Hmmm....
You know, I do adore my morning eye candy, but I gotta say I've noticed that my man is not a fan of shopping. I'd like to believe he has a closet full of the exact same sweaters, shirts, and pants, but I can't imagine they are all threadbare or wrinkled in the exact same way. But I have my own landmines of dirty laundry all over the place and don't think I haven't picked through those landminds to find something to wear at one point or another.

Nothing Special
I gots nothing special to report. I have a group interview at MoA tomorrow for a cashiers or ride attendant position. I really would prefer the cashier because Lord knows I don't want to work in the Hell Park. I only want a few hours a week. If I can get 6 to 8 hours Saturday and Sunday that would be perfect. I just really need the dough. It pays $9.00 an hour which is pretty mean buck for that kind of job. The financial situation is getting dire.
What else? I'm still keeping an eye on my BusCrush. He's regrowing his beard and I like it. I've added Miley Cyrus' "See You Again" on MySpace. I'm trying to recapture my long lost youth. One of the repo guys at work might have been a wee bit flirty with me today and he's kinda cute so I didn't mind.
Rebecca, Bean, and I had our game night last Friday. We liked Adverteasing, not so much Scene It. She's buggin' out to do it again, but I didn't like paying $7 towards a cab ride home and I don't want to sleep over at her house. I just don't. So we shall see if that happens again any time real soon.
The weekend before the three of us had dinner at Rebecca's before The Hostages show. Rebecca made some crazy-tasty steak roast with Yorkshire pudding and salad. So damn good.
Speaking of food, it's time for my dinner. More chicken.

Bus Crush: The Saga Continues
I see you are adding some facial hair. I think you just like to tease me. Tease away. I like it.
I need to do something. I think I need therapy again. I just do things that are mean and spitful for no reason. I realize I'm doing it and then I shrug my shoulders and move on. I might feel a twinge of guilt about it, but that doesn't stop me. Is it too late for me at 36 1/2 to change my evil ways? And then there is the depression. Egads! I am a cold mess.
I got a random mailing inviting me to attend a service at the Kingdom Hall. It is an actual handwritten letter from some women that I don't know. Or at least, I don't think I know. I'm not going, but per usual when I get depressed, I want to find God. I don't know what I expect to find in church, but I think I still might actually find one now.

A New New 'Do
Oh, you are full of surprises, aren't you, my Busable EyeCandy. Yet another haircut. I must say I like it better. The first hair cut was nice, but made you're face look a wee bit puffy. This has a youthfully, slimming effect. But whatever. Still hot and making my trips to work a little brighter.
I'm getting over my second cold THIS MONTH! Why am I suddenly so infection-prone? And I'm out of Wal-quil both day and night versions. I had to use that Alka-Seltzer Cold stuff and it takes way longer to knock me out and it doesn't loosen up the goo nearly as much. But my left ear isn't all stuffed up like it was yesterday, so that much is good.
I went to Gringo's with Rebecca for the first time in forever last Friday. I didn't realized that I hadn't seen her since January. Good grief. But I have been a moody broke-ass. I think that was my first time having beer since Digital Underground. Well, unless, you count that sip of Swank's Chelata or whatever. How lame.
Anyway, those 4 beers left me feeling like crap, so once again Bean's Game Night was thwarted. I gotta say though, that I'm not all that enthused about going all the way over Nordeast to hang out until the wee hours and then either paying for a cab or catching a bus in the wee hours. I mean, she has the house, but she also is the one who lives on the other side of town and owns a car. And I just don't dig on staying in someone else's house. I just like my Comfort Zone. It's how I roll. So we'll see.
It won't happen this week either because The Hostages are playing tomorrow at the 3Rock with some other bands which I've never heard of and I will go, with Rebecca whom I hate riding the bus with. I kinda hate riding the bus with anyone else because I can't put my headphones on and I really prefer to have my headphones on when I ride the bus. I just have no interest in hearing anything any of those people have to say. I'm so mean.

What is the "legal" definition of cheese?
I was poking around on the Wiki as I occasionally do, and decided to look up American cheese. It occurred to me last night when I was making my lunch that I really have no idea what the heck that Crayola-colored square I was placing on my sammich really was. It just cracked me up that there is a specific legal definition specifically for fake-ass cheese.
In other news, I get to try for a job at MPD again. I have to go in for testing next Friday at 9. I honestly don't remember any 2-hour test for this position last time. Then again, my brain is all stuffed up and well, I'm no spring chicken anymore, so I could just be blanking it. Perhaps I'll have to scan back in the MS blog.
Anyhoodle. So there's this guy who rides my first morning bus whom I have the most inexplicable crush on. I used to ride the bus AND the train with him waaaaaay back when I worked at CCJ for that whole 2 months. At that time he had the cutest faux-hawk. When I started taking this new bus a few months ago, the faux hawk had grown into some weird Hitler hair and he was sporting this ginormous beard. Still, I thought he was hot.
I hopped on the bus Monday all aflutter at the thought of seeing him again and the Hitler hair and AxMan beard were gone. He's practically preppie now...except for the scowl. Our eyes have met on occasion and I can't tell if it's accidental or on purpose. I sound like a high school freshman. Gag me with a spoon!

Coming to terms with the remake
So somebody (fucking Michael Bay) is maybe gonna make a remake of Rosemary's Baby. While I'm still smarting over that Halloween debacle Rob Zombie hoisted onto the masses, I'm starting to get over the remake thing. Slooooooowly.
It occurred to me this weekend when watching John Carpenter's The Thing again. I have to wonder how many people were super-pissed back in 1981 when they learned that was being remade. I mean, Carpenter admitted to being a fanboy of the original, much like Zombie talked about the beauty of Carpenter's classic Halloween. Wouldn't people of Carpenter's generation have been appalled to learn that this so-called fan was trying to improve on what they considered a classic? (Granted, I think he did improve on it, but I'm a spring chicken compared to those guys.)
There are also the classics like Dracula (or Nosferatu, if you prefer) and Frankenstein which have been redone and reimagined to death over the years. Think of life without the Hammer versions of those films. *shudder* Now, think of life without Coppola's Dracula...wait, bad example.
While the seeming lack of originality is verging on unbearable, the movie industry is still pretty young (considering, you know, human existance). It makes some sense that Hollywood would want to reinterpret old stuff for new (younger dumber) generations.

Embarrassing musical taste
You know what I like? I like that new Miley Cyrus song (or is it a Hannah Montana song?). I know I shouldn't but dammit, it's catching and it has this 80s techno feel to it that makes me a little nostalgic. It kind of puts me in mind of Madonna's "Everybody". I'm not gonna download it to my iPod or anything, but I don't dive for the radio to change the station when it comes on...unlike, say, Sean Kingston. Hate him.
Oh, but there is more! For I did add some Backstreet Boys to my iPod. What can I say? I bought the CD ages ago and now that I need to sell some CDs, I figure I may as well keep some of the songs. And well, fuck it! I'll admit that I actually liked 3 BB songs. You got issues with that? Well, in the words of Whitney Houston: KissMyAss!
Anyway. I just thought I'd throw that out there.
You know what I have discovered. This! So much fun to listen to these. I watched The Thing againsomemore this weekend (twice actually, for I cannot get enough of the Carpenter/Russell commentary track), and was kinda stoked when I saw the original short story as one of the podcasts. I just listened and it's short (30 minutes) but good and made better because the actors in it are Scottish. Love the accents.
