Sugar High

Went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the IMAX in KOP tonight. Amazing! Johnny Depp has the most perfect teeth and lips I've ever seen. And he was creeeeeeepy. I liked it. I still love the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka, but this was pretty cool.

Then we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It was 9:30ish and there was still a wait. The appetizers were good, but my meal sucked. Shawn's right. You just can't get good avacados on the east coast. The ones in CA are so creamy. I ended up taking cheesecake home. Wasn't up to eating it, but didn't want to pass it up. It'll be a good distraction tomorrow after I do a little text book reading (bleh). I hate ethics. I can't believe I'm supposedly learning about ethics from an ambulance chasing lawyer. It's just so wrong.

I got my Prius this week. I love it love it love it. It's really fun to drive and I'm amazed by all the little things on it. Some things (like the push button start and park) took some getting used to. But I'm really enjoying it.

That's about all. Work this week was a little crazy and full of drama. I'm looking forward to a day and a half off this week...and the Pixies concert. I can't wait for the damn Pixies concert. It's at the HOB in AC. I looked at pictures online and it looks so cool. Class will also be over. Just one more class and my test. Can't wait.

Here's to a good upcomping week!

Shouldn't You Be In Bed?

Why yes. Yes I should be, but

A. I just finished cleaning my house. Heather and Dani are going to visit and stay here on Friday night. I'm still going to feel like a big ol' loser on Saturday night with no real plans. Really I should study, but I'll probably go out.

B. G Love AND Perry Farrell were just on the Jimmy Kimmel show. They performed Pets together. I'm going to have to download this. It was really cool. I love G Love. *swoon* He is so hot.

Not So Hershey Park Happy

Today we had our company outing at Hershey. It rained and they basically closed everything down at 2 pm. We only got there at 12. The only thing we really got to ride was the bumper cars and they suck compared to the ones at Knobel's Grove. Then we went to the zoo, but it was pouring so we really only looked at the indoor exhibit which consists of some aligators, turtles and snakes. We had lunch with my coworkers and that was kinda fun. We decided we were going to leave and hit the carousel on the way out. Then we noticed the Comet was running and stood in line for 20 minutes only to have it close down again. Then we left.

The other thing that kinda sucked is that tomorrow Davy Jones from the Monkees is playing in the park. So that's what it's come down to, eh? I would have liked to see it though, even if I've always been a Mickey girl.

We also went to Chocolate World before going to the park. Paul didn't want to, but I always feel like I have to whenever I go there. As we were walking out, we were stopped by a woman from their marketing department. She asked if we would like to participate in a taste test. "Are you from Heaven?" I asked.

The taste test was interesting. They gave us three Miniature sized bars. We were told that two were the same and one was different. We had to answer which we thought was the different one and whether or not we preferred it. Paul and I both had different opinions as to which was the different one. And we'll never know which one of us was right. There were other people in the room and the lady couldn't tell us. She just gave us some more candy and sent us on our way.

Another Ticket Shopping Saturday

I got Pixies tickets! They're at the House of Blues the Wednesady night before my final. Eh, fuck it. I want to go. And the final is open book/open note anyway. Sometimes when I'm sleep deprived I think a little better.

And Ticketmaster can still bite me.

Happy Bastille Day!

Eh, why not?

Paul sent me a basket of daisies today. I was totally surprised. I didn't expect that. And they smell wonderful!!!

Tori, How You Disappoint Me

I finally bothered to get Tori Amos' Beekeeper CD. Blah. It's really long. And it's all starting to sound alike to me...and very similar to Scarlet's Walk.

A not so wise man once asked me, "Why can't we go back to a simpler time?"

Maybe I'll just have to listen to this a few more times, but I'm longing for the Little Earthquake days. That CD has character.

I have to say that I really like the pictures and art in the special edition. I don't know what is different in the regular issue.

Still looking forward to seeing her next month though...and having some time when school is over to read her book.

Where I really was tonight

I hope you all don't think less of me for what I'm about to tell you.

Tonight, I finally went to see Revenge of the Sith...for the first time. And I honestly thought I was the last person in America to see it, but I was wrong. The theater was pretty full. And with the exception of one guy who looked like he was there every night to see it since it opened, I believe others were Sith virgins too.

I really hope you nerds don't disown me for taking so long. I liked it and the time really flew. Although I hated knowing the outcome of everything. It was a little anticlimactic and some parts dragged a little because of this ("Okay okay. I know you both survive this little battle...get on with it..."). And I still wince and yell "Noooo!" any time Yoda falls or appears hurt. Please tell me that puts me back in your dorky good graces.

I came home from the movie and realized that I have a new pet. I found this when I came home for lunch today.



It won't leave. I put Shmuffin out on the porch to try to scare it away. It didn't move. I yelled at it, flipped it the bird (ha! get it?) and nothing. It just looks at me. I guess it has eggs up there. I don't want to hurt it, so I guess I'll just have to leave it alone for now. I'll take it down when it is evident that she's done. And yes, she is still here 13 hours later.

We named her Spike.
