Damn F-ing computer

My computer (aka my parents') has officially died. I have revived it in the last couple of months about five times- when I thought it was really dead. But this time it is officially dead. Now I am in a computer lab in the library- and my stomach just made a strange sound that other people probably thought was gas. My life can't get too much worse than the last couple of weeks. I lost my contact and had to wear my glasses for about two weeks while waiting for them to finally make their way to me. Then I was thrown up on by a little girl at work- completely covered. Then my car needed to go in for repairs and it cost $300. Yeah, life is great.

I need to get my own computer.

I went out and bought both Kill Bills and I also bought In the Cut after I watched it last week. Mark Ruffalo is beyond yummy- I don't know what it is about Boston accents that drives me wild- but he has the best one.

Life in SF is going fine- just lonely still. Anyway I might not do much blogging since I don't have easy access to a computer anymore.

Confused mind

I am waiting to hear from Vickie about getting some of her things I have. She won't call me- because she is a coward. She is probably having an affair with a married man so she can't face me. It is just a CD and some pictures of her and her friends- barely any of 'my' friends- so therefore she is getting them. I have done all I can to try to reach out and be her friend- so basically I am trying to get rid of her shit I don't want anymore. It is pretty similiar to a 'break-up of a relationship. I just think that she is being the worst kind of bitch these days, and even if we were to become friends again- I could never fully trust her. You know that guys will break your heart- but when your friend does, the hurt is much deeper.

Enough of that shit- I am up because I am sort of sick and I took a sick day. I am not coming up to Brookings this weekend because I have plans with Rebekah.

I went to Anchorman the other night- it was funny but I probably wouldn't buy it. I also went to the Drive-in with my niece last weekend- we saw Princess Diaries 2 and then I stayed for The Village. I was a lot disappointed with both to be honest- the first one wasn't a big surprise- but I expected to like the Village more- but I am still contemplating the 'twist' and how the 'elders' made the community??? Still don't understand it completely- I mean I do but I don't...

A new show I love, love, love is Totally Obsessed on vh1. It is great- ya'll should check it out. I remember when VH1 sucked- they should do an reflection on that- since they have run out of decades.

Oh I have another comment- John Kerry looks like a cross between Herman Munster and a donkey. Me no likey- then again- me not really likey Bush either. Oh which one will I vote for?......

Dancing with myself

No it isn't only a song about masturbation- it describes me at Rebekah's wedding dance. I had a good time- it was a fun day- and I was determined to have a great time. I stayed up till 2- not out very late- but MN bars have last call at 12:45 AM. It feels like it was such a long time ago- but it was only a last week. Work keeps me occupied during the week. I am up to do free laundry and to sponge off my parents for a while.

I went to 'The Terminal' last weekend when I got back- and in fact I was so 'impressed' with the movie that I had to have my mother remind me just now what movie I had gone to. I like Tom Hanks but not enough to sit through that movie again. I bought some movies- Starsky and Hutch, 13 Going on 30, Reality Bites, and American (oh shit what is the last part- the one that is the comic of the guy Harvey Pekar- fuck!) is it Gothic? Anyway I like those movies so I got them. Who knows maybe I will talk more- RIP Rick James

I'm going to die alone

Hello and greetings from Minnesota!

I spent all day helping prepare the church for the wedding that takes place tomorrow. I have been running around so far like a chicken with it's head chopped off. Oh yeah and I think that Jamie's married brothers are really attractive. What is wrong with me? I am having a grand old time with Marilee (Rebekah's maid of honor) and we are bonding over being single and having a fun time- so hopefully the wedding will be a lot of fun tomorrow. Most likely won't type any more this weekend in Minnesota- but maybe up in Brookings if I go on the weekend.

Marriage and crazy family fights

I'm at Rebekah's to help with the wedding plans and decorating. The wedding is on Friday and we are going to have a busy couple of days. I'm going to be running around like a crazy person. But it will be a fun time for all. Right now there is drama going on with her and her sister. I know how that goes- I have an older sister too. I am here to calm her down and get her to the church- I hope I can do it.

Work is great and especially now since I don't have to be there tomorrow or the next day! If I don't have another opportunity to say anything tomorrow 'Happy Wedding Day Rebekah and Jamie'

Oh yeah and I went to Troy on Monday and had Mr. and Mrs. Can't Whisper or Shut up behind me. It was torturous- the husband was displaying his knowledge of the story of Helen of Troy and would talk to his wife all the time. Yaaaaaaayyyyy!

OKLAHOMA- or something like it

Hey- I had to get my new license so I just decided to come up to Brookings after I worked the early morning at work. I have it and damn I'm getting old. Anyway then I just intended to do laundry and go to sleep and wake up and go home on Saturday. But my sister had told my parents that she got tickets to Oklahoma performed by PRT for the next night. I wasn't too happy about it but it turns out it was for Friday night instead. So we got ready and went- and it was pretty damn bad. Sorry to anyone who may see this that is in the play. I liked very few characters- and the ones I did were doing a good job of mimicking the actors in the movie. Curly and Jud were a joke- and Ado Annie my favorite usually wasn't too wonderful (talk about vibrato). Will Parker and the Peddler man and Aunt Eller were good. Good God I am such a geek. But there was this little guy- must have been 4 feet something- who was so funny I couldn't stop laughing. Basically the entertainment was my sister and myself tearing it apart. My niece enjoyed it I think.

My sleepover went well last weekend- we did too many things in one day- but oh well. The wedding is next week- and man I'm not ready for it. I need to go and buy a dress or something. I have a spending problem- I'm making dimes and spending dollars. I bought three new CDs recently- don't laugh- the first was Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography- I said don't laugh! I then bought the new Now and Terri Clark's Greatest Hits album.

Life in Sioux Falls is going good- still lonely- and I think that I hole myself up in my apartment way too much- but it is still good. I enjoy my job at the end of the day and that is something I am grateful about. I'm not holding my breath about Vickie calling me and certainly not about other people I thought were significant that disappeared from my life.

So anyway- I'm pretty happy for the most part- peace out

Things are smoothed out now

I was very upset last night- I just hate being an adult babysitter.  I didn't know how or what I was going to say to Rebekah when she came over but somehow it worked out.  I gave her the money and we talked for about 45 minutes.  She has a lot of thinking to do. 
 
I also saw Vickie when we were out last night- and she is just not a very nice person.  People have problems with a friend then they tell them- they don't just ignore them and withdraw from their life- not after 22 years of friendship- then I guess that means that I never had a true friend to begin with. 
 
I'm going to have a sleepover weekend with my niece this next weekend!  Who knows where we will go and what we will do- at least I know that she won't go crazy on me- haha.  My birthday is on Tuesday- July 20th.  I am going to be 26!  I also found out last night that my driver's license is going to expire- damn it!
 
I recently rented '13 Conversations About One Thing', 'Bad Santa', and 'Mystic River'.  I watched the first two- and they were 'ehhh'.  I was expecting Bad Santa to be better- mainly because it co-stars Gilmore Girls' star Lauren Graham.  Unforunately I didn't like her in it.  I am going to watch Mystic River tonight when I get back home.


Reading got hotter!
