i guess things do happen for a reason

it's 11:10PM friday night and i'm at work. problems... i didn't answer my phone when it rang cause i'm not on call. but i recognized the number and got sad, it was work. when the message popped up on my phone i checked the messages and sure enough i needed to go in. :( i guess there was a reason i couldn't secure an activity partner for this evening. i need to make some "good time" friends here in the 'cuse.

before i got the call i went to see jackass2. very very funny. my favorite line of the whole movie is, "was the dick hair necessary?" by far that was the best bit of the entire movie. i had to cover my face and not watch two of steve-o's bits. shark fishing and the leech skit. chris pontius gets hotter and hotter each year. bam margera is pretty hot as well.

a funny thing happened at the movies tonight. as you could imagine most of the audience are high schoolers, after all, who enjoys that kind of shit besides underage boys? looking back i should have expected this..

i get up to the ticket taking lady and have to set down my drink to find the ticket in and amongst my napkins and nachos (cause the bastards at shoppingtown didn't have any pretzels... its friday night for christs sake) i find it and hand it to the 90 year old woman. she looks at it like its stolen or something and then accusingly asks me how old i am. i am expecting her to say, theater 4 down on your right, so i'm a little flustered and say ugh, twenty.... i mean 30. then i laughed a little and she begrudgingly handed my ticket back. i bet she was wondering where my parent or guardian is. i think you need to be 18 to see a rated R movie. i realize i look young, but 17?? come on... maybe it was my legwarmers.

i don't have plans for tomorrow night! yeah!!

i am finding myself with a full bank account and noone to spend money with tomorrow night. :( i've reached out to a few local friends and no luck so far. one is busy, another is blowing me off and the third probably has to work. there are so many movies on my list in theaters right now i just might have to go it alone.

i've been emailing with a couple of people from match.com though, so maybe something will present itself in the nick of time.

i've been asking around about halloween and local parties, it's a little upsetting the lack of enthusiasm for the holiday that i am running into... someone that sits next to me even went so far as to say that "halloween is a kids holiday". what what what? i beg to differ.. i think there are plenty of good *adult* times to be had at halloween. :( i might have to make the trek to boston to partake in the fun to be had.... some of my most memorable nights are in an amongst halloween. ;)

today is Mrs JennyB-P's birthday... happy birthday hussy! i *think* she is thirty... dirty thirty!! wish her well if you see her!

gambling...

cath and i were in such a good groove of going to the gym on MWF's, i knew going to bed last night we wouldn't be making it this morning cause cath went to bingo last night.

going to bingo isn't what you would imagine, its no small room with a spinning basket of numbers and 90 year old women daubing bingo cards at the local elks lodge. its a gigantic room thick with smoke and vicious gambling addicts spreading their boards all over their tables, setting up their good luck idols, spending hundreds of dollars a pop on each session, and chain smoking. the smoke and imminent lung cancer is unavoidable. the bingo culture is a curious bunch. some of cath's "bingo friends" travel from rochester (2+ hours away) daily to get their bingo fix. it's very hard for me to believe that these people win any money after you figure in the 100+ fees they are paying per session (2 sessions daily) the cigarettes, the gas and the food. sometimes these rochester people pick up their ex-prostitute friend along the way. its pretty sad going to bingo actually, and did i mention tough on the lungs?

so anyway... cath set off for bingo straight from work and i knew that our gym date was not happening. sure enough i woke up at 1am-ish when she was getting home.. when 530 rolled around cath didn't stir. i woke up again at 630 to her sneaking downstairs. tsk tsk.. too tired from gambling to go to the gym, where are the priorities?

but does you flush?

wooo who! finally, a night where i am done with work before 10pm!

my blog activity has been lacking lately mostly because i am making some cash at my side job, so i apologize. :)

i think i am a total idiot and misplaced/possibly threw away my receipt etc for the rebate on my new cell phone. :( i can't believe i did that, but i have searched high and low and have no idea where it could be..

speaking of cell phones. i cancelled my old phone, so if you have a MA number programmed into your phone for me (JB-P and KT) its wrong, and it won't work after the 22nd of October.

i have been extended an invitation to go see jackass2 tomorrow.. i think i might do it.

i just spoke on the phone to breeD. she's coming in on saturday, we are going to *meet up with* lisha sometime ths weekend...

i keep seeing previews for Lost while i watch dancing with the stars... oooooooo i am getting soooo excited for Lost next week.

i came up with a really kewl idea (i think) for the next mail art... jamie is in luck!!

smoked out...

i've always hated people smoking. when sarah and jr come to visit it's like smokefest. it's unreal the amount of time and money those people put into killing themselves. it's so disgusting. i was even "lucky" enough to be ashed on multiple times while trying desperately to suck some fresh air from the outside in the back seat of the car. i've decided i'm not tolerating that shit anymore...

aside from trying desperately to breathe fresh air this past weekend i went to watch the UFC 63 at the beers' house. they have the largest TV i've ever seen. i can see why their house is always the tv watching destination. shan made this spectacular buffalo chicken dip. i think the best part was she food processed the chicken to make it wicked tiny..

we made the obligatory trip to kohls and target, i found some good stuff. but not what i set out this morning to get. :(

when sarah comes to visit, so do the animals. they are pretty cute, they got their halloween outfits, very cute.. ones a geisha and ones a fisherman.

while i listen to football in the other room i realize that i do not miss fantasy football one tiny bit this year. woooo who! and i know i won't miss paying the winner my $20 at the end of the season.

another thing about this weekend that makes me mad (besides the incessant smoking) is that i did not get called in. i gave up a bachelorette party because "i'm on call" and didn't even get called in. ugh. pisses me right off.

this next weekend i can look forward to having the house to myself and enjoying a visit from breeD.

my goal is to make my next piece of mailart this week. however... i am curious as to why the last recipient (bykfam) hasn't let me know he received the phat last one i made. perhaps it got lost..

announcement...

if anyone wants to come to see some of my drawings hanging at "Essential Kneads" in Cicero, i will be stopping by there at 12 on Saturday. i am going to try to listen to the speaker they have on acupuncture. they are also offering massages for a dollar a minute.

their website with directions etc, is here.

i smell like chlorine

today i tested out my new swim suit. its very nice, i like! cath and i are supposed to walk out the door at 6am for the Y. i slept till 5 after. :) hee hee, i was so glad cath agreed to have a "swim day" rather then our usual cardio day. i lost my toe ring in the pool, but the kind lifeguard helped me out and i was able to swim down to the bottom of the pool and get it. phew!!

sarah and jr come to visit this weekend. i see some art show going and bridesmaid dress trying on in our future, and maybe some kohl's shopping and i heard old navy is having a sale too. woooooot!

i am planning to see my first UFC fight this weekend with the beers and the fischers minus b*ll. i hope its bloody!!

i've been working mad hours at night while i watch my shows.. i should have a phat paycheck next week.

survivor was funny last night, that billy thinks hes in love with that girl. wtf! i hope jeff brings it up next time he sees that girl.
