Messing with Evan

I

like recording Evan without his knowledge.

Yesterday, when we went to the doctor, he learned that he has to wear the splint for at least 2 more weeks. So, of course, he takes it off all the time. Then he wonders why I won't let him go outside to play...

I don't think so...

Your Passion is Blue

You are a total dream in the bedroom. Sex is a fine art for you - and you're a total Picasso in your pleasure making. You like to build things up slowly, savoring each moment. And you'd never think of skipping foreplay or afterplay... they're part of the package.

What Color Is Your Passion?

I just had the strangest dream!

S

o I have to take Evan to the doctor for a check up on his fractured hand at 2.

As I said (maybe) before, this new Ultram ER (or whatever) that the doctor gave me for my arthritis seems to make me sleepy all day.

I fell asleep while watching the CSI marathon on Spike TV. The dream was so real that for a minute I thought it was true. Until the strange things started happening...

I was asleep and I didn't wake up until I heard the bus at 3:30 pm. So I jump up and run to the bathroom thinking "OMG! We're 90 minutes late and it's Friday. They might not even be there!"

While I'm in the bathroom, Evan comes in with his 2 cousins (11 yo & 5 yo), a girl I haven't seen since she was 7 (the girl that used to be beautiful and grew up to be unfortunate looking) and 2 other young kids that I don't even know.

They all crowd in to the bathroom while I'm sitting on the toilet with my panties around my ankles.

So I started screaming "EVAN! GET THEM OUT OF HERE! I'm on the toilet and we're late for the doctor!" (for some reason, we had no door on the bathroom).

Evan wasn't listening, neither were the other kids.

So I started pushing them out of the bathroom and screaming for my cousin who watches his nephews (11 & 5) while his sister is at work. He comes up and grabs 11 & 5 while I'm still pushing all of the other kids out of the bathroom (not very gently, either.) Finally I grabbed the girl who used to be beautiful and pulled her across my lap. I said "You know I love you, right? But I have to take Evan to the doctor so you'll have to come back some other time." She nodded. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and pushed her out more gently I had the other kids.

Then I woke up and looked at the clock. 11:58am, Thank Jaysus.

Freaky.

I've noticed that whenever I have retarded dreams about the bathroom, I wake up feeling like my bladder is about to burst.

I guess the crazy dreams are my body's way of saying "I have to urinate urgently, wake up you slothful whore!"

Spellbound

I

watched this movie on Ingrid Bergman Day on TCM. IMDb.com gives the plot as:

"A female psychiatrist protects the identity of an amnesia patient accused of murder while attempting to recover his memory."

It starts with Dr. Constance Petersen (Bergman) playing a relatively new psychiatrist at a mental hospital. With all the things her co-workers say about you, you understand that she's an "Ice Queen" and she never shows any emotions to her patients or her fellow doctors.

One day a new psychiatrist comes to work there, Dr. Anthony Edwardes (Peck).
Constance immediately develops a crush on Dr. Edwardes. He has strange reactions whenever he sees dark lines against a white background. Once he practically yells at Constance for making lines on the white tablecloth with her fork. He does this in front of all of his co-workers.

One day, when all of the doctors are operating on one of Edwardes' patients, he passes out. It is then that everyone begins to suspect that Edwardes isn't who he says he is.

While she's taking care of Edwardes after his 'spell', Constance compares the signature in his book to the signature on a note that he left her. She sees that they are not the same. After he leaves the hospital, she tracks him down. She realizes that he is not Dr. Edwardes, but she believes that he has amnesia and a guilt complex about something that happened to him in his childhood.

While the police are looking for this "Fake Dr. Edwardes" (they believe that he murdered the real Edwardes and took over his identity), Constance takes him to the home of one of her mentors. She is determined to help him remember who he really is, where the guilt complex comes from, and what really happened to Dr. Edwardes.

This movie had 3½ stars in the guide, and I would agree with that. It was odd seeing Gregory Peck so young. I'm used to "Atticus Finch". This young Peck reminds me of Anthony Perkins.

Whatever.

There was a twist in the movie. When it got close to the end, and Constance had finally helped him figure out his name and what had happened to the real Dr. Edwardes, I thought that the movie was over. It wasn't.

I liked the twist and the ending. I enjoyed the entire movie even though I kept thinking "Is Ingrid Bergman Isabella Rossellini's mother? She sure does look like her!" (Yes, Bergman had an affair with director Roberto Rossellini.)

I have at least one more Bergman film to watch & review. It's with Cary Grant. I can't wait! :-)

Bad girl with a heart of gold. You are smart, sexy, and strong willed. You aren't against stealing another girl's man... If he's better off with you!

Are You More Like Jennifer or Angelina?

I'm not a bad girl.

:-)

I wonder if I remember what happened Sunday?

S

o Sunday MD had to help us do the laundry because Evan's arm is fractured, and I can't carry a basket and walk at the same time.

I had asked her to help us whenever it was that Evan fractured his hand and told her she could pick the date and time (I was hoping she'd just offer to do his laundry herself, but no such luck.) She decided on Sunday at 6pm.

I offered to drive so that I wouldn't have to get all the laundry detergent, fabric softener, bleach, etc out of my trunk and put it in her car. Plus she always has a big ass cooler and lots of shit she's bought and hasn't taken into her house yet. Sunday she had a 24 pack of Nestle Pure Life water that she had been saving for Evan to carry into her house. HA!

Anyway, she insisted on driving. (Because she thinks I'll have a seizure or something and kill us all. Nevermind the fact that I drive myself wherever I go and haven't had a crash yet....).

So we had a little train going. Evan grabbed the basket with his left hand, she grabbed the other side of that basket and grabbed another basket with her right hand and I grabbed the other end with both of my hands to use it as a type of walker.

The problem it that is that other people invariably move too fast (so they're pulling me, increasing the likelihood that I will fall face first) or move too slow (which means that I'll bump into them or trip over my feet and bust my ass).

Whatever, we got in the laundromat with no problems.

She made calls on her miniscule cell phone while Evan & I sat on a bench and talked. It is so weird that he and I have so much fun at the laundromat just talking when both of us hate being there and it always puts me in a bad mood.

At one point, Evan snarted (sneezed and farted) and it cracked me up. It was so loud that MD heard it even though she was 100 feet away in her car.

So, for some reason, MD was in a singing mood. The entire time we were in the car, she was singing along with the music. No, she cannot sing. She's completely tone deaf, but we said nothing.

After we finished the laundry, I asked her to take me to Foodland so that I could get some bread and stuff. Normally when I go there, I either hold Evan's arm while I walk to the electric cart or he gets me a basket that I can use as a walker because they have a hill and a potholey parking lot (read: Potential Death Trap). That day, Evan took off because MD had asked him to throw some stuff away.

Me - Don't leave me! You have to help me.
MD - You want to hold on to me?
Me - Sure.

So, she thinks I'm her mother or something and holds me really close to her and really tight while she's singing some Bob Marley song.

Me - Could you lower your arm so that I'm not pressed up against your boobie?
She - *lowering arm & giggling* Ok *continuing to sing*

We were halfway up the hill and I couldn't take it her singing or her death grip on my arm anymore.

Me - Fine. That's fine, I can make it now! *Shuffling away as fast as I could*

She and Evan found it amusing.

I did not.

So we got what we needed from da sto & went home. Made another laundry basket train to get the crap into the house & then she came in to watch Big Brother.

I'm sure I've forgotten something.

OH! She's always talking about wanting a "friend". So while we were at the laundromat I saw this 65 year old man & told MD I was going to set her up with him. Turns out she knew him. He was a lawyer or something.

She said he was too skinny anyway. *rolling eyes*

I told her that in my experience, really skinny men have huge penises.

Evan ran away at that point & she said "Angelika! You're awful!" in that mommy tone that she has.

Did I tell y'all about the day at Wal-Mart when I was sitting at the pharmacy waiting for my Xanax prescription & Evan was sitting beside me? Some old (80 yo) man was sitting behind Evan facing away from us.

Evan - What are you looking at?
Me - I was just looking for that vibrator thing that goes on your finger that Trojan makes. They didn't have it. They had a vibrating ring, but since I don't have a penis, I don't think it will do me any good.

I said this because I was just in "one of those moods" and I knew the old man could hear me.

I could see him turning around and gaping at me after I said that.

HA!

He should have been minding his own business!

:-)

Notorious

Y

esterday was Ingrid Bergman day on TCM. I have 3 more movies to watch, but I started with Notorious starring Bergman and Cary Grant & directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Grant played TR Devlin an Agent (they never specified what agency it was) for the US. His job was to hire Alicia Huberman (Bergman) to do something to help catch Nazis working against America. They chose her because, in the beginning of the movie, her father was put in prison for being a Nazi Agent/Treason and they knew that she was totally against his illegal activities and that she loved America because they had bugged her apartment.

So anyway, Devlin shows up at Alicia's going away party after her father is put into prison. She is leaving Miami because paparazzi (they didn't call it that in the movie) was constantly asking her questions about her father and did she know and why didn't she testify at his trial, etc.

After the party, Alicia is wasted and asks Devlin if he wants to go for a ride. She insists on driving. They get pulled over, but Devlin shows the officer his ID and says that he will take care of Alicia. They didn't get a ticket, but Alicia is suspicious of why and freaks out on Devlin because she knows that he's some kind of Agent.

Blah blah.

He tells her that America needs her to help catch the rest of her father's cohorts. Neither of them know exactly what she needs to do yet, but she agrees.

They go to Cuba (I think) and fall in love *rolling eyes* while waiting for Devlin to get a call from his superior.

Finally, Devlin finds out that Alicia is supposed to seduce or ingratiate herself with a man named Alexander Sebastian. In the past, Sebastian had been in love with Alicia and they'd even been engaged. Of course, her previous relationship with him will make it easier for her to find out information about him and his illegal dealings.

Sebastian is suspicious of Alicia's relationship with Devlin. He is sure that Devlin is in love with her and that she might possibly be in love with him too. The only way he will continue to see her is if she marries Sebastian ASAP.

Alicia goes to speak to Devlin and his superior and tells them about Sebastian's conditions. She's looking for Devlin to say that she absolutely cannot marry Sebastian, but he doesn't. He's angry with her because he believed that she was "innocent" and never having told him about her previous relationship with Sebastian.

So she marries Sebastian and starts snooping. The only place she cannot get into in the house is the wine cellar. So she has Sebastian throw a party & invite Devlin under the premise that if Devlin sees her happy with her husband, he'll stop harassing her.

She steals the key for the wine cellar from her husband's key ring & she and Devlin go in to the wine cellar and find a bottle that is full of some kind of sand. Devlin accidentally knocked the bottle over so they try to clean it up as best they can. Before they can get back to the party, Sebastian is coming down the stairs so Devlin grabs Alicia and starts kissing her & whispers "Push me away!".

At the party, Sebastian is suspicious. He notices that his key for the wine cellar is gone. The next day, when his key is miraculously back on his key ring, he goes to the cellar and finds the remains of the broken bottle and knows that Alicia is an agent.

He and his mother hatch a plan to slowly poison Alicia to death so that 1) none of his criminal cohorts will find out that he's married to an American Agent and kill him and 2) so that there will be no suspicion of murder if she's sick for a long time before she dies.

That's all I'm saying.

The movie was all right. It had 3½ stars in the guide. The pace wasn't as slow as some of the other Hitchcock movies I've seen. There were no long sequences where nothing was happening other than the score. But, once again, Hitchcock just tied it all up in a bow too fast. They're building up to this dramatic conclusion and then the "The End" frame pops up. There was no pay off, IMO.

All the freaking "passionate kisses" got on my nerves too. It was like watching a Harlequin Romance book on screen.

*Sigh*

Whatever, man. I'm really tired today. I want to be in bed right now. But I still have 3 more freaking movies to watch. :-(

Our Day Yesterday

W

ell, we took videos to show you what our day was like yesterday. This will take forever to load...I guess. Watch them if you want to.
















That is all!

New Reality Shows!

The Cho Show on VH1 (Thursdays @ 11pm EST) starring Margaret Cho.

There are so many new shows coming on this season that I don't even know about most of them. The Cho Show is one of them. Luckily, I happened to catch the beginning of the premier episode. Margaret was winning the Korean of the Year award. She didn't know if she even wanted to go to the awards because for her entire career, she's felt like Koreans hated her. She wasn't, according to them, Korean enough. I can totally identify with that, because black people (when I was in Jr. High & High School in Maryland) told me that I wasn't black enough.

As if anyone looking at me wouldn't instantly categorize me as black. But apparently you aren't black if you don't speak ebonics & have hair styles that are in "Black Hair" magazine.

Whatever.

I really enjoyed the show & Margaret. I will be recording the entire season (which will be too short). I never knew anything about her except that she made fun of her mom in her act (her parents are in the show too, so we finally get to hear her mother, LOL.)

Loved it! Here's a clip.

Next was Glam God starring Vivica A. Fox on VH1 (Thursdays at 10 pm EST)

It's like Project Runway for Fashion Stylists. Wasn't blow away by it. It looks like a show for Vivica Fox to show off all of her wigs & outfits. I don't think I'll be watching it again unless nothing else is on. Here's the trailer...

Next was Jacked on A&E (Thursdays at 10 pm EST) about the Auto Theft Task Force in Newark, New Jersey (at least, I think it's in only one town).

I don't know what to say about this. It was not as exciting interesting, to me, as Parking Wars. But it was...ok. I guess if you like Cops, you might like this? I don't know. I'll watch it if nothing else is on.

There was no easy way for me to embed a video clip of the show, so you'll have to go to the site to check it out.

The last new show I saw was The Principal's Office on TruTV (Thursdays at 9 pm EST).

Loved it! I really admire people who work in the educational field, because I could not do it without getting arrested. Principal Steve Halter (Booneville High School in Arkansas) could be any principal in my town. There are 2 other principals (I think) one in Connecticut & one in New Jersey.

I will definitely be recording this season. And making Evan watch it too to see what kind of stupid crap can get you into trouble and tell him not to do it, LOL.

If you have children, or have ever been a child you should definitely check it out. It's very entertaining and educational too! :-)

That is all!

Evan is a bad, bad, evil boy!

All is well, I have restored my desktop to my original HUGH LAURIE background.

I am Winter. And Water! :-)

Your Power Element is Water

Just seeing if this Yahoo! Buzz thing works.

Edit: OH! I forgot to take this down, LOL. Yahoo Buzz is like Digg. Except for Yahoo.

My Knee

S

o, Monday night my right (non-'special') knee was hurting so bad I couldn't even go to sleep.

In spite of the PM pain pills. In spite of the Icy Hot gel. In spite of the heating pad. In spite of the Ben Gay. In spite of the aspirin. In spite of the Naproxen Sodium.

Do you get the picture?

It hurt so bad that I wanted to cry but I didn't because I knew all I'd get was a stuffy nose and a headache.

So yesterday, I called MD at 3:30 and asked her if she had any Hydrocodone left (Even though I am allergic) from when she had her last gout flare up. All she had was a Darvocet from 2004. I didn't care.

So she brought it to me & I took it & put an ice pack on my knee. (Finally remembered I had them, LOL.)

She ordered a pizza for us Evan. Then she watched Al Green on youtube.

Whatever.

Today my knee still hurts, but not so bad that I want to cry. Thank you, Baby Jesus!

Did anyone else see Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood? Last night was a clip show with their favorite moments from the season.

They had a memorial service for Tori's dog, Mimi La Rue.

...

People were crying and shit.

...

Dean could barely keep it together while he read his eulogy.

Famous people are insane.

Anyway, I finally finished watching Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte with Bette Davis.

It took me about 5 days to finish it.

I may or may not review it.

But right now I'm going to get back in bed with the ice pack for my knee. I just wanted to say "Hi" and leave you with this picture of Capt. Jack Sparrow Jr.

Stolen Meme!

This one's for Relax Max

You Are Scary

You even scare scary people sometimes!

How Scary Are You?

Apparently, you have reason to be afraid! ;-p

More Skulls

S

aturday we went to get Evan's eyes checked. The doctor (I like him, I think he's great with kids) said that maybe it was time for Evan to get contacts.

...

You can guess my response.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I know grown people who get eye infections because they don't take care of their contacts the way they should. Evan wouldn't even shower if I didn't make him. I will NOT get him contacts just so he can scratch his cornea trying to get them out or not clean them and get eye infections.

Anyway, afterwards we got 3 t-shirts and 2 pair of pants with the money that MD gave him. I convinced him to get a red t-shirt because he looks good in red. He did! *faint* Then he got 2 skull t-shirts. *sigh*.

When will this Goth/Emo/Depressing phase end?

Just call me Sherloquita

You Are 5: The Investigator

You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it. At Your Best: You are sharp, inventive, and creative. You have the skills to lead the world. At Your Worst: You are reclusive, weird, and a bit paranoid. Your Fixation: Greed Your Primary Fear: Being useless or incompetent Your Primary Desire: Being competent and needed Other Number 5's: Bill Gates, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Bjork, and Stephen Hawking.

What Number Are You?

Went to Wal-Mart with MD.

S

he said "You aren't getting a lot of stuff, are you? Because I don't want to be there long."

Me - No, I just need some bread and poster board for Evan.

So she picks me up at 10:30 am. On the way, she tells me a story about my brother. Apparently, he went to his wife's house (They're separated...again...for the 17th time. *rolling eyes*) and asked her if she & DD11 wanted to go out to lunch. They both said they were busy. SIL is working from home this week (She gets a different job every other month.) and DD11 is being home schooled this week (My SIL is the one who decided to leave my Bro & go to PA when my oldest niece was in her first semester of her SENIOR YEAR of HS. She's the flakiest woman I've ever known. This home schooling will not last long. I need to punch the idiot in her face.)

Anyway, Bro's response was "Fine, Niggas!"

So he goes to see my oldest niece (The one who looks the most like me except skinny, LOL.) and ask her if she wants to go to lunch. She said no.

Bro - Fine, Nigga!
Niece - I'm not a nigga, I'm a princess. (OMG, she's just like me!)
Bro - If you're a princess, I'm a king. I dub you Nigga Daughter.
Niece - LOL.

See? Insanity runs in my family.

Entyway, we get to the Mart of Wal and I get on an electric cart and go get my bread and poster board.

Then I proceeded to wait for 45 motherfreaking minutes for Miss "You're not going to be long, are you?" to finish her shopping.

I saw a dude who looked like Fred Durst.
I saw a chick who looked like that girl that Kurev (sp?) from Grey's Anatomy was sleeping with. The one who thought she was pregnant and tried to kill herself.
I saw a woman who had on some tight ass sandles that were cutting into her cankles so bad I'm surprised her feet didn't fall off.
I saw a woman who's hair looked like a mushroom. It was as if she'd made a long ponytail, and then plopped it on top of her head and just let it sit there while she Aqua Netted it to death.

I really need to get a camera phone!

Then MD generously bought me a Key Lime Milkquake from Krystal. OMG, if you haven't tasted that, you need to. It tastes exactly like Key Lime Pie. There are bits of the graham cracker crust in there. So delicious. I don't know how many calories or how much fat is in there (I don't want to know), but it was soooooooooo good. I need to stay away from Krystal or I'll be getting them every day!

Then MD asked me how much Evan's new shoes would cost, I told her "About 40$ the last time I got them a couple of years ago." so she gave me $60 to get him some more. :-)

MD - Tell Evan that he's NOT special. I don't even know why I'm giving him money to get new shoes. He didn't even help me clean off my patio.
Me - I'll tell him, but he won't believe me.

Every time she buys him something, she says "I don't even know why I'm spending money on you. Do you think you're special?" and he always says "Yes. I'm your only grandson in this state!"

She doesn't know that I found some shoes at Wal-Mart that look just like the Chuck Taylors for $11 and got them the other day. But I will use the money to buy him some new shirts & crap tomorrow, when we go for his eye appointment. :-)

I had to get him size 8½! His foot is officially bigger than mine now! But at least he's still a shortie, LOL.

That is all!
