Random Musings - (Pet) Photo Edition!

OK, sooo, it's been, what? A little over 2 months? Whoops! Blame the Florida heat, it has killed all of my creativity and sense of humor! (Not to mention my willingness to move away from in front of the fans.) So, lacking any creativity what-so-ever, here's some pics and brief descriptions of my moms dogs and my cat, Chloe (who is the cutest wittle kitty cat in the whole wide world). What?

So, anyway, new development! We got (another) dog! Cause you know, 7 is just never enough!! (And besides, I got to hear my dad's reaction. It was even better than when we got Ginger!!! I could feel the disapproval oozing through the phone straight through the silence!!!! Heehee!!) But anywhoo, it's a male Maltipoo (no, I didn't know what one was either till we got him. Apparently it's a small breed though, he'll only get to be about 5-6 lbs.) that we named Snickerdoodle. I am somewhat responsible for that name, because my sister wanted to name him Snickers. This dog is cream and light brown. Not exactly the coloring of a Snickers, but maybe I'm too literal o_O. So I suggested adding the "Doodle" part, cause that way at least the coloring would match since they were so damn insistent. I, personally, wanted to name him Kodiak, cause he has cute little bear paws and if you watch him walk from behind he looks like a bear, but nooooo. I just call him Snick and try to forget the rest (heh). Here's a picture of him(Kinda blurry, but I was still learning to use the camera at the time. I'm gonna take some more in the next few days.);
For some odd reason, he absolutely loves sleeping on the vent in my room. I'm not sure why, but hey, to each his own! And no, my room wasn't messy (at the time, is now! :p), he likes the towel. He really is adorable, but he's teething, so all he does is bite people. But he's so darn cute!!!!

This is my cat, Chloe. She is the sweetest little thing! (OK, so she's not so little). She likes eating, sleeping, and trying to knock me off my pillow so she can lay on it. Note I said 'trying'. ;-). She's also somewhat terrified of Snick :-/ but she's gotten better.
Frieda. The loudmouth. She bays when you don't pet her. She bays when you do pet her. She bays when you stop petting her. She bays when you look at her. She bays when you don't look at her. But when she wants your food she just stares. Thankfully she sleeps a lot, or bays at Snoopy instead.
Snoopy. Aka Slick. Aka the Smart-Ass. He didn't like being locked in the backyard so he broke through the siding on our linei and dug a hole under the side outside the fence by the stairs. This dog PLOTS! No wonder Frieda's always screaming at him!
Ginger. The bulldozer. Why go around when she can just bulldoze her way through? This has resulted in her being screamed at quite a few times, cause sometimes her way through involves pain for one of us. Or in my mother's case once, almost being knocked down the stairs. She's just a big puppy, I think she thinks she's only Snick's size. She's really, really not.
Puppy. The other smart-ass. She used to be be a good escape artist too (and very good at framing Buddy for stuff. She'd wait till he was in the room, then do something wrong, then run out of the room so it looked like Buddy did it so he's be punished.) but now she pretty much just wants to be left alone to nap. And everyone (the dogs and us) know better than to disturb her beauty rest. If she's awakened suddenly she'll scream and snap at whoever did it. The other dogs don't mess with her, and we make a lot of noise going up to her so she's not startled. When she's awake she's a really sweet dog though! :-D
Buddy. Another loud-mouth. The wind blowing (or not) is usually enough to set him off, and he's so. freaking. LOUD! He's really sweet except when another dog tries to come up while he's being pet. Or when we give them dinner. Then he growls up a storm and tries to guard every. single. pile. so that no one ELSE dares to get any food. Which is why we have to have piles all over the place so he can't guard them all. He's kinda sick right now though, we're taking him to the vet in the next day or two.
Tyson. The General. My sisters dog, he's a depressed pooch. He pretty much sleeps and eat. He kinda reminds me of a canine version of Eeyore! He's called the General because whenever there's a dog fight he always waddles over as fast as he can and bays at everyone involved like he's telling them off for dissention in the ranks!
Dumpster. The Psycho. My sisters other dog, he's pretty much insane. When I see him in the backyard it's like watching a ping-pong ball. He's always into everything, and he has a weird bottle obsession. He likes empty (or not empty, often to someone's dismay) bottles so he can take off the lid, crush the bottle, and then leave them all over the house. FUN!!! He also competes with Buddy as to who can be a bigger ass during dinner. I think he's winning.

So, that's all of them. *pant* *pant* *wheeze* Maybe next time I'll do an actual REAL post, lol. Maybe when my mother finally turns on the air again. Or maybe I can borrow a laptop when I end up in the hospital for heat-stroke. I'm sure they have air-conditioning!

And now I'm being forced to go clean. Grrr.

Later!

Black Holes and Battlestar Galactica

OK, so I was gonna post earlier, but we lost phone and internet connection for a few days, so I actually have a good excuse for once! I would like to say that I used the time to catch up on my reading, but all the books that I have I’ve read at least a half dozen times, and I’m not desperate enough to read my mothers’ Us Weekly. Yet. All I have to say is, thank God we didn’t lose our cable!

I’ve been going kind of documentary-crazy the past week or so, and the other night I watched one that theorized that there were micro black holes on Earth (primarily in the Bermuda Triangle). No, I don’t believe it. And no, I haven’t slept well since then. While I do believe weird stuff happens in the Triangle, I don’t think a black hole is responsible. Mainly because if it was, I would never sleep again. I came to the conclusion after I watched that that I need to start avoiding documentaries that even mention black holes.

So last night I watched a documentary on super-massive black holes (heh) that basically said that we have one at the center of the milky way galaxy. This was after I spent the entire day watching Perfect Disaster, and two other doc’s about Killer Waves and Killer Lakes. Personally I think that sleep is over-rated.

On a more pleasant note, I’ve been Od’ing on Deadliest Catch Season 2 repeats during the week. I really love that show. New season starts April 3! Wahoo! The timings good, because I’m gonna need something to fill the Battlestar Galactica void (season 3 ends Sunday, and season 4 doesn’t start until January! *sob*) Side note - 22 episodes for season 4 including a movie!!!! Wahoo!!!

RANT WARNING! RANT WARNING!

Speaking of BSG (because I feel that I’ve been very restrained on the amount of time that I spend talking about it here), I’ve been reading a lot of spoilers about the finale (no, I won’t put them here. Go to the TWOP or Sci-Fi boards if you want to see them), and all I have to say is WTF?!?!?! At least one character is revealed to be a cylon (not really a spoiler, it says that in the commercial that they aired at the beginning of season 3.5), and the who that some of the spoilers point to has me scratching my head. If they’re true, next season some ‘splaining needs to be done. On the plus side something happens that could lead to a good storyline for my favorite character, Sharon ‘Athena’ Agathon (who I feel has been greatly under-used all of season 3, to the point where I’m suffering from withdrawal. Although the FULL deleted scene of Sharon and Cally was kick-ass! I love badass!Sharon!). Um, hello, can somebody give the woman some screen time? And her own episode, too, please. She’s like, the only character that hasn’t had one (no, Boomer’s doesn’t count. Same actress, yes, but it’s a diff character). If I had to sit through two episodes in a row about Chief Tyrol and his annoying wife Cally (who just won’t seem to die. I finally got my wish and she was ejected out of an airlock, and she survived!!!!! Nothing against the actress, but Cally. Must. DIE!) I think I’ve earned a Sharon episode.

OK, my rant is over now. I think I’m gonna go watch Survivorman.

Later!

Some (More) Blogthings Test Results

OK, sooo, I was bored (again) and somehow ended up on Blogthings (again) and went a little quiz-crazy (again). So lacking the energy and coherence (blame Icehouse. I am, of course, blameless O:-)...

I'm Baaaaack!!!!

Well, it’s certainly been awhile since my last entry hasn’t it? The joys of having a computer in ones mother’s room. A lot’s changed since my last entry. Well, not a lot. A lot for me though. I don’t embrace change. (WARNING- THIS WILL BE A LONG ONE. I’M SERIOUS. GET COMFORTABLE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)

So, anyway, the main change is that the house sold, and I am now in Florida. Yes, your quirky (but lovable!), sun-phobic hostess is now in the sunshine state (unless that’s California or something. Cause that‘s not where I am, lol). Needless to say, there is much hiding in my room with the shades drawn, despite repeated attempts by my mother to go to Toys R Us to get a bad mitten set (why?). I am saved from sunburn hell by the sheer fact that our backyard has ants that bite (God I hate nature). I. Don’t. Do. Outdoors.

So, anyway, our house sold and we left Annapolis Dec. 15 (and left all of our crap up there in a storage room. It’s still there. More on that in the next paragraph.) The plan was, we were renting a mini-van, my oldest sister would drive that with my grandmother in the passenger seat, my mother and I in the car, and divide the four dogs and two cats between the cars. That was the plan. What changed? Well, we got another dog. A half Chow, half German Sheppard named Ginger. Because we didn’t have enough pets, let’s add another right before we go on a 16 hour trip (my favorite reaction to the news was my father‘s. I told him we got another dog, and I swear I could hear the earth rotating on its axis). No, seriously, she belonged to one of my sister’s neighbors, and was being tied outside 24/7, never allowed inside, even when it snowed, rained, nothing, and had NO shelter. I would just like to take a momentary break from my normal quirkiness to say that people who tie their dogs like that should be shot. She was also emaciated and attention-starved (I am at this very moment trying to get through to her the fact that she is not a lap dog… I don’t think she gets it). Ginger is a very sweet dog, doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in her body, you just gotta watch your fingers when you give her a treat, lol, or she’ll bite them off.

So, yeah, um…. The storage room. Yeah, you might be wondering why all of our crap is still in Annapolis. Well, the moving company we HAD had lined up showed up, whined that he would have to walk around the back of the building to where our house was, and then bitched that there was too much stuff for 2 men, he needed three, and he wasn’t gonna do it. Um, hello, someone DID come by to see how much junk we had and I’m sure that they noticed that they had to walk around the building. What an asshole. So, we were left trying to find a moving company to pick our stuff up the next day, and it takes a bit to get a crew to take stuff to a different state. So, we had to open yet another storage room in Annapolis. Give us another few years, and I’m sure that we’ll have a storage room in every state, lol. So, basically our crap sits up there until my mother gets around to calling a moving company to bring it all down here. I. Want. My. Stuff!!!!

So, we get down here, and do we move into our new place? Nope. Why? We didn’t have one. Yes, my faithful readers (hi dad!), your quirky (but lovable!) hostess was homeless for Christmas. *sniff* We ended up staying in the worst days inn on the planet for, oh, two-three weeks. This place SUCKED!!! Half the lights didn’t work, we paid to have a refrigerator and freezer (they weren’t there), the sheets and comforter and one of the towels was FILTHY when we first arrived (the maids brought us clean ones the next day though.). And it was pay in advance for some reason. We’d pay for a few days, then at the end of that, we’d pay again for ANOTHER few days. We stayed at a days inn in VA (we didn’t get very far the first day. We’d stayed up all night getting the house in nice condition for the walkthrough, and we were EXHAUSTED!) and it was a nice, clean, comfortable place that you paid as you left like most places. Hey, at least it wasn’t by the hour.

We finally settled on our “Mobile Villa” last week, and can I just say, thank God. If I had had to spend another day in that place, I would have gone crazy(er). But that means that your quirky (but lovable) hostess has been without internet access for over a month. Without digital cable for over a month. Without even crappy days inn basic cable for a little over 2 weeks. It has not been a happy time for your beloved hostess. We bought a TV, and I had brought my poor little $30 DVD player that I had bought from Sears (that I had lent to my mother, and after only one day, SHE LOST THE REMOTE!!!! Sorry. I’m still bitter :-P), so we went to Wal-Mart, and bought a bunch of DVD’s (including, like, 6 or 7 that my mother didn’t want to buy that yours truly REALLY wanted. Woot!) and watched them to keep from dying of boredom. We only JUST NOW got internet and digital. Oh, and a phone line. On the plus side, my mother knows nothing of cable channels or packages or anything, so she gave ME the phone to tell the lady what ‘we’ wanted. Heh. We’ve got digital (in the living room, plus the boxes for mine and my mom’s room for when our TV’s make it from Maryland) with DVR, and every. Single. Premium. Channel. YES!!!!!!!! WAHOO!!!!!!!!! I’ve never had DVR before. I’ve heard good things about it. And since my VCR is in storage *grrr*, I imagine that it will be getting quite a workout from your hostess, the Record Junkie. And just in time for the mid-season premier of Battlestar Galactica Sunday, and Heroes Monday. YESSS!!!!!! Life. Is. Good. Hee!!!!

OK, I have rambled MORE than enough for one day. Way more than enough, actually. So, yeah, I’m gonna go play around on the internet (I am in serious BSG spoiler withdrawal. MUST! REMEDY! *frantically goes off in search of Sharon….er…..BSG spoilers*.

Later!!!

Why My Life Is Dull & Why Peter Pan and Margaritas Don't Mix

OK, so it's been, like forever since I last posted. I was tired! Deal, LOL.

So, anyway, not much to report happening here but insignificant crap, but I figured hey, it hasn't stopped me before! So let the crap begin!

My sister and I had a margarita night a couple weekends ago, and came to the conclusion that the best movie to watch during it was Peter Pan (the 200-something one, not the cartoon- cute movie, BTW) because we forgot what tequila does to brain cells. So, by the time the credits roll, we're goofy enough begin to think it might be fun to try to fly. My sister going so far as to climb onto her chair and say "think happy thoughts!". Me (who is not drunk enough to be on a chair, my paranoia transcends alcohol, LOL), being the ever so serious and sensible one, yells out "Gumdrops!" and jumps into the air, making both my sister and I burst out laughing and she (thankfully) got down from the chair. Incidentally, I had no idea what the hell gumdrops were, only that apparently they were really good, until I was clued in by a co-worker (I forget who), and now all I have to say is "Ew!". So, that was fun. LOL.

So at work the other day (I don't do segways, LOL), we were so busy and swamped by customers that we came up with prison names for ourselves (don't ask, LOL). So far we have a Bud, Bubba, O.B. (which stands for something that I'm gonna make you guess about, LOL), I forgot one of them because I only heard it once and I have the memory and attention span of a gnat, and I think I ended up being Lefty. It was something else, but then it got changed to Lefty. I think. LOL. And that's what I do at work.
:p.

Got a couple new DVD's, am waiting on a crapload more. Got a cell phone. Somebody may or may not buy our house at some point in the near future (there's somebody who MIGHT be interested...we'll see), and I am currently freezing my ass off because somebody turned the air down to like, 5. I suppose I could go downstairs and turn it up, but it's on the first floor, I'm on the third, and it's, like, really far, LOL. So I'll just complain. :D

Alright, I'm gonna go play around online. Maybe look for stuff I can blow some of my paycheck on at Amazon (my version of window shopping, LOL). Sooooo, yeah, OK, I'm done now.

Later!

My Dull Life, My Nephew's Hampster, and Why I May End Up In Oz (The One With Dorothy, LOL)

OK, it's late, and I'm tired, so this'll be a quick one, LOL.

Not much has happened recently (see how exciting I am? LOL), I've mainly been working, sleeping or cleaning, LOL. Did my taxes. Been broke. Loads of fun!! I love the state of Maryland tax refund people. They gave me my money already. Go Maryland!!!

My current project is getting my sister to get her sons hampster out of my room and back into hers. Grrrr. I gotta admit though, it is a cute little thing. Too bad it being in my room means I can't have my cat in my room without it ending up an hors d'oeuvre (three guesses as to how long it took me to get the spelling on that one right, LOL). Or scaring the crap outta her. Definitely one or the other (as I 'speak', I moved my hand too fast while petting her and she hauled ass to the other side of the room. Isn't she brave? Descended from lions. Heh).

I think our house is going on the market this week. Yay. And as soon as it sells, my mom is going to buy a house in Florida and everyone (literally. Everyone. Everyone. In my family, where one goes, the others are henpecked until they follow, LOL)will be moving down there. My mother says that the houses down there are very affordable right now. Might have something to do with the fact that it's almost HURRICANE SEASON!!!!!! Yes sir, you're quirky (but lovable!) hostess (otherwise known as 'The Paranoid Person') will be moving to a place where around half of every year she will be wondering whether she'll have a house with a roof, or if she'll have to drive down the street to find her roof wrapped around a tree pole (literally. That actually happened to a friend of my mothers', LOL.) My mother says that the part we're moving to doesn't get hurricanes, but have you seen the Doppler radar or map or whatever during a hurricane? You can't even see Florida!!! To which she replied that the area we're going too just usually gets tornadoes. Great. Thanks mom. That was a big help. Appreciate it. Wonderful. Were there no vacancies located directly over the San Andreas Fault?

OK, Now that I'm all wound up, I think that I'm gonna go watch Perfect Disaster now. :P.

Later!

Shout-Outs, Take-Out, and Why I Love The Discovery Channel

I would like to start by giving a shout-out to Ateri Williams at store #14. There's your shoutout girl. Now stop looking for things to throw at me so I'd mention you. Hee:p

So, two posts in less than a week. I'm outdoing myself (not that that's very hard, mind you, LOL). Not a whole lots been happening, got two of my DVD's I ordered from Amazon.com today (Braveheart, which my mother has never seen and I feel she should have to cry for a month after seeing it same as everyone else, and Memoirs of a Geisha, which I have never seen but I think it looks good, plus Ziyi Zhang is in it and I love her, so life it good, LOL).

My sister and her boyfriend ordered take-out not too long ago, and actually got me something. And she bought me a card yesterday (a nice one!) for absolutely no reason. Now I just have to figure out what the hell she did, LOL. Either that or she must be up to something. Hmmm. Oh, and she just came up here to give me the rest of her onion rings. I love onion rings! Mmmmmm, greasy. Thanks Christine!! (Onion rings get you shout-outs, too, LOL)

Oh oh oh!!! Almost forgot!! The Discovery Channel just started a new show that s perfect for your quirky (but lovable!) hostess!!! Perfect Disaster!!!! It basically uses science to figure out what's the worst that could happen in this instance (debut episode Super Typhoon doing a direct hit on Hong Kong, next week, Super Flood in London), how it could happen, what the devastation would be, and basically if and when this happens you're pretty much just SOL. Hee! My kind of show!! Think of all the sleep I'll be able to lose over this!!!! I'm all aquiver!!!! Yay!!!!! *jumps up and down squealing*

Oh, and the Discovery Channel (which is getting major kudos from me this week, if you didn't notice. Mmmmm, Kudos, yummy chocolatey goodness. Mmmmmm) is also premiering season 2 of Deadliest Catch this Tuesday! First off, I hadn't even known they'd make a season 2, second off, YAY!!!! I don't know what it is about that show, but I love it. I don't like fishing, I don't like boating (i have a phobia about large open bodies of water..ie oceans, lakes, streams, ponds, etc.), I don't like crabs (they look gross, but I sometimes like eating them, but it takes awhile if it's from the shell cause that piece of crabmeat has to be very clean before I eat it, LOL), but I love this show. *Continues jumping up and down squealing*

Anyway, LOL, I just downloaded iTunes, so I'm gonna go look for songs now. I'll post on here again as soon as I get the chance (I know, I know, you can barely function in anticipation of my next post. I feel you. Heh.). So anyways, I'm going away now (and strangely enough, it's not to a nice padded room with a pretty white jacket, LOL).

Later!

Um, Random Stuff I Couldn't Think Of A Title For

OK, so I haven't posted in two weeks. Sue me, LOL.

Seriously, though, it's been a busy couple of weeks for your quirky (but lovable!) hostess. I went to the Natural History Museum in DC with my family ('cause they wanted to come too, LOL)the Sat before last. Loads of fun. Lots of walking back and forth across the mall while waiting for everybody to get there. (Sidenote - Why the hell is it called the mall? I see no stores. Seems odd, LOL.) We also went to the WWII Memorial to see my grandfather's name on their...computer. OK. Whatever. LOL.

Since then, I've either been working or (occasionally) cleaning (THIS hostess is considered domestically challenged, LOL), but mostly when I've been home I've been avoiding my family (hehe) or just plain haven't been able to get on the computer to update (computers in my moms room....Dude, I need a Dell, LOL).

Not really much new has happened (did that make sense to ANYBODY? LOL), besides the fact that I currently have a new show to obsess over, LOL. The new Doctor Who on the Sci-Fi channel. Good show. Funny. The Doctors insane (and kinda hot, LOL), which makes it my kinda show, LOL.

Hey, I wonder if I can change text colors on here? (Hey, look at the page title. I SAID it was random, LOL.) Hmm, I'll try that when I have more time (I have to get ready for work in an hour, and I have other stuff I need to do on here first.) Soooo, yeah.

OK, I need to stop typing now, LOL. I will leave all of you with a (somewhat dark and poor quality cause it was taken with a cell phone by my seven year old nephew. He did a pretty good job though, don't ya think?) with a picture of my cute wittle Chloe kitty (who is the cutest wittle kitty cat in the whole wide world....What?). She also answers to Tubbo, LOL. Don't you worry, though. I'll get a better picture for ya soon, LOL. Hold you enthusiasm. (Suddenly hears crickets chirping.) HEY!!!

Top 10 Things I Do At Work When I'm Bored

10. Pretend I'm Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later (minus the flesh-eating zombies, gore, and general gross-ness, LOL).

9. Obsess over BSG (OK, Sharon, LOL) spoilers.

8. Wonder why the hell all zombies are of the flesh-eating variety. You would think in this day and age, at least one of the risen dead would have been a vegan, LOL.

7. Oooh, Cadbury cream Eggs!!!!!!!!!

6. Remember one-liners from Airplane ("I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.") and The Princess Bride ("Bye-bye boys! Have fun storming the castle!") that make me laugh, thereby giving further proof to my coworkers that I'm a nutjob, LOL. Like they need more, LOL.

5. Continue to obsess over BSG (Sharon) spoilers.

4. Worry about whatever disaster I recently saw a documentary about on the Discovery Channel. You know, sharks one day, super volcanoes, floods, or tidal waves the next. My personal high point is when I saw a documentary about super black holes in which they said that, in six billion years, our galaxy (the Milky Way...great, now I want a candy bar, LOL) could collide with another galaxy which would destroy everything in each one. Six billion years from now. I couldn't sleep for two weeks, LOL.

3. Continue to work on plot to rid the world of clowns.

2. Try to remember words to the random songs I get stuck in my head for no reason (I mean, come on, when's the last time I even heard Walk Like An Egyptian??? That's just not fair, LOL).

1. So, when Sharon told Helo there was a dark time coming, was it because she's uber depressed 'cause of losing her baby? Or are all Cylons just prophetic? Which would mean that humanity is even more frakked than they thought, LOL. Hmmmmm. Or maybe.............Hey, who are those men with the butterfly nets?
