hollywood is retarded, plus my weekend plans

• What's up folks? It's me, back again. Nothing too thrilling going on. Wednesday I didn't get to bed until way late. After I got off work I hit the gym, did the shopping at Walmart and Lucky, went back to my parents' house to sort out groceries, went by the bank to deposit a check, stopped by the dentist since I owed her money, then Walmart called and my glasses were finally ready. Then I got home and had to put away all the groceries, feed the cat, scoop his litterbox and start some laundry. I was exhausted. I woke up later that night and I was still tired, I hate it when that happens.
  
• Thursday wasn't too bad. I worked at my other job, then came home and put away laundry and ate dinner. Then I watched The Boys And Girls Guide To Getting Down. It was basically a mockumentary of hipsters who live in L.A. who do too many drugs and sleep around. What's kinda scary is that way too many people have the mentality that it's okay. Obviously the movie was a satire and over exaggerated things, but still kinda gives out the wrong message It's not okay to sleep with random people. It's not okay to get drunk, then smoke weed or snort coke on top of it. It's not really okay to get drunk. I haven't gotten "drunk" in about 6 years now. I have a few drinks on a Friday night or something, but that's it. I also keep my legs closed. I've had way too much temptation but I've been sex free for over 2 years and counting. I also can't dress like some wannabe fashionista, and I'm way too fat to get into a trendy party if I tried. The movie had some really funny parts, but still I don't like the message it was sending to the twentysomethings out there. Seriously.
  
• I found a quote online from Judge Reinhold, least it's on his website. He's an actor, and a Christian, and seems to be a pretty cool one. "Hollywood is the most socially skilled but relationally retarded city on earth." That pretty much surmises up most of the media and what it portrays, doesn't it? Any thoughts??
  
• After that I started watching Intensity, a movie based on a Dean Kootz novel. I only wanted to see it since John C. McGinley who plays Dr. Cox on Scrubs is the scary bad guy. I've only watched about 30 min of it so far, and it's scary. Hence why I almost never watch freaky violent movies. They give me weird dreams. Not funny weird, but scary weird.
  
• My weekend will hopefully be kinda laid back. I gotta work at Traffic.com in the afternoon, then home to relax and chill with Cathy. Saturday I got KDFC then the gym, then I want to go do housework and veg out at home. Sunday we're missing church again but my cousin's son's dedication is at some church in Livermore so I'll be attending that instead. Sorry Davina, between Lodi weekends and family stuff I haven't gone to church in like a month. I'm hoping to go a week from Sunday though. Yay.
  

i need me time

• What's up my homies? Nothing much here, really. Been working, taking my family places, and trying to get rest in between. Monday I worked in Emeryville, came home, ate dinner, watched The Story Of The Cross (good story but told in a very cheesy way by Judge Reinhold), came to work here. I actually had work here yesterday morning. A few probs overseas and stuff. Oh well.
  
• Yesterday after work I hit the gym, then got my oil changed. Then we picked up Dad and hit up Starbucks, where some schizophrenic lady was having a very loud conversation with herself. I shouldn't have found it funny but I did since she kept mentioning Sharon Stone, and Dad kept asking loudly "what the hell was wrong with her". Hey those were his words, not mine. Haha. After that we went to Worley's to pick up some pillboxes for Dad, least I think that's what we were there for. By that time I had been up about 19 hours and frankly didn't care, and napped in the car. Then I drove them home and went to bed. Later on I woke up, showered and took them to dinner at Applebee's in Alameda. Dad hadn't been there before, and fortunately he liked it. Then we browsed at Borders, I dropped them off, went home and relaxed for about 45 minutes and came to work.
  
• Today I'll be going to the gym again, then doing the weekly grocery run. I'm letting Michelle know that I am resting the rest of the day. No dinner outings, I need SLEEP. REST. PLEASE. I also let her know that Friday evening I'd like to relax at home with my other sister and watch Zoobilee Zoo. I love my family but I need "Lisa time" or my head will explode. I'm sure you guys understand.
  

lifetime movie overload

• And.. I'm back. My weekend was fun as always. Friday evening I worked at Traffic.com then went to dinner at Applebee's in Alameda with Michelle, and browsed at Borders for a bit. Then I took her to Emeryville to show her where I work. Later on I came home and hit the hay. I was tired as you can imagine.
  
• Saturday was my usual job in San Francisco, then off to Lodi for 80stastic fun with Kimmie. First order of business was watching No One Would Tell starring Fred Savage as a very possessive and abusive boyfriend of Candace Cameron's. He ends up killing her in the end, it's horrible. After that traumatic event we went for dinner at Rick's Pizza down the street. Very tasty. Then we stopped at the House of Coffee for dessert. I love iced mochas. We have some INTERESTING vlogs from this adventure, and when my computer is back in my possession and I'm actually awake enough to upload things, I'll edit it all together. After our little field trip, we went back home to watch Promised A Miracle starring Judge Reinhold and Rosanna Arquette. It was good, and sad because it's a true story. That Fred Savage movie was a true story too. It's crazy what people have the capacity to do. Then we watched the beginning of Darkness Before Dawn starring Merdith Baxter-Birney, the queen of Lifetime movies and Movies Of The Week. Haha. We ended up conking out halfway through it, but oh well.
  
• Sunday we woke up after about 9 hours of blissful sleep, made some coffee and finished the cinematic masterpiece of Darkness Before Dawn. Stephen Lang who played her also drug addicted husband (both of them had meth/heroin problems.. scary) had some jammin hair.. seriously. He looked like Kenny Loggins getting electrocuted. The most volumized hair/beard combo I've ever encountered. That movie ended and we took another field trip to A&W for lunch, where I took inappropriate pictures with the bear mascot. Then off to the 99 Cent store, where I found a 3 episode video of Zoobilee Zoo for 59 cents. Talk about a steal. When we got home I tortured her with Off Beat starring Judge Reinhold, Meg Tilly, and the bald principal from Back The To Future. Judge on rollerskates learning modern dance. Enough said. Then we watched one of my mother's faves, Not Without My Daughter starring Sally Field and Alfred Molina who portrays a major ass. That's putting it lightly. I'm glad Sally escaped. I saw this movie in 10th grade history class, and way too many times at home. Mom was a major Sally Field fan. It's a good story, and scary to see how women are treated in other countries. The movies we watched this weekend were just so full of drama, seriously. Last show of the night lightened things up a bit. I forced Kimmie to watch Judge Reinhold hosting Saturday Night Live with musical guests the 10,000 Maniacs. Boy that was interesting. All I can say really.
  
• I was late for work again. This happened last time I went to Kimmie's. Traffic in Tracy sucks. Instead of just having that one area of construction in the middle of Tracy, there's another construction zone right on the bottom of the Altamont Pass as you're leaving the city. By the time I got back to San Lorenzo to grab food I was almost out of gas so I had to fill up. Then I got to work and clocked in like 45 min late (thanks Caltrans.. ugh) and took Victoria home. That's about it. Oh yeah, we had Taco Bell for dinner. I had my food from the "Fresco" menu so it was supposed to be lower in fat. I guess. Oh well, I'm back to my healthy eating tomorrow anyway. Okay off to go through bulletins and surveys and maybe take a semi-nap. Yay.
  
• Catch phrases of the weekend. "Hi.. I'm Ted.. won't you sing with meeee?" "Welcome to Mandys N More, free adult diapers with every purchase." "Thanks cerebral palsy!!" "Oh my god it's a Jimmy Olson/Cheech Marin hybrid!" "Fitness Works (name of a gym there in town we passed).. not for us!!" "She looks like one of the Fly Girls from In Living Color.. seriously check the spandex."

im such a klutz

• Howdy doody!!! Me again, and as always thank God it's Friday. This week went by pretty quick. Let's see Wednesday was pretty uneventful. I didn't get in bed until about 1pm. Oh I finally got a hold of a human being at Gateway. Their software distributor had some sort of meltdown last week so all their orders are backed up. So.. I'm still waiting. *sigh* I did go to the gym on Wednesday morning, which is really rad.
  
• Thursday was pretty cool. Except that I broke my glasses. I am such a freaking klutz, it's horrible. Well Spencer's the one who knocked them off my nightstand and I'm the one who rolled out of bed after hitting the alarm and stepped on them. They're pretty bent up, and I still wear them for driving. That's about it. So I'm seriously squinting right now but those frames are embarrassing. I have an appointment with the optometrist at Walmart early this afternoon, so I can get my eyes examined and pick out new frames. I hate it when this happens. I'm glad my work reimburses me 80%. Whew.
  
• This weekend will be awesome beyond compare. Aside from the fact that I'm working this afternoon and Saturday morning, but no biggie. Oh plus the fact that I'm blind as a bat and my head hurts. I'll be going to Lodi for another 80stastic weekend. I have plenty of material to watch and so does Kimmie. Yay.
• Oh here's a video from my bday party last month that Amy posted. I'll be uploading some pics that Amy just added to her page in a bit. Some of em are hilarious, especially my butt shot.
  

Lisas Bday

Wow I got sleep today

• Word up homies! Me again just checking in, rocking out to Tears For Fears. Not too much excitement going on, since it's the middle of the week. Monday I worked both jobs, and ate/watched TV in between. Tuesday was pretty cool since I actually got a great workout at the gym, went home and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors, then went to bed. I slept 9 hours. It was great. Then Michelle called and wanted to go out to eat, so we went to TGI Fridays. I was bad and had a chicken sandwich with both deep fried green beans and a house salad. I couldn't help myself, those green beans are awesome. Then I went home and watched some of Scrubs season 2 on DVD, then came here. Whoo excitement.
  
• Oh yes update on the computer. STILL waiting on the software. I tried calling Gateway yesterday but fell asleep while I was on hold and they hung up on me. I will make it a point to try to stay awake until a human being comes on the line when I call later today. Since today is gym/grocery day, I probably won't be in bed until noon. I will call Gateway while sitting up so I'll have less of a chance of passing out. Hahahaha. I don't know if some of you realize it but I spend most of my waking hours on weekdays either running errands, asleep or at work.. so not much time to spend on hold with some automated lady telling me to enter my serial number. I do need this software so I can get my freakin computer back, mostly because I have TONS of pics and videos to upload. Oh well, it'll happen eventually.
  

pretty cool weekend

• Hey there homie g funks! Another work week. *sigh* I'm only working like 60 hours this week, which is like 10 hours less than last week. Yay! My weekend was pretty cool, lemme tell ya all about it. Friday I worked from 12:30 to 8pm at Traffic.com, and watched a lot of Montel Williams. I could have gone out and partied, but I'm an old woman now. I opted for going home to watch Earth Girls Are Easy, have a Kahlua with milk and head on to bed. Not too thrilling, I told you.
  
• Saturday I did the KDFC gig, and I actually had to do a little work. Haha. Troubleshooting is fun, and one of my strong points. Then once I got back to the east bay I headed on over to the gym and did a massive one hour workout. 30 min of cardio, 30 min of conditioning. Mostly using the ab machine and doing arm work. My butt was hurting from jogging and my calves are already muscular enough. After sweating a gallon (or so it seemed), I went home to do housework, then took Dad and Michelle out to dinner. Red Robin again, it was tasty. Oh I was kinda bad. I bought a DVD/VCR combo for my room. The VCR that's built into my TV stopped working years ago, and my PS2 only works when it wants to. The combo was $76 with tax, so it could be worse I guess. Then I got 10% off on DVDs so I picked up Fast Times At Ridgemont High with the director/writer commentary, and The Muppets Take Manhattan. I know, I should save my money. *sigh* From now on I'm keeping a tighter reign on my dough, but it's rough. Least I have a place to watch my movies when TJ's watching Ocean's Thirteen or some crap like that. He gets irritated when he's trying to watch a movie, since I always include my own commentary, or ask 75,000 questions. I can't help it. You should watch movies with Kimmie and I. Now WE do commentary. Seriously. Anyway, after dinner and picking up my new toys at Circuit City, I went home and watched tons of movies, and didn't get in bed until like 1am.
  
• Sunday I had the privilege of taking my older sister to Kaiser, since she had a lovely UTI. Again. This stole an hour of precious time away from my busy life. Dad was with us, he was in a relatively good mood. The reason Dad came along is because after Kaiser we drove up to Sebastopol to put flowers on Mom's grave, and our other dead relatives too. It was fun. Okay not really, it was sad/emotional. I like saying it's fun because we always go for lunch afterwards. We chose McDonalds since they have shakes and Dad can actually drink shakes without choking. I was a BAD GIRL. I had a grilled chicken club sandwich and FRIES. No salt on them, but still they were FRIES. Not apple slices. Bad Lisa *slapping own wrist*. Afterwards we tried to check out the flea market they had down the road, but they were packing up for the day. Oh well, next time. I need to find out when the Gravenstein Apple Fair is. We went to that quite often as a kid. I can't wait. So I drove my folks home, and went back to my house to nap and watch more movies. I rested for a bit, then Leeanne invited me for pizza at La Val's in Oakland with her and some other friends. Tricia and Kevin came too. I had gourmet vegetarian pizza, it was tasty. Then we hung out at some bar down the street, where Leeanne and her friend Matt played Guitar Hero while Tricia and I talked radio. Fun times for all. Well now I'm at work blogging and killing time. I'm going to be SO tired by the time I get home in the morning.
  

i need help.. lol

• Happy 4th of July folks!! *Stars and Stripes Forever playing.. * Hooray for national holidays, and hooray for holiday pay. I'll be getting some for my shift over at Traffic.com this afternoon. Haha. I'm having weird emotional fluctuations today, I think it's my hormones. I'm either really happy, or really sad or pissed. It's great. I'm trying to stay on the happy end of it, for sure. I'm also really tired, but I may take a half nap later on. I'm only sleeping like 3 1/2 hours this morning in between jobs, but I don't have to work here tonight so at least I can get some sleep.
  
• Man I wish I had more exciting stuff to discuss. I work, sleep, eat, work, sleep more. I got paid yesterday and that rocked, I was happy. Let's see the only things I have of interest right now are random Judge Reinhold facts, mostly from the Beverly Hills Cop movies. He was on a health kick in 1992-1993 so when he filmed BHC III, he looked very orange from his excess carrot juice intake. If you've also seen the crappy movie Four Eyes and Six Guns, he's very orange in that as well. Most of his dialogue with Eddie Murphy is improvised because Eddie Murphy is.. well Eddie Murphy. He injured his back when John Ashton (his partner Taggert) jumped on him during a scene when they were scaling a wall in the first BHC. He finally got it fixed around 2001 or so when he started work with a personal trainer, so he kinda slouched for a few decades in case anyone cares. It took 12 hours to film the scene in the strip club in BHC II, from 5pm to 5am. During the filming of BHC III at Great America, it was often hard to find cast members, including himself and director John Landis, since they were on random rides like Top Gun at 2am. Oh and when he first moved to L.A. he worked at a frozen yogurt place. Hahaha. I need help.
  

monotonousness.. did I spell that right? haha.

• Waaaaaaaz uuuuuup??? Sorry I just wanted to get that out of my system. How are y'all doing? I'm hanging in there, working another 12 hour shift. I worked one yesterday too. It's not stressful or anything, but after a while I feel like a caged and bored animal. Myspace and Youtube can only be entertaining for so long. I think later on tonight I'll try some Myspace games, I see they have more to choose from. Maybe I'll play Literati on Yahoo, haven't done that in AGES. My score sucks, but oh well.
  
• No real excitement other than that to report. This morning I went grocery shopping with Michelle, oooh ahhh. Tomorrow I'm working at Traffic.com, coming home, making dinner, watching some TV and coming here. Same for Thursday. Friday I'm working a long shift at Traffic.com then getting off in time to go somewhere, not sure yet. I want to leave my 4th of July opportunities open, since everyone texts/calls me last minute for things. Last Friday night I got invited to go out with 3 different people doing various activities, but had already said "Yes" to Michelle. She was bummed since she wanted to take Dad out for the 4th, but I'm like "Dude, c'mon let me enjoy my holiday, I'm a workaholic and I'm off after 8pm. Chill out." I'm so nice.
  
• Also, in case ya'll didn't notice I had my sexy revamped pic as my default earlier. I liked it and I got several "ooh baby" comments on it. I wanted to see if I'd get compliments, and the ones I recieved were positive. I know it's kinda making me look like a ho or whatever, but once in a while I like to be reminded that I'm a hot babe, since guys don't tend to give me the time of day. Well my ex does. You know what I mean. I changed my default to a pic of me when I was about 8 or 9 trying to learn how to roller skate on Christmas Day. As you can see, it didn't go well. Haha. I was a funny kid, and I wish I could somehow transport myself back to 88 or 89, I miss those days.
  

even robots think I'm loud

• What's up homie G's? What's crack a lackin? I think that's what kids these days say, not completely sure. I had a pretty cool weekend. I actually got enough sleep for once, which is great because this week I'm working A LOT. Seriously. Let's see on Friday morning I went home and slept, got up, and worked at Traffic.com from 3-7pm. Then I took Michelle out to dinner at Applebees (although I was mad at her since I came to pick her up and she was still in her freakin nightgown...) and went home and rested. I finished Hostage Train by the way, that movie was total cheese, but I love it. Then I watched City Slickers and went to bed.
  
• On Saturday I worked at KDFC as usual, then hit the gym and worked it seriously for like an hour. I was hecka sweaty and my heart rate was up pretty high. It was awesome. Then I took Dad to get his prescription filled for his new glasses at Walmart, and picked myself up a new outfit while I was there. Later on at home I had a Gardenburger and broccoli for dinner, and watched Stripes with TJ and Cathy. Later on I put on Black Magic, another bad Judge Reinhold movie. By the way did I mention he's in Stripes? Hahaha. Anyway in Black Magic, he's going to some town in the south to find out what happened to his dead cousin who keeps haunting his dreams. His dead cousin is played by Anthony LaPaglia, that dude from Without A Trace with a rockin mullet. I don't know the witch lady's name and I'm too lazy to look it up on IMDB. So he falls in love with this chick and she curses him, but he can't find it in his heart to kill her. He ends up getting creamed when she sets her house on fire and second floor falls on him. Good lord. Not as bad as seeing him bite it by being pushed off a cliff by Crystal Bernard. Niiiiice. After this movie, Cathy and TJ came back out in the living room (they had been "hiding" in their room during this awful movie but they were probably doing you know what.. gross), and we watched The Simpsons Movie. Very good.
  
• On Sunday I took Michelle and my dad to the county fair. It was really fun. I had a greasy cheeseburger which gave me a tummyache later on, baked beans (haha), half of dad's chocolate milkshake, and half of a funnel cake. I love carnival food. We looked at all the exhibits, watched roller derby, pet lots of barnyard animals, and I met a talking robot who said I was very loud. It was a great experience. You'll see pics when I get the computer back. Any day on the software, Gateway. Thanks. Oh yeah, I watched behind the scenes featurettes for Beverly Hills Cop II and III and learned even more annoying facts about Judge Reinhold. Hahahaha! Thought I'd throw that out there.
  
• Oh yeah, way too much info for most of you, but I'm surfing the crimson tide, if you know what I mean. Yes it's back, with full force. Let's just say we have a new name for the couch now. ROTF
  

Tookie!

• What's up homie G's? Yay it's Friday! I love Fridays, seriously. Can you tell? I think it's because I have an insane work week. Yes I have to work 3-7pm at Traffic.com. Yes I work 8a-1p tomorrow at KDFC. Least I get tonight off from work. I sleep, yes precious sleep. Am I making much sense so far? I hope so.
  
• As usual, not too much going on. Wednesday I worked, ate, worked again, blah blah. Thursday morning I worked out at the gym, took Dad and Michelle to Walmart, Lucky, Starbucks and Petsmart. Didn't get in bed until like 1pm. I was up for 23 hours or so, really tired. Then I got up, ate some Vietnamese food TJ got for me, watched the end of Hostage Train (Judge was in his undies in one scene kicking this Russian dude's butt.. it was hot) and came to work. Here I am. I did like 2 1/2 hours of bible study, no joke. Only interrupted by three phone calls, two of them from Michelle who apparently doesn't sleep. Other was Davina, she's awesome.
  
• I plan on actually sleeping this weekend for once. Well I'll try. I'll also be spending A LOT of time with Michelle and my dad, and although that's kind of annoying, family does come first. I'm planning on taking dad to the fair on Sunday, that should be fun. Hopefully I'll have cool stuff to report on my blog late Sunday night/Monday morning.. whatever it is.
  

same ol crap

• What's up my homies? It's the middle of the week, and I'm beat. These 60-70 hour work weeks are insane, but they should slow down in a few weeks. I don't mind it though, once I get the paychecks I'll be happy. Nothing much has been going on the last few days, really.
  
• Both Monday and Tuesday I slept, got up, showered, ate, went to work, came home and ate dinner, watched bad Judge Reinhold movies and went to my fulltime job. I'm doing exactly the same thing today, too. Thursday morning I'll finally be able to hit the gym and do the weekly grocery run, and then I can catch up on sleep that afternoon/evening. Then I'm working Friday afternoon and I can catch up on rest Friday night.
  
• Oh god the bad movies I've watched the last few days are great. In Four Eyes and Six Guns Judge Reinhold plays an 1800s optometrist who moves to Tombstone to help Wyatt Earp see better. It's awful, but I love it. I also watched Baby On Board earlier, well 3/4 of it. Nothing says barf like watching Judge make out with Carol Kane. Can I get an amen? The little girl in it is cute and the gags are retarded, but so are most bad family films. I wouldn't call it much of a family film since there's lots of violence/shooting with mob folks running after Carol Kane (hahahaha) but it's got the cheese. Judge has long hair pulled back and a scary looking mustache going on, it's wonderful. Okay now I'm going to rock out to the Free Willy soundtrack (I love Michael Jackson) and try to stay awake.
  

My name is Judge..

• The Lisa is back, and you know she can never be wack.. the Lisa is back, cuz you know she's the Lisaaaaaaaa.. (that's from a Fat Boys song in case ya didn't know) I am all kinds of tired, but I had an awesome weekend. Friday was hotter than a you know what, and after I got off work at Traffic.com I took Michelle and Dad to dinner at Red Robin so he could get out of the house. Then I went home and watched Friends with Cathy and went to bed.
  
• Saturday morning I did my usual gig at KDFC. It was pretty cool, and we got a second coffee machine. This one does froofy drinks like mochas, french vanilla coffee, cappuccino and that kind of thing. I had a decaf mocha and it was tasty. Afterward I went back to the east bay, hit up Jamba Juice (the one at Bayfair is GHETTOTASTIC!), and headed off to Lodi.
  
• I had so much fun at Kimmie's house, as I usually do. When I first got there she had several presents to give me for my bday. That woman always overdoes it with the gifts, but I'm used to it by now. Haha. First of all her mom gave me the most random gifts ever. A plastic toy gun that shoots marshmallows, and Cheech and Chong's Greatest Hits on cassette. What is some old white lady doing with Cheech and Chong tapes? ROTF. Okay Kimmie gave me a buttload of stuff. In Living Color season 1, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Highway To Heaven Season 1 (cheesetastic!), Christopher Reeve's book, Christina Crawford's second book (sequel to Mommie Dearest), and Sybil (the novel, not Sally Field movie). I have plenty of stuff to watch and read now, for sure. First movie we watched was the Richard Donner cut of Superman II. See about halfway through filming of the second movie they changed directors to some other dude who totally rearranged the film to it's cheesy theatrical release. Well this is the version the original director had in mind. It was pretty good. Then we ate dinner, a nice homemade dinner Kimmie made from scratch, on the good dishes and silverware. She also had a pink rose in a vase on the table. This meant a lot to me because my mom loved pink roses. We had a great pot roast, mashed potatoes, yummy veggies and croissants. For dessert we had new york style cheesecake with chocolate gnash (ga-nosh) on the top. It was FANTASTIC. Yes Cathy I brought some home if you'd like to try it. The next movie we watched was No Place Like Home starring Judge Reinhold, Richard Moll, and a cast of unknowns who later did random crap on the WB. To me it seemed like a bad cross between Kyle XY and E.T. Judge seemed like he was pissed the whole movie and didn't even try to act, either that or his character was very manic depressive. It was so bad it was hilarious. After that we watched Teen Wolf, then Coming Unglued, another bad Judge Reinhold movie also starring Joely Fisher. These Lifetime movie kings/queens seem to stick together, don't they? Haha. The acting wasn't so bad in this one, but the cheesy family movie background music was getting to be a bit much after a while. Next up was Mannequin, a staple for any 80s good time. Meshach Taylor as a flaming gay guy and hotass Andrew McCarthy are a great combo for fun. While we played Mannequin we played the 80s Game, and I whooped ass two games in a row. Then Kimmie showed me her work so far on the "project", and we called it a night.
  
• On Sunday we ended up sleeping until almost 1pm, but we had gone to bed around 4am the night before. We started our day by ordering pizza and mozzarella sticks for brunch from Woodbridge Pizza and playing another round of the 80s Game while watching Stripes. Harold Ramis with an afro is hot. So is Judge Reinhold trying to smuggle drugs. Hey man, he was smokin hot in his mid 20s, mmmkay? After Stripes we decided to go for ice cream at Baskin Robbins (I had my free ice cream coupon.. haha). I had fudge brownie and Kimmie had pistachio. Yum. Then we had a random shopping spree at Walgreens. I found some $1 DVD with some TV movie of Ted Danson prosecuting a child molester. Now that's going to be interesting. I also picked up some makeup on sale, and some mugs you stick in the freezer to keep your drinks cold. Later on we got back to her place, and I went up to Subway to pick up dinner. I had a cold cut trio sandwich and apple slices, she had oven roasted chicken with Baked Lays. Then we watched 2 episodes of In Living Color (those Fly Girls with the biker shorts and push up bras are hilarious), and I had to skeedaddle outta there. I always have so much fun relaxing and having movie marathons.
  
• Here's some phrases for the weekend.. "Tookie Williams!" "Moses cums on fire?" "duuuurrrrr I'm Teri Hatcher!!!!" "My name is JUDGE!" "Sniff my bag of apple blossom goodies." "Zoom in on my flat titties. My bra came up ladies and gents. Yes Kevin I had a sexy party without you." and "Look I'm Lois, I'll jump out the window! Wait! I can't jump! SHIT!"
  
• Anyway, on the way back I got stuck in MAJOR traffic. I was in Tracy for over an hour. 205 was down to one lane due to construction and took forever to get through. Then I had to scramble home to go potty and grab a few things. I was about an hour late for work. I won't get in trouble, don't worry. I gave Victoria a ride home, and she gave me this huge cat condo that won't fit in her new apartment. Spencer's gonna love it. Well that's all for now. Boy I'm longwinded.
  

dude im old

• I am back from my lovely bday off and I loved it. Did I go crazy? Not exactly. Wednesday morning I went to the gym then did the usual grocery parade with Michelle and Dad. Later on that evening we went to dinner at Marie Callendar's and had ice cream at Coldstone since I had a coupon. I am a coupon fiend as you all know, especially in this economy. I had the rest of the night off from work (thanks to Brad at Family Radio and Paul at Traffic.com for rearranging schedules!!!!) so I used my time wisely by watching bad Judge Reinhold movies. I am such a weirdo. I have more bad Judge movies coming via the good ol Pony Express but they haven't arrived yet. Hopefully I'll get at least one of the four this afternoon so I can bring it on Saturday to Kimmie's. If not I'll bring Stripes and that bad UFO one, girlie.
  
• Thursday I slept in until about 11:30am and it was glorious. After barking at the Gateway people who need to send me restore CDs since mine are nowhere to be found, I ate yummy leftovers, picked up Michelle and went to the gym. Then I worked in Emeryville. Then I came home, said hi to Cathy's friend Amanda and made a bombass dinner. Then Cathy forced me to watch several episodes of Friends, and I watched a funny Dana Carvey special on HBO. Now I'm work and just read 6 chapters in 2 Kings. God telling people to massacre each other for varying reasons, folks being torn apart by dogs. Fun stuff.
  
• I should have a fun weekend since I'm kickin it with Kimmie. I'm bringing my camera, God only knows what kind of pics/footage I'll have by Sunday night. Haha.
  
• One more thing. Do you ever wonder if celebrities fart? I bet they do, but I wonder if they've ever ripped one at the Grammy's or anything? I bet the New Kids fart.. I should ask the New Kids On The Block about their gastrointestinal feats in October. Seriously. "Hey Joey Joe, do you toot on stage?" ROTF
  

go lisa, it's your birthday

• Go Lisa, it's your birthday, gonna party like it's your birthday, drink Kahlua like it's your birthday, you know we don't give a &*$% it's not your birthday.. well it is!!!! WOOOT. I'm excited, although most of my festivities have already taken place. I'm 28 years young now. I'm trying to stay in a positive frame of mind even though this is my first bday without my mom. So much has changed over the past year, it's insane. I live in a different house, drive a different car, have a different cat, one less parent. I am so blessed to have great friends like you guys, seriously. I'm also blessed enough to have 3 jobs, and a very weird sense of humor. I'm blessed in so many ways.
  
• FYI.. I won't be online tonight, I got the night off from all my gigs. I'm going to dinner with my folks and then I will have a nice well rested evening at home catching up on Scrubs DVDs. I think I deserve it. Okay I'll probably make my grocery list and go take a semi-nap here at work. You know.. sleeping but not really sleeping. One last thing before I leave..
  

"My name is JUDGE!"

Anyone seen that episode of Arrested Development? ROTF

woot there it is

• What's up homies? It's almost my bday.. yay I'm old. Like all early Monday morning posts, I'll start this out with "I had an awesome weekend." I did.. really. I mean it wasn't monumentally mindblowing, but it was fun. Friday morning I got my car washed/detailed at Hutch's and went to breakfast with Michelle at Mimi's. I had some yummy breakfast burritos. Then we went to Bally and got Michelle all signed up, and renewed my membership. I was a little too exhausted (having been up about 20 hours and all) to work out at that point, so I went home and slept. I got up around 5:30pm that afternoon, with Cathy and Stuart screaming "Happy Birthday!!" in my face and nearly causing a coronary. I then had one of those situations where a small get together turns into a full fledged party. We ordered pizza, Amy came with her pal David (not Magical David, it was Heart Transplant David), Alisha showed up, then Fernando and Grace came with Joey. Joey is 15 months old and loves chasing cats and helping people unwrap presents. Around 9ish TJ went to bed because he's 28 going on 75. Fernando and Grace left around 10:30, then Jeff showed up. Everyone else seemed to leave around 11pm. The party wasn't over though. Davina got off work around 12:30am, and she and Lorie came around 1. We partied until 3am, and I got 3 hours of sleep. I got great gifts from everyone, including A LOT of lip balm from Cathy and Amy. Hmm I wonder why. Got some cash, AMEX gift card, Best Buy gift card, Jamba Juice gift card, some Doritos (haha), a porcelain Kermit the Frog figurine, Bert and Ernie action figures, Mad Libs, bubbles, and a stuffed Gizmo doll (from Gremlins). So yeah I made out like a bandit.
  
• Saturday morning I woke up and had a slight hangover. I partied a lot the night before, as you can read above. Good thing I've been taking a Vitamin B supplement, that helped speed up my metabolism and get the poison out of my system. You guys know I don't party that often anyway, really. I worked at KDFC as usual and had fun like I always do. When I got back to San Leandro I hit the gym and worked it, y'all. I was jogging again, and it felt great. Then I went home and did major housecleaning, took a nap and Davina and I went to Claimjumper for supper. Man I love that place. Had some garlic bread, whiskey chicken dinner and we shared a brownie finale for dessert. I tried to pay but she wouldn't let me, so I decided to give the cute waiter a good tip. After going home for a potty break, we went to Target. I got all three Beverly Hills Cop movies on DVD. Davina almost got a bike but decided not to at the last minute. We ended up going back to my house and watching Beverly Hills Cop III. Excellent choice. She left and I started watching Gremlins but got tired about 20 min into it and called it a night.
  
• Sunday morning I woke up and took a shower, picked up Michelle and went to church. It was a good sermon, mostly telling dudes to step up and take care of their families, a good Father's Day theme. Too bad most guys out there don't have this mentality anymore. After church Michelle and I hit the gym and worked it again. Cathy showed up and I wished I had my camera on me. All three sisters on treadmills pumping up the jam, it was awesome. If only Mom could have seen us. When I was done sweating my booty off we picked up Dad and went to Best Buy. He bought me seasons 1 and 2 of Scrubs, and I used a giftcard to get a few 80s CDs, along with The Offspring and P.O.D. For Father's Day I gave him a copy of The Sands Of Iwo Jima starring John Wayne, one of his favorites. Then we had a late lunch at In-And-Out Burger. So healthy, I know. Haha. Afterwards I went home and took a LONG nap, came to work and the rest is history.
  
• I apologize to anyone who didn't come to my "party" on Friday night. I didn't intend for it to be a real party, but my sister invited people, I invited a person or two.. food came, booze poured, and yeah.. it happened. My schedule is pretty insane for the next week or two, but we should all hang out sometime. I'm addressing folks I haven't talked to in forever, you know who you are.
  

pre-bday weekend

• Hey there homies. Thank god it's Friday! Whooo. The last few days of course haven't been monumental. Wednesday morning Michelle and I worked out, and got in contact with someone to set her up with a membership. We're going back this morning to get the paperwork done and stuff. Yes believe it or not I was jogging on the treadmill again. I'll try doing that again this morning, too. Yesterday I worked at Traffic.com, my usual gig. I'm working there A LOT next week. I'm insane, yes I know. When I see the check, I won't be disappointed I'll tell you that.
  
• This weekend I don't have too much going on, really. Trying to keep things low key. After work this morning I'm picking up Michelle and getting my car washed/detailed. It needs it, trust me. Then we're doing breakfast at Mimi's Cafe since I have a $10 off coupon for my birthday. Take it from me, sign up for every single restaurant's E-club, and you get plenty of discounts. After a yummy meal, we're gonna go sweat it off at the gym and get our accounts set up. This evening I may have a couple people over for pizza, drinks, whatever. Cathy made me a cake from scratch. I didn't make a giant deal this year since I've been kinda melancholy about the whole thing. First birthday without my mom, it's hard. She's with me in spirit, for sure.
  
• Saturday I've got the KDFC gig, then hitting the gym. Later on in the evening Davina and I have a heterosexual date for dinner at Claimjumper. Haha. If you wanna cheat and eat lots of giant portions of fattening food, that's the place to do it at.
  
• Sunday is church, and Dad wants to take me to Best Buy so he can buy me some DVDs for my bday. He can't go crazy like Mom used to do when she took me shopping, but he still wants to get me something. He means well. Of course he didn't even know that my birthday is next week until Michelle told him. I'm not offended, because even when he still had his marbles he never remembered any of our birthdays or how old we were anyway. I asked him how old he thought I was and he said 22. This was a few days ago. Haha.
  
• Well, I'm gonna go half doze and rock out to Huey Lewis and The News. Adios, mis amigos!
  

she must be somebody's baby

• What's up, my peeps? Not much here. I always say that but then once my brain starts flowing I write about 3-4 paragraphs. Oh well. Let's see what's been going on? I worked Monday night at Traffic.com. That was fun. Then I worked here later on. I had a really bad tummyache and barfed for the first time in over a year. No I didn't eat any tomatoes.
  
• Then yesterday I slept, got up and took my dad's dog to the vet to get his shots, went home and fell back asleep. It was very enjoyable, I needed the rest. I woke up around 6:30pm, took a shower, made dinner, and watched a few movies. It was an enjoyable evening. First Cathy had put on Son In Law, and I got bored about 3/4 of the way through it. Then I realized the cable was out and TJ had mentioned it was out most of the day. I called Comcast and was on the phone with them for about 30 minutes. They concluded that my cable box is defective, and a dude is coming by this afternoon to replace it and make sure all is well in digital cable land. I was still bored afterward so I put on Fast Times At Ridgemont High. I almost wrote Ridgemont Thigh. ROTF. Anyway, y'all know I have a fat crush on Judge Reinhold especially when he's playing Brad Hamilton and he's got a cute butt while washing his car. I need to get this on DVD Special Edition so I can pause and get some nice screencaps. I only have it on VHS. Sad I know. After the movie I grabbed food for work and came here. Exciting.
  
• This morning after work I'm picking up Michelle, we're going to Bally and I'm getting a new membership for myself and her. Mine lapsed over a month ago and I need to get back in my workout routine. Michelle needs to go desperately, and Mom was always encouraging her to lose weight so this should help. If I take her to the gym, she will go. After exercising we're doing the weekly Walmart/Lucky run, which is also thrilling. Then home to wait for the cable guy and sleep. That's about it, folks.
  

some like it hot and some burn when the heat is on

• I'm baaaack. Yeah it's only been 3 days since my last blog update, but oh well. I'm in a really good mood. Not sure why. Maybe it's because I'm working 55 hours this week instead of 63 like last week or 70 a few weeks back. Could also be the pretty fun weekend I just had, despite the extreme lack of sleep on Friday/Saturday.
  
• Let's see on Friday evening I went to dinner with Michelle at Marie Callender again. I seem to be addicted to their cornbread. Oh well. I worked later on that evening here as a favor for Yuriy. I spent a good deal of my shift half asleep, and watching My Girl. Saturday I went to Live 105's BFD with Davina, Cathy, Amy, and Mikey. It was pretty fun. Fun yet exhausting. I was running on about 2 hours of sleep, still had bronchitis and it was pretty hot. I did a lot of dancing and got a fake panda tattoo on my neck from some creepy guy who kept caressing my hair and tried to bite me. Video will be uploaded soon. Oh wait duh.. don't know if I mentioned it but my computer is at Best Buy being fixed.. it does have spyware issues and a virus, so I'll get it back in a week or two. I could have just had the hard drive wiped but I have pictures of my mom on there and stuff, so I'd rather have them take their time restoring it. Getting back to the BFD subject, it was tons of fun. We left pretty early, around 6pm due to exhaustion and Davina's bad reaction to her nachos. I'm sure she's stoked that I'm sharing her potty adventures. We went to In-And-Out after that for dinner (yes I'm bad), got gas in Menlo Park and headed home. I collapsed into bed around 8pm after doing random housework first.
  
• Sunday morning I opted not to go to church so I could get more rest. I slept about 12 hours total. I finally roused myself out of bed, did some dishes and mopped some floors. Then I took a shower, picked up Michelle, and bought my new bike at Target. It's a Tony Hawk "ANGRY" model. I'm not an angry person, but it was the coolest bike there. I need to adjust the seat then I can ride it. I'm excited. We watched TV for a few hours, then I took Michelle and Dad to Red Robin for dinner. Dad paid. Thank god. I'm not exactly broke anymore, but I just paid LOTS of bills, bought NKOTB tickets and a new bike. So yeah, trying to watch the fundage. That's my weekend in a nutshell, folks. I hope the rest of my week goes pretty smooth and I pray that I'll get enough sleep.
• P.S. Manny I'm praying for you. I know you're going through a very rough time and I don't want you to ever think I still don't care about you. :-)
  

YAAAAAAAY

• What's goin on, my peeps? Not much here. Well not much thrilling anyway. I've been working my tooshy off, and I finally got enough sleep yesterday. Eight hours of glorious rest, I loved it. I should get enough sleep today, when I get to. I'm going to breakfast with Leeanne after work, going walking with Michelle, then taking her and Dad to get medical supplies for him, and I need to drop off my computer at the Geek Squad there in Union City. I gotta work tonight, I'm filling in for Yuriy the weekend guy which is kind of a bummer, but I volunteered for it before I got my third job and was stretched for money. Oh well, 8 hours of OT will be coming my way soon. Saturday I'm going to BFD with Davina, Cathy and Amy. I'll be running on almost no sleep, but I don't work that night so I'll be alright. At the worst I'll ask Davina to drive on the way home.
  
• Oh yeah in case I didn't mention, Kimmie and I, along with her sister Carol and our pal Cara, are going 5 star VIP to see New Kids On The Block on October 10th when they play in San Jose. I'm so excited and still amazed that I was able to get the passes before they sold out. Yes I'm pretty much paying up the wazoo, but to be able to tell folks what Donnie Wahlberg smells like is well worth it. Yeah I'm that weird.
  
• Oh and I keep having this reoccuring dream that a young Judge Reinhold is a teacher at my high school (and I'm back in the 90s again apparently), and I keep flunking tests and skipping homework just so I can stay after class and get "help". I have a VERY overactive imagination, don't you think? That and I just changed my desktop here at work to a hot picture of Don Johnson circa 1986. Oooh baby.
  

Whooo I'm gonna MEET THE NEW KIDS!!! Rick Astley is hot too, Corey Haim, and Kirk.. oooh la la!



Whoo he was hot from Fast Times to Beverly Hills Cop III.... then he got old. He's still awesome, but not as hot. Hey in 10 years I'll be not so hot either.

oh the joy

• What's goin on, homie G's? Not much here. Work, work and more work. I'm getting about 6 hours of sleep a day, so I'm not exactly exhausted. I agreed to work another shift this afternoon as a favor for my boss in Emeryville, and it's more money for me. I will definitely get decent sleep on Thursday.. well I hope. Thursday morning we're doing the grocery run, getting crap from a medical supply store in Hayward, and after I put all that away I'm gonna drop off my computer at Best Buy for the Geek Squad to debug, etc. I know several of you will go "What's wrong with the computer? Maybe I can help." Well um my internet connection is fine according to Comcast, but my computer won't recognize that. Also, I tried reinstalling Windows XP, and it asked for my admin password. I never created a password. So um yeah I think I have a virus. For the past day or so the computer has been off and will remain so until I can get it to a computer physician.. i.e. the Geek Squad. I'd rather pay a few hundred to fix it versus buying a new computer. With all this being said, maybe on Friday I'll get enough sleep. *sigh*
• Oh yeah, other small bundles of stress. Can't buy VIP tix for NKOTB until today at 7pm. Fortunately I'll be at work and online, so don't worry Kimmie. I'm crossing my fingers. Regular tix go on sale at Ticketmaster for general public on the 9th. Oh and I never got my BFD tix in the mail, but I straightened it out with Ticketmaster, my tix will be at will call at The Shoreline on Saturday to pick up. Good lord I got so much crap on my plate.
  
• Oh one more fun thing. I have yet another sinus infection. Had the sore throat yesterday morning, woke up in the afternoon with lots of yellow snot pouring everywhere. I've been feverish all day (since I woke up at 1:30pm yesterday) and I've had nice headaches. I only get headaches when my sinuses act up. My last doctor said I have chronic sinusitis because my sinus cavaties are very small. He's probably right. Anywhoo, all I can do is try to get enough sleep and pray for the best.
  
• I do enough complaining lately, don't I? LOL
