Something that I find so funny is when characters on a T.V. show are trying to figure out a movie and one of the characters was in that movie.
Probably because then I can show off my mad movie game skills. The movie game (yes a very original title I know) is like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. With a group of people, one person starts by naming a movie; then the next person names a actor in that movie; then the next person names another movie that that person is in and so on. You can't do repeats. If someone doesn't know another actor or movie, they can challenge and that last person to answer must know another actor or movie. If they don't, then they are out; if they do then the person who challenged is out.
I could always play with my movie theater friends because we were all movie dorks. But when I play with my friends now (most of whom are guys) they always name 80s wrestling stars or action movies. Those are my only weakness!

Harry Potter
My friends and I had pre-ordered our books at Barnes and Noble. After waiting until after midnight there and realizing we would have to wait another hour or so because there was over 700 people there, we decided to leave. We drove to Wal-Mart and waited in line behind three people and had our book in about 5 minutes.
There were some teenagers at Barnes and Noble that had naughty shirt on. They said things like, "I gave Harry Potter Parsletongue", "If you be the beater, I'll be the keeper", and "My wand is 13 1/2 inches". They were funny.
I finished the book this morning at 2 am (or last night at 2 am?). I cried and cried and cried. And then cried some more this morning while telling Brad about what happens (he doesn't read the books). I love a lot about the closure, but I feel I needed more information about what happens to certain characters. There are some unexpected deaths and one that has really hit me hard.
SEMI SPOILER
I always believed in Snape. :*(

Hon Machi Sushi
mmmmmm, shushi!
Brad and I wanted to eat sushi last night, but we are also slightly broke trying to save for the move. Solution: Hon Machi. I first went to this place a few times with my friends Billy and Christy and loved it. Sure it does not have the fancy psuedo-Asian decorations like Ra or Kona Grill, but it also doesn't have their prices. Also those places are too loud and snooty. Hon Machi is very laid back, but it is also on a lake so you can see the water from wherever you sit. Those times we went with another couple, it was about $60 total.
But wait it gets better; Mon - Thurs from 5-7 pm, they have Happy Hour prices for drinks and certain rolls. Thankfully they are all my favorite rolls. So last night Brad and I ate way too much, 6 different rolls, which is about 40 - 50 pieces. Our total, not including tip was $25.01.
You should go there
P.S. If you like fabric, there is also a quilting store right next door to browse in afterwards.

Harry Potter
I told my boss that I may not be able to concentrate and may have to go home and take a sleeping pill and sleep until midnight. Otherwise, I may shout Harry Potter related things through out the day.
So. Excited.

Not so secret shame
I am shamelessly stealing this idea from Gurg.
In 9th grade I had a secret. I tried to hide it from everyone except my close friends. I was trying to get in with the "cool" druggie kids (never happened). But I had to admit it when my friends found my "SPICE" ring. I loved the Spice Girls. This trend continued through out my young adult life. Around other people I would talk about the cool bands I like that were alternative and indie, but by myself I would listen to N'Sync and Britney Spears. Not to say I don't like indie music, I love it, I just love unoriginal pop music also. I just love music I can sing along with.
In the summer between junior and senior year, my friend Kerri and I made a dance to Digital Get Down by N'Sync. A choreographed dance. I was 17 years old!
Here are a couple songs that I love to sing along with and I am no longer ashamed to admit it.
Here are two awesome newer songs that I hope will make up for the above ones.

Tiny annoyance
I use the text messaging feature where the phone knows what I'm trying to type. For years I didn't use this because I didn't understand it, and was therefore scared of it. Now I love it but I get really annoyed when I try to type "at" or "we". Let me tell you phone, there is no way I am trying to instead type "bu" or "ye". Those aren't even words! Gah!
Catch and Release
This post is liable to spin out of control with tangents. You have been warned.
We rented the movie, Catch and Release the other night. I did like it, and cried of course (I always do). I don't think I have to tell you that my favorite part was Kevin Smith. I have always had such a huge crush on him, and I always will. He is so smart and funny and cute. But there were two things I didn't like about this movie.
First, the love interest, Timothy Olyphant; I used to be very attracted to him, especially when he was in that one Sex in the City episode. But now he is just creepy looking. His expression never changes, it is always that smirk with teeth that are too white. Is he happy? Annoyed? Horny? I can never tell. Stop smirking! Also, if he was a rich Hollywood director guy, I can tell you right now he would not have that disgusting hair cut. Those kind of things annoy me.
Here comes a spoiler; but this is a romantic comedy so it's not that hard to guess what happens.
Second, I was upset that the dead fiancé cheated on Jennifer Garner's character. The other woman, Juliette Lewis said, "It makes sense that she's perfect because when he was with me he always seemed like a kid on vacation; like he could really be himself." That makes me so so angry. Why would he marry someone that he couldn't be himself around?
I seriously think a lot of guys are like this. They feel that they "should" get married, and so they find a "suitable" wife that they are attracted to and convince themselves that they are in love. They get married, check out emotionally, and have affairs and such.
This is why I definitely believe in sex and co-habitation before marriage. I don't think you can really connect with someone and know if you are in tune with them and their lifestyle unless you live together. Especially if you have one of those guys who like to think that girls don't poop, or fart, and always wear make-up. I really hope you don't have one of those, but they do exist. Or what if his mommy alway did his laundry and cooked for him and he is going to expect you to do the same? You need to know this before getting married.
I read this article about the 12 things you should ask your significant other before marriage. They are things like how we want to raise children, how our faiths will interact, do I like your family, and household expectations (chores and such). Personally, in my relationship, I already know the answers to all of these questions, we have talked about them through out the last two and a half years. I feel that if these things have not already come up and you have to sit down and ask for these answers, then you are not ready to get married.

House
This is the house I want to rent! It is perfect for what we want. What is going to be happening is that Amber and Frank (my best friend and her boyfriend), and me and Brad are all moving in together. Our move date is September first, so I shouldn't be looking for houses yet because they will probably be gone by then, but Amber sent me a link to this one and we love it.
Some people sort of cringe when I tell them I moving in with another couple, even Brad was a little wary of the idea. But I think it will be great. First of all, Amber and I have lived together before and we even shared a room at the time, and it was fine. Second, we will be in a 4 bedroom house with a pool (hopefully), all that room is more than enough for me to have some personal privacy. I just really want to live in a house, with a backyard and no downstairs neighbors. This is the only way we can afford to live in a house and our rent is actually going to go down since it is split between four people.
Also if the backyard is big enough, there may be a wedding there (or two). ;)

It's Baaaack
It seems as though our air conditioner is going out again. We woke up to a 80 degree house. I went to work and Brad stayed home to see if it got better or worse; it got worse. It is now over 85 degrees in there. He went down to the office and they will come check it out; but they made some snide comment about how they spent $1000 on fixing it and it's already not working!? Well maybe you should just buy a new one. I don't know how long air conditionings last, but ours has to be at least 10 years old. It runs all the time, is very loud (can't hear the TV loud), and the house isn't weather proof very well causing it to run even harder. In the summer, our energy bill is about $200 for a 1000 sqft apartment.
It makes me feel bad that I am wasting a lot of energy with all of my old ass appliances.
We'll see how this day progresses.

Hot as Hell
Our air conditioner is shot. Thankfully we live in an apartment and don't have to pay for a new one; but it could take a few days. By the time I got home from work yesterday it had to of been 120 degrees inside my apartment. The maintenance guy said he would have a portable a/c unit in our house in an hour. So we took our kitties and went to a friends' house for a while. When we got back he had put the a/c unit in our room. I wasn't thinking he would do this, and now I am embarrassed because there were dirty clothes all over the corner of the room, underwear showing and all. The portable a/c was blowing cold air but it was still 91 degrees in there and the rest of the house was over 100 degrees. So we grabbed the kitties, their food and litter box, water and snacks, some dvds. We put a towel under the door to keep the air in and didn't leave the room for the rest of the night. We wet wash clothes and so it wasn't to uncomfortable. My kitties slept in the bathtub; at one time I wet a sock and laid it on my kitty, she didn't move, she loves water, crazy girl!
By the time I went to bed it was 89 degrees and when I woke up it was 79, not bad.

Simulated Life
I played Sims 2 yesterday for like six hours. So now I keep thinking that in real life I should be able to get pregnant after woo hooing once, then get married in about four minutes and have a roof raising party with just two guests before I start showing, then have the baby appear in my arms three days later, then quit my job and hire a nanny sometimes so I can have time to myself. All the while my husband keeps getting promoted everyday because he is awesome.
In real life though, I played the Sims while I stayed home from work, felt sick all day, did nothing productive, let Brad clean around me, cooked dinner, and am no closer to having money for a baby or getting married.

New Shows
I like TV and I'm not ashamed. I hate commercials though, and don't watch a lot of TV that isn't recorded. Since most shows are on hiatus, there is little to watch. So I have added some new shows to my rotation that I am excited about.
My Unique Family on TLC. I haven't watched it yet, but it is set to record. The first one I'm watching is about a woman who has started a Wiccan Church in a town that thinks witches are evil.
Miami Ink on TLC. I just started watching this and I love it. I only have one tattoo now but I want more and this show helps give me ideas.
Cash Cab on Discovery Channel. A great trivia show that takes place in a cab when people get in.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. This one is so so so good and it was gone for months and I was scared that it would never come back. Thankfully they are showing new ones again, but it seems just to finish up the season. Supposedly it is too expensive to make. So they will cancel it and replace it with two more reality shows, great :*( Stupid!
I have started watching the baby shows again: A Baby Story, Bringing Home Baby, House of Babies. I get obsessed for a while and then stop.
I am returning to HGTV again too. There is a new show about green decorating that looks good, Red, Hot and Green. Not such a good title, but I am recording it.

Dance by the Light of the Moon
I work in the same building as this guy Jordan. We used to sit near each other but now I only see him every few weeks. He sends emails to the whole building and I see his last name at least once a week, but every time I see him I go blank. I ask myself, "What is his last name?!" but all that keeps coming to me is, Catalano, and for a second I convince myself that that is totally correct.

Birth Control
I have taken hormonal birth control pills off and on since I was 15. I should have always been on it because if I'm not then I have a period about once every six month. I just started Yasmin again after not being on it for like a year (no periods during that time). I remember how much I hate it. I get really sensitive to smells and threw up in a public restroom the other day, head aches, nauseous, loss of appetite, tender breasts, and aversion to sex. Sucks for me and for Brad. But hey, at least I have periods and cramping to look forward to now! That is what was missing in my life.

Knocked Up Trailer
I have been waiting to see this for months. I adored 40 Year Old Virgin and I am hoping I will love this. I am trying not to get my hopes up though; but I have loved a lot of things Judd Apatow has written like Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and I just found out he wrote Heavyweights. Heavyweights was a favorite of mine as a kid. So babies and Judd Apatow, I don't think this movie can go wrong.
I will be seeing this Friday on a double date with my favorite married couple

Waitress Trailer - Keri Russell
You should go see this movie. It was wonderful. It is bittersweet though because the writer/director/co-star Adrienne Shelley was murdered and never got to see her final project :(

All alone
Brad is going to be in New Mexico visiting his mom for the next five days. He left last night. It sucks sleeping alone. I have never lived alone. I don't like it. I get scared. At least I have my kitties for company.
I am looking forward to this alone time though, it is just the night time that is scary. I plan on cleaning the house, reading a lot, enjoying silence, listening to music, and laying out naked on the back porch. Amber is coming over Saturday and Sunday night to hang with me. I plan on making Sangria and Lemon Drops and getting drunk. And egg rolls, there must be egg rolls.
