When I thought I was good for finishing two songs on easy

Here is a video of a nine year old doing an incredibly long song in expert on Guitar Hero III. He got a 95% and the song is so long.

Sadly this hasn't changed much since last year

I got in the mood to go back and look at what was going on last year around this time. It was only last year that Saddam Hussein was hung- how strange. I also was checking to see what You tube clips worked and this was about the only one that did work.

And then I clicked on this afterwards and I couldn't help myself from laughing. I'm terrible. But I still don't like Perez Hilton.

Merry Christmas!

I am sitting at my apartment alone on Christmas. It really does sound sad when I type it, but I already had my Christmas last night and it isn't like I don't see them all the time. I came back last night at around 1 AM. It's snowing outside right now and it looks beautiful.

Christmas Eve was really good this year. Mainly because for the first time in my life I acted like a grownup at Christmas. I really was more interested to see what other people got than myself. It kind of amazed me- which makes me sound really bad... I got a Shiatsu massager, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD, Superbad DVD, a beautiful Black Hills Gold necklace that isn't too Black Hills goldy. I also got a digital photo display that is unfortunately not compatible with my camera's card. I also received The Daring Book for Girls from my sister, A Night at the Museum DVD, and some other little things. It was so nice. I also realized that I can actually make something yummy and easy- chocolate covered pretzels. I am totally making them my own thing every year.



I dad's Christmas tree extravaganza was fun this year. We had people go by and slow down and honk, and clap their hands. It makes my dad very happy and it does look beautiful, like an enchanted forest. We three siblings pulled the fast one on mom and dad by getting them gift cards to Lowe's for their main present. It was nice because quite frankly we did destroy their house growing up and they can decide to use the money however they want to rather than getting a lot of small gifts. I typed up this little poem and put it with my gift card which I had mom open first.

Dear Mom and Dad,

You kept us clothed and you kept us fed,
yet to your house we brought much dread.

Stains on carpets, and rings on the table.
We're sorry that we were unstable.

We discussed getting something for the yard,
But decided to go with a gift card.

It isn't even a small part in what we owes'
but hopefully you like something at Lowe's


We love you lots,
Your three tots


I went with rhyming because it was very easy. Amy and Mark liked their DVD recorder, Taylor liked her everything High School Musical 2, especially her Nintendo DS system which I played for awhile, Nathan liked his Guitar Hero II with guitar (Amy also got him Guitar Hero III but on PlayStation). I sucked hard at the first four or so times I tried it, but then got pretty darn good and finished two songs. Yeah me! Samantha loved her My Little Pony Teapot palace, but was very tired because she didn't take a nap. I decided to leave last night because I liked leaving everything pleasant. I have a natural tendency to be a pain in the ass.

I get to work tomorrow so Hella and I are going to just settle in and be bums today. It will be awesome. Merry Christmas everyone!

I had to include the new pictures I took of her in the reindeer costume- she looks so mad!

Britney's Piece of Me Remixed

I actually like this remix it's better than the original.

Wednesday rants

I will continue to judge people when they tell me they love Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice. I have Private Practice going on in the background and I am completely amazed at how really bad the show is. It really is bad. Seriously when I think about it I get really mad. Please writer's strike continue long enough for people to realize how crappy that show is.


I watched Waitress last night. I got it from the library and it was alright. I liked after she gave birth, when she became a mama bear. It isn't one of those movies that I would watch over and over again...

I have two more days of work. I actually get Christmas Eve off! Of course, I don't get the day after Christmas though. I am working hard at getting vacation hours this winter because I only have about 25 right now, and I want enough to have a full week off in the summer and then a couple of two days vacations. I am ready to think about summer and winter hasn't even really started.

Denise Lies at Survivor Reunion Show

You liar! You do suck at life! Boo! Here is an article to go with it.

Survivor Lunch Lady a Big Fat Mullet Liar 1:32AM / 18.12.2007

Denise from Survivor not only sucks at life, but at lying too! Sunday nights she aired her personal life to the world again! The poor me, poor me sob story. Denise claimed that she was demoted from her lunch lady job and was now working as a janitor. This pathetic feel sorry for me plea convinced Mark Burnett to give her $50 000… Well, I bet he regrets it now.Various workers are claiming Denise is a liar and the school she works at is claiming that she was promoted before leaving for Survivor!

Douglas Public Schools released the follow statement Monday,

On the “Survivor China” television program that aired on December 16, 2007, Mrs. Denise Martin, an employee of the Douglas Public Schools, stated that she was demoted from her position as a cafeteria worker upon her return from taping the show. This statement is false. In fact, Mrs. Martin held a full-time position as a custodian prior to her participation in the series, and she returned to this same position upon her return from China. Mrs. Martin was granted - at her request - an unpaid leave of absence so that she could participate in the “Survivor” program. We were pleased and excited to support Denise, and have enthusiastically cheered her on throughout the duration of the show.

Although Mrs. Martin was a cafeteria employee prior to her selection as a contestant, she asked to be considered for a promotion to full-time custodian, and was promoted to this position on March 30, 2007. This promotion came with additional benefits and a higher salary. Following her leave, she then returned to this same position.

Regretfully, the Douglas Public School District was inaccurately portrayed as failing to be accommodating to an employee during what the District viewed as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity. This is far from the case. On the contrary, we granted all requests made by Mrs. Martin so that she could participate in the “Survivor” series. Since Mrs. Martin was on an approved leave, her position was held open for her, and she returned to this same position upon her return from China. As a District, we make every effort to support our employees, and will continue to do so.

Nancy T. Lane
Superintendent of Schools

Nancy Lane says she spoke with Denise on the telephone on Monday afternoon and that she was apologetic, but that “she did not explain why she said that to my satisfaction,” Lane explained. “It’s difficult to grasp. We did nothing but encourage her. She took leave for almost three months, she was given additional times off when ever she needed it. Now she says this on national TV…. Douglas is a nice little town. Everybody was rooting for her, the local paper was bending over backwards with positive articles. Then to have it end this way. Talk about a letdown.”

New trailer for Season 4 of Lost

I am so ready! Woo hoo!

Dead Like Me Season 2

I have been wanting to watch the second season of Dead Like Me and I discovered a site that allows me to watch it. sidereel.com. I am in love with it. I will probably watch most of my television shows from it. I want to connect my new television to my computer which I can- yeah!

Today is a monumental day in my life, yet it is going unnoticed by everyone including myself. So I would just like to say- yay me! I finally did it!

And how did I spend it? Sleeping in and having dreams in which I am a cult celebrity. It was really strange. I woke up and thought what the fuck. I have the most messed up dreams a week before my period. I also went to the mall- ugh! I absolutely abhor the mall. I realize that I am not a normal girl/woman because I really have never enjoyed being there.

Tomorrow I am going to go to Brookings for time with family, clean clothes, and Survivor finale on my sister's 50' Plasma television. Yeah- they had to top me with 13 more inches. I'm cheering for Todd- go Todd!

The Namesake

I watched this last night and cried like a little bitch. I adored the actress that played the mother. Kal Penn was good too, but the parents were the best.

My new television has arrived!

I am slightly in love with it. I have so many movies and television shows that it just seemed like a waste to watch them on tiny screens all the time. I'm happy that I can watch my shows and experience them fully. My apartment is a little chaotic, but I still took the picture. I kind of wish that I had gone for the 42 inch television, but I think that it actually was the just the right fit for my stand and for my current living arrangements. I can always get another bigger television later- haha I just thought about my mom reading that and freaking out. Don't worry mom it won't be for at least a couple years.

Dead Like Me, the movie?

So there is apparently going to be a movie of Dead Like Me. I got hooked on the show in the summer when I got it from the Brookings library so I'm pretty excited! They are having pretty much the same cast as the show with a few exceptions. Plus Desmond is in it!

Harold and Kumar sequel extended trailer!

This just in and extremely NSFW or young children. I am just really excited for NPH! It looks very dumb and I should be embarassed but I want to see it!

You Scream, I scream, we all scream for Henry!

Here is a clip from the upcoming Ugly Betty. I am so ready!

Heroes- Powerless

Oh Heroes. You are so like a guy, awesome at first and then you totally act of of character and eventually become something completely different and not in a good way.. Quite frankly I am relieved that it won't be back for quite some time. Is that mean? I can hope that Ali Larter won't be back- but I'm sure that won't happen :(

It was such a desperate rush of tying up loose ends that sucked in the first place. I can't even think of one character that intrigued me, not one. Even... dare I say it... HRG Noah Bennett didn't. There was just too much going on and that would be alright if the plot lines were exciting.

I just wish that I didn't feel that way- but frankly out of all 'my shows' this has become my least favorite. Maybe all the time striking will encourage creativity? Anyway I can hope...

Frustration over the smallest things

For the last 24+ hours I have been going batty trying to fix my computer's ability to play YouTube videos on my site and other sites. It showed me nothing except for that little picture with three shapes inside it up in the corner of the space where the video is supposed to be. I probably spent six hours trying to figure out how to fix it. It happened right after I bought/downloaded Print Master so I thought that I really fucked up the computer. It turns out that I just needed to uninstall and then re-install Adobe Flash. Now it works and I don't feel quite so stressed over nothing. In between the computer craziness I sat on my ass, went to the library and went shopping. It still is really crappy conditions outside. The streets are either clogged up or slippery. I just hate winter!

I just hate when something small gets me upset. The thing that was driving me crazy is that I could watch on YouTube, but other sites- no dice. Okay- Breathe Sarah!

America's Next Top Kitten video

This is a pretty cute video.

Psycho cat!

Well, I have an official reason not to become a crazy cat lady. Hella hates other cats. Every once and awhile a cat has come along and tormented her through the patio window, but right now she is going nuts! She has gone from hissing to loud grunts and every once and awhile comes over and tries to rub up against my legs. I can tell it is an ownership kind of rub though. I'm just scared that she is going to come over and try to scratch and bite me. The other cat is a kitten and has tried to meow at me to let it in. I feel bad leaving it out there, but I would feel worse with cat piss and blood everywhere. Hella would kill that cat. I'm also worried about what kind of noises she makes when I am gone during the day and sometimes night. She had the vertical blinds going back and forth. Pure pandemonium. Okay- it is getting quiet on the western front. Maybe the kitten left. I'm hearing some little meows though... I'm scared...

Update: She kept going at it for awhile after. I went to bed, but I could still hear her warning grunts. When I woke up the next afternoon there was a bunch of snow blanketing everything- so I wonder if I will find a Popsicle kitten when it melts... I hope not.

Damn winter weather!

I am typing this on extremely sore and chapped hands. I wash my hands so much everyday at work that when winter hits my hands sometimes get so bad they bleed. No joke! I have quite a bit to talk about tonight. I finally accomplished something today that I have been struggling to achieve for over ten years. I should feel relieved, but I have a knot in my stomach. And since I don't feel relieved I'm getting more stressed about it and it is just a big circle of frustration.

About a week ago I decided that I was going to get myself a present to celebrate my 'acheivement' and for all the holidays in the year. I bought a new television. It is a Vizio 37 inch LCD HDTV. I have been obsessing about getting one for about two months, and if people know me they know that I am a 'Miss One Note.' So it was only a matter of time before I got it. My mother will freak out when she sees it and that is why I will not tell her how much I paid for it. I do find it sad that I am having day dreams about watching television. I'm going to see how normal cable looks on it before I decide whether or not to get digital cable. I am curious about Direct TV as well. But that is putting the cart before the horse. At first I'm going to watch some movies and shows on DVD. I'm so excited!

I should get to bed because who knows where the day will take us except buried under snow and ice. I hate winter!!
