...let's see if I do any better than last night. Maybe I'll take Ambien, it's been a while since I crashed into any doorframes on my way to the bathroom. I'd say I'm due.
Hopefully you won't hear from me in the middle of the night, but you probably will...sighhh

And since I'm posting songs I really like...
my favorite version of my favorite Christmas song. It's my blog, i's Xmas if I say so. :)
Third one down, the Ronettes

SOTD 7/10/08: I Will, Beatles cover
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
Listeny part
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
Listeny part
I'm on vacation tomorrow...
...which explains why I fairly recently arrived home from work.
It does not explain:
--why it rains every time I decide to get the driveway sealcoated
--why I have to keep adjusting my office chair
--why Amy from Kennesaw doesn't want to go dancing with me
--why there's a missing knot on hw's ceiling
--or why Lincoln needs to sit next to me with one paw resting on my arm. Although it *is* pretty cute. For a psycho cat.
Anyway--before I left work, I made sure to fill up my candy dishes enough so that the slackers would stop by, but left them low enough so that they'd feel the need to get more candy. Then I locked the candy drawer.
Muhuhahahahaha

SOTD 7/9/08: Doctor My Eyes, Jackson Browne
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
Through the slow parade of tears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?
Listen
And an alternate version cause I'm a sucker for the Jackson 5

It's a caucasian thing, you wouldn't understand.
I'm really not a hot sauce fan. And it's not just that I don't like hot things (although that's sort of true too), I really just don't think it tastes good. Which, as wb informed me at lunch, is a "caucasian thing".
He--being non-caucasian himself--apparently is the expert on such matters.
However, you know what *is* a caucasian thing? Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. Uh *huh*

All right, I'm going to sleep.
Which is to say, I'm going to lie down in my bed (like a starfish) with the lights off. If you're bored at 130, txt me, odds are I'll be awake...it's what I do best.
Course, now I've got TV to watch whilst I lie in bed, which is cool. As was the cable guy...more on that later...
Course, now I've got TV to watch whilst I lie in bed, which is cool. As was the cable guy...more on that later...
And so it seems I may have new readers...
So welcome Tall Guy From Wisconsin, Guy With A View Of The Sears Tower, and Guy Whose Back Hurts (although *you* sir, I daresay, probably would be better distracted from your back pain if you would just try the teriyaki sauce in your eye). It's nice to see you here! I mean, it'd be better if you were Canadian (cause we all know how I feel about that), but still...
Anyone else I missed?
You'll find stuff's kind of haphazard here, I've not been sleeping very well lately (which means the SOTDs have gone walkabout) and work has been pretty time-consuming (so I've been coming home and going to sleep...although not very successfully, as I said above [see...above]). Sometimes my sass-mouth readers chastize me for not writing more regularly. Sometimes I listen to them. It's a give and take relationship.
So there you go. Random and inconsistent, that's how I roll. I figure if you put me in your collection of 157 other websites to check every day, you probably should only have to do, what, 2-3 hours of work each day, max?
I think that's fair.

Dear guy whose back hurts;
Hope you're feeling better! I'm glad you got a laugh--that's really what I'm here for--on earth, not just on the internet--to provide random entertainment for people who google random crap.
Random crap...it's my speciality ;)

SOTD 6/29/08: Kelly Clarkson, Miss Independent
Miss independent
Miss self-sufficient
Miss keep your distance, mmmm
Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man interfere, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She'll never, ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love
(Chorus)
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true
(Verse 2)
Misguided heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't wanna end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing a misconception
She went in a new direction
And found inside, she felt a connection
She fell in love
(Chorus)
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true (when love, is true)
(Bridge)
When miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
I'm so glad I've finally seen
(Chorus)
What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real

SOTD 6/25/08: Katy Perry, Hot n Cold
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you)You don't really want to stay, no
(but you)But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
I just got the cd and my brain is bathed in it!

Toothpaste
Yes it is possible to get it in your eyes without some sort of weird thing going on in your bathroom. And it hurrrrts!
Tea
I really like tea. A lot. A lot a lot. And not so much hot tea, although I do also like that, but really, sun tea. Terribly bitter, strong, black, unsweetened, room temperature tea. I know, someone who sleeps thru the night as well as I do (not) should probably avoid the caffeine, but I think there's more than just caffeine in it cause I can't live without it. (I also like to leave it sitting out so that it gets even more bitter and---disgustingly--warm. It's probably all the bacteria that make it taste increasingly bitter. Ew, I know.)
I was in Toronto several years ago, where one can only get horribly sweet tea. I couldn't wait to get back to the US of A so I could get me some miserable bitter McDonald's tea. Mmmmm
Like I've told people I know, I like my tea like I like...
...my Catholicism...dark, with a hint of punishment
...Ed Harris...a little aged, but still *very* tasty
...my ex-boyfriends...bitter and bottled up
...my lifeguards...brown and wet
...I had to delete this one, because it was too obnoxious. Funny though ;)
...This one too
So have a good night! If you're awake between 1 and 4, call me, I'll be here. Drinking my tea.

Word of the Day for Friday June 20th
Defenestrate.
Now, I speak myself a little French, and when I first looked at Friday's WOTD, I thought, huh. Interesting, fenestre means window, I wonder what defenestrate means.
Well, it means to throw (someone) out of the window!! There's a world in the English language whose sole purpose is to describe what happens when you throw the object of your least affection (for me, Wayne) out of the nearest portal.
Like I told some of mes amis already, I really wanted to try out my new word on Friday (grrrrr), however, I managed to restrain myself. Now, if you find you're not able to resist your own defenestration urges (and we all know how powerful they are), SEND ME PICTURES!
I will soooo post them :)

SOTD 6/23/08: Katy Perry, Ur So Gay
You’re so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You’re so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you’re so amused

Not an SOTD, but
I've been looking for this version!
Maxamillion
Marvin Gaye had it right when it comes to you-know-what, I suppose, but this one really surpasses when it comes to the time-honored art of booty-shaking. Which, by the way, I am trying to arrange.
Who wants to go dancing?!? You're even welcome, Kennesaw, if you want to make the drive, but I can't promise much...(it is the suburbs after all....)

Center of attention ('tention)
Even when they're up against the wall
You got me in a crazy position (Yeah)
If you're on a mission (Uh-huh)
You got my permission (Oh)
We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin' (Keep on rockin')
We'll keep on rockin', rockin' (Uh-uh)
Cameras are flashing while we're dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (Wait)
Keep watchin
(Feel's like the crowd is saying)

SOTD 6/17/08: West End Girls, Pet Shop Boys
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

I have weird dreams.
Really weird ones. Disconnected, nonsensical dreams. I've been told it's a good thing I never did drugs, my dreams being what they are, who knows if I'd have recovered...
Last night's dream
Rob and Juan, from HCX, and I are driving around all night looking for a Texaco station.
Then, when dawn breaks, Juan brings me back and drops me off at my house. It's a white Colonial. There is a row of green planters in front of the living room windows, but one of them has fallen to pieces. Wedged in between 2 other planters, in its place, is one of those green Rubbermaid totes.
In front of the row of planters is a row of rocks, covered with moss. Two of the rocks don't really have moss on them though, they're just spray-painted green.
And then I woke up.

I went back to search how long ago...
...it was that the Llama Song showed up in my subconscious. Monday Oct 9, 2006!
So, one one hand, I feel a little better that5 I'm not boring you all to death with repear SOTD. On the other hand, my subconscious has been chewing on llama llama cheesecake llama for 1.5 years.
That's not right.

Whoa Hey!
Just realized (or, realised, if you speak Canadian) that my Me and the Moon SOTD post contained a link that was considerably more off color than the one I intended. I'm not saying the one I did intend is all that classy either, I'm just saying that here at mairzydoats, I want you to get exactly the right level of lowbrow humor that I'm looking for.
Not too much, not too little.
Not too much, not too little.
SOTD 6/15/08 (Llama llama cheesecake llama)
It's the Llama song again. I know...horrible...I don't know what's wrong with my sleeping brain
My niecebaby turned 2 yesterday!
Oh, I can't believe she's 2! She's so wonderful :)
Like I was telling hw the other day, it wasn't until she was born that I truly felt that "I'd risk my life for hers" feeling. And she's not even my kid!
I love her :)
Happy Birthday CLA!

A' quarter to three, we're feeling fine
when the sun comes up I'm gonna miss my friend moonshine.
Don't have audio for this one, but here's a totally unrelated piece of Irish song. It's not high class, but it's funny (make sure the little pitchers aren't around.)

Movie Review: The Strangers
For the newbies, you might find some things below to be spoiler-ey. I try to put true spoilers in secret decoder mouse mode, but you never know. Caveat read-or.
Cute Persons to look at (0-5): 2
Yep, I'm gonna go with a 2. The lead chick is Liv Tyler, whom I think is quite attractive.
For the girls...the main guy squeeze is Scott Speedman. He's totally a fencesitter for me--I'm not really feeling him, but I know that if I were at a party and he turned out to be nice or smart or funny, I would probably fall deeply in like with him.
Plus he's Canadian (sigh). And we all know how I feel about that.
That's really it. Honestly, there are really only the 2 of them in the movie. There are a few creepy people and a best dude friend, but the above choices are pretty much it!
A Satisfying Ending (0-5): 1. Booooo. Seriously--like I've said a million times, I get enough uncertainty in my real life. I like my movies to be wrapped up nicely at the end with a big giant bow on top.
Maybe there'll be a sequel, but I just don't care. Grrrr. Not a bad ending, just not one that makes me happy. And, since it's an M-ocracy here, I get to make all the rules ;)
Action/adventureness (0-5): 3. Decent! Good action, good running around and stuff. I like.
Love storyness (0-5): 3. I'm going to give it a 3. You can see that the leads really do care for each other, which is really nice to see.
Good Scaryness (0-5): 3. Some pretty good scenes that made me jump and cover my eyes. The psych-out factor was pretty well done.
Kissing (0-5): 2. A 2 only because there wasn't enough of it. I like lots of kissing in my movies--lots and lots of it. There's a decent make out scene, although it was interruptus-ed, which is kind of a bummer. Still, all in all, good.
Cinematography/Special Effects (1-5): 3. Pretty good. Well shot, interesting camera angles, different things to look at, good creepy surprises.
Extra Credit: None that I can think of.
Total: 17/35. Worth seeing if you like scary movies. If it had had a big red bow on top, I think I would have really liked it. I was left with the "but..why..and what about?" at the end, which isn't my favorite, but all in all, it was pretty good.

He's new.

There, now you have to fend for yourself. And The Eh Team* is a pretty tough opponent, so....

SOTD 6/4/08: I Kissed a Girl (Katy Perry)
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl, just to try it
Hope my boyfriend don't mind it
Ears
It has a good beat, I can dance to it. I give it a 10!

More SOTD
Saturday's SOTD, btw, has been stuck in my head for a week. My subconscious has really sunk its teeth in on that one. Other good Daft Punk?
Around The World (last one on the page)
One More Time (4th one)
Something About Us (first one--I so dig this song!)

One More Time (4th one)
Something About Us (first one--I so dig this song!)
I think I'm done fooling around for the night, so
after changing a bunch of stuff (including editing actual html, at which I am a total novice), if I've made anything unreadable, just let me know and I'll fix it.
A lot of the fooling was to make links open in a new window, because I think it's annoying when they don't. However, you can always right-click and ask it to open in a new window if it's not working right.
And then tell me so I can fight with it some more.
For example, why can I make the music links pop open using target="a_blank", but other links (like Jeffrey Dean Morgan) cease to work at all if I use that (unless you right click)?
Canada? Any suggestions?

Until I remember how to delete comments,
you can pretty much guarantee that any "get rich quick" or "buy this awesome stereo from Brazil" comments are from spam bots or people with a lot of time on their hands, and, are totally not supported by me or my staff. (Which is also me.)
On to find out how to delete.

I've got a trip to the bodyshop in my future...
...to get the sharkbites looked at. It's really time, and what with summer coming, I don't my babycar to be uncomfortable with her swimsuit body and all.
Sharkbite #1 (http://mairzydoats.blogspot.com/2006/12/bp-carwash-took-bite-out-of-my-car.html#links) as you might remember, is long overdue for fixing.
Sharkbite #2 (above) is rather newer. See, when you take your car to the city, you risk it making the journey in one piece ;). She's tough though, the 4Runner, she took it in stride--the garage door popped that piece right off without causing too much other harm.
The sharkbit-er, less so. And I really am enjoying rubbing it in. A little. In the nicest possible way, of course.
;)
An update on HCZ
So, I've now worked for HCZ for just over a month and I still really like it. Still no free tampons, but all in all it's pretty good. Let me go over my initial list with some updates...
Better
-BETTER GDP!!! That is Good Documentation Practices, for those not in my industry. Oh so much better! GDP is still better. Needs work, but most of the problems are people who are unfamiliar with the rules, not resistant to them. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.*
-Free pop (although I don't drink it). Still don't drink the pop, but oh, the free iced tea. If i could just figure out how to run a line from the machine upstairs down to my cubby hole, I could have caffeine EVERYSINGLESECONDOFMYLIFE!!! Um, sorry, every single second. We'll leave it at that (caffeinecaffeinecaffeine).
-3 lunchrooms, for when you need a change of scenery. I've still only eaten in one of them.
-CINNAMON ROLL COFFEE!! Tastes just like the "toast coffee" from HCX...mmmmmm.... (caffeinecaffeinecaffeine)
-No automatic flush toilets (ie no more wet you know what...) I am having a hard time shaking the habit of planning one's exit from the stall (gathering yr self and yr stuff and getting out without getting wet). This may take some time....
-I sit next to Rob J, who is really funny! I got my welcome present of a laser pointer from him this morning and he said that he will be willing to chase the dot upon request. He also proactively asked me not to call HR on him, cause he's just kidding. About whatever things he may say in the future. He's still funny, and so are a bunch of the other folks I've met. Interestingly, I've gone from sitting next to one guy who listen to techno incessantly to ANOTHER GUY WHO LISTENS TO TECHNO INCESSANTLY. I think it might be some sort of penance. I'm not sure.
Worse
-Not as many people to talk to. This one's getting better. As anyone who knows me IRL can attest, I have never had a problem making friends with strangers...and have continued that habit.
-Not as many cute boys to look at. A few, yes, but alas, still true. Sigh.
-Lunch is super boring. Sitting in a 2nd floor lunchroom with a bunch of chicks. Borrring. (However, my 1st year at HCY was terrible too, until I made some good friends, soooo) Lunch-is still locationally boring, but better company-wise
-Only 1 building, nowhere to visit when you're tired of your desk.
Got 2 words for you: Ware. House.
Weirder
-In order to get from my desk to the washroom and back, I must pass through no fewer than 8 doors. Toast coffee machine? 6 doors. Lunchroom #1? 4 doors. It is a constant door-opening fiesta! And it's not like they're locked doors, no, just doors to open, you know, just cause. I nearly feel like the energy I use to replace my arm at my side is unwarranted. Maybe I'll just walk around with my arm stuck out...(no, that wouldn't be strange at all...). Tomorow I'm counting the number of times I have to open a door. I shall report back :) 128. That was the result of the door count. 128. Ridiculous.
All in all, things are good. I'm still bossy and people are still mostly ok with it, since it's really for the betterment of HCZkind that I do what I do.
I do still need to find someone to play catch with me at lunch, which is proving a challenge. Too bad there aren't any watersports here, then I'd really show em a thing or 2.
One could always surf the pond...
*Never miss the opportunity for a line from Caddyshack. Never.

SOTD 6/1/06: Semi Charmed Life
The sky it was gold, it was rose,
I was taking sips of it through my nose,
And I wish I could get back there,
Some place back there,
Smiling in the pictures you would take,
Doing crystal myth,
Will lift you up until you break,
It won't stop,
I won't come down, I keep stock,
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop,
And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given,
Then I bumped again,
And then I bumped again.

43 Things
I used to keep this list in my head, however, now, with the advent of the internet and all, I've moved it to this site called 43Things. What list, you say? Why, the list of random things I've always wanted to do. I suppose, for some, it might be finishing graduate school or teaching a child to read, but you know, I'm just not that noble. I just don't think anyone reading this would find that very interesting.
Yeah, and so, I guess I'd like to have solve world hunger on my list, but what was the first thing that popped into my head? Forklift certification.
No, my job doesn't require me to be forklift certified and I'm not looking for one that does, but do you know how much fun I think it would be to put on a short dress and some red heels and waltz into a bar, in, say, Cicero or Blue Island [<--insert Chicago accent here], and chat up some guys about warehouse stuff, you know? Mebbe talk about the Bears and what's hot at over at www.repolift.com, over a nice Polish sausage?
Very very fun. Extra super fun. And dude, I would laugh all the way home!
So, my list, which currently numbers 5 things, is a little more eclectic (surprise, surprise.) I'm still adding, cause, I mean, I really hope there are more than 5 things I want to accomplish in this life.

Another gorgeous day!
And between shopping for and planting flowers with my mom yesterday, and sitting on the deck all day to day, I'd say I'm a good medium to medium-well at this point. A little salt and pepper, some A1, I'd make a pretty good dinner!
Yes, mom, I know I should be wearing sunscreen, but sometimes I don't feel like it...until later...when even with the Advil I just took, I certainly do feel like it (shrimp on the barbie, that is.)
Anyway, here a pic. In my defense, my verysmartphone's camera does lean on the reds a little, so it's not as bad as it will seem. However, that little circle? The fastener on my swimsuit top, burned into me for the rest of eternity...
Do NOT tell my mom I got a sunburn. I can hear it now, "OH Merri, don't you have any sunscreen?"
I'm gonna get t-shirt with this conversation printed on it :). Or maybe a tattoo (to go along with my Trident submarine tat, mom) ;)
Do you want to know who I am totally adding to The List?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Yes, he's the actor who played the Winchester boys' dad on Supernatural. And yes, I'm aware of how creepy it is that I'd like to have both "Dean" from the show (here, on the right), and the guy who played his dad over for dinner. What can I say, I'm equal opportunity.
JDM played an Irish guy (with a reeeally questionable accent) in the movie PS I Love You...mrrrrrow. I totally recommend it for the kitchen scene alone (sighhh!).

Souvenirs, Souvenirs by Johnny Halliday.
Boy, the way he looks in this You Tube video is much more "Larry from Three's Company" than I expected, but still, it's a fun song. :) And it was 1960, so maybe that counts for something? Maybe?

My God what a beautiful day!
Seriously. Living in Northern Illinois where all of November and February--and good chunks of the remaining months--are totally gray and miserable, I always have that 'burning daylight' feeling on days like this.
As if there's a bank of beautiful weather and if you stay inside on good days, you're just going to lose them. Kind of like unused flex spending money. Actually *just* like unused flex spending money...
1. Wasting good days really sucks arbitrarily, just like losing tax-free money
2. You know full well that wasting a good day sucks, but it doesn't really make its true impression until a rainy day comes, just like lost tax-free money
3. Wasting a good day makes you hate the government, just like losing tax-free money
Ok, so I made that last one up.
But regardless, if you live near water or trees or the CN Tower or Kennesaw battlefield or Starbucks, GO OUTSIDE!
Cause then you can continue to update your blog via smrtphone. Ahhhh, technology. :)

Milan, of The Eh Team, has wondered where I went...
So, for him, and those other of you who work @ HCY, yes, I am no longer in their address book, because I have a new job! I am now a proud employee of Healthcare Company Z! (Which happens to be located in the same town I live in. Booyah.)
I started my new job yesterday and so far I like it. It's a little hard to get used to, as this location has about 1000 employees (as opposed to 15000 at HCX and 2500 at HCY). So, it feels tiny to me.
There are things that are better, things that are worse, and things that are weirder than HCY. As follows....
Better
-BETTER GDP!!! That is Good Documentation Practices, for those not in my industry. Oh so much better!
-Free pop (although I don't drink it)
-Free bottled water (and I do!)
-3 lunchrooms, for when you need a change of scenery
-CINNAMON ROLL COFFEE!! Tastes just like the "toast coffee" from HCX...mmmmmm....
-No automatic flush toilets (ie no more wet you know what...)
-I sit next to Rob J, who is really funny! I got my welcome present of a laser pointer from him this morning and he said that he will be willing to chase the dot upon request. He also proactively asked me not to call HR on him, cause he's just kidding. About whatever things he may say in the future.
Worse
-Not as many people to talk to
-Not as many cute boys to look at
-Lunch is super boring. Sitting in a 2nd floor lunchroom with a bunch of chicks. Borrring. (However, my 1st year at HCY was terrible too, until I made some good friends, soooo)
-Only 1 building, nowhere to visit when you're tired of your desk
-No hot food cafeteria
-No free tampons, bummer. But hey, free pop!
-No automatic sinks or paper towel thingys
-No HW, MG, CA, WS, CH, DM, SE, or IM to hang out with :(
Weirder
-In order to get from my desk to the washroom and back, I must pass through no fewer than 8 doors. Toast coffee machine? 6 doors. Lunchroom #1? 4 doors. It is a constant door-opening fiesta! And it's not like they're locked doors, no, just doors to open, you know, just cause. I nearly feel like the energy I use to replace my arm at my side is unwarranted. Maybe I'll just walk around with my arm stuck out...(no, that wouldn't be strange at all...). Tomorow I'm counting the number of times I have to open a door. I shall report back :)
-The other girl who does the job I do has long curly auburn hair too. People have noticed this and think it's peculiar.
That's all for tonight. More things to come tomorrow, including Door Count 2008.
OH, and the mother of 3 kids I went to grade school and high school works there. And spent the entire day coaching me in calling her by her first name and not Mrs. P. The transition is proving difficult, but she is unrelenting....we shall see...

L'Oreal Upward Spiral
Wellll...this one's okay. not great, not horrible.
Better than the Redken, not as good as the LaCoupe from yesterday.
It's really a fencesitter---the most fencesitterey of all so far.
hmmmm.

LaCoupe: Perfect Curls
Saturday's mousse trial was LaCoupe's Perfect Curls. No, I've never heard of it either.
I got it @ Ulta for under $10, which is cool! It smells good-kind of fruity. (I'm okay with fruity or fancy dept store/salon smells, but not so much with Acme Chemical Plant smells, you dig?)
The verdict? Good softy mousse! I had to crunch it a little more than I would have liked, once it dried, but I guess I can't go around comparing everything to Thermasilk.
That'd be like comparing every guy you date to Dean Cain or Hugh Jackman. It's just not a fair competition.
(sighhh :) )

Curly Sexy Hair
Yes, today's mousse trial involved Curly Sexy Hair spray foam (from the makers of Big Sexy Hair products).
This one is going to need a second trial. I like it better than the evil crunchy mousses I've mentioned so far. It's definitely soft, so that's good, but it didn't define my curls as much as I really like. It left me with what I affectionately call "lion hair". Rawr. :)
Don't get me wrong, lion hair has its moments, but it's never the look I want straight off. Except on Halloween, of course.
In CSH's defense, however, it has been raining for about 24hrs here and that really throws a wrench into any good hair day a curlytop might hope to have. So, I called today's mousse game on account of rain and will give CSH another shot on the next dry day.
I may not test a new one tomorrow, depends on the weather. I do, however, have a bunch of SOTDs that I have to post from this week.
So keep your eyes peeled for those :)

Another mousse sighting
In my thus-never-ending quest to find, again, the perfect mousse for my long curly hair, today's victim was Redken 05.
Yes, it has a name, but there are so many Redken products that, honestly, find by number is the best way to go.
The verdict on Redken 05? Unfortunately: Evil Crunchy Mousse.
I'm disappointed, particularly since it wasn't cheap ($15). Yep, it dried stiff and crunchy like the other evil mousses I've mentioned and, worse yet, when I went to un-crunch it, I found it to be sticky to the touch-even when dry.
And what's more, no shine! Crunchy, sticky, dull, pricey hair. Boooo!
Tomorrow's victim? Curly Sexy Hair's Curl Power. I'll keep you posted...

Some happy family news!
I'm going to be an aunt again! My sissy and BIL Nick are due sometime this September :)
Mousse
I've got decently good-looking curly hair, those who know me IRL can verify this. It's not like I exit the shower with cool hair though--my native locks look like cotton candy!
Mousse is the key to good curly hair (boo gel, boo John Frieda) I use it to keep the curls under control and have therefore been on a lifelong search for the perfect mousse.
Not too crunchy, keeps curls together, doesn't smell like poison...you know...the uzh.
So here's is what I determined so far in my mousse-using adult life, of products that are still on the market:
Evil Crunchy Mousse:
Herbal Essences (all kinds, smells good, is evil)
Aussie (come now, it is not 1987. crunchcrunchcrunch)
Tressemme (honestly, I was surprised this one didn't work out!)
Fructis (smells wonderful...has a dark evil soul)
Good Softy Mousse (it's a short list, as I do tend to like things the way that I like them):
Dove (the curls one, not the x-tra hold)
Thermasilk (the curls one too. this is my favorite mousse ever! alas, it is very hard to find)
Sunsilk (the apple-green bottle that says something about romantic curls on it. smells good too!)
There, there is some advice and protectioin for you curly-tops, I'll keep you posted :)

Dya know what I saw in Target the ot her day?
A bottle of, conditioner I suppose it was?...or serum?...one of those magic potions that turn one from librarian to sex kitten...anyway...
A bottle of conditioner that said on the front:
Fortifying Fortifier.
Um, well I'm glad, you know, I guess, about that. Cause really, Fortifying Secret Infiltrator or Fortifying Double Agent? That would just bad for us. You know, as a country.
Even Passive-Aggressive Fortifier could really bode poorly.
Fortifying Fortifier. No fooling around as to what that conditioner's all about.
No sir. And me without my cell phone camera, which to those of you who know me in real life must be frightening. Nope, I haven't misplaced my right hand, it was just in the car resting for the next battle...uh I mean charging.

So, this is my first real post from my new smartphone...
Just wait until you see the places I can post from now! I've been gone a little while here, but I'm going to try to get back on the wagon. New SOTDs, more complaining, all new stuff.
I have to go back and read my last posts, but the most newest thing is that I no longer work for Healthcare Company Y, and will hopefully soon have an interview with Healthcare Company Z! Also had an interview with Environmental Company X, which was pretty good too.
Don't have an SOTD for today--haven't been sleeping. But soon...soon...

Happy New Year's Adam!
Today's SOTD has no audio link, ostensibly because it's a TV theme?
Where it came from...who knows? I woke up to my small cat sitting on my chest, staring me in the eye, and this song-->
Spoken: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated.
We’re gonna do it!
Give us any chance, we’ll take it.
Give us any rule, we’ll break it.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true.
Doin’ it our way.
Nothin’s gonna turn us back now,
Straight ahead and on the track now.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true,
Doin’ it our way.
There is nothing we won’t try,
Never heard the word impossible.
This time there’s no stopping us.
We’re gonna do it.
On your mark, get set, and go now,
Got a dream and we just know now,
We’re gonna make our dream come true.
And we’ll do it our way, yes our way.
Make all our dreams come true,
And do it our way, yes our way,
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you.

Every day, urban dictionary sends me a word of the day. Yesterday's urban WOTD was Christmas Adam.
You know, December 23rd? Because Adam came before Eve? I know, kind of lame, but all day yesterday I found myself thinking, "Today is Christmas Adam".
These things get stuck in one's head.

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.
--> Irving Berlin, Easter Parade
Can't find a song sample (if anyone can, let me know and I'll add it). It's from a 1942 movie called Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. If you've not seen it, DO! It's really wonderful :)

It's been 3 days since I've been able to turn my head in any direction pther than the pre-ordained"straight". DB went and got me one of those thermacare things last night...ahh, air + iron rock things = warm + sleep.
Things weren't so good around 3am when I actually picked up my own head to turn it to the left so it would hurt less, but they're a little better now.
Man, I would make such an excellent parade horse. No blinders for me. Can't even turn my head no how...

The weirdest thing happened to me on Thursday night...
...I know, that's saying a lot--given the contents of this blog and the various things some of you may have heard come out my mouth over the years--however...
In the early am hours of Thurs night/Fri morning, I woke up (somewhat confused, as usual) to find something extra super creepy thing in my bed!
I happened to be sleeping on my stomach, when I moved my left hand, only to find something that was kind of warm and felt like fingers lying on my pillow. CREEPY!
Now, I sleep on the left-hand-free side of the bed, and since I was on my stomach and the "fingers" were pointing to my left, I knew it wasn't DB's hand. Unless it had been detached from his arm in the middle of the night....which does seem like a viable option when one is woken up in the middle of the night only to find an extra hand on one's pillow.
Anyway, I picked it up to fling it off the bed so I could turn on the light--it was icky-warm--only to find that it wouldn't go.
At this point, I was waking up a little bit, and I decided to investigate a little......only to find that this creepy, warm thing was connected to....my own arm.
Yes, my hand was so far asleep that it wasn't even tingly. I couldn't even tell that it was my own right hand that my left hand was trying to pick up and fling to the floor.
Where I thought my actual right hand may have gone during this little episode? I have no idea.
Want to have some fun? Come over and wake me up in the middle of the night--see what happens....

I'm a thourough-bred, that's what she said
in the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road.
We were flying high
Fine as wine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me
But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for salvation all night long
So I took her out giggin frogs
Introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every Wilie Nelson song I could think of
And we made love!

I am officially too old to sleep on the floor
Well, on the floor without a cushion of some sort, at least.
Yep, we lost power during our snow/ice storm last night at about 845P and ended up having a campout in the living room, sleeping bags and all :)
Since our furnace is electric ignited, when we lose power, we lose heat. Given that it was cold out, we decided to camp out in the living room with the gas fireplace. So we dragged out the sleeping bags and the flashlights, and settled down with cat/cat/dog on the floor.
(Also fun for us--when the power goes out, we lose water, since we're on an electric powered well. So we got to have a great night of "don't flush if ya don't gotta". So nice....)
A good time was had by all! My zero degrees-rated mummybag kept me warm and claustrophobic--and one cat and the dog kept me pinned down in various uncomfortable positions--throughout the night.
The other cat? Inside the bag with me all night long. Just like a mink hot water bottle. That periodically sinks its claws into your leg.
So, although I've now realized that my bones no longer desire to sleep on the floor, all in all, it was a fun night :)

On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore? Don’t you care about me?
I don't think so.
Six foot tall
Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore Come around here?
I don't think so.

Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you

I see you looking at me
I can tell by your eyes that you're feeling me and
I really want you to get close with me.
So won't you dance with me...dance with me.
My drop top's in the parking lot and
I wanna take you back to my spot.
We can snuggle a little, more time to us.
So won't you dance with me...dance with me!

Where it began
I cant begin to knowin
But then I know its growin strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer

Hands, touchin hands
Reachin out
Touchin me
Touchin youuuuuuu!
Ecoutez! (4th one down is the best)
--> Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline

Movie Review: The Heartbreak Kid
Cute Persons to look at (0-5): I give it a 3.
For the biceps crowd, there's Ben Stiller's Eddie Cantrow (also here). I've always thought he was cute and funny (and he's shapely, which is always appreciated!! I do love an invitation to the gun show.)
For the stockings crowd, there's 2 choices. There the Malin Akerman, the blonde chick who plays Ben Stiller's wife. Pretty enough, though her character is so annoying that it might be hard to get over. (I guess you could always just plug your ears?)
Alternatively, there's Michelle Monaghan, who plays the love interest Miranda. Mrrrrow.
A Satisfying Ending (0-5): 1. Meh. The ending was a mixed bag. On one hand, you're happy to get what seems like a happy ending. On the other hand, I was really disappointed in Ben Stiller's character and felt sad for my girl Michelle.
Action/adventureness (0-5): 3. There's a good amount of slapstick and pratfalls, which is fun. Some good driving scenes. There was also some, um, action scenes that might surprise. Meant to be funny, but still pretty shocking for a Ben Stiller movie!
Love storyness (0-5): 1. True love story? Not really...not, like, From Here to Eternity love story. Otherwise, there's plenty of love story--the whole movie is full of it.
Good Scaryness (0-5): 0. No scaryness at all. At least not the way I mean it.
Kissing (0-5): 1. Not enough kissing. But, boy, those not-kissing scenes. Funny--and meant to be funny--but pretty graphic!
Cinematography/Special Effects (1-5): 2. Also meh. Some of the scenery was really pretty, but then other times you could tell it was green-screened. The thing is, it's a Farrelley brothers movie, not high cinema.
Extra Credit: 5. Ben Stiller's real-life dad, Jerry, is hilariously rude and potty-mouthed. He alone is worth watching the movie.
Total: 16/35. Made by the people who brought you There's Something About Mary and Superbad, but less enjoyable than either.

One of my my sassmouth readers has chastised me...
...for not writing. So, to silence Jen's whining--> Here's today's SOTD!!
Yes, I think they're back. At least it was back en force this morning, since I don't even own this song.
"If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrongI know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew"
Listen here
