irst, I just discovered that my printer power cord is broken.

Like someone clipped it off...

How the ayche did that happen?

*Sigh*

Now I have to buy a new power cord.

But I want an all in one printer, so should I even bother? But I just bought some printer ink...

So it's waste $40 (for the ink) and get a new printer/scanner or wait for months (did I mention that I tend to procrastinate?) until I finally get online & find a power cord?

Anyway, I was just watching "The Girls Next Door".

Shut up. I like watching and knowing that even if I have sex with a different dude every week, I'll still never be as much of a ho as those bitches.

1st, Kendra said that she lost her virginity at 14!!!

OMG. I don't want to think about Evan having sex next year. OR this year. WHY do girls have sex when they don't even know their own bodies and the boys can't last for more than 10 seconds? What is the point of that?

Then one of the contenders for Playboy's 55th anniversary playmate said that her grandmother said that it was "Awesome" or something that she was trying out for that.

I'm 36 years old. I can't imagine my grandmother (or my mother, or any of my relatives) saying "Cool, go for it!" if I said I was trying out for Playboy.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?

I'm sure that a lot of women think that there's nothing wrong with posing naked. "We were all born that way." and other crap. Maybe they think it's empowering.

I just don't understand that mindset. I don't even like taking off my clothes for the damned doctor.

I'm only comfortable being naked in the shower or when I'm about to get laid. I'm a prude. I admit it.

Somebody please explain to me when being a freaking whoreish female became "Awesome."

Thanks.

"The Unit" was awesome this week. Did anyone else see it come on 40 minutes late and stay up to watch it?

I'm still waiting for CBS to just admit that NOTHING comes on when it's supposed to on Sunday nights so that I can go to sleep instead of flipping back to CBS every 5 minutes to see if it's come on yet. The only show I watch on CBS on Sundays is "The Unit". Change the day already. I don't give a phuuuuuuuuuuuuck about the other shows that come on. Especially not 60 minutes. (Though I did see Anderson Cooper race Michael Phelps. AC dove in and Phelps had to stay underwater and not use his hands at all for the entire lap. Phelps still beat him by a few seconds, LOL.)

Lastly, I'm thinking about shaving my hair off again. I last cut it off in 4/07. I loved it. I mean the maintenance. I could wash it every day in the shower. Normally, I wash it once a week and it takes forever & a day to dry.

I've been seeing so many black women with really short hair and it looks so good on them. I always felt like I had to wear makeup every day when I had no hair. With it out of the braids and shorter, I can dye it or whatever.

But as soon as I cut it, I'll miss my hair. Even if all I do is braid it.

Maybe I'll just take the braids out and relax it for a while...

*Sigh*

Andddd, it's raining. Turning into snow overnight.

Now, I don't live on the mountain, so any accumulation will be gone by the time Evan wakes up. Which would be fine except our county also includes some mountain areas and they will have snow or ice for several hours in the morning. The damned superintendent waits until the last second to cancel school. The last time it snowed, we didn't even get notified. The buses just never showed up.

Dumb bastard.

o I'm watching some of the crap I recorded Sunday night, and the first 12 minutes of "The Unit" is whatever came on before it.

Which means that I didn't get the last 15 minutes of the show I wanted to tape.

I didn't know until hours after it had recorded.

Now I have to watch it online.

I hate it when the networks forget about those of us with DVR and delay our shows for some shit that nobody watches.

So now I have to set "The Unit" to record for 15 minutes after it's supposed to go off, just in case.

I'm used to doing this for Sci-Fi network shows. "Eureka" always starts up to 15 minutes late. I'm used to setting things on MTV or VH1 to go 5 minutes over because those shows never start on time either and the crap gets cut off right before we find out who gets kicked off or whatever.

*sigh*

At least I was awake & watching when Bush had his speech, so I knew to set things to record over. I don't even know what was on tonight.

On another note.

I went ahead and added all the channels that will be active on 10/16 so that I can see if the DVR will record the shows I have programmed, or if I have to change them.

I happened to see the Krystal Square Off V Competitive Eating Competition that took place in Chattanooga. Kobayashi (the Japanese dude who used to always win) didn't win. He came in 3rd place. The man who won last year didn't even eat as many Krystal burgers as last year.

For you Yankees, Krystal is the same thing, IMO, as White Castle. For the non-Americans...I don't know what to tell you. Look it up.

Anyway, Kobayashi couldn't compete last year because he had some kind of jaw injury. I guess he hasn't gotten his mojo back. But it looks like he doesn't even chew anyway, so I don't get it.

Every time I hear the name "Kobayashi" I think about Kayser Soze in "The Usual Suspects". Kevin Spacey kicked bootie in that movie.

I'm out.

TV Shows

Watched Nip/Tuck's season premier last night. I don't really have anything to say about it, LOL. But then there wasn't any gross surgery. Jennifer Coolidge was funny. She always is, though.

House was good (dur). I loved it when House & Cuddy went into the room with the patient who had Mirror Syndrome. Apparently, when a patient has that, he imitates the "Alpha" in the room. So House is the Alpha. We already knew that. But now everybody else knows it too, LOL.

The Unit had that girl Mikayla (or whatever) from American Idol on as a "diva". At one point when she's supposedly singing live, the song said one thing & her mouth started to say another. Maybe her mouth actually completed the wrong word. I just can't believe they left that in there. Really bad editing. I never did like that girl. I wonder if it was type casting? And I hate that she stole that dude's poem and made it into a song and he got NO CREDIT. He can't sue. That sucks so bad. And it looks like he's going to die next week. :-(

I've continued to watch Salt N Pepa. They are SO opposite I can't believe they were ever friends. I'm sure that Cheryl (Salt) had changed a lot, but damn. It's also interesting that she says that Pep never listens but she's the one who talks so damned fast that Pep can't get a word in edgewise. Pep has always reminded me of my SIL. They have a lot of similarities. And I'm sure she'd be thrilled to know I think that, LOL. WTFever.

Have you noticed how many people get into the music business and then after a while they get really religious? I suppose that's better than Rehab. Prince & Vanity spring to mind immediately. I think she became a preacher or something. Crazy!

That's it, I'm thoo.
