Part deux... because it's cold

As previously mentioned, I hate the winter. Why? Because of the snow that inevitably gets inside my shoes. I really hate that, in part, because I tend to wear weather inappropriate shoes... like my rocketdogs, which are a glorified pair of socks. Whatever, they were $5. Anyways, its Christmas Eve and what do I have to show for it? 14 hours at the nursing home tomorrow... unless I can con some sucker into taking my night shift so I'm not a zombie for work the next morning. It's highly unlikely though. Oh, that reminds me, I have to still wrap Aunt Jill's present... shit. If you're reading this, lemme know if you have any idea when we're getting together for Christmas... because I have no idea but I'm at work all day tomorrow. I've gotten a few presents already, including a bag, some lip balm and a sudoku book from cat, some $$ from the parents & Unka... and some stuff from Auntie M.

On to the real reason why I blogged today. Cat showed me a movie that everyone in the world needs to see. It is important to your life. It's called zeitgeist. It pretty much says that the government and the churches are corrupt. And also, I've officially changed my support from Barack Obama, who seems good, to Ron Paul, who is a Republican (gasp). Yeah I know, I'm the most liberal person most of you know, but he is against the "War on Terror" and wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve. Both good enough things to win my vote. If you didn't know, the Federal Reserve has nothing to do with the Federal Government, it's a privately owned banking system that is behind the national debt and is trying to get the US to have a joint currency with Canada and Mexico (bad). Ever hear of the European Union? That's what they're trying to do here, but instead, call it the North American Union. And our supposed currency? The Amero. How original. Anyways, I say neg to all of this. So get informed and go watch the movie. It's free to watch and all you have to do is go to the website and you can watch it there. And no, its not the most visually pleasing thing out there, but the information is interesting as hell.

Okay, enough of my rant.

Sometimes...

... you just need to whip out the popcorn pan, make some delicious popped corn & pink lemonade and watch either Fried Green Tomatoes or The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood with the mumma.

Jesus camp?

So I watched a documentary last night. It was called Jesus Camp. Wow. As a non-religious person, it scared the hell out of me. I don't want to be offensive, but some people are a little overzealous and inappropriate with their religion. There. I said it.

On a lighter note, my computer is a p.o.s. About 8 of the keys don't work anymore or work once in a great while, then go back to not working. It's pretty sweet when your arrow keys don't work and you're typing, so you have to depend on the mouse for everything in your life. Lame.

I'm still obsessed with ruckus. I've downloaded a bunch of stuff from there. Apparently you can buy a subscription (also cheap) that lets you load unlimited music onto your mp3 player, given it's not an apple, seeing as how they don't let anyone do anything unless its through iTunes. Lame. In other news, I stuck a battery in my defunct mp3 player that I dropped into a puddle approximately a month ago and now it seems to work. Which kind of pisses me off because that means I didn't have to buy an ipod. I do love my shuffle though...

I cannot WAIT to come home. The countdown is on the post below this one, so if you're feeling bored, go look for it :).

A long day...

Today seemed like the never-ending day. First, I woke up around 9:30 to go see a movie with Cat @ 10:40. We saw The Holiday, which I really liked, it was cute. Then we had to run back to my house so she could pick up the DVDs that I burned for her. While home, I realized that Ollie tried to eat our Christmas Tree. That little bitch, she broke the Christmas pickle. Then I took Ollie with me to drop Cat off @ home. Quite soon after that, Scott called, as today was his lesson on how to drive stick. He did pretty well, there were only one or two white knuckle moments. Then I went right to Panera to meet Andy for an early dinner. Good times. Then I came home, put on pajamas and look at me now, I'm in bed and it's only 6:30... Lame. But I feel like absolute crap, so that is a contributing factor, as well as the fact that I have to work in the morning.

Goodnight.

I love Little Britain...

Sooooo work today was alright, nothing special, just your friendly groping... I got pinched in the butt by a resident today... funny thing is, she's not one of the crazies. Whatev. Anyways, I found out that one of the guys I work with is dating Megan Leech. Love it. I've decided that I like working with the people that I worked with tonight, it was good fun, it was Scott, Rachelle, Dana & Dan. Oh oh oh and Courtney got engaged, I'm so happy for her! Her ring is amazing.

Going to see The Holiday tomorrow morning with Cat. You wonder why I'm going in the morning? It's a four dollar show. Sad thing is, that's now cheaper than it is to go and rent a video from Blockbuster. Lame. Okay, I'm going to bed so I can wake up by nine-thirty.

Don't push me because I am close to the edge...

Currently listening to: Defying Gravity by The Wicked Cast

So I just got back from the theater, Scott & I went to see Happy Feet. Cutest damn movie ever. End of story. It seemed like a lot of the really funny stuff went right over the little kids' heads, but it was damn funny. Kinda felt like a dork laughing like an idiot when the little kids are just kind of staring in amazement. Granted you should never put Scott & I together & expect us to behave like normal human beings. Oh, and we saw this lady that we used to work with, Sue, who was a crazy bitch. Anyways, she got fired for "accidentally" leaving a resident outside it the blistering heat for about three hours. Classy lady. I love how the end of the movie has a slightly political tone to it, way to influence the elementary kids.

I want a penguin. A dancing penguin. STAT. Not gonna lie, I think Mumble is the gay penguin. He's so cute, dancing his little heart out. But seriously, he says "Don't ask me to change, because I can't." Just a little gay, no? And the elder penguins are kind of like a religious cult... hmmm...

On to better things. I got my camera today, now I just have the task of figuring out how to use it. That's where my brother comes in handy. I'm going to work tomorrow morning, then I'm rolling out the truffles for Jason & Becky's party while washing my uniform, then I have to stop by Best Buy and pick up a DV tape (no idea what that is, by the way) and maybe a second battery for la camera. Then I'm off to Jason & Becky's... quickly followed by work in the morning. At six-fifteen. Kill me now. I'm pretty sure that I won't be functioning by the time I get to work, but whatev. I'll figure it out.
