how did i sink so low????

so i've been feeling a bit better... but today it was SUPERBUSY at work, and i was near collapse... it was so stuffy and funky in the lobby... i nearly vomited... gross...ANYHOO... i was working w/ rachel today (one of my favorite ppl) and i conned her into going to see ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES EVER MADE!
i'm so embarrassed to admit... but we went to see i know who killed me...
now, i knew it was going to be aweful, but this took bad to a whole new level... i mean.. this made ed wood's movies look like gone w/ the wind!
first off.. the story was totally lame... the dialogue unbelievable and unclear, and just boring and unreal, the acting was horrendous and hackneyed, and the general vibe was just tasteless... i liked the gritty film stock... but all in all... it was like a bad b movie that took itself WAY too seriously...
(like it was trying to mimic planet terror, but be real about it..)
the only good thing was that we had lick's before hand, and shakes after.. and then we came back here and watched ellen... now it's x-files time... and then bedtime! and tomorrow the whole day starts again...
next week, i'm going to buy a vacuum... anyone know of a good place to buy cheap?!
keep it real

you can't stop the beat!

you can't stop an avalanche as it races down the hill
you can try to stop the season, girl but you know you never will!
and you can try to stop my dancing feet, but i just cannot stay still!
cuz the world keeps spinning round and round
and my heart's keeping time to the speed of the sound
i was lost till i heard the drums and i found my way
cuz you can't stop the beat
ever since this old world began a woman found that if she shook it
she could shake up a man
and so i'm gonna shake and shimmy just the best that i can today
cuz you can't stop the motion of the ocean
or the sun in the sky
you can wonder if you wanna but i never ask why
and if you try to get me down i'm gonna spit in your eye and say
you can't stop the beat!

...you can't stop my happiness cuz i like the way i am
and you just can't stop my knife and fork when i see a christmas ham
and if you don't like the way i look, well i just don't give a damn!
cuz the world keeps spinning round and round
and my heart's keeping time to the speed of the sound
i was lost till i heard the drums and i found my way
cuz you can't stop the beat...!

being crazy... pros and cons...

there really aren't any cons... only pros.. b/c i'm crazy.. i don't really give a flying fuck about what other ppl think... (quote: that's the great thing about having a nervous breakdown, you just stop giving a fuck!)
anyhoo... i've read that my beloved gilmore girl was spotted in the good city, at an intersection i've VERY familiar with...
the question at hand is: do i go and stalk that region... or wait for reports on where they're actually filming so i don't come off as a psycho? hmmmm... lots to ponder...
in other news.. i'm sick... (yes i know i just covered that in the paragraph above) but i mean.. cough sneeze sore throat sick...i think it's strep.. b/c it's going around work... ugh... i was at the dr.'s yesterday and he swabbed my throat and tomorrow i should hear back... i took the day off today to rest and sleep... and now i really want pizza...
but i must resist that harmful urge and stick to the salad that's waiting for me...mmmmmm
and that's all for now... 112 more days... i can't friggin' wait!

HAIRSPRAY!!!!

officially my new obsession..
new mission is to obtain the original flick and original broadway soundtrack (which i've already downloaded, but want the actual cd)
so far, i have 3 different posters and the actual trailer from the theatre and the soundtrack...
i'm hoping to go see it again next week.... EVERYONE is encouraged to join!
and now, it's midnight, i've been sleepless for a while... and i need to eat, shower and do some hairspray research...
hope everyone is groovy!
xoxo

whoa!

it's official...
ok... first off, i've been working like a madwoman the last while and not sleeping AT ALL...
i haven't been keeping up w/ my regular movie watching and still have a couple flicks on my list...
NOW, i don't like musicals... (and you can probably guess where this post is going) but i watch them... and i like bits and pieces of them... and i like live shows... and what not... 6 yrs. ago i flipped over moulin rouge... and since then i haven't seen anything that really did it for me..
i watched chicago, rent, and a few other forgettable flicks...
tonight i worked all day, and my main plan was to go home and sleep... or try to at least...
but then we had a promotional screening (meaning you had to be invited to it) of hairspray...
and i was determined to get tickets... i did.. and i called up my buddy julie and off we were...
so while waiting in line to get into the theatre, they did these surveys about the hamilton spec. and the movie.. i won lip gloss (w/ the movie pic on it) and some stickers and tattoos... tre fab!
then we were in the theatre (which was packed) and they did more trivia stuff and i got another question right and i got a little gift package which included the movie soundtrack and more stickers/tattoos/poster and key chain...
(ps. the questions were: where does hairspray take place, what city? and who wrote the original.
answers: baltimore and john waters)
and then we saw the movie... and holy whoa! SUCH AN AMAZING FLICK! i'm totally in love w/ it! and i wanna see it again... amazing soundtrack (listening to it as i type)
my only concern was that amanda bynes was in it.. but seriously... she's fantastic! amazing singing voice, and really funny and likable...
i highly recommend this flick to EVERYONE! i can't wait to see it again!
also, i've been doing fairly well at work and i got some gift cards for futureshop to buy the new garbage release at the end of the month...
so needless to say, today was a super good day!
i am one super tired and wired little bunny running through the woods!
keep it real ya'll!

black christmas....

for those of you who don't know, black christmas is a cult horror flick from the 70's (either 4 or 9) and is said to be christina ricci's fave, and was later remade (last year).
basically, it's about a psycho killer who stalks a sorority house from the inside, sounds super cheesy.. but it's one of the most freaky flicks ever made... it's canadian, and it stars margot kidder and andrea martin and its just chilling... the most freaky thing is that he calls the girls and uses this creepy voice and says these disturbing things... just blah...
ANYHOO.. i worked a double today, and while i was getting counted down, we heard this voice over the walkie.. and it said, "i can see you" and then all kinds of mumble jumble.. all in this creepy voice.. that was all deep and throaty and static... and then it said smthing about our young female manager... ...i want you... etc...
and no one knew who it was.. everyone w/ a walkie was accounted for and the voice continued... it freaked us all out... for real... even the guys were freaked out...
so after about 15 mins of this going on.. we found out it was a 15 year old moron.. he got yelled at and kicked out of the building... never a dull moment... sheesh!
other than that... i'm exhausted... sleep is like a long lost dream... and i miss it... i haven't slept in a over a week... and just running and doing stuff and working non stop... blah...
sunday was a chill day that i hung out w/ M. and it was awesome! we ate junk and watched movies and talked and just hung out... M. you're awesome! i hope to hear from you soon!
but i was super tired...
ok... i'm going to watch some x-files and try sleeping...
farewell amigos!

mon's bday extravaganza!

before i delve into this post, a few things about me:
i don't drink AT ALL... if i have a sip of alcohol, i feel REALLY sick a few mins. later.. i've tried drinking a whole bunch of times, but always w/ disappointing results...
i'm not a touchy feely kinda gal... and i don't dress provocatively...
last night... all that went out the window!
i dressed up the 'girls' (translation: my tits were out and about)
made myself all pretty and smelling divine, and headed downtown to the dreaded hess village...
i mingled and socialized w/ some old friends and then did a shot of liquid cocaine w/ monica... (but before that, i was repsonsible and drank a lot of water and ate a lot of garlic bread)
then i continued to drink water and then a couple hrs later did a shot a quervo w/ candice... and i think i got a bit tipsy-ish.. i got LOUD and was screaming the whole night... showing off my gals... and flirting shamelessly w/ the boys...
and then it was just a small group of us from work so that was nice...
we then walked (at around 3 am) from hess to westdale where we sat and smoked and shot the shit and laughed our asses off... and then i got a ride home..
didn't get to bed till around 4:45 am.. and now it's 9:30, i've been up for 1/2 an hr...
blah...
partying last night was definately fun! it wasn't too loud and crowded and we had some good people w/ us... i stamp my approval....
key highlights:
i felt monica up
we sang a lot and loud...
we visited sitko at the casbah at 3:30 am and listened to some live music
best line of the night: all the stars up in the sea..
good times...
maybe now i'll go out w/ the kids more often...

i'm in love....

i hold no grudge...(nina simone)

I hold no grudge
There's no resentment und'neath
I'll extend the laurel wreath and we'll be friends
But right there is where it ends

I hold no grudge
And i'll forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if i take it all to heart
And make sure that it doesn't start again

Yes i'm the kind of people
You can step on for a little while
But when i call it quits
Baby that's it
I'm the kind of people
You can hurt once in a while
But crawling just ain't my style

I hold no grudge
Deep inside me there's no regrets
But a gal who's been forgotten may forgive
But never once forget

random quote: loneliness is a choice...

i am not a crook! er.. i mean feminist!

what is it about men that makes them believe they can treat us like 2nd class citizens?
how and when did this all begin??
i'm reading this book by naomi wolf called the beauty myth and it talks about the systematic oppression of women through different avenues of guilt and assumptions...(starting w/ the 1800's and all the crap men said to prevent women from gaining rights, all the way to today's time, when women are too smart/powerful, so now "they" make us feel bad about how we look and dictate how we "should" look...basically, they'll do/say anything to deny us further power... b/c they can't deal... psha! get over it! we're here, we're queer! get used to it.. oh wait.. wrong slogan... nevermind...)
it drives me nuts! (by the by... i'm NOT a feminist and i hate them...)
but reading this stuff.. just makes me go.. whoa... what the fuck!? how can this be?? i was watching an episode of the x-files(shock!) and this woman had a bruised face, and one guy says to her, i'd love to catch the bastard who did that to you...which got me thinking... why do you assume that she was beaten by a man? maybe she fell? maybe it was her girlfriend? maybe it was a million other things... but to assume that it was done by a guy... i dunno, something seems off.... i think there's something fundamentally flawed in a society that just accepts this sort of violence...to the point of casual assumption...
and as for that double standard... give me a break...sometimes i think.. wow.. look at how we've come as a race of humans... what we've accomplished... blah blah blah.. and then there's always that something... of like... wow.. it's fucking 2007 already.. open your fucking eyes... like.. seriously... wake up and shut up! (or smthing a bit more articulate than that...)
however... i have to say... w/ no kinda schmaltzy blahness... that i LOVE being a chick... it's so much more interesting.... i'd MUCH rather have boobs than a dick.. (no offense guys)... and i like having options...(ie pants or skirt...regardless that it's always the former.. i like choice)
i like that i can wear make up (though i don't) and mess around w/ my hair (which i do!) and that i have and endless supply and variety of beauty supplies..(well... that's a bit more complicated... is it there to benefit me? or to make me look like a woman should? hmmmm)
etc. etc...
