9 Trailer

When I saw this in the theatre, I nearly shouted with glee. Okay, so maybe I did shout. Can you blame me?



PS: That's "Welcome Home" by one of my favourite bands Coheed and Cambria in the trailer.

Technical Difficulties Arise + SOTW - Staring at the Sun

Yes, my blog is acting wikitty wikkity whack. I'm aware of the problem and am fixing it. In the meantime, listen to something good...like this:

Song of the Week: Staring at the Sun by TV on the Radio

Texts From Last Night

(251): Could you imagine if a Skynet machine combination of Bob Ross and Chuck Norris were built? It would rule the universe with a soft spoken fan brush of kung fu dominance
(303): It would be truly incredible. I hope we are blessed with this being in our lifetime.

Yes, I laughed.

SOTW: Must Be Dreaming

Song of the Week: Must Be Dreaming by Frou Frou...because this week I feel like dancing.

Stupid Stupid Mistakes

I did something very stupid today. or rather, I did it a week ago and only realized it now: I didn't pay May's mortgage payment. Instead, ladies and gents, I sent the payment to a credit card company I don't even have a card (or balance) with anymore. How did I do that? I'm not quite sure either. All I know is I feel like succumbing to hysterics at the moment.

So my (very large) amount of money is not sitting in the office of this card company somewhere and it's a bloody holiday weekend. My mortgage company is not happy either and I am embarrassed because I have never been late for a payment. NEVER.

Sigh. It's not as bad as it sounds. I mean, the company HAS to give me back my money. And I have enough to cover the mortgage until it does. I just feel very stupid right now and it's a fitting end to a bad weekend. How is it only Saturday??

Oh, speaking of bad weekends, if you live near Tampa, don't bother trying to go to the new Ikea. It's a mad house. We got lost several times when we got there and then, once we found it, we were turned away because they were at capacity. We were supposed to park elsewhere and take the shuttle. Well, we had already been on the road for over an hour and got pissed and left. Yeeeah. Floridians are crazy.

That's my tale. Here's hoping tomorrow goes well. ♥

Song of the Week: Flux

This song is the sh!t. I absolutely adore it. Give it a listen.

SOTW: Flux by Bloc Party

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I feel crappy so not much is going on but I did buy my mom wii fit. Everyone has had a blast trying it out. I also got myself a spiffy new iPod touch. I'm feeling a little guilty but I'll just say I am doing my part to help the economy.

I'll post the song of the week when I get on my computer later.

SOTW: Brackett, WI

Song of the Week: Brackett, WI by Bon Iver

MAY DAY!

Actually, May Day is almost over. Whoops. Yeeeaaah. Oh well. Today was an interesting day at work, mostly because I felt so sick. The highlight was a coworker bringing her baby to the office...yeah, I'm a sucker for kids.

I also got a bit of a driving lesson today. I might be buying myself a car this month. Holy heck, that's a big event. I'm hoping to find a beetle because I think they are so cute (and surprisingly roomy).

Still no cooking or knitting as of late. I know, I know, this is a tragedy. I'm hoping to get energized enough to bake a lasagna this weekend. If I do, I'll share the visual love.

Stay tuned for song of the week!

"Promotion" Means You Get Busy

...And not in the good way. :p

But it's true, I was promoted at my company. I have my own office now...okay, so it's the size of a postage stamp but it's mine and mine alone. W00T! Of course with great power comes great responsibilities or whatever that dude that got shot says in the movie. So it's a lot of work but I love it.

I assume the entire world has seen Susan Boyle's audition on Britain's Got Talent. If not, go see it. I hate to admit it, but I was moved. She's one feisty lady, that one.

I have not done much cooking or knitting. I did, however, paint something for my mom's office. I didn't take a finished picture of it. D'oh! I'll snap one on Monday and share.

I think that's the most exciting update from me, folks. Until next time.
