Happy Birthday Angie!

Cold February

It's not really very cold actually. In fact, yesterday it was 64 degrees. But, overall, February keeps people in doors and so not too much is going on. I'm sick, again. I have the worst immune system - OR, it's working around sick people all day long. Either or. I probably should eat more fru-its and veget-ables (T&S reference).

Anyway... you can follow me on Twitter ----->

Pre-Cliks

Hey Everyone!

I've been looking forward to Tuesday night's show, The Cliks. Now, I see we're expecting snow and ice tomorrow afternoon until Wednesday, when it turns to rain. The one night I have plans! Grrr! Well, I still plan to make the trip down to see the show, so I guess I'll see how the weather holds up.

In other news, I'm not taking my crush to the show. However, she said she's heard of "The Cliks." REALLY?!? I'll have to ask if she knows Tegan & Sara, or Bette & Tina. Ha, ha! Anyway, I just plan on keeping things cool and see how things progress. We'll see.... :-)

The Cliks - "Cry Me A River"

A Brief Update

Just an update.... remember that recent crush of mine? And the majority view that she was straight? Well, finally some good news. There's no way she's 100% straight... and our friendship continues to progress well. :-)

Also, on Tuesdays I'm seeing The Cliks! I'm really excited! Don't know The Cliks?! Well, check them out below.

I know I go MIA sometimes, but that's mostly just because I try to pick up as many extra shifts at work as I can... which leads me to extreme exhaustion. I will try to be better about updating on Twitter, especially. (I heart Twitter!)

The Cliks - "Oh Yeah"

HOLY.. UPSET!!!!!!

Congratulations to the
NEW YORK GIANTS!

Super Bowl XL II Champs!!!!!


What an upset, and I have to say WOW, I'm really excited for my New York Team!
(And can't believe Bill Belicick walked off field!)

CONGRATS to the Eli Manning - MVP!
Maybe there will be a parade party I can go to! :-)

.... see ya again in September 2008!

So Jealous

It's clear to me, that the creators of the "L Word" are jealous of me... how do I know this? They are copying my life. They gave Shane the same vehicle that I own, and now, they gave Alice the iPhone (although she doesn't have it in every "phone scene." I blame filming out of sequence, and the June release day of the L Word.) Umm... I guess that's all the coincidences.

So, I actually liked the ending of this past episode. It actually got my attention, and I had to rewind the TiVo. It made me smile.

Happy Tuesday.

Heath Ledger: 1979 - 2008

I worked all day yesterday until 11:30pm - in a cave, essentially. So I learned of Heath Ledger's death Wednesday at 2pm - 24 hours later. I'm just so sad! I really liked him. I loved "10 Things I Hate About You," "Brokeback" (of course), "Monster's Ball"... ugh. Just so sad. Feel so sad for his family, friends, and of course, his little daughter Matilda. SO Sad.

Nice!!!!!

Congratulations to the NY Giants!

They barely beat out Green Bay,
and are now headed to the Super Bowl!
Does this mean lots of parties in two weeks? Hope so!

Like O, Like H

Tegan on the right.
Sara on left.
I'm guessing everyone thinks Tegan's bangs look better here?!

Look me in the eye
And tell me you don't find me attractive
Look in my the heart
And tell me you won't go
Look me in the heart
And unbreak broken
It won't happen

Hope That You'll Hear Me

Oh and I'm feeling
Directionless yes
But that's too be expected
And I know that best

You've just written wondering
And I reply fast

A feel like a fool
So I'm gonna stop troubling you

My Number

He grabs me by the hand

Drags me to the shore and says
Maybe you don't love me
But you'll grow to love me even more

2008.... thus far

I got sick on New Years Eve... and have been sick since. Last week I pushed myself to get to work, as I have not yet accumulated any sick time this year yet. We used to get our days up front on Jan. 1, but not any more. So, basically you can't take vacation or get sick in January without losing pay. I've missed work yesterday and today. And unlike passed jobs where I didn't give two shits if I missed work, I really kinda have to be there...

So let's recap 2008 thus far:
* Got Sick - Dec. 31
* Slept all day Jan. 1
* Worked with sore throat and no voice for three days
* Slept all day Saturday
* Had previously agreed to babysit on Sunday - went reluctantly... and still sick.
* Sunday night, I felt worse - severe headache
* Didn't sleep Sunday evening
* Monday, Jan 7, thought I would die from severe headache/sinus pain.... went to doctor.
* Was told I had a secondary infection. Antibiotics will take a few days to kick in.
* Nearly died yesterday from pain (okay, slight exaggeration)
* Missing work again today - pain continues but slightly reduced

Well, so far 2008 has been a bust.

:-)

To the New Year - 2008!!!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Any resolutions?

I don't do resolutions... however, I finally got around to joining the gym the other day. I refuse to go tomorrow though, because I've done that before and the gym is always PACKED on Jan. 1! Ha!

What possibilities does the future hold?

Enjoy!

Happy New "L Word" Season!

Non-Spoilers Here....

I just, finally, finished watching the L Word, Season 5 Ep. 1 premiere off OurChart. Pretty cool they streamed it. Of course, at 9am PST time, the entire site was crashing and "no connections" could be made. Not surprisingly actually. Even if I did plan my day around it. So, at 1:30pm EST (10:30am PST, for all those who care), I was able to log into Showtime's link and view. BUT, I had plans at 3pm, and needed to get some booze and drive to my friends house prior to 3pm (I wasn't drinking while driving - that's illegal and dangerous - don't do it!).

Semi-Spoiler Alert Here!

So anyway, at 9pm, I got home and watched it. Here's my synopsis. Jenny is mad-crazy, and I actually HATE (yes, HATE) that they continue to feed into the "Jenny is crazy" camp. I remember Ilene saying she related most to Jenny in the beginning. Now she's just off the wall. However, Mia looks fucking HOT! Shane needs a hair cut. Which is ironic, since she is a stylist. I realized Joyce reminds me exactly of someone I work with (voice, sarcasm) - very funny & fantastic. Alice is always too cute. Poor Helena. Bette and Tina look mighty fine. Sexual tension anyone? Jodi still annoys me (Bette, I liked your efforts with the table!) Who else? Max was fine, even if Alice did completely insult him. I'm sure I'm forgetting people.... oh, or am I thinking there are more characters than there are? Yes, I forgot. Apparently half of them "got lost" during the past "three or so weeks" from the old season til now.

Back to reality...

If I have $5 for every time someone has asked me if I have a boyfriend yet, in the past 2 weeks (including tonight)... I would have won more money than my boy's fantasy football jackpot (errr... that was $450). It's getting old, and it's getting annoying. Why the fuck does anyone give a shit? Are they implying I'm getting old or that I'm lonely? Shut the fuck up and focus on yourself, and please stop asking about my sex life.

Thank you for letting me vent.

Off to bed. Night.

My Crush...

... is straight.

She e-mailed me and joked saying she's asking Santa for a "great guy!" BLAH! Couldn't she have just left that out? How do you turn straight girls bi or gay? Any hints? Whatever. Just another lost cause. (Sad).

Well, at least tomorrow I start my vacation around Noon. I can then proceed to drown my sorrows in alcohol. Bummer.

PS - I just tried to make myself feel better, by e-mailing my old crush. :-)

Mélange Lavonne

I was watching LOGO last weekend and saw some good music videos. I instantly loved this song. Please take the time to listen. The lyrics are great! (IMHO)

Mélange Lavonne - Gash Bash



So, I think I have a little crush on someone I work with. She's an intern. I'm sure she's straight - talked about some guy she recently broke up with someone... but one never knows. Hell, I was straight once too, right? :-) Anyway, we might hang out during the holiday break. I'm pretty sure this will end with me having stronger feelings for her and it going no where... so at least it will continue to be a consistent aspect of my life. Hmmm...

Trailer Talk

I know, I know, I know... some people don't like Tegan & Sara. I don't get it really, but I'm learning to respect you. Ha, Ha! However, if you're not into their music, perhaps you can get into their banter. They are really funny together, and just play off each other so well. They have been recording "Trailer Talk" - live from their trailer while on the road. It's similar to something they did on the DVD release with their new album, but now they do it in their trailer as they freeze their asses off (well, in the northern states anyway). Enjoy! (An update on ME, is below)

So here's a Kai update: Ummm... nothing much going on. End of update. Just kidding. I'm trying to get back to blogging after a much needed mental break. Anyway, I think those happy pills are really starting to work! Especially when you take them with alcohol! All your problems just go away! ;-)

No, but seriously, just been working a lot and don't have access to blogs and fun stuff at work. Plus, I'm pretty sure my work computer is running Windows 3.1, even if it says XP.

Today, my co-worker told me I need to stop working so many extra hours, and get a social life. Little does she know that my part-time job at night provides some good opportunities for flirting. :-)

Say What?

I don't blog, because I don't really have anything to say.

However, I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a great birthday week/Thanksgiving week. It started off with a Tegan & Sara concert! I love them! They are so cool, and my crush on Tegan just gets bigger!

Then EARLY the next morning (I was very sleepy!) I flew down to Florida. The weather was warm and beautiful. I unexpectedly had to rent a car - my cousin's car had broken down and she couldn't pick me up from the airport. Anyway, the car agent saw it was my birthday the next day and gave me some cool little sports car. So, I drove around Fort Lauderdale in style!

On my birthday, I went to the beach and relaxed. It was so nice. That night, I went out to dinner and then saw my girl, Tori Amos perform! It was incredible to see her perform on my birthday - felt very special. Plus, it was cool to be around a different audience. They seemed a bit more intense, and excited. I guess NY'ers are more laid back (perhaps?).

Thanksgiving was another lovely day. I went swimming at the beach and cruised around. Dinner consisted of eggplant, sweet potatoes and veggies (I don't particularly like Turkey). Then I watched the football game. Overall, it was a great birthday week!

In the midst of all this, I accidentally put a Rilo Kiley song into my Tegan & Sara mega-mix on my iPod, and now I'm becoming obsessed with Jenny Lewis and Rilo Kiley.

Go ahead, sing along!

Small Break

Hey everyone -

Things are a bit overwhelming right now for a variety of reasons. I need to take a small break from blogging. I'll try to stay on twitter.

Be back soon...

xoxo

Musher's Camp - Skagway, Alaska

We went dog sledding (without the snow) while in Alaska. The dogs were awesome, and the ride through the woods was so much fun!





How cute is that puppy?

I'm working tomorrow night (Tuesday). I should see that "new friend" of mine. :-)
