superbad

i saw superbad tonight. it was hil-larious. i highly recommend everyone see it. i just love seth rogan and jonah hill, and michael cera is very funny too. it's a movie that i will definitely buy. it's like knocked up without the unwanted pregnancy. i have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more of jonah hill.

a weird thing happened though at the theater. KW said that she had been to a free preview before and had to put her cell phone in her car. i've been to a bunch of free previews, and have never had to do that, granted i usually go to the carousel.... but sure enough, the movie nazis made us forfeit our cell phones and they wanded us. however... they didn't catch my camera in my purse. i meant to take a video while i was in there just to spite them, but i was laughing too much.

is there anything cuter, really?

i couldn't resist taking this picture of the car parked ahead of me at wegmans today...

than muddy paw prints all over your car? i kinda wish fatty was allowed outside so she could make prints on my car. i also remember as a kid clamoring into the blue dodge van to find the cat had crawled in the open window over night and was still sleeping inside, like goldilocks.. i think if i get a cat when i have my own place i will let it go outside. for these reasons, but mainly because i hate cat litter.

wow, it's been a while.

since my last post i've seen Hairspray, submitted an application to be a tv/movie reviewer, finished the drawing. lost at trivia. gave a presentation for some impt people at my company, and in turn met someone else i work with, micromanaged camping (i can't help it... i have nightmares if i don't think out all the details) talked to a few people on the phone, watched my shows... that might be it...

i am going to see a preview of superbad tomorrow night. should be very funny. the KWs are joining me.

this saturday i have to attend "defensive driving", or "driver retraining" as it's called in MA. i heard i have to take a test at the end of it all. i hope i pass, more importantly i hope i have the details about where it is and when i need to go. i'm hoping i put it into my outlook calendar. :)

bourne ultimatum

the fischers were gracious enough to go to the movies with me. we saw the new matt damon movie. it was great! i am not usually drawn to action movies, but i have really liked this series. my favorite part of the movie was when he almost killed someone with a book. :) PF had a good point though that during the extensive car chase/crashes not one airbag went off. :) the movie also made great use of surround sound. there were a couple of times where i looked to my left because i heard something coming from over there only to discover that it was the movie. i kind of wanted to crash into cars as i was leaving the theater on 690.. i wanted to gun it and just hit whatever was in my way.. however, seeing as the po po have it out for me right now, i restrained myself.

the neighbor across the street is turning 80 this month. her party is next weekend, so i have been doing a drawing of her house. it's going way quicker than i thought. it got me thinking too, maybe i could do some drawings/watercolors of some of the local areas that are meaningful to me and perhaps sell prints of them online as a side thing.. i've posted a photo of my progress on my art blog.

tomorrow for mike and caths 34th anniversary they are taking me to the movies and then out to dinner. woot.

procedure over.

i had my biopsy today. (or autopsy as EH referred to it as). it was no big deal. mike came with me, and was my chauffeur for the day. i was called into one of the rooms about 15 minutes after i arrived and filled out a bunch of paperwork and met the anesthesiologist. then i was told to put on the robe, and wait. so while i am waiting in the little room i hear a man screaming for martha in the next room i'm supposed to be going into. he shouts for her 2-3 more times, then he picks up the intercom and screams for her again. i started to get nervous that that is how the doctor acts..

the anesthesiologist peeked his head and said that they were almost ready for me, and "did i hear yelling?" i said yes.... and he said, "oh, don't worry, it's just us talking, not the patients".

when i finally get in there the anesthesiologist takes my left arm and immediately starts to put in my iv in. and there is a nurse that immediately starts taking my blood pressure. then the anesthesiologist (whom i am probably older than) and the nurse grill me in disbelief that i am 31. well. all the yelling and the impending procedure must have influenced my blood pressure, it was 169/100, she took it again, it went higher. it took until they shut off the lights and he put his hand on my forehead that my blood pressure fell to 117/69.

i had mild sedation, and he gave me the photos of what they saw.

this one isn't marked at all like the last one was. but it's cool none the less.



i'll hear about the results in a week or so.. i am not even sure i know what i want to hear. if i hear that i do have celiac, then i technically shouldn't eat gluten the rest of my life. if i don't have celiac, that's a little more comforting, but what is wrong with me?

i just watched "the devil wears prada". it was kind of good.

having movie withdrawals...

the last movie i saw in the theater was transformers and i am going through withdrawals.. would anyone in my area be up for seeing either "the bourne ultimatum" or "the simpsons"? there are dozens more movies that i have not seen as well, so if those two movies don't do it for you, i'd be willing to see anything else. a highly air conditioned place is a perfect getaway too to the oppressive heat that is going on here in the CNY anyway.

in other news... i'm being talked into going to mexico for my cousins wedding in February. i'm considering it a birthday present to me. :) and i should be back just in time for the birth of my niece in portville...

while i'm looking into going to mexico i am getting death glares and mean comments from mike and cath about moving out of the house. apparently only SB is allowed to stay as long as she wants. i should have figured, she is the golden child.

so i started looking into what kind of mortgage i could qualify for.. with my debt to income ratio, preliminary web calculators say i could afford a 22K house if i put 1K down. hmm... looks like the inner city with the crack whores is where i might need to start calling home.

maybe eD would hire me back at a better salary and perhaps i could afford a place in the hood of dorchester..

but anyway.. if anyone reading this wants to go to a movie with me friday or saturday let me know..

long time no chat..

last night i had a long overdue conversation with KT. she is back in the states and pondering a move to my favorite boston suburb. i have my fingers crossed that she finds something in oak square. :) it was nice to catch up on her exciting life. never a dull moment there.

i also went to wegmans and bought a bunch of groceries. i very rarely go to wegmans unless its for a quick lunch or breakfast it was nice to go last night and buy everything and anything i needed. i found some of the cutest, tiniest mozzarella balls on the olive bar. looove.

tonight is trivia and we have $55 to spend. it'll be a reunion of the original team... plus my aunts boyfriend and KWs parents.. good times!! i'm guessing striped shirt boy will not be wearing stripes..

i kind of just realized that this is an extra short week for me. i was out monday, and i'll be out friday for my biopsy. woo who!!
