LOOK MA, NO NOSE

THAT'S ME!

Okay, so I'm bored! What else is there to do than to try out your new digital camera? Whoa, that's what you call a bright flash! The funny part is I always think I look the best in pictures where you can't see my nose... go figure!

Anyway, I'm just trying to pass time because tonight is Thursday which means it is the night that I (along with my cousins and my mother) usually go out to my brother's place Plush Cafe. Enjoy in a bit of live music along with some bad poetry (and some good as well), and inbetween ringing up customers eat a great chicken breast salad (that I have to make myself, mind you) and drink a green apple Smirnoff Ice slushie (my specialty)... but I still don't know if we're gonna be going out there tonight.

I'm just waiting on a phone call from Michelle, her car's been acting up today.

Then tomorrow we're heading up the hill to Hesperia, or Hysteria as my niece Kiara calls it, to spend the weekend with my sis and her family. The only down side of it all is that we usually don't get home from Plush until real late (or early in the morning), then we have to wake up early to get ready to go up the hill... I hate not getting sleep.I'm not a day person, not by any meaning of the word! I sleep during the day and am awake all night, see I'm a Personal Care Giver, and I'm paid to "give care" to my mom, and we pretty much have the same schedule. She's awake all night and sleeps during the day too... so bully for me.

Anyway, my sister and her husband Garth have 5 kids. A 15 year old girl... the horrors, 9 year old twin boys, and 6 year old twins, boy and girl, so I don't really get much sleep when I'm there either... but I drink Vodka with my sister and we usually play cards or Yahtzee or some sort of game. Yes, we are geeks at heart!

Hey, I'm just happy I'm not going up there to braid her hair! I HATE to braid hair, but I braid my own hair, and my sister's hair because I love her. If I didn't, well... Oh well.

I got to see a trailer for the Serenity movie. True it was an incredibly crappy trailer, but I saw it, sort of. I heard it, just wish I could have seen it better!

Okay, now I'm just babbling and my stomach is starting to feel really empty because I usually don't eat on Thursdays so I can really enjoy that chicken breast salad at Plush!Here's hoping we make it to Plush (and that chicken breast salad and green apple Smirnoff Ice slushie!)

~Choices On Demand

CHOICES ON DEMAND

I swear I am so loving this Charter On Demand thing! The funny thing is, though I haven't exactly ordered any of "pay" movies On Demand, I use the HBO and the Cinemax On Demand to death!

Even when there isn't a movie I want to see on it... or comedy special or anything, I find myself turning there and watching anyway. I tape the episodes of Carnivale, yet I find myself turning to HBO On Demand to watch them instead of popping in my tape. I figure if it's free, you got to use it like crazy before they catch on and decide to charge for it.

Right now though I'm debating on what I want to do. Do I want to write, or scan some pictures so I can use them in later posts, or maybe watch the 7th and final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD. I bought the DVD's a few weeks ago, but had only managed to watch the first 3 episodes before I got a little down remembering how much I love the show and looked forward to seeing it every week.

I think I can handle it now, but do I want to?

Actually I think what I want to do is read Joss Whedon's "FRAY" comics over again, I haven't done that in a while. I'm not really a comic book person, though I do love M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable, which is all about comic books, I just fell in love with Fray. I didn't know so much could be conveyed in such a short space.

Fray is only a 8 comic series, but I heard rumors that Joss was going to make it into a monthly issue, but... I guess he got busy. Either that or rumors just can't be trusted... who'd-a-thunk!

Right now I'm watching Psycho Beach Party with every one's favorite... uh... well... damn, I can't think of anything clever to say about Nicholas Brendan! Anyhow, I think I'm gonna turn off the Party and go for the Buffy episodes.

We have a maintenance man coming over in the morning to fix... or put in a new garbage disposal. He's coming at 10:00 and I said "Yeah, that's fine!" like an idiot when really I haven't been going to sleep until about 8 or 8:30 in the a.m. So now I have to try and get to sleep earlier so I can wake up to have my disposal disposed of.
