Time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight And we sleep all, sleep all day...

I love mornings like this. I don't have to get up (though I really should) and I can just lie here and be warm. The pups are at my feet, my toes are especially cozy, and the blankets just feel deliciously heavy. But in reality its the only time I have to do my laundry and errands and what not. So I ought to get up.

I will in a bit.

The week just breezed by didn't it? Monday night I went to a STEP II class thinking I could get by seeing that I've gone to a STEP I class before. Sure, I took the class 3 years but that didn't really register in my mind before I made my schedule. It totally registered when I was dead tired and confused during their "around the world straddle, cross over, turn and squat" routine. See, even typing it down is making me dizzy.

Brr.. my fingers are cold. And my tummy is grumbling.

During a meeting on Wednesday, my stomach started growling. Then the girl's next to me started growling too. But it was like SUPER LOUD. I felt a bit better.

OK. Its grumbling hardcore. I should go get some breakfast.

Peace out bed!

PLEH

The other day, I lost my keys at the gym. I had only used 3 machines when I realized my keys were missing, so I ran back to each location and looked around. Nothing. Then I ran back to each machine and looked thoroughly just in case I had missed something the first time. Still nothing. So then I went to the front desk and asked if anyone had seen or returned keys... the girl was really nice and stated that no one had brought anything by but will keep on the look out. She then asked what was on my keys specifically so she would know.

I replied "Hmm, there's a silver heart key chain on it, my gym id, my house keys... oh and my car keys too."
"OH NO! YOUR CAR KEYS!?!"
"Yeah... I'll keep on looking so hopefully I'll find it."
"I hope so too!! Losing your car keys is soooo BAD!!!"

I didn't freak out initially when I lost my keys, but OH F*CK. The girl managed to scare me and make me think the worse. Now I was thinking that someone had found my keys, started playing with them in the parking lot and *beep* lo and behold... NEW CAR! With a cellphone! And a very eclectic mix of cds. A SWEET JACKPOT FOR A KEY STEALING JERKOFF!!

So I made another round upstairs and downstairs. Still nothing. And then I ran around again. Then I realized that I had thrown my water bottle away... so then I started digging through the trash. Sweating gym paper towers and water bottle trash.... EW. Nothing though.

Luckily about 30 minutes later, just as I was about to call someone for a ride and double check that my car was still in the lot, the friendly girl at the desk dangled my keys in front of me. "The person who found it just finished their workout! Isn't that exciting!?"

Oodles. :P

Take the gun. Leave the cannoli.

Its an evening in. :D Originally we were watching "When Harry Met Sally", but someone (not me) purchased a somewhat bootleg version of "American Gangster" honestly, well... I'm zoning out. Once again, I'm not much of a serious type of movie girl. I like light hearted, silly, romantic comedies... usually ones that don't get the greatest reviews. In fact, I the only lines I can quote from "The Godfather" are actually in "You Got Mail." Seriously. Every so often there will be something "heavy" or "sci-fi-ish" that piques my interests.... but if given a choice, I'll take Amanda Bynes as a crossing dressing soccer player over Al Pachino with a gun. (Yes... I know its a different movie but you know what I mean.)

Well except I'm not really feeling 27 Dresses which you would think I would want to see because 1) its a romantic comedy 2) James Marsden is a hottie who can sing and this time he's gonna get the girl! 3) Its all about weddings weddings weddings galore which there seems to be a lot of in my life at the moment. But deep inside I'm not feeling Katherine Heigl because I see her as Izzy Stevens... the stupid doctor who cut Denny Duequett's LVAD wire and slept with George while he was still mrried to Callie. Selfish bitch huh. Why would I cheer her on to get with dreamy James Marsden!? Exactly. Eh. We'll see....

You can't stop the beat.... wait a sec.

First things first... ABC is bringing back THE MOLE! Not this one (although this little bugger is a tad bit creepy AND cute at the same time) but the 2001 super kick ass reality show with Anderson Cooper! Yaaaaaay! Well except without Anderson Cooper... but with someone Anderson Cooperish? We'll see. All in all, this past holiday while cooking for 2 days straight,FOX REALITY had a marathon of the second season. It was as if Santa read my diary! And I thought to myself "Aww... how I miss this show! Remember when Katherine was the Mole? Or how during the celebrity version when they had Corbin Bersen and Steven Baldwin... both seasons!?" Oh... it was wonderful! And its coming back!!! YAY!

The other night, we went to watch Sweeney Todd and while I can't say it I loved it... it found it different from the usual type of movie musical that I typically enjoy. Like where were the big dance numbers!?! Bright costumes!?! OVERALL YUMMY HAPPYINESS?! Plus all during the movie I kept on thinking-

"Its that Jerkface Peter Petigrew... he's gonna turn into a rat soon!",
"This sailor guy looks like Clare Danes!",
"Borats pants are waaaaay to tight."
"This b*tch behind me needs to STOP singing a long."
"Johnny Depp's face is flawless! Er, I can feel a pimple on my chin!!"

Its weird. I like Johnny Depp. I like musicals. But it was a little to gory for my tasting. Well super gory. Ridiciously gory. It was good though. Just different. ;)

Chug a hug!

I'm not much of a drinker (seriously), but in honor of the brand spankin new American Gladiators, I'd like to propose a drinking game-

Take a shot/drink
-Every time contestant makes a reference to their present day job in relevance to the task at hand. (i.e. "I finished medical school... I can finish this!"
-When a contestant makes a reference to reaching their dream, a wish coming true, or any sort of achievement cliche.
-For every camera shot of a homemade sign in the audience. Take an extra one if there's a witty pun that somehow incorporates a Gladiator's name.
-Every time Wolf howls.
-Every time the camera gets a shot of a contenders baby.
-Every time you see Hellga and think "That skirt does NOTHING for her thighs."
-Every time you see a Gladiator falls into water.
-Every time a contestant bad mouths a Gladiator. Double that if that Gladiator gets angry and the contender looses the event.
-Every time a Gladiator growls. Double that if the Gladiator is a girl
-Every time a contender looses but is still HAPPY to be there.

Also, though very unlikely...
5 shots for every contestant who finishes the eliminator without any setbacks (i.e. falling off the hand bike, sliding off the treadmill, hitting head on underwater fire piping, etc...)

Any other suggestions? At this rate, you'd be shitfaced by the second event. :P

Gladiators ready!?!

Are you ready... for a TICKLE FIGHT!?!

So I'm watching the new AMERICAN GLADIATORS and while I was little sad that we couldn't get into the taping when it happened, I'm actually super bummed right now because of the cheesiness of the entire thing. I'm already 19 minutes into the show and I've managed to actually LAUGH OUT LOUD probably about 5 times. Did you know they have a girl gladiator named HELGA?! Seriously!? I dare not to make fun of her mainly because she IS a Gladiator... but with a name like Helga, she was destined to be a big, tough, burly girl who can kick ass. And how.


OH. And they have a Gladiator named Wolf. He's hairy. He howls. Surprise surprise. Breaking those stereotypes right??

*UPDATE* WHAT THE F*CK was up with the Elimator!?! I think that one chick that lost just died. They should use one of the obstacle courses from NINJA WARRIOR. That would rock. Hardcore.

Maybe the Sun will shine today....

I've said it once and I'll say it again... I love the rain.

I love driving in the rain. Breaking out the umbrella and walking in the rain. Sleeping in during the rain. I love how the ground just glistens and the whole world is shiny. I love the fact that whether I'm toasty in the car or outside in the cold, my cheeks stay rosy. And despite being somewhat clumsy and slipping off of sidewalks and falling ass deep into puddles, I love the fact that it has happened because in the end, although embarrassing, it makes a good story*.


*True story! First thought that came into my head as it happened was "My purse has my expensive and lovely camera! Must not let that fall or get wet!" Second thought was "Whoever is driving pass me right now is thinking 'What the f*ck happened to that girl.'" Finally, while sitting in the puddle corner completely soaked I realized that "This sucks. F*ck rain and f*ck these boots."

She thought the Dalai Lama was... a llama.

I must have watched MUSIC and LYRICS a dozen times this past week. In addition to having it recorded on my DVR, HBO keeps on showing it over and over again hence me walking around the house singing "POP GOES MY HEART." Its bright, catchy, and gosh darn it... the actual music video makes me smile. Now the song is stuck in my head.



Now it is my goal to get it stuck in yours. Enjoy!!
