hello, lovely

It’s definitely a Monday. I left my badge at home. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I need it to get in and out, unless I ring the doorbell thing everytime I need in, but people don’t always answer it if no one’s up front. I think I might go get it at lunch, because it’s going to be an annoying day if I don’t. Jess forgot hers, too, and TC’s not here today. I also forgot my Netflix movies, so I think I’m going to run home and get those and drop them off at the post offce. The thing that sucks about it is I actually brought my lunch today. I suppose I could take it home with me, but I might just leave it here for tomorrow.

Is today over yet?

Stolen from kc.

1. Name a movie you have seen more than 10 times. Nothing to Lose. I love every part in that movie. LOL
2. Name a movie you’ve seen multiple times in the theater. Um, the only movie I remember seeing a zillion times in the theater was Legends of the Fall. We saw it 4 times. We cried like babies the first time, and everytime other than that, we cried just a little earlier, knowing what happens. Besides, long-haired Brad Pitt? Hot. lol
3. Name an actor who would make you more inclined to see a movie. Reese Witherspoon. I just love everything that she does!!
4. Name an actor who would make you less likely to see a movie. I can’t really think of anybody off the top of my head.
5. Name a movie you can and do quote from. The Rock: “But how, in the name of Zeus’s BUTTHOLE did you get out of your cell!?!” (I used to have this whole little section memorized, but that’s my favorite line. LOL)
6. Name a movie musical in which you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs. Moulin Rouge
7. Name a movie you have been known to sing along with. Moulin Rouge or any Disney animated movie I’ve seen. LOL
8. Name a movie you would recommend everyone see. Nothing to Lose!! *lol* The language is a bit strong, so if that doesn’t bother you, you should definitely see it.
9. Name a movie you own. Better Off Dead
10. Name an actor who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops. Justin Timberlake.. he’s not like, the best, but I’ve seen him in a couple different things (plus SNL), and I just love ‘im.
11. Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what? Nope, but that would be so fun!
12. Ever made out in a movie? Nope, but I have had to sit next to people making out. It was uncomfortable… lol
13. Name a movie you keep meaning to see but you just haven’t gotten around to yet. Anything on my Netflix list… lol
14. Ever walked out of a movie? No, but I can think of two that I should’ve walked out of.
15. Name a movie that made you cry in the theater. I always cry at movies in the theater. I’m such a sap. I usually try not to when Joe’s with me, but yeah.. I’m a big baby. LOL
16. Popcorn? Depends… if I go w/ Joe, we usually get the “movie meal” things … little bit of popcorn, little bit of soda, and a little bit of candy. If I go w/ my family, we get like, everything. *lol* If I go w/ my sister, it’s a crapshoot. Sometimes popcorn, sometimes nachos, sometimes a hot dog. If I go by myself, it depends on my mood.
17. How often do you go to the movies (as opposed to renting them or watching them at home)? Lately, I”ve been going a lot. If Joe’s here, we go to one or two movies. If my sister and I feel like it, we usually go out to see a movie Friday night after work. I’ve started going myself, too. I love the movies. We went all the time when I was a kid, and then we stopped.
18. What’s the last movie you saw in the theater? Wild Hogs. It was pretty funny!
19. What’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie? Comedy or romantic comedy. Sometimes a good drama or action flick, but I’m always in the mood for funny.
20. What’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater? Sleeping Beauty.
21. What movie do you wish you had never seen? Dead Man
22. What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed? ummm, I don’t know.
23. What is the scariest movie you’ve seen? The Shining really freaked me out. THe original one, not any of the newer versions.
24. What is the funniest movie you’ve seen? Nothing to Lose.

Man, I really can’t stand Pledge Weekends on PBS. I understand the need for it, but they always show “special” shows, and none of the cooking shows I enjoy watching are on.

This is a dramatic change now that I’m older. Back when I was a kid, it meant Anne of Green Gables marathons, and all kinds of cool movies and such. Now? not so much.

I don’t have much to talk about lately. I think I’m going to play hermit this weekend.

Happy Birthday, April!!!!! (I’m really glad you didn’t already have the “In Death” book…LOL)

Happy St Patrick’s Day!!! Drink a green beer for me..

I hate Denver.

That is all.
Thank you, drive thru.

You guys suck at the Dear Abby thing. Nobody really asked a real question except JessaBelle, so here goes:

Q: Dina wanted me to quit blogging and fly Joe in so we could create a registry.
A: To which I reply - Um.. no? *lol* Joe ended up coming in, but we did not register for anything. sorry.

Q: She also gave me a link to the Razzies and said I could blog about that….
A: That’s probably ancient history now, and I forgot what I would’ve said.

Q: MellyPie said I could help her move…
A: … but she already did that. I’m so helpful.

Q: JessaBelle asked, “What in this world makes you the happiest over everything else?”
A: I could go w/ the loveydovey, mushygushy answer and say Joe, but I’m sad when he’s not around. I miss him, and it sucks. So until we’re together full-time, I’m going to have to say knitting makes me the happiest over everything else. Knitting is around when Joe isn’t, knitting is around when Joe is. It’s something that I always have, and it keeps me from being bored or helps me use up time on my lunch break, or standing in line. Knitting lets me do something productive while doing something wouldn’t really be considered productive…. like, I can watch a movie, but also finish a scarf in the process.

So, there you go. There are my answers to your questions. Yes, I realize I also suck at answering almost as much as you guys suck at asking. But I love you anyway…

I slept through BOTH of my alarms this morning, and woke up at 9am… which would have been fine, since my body thought it was 8, which is when I’ve been waking up….. except that it was NINE. I’m at work by 9. I ‘m at work BEFORE 9.

A perfect ending to the Weekend of Weird Sleeping HAbits.

So I freaked out, threw some clothes on and ran out the door, and I just spent the last few hrs at work feeling SO GROSS…

So, Teresa had to leave for lunch today .. so I came home and showered. *lol* I’m so glad that I live 2 blocks away.

Better go eat lunch so I can go back. :/
The bad thing about coming home for lunch? Having to go back to work.

Where the hell are you??

Love always,
Manda

Geez, I am up late. I should even be UP this late since we lost an hour tonight, and I’m going to have to get some sleep for work on Monday.

I went to bed last night at a normal (for me) time last night, and I woke up at a normal time. Around 2 or 3, I just HAD. TO. go to sleep, so I took a nap. A four hour nap. I was still tired when I woke up, but because I didn’t want to screw up the sleeping habits (ha!), I forced myself awake… and now, here I am. Wide awake at 4:40 in the morning.

I watched The Italian Job, the news, SNL, whatever weird show comes on after SNL, Poker after Dark, some talk show about movies, and now some stupid infomercial about anxiety & depression is on. Blah, blah, blah.

I guess I’ll turn everything off and attempt to go to sleep.
Remind me not to take any 4 hrs naps tomorrow… *lol*

I’ve seen 145 146 of these… so I guess, No Life!

Edited to Add: I HAVE seen Finding Neverland, and I’ve corrected that grievous mistake so my mom doesn’t ground me.

To summarize the way my week has gone is going, I leave you with these lovely lyrics from my favorite band, Green Day.

Burnout by Green Day

I declare I don’t care no more
I’m burning up and out and growing boredIn my smoked out boring room
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
To drive along these shit town lights

I’m not growing up
I’m just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the dead

Apathy has rained on me
Now I’m feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I don’t mind
I’ve lived inside this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them anyway

I’m not growing up
I’m just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the dead

[Repeat many times]
