KATE HUDSON'S AMAZING MUSICAL DEBUT!

____________________________________________________________________________
She's hot, she can act and as we've just discovered... she can sing!
Rom-com queen, Kate Hudson has made her musical debut with Ron Fair's remix of 'Cinema Italiano' for her latest film, NINE.
The video clip for the song, which was written exclusively for the film, shows a sexy glittery Kate seductively showing off her dancing and singing talents.
NINE is the vibrant and provocative new musical from director Rob Marshall (Chicago) based on the seven-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name. It has an all-star cast more dazzling than the array of sequined costumes featured in the film.
This musical extravaganza follows the life of Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), a world-famous film director, as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing relationships with the numerous women in his life. The women include his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penélope Cruz), his film-star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), a young American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth ("Fergie") and his mother (Sophia Loren).

All i can say is WOW! - She can act, dance, sing and she is HOT, She's got it all!!
What do you think?
Just a quick note in a moment of clarity. To update why I'm not online so much.
I have had the flu the last three days and it is the first time I have felt OK (well alive I should say) at all in quite a few days. So I'll be back in bed in a few minutes. Probably the H1N1 from what I am told, so I will be in bed at least for 2 or 3 more.
I did end up watching (as much as I could concentrate on) Point Pleasent on the Chiller TV Cable Channel. What a weird show. It was produced and created by Marti Noxon! I'll have to check it out for real once I'm up and around again. Also I've been watching the first season of Buffy again for the fourth time.
Hard to concentrate.
Be good and I'll check you all out later.
Thanks,
Jeffery
Just wanted to post a couple of pics of my Merlin Birthday Cake that my wonderful mum made for my Birthday on November 20th:
the levels are working (again) apparently as I've gained a new level, woohoo! If there were more info to submit to some of my guides as well as another actor guide I'm trying to get I'd probably level up faster. LOL.
have been around some, checking up on my guides 'n the forums but not very active, 2009 is a sad year for me because the week before Thanksgiving I had to put my precious kitty Cleo down --IDK what she had, couldn't afford to get her fix nor bare her anymore pain 'n suffering she was going through-- I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about her now, thanksgiving wasn't the same without her and now Christmas, new years & beyond will not be the same without my precious kitty.

I miss her more then baseball! :'(

Well... I'm not very happy about it, but since I'm gonna spend the day with some of my best friends I guess it's not that bad, right?
How did you spend your last birthday??
HUGE HUGS!!!![]()
Ok sooo much has happended since I last posted. Sorry I never posted a part two I will try and fill in most of what has happened Its going to probably be a long one....
Well I dont remember the exacts of what happended but Rocky and i talked more and I did end up going up to visit him and sent two nights, (making me have to rush and last minute pack everything for college the day before I left) We didnt really talk much while I was up there, we mostly did other stuff.
Then I moved to college on friday, I was not ready for how much I was going to miss everyone, espesally rocky. Over the summer we sepnt everyday together and now were are over and hour apart, its hard. I ended up going up and visiting him again the first weekend after i moved in. I believe it was this trip that he keep trying to say the '3 words' couldnt I told him it was ok that I knew what he was trying to say and I felt the same and when he was reasy to same it I was ready to hear it. Well after that every time we were on the phone i felt like i was going to say it. He said he didnt want me to say it first cuz he knew that if I said it then he would defently say it back but he wanted to say it when he was totaly sure and ready to say it.
The next weekend he told me that he was goign to be in our home town and didnt know if he was going to come see me. I got a bit upset. I deiceded if he wasnt coming I didnt want to be at school for the weekend so I called my mom then called him and said i was goign to be at home and he said he was going to come down, so i said fine id stay only if he promised that if i still wanted to go home when he left that hed take me, and he said yes.
He came down and long story a bit short I ended up wanting to go home so he took me. On the way we ended up having a talk and I said some stuff bout wanting to trust him and give my all and trust he wont hurt me but the truth is he has hurt me and I ended up crying and he said nothing and I got sick on the side of the highway. He asked me if I wanted to stay the night with him and I said yes. So I spent night with him and his friends hanging out.
That night about 4am I started not being able to breathe. I woke Rocky up. I went out side to get some air and ended up blacking out twice rocky grabed me and put me in the car and took me to his house. I started to get better then got a lot worse. He went and got his step mom and she said to take me to the ER. Rocky picked me up ran to the car and through me and sped to the er. I sept form 5ish till 7ish in there and they couldnt find anyhting wrong with me so they discharged me. we went back to my house and crashed then I woke up again and could breathe. I went back and they did some more test and basicly said an repsitory infection and panic attacks. I got an enhalor and sent home.
I didnt go back to school for the week and then went up to Rocky the next weekend. We were laying in bed when he kept mubbleing something I knew what he was trying to say but I said I needed to hear the actual words and he said 'I love you' and I just stared at him. I felt bad cuz I could say it back and he was a little upset but, later I said it. he enjoys saying sometimes how I hesitated.
Well we are good now he says he loves me at leats 5 tiems when we are on the phone. College I really really hard. I was thinking and even started the application to Allegheny (where Rocky goes) but now hes not sure if he wants to be there either, but thats a whole other post.
Oh and now on top of everyhting I am have major side effects with my tyroid medicine. I guess it says 'call your dr right away if you have any of these symtoms' and I have 5 out of 6 so I have to call back tomorrow and talk to them. the first time I called on monday and said I was having problems they increased my meds. I was mad so was my mom and Rocky. I mean come on I started havimg the problems when the incerased it what is incerseing it again going to do but make it worse?
Well fall break is starting on friday. Im so happy to go home and see my friends, it my highschool homecomeing too so we all are goign to go to that for old times sake, then on sat Im going to go up and spend the rest of my break with Rocky.
I miss talking to you guys soo much and hearing you advice.
love you all, *HUGE MEGA HUGS*
Before I get into this verrrrrrrrrrry angry rant I like to say I do not blame mods for why I am angry. And for not following the rules I dont mean something silly like accidenetly double posting. The site at times has not allowed members to edit, etc. Anyhoo, now on to the show ......
I am realllllly beyond angry. Insert any and every possible swear word right now. Tonight was the last straw. New threads in which the topic should have been in a spoiler thread. I am not spoiler free for that show but I respect those who are, and what was done is f****** up. I would beyond love to mention names. Be a nasty son of a b*** and rant off them. But I wont. Likely it would violate some rule I am not aware of. And like others I like to follow rules. I am not perfect. far from it. But if I have a question I ask someone who would know or who to ask.
One thing I will say is what forum I am speaking of. CSI Miami. There has been issues I have had on others but at least up to this point I just feel they are pointless threads and should have been done as either as a blog or asked/posted in a current thread. Nothing that at least violates spoiler rules. That forum is NCIS. So NCIS thread poster members, I beg of you think b4 you start a new thread and for the love of all holy do *not* start one that could be considered a spoiler. When in doubt PM a mod or post it in the spoiler thread. I will report you. And trust me I dont like doing that. B/c I know I will make enimies for doing it. But if I have to be the bad guy b/c others might not want to speak up, I am honored to do so.
I have done a rant on this before. Dont know if the blog got deleted when blogs disappeared but tonight was the absolute topper. And some wil lbe wondering why I am being so melodramtic and speaking out. B/c it has to stop. And what many of you dont know if I have thought many times to leav this site b/c of it. And it may come to that. The shear disrespect to others and what almost seems like stupidity of some posters. And I dont like to think either of any of you.
I wish I knew what to say or do to prevent this or stop this. B/c I really do believe if more spoke out or sent PM's to the mods this could be better controlled. I know Mods have a life outside of controlling the threads and they cant quickly make it all better. That's why I dont blame any of you.
So I beg each and every person that reads this whether you comment or not think about what you are doing. And let you mods know what is going on. Please!!!
End of rant b/c there is nothing more I can say.
Can't wait to be back on the threads chatting with you guys again!

Hello, hello!
No, rumors of my death have been greatly exagerated.
How are you my friends? I have missed you terribly. RL (real life) has been a hectic B for the last 10 months. Things seem to be settling down a bit and that's given me a some time to visit and say"
HEY & LOVE YOU & MISS YOU!
I hope my 'children' have been behaving---Mom would hate to have to ground them as her first act back.
My RPG'rs, I have missed you and can't wait to see what you've done with Flasha. I promise to post a longer blog soon; however, RL is paging.
Love you! Suz
Hello Eleventh Hour fans.
I am very disappointed by CBS's decision of cancelling Eleventh Hour. An average of 12 million viewers (and better demos than Cold Case, which, by the way, got renewed) was not enough to give this show a second season.
Who can forget the wonderful chemistry between Jacob Hood and Rachel Young, all those wonderful conversations they had in which they shared so much of their lives? Who was eager to see what was next after that beautiful end scene in 'Medea'? And the addition of Felix, the great performance by Rufus Sewell (thank you England for him!) and Marley's sweetness and strength?
Well, we're not ready to let it go. And that's why we created the Eleventh Hour Resurrection Campaign. I invite you to go to this link and help us make this happen. If we don't give this a try, we will always wonder what could've happened.
http://forum.planet-hood.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=52
Please help us. It will only take you a few minutes. And invite anyone you can, your friends, your boyfriend, girlfriend, brothers, sisters, neighbors, parents, teachers, enemies and strangers.
Eleventh Hour is a unique show. It entertains and makes you think. We can't let this go that easily.
This isn't over 'til it's over.
Thanks,
Lu
tv.com is being annoying again with the html errors...
Hi all!
First of all:
If you have twitter, follow me. http://twitter.com/saxa246
And visit my icon journal at http://saxa246.livejournal.com
How great have the season finales have been so far? Especially Lost & CSI:NY!! I don't know how the hell I can wait for the new seasons to start!!!
Now, why did I post these just like that? Well, first he's a cute guy, and quite hot. Okay, who am I kidding, he's HOT! But the real reason is that my mother told me she wanted to go see the new Star Trek movie yesterday, and I promised her we would go see it, then we started talking about the Star Trek series, - I've never seen an episode of any series, or any movie -. And I've learned something new about my mom. She's a Trekkie. She has seen every single episode of every series, some of them more than twice, and every movie, she can even quote from them -of course in Turkish. I swear to God, that woman never ceases to suprise me. ![]()
I came across some Bart Simpson goodies today and thought I'd share them with you in my blogs... The part when he writes that sentences on the black board is one of my favorite things in the whole The Simpsons world.
I will not carve gods.
I will not spank others.
I will not aim for the head.
I will not barf unless I'm sick.
I will not expose the ignorance of the faculty.
I saw nothing unusual in the teacher's lounge.
I will not conduct my own fire drills.
Funny noises are not funny.
I will not snap bras.
I will not fake seizures.
Well, other than these, life in this part of the world is boring as hell and hard. How have you been doing? Yes you. The one who's reading this. I want you to comment. Look directly in my eyes. I know you can't see them, just imagine them. Alright. You're feeling calm and happy. And suddenly you are feeling the urge to comment. Just do it!
Take care,
Love *hugs*

So today, well tomorrow technically, will be a year since I joined tv.com.
I'm still trying to wrap my heads around this. A whole year? It seems like just yesterday I was that annoying newbie that double posted and went OT.
Oh wait...I still go OT...never mind! : P
The other day I went all the way back through my old blogs and I can't believe I wrote some of them. I don't know what you guys thought of me back then, but some of the things I posted, nothing in particular, but , well I annoyed myself reading back over them, so I want to thank you first of all for putting up with me!
This is not to say I'm not annoying now, I'm sure I am, I just hope I'm a tad more bearable!
I would like to say I've grown up a lot more in the past year than I have any other year.
You guys. Oh gosh, I literally don't know where to start.
Since I find music so amazing at putting my feelings into words, I'm going to post lyrics throughout this blog.
I like the way you're not afraid, you've got the world planned in your mind , people say you cannot do it, but they don't know a friend like you
I suppose I'll start at the beginning. I first joined because my obsession with CSI: NY was getting to be more like a medical condition than just a favourite TV show.
I started during my Easter holidays. That was a time when I felt as though I was alone in this world. I know it sounds so stupidly cheesy but it's true. I hadn't seen my friends for a while, I'd sort of shut myself off I suppose. But then I came on here.
So you lost yourself, so you lost your way, found life through someone else, but you threw it all away.
I was somehow lucky enough to have you let me into your lives, and I am never going to stop being thankful for that.
I have never not been myself on here. For some reason, I felt myself open up to you all, I felt myself not caring about being vulnerable with you because I knew you would never let me down.
When I'm with anybody else, it's so hard to be myself, and only you can tell.
I feel like you all know me better than my "Real World" friends do. Though I feel strange using the term "Real World" now because you are my real world friends. I could not be happier about that fact.
I've never been good at the whole making friends thing, I'll always say something awkward or stupid on first meeting, so I guess it was probably easier on here cos I could actually think about what I was saying to you before I typed it!
I don't want this to be one of those "you know who you are" blogs, because you might not know, you might not know just how important you are to me. That said, when I name names, I tend to forget someone, not because they're not as important, just because I'm forgetful like that.
So now I am going to name people, but if you're not listed, don't think it's because I don't love you, it's just because I'm a bit awful at things like this.
You seem to know the way, to turn my frown upside down, yeah you always know what to say, to make it feel like everything's okay.
The Wendy Bunch You really do know who you are. Char, Lottie, Leila, Ellen, Jenne, Heather and Kris. If there is one thing that I have to look forward to in my life, the road trip is it. I can't literally put into words how excited I am for it, because I know it'll happen, because I'm going to make it happen. You have all got so many qualities in you that add up to this one astounding group of people and there's not much I feel I can add to that group to make it any better. So I'm sort of the girl in the corner watching you and loving you and occasionally making a very blonde remark. We've been through a lot together, what with "The Black Weeks" as we've taken to calling them and everything else life throws at us. There is a certain strength in me I cannot call my own, because I know it comes from all of you. A text, An LJ post, a stupid blog, that's all I need to make me smile. That's all I ever need. Thank you for making "Wendy" mean what it does. Thank you for giving me you. I love you.
And I think to myself, it's a beautiful night, and I know everything is gonna be alright,. Yes I know everything is gonna be alright.
BM, Gwen & JJ I call you guys my "internet big sisters", and it's possibly the most apt description. You are the kind of big sisters I wish I had, you give me advice when I need it and a good foot tapping when I need it come to that. You are all funny, sweet and caring and just downright amazing! Thank you for the letters, for the cards, for the postcards, for the comments and for the words. Thank you for always being someone to talk to on the TIU thread, thank you for listening to me when I don't know when to shut up. Thank you for being the best role models I could ask for. Thank you for giving me three wonderful women to aspire to be. Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! I love you,
It just takes some time little girl you're in the middle of the ride, everything, everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be alright.
Hayley You're pretty amazing aren't you? I want to thank you for being someone I can text pretty much whenever, even though I know it takes you while to respond, it's always something to look forward to. I love you so much for sending me that card when you heard about my Dad. I love you for texting me episode synopsises at the beginning of the season. I love you for your crazy Twilight obsession, which I am understanding more and more every day. Thanks for that by the way. You are going to go so far in life, I can tell. You don't have to take me word for it, but when you get to that point in your life when you make an outstanding achievement, I want you to remember this and remember that I always knew you could do whatever you wanted when you put your mind to it. Thank you. I love you.
I'll follow you where you're leading, to the first sweet taste of freedom, you got me running baby, wild at heart.
Brina I'm not sure if you're going to get the chance to read this, but I wanted to include you, because you have been a great friend to me. I fell in love with fanfiction after reading your story "Secrets" and promptly read about 7 other ones. Thank you for convincing me to go and write my own fanfiction. That whole story would not have been possible without you so thank you so much for helping me discover my love for writing. Writing is now my greatest love, and I could not have discovered that without you. You're such an amazing writer Brina, everything you have ever written has blown me away. Never ever stop writing. Okay? Thank you so much. I love you.
Patry and Stacy and Maria Thank you both so much for the endless amounts of laughs you give me on the TUI thread. Stacy, thank you for constantly leaving Carmine shaped brownies; you know I love you for it! Patry, thank you for the Christmas card, it was so lovely of you. Thank you both a crazy earth shatteringly amount. For being so awesome! Thank you. I love you.
A year has come and gone. I've already posted a "new year" blog so I feel there's not much else to say.
Oh, yes.
I lost my way a bit at the start of this year and what helped me through, and what is still helping me heal now, is knowing I have friends like you. You are what keeps me going, knowing that you cared enough when everything went wrong to PM me. You don't know how much you do for me. Even when I'm not online, knowing is all I need.
So thank you thank you thank you. I'm sorry you had to read through all my ramblings, but I figured, such a milestone deserved a long blog. Now I need to see if tv.com will let me post one of such size! J
I love you all so much, and I go through every day wishing that someday I will meet you all in real life. Someday.
It was my birthday on Wednesday. I had a great time. Plus, I can drive now! (finally)
I'm going to Germany in a week for a week, to do a work experience over there. Apparently, people normally get things like shops or schools. So when I opened the envelope telling me where I was working, I nearly died because...
I'm working at Dortmund Zoo!!! They could've have picked a better placement for me if I'd hand-picked it myself. Wow, wow, wow! My mum says they'll need to check my bag on the way back, to see if I'm sneaking home any lion cubs or tiger cubs.
Well, I managed to survive another week in the rat race. Technically, it was only four days since I took Monday off from work. The weather has gotten colder and we have more snow on the way. I'll believe it when I see it. We have the most sophisticated weather technology and yet our meteorologists can't accurately predict the weather. Truth be told, I love snow. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to get into my snow suit and play in the snow. Now that I'm older, I don't wear a snow suit but I still love to be outside in the snow.
We found out a few weeks ago, that no one at the store will be getting a raise this year. If that weren't exciting enough, the Replenishment Team and Pricing Team will be restructured at some point during the coming year.
The Replenishment team will have two full time people and the rest will be part time. Pricing will have two full time people and one part time person. Since there are four of us on the team, someone will be out of a job. My attitude is, what ever will be will be.
Mom called me up tonight to tell me that she's getting me a lazar printer for my birthday. Gee, thanks ma. I like nothing better than knowing what I'm getting in advance. Yes, I'm another year older on Tuesday and maybe another year wiser. Yeah, right. For those of you who may be in a festive party mood, I have supplied some cake and refreshments-which is all I can afford on my budget. Not to worry, after President Obama's stimulus takes effect on April 1, I will have an extra 15$ per paycheck.
God, I'm so excited. I'll be sure not to spend it all in one place.
Have fun and please, share the cake. There's plenty for everyone.

What would we be without the ability to find humor in life? Laughter can make us feel better. I start each day be reading the comics on my computer. Starting the day with a chuckle makes me feel good.

Now, here is a list especially for Jordina. She tagged me on Facebook to come up with 25 things about myself, which in all honesty wasn't easy. I added a few extra thingies so have fun getting to know me better.
I hate the sound of my voice.
When I was four years old, I had a turtle named Nixon.

My only two celebrity crushes were on:

and

hmmmm...That's a tough one. I guestimate the photo was from back in the mid 60's. He;s the guy Carlie Simon may have been referring to in her 1970 song, "Your So Vein." He and his famous sister are both academy award winners. I've been drooling over him since I saw Bonnie and Clyde. His name is Warren Beatty and he turns 73 on March 30. IMO, he still looks great.

Well, I'm off to finish a mystery book that 's due back at the library on Sunday.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
I didn't know where else to put this really. So I thought this would be the best place. I wondered if someone was able to make me a banner for my profile of my 2 favourite ships please. I would be very greatful and will of course credit the person who makes it.
Stacey xx.
As I was sitting with my back it was awkward for me to look over to his table...but I did few times because I was drawn to him...and I didn't know why...He was sitting alone so I thought that he was waiting for someone, probably his girlfriend...he was texting something on his mobile...but time passed and nobody came...
After some time I remembered where I knew him from...we went to primary school together but only for couple of years because he moved...so I told my friend that I think I know this guy sitting opposite to her and she said that he's been looking over at our table all the time , well actually staring, and that she doesn't know him... then I was sure, it was HIM...
I haven't seen him for ten years or so...he changed, but then I changed too...that's way I didn't recognize him at first...he looked like a man now...
When we were kids, actually teenagers...we were always bickering/fighting about something in front of others,and getting on each others nerves...we weren't best of friends but we weren't enemies either...we were in the same cla'ss and moved in the same socity...I help him with some subjects in school, couple of times...
Thinking back now I remember that someone was teasing me that he had a crush on me...and it really annoyed me because well, he annoyed me...He wasn't popular in school because in a way he was different from others, among other things never going with the flow but he wasn't a nerd or a bully just different...One time after a lot of discussing the whole cla'ss finally managed to agree on something very important for our cla'ss but he was against it and he didn't have a good, vaild reason, so it failed and we were all mad at him...
The thing that puzzled me was that when we were alone he was really nice and kind, totally different...but when we were among others it was like he become this other person, a bit taunting, full of himself even a bit rough but not in a violent kind of way...
Reflecting now I think I had mixed feelings towards him, kind of love-hate type of "relationship"...I had a little crush on him but when I tried to talk to my friends about it they thought I was joking and didn't take me seriously at all...and about that time he moved...
and then...there he was...after almost 10 years...I didn't know how to act and I got caught into what my friend was telling me...and caught in memories but they were all blurry and I remembered not so nice ones first and so unconsciously I tried to block him from my thoughts unsuccessfully...but time flew and suddenly I saw him passing me by and I supposed he was going out of the bar but few minutes later he came back through the same door which I later realized it was the toilet. How could I've I known that was the toilet because I've never been in this bar and there was no sign and it was a strange door for a toilet hall...well...
All the time I had the feeling he wanted to come over to say hi or something...but he didn't, actually I think he was waiting for me to give him some sign...more then I smile... but as I said I got caught up and didn't know how to act.It was like I was in an emotional whirl...felt like a teenager again...
And then...suddenly he was gone...
and I felt so sad, disappointed...like I missed out on something...
All in all...it's all so strange...
If this was a movie...then probably this encounter wouldn't end like this...
But this is life...and I got caught up...and it's strange because I'm the one who always trys to be down to earth, real, sensible...one step ahead of situation...but...
I just...I don't know...
ok so I LOVE the pairing of flack and angell, however going through youtube i noticed that there aren't really a lot of videos of the pair featuring clips from this season, so i was wondering if someone would be willing to make a video of the pairing featuring the song "Her Eyes" by Pat Monohan? If so, I would be forever in your debt and you would be able to be my first born's tv.com godparent ![]()
well, as I lay in bed tonight, my laptop on my lap, and my mind racing towards thoughts of sleep and my upcoming birthday, I remembered you all here at tv.com. I'm not sure why, or how, but I suddenly felt incredibly drawn to this site, my hands overpowering me as I typed in the address and entered my password.
Returning seems to be a theme in my blogs I've realized as I look over my homepage. but is this a theme in my life, or just a theme in my consistency in this site? I'm not sure, as I live by a philosophy of "People Always Leave", a line stolen from the first season of One Tree Hill. But is this the truth? Do people always leave? Or do they always return? Sure, there are exceptions, as I remember that I began living by this philosophy the night my aunt die, but nonetheless, am I prepared to think that people always return? When angst is so much easier to believe than light heartedness? Will my mind as easily welcome the idea of returning as much as it does the idea of leaving? I should be the one to answer these questions.
But I cannot.
So today, as you read this, don't wonder about your own feelings of mourning, leaving, returning, or even staying, but of freshness. Think of maturity, when even though you feel every single prick of sadness, you still feel that one stap of happiness, which may brighten even the darkest day.
While I coudl ramble on about things that do not matter, I think the things that do matter are more important, as they are our life's work. Life is not meant for finding yourself, it's meant for Creating yourself.

Can you smell it? No? Come a little closer. Now? That's right! Tis the smell of a fresh, brand spankin' new blog! The old one was starting to reek. Almost, but not quite as bad as the new TV.com design. There, I've made my feelings known
and that's all I'm going to say about it.
So let's see...what's new with me? I need bullets *rummages through Microsoft Word 2007 's unfamiliar layout* ahhh, there they are!
Well, first, let me stir the unpleasant stink of the old blog only to let you know that, fueled by Mrs. Sparkle's outrage at the inefficiency of our public health care system here in Québec (see last blog's comments), I decided to go "private" and hired myself a doctor! It only took a thirty seconds phone call for my new (if somewhat expensive) doctor to get the results of the CT scan I took over two months ago (and with the results of which the "public" doctor who had me take the test in the first place still hasn't called! ) They were negative, in case you're interested (the results as well as the whole experience). So with this test, we have eliminated brain tumors, blood clots and aneurysms. But apparently, I'm not out of the woods yet as this new (if somewhat expensive) doctor wants to eliminate all the "biggies" (her word, not mine) before she blames my symptoms on stress alone. She hooked me up with a neurologist and is having me go through another series of tests: MRI, EEG and a complete blood work. I feel I'm now in good (if somewhat expensive) hands!
Fall is upon us and the temperature is starting to drop, urging little creatures to look for a warm, cozy place to spend the winter months. Seems like flies have elected my bathroom "Winter Destination of the Year"! Every day when I go in for my morning shower, I am greeted by four or five of them. And these are not your regular flies, these are on steroids! These are huge, BIG ASS flies!! I've thought about turning my bathtub into a pond and getting huge, BIG ASS frogs to get rid of the flies. But then how do you get rid of frogs on steroids?
So instead, I catch them (the flies, not the frogs - they're groggy from the cold which makes it easier to sneak up on them
). I tell them the resort has this new water slide that they just MUST try and I flush them down the toilet. ![]()
The other night, one of them (a fly, not a frog) ventured out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. It must have heard the monkey sounds coming from my bed (I've kept IB around for fun! Again refer to last blog for IB info) and thought this was a safari of some sorts. It was buzzing excitedly and bumping into walls: BZZZZZZZ, TOCK, BZZZZZZZZZZZZ, TOCK, TOCK, BZZZZZ, BZZZZZZZZ, TOCK. Every time I got up and turned the light on, it would stop buzzing and hide. Every time I turned the light off and climbed back into bed, it would start buzzing and tocking again. Drove me absolutely bananas (hence the monkey sounds
). After an hour of this hide and seek game, I swear I could hear the sarcasm in its buzzing! I never caught the little bastard but I would recognize that sarcastic buzzing anywhere...I'm putting together The Ultimate Adventure package for this little fellow. He will not believe his eyes, all seven hundred and sixty of them!
In other news, my best friend is going through a breakup. So lately, I've been in full "best friend" mode and I've been doing a lot of nodding and agreeing and head shaking. She's been going through the typical stages of grief:
"How could he not be missing me right now? Why doesn't he call?" (Denial - head shake)
"He's an @sshole (Anger - agree)
"It's all my fault" (Guilt - head shake)
"I need a drink" (Depression - nod and join her)
"I'm better off without him!" (Acceptance - agree)
"You're such a good friend. You're so easy to talk to. I'm done with men, I think I'll try women instead" (Batting for the other team?!?
Where did that one come from??

What else is going on? Oh, yes! I bought my very first laptop two weeks ago! My computer was old and rickety and it was getting to the point where I had to turn it on about an hour before I planned on using it because that's how long it took to get off its lazy butt, shake off the dust, walk around with its cane, gathering up all my files and folders and get them all nice and ready. I'm not even going to get into the exhausting negotiating I had to do to get it to play a song, or worse, a video!
So out with the old and in with the new. Well, I didn't really throw the old computer out yet. It's enjoying its retirement in my bedroom, where I can hear him plotting with the friggin' fly at night. I think they're devising a plan to help the little bugger escape.
So I've been feeling very Carrie Bradshaw-ish this morning, sitting comfortably in my favorite armchair, near the window, with my coffee mug and my ideas for this blog. And I couldn't help but wonder: Do all laptop users feel this way?
So that's about it for the update folks! I will now try to post this blog on TV.com. It's my first one since the re-design. I've heard all sorts of horror stories but I chose to ignore them all and be positive! *clicks heels three times and says: This blog will go up without a glitch*
Well what do you know, it worked!! It doesn't look exactly like I had planned, but it'll do for now.
*wanders off humming: We're off to see the Wizard...*
