It kind of pisses me off when I hear people say that the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a remake of that other movie that came out in the 70s and whose only redeeming quality was Gene Wilder. It is not. It is a re-adaptation of the book done correctly, with the only singing being from the Oompa Loompas. I for one thought...

I finished HP yesterday.. Accidentally took a two hour lunch break to finish it. Oops. Finish reading it so we can geek out and make wild speculations. tongue

That Scotch has an ancient Egyptian curse on it. It's like Tut's tomb and shit. skull

Hmm, I tried to put the pic in, but I got the dreaded red X. Check the newest pic in my folder.

I really didn't want to leave such beauty, but here we are. It is nice to be back in our own bed again. Eagle Lake, I miss you already.

Here I am, awake a full hour before my alarm was to go off. Methinks I'm excited about leaving town for a week.

Be good, kids. We're off to the land of no internet and fuzzy cellphone reception, AKA the Middle of Nowhere (on a lake). Camping Bliss has arrived, and I am ecstatic. love

Thank you for the birhtday cheer last week. I should have been quicker with thank you notes, but my access and time to the Internet are rather limited.

Hope your trip was a blast (a good kind of blast; not Watery D blast-ish).
hansel:
Heh. Miss you guys right now.

I went to a yoga class for the first time in 5 years. I didn't fall over once during all of the balance poses. I consider that a great victory.

i think if i find the right job in the fall i want to start yoga again, maybe we could be yoga buddies! since mister inflexible is well... not flexible wink
hansel:
I fall over just trying to stand straight. This yoga thing.. might be dangerous.

We leave for Eagle Lake, AKA Camping Bliss, on Friday morning. So much to do before then, like pick up the tent and mattresses (one t or two?) from my mom's house, go grocery shopping and booze shopping, laundry, clean house a bit so hippomonki doesn't have to reside in clutter while she house and cat-sits for us,....oh yeah, and actually pack. whatever

Still so. fucking....

There's nothing like seeing a great band perform in someone's basement. Especially when they haven't played out in six months and they still sound awesome.

Less than a week until camping bliss. The words "can't fucking wait" don't even begin to describe it.

I've wanted to be a secretary for years. Now I'm doing caregiving for the elderly and a cashier at safeway. Where did that fit in as my life's goals.

Considering I never had long term goals, I guess that's a bad thing.

Try not to have too much bliss. It's your youthful angst that makes you special. skull

Wow, Club 21 can pour a stiff drink. I'm a wee bit tipsy. Off of two vodka crans.

Evidence: I just tried to spell vodka with a c.

Right you are wink

I went to the roxy after, so I got a bit of the hipster action myself.

Great visit with Dad and Stepmom. Lots of food, fun, and even some sun amidst the thunder showers. Now I'm a bit sleepy and not looking forward to facing the day.

It was weird. I actually woke up around 8:00 on both Saturday and Sunday. Kinda freaked me out, as I tend to be a sleep-til-noon kind of girl on weekends. Does this mean I'm...

It's hard when you meet people in person. Saying a gazillion different names over SG stuff just cracks me up.

My favorite band of the moment is the Fruit Bats. Their new album, "Spelled in Bones" is extremely listenable. Yet another one of those bands that has been around for awhile, but I am just now discovering. Now I have the fun of going back and listening to their older stuff. What's funny is I had an album of theirs, "Mouthfuls" on my computer for...

Fruit Bats.. hehehe. NOTED. blackeyed

Nice catch! I actually noticed that right after I updated and left it there because I like double entendres.

In other news, for some reason I thought your BBQ was going to be this weekend. blackeyed

This is why I need an organizer.
