Full moon can spin one's head

Full moon was the 25th but all kinds of strange things happened to me from Monday the 27th on.

Just a friend opened up that he digs me. Too bad he didn't say something earlier. Ah well.

On the other side of the coin, guy I thought was cute is now "free". I guess he's starting the new year as a single instead of being part of a duet. Sometimes it's good to go out on an off night.

Another dude mentioned he was slightly interested but I'm not so sure that one will get much attention from me. I guess some months ago he couldn't remember to call back or completely lost the number. So I don't have the time to respond to pats on the ass. When guys don't call back it's so annoying. Usually I'm pretty relaxed about it but don't "contact" me some months later and expect me to drop everything to be with you. Ugh!

I'll just be happy if neighbor ick leaves me alone for more than two days/nights. And folks wonder why I don't try to get to know my neighbors. It's more peaceful without them knocking on the door during my much needed nap time.

Oh my I'm whining quite a bit.
Anywho, question is: Favorite TV series of late? Mine: Lost. That Dominic Monaghan is just really great as Charlie. Matthew Fox isn't doing too bad either.

Stupid emailers

I love people that email me thinking they know me when they have the completely the wrong person. And to think that I have kids!

Anybody know the dumbass below?

Hey dumbass. If you know me then you know I don't have children. I have two cats.
Maybe you should go to OZ and get a brain you stupid bitch.

The latest and greatest news

Here's the latest and greatest going on, on my planet.

Well Friday night and Saturday morning left most of Southern Milwaukee dead in it's tracks. 12 inches blanketed the area with drifting increasing the number. Most places closed just so people could stay home and take it easy/slow at digging themselves out.

I wish it had happened Thursday night so I could have stayed home Friday. I still had to be up early since the plow came here around 9am. Again I had to push my car out since the mgr here didn't plow the last time there was asmall snow falling. Yeah you guessed it. I was not happy. It's not that hard - snow falls, call the plow guy or salt the hell out of the parking lot. I think that's pretty easy, don't you?

Anywho, after pushing the car out and waiting about an hour for the plow to finish I just parked myself infront of the TV and enjoyed movies all day. Couldn't tell ya what I all watched but I do know Angus Macfayden is hot. Commercials of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood show him. Folks might remember him from Braveheart - Robert the Bruce. I was able to catch up on a little reading and tentatively do my taxes.

Best part, The Rundown being shown on HBO last night. God that Rock is another hottie. I had forgotten parts of that movie - rebel swinging from tree that cracks him pretty good sending him to the forest floor in one punch. Also love his lines of giving folks two choices and saying he didn't want to hurt the team since they have a decent chance that year. Rosario Dawson is a very pretty lady as well in the movie. She's also pretty great in Alexander and Sidewalks of New York. She should be awesome in Rent when it comes out.

Oh here's a site to check and maybe get a little something for your Valentine. You can also help out a few causes as well, like AIDS or Breast Cancer Awareness.

Here are some other Feb dates to remember - Feb 5th, Feb 8th and Chicago Museum event, Feb 11th, Feb 17th, Feb 18th, Feb 23rd - movie at the Charles Allis Museum.

Question: What site (picture or event) takes your breath away? Keep it clean.

Salt 'N Pepper - no this is not the music group but a movie title. I might just pick this little ditty up since it's a two dvd set.

This is for all those guys out there. It wasn't a bad movie but it wasn't something I completely dug either. I think Pulp Fiction falls into that category as well. :)

Couple more guy movie releases. Bull and Scorsese set. Wow. Feb is loaded with movie releases on DVD and movies opening in theaters.

Don't forget to get your tickets for this fun deal.

Here's the Question: Do you have projects on the side that no friends or family know about but you someday hope for serious recognition?

OK OK, here's a travel story

Here's a traveling story. You might not like it but here it is nonetheless.

Three chicks - me, neurotic apple shape, and a one that is overworked with no break in two weeks.

The people: neurotic could not sit in the back. Overworked needs a nap and will sleep most of the ride down. Me driving, not knowing where the heck I'm going.

The place: House of Blues in Chicago

When: Tuesday in December

What: Kevin Spacey singing Bobby Darin - promoting Beyond the Sea.

The trip: overworked girl didn't remember to carry ID to get into the club, so we have to argue about having the id or drop her off for the night. Neurotic and I were like, let's get the id and get moving. Overworked was like just drop me off cause it's obvious I need to rest.

So the drive of 1/2 hr to Sherwood happened with the two of them kinda arguing about this drive and how much she needs to get out. I was like do we need to argue about this since I'm driving there; "make sure you have the keys before I get ticked about being late."

Drive there was pretty uneventful. We did see the traffic heading into downtown.
"Figure an alternative route otherwise we are not going."
Good thing Lake Drive was an alternate route. One I know well from capital drive. So I dropped off overworked, went up the road to get more gas, turn around and pickup overworked.

Once on the road to Chitown there were not many issues. Overworked stated when she needed to be wakened to get the paint on. Neurotic and I just chatted away a variety of issues. Mostly girly issues.

Once at House we had issues trying to find a decent spot to park ourselves to hear and see it well. Figured hanging by the steps near the reserved was as good as it gets. Security guard was pretty cool. Telling folks it was the reserved and to just find another spot to watch the concert.

This was my first time here. We had a lot of first with the three of us - doing the Ipass (first for all of us), someone else driving was a first for the neurotic, and first for overworked was someone else giving directions. Small firsts but firsts nonetheless.

Spacey was fun to watch and hear that he can actually carry a tune. I guess most can with enough personally training. He was kinda fun to watch on the stage. I would do it again but then again I can on the silver screen when I get a chance.

Drive back was pretty cool as well. The three of us were very awake and really didn't want to leave Chicago. We did only due to work the next day. Christmas decorations on buildings and porches in the area were really beautiful. Enough to talk about coming down another day soon to enjoy the town; hence Titanic exhibit.

How that smarty folks that think I need to report travel experiences. :p=

Winter whiteout

For those that wished for snow, you got it and then some. Granted I don't like cold, hate it really, but it does make the landscape serene. Too bad the cold has to come with it. So for anyone that has to drive pretty far to work, drive careful and slow. Accidents galore today but watch for the weather to change by next week.

Now it's time to complain. Anyone else tired of hearing about the relief for the Tsunami victims? I mean I'm all for giving money or whatever is needed for the victims and realize the entire world has to give and help BUT to hear about it daily is starting to get on my nerves. We all realize/know that there is fraud and don't want to be taken advantage of or have the money not go to the victims. Well that's my complaint anyway.

One thing about getting up early is one can make a huge meal for scrumptious eating later on. Finally got the energy and time to make a tator tot casserole. yumyum!

Question since it's been awhile: Plan on making resolutions for the new year? How many of those will you actually complete? How many from last year did you complete?

A biento!

Good thing I got the I-pass to hit chitown next month.

Ways to help the Tsunami folks

There is a WI company that is sending water purification tablets to the affected areas. Click here to order some to be sent there. It's also tax deductible, I think so you can get a start on your tax deductions early.

Of course there is the Red Cross. They even have different denominations for you to select. Makes it easier to donate.

Unicef is also taking donations for the victims/survivor. Go here to see if your company is doing a gift match.

AmeriCares is taking donations. I've not heard of them before but there are always local and worldwide places that are low key until now.

Well I think we all should do what we can to help out from here.

Other sad news, Jerry Orbach of Law & Order fame died before the New Year. I know he was working on the new Law& Order spin off, Law & Order: Trial by Jury. It should have been another success with Lennie Briscoe at the helm of it all.

May your New Year be filled with peace, fun and much happiness.
