesome people have lead muscles.

Ouchie, my poor poor calf muscles.

I now have a summer joblet. We're doing the concessions at the park. It is easy work, decent money, and no boss, so yay! I'm just glad to have something to do.

Jon and I will be heading to the RenFest tomorrow or Monday, or both. We were going to work the park, but a guy who has to approve something didn't approve it, so we start next weekend instead. Such is life. At least I can go find more cinnamon almonds and bow to the queen. Fun times!

Jon and I now have texting on our phones. Feel free to text us. :)

I have been having comic-gasms left and right. It turns out I also really enjoy Shotpacked! by David Willis. Casey also recommended it back in October and I forgot to check it, but recently looked at that thread again and started reading through archives. I have so many comics to add to my link list. And I'll probably take Friendly Hostility off after July, since the comic is ending. She's going to go on with a new comic, but from the sneak peaks she's given, I don't think it looks entertaining. I will give it a chance, but I am not holding my breath.

Now, I need a massage. My neck muscles are really tight.

My Saturday night consists of bagel bites, peanut butter fudge cookies, Boone's Farm, and Indiana Jones 4. I rock.

Man, the most annoying thing in the world is waking up to mowing/weed eating outside your window. Not fun.

I've been absent as of late. I've been busy with reading and writing and taking care of business. I am still fairly active on Facebook, though. I am addicted to it.

Anyway, I finished reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It was definitely worth reading, but in my opinion it was not worthy of a Newberry award. It's just not that good. It's too cliched and has huge holes in the story and hurried explanations about very important driving plot lines, as well as chapters that, while interesting and entertaining, have nothing to do with the overall conflict. Which would be fine if the book was longer and had more on the overall driving plot. The characters were fairly flat and I personally just didn't care that much about what happened to them. And I got the impression the author didn't either, which made me like them less. That doesn't equate with the quality literature I've come to expect from a Newberry award winner (such as A Wrinkle in Time). I think if a new author attempted to get a work like that published it would be rejected. However because it's Gaiman, he gets a Newberry. Makes me have less respect for the Newberry. Don't get me wrong, I still like Gaiman. And I think this book is worth reading. I'm only having a beef with the award it received.

Also, and this is very exciting, I have discovered a new webcomic! The Non-Adventures of Wonderella. I lurve it! It is basically a spoof of all comic book heroes (think DC Comics and Marvel) but appears to mostly spoof WonderWoman, whom I adored as a child. It's hilarious on so many different levels, from making fun of the politically correct lifestyle and politics, to making fun of comic book superheroes, to making fun of marketing and celebrity sponsorship (and Nazis, they really make fun of Nazis.) I really recommend reading it, if you are into webcomics. It is getting difficult for me to find comics that I can really appreciate with the story and art, but this one (even though the art is weak, but it adds to the story, imo) is a wonderful find.

Now, I need to go get a shower and work on my review of Scary Go Round, which has recently moved into my top comic spot, and is my current favorite. Thank you again, Miss Casey, for recommending it.

I'm watching the last episode of Season 5. Then I will be out of Gilmore Girls until I got to McKay's again and get Seasons 6 and 7. I don't like Logan. Bleh.
