baby watch 2005/cake

My sister, Crystal, has been on bed rest for the last week. They had originally scheduled her to go in and have her baby on May 25th, but they'll probably have to take her in during the next week or two. What is she worried about? Whether or not somebody will tape 24 for her.

I need to make a cake tomorrow for my Mom's birthday and I think it will be the best one ever. I actually have something planned in my head before I start! I have to go to the store and get a few things. Cocoa, milk and peppermint extract. I should check to see if I need some powdered sugar.

Fascinating stuff, eh?

a couple of things i need to get off my chest

If you need to put up a giant disclaimer on your webpage that says, "WE ARE A COMEDY SITE" maybe, just maybe, you need to rethink how funny your comedy is. If you really have a sense of humor, you don't need to explain it to anyone. It goes without saying.

I don't care about the intimate personal lives of people that I don't know. This goes for knowing the gossip about Brad Pitt or the ill-fated young lovebirds on the bbs. I tell you this, I tell you I don't know and it's none of my business... but you keep going on and on. Do I know you? No! I don't know anyone involved.

no crazy searches

Phew! The month is halfway over and I haven't had any visitors from Verne Troyer searches. That makes me very happy. I did notice a sort of spammy trick in the searches though- people, or robots, go to a search engine and look for a certain string of words that will show what sites have a certain kind of guestbook and then they'll go in and put up links to their porn/med/gambling sites. HAHA! I took down my guestbook last week!

maybe it's for the best

The other day I realized the first email account that I ever signed up for- at hotmail- was being used for "spoofing". No wonder whenever I checked it I had 1000 new "returned mail" messages! I haven't really used that address for a few years, but I check it every so often just to see if it's still there.

I know spoofers don't need your password to use your address but I decided to change it anyway. The problem is... I have no idea what I changed it to. I can't ask for the password to be reset because I can't remember where I said I lived when I signed up to begin with. It's a good thing I don't get real email at that address.

personality quiz time

I only think it's a conspiracy that I couldn't figure out what I was until I pasted the code onto the page. :

"You are Lisa Simpson"

"The Artist
You love freedom and want to follow your heart's desires. You might not be at your best when dealing with other people. Once you are given the opportunity to work your chosen way, your gift will shine. A tip for you is not to concentrate too much on your own work, but widen your focus and consider the opinions of other people."

"The Animal Test
Here is the analysis:

A kind of person you will be attracted to in a real life situation is those who are unbridled and free
In the process of courtship, the approach that makes you feel irresistible is being creative, so you're not bored.
The impression you'd like to give to your lover is stylish.
One reason that would make you break up with your partner is his or her being emotional. If they're moody, you won't know how to please them.
The kind of relationship you'd like to build with your partner is that you care not only about the present but also the future with your partner. A long-lasting relationship that you can grow with is important.
Would you commit adultery? Society and morality worry you. You wouldn't do anything wrong after marriage.
About marriage, you are afraid of marriage. You think it would take away your freedom.
About love, at this moment, you always thirst for love. You will do anything for it, but you don't fall in love easily."

nap time/introspection

So, I made a coffee cake and took a nap. I had a crazy dream and explained it to a friend in a private message. That was kind of dumb... to just write to someone and give an unsolicited detailed description of some bizarre dream. That guy probably thinks I am a kook!

I am kooky though, I guess. I don't know how other people see me, or if they see me. I'm sure their visions of me are much different than the one I have of myself.

i don't know what i am doing

I need to do something productive with my time. I've had the last few days off and I think I have all of next week off as well.

Maybe I should write. Or learn how to knit. Maybe I should make a cake. Or go back to bed.

broken window mystery

When we got home last night we were talking about what a great day it had been. Mom went to the park with the kids and had a swell time. Then She won $100 on a lottery ticket on the way to Fantomas. Did I already sort of say how great it was? Did I say how much I love Trevor Dunn? :oops:

Anywho, we're talking for a while, Crystal is saying that she had to get up and sit with the dogs because they had been going nuts for the last 45 minutes. And then we hear glass falling, not breaking, falling into the house... what was that? Jamie looks over at the window and there is blood on the blinds!

We lift the blinds and one of the panes in the window was broken. The glass was going both ways... quite a mystery. Carlos, the giant chihuahua, has blood on his paw from a fresh cut and Jamie got a cut from checking everything out. My theory was that a bird flew into the window (the bird poop was a clue) and cracked it. (A robber would have busted the window in the door, right?) Carlos barked like crazy, Crystal came down stairs and held the dog. When we pulled up he ran to the window and pulled down the blinds like he usually does... and he got cut. Poor little guy.

fantomas/new bbs

I went to the Fantomas/the Locust/Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant show last night... what a great time. I'd go into detail about how fantastic it all was but I'd probably start rambling and wind up all girly and sqeauly and drooly. :D A lot of people were taking pictures. People who take pictures are funny.

The bbs that I usually go to (bungle fever) is down. I've tried going to some of the other boards that some of the BF members also go to, but nobody has been around. I really feel like talking about nothing, so I've put up a new board here on my space. I don't have a name or a theme for it yet. It's very, very generic right now. Sign up and talk to me. I am sooo lonely. :(

dream journal

I had a dream that I was staying with my grandparents. I don’t know who they were. Anyway, just as I was about to go to Wal-Mart with my pocket full of cash, an old community college boyfriend came to pick me up for a date. He seemed loud and obnoxious now. So, I picked out an outfit and I was ready to go but then my sister came in and gave me a bulky sweatshirt with a hood that my mom wanted me to wear. Then the dream turned into a poker game with classic television stars.

When I woke up I wondered what ever became of that boy I used to go out with. "Maybe I should google him", I thought.

Then I thought, "No. I would only find out that he was trampled in a tortoise stampede in 1997. And that would be kind of a bummer."

what the h-e-double hockey sticks?

Or, as my niece would say, "H-E-B-every-hockey sticks"

I'm a compulsive writer, sometimes I write things and I don't look back. A few of these things make it onto this site of mine. According to my web stats, someone just asked jeeves a science question and the poor person was directed to an old "story" I wrote a couple of years ago called Frogs and June Bugs.

It's hard for me to believe that I am not on drugs after reading that one!

spring forward

I don't think I'm liking this whole Daylight Savings Time this year. I'm too tired, and I don't know what time it is. I don't know what day it is! I don't know what in the heck is going on. I'm about to start venting here. Please stop me.

This is hardly the place for me to bellyache about how I wish that people would just ask me when they need me to do something for them- or at least give me a little bit of notice before they tell me what to do. I don't mind being a doormat as long as I can see the feet coming toward me.

Stop me before I start complaining. ;)

like an angry old lady with hedge clippers

I've switched over this whole weblog thing to a different blogging tool. The archives were just too funky at the last one.

I've republished a lot of the posts from before, but I did do some crazy pruning on things that were even less important than what's up now.

weblog spam

I've put up a page dedicated to all of the spam comments that I've received since putting up this weblog. It's called Weblog Spam. (Catchy title, eh?) All the bizarre comments, none of the links to online poker sites!
