The Conjuring 'n Stuff

Saturday, July 27, 2013

Lauren and I were talking about Sprint's new Drive First service. If your phone is in motion, like in the car, it automatically holds calls and texts. ($2 per month. Only works on Android. Other restrictions and fine print probably apply. Contact your Sprint Store for more details.) It can also be set to send auto-reply texts, which I think is the best part. You're neither tempted to pick up the phone to look at a text nor to send a quick text that you're on the road.

Me: I wonder if, for certain people, you could set it to always auto-reply that you're driving.
Lauren: Ha! Yeah... 'Lauren, why are you always driving?'
Me: 'I just love wide open spaces... the open road...'
Lauren: Life is a highway, baby. Life is a highway.

Ahahaaaaaaaaa! Life is a highway. Oh man.

She and I saw The Conjuring last night. People have gone on and on about how scary it is. Someone went into a seizure at a theater where one of Lauren's friends saw it. We thought it was going to be the scariest film we've ever seen.

It's good, but it's not the scariest movie ever, by a long shot. The Ring and The Grudge were far more terrifying to me. (The Exorcist used to be my be all and end all of the horror realm, but if you watch it now, you'll think it's totally cheesy.) Lauren, the horror film aficionado, says Sinister is the scariest movie she's ever seen.

The audience last night was great, though. That makes a huge difference in how you see some films. During the previews, before the movie even started, a trailer for "We're the Millers" was shown. When the son starts rapping in the RV, which we've all seen a hundred times now, several people randomly burst into laughter and then the whole theater ended up laughing all the way into the next trailer. During the feature, virtually the entire packed theater screamed and jumped out of our seats a few times, and then everyone laughed. It was pretty funny.


Saturday 9: So Much to Say

(Hear the song here.)

1) The lyrics refer to a baby's "one year of crying." When was the last time you cried ... felt weepy ... or at least teared up?
I think it was Monday at work. I've had an absolutely sh*tty couple of weeks there. There were a few days that I was literally walking around on the verge of tears most of the day.

2) Let's lighten it up a little. When was the last time you laughed really hard?

Hmm. I don't remember any time I've really laughed hard since the "bear taint" scene on Zimmern's show.

3) Do you have "so much to say" that hasn't been said yet? Tell us if you owe someone a phone call, note, email or text.
I owe Kimberly an email. I need to give my grandpa a call.

4) Earlier this summer, Dave took a bike ride before a show and his tire blew out. He didn't have a cell phone with him and was afraid of missing that night's performance. Fortunately two fans -- driving to see Dave Matthews Band in concert -- recognized him by the side of the road and gave him a ride to the show. Share a recent act of kindness you either did, or received.
I helped a visitor to our business complex find his car in the garage. At first I thought he was just chatting me up, but... yeah he had no idea where his vehicle was.

5) Before he hit it big, Dave Matthews was a bartender. What job did you have right before the one you have now?
part-time middle school library clerk

6) The Dave Matthews Band recorded an album live at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, in the mountains near Denver. Is there a trip to the mountains in your future?

Sadly, no.

7) Do you suffer from hay fever or allergies?
I do! In Austin, it's inevitable. I usually say it's totally worth it to live here, but lately I've been rethinking that. ;)

8) What's in your pocket right now?
I'm in a nightgown, but the last thing I had in my pocket last night was an HEB receipt

9) American Express promotes "Small Business Saturday," and encourages us to shop at local, independent retailers. Is there a shop, boutique or restaurant in your town that you're particularly fond of?
Habana SoCo, Kerbey Lane, Salt Lick

TGIF Randomness!

Friday, July 26, 2013

35 Days and 18 hours until Aggie FOOTBALL!! Whoop!

We've sold almost all our extra tickets. Double whoop.

There's a lot of action going on with Season Ticket holders. We have to purchase our 2015 tickets next month. We're all getting new seats, because the seating is going to be different, even in the north end zone where we are, because they're lowering the field to add rows at the bottom. Should be interesting!

Oh and then we all have to purchase our 2014 tickets in the spring. Cha-ching!

Here's something random from my desk at work:



Heh.

And an awesome cover song this week-



Too cool!

Okie doke... we're off to see The Conjuring this evening. Skeery!

Catfish Happy Ending

Tuesday, July 23, 2013

Saw Laura and Rich's new house last night. It's awesome!! They're painting and redoing all the flooring before they move in. Fun! That place is huge. I foresee many karaoke nights in the living room.

Now that everyone has seen the Lauren & Derek episode of Catfish (not my Lauren), can I just say, WOW? How cool is it that someone actually was who they said they were on that show!

So Derek had been talking to Lauren online for 8 years, but would never Skype with her or meet her. He turned out to be who he said he was- looked exactly like his photos, didn't have a secret wife or kids, wasn't a woman, etc. So my question is still... WHY wouldn't this guy meet her?

He said it was because this girl meant so much to him and he was afraid she wouldn't like him in person as much as she did online. Did you see her? She was totally in love with him. Why on earth wouldn't she like him in person? They'd talked for 8 years. Yeesh. I still don't get it. There might actually be something more to that, but let's just all assume it's true, so we can keep our rose-colored glasses in place.

We were on the edge of our seats during the reveal scene like never before that night, because this guy was either going to be Mr. LaVourne (an older guy to whom Derek's cell phone number mapped) or Derek or God-knows-who. It could have gone any direction, from happy ending to an old guy talking to a 20-year-old girl.

Everyone kept grossing out about Mr. LaVourne, but honestly he looks like a totally cool cat. He was smiling and having fun with his family in his photos. It's just the age difference that would have been the creepiest. They should have had LaVourne on the follow-up show, so he could say "OMG, what kind of perv do you think I am?"

And what is up with the follow-up show having people sit sixteen feet from each other? So weird. Squish 'em together a bit, MTV!

Things I Love :)

Monday, July 22, 2013

We had so much fun hanging out with friends on Saturday night! Great dinner. Great evening of cards (girls rule, boys drool.... just sayin'...).

To Breakfast or Not to Breakfast...?

Saturday, July 20, 2013

Congrats to Crystal, who is doing her first spin class today after training for weeks to be a teacher! Woohoo!! Wish I could be there!

So last night, I had a Mudslide, followed shortly after by crab rangoons and sesame chicken. Throughout the sesame chicken portion of the evening, I felt worse and worse, on sort of an exponential curve. By the end of dinner, I couldn't drive myself home, because I thought I might have to hurl at some point on the trip. (Laura is now very glad she didn't meet us.)

On the way home, I was basically holding it back. (You're welcome, Jeff!) I wasn't sure if the Mudslide was bad or it was an unwise combination of food/drink or what, but OMG was I sick.

Felt better after that though!

Now it's time for breakfast, and I'm starving, but scared to death to eat anything. *shudder* So I'm going to do the Saturday 9 instead...

Saturday 9: Endless Summer

1) The best-selling Beach Boys album of all time is this two disc greatest hits compilation. Do you have favorite Beach Boys song?

Mom had this album, back in the day. My favorite BB song is "Barbara Ann." I had a good friend named Barbara Ann and we all used to sing it as her theme song... to her mild annoyance after a while. My friends and I also used to do a silly jitterbug/freeze dance to it.  So fun!

2) The original members of the group were the Wilson brothers, their cousin Mike and a friend from the neighborhood. Have you ever worked with a family member?
Nope. I worked with one of my best friends- Kimberly- at Gallagher's though!

3) Originally released in the mid-1970s, Endless Summer was one of the first fast-selling albums sold on TV. Have you ever picked up the phone and purchased anything directly from TV?

Nope.

4) The Beach Boys are very popular in Australia. Have you ever been Down Under?

No- one of my bucket list items though.

5) Actor John Stamos played bongos on the Beach Boys' hit, "Kokomo." In his younger days, Stamos was Blackie on the daytime drama, General Hospital. Have you ever followed a soap opera?

I saw John as Blackie on GH. I watched All My Children and General Hospital for years, starting in high school summers. I dropped GH when they started doing ridiculous plotlines like alien landings. Stayed with AMC, watching once every several months to catch up, for another several years. I watched Josh Duhamel (Leo), Kelly Ripa (Hayley) & Sarah Michelle Gellar (Kendall) on there before they became über famous.

6) Many Beach Boys songs revolve around the surf. How are you on a surf board?

I've never been on one.

7) Would you prefer summer to be endless? Or do you enjoy the changing seasons?

Changing seasons, please.

8) Do your summer 2013 plans include a trip to a waterpark?

No.

9) Describe your swimsuit.

I have a new one. It's a black one-piece with a hot pink, ruffly part that crosses the front, from the full length on the left side, in a triangle-ish shape that ties at the waist on the right.

Blogging to You Live from MacBook

Wednesday, July 17, 2013

Howdy!

This is my first blog post from my MacBook Air. Does it seem COOLER??!

At the moment, to me, it actually feels sort of backwards and confusing, but I'll get used to it.

Well, the magic has faded already for Stephanie and her old beau. Sad day! My hopeless romantic heart can barely stand it! He's too "clingy." She doesn't like that he's talking about moving to Texas.  They're still going to meet, but she's trying to get him to meet her somewhere in between them, rather than him coming to Austin. Meh.

(...America's Got Talent is on TV in the background right now. I don't ever watch this show.
Me: I don't know that lady.
Jeff: That's Heidi Klum...
Me: I know Heidi Klum. The other one.
Jeff: She's a Spice Girl. What are the Spice Girls' names?
Me: Paprika...
Jeff: Geri Halliwell. But not her. Another one.
Jeff totally knows the Spice Girls more than I ever did. Good on ya', J!)

Anyhoo... OH! Laura and Rich are moving! They're moving to the country, although she calls it sub suburbia. It's very cool and I couldn't be happier for them. It's probably the same distance from me as now, which is the most important factor. HEE! Congrats y'all!

Sucky Day

Tuesday, July 16, 2013

It's just been a craptastic day all around. *sigh* This includes a cold I feel coming on. Maybe I should just surrender to it and lay around for a few days, sulking and sneezing.

OK, fellow meme-ers. Let's do this thing...


Sunday Stealing: The Wackadoo Meme part 2

30.] What brand of batteries do you usually get?
C's. Heh.

Oh, BRAND... Energizer.

32.] What is in your medicine cabinet?
C batteries

39.] Do you own binoculars or monoculars? What do you use them for?
I do not own binoculars or monoculars. But if I did, I would use them to spy on Scott making dinner, to see if we should head over there. It's usually a safe bet though.

I crashed my car into the bridge.
I don't care. I love it. I don't care.

55.] What's your favorite type of firework?
The ones that pop in concentric circles. Cool!

Saturday 9 on Sunday

Sunday, July 14, 2013

What's worse than a migraine in a traffic jam? "I Love It" by Icona Pop. What has been stuck in my head all weekend?

...I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn...

ACK.


Saturday 9: Just Give Me a Reason

1) When she first burst onto the scene, Pink was a self-proclaimed tomboy. Now she's glam. Literally. She was on the cover of the June issue of Glamour and is a spokeswoman for Covergirl cosmetics. Does a celebrity endorsement increase your interest in a product?
I'd love to say no, but yes, if I like the celebrity.

2) This song is about a woman who feels her lover slipping away. Do you believe a couple can repair a relationship once it starts to sour?
Yes, if both people want to repair it.

3) As a little girl, Pink wanted to be an Olympic gymnast. If you could excel (or, if you do excel) at any sport, which one?

I wish I could excel at soccer. Ever my father's daughter... He played and was a soccer fan.

4) Pink is married to motorcycle pro Carey Hart. Have you ever ridden really fast on a motorcyle?

Why yes! The fastest I ever went with Jeff on his motorcycle in college was a drive out Highway 30 towards Huntsville. I was wearing a helmet, with short shorts and a tank top. If we'd had an accident, I would have been in the hospital, my brain safe and sound, completely awake and aware that all my skin had been scraped off.

5) When she found out she was pregnant, Pink says she gave up whiskey and cigarettes … but admits she misses the whiskey. Do you have a habit you know you should break?
bar photobooths

6) In 2010, she fell out of the aerial harness that was supposed to carry her across the stage. Are you afraid of heights?
Yep. Not so much that I won't go to high places, but, for example, it makes me absolutely nauseous to watch someone even get close to a high railing. I say someone else, because I won't usually get within a foot or so of one. My friends and loved ones enjoy taunting me by leaning over railings. If one of you ever falls over, don't think I'm above saying "I TOLD YOU SO" at your funeral.

7) Pink enjoys showing off her tattoos. Do you have any body art?
No, but I considered getting a small something the other day. (I'll never do it.)

8) Pink can be very salty in her language. When was the last time you cursed?
Last night. It's early yet. I am trying to tone it down though.

9) On her website, Pink sells 10 different t-shirts. Do you have a favorite t-shirt? What does it look like/say?
My fave is my Apple t-shirt, because it's hard to get one. Mine is black with a white logo. You have to buy them at the Apple campus in California. No mail orders.

Gross Post Du Jour

Thursday, July 11, 2013

Today I saw a cup ring on the metal toilet-paper-slash-tampon-trashcan thinger in a bathroom stall at work.

A cup ring.

Ladies, please don't bring your drink into the stall. If you absolutely have to bring your drink into the bathroom, place it on the counter by the sink.


Speaking of public toilets, the other day, J and I started out talking about... something that I can't really get into here... which led to how wild animals don't have butt cheeks, so they don't need toilet paper, and that they don't need the padding because they lie down and never sit, and how they don't poop sitting down...

Yeah, typical conversation.

Jeff: A lot of my coworkers stand.
Me: To poop?!
Jeff (amused and disgusted): No! They stand at their workstations. How would I know if the guys at work poop standing up?

Um. Boys pull out their goodies and pee in front of each other every day. They don't watch each other poop?

Have some decorum like us ladies... who enjoy a cool, refreshing beverage while we pee.

(Okay, boys. You win this one.)

Fourth of July Fire

Saturday, July 6, 2013

Holy bajeebers. I was wishing Grant a happy birthday yesterday morning and he told me that at 3 a.m., his house was on fire! They had put their fireworks debris into their trashcan and set it in its normal place outside by the garage wall. Several hours later, they woke up smelling smoke. Their house guest banged on their bedroom door, yelling, "Fire!"

He got his family of six plus their guest out of the house, called 911 and got out a hose. The gas meter was spewing fire like a flamethrower and the electrical box was sparking and on fire as well. The flames went all the way up to the rafters, but luckily they have just reshingled their roof with composite shingles that don't burn easily, so they weren't catching fire.

The fire department got there in 9 minutes. He says "...the 9 longest minutes ever, while you're wetting your burning house with a garden hose."

Now there's a 15-foot hole in their garage and a sooty, wet mess and their house smells like burned tires. It could have been worse and thank God they and their kids got out without any injuries. Scary!

The fire department told him that you always want to douse all your fireworks debris in a bucket of water before throwing it away. Great advice!

In somewhat related great advice- Don't see The Heat. It's not that funny. You're welcome.

Random Friday

Friday, July 5, 2013

Yesterday, one of Lauren's friends called the Declaration of Independence "the best breakup letter of all time." Ahaha! So true. Hope everyone had a superfun day celebrating!

Angel and Kevin invited Jeff and I to go to Italy with them next year. Whee! They're part of Zach Braff's Kickstarter thinger and are going to the movie premiere in Rome. Then they're hitting all the major cities.

Angel, I love ya', but if we do this, you are getting on the plane. Pack valium and tequila in your carry-on. We don't want to be posting "wish you were here" photos on Facebook from Venice with our Bellinis in hand. ;)

Friday Five: High School Music

1. What song, album, or artist, disliked by you in high school, now sounds pretty good?
None of them. I don't typically change my mind about music I don't like.

2. What specific high-school memory do you have of discovering some song, album, or artist you considered old?
My friend's band absolutely brought the house down playing The Who's "Pinball Wizard" at the talent show one year. We all vaguely knew the song from our childhoods, but we were singing it for weeks afterward. So more of a "rediscovery."

3. What song or album best serves as the soundtrack for your senior year of high school? (bonus challenge: answer this question with a different song or album for each year of high school!)
Freshman: "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" The Police. The boys in my social circle were totally into The Police. I heard a lot of The Police through high school, from the lunchroom jukebox to blaring in our cars to live concerts.
Sophomore: "Tainted Love" Soft Cell. We listened to this song until we were sick to death of it and then listened some more. At the beach, at home... everywhere. It's still a great song! Also, this was the year of my first serious relationship- completely doomed from the start.
Junior: "Little Red Corvette" Prince. Oh yes. PRINCE, baby. Broke up with the bf over the summer. Had a big time junior year with a Prince soundtrack all the way.
Senior: "Walkin' on Sunshine" Katrina and the Waves. Just a great year from every standpoint possible.

4. What’s a song, album, or artist from your high-school years you loved then (and might still love) but have great difficulty listening to now, and what’s the reason?
"Take a Look at Me Now" Phil Collins. On the cafeteria jukebox. Just ugh. Shoot me.

5. What song, album, or artist from your high-school years, seemingly forgotten nowadays, do you still listen to with fondness?
Anything by Stray Cats. So cool! We went to the concert back then completely dressed in 50's outfits and everyone danced in the aisles. One of my fave concerts ever.

Webmaster Adventures

Thursday, July 4, 2013

I could write a book about a website client (someone I have known for years and adore outside of this project) who is slowly and methodically trying to drive me insane. A book. Seriously. By the time it is finished, I will have gone completely mad, and I will have one of my caretakers send it off to the publisher.

Yesterday, I vowed to take the first sentence of the next email I received from him to use as the opening line. I had just given him long, explicit directions on where and how to log in.

His reply:

Do I use my login info?

BOOM. Opening sentence of the book... and a perfect title!

I just have to laugh.

In a delirious, Woody Woodpecker sort of way.


I forgot to tell you all that we went to see Dixie's Tupperware Party the other day, and Kathy was called up on stage! Ha! She and Dixie discussed her job (project manager for a biotech company), which was all sorts of funny, and then Dixie asked her how she liked to relax after work. Kathy said, "With a glass of wine!" Dixie gave her one of those tiny Tupperware bowls on a keychain and said it was perfect for wine. Or pills. Ha!

Loved it. The show was hilarious. It's an audience participation play, that's just like... no it IS... a real Tupperware Party. Kris Andersson is fabulous. The interactive nature of the play requires a lot of improvisational humor, and he is the best. See it with your girlfriends!

Workin' Out

Monday, July 1, 2013

Wendy addressed me by my old fansite screen name on Facebook today. Awww! Some days I really miss that time. We all had so much fun online and on all our trips.

In other news... Other than the Saturday morning workouts with the work girls (that have petered out), and rare neighborhood walks, I haven't worked out on a consistent basis in what feels like forever. I have a million pathetic reasons. If you'd like to get together over coffee and hear them, or share your own as well, give me a call.

For a few weeks now, I've been talking about re-committing to it and finally it has happened. After a few people turned down (or pooped out on) my buddy-workout ideas, I'm going it on my own again. Back to my old 5-6 days a week kickboxing and aerobic step workouts.

Um... There is no better wake-up call to the fitness level you were, compared to the fitness level you are, than doing one of the same workouts you were last doing a year ago. Oy.

Flexibility- zip. Stamina- double-zippo. Strength- wimpy.

AND... where the heck is that mirror that used to be in the gameroom? I guess I used to look at it more than I realized, because I keep glancing at the art that is in its place now. Perhaps it is for the best that I can't watch at the moment. It probably looks as bad as it feels!

:) Committed though!
