Liar liar
pants on fire! Yeah, so I lied, the last update wasn't my last before moving.
Turns out I'm a lot more bored than I thought I would be. There is only so
much packing one can do before getting burnt out. Today may be the record
for the earliest morning update EVA. It's 9 a.m, I should be soundly sleeping,
dreaming about Jennifer Garner. But no, I'm awake. I had to drop my step-dad
off at the car place/shop/thing. I won't get into that though, it's too early
in the morning for rage. This week has actually been full of early mornings.
We're having the house painted and they start at 8, which normally wouldn't
disturb me, but the B has taken it upon himself to bark/howl at every slight
little noise he hears. It's cute for the first minute, then I'm yelling at
the boy.
MOVE UPDATE: My packing is coming along nicely. The cardboard Stonehenge is
rising with each box. Today is the official "one week away" mark.
Since my last update my terror has subsided a bit. Apparently the more I stay
in the house the more I desire to get the fuck out. I don't care about a lot
of shit anymore. I don't care if the sink gets dirty (sorry mom), I don't
care if I tear the driveway up, I don't care if my dog pisses and shits on
the deck (he does), I don't care about the strange odor coming from the refrigerator,
I don't care that my shower ceiling is chipping off. I'm ready to go! My fabulous
sister has set up the cable person for the day we move - have you ever heard
of such a wonderful thing as cable and internet READY the day you move in?!
I am hoping to have an update soon after the move. I'm sure there will be
stories to tell.
A historical
event has occurred this week. An event sure to make the history books of future
generations, when the right to marry whomever we choose is legal in all 50
states (if only in a dream). Starting this past Monday, Massachusetts began
LEGALLY marrying gays and lesbians. What an absolute victory for civil rights!
Of course this monumental occasion has sparked our narrowly elected president
to strengthen his call for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
But this week, we're winning the war. I just wrote a scathing diatribe on
Bush following the last sentence, but I deleted it. I don't want this to be
about him and his shady beliefs. This week has been about rising from social
oppression and embracing a right so fundamental to humanity that no one, NO
ONE, should be denied.
ALIAS NEWS:
Sadly, Alias is being held over till mid season next fall. The fourth season
will not debut until January 2005. The fat cats at ABC have decided to replace
it's Sunday time slot with a cheesy, Knots Landing-ish, primetime soap opera.
I have been painfully loyal to this show, to the network. My family and I
watched the horrible lead-in (10-8) because we wanted to support ABC. But
how are they rewarding us? By denying us of the only good thing about ABC
- Alias.
CSI: NEW YORK: Awesome, awesome, and more awesome. I watched the spin-off
episode of CSI: Miami to the new CSI: New York, and it was fantastic. Gary
Sinise, of Lieutenant Dan fame, was like a mix of all the great things about
Gil Grissom with the compassion of Horatio Caine. (If you have no idea who
I'm talking about you should start watching CSI) And Melina Kanakaredes, formerly
of Providence (yes, I watched that show), gave off the same smart sexiness
as Marg Helgenberger. And I'm a sucker for good looking women with curly hair,
which is pretty much the only reason I watched Providence in the first place.
The new CSI: NY was given this gritty darkness that CSI and CSI: Miami don't
have. It was really reflective of the city of New York. Vegas is shot with
a lot of color, like the lights on the strip. And Miami is given a really
sunny appearance because of the beach. So it seems natural that New York would
be shot more raw and dark. I can't wait for it's fall debut!
AMERICAN IDOL: Finally, Jasmine Trias and her HORRID voice is off the show.
I was shocked and appalled that she made it to the final three. The girl shouldn't
of even made the top 10 in my opinion. I truly believe something fishy is
going on over there. There is NO WAY she should of made the top 3, absolutely
positively no way! The girl can't sing people! She's like the female John
Stevens. My favorite contestant is Fantasia, the girl has it all. I've been
pulling for her since day one. There is something that bothers me about Diana
DeGarmo. My cousin Denise pointed out that she looks like a Monchhichi (she
totally does, LINK),
but there is something else that bugs me that I can't place. Anyway...GO FANTASIA!!!
