The bird is =/> the word

I'm getting real tired of dogs humping each other.  I can't believe how much they can hump.  Its like they dont know what to do...poo, pee, or hump.  

Anyway I'm starting to feel like a neglectful mother.  Sofie gets super excited when I get home but my mom tells me all she does all day is sleep in the corner of my bed.  I wish I could take her but I really don't want her to get humped!

So I've lost a little air in my tires.  I haven't played my guitar in days and I haven't even looked at my French in weeks.  I feel so lazy but then again I'm so exhausted that I barely have time to study French or study my guitar.  When school starts in January I'm going to be swamped.  I'm thinking I'm going to have to limit my hours at work 'cause I'm going to be too tired for studies.  One thing that can cause me to fail is by not getting enough sleep.  I have to finish this certificate as soon as possible so I can makes somes doughs.

Monthly French! :D

Four-legged friends?

Ok I'm completely done with this week now.  I would appreciate it very much if I can make it to Monday.  Not only will it be a new week but also a new month and this slump I've been in can just go away.  

Another day of work and I'm getting frustrated that people keep giving me so many directions at once.  I don't know what to do first and I feel like just sitting in the bathroom until someone comes looking for me.  Today I showed up a whole 20 minutes late cause I'm an idiot and I set my alarm clock wrong.  Plus yesterday was Thanksgiving so the turkey was making me slip into a coma.

I get paid in exactly one week (dances).  It's not like I've never been paid before but its been a while since I've gotten a decent paycheck.  Unfortunately Christmas is around the corner so most of my money will be gone by Dec. 20th.

As for my baby Sofie, she was so full yesterday but she still kept trying to eat.  When we finally went to bed she didn't want to move or even open her eyes.  Everytime I tried to scoot her over (she always manages to take up a good amount of the bed despite her small body) she would give me this look like she hated me.  She's been giving attitude lately, she probably has a tummy-ache.

Le Temps de L'amour

My first actual day of work and now I'm exhausted.  I've been on my feet for almost 5 hours straight.  Playing with dogs all day is not all it's cracked up to be.  Especially when all they ever do is poo, pee, and hump. Plus having a headache doesn't help either...the barking...oh god...the barking.

So far in a day and a half, I've learned to play chords A, D, E, Em, and G.  Awwweeesommee.  But I still don't know how to switch as fast as the cool musicians do it. But at least I've learned the fingering for the chords.  Now my left hand fingers feel funny.  

You know what's been driving me crazy?  People saying that Twilight was good.  IT WAS HORRIBLE.  I mean it was so bad that I was laughing...LAUGHING.  Not like "omg that was funny" no it was "omg this movie is a piece of tripe".  I can't believe how much they're blowing it up like its supposed to be the greatest movie in the world.  It's not ok.  I don't care if you liked the books, I don't care if you think that dude is cute, I don't care if you're 11 years old and loved it to death.  The movie is terrible.  If I was to watch it again it would have to be because I was tortured because I would never ever watch it without some kind of drug influence in me that impaired my thinking.

Anyway....I'm done ranting for today. 

Twilight? More like No light!

(insert snort here)

After suffering through the two plus hours that was the over-hyped Twlight, I realized that I just spent $10 on a movie that was no better than watching Gossip Girls every night for a week.  The acting was terrible, the plot was watery, and Edward was the worst sex symbol.  Maybe I'm too old but still, I was at least somewhat attracted to Tom Cruise in Interview With the Vampire even though I hate him.

Anyway, I got my guitar today and besides the fact that I have to tune the thing before I play it...I have to relearn how to read music.  However it does make for a decorative piece.

Sofie was sick last night.  I don't know why.  She's much like me and her daddy.  Stomach problems galore.  I'm constantly having to give her pepto bismal because she doesn't know when things are supposed to be ingested and when they aren't.  She threw up everywhere and I almost didn't go to the movie but she acted like she didn't even care.  I came home and all she wanted to do was play with her toys and roughhouse with me.  I think she was faking it.

Boredom

Yahoo! Harry Potter 6 Trailer

So I'm semi-excited about Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.  I've read all the books so yes I feel like a kid in a candy store with this movie and the next two.  Unfortunately, since the release date has been pushed back, my excitement has gone down a bit since the first teaser.  I wish they could've released it this year.  Then maybe this year in movies wouldn't have blown so badly.

Today sucked.  I hoped to at least feel productive but the most productive thing I've done is get all the tvs to get digital channels in time for the switch in like 84 days. 

Sofie's sleeping.  The most she did today was go straight through a Roofle (rawhide waffle treat) within 5 minutes. I bought a bow for her hair for Christmas but she keeps rubbing it off her face.  Shes adorable though.  I gotta get her a little dress for Christmas day.

The Watchmen

I wanted to express my deep admiration for a film that has yet to come out: The Watchmen.  Although the date for the release is March 6th (104 days).  I am already planning on seeing the movie in the IMAX theater regardless if I have the money or not.

The feelings I have for this movie are much like the feelings I had when the 300 trailer came out.  Anxiety, anticipation, frustration, longing.  It's almost as if the film is an actual person I love that I haven't seen in ages.  

Unlike most girls, I read the graphic novel.  It was when I was in community college and I would hang out in the library.  I probably read every single comic book/graphic novel in the section and one of them was The Watchmen.  I had never heard of it before, I was used to the campy comic books like Spiderman, Batman, etc.   But this series had a meaning.  A real point that I could grasp but it actually didn't hit me until the first trailer came out.

The use of the Smashing Pumpkins' song "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" was exquisite.  Not only did they use a great song but they cropped it so that it would fit the scenes that were teased.  It has now been planted in my head that I will probably get excited about any Zack Snyder movie that comes out.

I have to say, my favorite characters are probably not the most savory characters: The Comedian and Rorschach.  I like The Comedian because he knows people.  He looks at the world for how it is and decides that he doesn't really like it all that much.  This is directly contradicted by the smiley face "Have a Nice Day" button that has become the focal point of the entire Watchmen universe.  The fact that in the film he is played by the amazingly good looking Jeffery Dean Morgan aka Denny Duquette in Grey's Anatomy doesn't hurt either. :)

I've heard from many people that it is very stupid to like a character like Rorschach because he is not only a murderer but a violent vigilante that deserves prison time at least.  But I happen to like him despite his vices.  He is the one costumed character who seems to be doing something about The Comedian's death.  He's the one that puts it together.  And although he is a criminal, one has to admit that this man has the brains to be anything he wants to be.  His "face" is great too and one of the best costumes in comic book history.

So now I must wait.  Watch and wait for my movie to come out.  Maybe till then I'll quench my thirst with The Spirit (out Christmas Day), The Day The Earth Stood Still (out Dec. 12th), and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (out Jan. 23th).  All movies I will probably like but will never match my amourous feelings toward The Watchmen.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.

Who watches the watchmen?

Après-midi de Jour de Chien

Officially my third day of work. I hate leaving Sofie home with her poodle brother Lucky. I have a feeling he's plotting her downfall. I want to take her to work but she has a problem with leashes. Her problem is...she dies. Like she just falls over like I'm choking her. She's such a drama queen.

Last night's Grey's Anatomy was ok. One of the many dramatic ones. The interns went "scalpel crazy" as Dr. Torres put it, and it made for great dramatic tv. My favorite subplot to this show has to be the relationship between Denny Duquette and Izzie Stevens. I love how they brought them back even though it is a bit soap opera. I have to wait for the logical reasoning they give for his appearance. I have a feeling Izzie has lost her mind but you never know.

Today is a boring day. And I don't feel like doing anything. With Thanksgiving coming up I'm trying not to unconsciously eat. I have to lose the 10 pounds that I'm going to gain back during Thanksgiving. I know its pointless but I can't just gain an extra 10.

Thank god this week is almost over. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up there's going to be no time for anything but at least I have most of my business taken care of. Now I can do fun things like obedience classes for Sofie that I will probably have to trick her into going to... :/

The Beginning is the End is the Beginning

So it starts.  Today is Thursday so that means I'm looking forward to another episode of Grey's Anatomy.  I'm glad I wasn't scheduled to work today 'cause then I'd miss it.  

I've moved into my new room at my house and Sofie just loves it beyond the amount a dog should probably love it.  She sleeps on the bed all day, only gets up to pee, and eats everything I'm eating.  Shes worse than a man.  I hate her and love her at the same time.

So now shes wearing her blue sweater...cause its cold and because it makes me happy and isn't that the most important thing?

The other day she was making me and Chino (mini brother) laugh 'cause...well look....

Stupid dog trick, I say.

Au revoir.
