Awesome!
We have air! In fact, we had it by the time I got back from lunch. It's not great in here, but it's getting there. Also, yesterday my dad was showing me the places in Gatlinburg they were looking at renting for us and one of them had an air hockey table! I love air hockey. I think that's way better than a pool table, although this place had both. Anyway, I'm still not sure why they want us all to go to Gatlinburg, but whatever. I put my vote in for the one with air hockey. :)
Urgh
The air conditioning unit at work quit yesterday afternoon. The air people came this morning and said the motor died. So still no air. It is 85 degrees in BG right now, but it feels like 88 and we just barely have any wind. This is going to suck a lot. Our building gets full sun pretty much all day long. Awesome.

pop quiz: part deux
Let's try again, since the other one was too easy. So, what is this "Well she's got baggage and it's all the emotional kind. She talks about closure and that validation bit. I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit" from? Hint: it is not a Cake song, although I almost went with the lyric that's been in my head since yesterday.

Yes, I am "a girl who uses a machete to cut through red tape"
Busy...but bored at the same time. So, pop quiz Benzes! What song is the above from?

"Bring me some reefers!"
Reefer Madness was on TV this weekend and I watched most of it because I had never seen it before. It was dumb, but I must say that my favorite part was Dish Network's description of it; "Young people go from marijuana to wild piano playing, hysteria and death." Now that is awesome. I never knew that one of the things you needed to look out for was wild piano playing. I guess we should've been keeping a closer eye on Mark when he was a teenager. Oops. What is also awesome is that IMDB's description says that teenagers become addicted to jazz music. I'm not sure if that's just because of poor syntax or if they really meant it that way, but it's funny. To me, anyway. I had wanted to see the 2005 Reefer Madness spoof/remake where they made it a musical and whatnot, but I still haven't gotten around to it. Anyway, I just wanted to share with you that you need to watch your children and make sure they aren't playing piano wildly.

Lately...I have been feeling old
I went to the bank today to deposit my dad's paycheck because he is out of town. He had left me a deposit slip, so that was cool, but I was having issues trying to forge his signature. I remember Dave used to be able to do it pretty well, but I couldn't even remember quite what it looked like. Anyway, the teller asked if I was Kathy (her name was also on the deposit slip) and I said no. Then she asked me if I was Dave's wife. I was like, uh...no, I'm his daughter. She said she didn't think he was old enough to have a daughter my age. Now, I am not loving this being old thing. I think being fat makes me look old. When I was 21, people thought I was like 16 and now, people keep thinking I'm older than I really am. I did not love being mistaken for 16 at 21, but now, I would take that anyday. I haven't gotten carded in at least the last 6 times I have bought alcohol at a restaurant or store. That makes it sound like I buy a lot of alcohol, and I would certainly age faster if I were drinking massive amounts of liquor. But I do not and I am not. Lucky Dad for looking so young. Apparently when I am his age I will not have that issue.
I saw Knocked Up last night and the theater was remarkably full for a Tuesday night, especially for a movie that's been out a couple weeks. I don't think I was as disappointed as Shannon was, but apparently that's because I didn't see 40 Year Old Virgin. I'll have to work on that. The movie started out pretty funny, but then it totally turned into a romantic comedy, which is, from what I've read, not what Apatow does. But whatever, it was still better than the last movie I saw in the theater, which mostly just made me want to watch Can't Hardly Wait. Not because they were anything alike, but because Ethan Embry is in both and he was not so much a creepy old guy in Can't Hardly Wait.
It must be summer, because I went to a softball game on Friday and I scratched my legs for pretty much the entire time we were there. Surprisingly enough, by the time we left I had not managed to rip all the skin of my calves or give myself welts. Yay. But seriously, I do not want to give myself welts like I did last summer. Particularly since it takes approximately 4 months to get in to see my dermatologist. And Dave, this is not the post that I was working on with all the links. That post is still a work in progress. Maybe I will do it tomorrow. For those of you who aren't Mark or me, Dave is the most awesome big brother ever. Thanks for helping me everytime I call you with a stupid question. And for not making fun of me for it, either.

quick, do something!
I've been quite busy lately. Christina's wedding happened last weekend. It was fun and everything was really lovely and I don't think there were any major mishaps. Or maybe I'm just blocking them out. Anyway, I'm really glad I got to be part of it and even managed not to cry during the actual ceremony.
I've developed this bad habit of composing blog posts in my head while driving or trying to go to sleep and then by the time I get to a computer, I don't even remember what I was going to talk about, much less how I put it. So...uh...my parents left for Hawaii Sunday morning and I am cat and plant-sitting while they are away. I was beginning to get concerned on Tuesday, not because I hadn't heard from my parents (which I had not, by the way) but because I had not seen their cat Jack yet. But fret not, my fears were assuaged when I went over Tuesday to water plants because he would not leave my side that evening. So, he's lonely, but not lost or stolen. Also, I talked to my dad on Tuesday and they are fine also, just in case anyone was concerned.
I was reading something on Entertainment Weekly's site about the new CW summer show Hidden Palms, which looks terrible. For the record, I know that it really is terrible because I watched the first two episodes because it was Wednesday and I had nowhere to be. And also because I am such a dork that I like to watch really awful shows just so I know whether I agree or not when I read the Television Without Pity recaps. I like to read the recaps of shows that are bad because then the recaps are really funny. Anyway, at the bottom of EW's column about it, they had comments and this one girl left a comment defending the show that made very little sense. I like that the people who defend the show make very little sense, which helps you understand why they are defending it at all. This girl mentions "ever here of the one tree hill pilot it was so bad and after that it was great." Now, I have watched some One Tree Hill in the past and I think that statement is a baldfaced lie in addition to being grammatically screwy, as it were. But my favorite part about the comment was that she said " i wil defiantly be watching it tonight." Now, I don't know about you, but I rarely watch TV defiantly. I think that's something I should start doing though. I need to make a stand with my television watching!
