No Christmas this year because God hates me.

2009-11-20T14:43:00.002-06:00

nd so does my mother.

Last week she had to pay major money to get her plumbing fixed. They had to dig up under her driveway.

Last year she "loaned" me the money to get this computer & a new starter & a crown on my tooth. So I owe her like $2000.

This morning, I go to start my fucking car and the bitch won't start.

So I called my mother, who had to borrow jumper cables from my grandmother to give me a boost.

Went to try to pawn some of my jewelry to get some money because Evan is home next week & he's going to eat everything in the house, plus I wanted to get him an MP3 player or a bike for Christmas.

They offered $35 for the "scrap" gold.

...

No thank you.

I go out to start my car and THE BITCH WON'T START. Not even the damned interior light or clock came on.

I blame George W & Obama because I can.I called 911 because I didn't want to call MD again.

The fucking cops didn't have jumper cables?????????

So I called my mother. Again.

She told me to keep the jumper cables until I got back from Wal-Mart.

When I got to Wal-Mart, "my greeter" told me that someone from the auto dept could give me a jump if the car wouldn't start so I didn't have to leave the car running.

Thank goodness. Because I needed a jump.

Which means I need a new fucking alternator.

More $$ that I don't have.

That I'll have to borrow from my mother.

I haven't told her yet.

I'm going to try to have a yard sale tomorrow. Sell old DVDs & books & maybe some jewelry.

Why does God hate me so much?

I blame George W & Obama because I can.

Weirdness on AMC

2009-11-16T11:51:00.006-06:00

ast week I was watching The View and Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto from X-Men) was on talking about his new miniseries or whatever called The Prisoner. I searched for it, and found it on AMC.

**Disclaimer** Pardon this unclear...review? I was really tired and kept falling asleep, so some of it may be mixed up in my head, but I have to delete it from my DVR so I can record the second part tonight. No time to re-watch the first one.

It's weird, but interesting.

Jim Caviezel (Jesus in Passion of the Christ) wakes up on a beach. He sees an old man running from something. The old man faints, Jesus takes him to a cave & the old man comes to long enough to tell Jesus to go to 554 (or something) and then dies.

Jesus keeps walking and sees lights. The lights are coming from a "neighborhood" where all the houses are A-Frames and I think they're painted pink or something?

Anyway, he gets into a cab and asks to be taken to the nearest bus or train station. The cab driver is like "What is that?" So he jumps out of the cab and runs to a diner. The waitress offers him 3 different kind of wraps. Like Chicken Wrap, Veggie Rap, House Special Wrap and he asks if they have anything other than wraps. She said "Why would we?"

He gets back into the cab and asks where he is. Cab driver says "The Village". Jesus says "What village?" Cabbie says "THE Village". Then starts talking about his daughter 836 (or something).

Next thing I know, Jesus wakes up in a hospital where everyone is calling him "Six".

Everyone in The Village has a number for a name. Even the soap opera characters have number names.

Magneto is "the main dude" and he keeps telling 6 that he needs to get better so he can get back to his real life.

Have you ever watched a movie and felt like you came in in the middle even though you've been there since the previews?Blah blah. It's kind of complicated. Sucks when everyone has a number instead of a name. All you need to know, I guess, is that Jesus is 6 and Magneto is 2. Jesus remembers being in Manhattan, NY. Other people in "The Village" dream about New York too, but they don't want to admit it. People who talk to Jesus end up dead.

...

Apparently it's based on an old British TV Series from the 60's.

It's weird.

Have you ever watched a movie and felt like you came in in the middle even though you've been there since the previews? That's what this feels like. I rewound it several times when I thought I'd fallen asleep and it still made no more sense than the first time I watched it, LOL.

But I'll be watching the rest of it because I want to know WTF is going on. Remember the show "Life on Mars" (Another British import)? It's similar to that.

That is all.

Kingdom

2009-11-15T16:39:00.003-06:00

was watching Flash Forward at Hulu and I happened to see an ad for Kingdom starring Stephen Fry.

I've watched the first episode. I'm in the middle of the second.

Kingdom is about a lawyer named Peter Kingdom whose brother has been missing for 6 months. While he's trying to figure out where his brother is and if he is actually dead, he continues with his practice which includes the regular small town lawyer stuff like wills & child custody cases and other stuff.

He has a secretary and an "apprentice". I don't know what Peter called him.

She drives the secretary crazy by taping the secretary's chair to her desk...Anyway in the middle of the first show, Peter's crazy (clinically) nymphomaniac sister shows up from a stay at a mental hospital. She's very immature.

She drives the secretary crazy by stealing her car keys, spitefully eating the last piece of toast even though she didn't want it, tapes the secretary's chair to her desk with masking tape and labels everything in the office/house.

Anyway, turns out that Peter is the responsible sibling. He ends up taking care of his crazy sister while looking for his brother and handling cases.

Peter constantly gives his apprentice a pile of crap to carry and any other grunt work that he doesn't want to do himself, LOL.

I love it.

Watch it at Hulu!

emember when I was all about Spymaster & 140 Mafia?

Welllllllllll, Facebook has a few games that I ~~like to play~~ must play and know exactly when I have to be back at the computer to continue playing.

Is Beatrix Kiddo here to kill me, or just eat my awesome food?Not that I plan my day around it oh crap I just remembered I have to take a pair of jeans I bought for Evan back to the store because I didn't get the right flipping color. But that can wait, I have stuff to do here.

Like cook for my Café @ Café World or harvest crops at my farm on Farmville.

:-)

Here are some screencaps I just took.

If you're on Facebook, and you play those games or Roller Coaster, make me your neighbor! I'm Angelika Insomniac.

Ciao!

Have I told y'all that my BFF is the one

2009-11-10T09:15:00.003-06:00

ho taught me Ebonics?

Seriously, LOL.

I took a Quiz "How black are you?" I got 70%...
The Boy, he who is so attitudinal I dare not speak his name (Evan) calls me Oreo when he's mad @ me. Just like the kids in Jr High & HS did when I used to go to a predominantly black school. I've been permanently scarred by that. But that is a tale for another day.

Entyway

I took a Facebook Quiz "How black are you?" I got 70%...

Angela took the same quiz.

So, yeah. My read headed green eyed BFF is blacker than me.

That's the funniest shit ever! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

y BFF is an RN. She occasionally goes to Guatemala to nurse there. One of her fellow nurses there is planning to make 44 sweaters for the kids there and Angela thought she might need some help.

Can you knit a sweater?So do any of you knit? I don't, or I'd do it. I'm a self taught crocheter and I don't think whatever I could come up with would be good enough, LOL.

I slept so much yesterday!

2009-11-06T14:18:00.002-06:00

don't know why.

I was so sleepy, I took at nap @ 3 pm. Woke up and saw Evan eating cereal. Snoozed again & then I saw him on the computer. It was 5:50.

Me - What are you doing?
He - Looking at something on the computer...

Fell back asleep. Woke up @ 6:30. I was about to start yelling @ Evan to make sure he hadn't fallen back asleep.

But he had left the computer on, so I got on.

Had tweets. I'm like "Why was everybody in the world awake at 3 am?" because the tweets were from "3 hours ago".

I thought it was 6:30 am.

HA!

Anyway, when I finally figured out it was PM, I ordered a pizza.

Then I fell back asleep.

Woke up and watched Vampire Diaries & Grey's Anatomy. Fell back asleep.

Woke up this morning to get Evan out the door.

Fell back asleep.

I finally GOT OUT OF BED at noon-thirty.

What the hell?

I don't know, but I'm going back to bed.

See y'all Monday, probably.

:-)

Facebook

2009-11-05T10:36:00.003-06:00

never really had much interest in Facebook. I think I joined because so many people at JJHF were members & they would post pictures of their kids there, so I had to join to see the pics.

But the actual site just had way too much going on for me. Let me put it this way, being on Facebook was like being in a mall full of people and stores with everyone trying to talk to me and offer me something. It wore me out.

This week, I have found my nieces on FB, connected with my BFF on FB, had a former coworker find me (one I actually liked, LOL) and saw some names/faces from my past.

I'm actually having fun on Facebook!I'm actually having fun on Facebook!

If you had told me this a year ago, or even last month, I probably would have said "WTFever. I hate Facebook! I don't even like people, why the hell would I want to give them another way to irritate me?!?"

So...I will now say something that you will rarely hear from me, genius than I be.

I was wrong and I'm having fun interacting with people.

o I'm answering some questions from RemBeatz for her Blogger Interviews thing. (Pardon me, Rem. I feel extremely loquacious today. Edit as necessary, LOL.)

Why am I so hyper????Anyway, I was talking about how I started with a website in the '90s before I ever had this blog. I started reading a page I did on 4/25/2005 and it's so...funny/odd to me to read and remember where I was 4.5 years ago, LOL. (And how, emotionally, I'm in the same place...)

Ennywho...that's what I is doing today.

I was going to blog about V, GI Joe, Transformers & other crap.

I guess I'll save that for tomorrow.

But let me tell you what Evan said before I forget.

So he got home yesterday and I had made brownies. He eats 1/3 of the pan. Seriously. Then he ate pop tarts, shrimp, god knows what else, some little debbie cupcake thing and I had bought him one of the new fudge Snickers to try and he picked it up like he was fiddnuh eat that too:

Me - OMG! How much sweet crap have you had today?
Evan - 68

So I proceeded to LMFAO & he can't figure out what's so funny.

How random was that answer???

HA!

OMG I'm going to wet myself.

Craig Ferguson & Our Wigs

2009-11-03T07:17:00.005-06:00

o, yesterday Mommy Dearest took me out for my Birthday Lunch. Finally. I didn't feel good on my birthday, then I had PMS, then I had headaches from Hell, then I got a cold.

So I finally felt like "going out" yesterday. I went over to her house because she didn't know how to save a program on her DVR until she deleted it...

Because she loves her some Al Green, she wanted to save his appearances on The Tonight Show or whatever and a couple of them had been deleted even though she had plenty of room and she would have gladly sacrificed something else if she didn't have room.

Did that make sense?

Anyway, while I was there she gave me a wig. Since I've taken the braids out of my hair, she usually sees me with a bandanna on my head because I'd rather cover my hair than do it. IOW, she was saying "I'm tired of looking at those damned bandannas and now you can cover your dookie braids with this wig!" (Learn more about Dookie Braids HERE.)

Anyway

Last night's episode of "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" was on fire!We went to the local "Dairy Bar" which is not to be mistaken for Dairy Queen. The Dairy Bar has been there since at least the 50s and is where we go for good, old fashioned Southern cooking. I had chicken fingers & fries. Sooooo good.

Blah.

Last night's episode of "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" was on fire!

First, in the monologue he was talking about the time he wore a kilt with no underwear to the Playboy Mansion's Halloween party one year & how the gravity was killer. :-)

Then the actor Billy Connolly was on & told how his "castle" in Scotland is supposedly haunted by a headless dog. He told a joke like "You think walking your dog in the rain is hard, wait til you see what I have to do to this one when we get home." Because the dog can't lick his own "business", you see? The conversation was edited, so I can't imagine WTF they cut out!!!

Then, George Eads (Nick Stokes on CSI) was on & told how he broke his back and didn't realize it for 12 years. Or, when he broke his back, he was a poor actor with no health insurance so he never went to the doctor about his back pain & then they took x-rays last summer and the doctor noticed the "healed" broken back, so he ended up getting spinal fusion therapy. Unbelieveable!

I think that's all. :-)

Mercy

2009-11-02T08:34:00.006-06:00

his weekend I watched a marathon of Mercy on Bravo. I know I missed the first episode & maybe the first few, but I liked the ones I saw.

(Click the banner to go to the site on NBC.com)

Mercy is a Grey's Anatomy knock-off. :-)

From what I understood, Veronica Callahan (the main character) was a nurse in the military. She did a tour in Iraq. Came home, found her husband cheating on her and went back to Iraq and had an affair with Dr. Chris Sands. Then when she came home for the last time, she decided to try and work on her marriage.

Buffy's little sister Dawn is also a nurse at Mercy.Dr. Sands moved to New Jersey to try to convince her to be with him? I'm not straight on that.

Anyway, Buffy's little sister Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) is also a nurse at Mercy. She had a crush on Dr. Sands & got drunk with him one night and he admitted having an affair with Veronica and being in love with her.

Yeah.

It's a soap opera.

Like Grey's.

Anyway, I might watch it if they continue showing it on Bravo on the weekends. But for now, my DVR schedule is too full to add another show on Wednesday nights.

That is all!

It's been a whole week!

2009-10-30T07:55:00.003-05:00

hat because after 2 weeks of hellacious headaches, I got a cold.

Yeah.

Between breathing treatments & Theraflu, I've been napping.

Good thing - I couldn't smoke as much because I could barely breathe.
Bad thing - I didn't feel like doing ANYTHING.

Still don't.

Bye.

This is my favorite song lately. The video is blah, IMO, but I still love the song. :-)

My Mind Wandered for Dear Hunter's Widow

Have you ever been awakened by

2009-10-21T03:12:00.003-05:00

he headache from HELL?

Who do I blame? God or Mother Nature?The one that hurts so bad you want to cry but you know crying will only stuff up your nose and make it hurt worse because then your head will be pounding in addition to feeling like someone hit you square in the middle of your forehead with a sledgehammer?

That's why I'm up in the middle of the night tonight.

The only good thing is that I'm not photosensitive, so it isn't an actual migraine, but I had to take some of that Migraine medicine with caffeine so I get to stay awake to know exactly when the pain goes away.

Yay.

So, my sleep is like a safe

2009-10-20T11:27:00.006-05:00

nd I have to crack the combination to the sleep before I can get any sleep.

It changes every night, LOL.

Yesterday, because EVERYTHING was hurting me, I took a demerol. Mainly for the stabbing pains I was feeling in my back & knees. I also had another MAJOR FUCKING HEADACHE so I went ahead and took that OTC Migraine medication.

The Migraine Meds have caffeine, which I unfortunately forgot because I took a second dose when I felt the headache coming back. I normally don't have caffeine in my diet, so one cup of coffee can have me cleaning the house from top to bottom as long as I'm not in any pain, nodamene? It's like speed for me, LOL.

So at 3:30 am, while I was crocheting the sleeves for my snuggie while watching the House episode that came on 45 minutes late because of some damned baseball game (luckily, I also record "Lie to me", so I got to see all of House.) I realized why I wasn't sleepy in spite of doing the laundry and grocery shopping all in one day.

So.

I took 2 Benadryl
2 OTC Sleeping Pills
2 Xanax.

I don't normally iron.The good news is that Evan actually went to school today without me even being up to rush him (though I have my doubts that he actually brushed his teeth...)

It might have had something to do with the fact that I ironed his Stewie Griffin shirt while I was awake and bored and tired of crocheting.

Yeah, he found it under a pile of clean white socks and underwear (or something) and was planning to wear it wrinkles and all.

Now, I don't normally iron. The fold wrinkles don't bother me. But I do usually have him put his shirts on hangers AT THE LAUNDROMAT & then hang them up when we get home.

The point is, I wasn't fiddnuh let him wear that balled up shirt to school, LOL.

Then I painted my nails.

I heard on some damned talk show that green is the new color for the season. So I bought some halloween green nail polish. But it was cheap ($.97) so it didn't have very good coverage. So I painted my nails black & then put the green on top. IRL it's like a forest green.

But when I installed the web cam software on this PC, for some reason I can't hold the cam & snap a picture like I used to be able to do. I'm sure it's something to do with the settings, but I haven't been bored or obsessed enough to figure out what to change.

Entyway, after the combo of meds I took, I fell asleep fairly quickly while holding a crust of French bread.

...

Yeah. I woke up at 9:30 or something this morning with a hard ass piece of bread in my hand, LOL.

That was a nice sleep! And Evan went to school even though I'm sure he held the damned alarm clock right up to my ear because it was moved from where I usually keep it.

BUT, that same combination will not work tonight.

*sigh*

So I'd better not nap, or I will be up for God knows how long tonight.

I'm cold.

Going to crochet more of my snuggie sleeve.

Ta!

Then I made my grandmother an afghan and I was DONE with crocheting, LOL.

My mother came over earlier today. Not for anything in particular, Evan had walked there earlier (for no reason other than he wanted to get away from me) and she called me to make sure he made it home.

She was talking and said: "Well, I guess you want to be alone since Evan is gone."
Me - I wasn't doing anything but watching Top Chef
She - Oh, well I have to go get some milk, but I didn't think I'd stop by since you'd be enjoying your time alone.
Me - If you want to come over, come over. I'm not in any particular "mood", I don't feel bad or sleepy or anything, so whatever.

Anyway, she came over.

I opened the door and...I don't know how cold it is, but I got a really chilly blast. (It's currently 44 degrees, I just checked.)

I got cold.

I turned the heat up to 74. Put on a pair of jogging pants over my Spongebob pajama pants & a sweatshirt over my t-shirt then got under all of my blankets while we talked about the TV shows we both watch.

Me - Mom, will you come over and rub Ben Gay all over the back of my legs and my butt?
She - *Silence*
Me - Because I don't know what I did, but my legs feel like I ran a marathon.
She - *Silence*
Me - Mom?
She - NO! I SAW YOUR BUTT ENOUGH WHEN YOU WERE A BABY! I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT NOW! YOU CRAZY SO AND SO!

My 37th Birthday!

2009-10-10T17:51:00.003-05:00

et me tell you about my birthday!

I woke up this morning to liquid diarrhea.

Then a fucking pterodactyl or some other equally large bird shat on my windshield.Liquid.

Yeah.

I had one dose of Pepto left, so I had to go to Wal-Mart to get some more.

On my way home, I started getting the headache from hell (pretty much the same one I've had for 2 weeks which Demerol isn't even helping).

Then a fucking pterodactyl or some other equally large bird shat on my windshield. Seriously, the splat was like 6 inches wide (maybe a slight exaggeration...)

Of course it had stopped raining by then, so I had to use my windshield wiper fluid to get it off, but it left that long streak of bird shit on the left...

Evan said he was going to walk to my mother's house 2 hours ago.

I called her.

He hasn't even been there.

He left his phone here...

I still don't know where he is.

All in all, it's been a wonderful birthday.
