Well, finally! I was wondering if you would ever get them all!

I haven't started watching the new Heroes yet- I am pretty excited I guess. I feel so disconnected from the characters though after so much time off. I have to go shopping for groceries for a work potluck tomorrow! woo hoo

Then I get to go to work at 9:15 till 5:30 and then haul ass to Brookings to meet with a group for class. Then I get to stay there for who knows how long- and then come back.

Why is it cute when a baby swears?

If you haven't seen the Will Ferrell comedy short in which he stars with a swearing baby you've got to check it out- it's much cuter than it sounds. My parents wouldn't enjoy it because they hate anything Will Ferrell is in.


I had to take it off it was always playing- it never stopped! You can easily check it out it's called The Landlord.

Here are the results from Amy -she got six right. Woo hoo!

Why am I still up?

It probably has something to do with sleeping in until an ungodly hour Sunday afternoon (yes I said afternoon- don't judge me dang it!) I have had the weirdest, loneliest weekend that I can remember in recent history. Friday's big events consisted of me watching the movie Speak (It's a Showtime movie based on a young adult book and I liked it) then going to Wal-Mart at 11:00 PM. After I hauled home my unnecessary purchases I started watching Akeelah and the Bee. I was invited by friends to come to their house for the weekend and I should have accepted because I have been cooped up in my apartment all weekend. I feel like I'm practicing on being a shut-in or something- it's a little scary. Anyway- I woke up from a dream/nightmare on Saturday afternoon by my doorbell (a missed package delivery- darn!). I then called up my friend and proceeded to tell her my nightmare (I was still really sleepy- I feel bad now). Hell- I'm going to tell you too!

'In my dream I was in my bathtub (or my parent's - can't remember) and I was looking at my foot and I noticed some sort of odd mark. I thought it was some sort of weird pimple so I tried to pop it and all of a sudden black gunk starts seeping out of it and before I know it a disgusting caterpillar pops out and is in the tub with me. It suddenly grows in size and becomes a massive beast of a caterpillar. The weird thing is it seems to be made of children's craft foam sheets. Whenever I try to grab it, it runs around the bathtub. I finally trap it and it turns into some kind of sheets. With one hand I am holding down the squirming sheets and with the other I find directions for the caterpillar (which I guess I must have bought in egg form for daycare?) and then my dream got messed up because it said that there were 3 of them. I realizied that must mean two more caterpillars to find in my body- Aaaa! I put down the directions and I feel a bump on the back of my shoulder and just as I was popping that one out I woke up to the doorbell. Weird


I of course just looked up the main themes in the dream dictionary

http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

Caterpillars:

To see a caterpillar in your dream, signifies a stage in your own personal growth and development where you are on your way, but have not yet reached your goal. (Fair enough- I can see that even without the aid of a dream dictionary

The whole popping thing means:
To dream that you are popping your pimples, indicates that negative emotions about need to be expressed and acknowledge. Those emotions that you are holding back are on the verge of erupting.

Since it takes place while I'm in the bathtub:
To see or be in a bathtub in your dream, suggests a need for self-renewal and escape from everyday problems. You need to rid yourself of the burdens that you have been carrying. Alternatively, it indicates your mood for love and pursuit of pleasure and relaxation.

When I lay it out like that- it's completely strange that all three of those were together but they make complete sense. I believe that dreams tell us a lot- I just don't analyze every dream. There is a reason I had this dream though- maybe it is for this unique moment of realization. Huh- I really learned something while I was typing this...

Plus- Shia LeBeouf hosted SNL this weekend and was pretty good. Everytime I see him though I remember when my (ex)friend said she liked this boy on the Disney show Even Stevens- this was in 2003 and he has gone from little boy to very young man- it makes me feel sad and old. I liked the Digital Short they had I'll probably post it. I'm starting to get addicted to Jason Sudekis between SNL and 30 Rock.

My thoughts on Don Imus

Okay they are not very deep first of all. On work week mornings I usually watch television while I'm running around. I flip through the main channels and go through the big news channels- I have a very unique process that I just do- it's the OCD in me. Occasionally I would put my television on MSNBC during a commercial break and go about my business of grooming and dressing. All of a sudden I would start to fall asleep while standing and I'd look at the TV and suddenly be horrified at the image coming at me. (Sorry about the picture- it's making me a queasy) It was of course the radio 'personality' Don Imus. I did not thankfully grow up ever being aware of this guy and quite frankly have never sat and watched his show on purpose. In fact, I would rather watch CSPAN instead of him. When I first heard that Imus was making news with what he said on a broadcast my thoughts were 'somebody listened to him?' After hearing it repeated numerous times this week I am disgusted at it, but I am more disgusted that he would actually have a fan base at all. I mean there is truth to the saying 'He has a face for radio.' But Imus didn't/doesn't even have the voice for radio. Okay- I really don't know why I did this entry- but I for one am happy to be free of the fear of accidentally falling asleep while getting ready for work.

A mean comment (me venting)

I have been wanting to say something about this for the longest time and I have totally avoided it because it's mean to say, but man I have to. I don't know if a lot of people have been watching Top Design, but the finale was tonight and it was Matt and Carisa as the last two contestants. I just have to say how bad I feel for that Matt guy's beard of a wife. I feel more sad for their daughter. I mean come on- he is gay- there is no other explanation. If he really isn't it makes me feel even more disturbed. I have encountered a lot of similiar situations in real life and I have not felt as strongly as this situation. I am not saying that there is anything wrong about being gay- in fact it's the complete opposite. I just had to vent- because it just creeps me out! I still haven't seen Shear Genius- but thank god it will have gay guys being honestly gay. It's like how you feel about LeAnn Rimes husband, Amy.

A cute little game

Alright people have probably been doing this for awhile- but it's new to me. Steps for game are 1. Go to IMDb and type in 10 of your favorite movies (one at a time of course!) 2. find 3 plot keywords and 3. see if friends can guess your movies

Here it goes

1. mermaid, school dance, trophy
2. England, snow, lawyer
3. batting cage, face slap, lasting friendship
4. time travel, dance scene, New York City
5. school play, Christmas, London
6. balcony, candle, 1980's
7. sex in elevator, shopping, game show
8. running, feather, legless person
9. buddy film, pizza, rocket
10. end of the world, devil, mute

I probably made it too easy- I dare you Amy or anyone else to guess (ah- who am I kidding it will just be Amy maybe Nate). Enter in comments.
