Guess What!

Some of you may have already heard about this, but I had to make sure some folks knew about this already otherwise I get clocked for not telling them about important events. Like when I had my appendix out I failed to tell Dale about it for like two months. Apparently, she didn't approve of that. Something about caring if I'm in the hospital and dying or not. I don't know. She's so touchy about things like that.

And she has never let me forget it.

Ever.

So don't ever say that I never tell you lovely people anything. But I'm engaged! Jeff and I are running away to Las Vegas to get married on Halloween. Yay! I've been wanting to tell you for like a week now. So, celebrate with me asI freak out about getting a dress on time. (Another entry for another time. I promise.)

But we're engaged!

Television Heroes

Do you think that doctors who watch Gray's Anatomy or spies who watch Burn Notice or college professors who watch Geek look at the show and think to themselves, "yeah right. Like that would ever happen." I can see a seasoned FBI agent on his day off sitting on his couch cleaning off his TiVo watching Burn Notice. He sees Michael Weston taking apart a cell phone to add a bug and throw his Miller Lite at the TV, scratch his belly and say, "Bullshit. You'd never use a Samsung. Those phones are pieces of crap."

Or at least that's what the spy who lives in my head would say.

HP6

Holy nerd on a stick, Batman! I'm going to go see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince tonight! I'm so stoked! In fact, I win the biggest Harry Potter Nerd contest - you know, if there was a contest, because I'm going to see it twice.

TWICE.

I have a private screening with a big posh magazine this evening at 6. In fact, the big posh magazine is indeed one you've heard of which makes it way more awesome. And dude, that's like SIX FULL HOURS before the rest of the country sees it!

Then we're going again at midnight. MIDNIGHT I say! Mostly because the people in costume just crack my shit up. I love to sit behind entire Quidditch teams. And see little girls in shirts that say "Harry is my Homeboy." Or to see red haired guys in sweaters with giant "Rs" on the front with a cat toy mouse sewn onto his shoulder. Love. Love. LOVE. Being surrounded by my nerdy brethern.

Hooray for Harry! I will give you a full review in my sleepy coma tomorrow I'm sure.

Ohmygod, can we go now please? The waiting is killing me!!!

Erised

So, you know the Mirror of Erised in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone? The one where wizards get caught up in the enchantment and waste away the hours in front of it. Well, for me apparently that is the Harry Potter movies. ABC Family is running a marathon this weekend and I haven't done a damn thing today. Well, I took a nap, but I haven't left the couch. It's delightful, but I cannot make myself do anything else! Damn your Chris Columbus!

At least the movies are good. And I am going to see HP6 twice on Tuesday. (once at 6 and once at midnight) Jealous? You should be. Hehahahhehehaheh.

House Proud

I had today off and cleaned my apartment. Seriously. Like vacuumed and dusted clean. I think the dust bunnies were starting to demand to be fed the same time we feed Uno which is wrong on so many levels. But I love the place when it's clean. The floors, the shelves, the bathroom. Well, my bathroom. Jeff's bathroom is still the same as it was yesterday. Mostly because ew. Boys are generally gross. What is with that by the way? Why are boys gross? What is that all about. Anyhow, my house smells like watermelon instead of stale now. Hooray! I feel accomplished.

Don't Judge Me

This proves that I am exactly like my mother, as her kitchen is stocked for a nuclear holocaust. This photo also doesn't show the two nearly full 12-packs in the fridge. What? there was a sale! 5 for $12! That's a damn good sale. $12! For 60 cans of soda! That's like $0.20 each. A heckuva deal. What I failed to check was our current selection of beverages beforehand. Oops. Oh well.

Anyone else thirsty?

3-Day Weekend!

Happy Fourth of July! I would take pictures of my adventures this weekend, but both of my damn cameras are in the damn shop. (You think they could have timed this better.) But I have three glorious days off. To be fair, I had a three day weekend last week and will again next week too. I'm special like that.

What isn't so special (excuse the pity party here) is that I won't get to spend any of this time with Jeff. He's got three games over the next three days. That means he leaves early in the morning and gets back considerably after dark. And even later since the next three days they have fireworks.

So, I'm missing spending a lovely, long weekend, being lazy with Jeff. Awww. Sad. Go on. Give me your pouty face and collective "awwww....." Seriously.

But it should be a fun weekend nonetheless. Just me and a bunch of friends watching stuff blow up and eating hot dogs. Hooray! It would be more fun with Jeff, but we know how that goes. Lucky for me, I will get to see him on Sunday! Insert cheers! Go on. Cheer!

So, enjoy the Fourth in your way with your own family. And look to the sky and watch crap blow up!
