New Method to remember to Blog...Random Tuesdays!

So I have decided to institute Random Tuesdays, which entails me completing a list of at least 10 random thoughts inside my head on every Tuesday.

I figure it will help me get those thoughts out and maybe come up with some better ideas for complete blogs, and more than just my LOST live blogs. So, here goes....

1) Why are there so many blog websites? How does one choose when they want to start a blog? I know I chose mine because my "Blog Hero", Stephanie Klein, used blogger to post hers. There is WordPress, Blogger, among others. So confusing. Don't get me started on Twitter...I don't have an I-phone, so difficult to do that all day, when I am not computer attached.

2) I love other people's playlists. Especially when it is crazy good alternative mellow, and alternative punky stuff. I guess those two are my favorite genres.

3) I love it when I have "discovered" things about myself that I know that I like, because I like it, not because a significant other, friend or parent wants me to like it.

What I have found that I like:

- Sci-fi stuff, that is more fantastical, like vampires, wizards and zombies books, movies, and TV shows

- Music categories described above, and 80's remakes

- Purple colored grape flavor, like sugar free grape koolaid, YUM!

4) Work reviews suck! I hate having to talk about yourself.

Significant accomplishments = Um, arriving every day and not wanting to scream when I am over stressed and overworked.

5) Spunk Ransom has HOT suspender pants.

6) Carlton Cuse, always begins his shows with showing someones eyeballs. And he likes Lance Reddick, who plays Mr. Abbadon, the Major Daniels from the Wire, and the head guy from Fringe, a whole hell'uv a lot. And is that a vampire on Fringe tonight?

7) I wish that I could have a tattoo. I am so jealous of body art, but the truth is that I don't think I could ever decide what I'd want a pic of forever. Sydney?

8) I think my security program on my computer is majorly slowing down my computer. It sucks. What do I need to do to fix this?

9) When my animals are all curled up to sleep, they are too effing cute.

10) I am beginning to think that there are either hippos or rhinos that live above my apartment.

Live LOST Blogging....Freckles is Crazed again

Jin up, grab radio. Phil online, found shot Baby Ben. Of course he's still alive and there is a doctor on the island. Everyone gather together, to search the grid of the island. Ohhh, but it could be one of us. Crank the wench, be-atch. Why, are all the cars blue? Kate met the Daddy of Baby Ben and then saw the shot Baby Ben.

Flashback/forward thing. It's in the 2000's. Luvin' the scrunchi Kate! How did she get to be so motherly? We get to see Kate visit Cassidy for Sawyer. Fade to commercial, or LOST title. Ugghhh!

How does this Cassidy B know about the baby not being Kate's and why did Kate tell the truth to her? Did K give Aaron to the Cassidy B? You know she was lying about Clementine. Horace is crazy suspicious of everyone. I am suspicious of Horace. Watch the three amigos Miles.

Daddy of Ben is concerned now for BB. Ohhhh Sawyer is so effing clever, he knows whose keys were used. GET Jack!!! Such Cheery otherton house decor. I LOVE CURLEY!!! Back to the Future reference. Miles is gonna break it down. But it was confusing, but yet not confusing. Oh, here they are looking for Jack, finally. But Jack says, No. Hmmmmm, show down in the quaint otherton house. Ughh. I hate commercials.

Jack don't let him die. But he does have a point, about the time thing and the fixin' him before thing. New you and old you. Wasn't that said before? Bad guard that Miles. Hey Juliet, did an okay job. Transfusion time. Roger does really start caring and I am starting to feel bad for him. Oh, Roger knows his son, hates him. Tear, again. I do feel bad for Roger, or is he just as manipulative as Ben?A boy needs his mother but, Ben took a daughter from her mother. Hmmm.

Oh they are breakin it down more, Hurley style. Time is not a straight line anymore. It's a donut. GOOD POINT Hurley! Why didn't Big Ben know it was Syiad? Bad glasses, new perscription needed?? Juliet stare into space--> the others, they can help.

Sneaking out the patient, al la dumb 80's movie, etc. GO Kate, be bad ass. I love Kate for her ballsiness. Back to pre-island, post 1st time on the island. We get to see where Aaron was taken. Good. Aaron's indeciveness of what to drink, reminds me of the 'Kins. HOLY CRAP!! Where is Aaron? Oh good. About freaked. Go Kate go kate, get Baby Ben some help help. Uh oh, whose this? Sawyer...good he's gonna help. Gooooooood Sawyer.

Kate, not Cassidy again. Dammit, Clemintine does exist. Kate wasn't surprised....expected the eventual taking of Aaron from her. Kate did take him.....Sawyer broke her heart. Hmmm. Why are you helping, Sawyer? Man, I almost believe Sawyer's fondness for Juliet. Btw, Juliet is pissed!! I heart Jack's tatooes. They are rediculous.

Blahhh. Bonding in the forest with Kate and Sawyer. LUUVVV IT!

Sawyer/Kate not a good thing. Juliet/Sawyer = good thing.

Ahhhhh, the Others! Dammit, only 10 more minutes.

Ohhhh did Kate give Aaron to Aaron's Mom's Mom? That would be awesome. We'll see. Ballsy Kate, just came out and said it. Kate did protect him. But now she's mending her ways. She's brought her a photo. But she better give him to her. Oh good, she is going to! Kate came back to find Claire. Whattt? Not what I expected her reason to be, well, because it's not, but part of it is maybe. Like 10%, maybe 25%.

Back to the island and the 70's. Gosh he seems sexy. Richard Alpert is S-E-X-Y. Eyeliner and all. Can you Richard? Can you save him? Innocence will be gone -> Dammit Sayid you did create bad Ben, you stupid effer. Who is Charles? Where are they going? Where was that rock formation place? One of the stations? Am confused...I LOVE THIS MOMENT!! Locke gets to scare the S out of Ben! Love it!

LOVE: BTTF reference, Miles breaking it down, Kate and Sawyer bonding, Sawyer "doing it for Juliet"

HATE: Sayid not at all seen in this episode, Sayid created Ben, Mentioning of a Charles, Charles, who? Where is Daniel?

14 - 25 more randomness....

14) I snatched tons of songs from my good friend Coolleen to put on my Ipod and I am still learning, and re-introducing myself to all of the new stuff (well new to me). New bands I have found: Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, Mary Prankster, Death Cab for Cutie. Old Stuff I remember that I like: Elliot Smith, Garbage, Van Morrison, DEEE-Lite, Everclear (I know, I know).

15) Zack and Miri make a Porno is the funniest movie that I have seen in a very very very long time. But Kevin Smith can make a crazy funny movie.

16) I love making new friends online with my "obsession". When they mention me in their posts, I beam.

17) I also love the fact that I have turned others into fellow "obsessors" or as we like to call ourselves, "enthusiastically fond." Even if the extreme fondness is an outlet to hide what's bothering us, in some cases. But it does give me an excuse to be snarky and laugh at myself.

18) In that same vane, as a continuation of above, I have been feeling down, lonely, and just sucky lately. How can I now decide to be sad about getting a divorce? It's been nearly a year since my separation.

19) My reunification with music has made me think of the wasband. I know, the wasband that I could even miss, doesn't truly exist. He's a piece of "fanfiction" if you will. But, hearing songs that had a meaning, "once upon a time..." make me think about that faker person that I was married to with a fondness (but, not enthusiastic fondness). I'm not crazy and not that lonely. I know he was a mirage, but you know what a song can do to remind you about things. Gahhh!

20) Right now, I am listening to "Hey Ya!" which I think universally must be a "good memory" song for just about anybody.

21) I can't seem to lose weight but, I am only half trying. I diet and exercise for like half the week. But I have given up drinking diet soda, which is HUGE for me!

22) I don't think I could ever give up coffee. I only have about 2 cups a day but I HAVE TO HAVE MY COFFEE!!

23) I hate kareoke, but I secretly want to scream, "Since You've Been Gone" at a kareoke bar near you. Sans, the 'Kins.

24) I am getting my hair chopped this weekend! Not sure how at all, but it should be interesting.

25) I can't remotely have a one night stand with someone (God help me if the 'rents figure out how to read blogs or get on fb), but playing spin the bottle or 7 minutes in heaven is perfectly acceptable in my world. wink wink.

Whew!! Done. That is freakin difficult as all hell. But good practice.

For Catina...25 even more Random thoughts (very Twilight Heavy, sorry)

So, the viral request/note thing had been going around a month or so ago and my friend Catina and I had discussed how, after you completed the list that seemed at first, so difficult. Later you felt like you had even more to say. So in honor of our talk and the fact that I am known to be rather random anyhow, I thought I would continue with even more 25 random thoughts. Besides, it's a good writing exercise and my live LOST blog sucked this week, so here goes:

1) I love finding new snarky Twi-crack websites, where the Twihards are older, snarky, and are basically creatively sharing a passion while making fun of themselves. Other than Confessions of a Twicrack Addict, which I have spoke of before, my latest muse is the Letters to Rob folks.

2) I feel guilty about being addicted to something that on the surface is so juvenile, and possibly the "in" thing to do right now, but I don't care because it gives me something to laugh about.

3) I bought my first men's magazine yesterday, because it has Robward on the cover and is affectionately known by the Twihard crowd as the RobQ. These pics are truly gorgeously, yum!

4) I accidentally pre-ordered and had shipped to me two copies of the DVD for T. Luckily I did end up selling one to a work colleague. Accidentally ordered both because Borders.com would not let me cancel my order on line even though they had not yet shipped it. Target had the better deal and I thought I could switch my pre-order easily. Was wrong.

5) I recently got my first IPOD and love love love it. Guess what is the one movie I have on it?

6) I sometimes giggle with glee, when I scroll through the "artists" list on my IPOD and "Rob Pattinson" appears in the list.

7) I love lady bugs! I dressed as one for Halloween one year, which was actually the same night I found out that I passed the Bar Exam. Great memory, and lady bugs do seem good luck to me since then.

8) I crave crave crave lettuce. It's becoming a problem. As mentioned before, I take coumadin for a genetic blood defect that I have, which causes clotting. One friend thinks I crave lettuce which contains loads of vitamin K, that incidentally helps with clotting (what I don't want, because I am a super clotter, hence the blood thinner), because I am not supposed to have a lot of it because it counter-acts my blood thinner, coumadin. Its like I only want it because I can't have it, kind of thing.

My other friend said it was because my body is craving it because the coumadin is thinning my blood and the body is panicking and thinking it needs the Vitamin K to help me clot (my body doesn't realize I have a genetic blood disorder, I guess). Anyhow, I LOVE GREEN LEAFY VEGGIES!!

9) Loving green leafy veggies, makes cooking easy for me, which brings me to a blog post/thought I meant to write last week.

10) I almost NEVER cook anymore even though I used to enjoy it. I stopped while I was married to the wasband.

11) Continued thought on above -> Wasband sure gave mixed signals about marriage and our expectations. He once got mad at me for the lackluster meal I made for dinner = grown up married expectation. But then he would want to go out and get smashed doing shot after shot of whatever kind of alcohol his military buddies were pushing = juvenile, non- married expectation. I mean, you can't have it both ways. Either you do married, stay at home things, were you drink at poker nights and BBQs, or you do, "just dating" or "single guy" things and go out to bars, and buy 10 thousand shots for you and all your friends, and wake up hung over as all hell. Of course New Year's Eve is the one night where either behavior is appropriate.

12) Continued thought from above -> I swear I never cook anymore, because I am confused about what kind of person I am "grown up professional" or "party gal/singleton". Aren't there Sex and the City episodes about this?

13) I constantly forget to get up and use the restroom while I am at work. Not because I don't have to go, I just find myself holding it for no reason other than I want to finish one last email, and that turns into one other last email, and another.....My colleagues, remind me and call it Operation B for Bathroom.

14) One of the ladies at LTR wrote an excellent top 10 list of what it is to love about Robward and I thought I would share, because it mimicked my thoughts. http://letterstorob.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/robward/

1) He's incredibly attractive 2) a great actor 3) a great musician 4) extremely humble 5) He just doesn't give a damn 6) what else is there to do in the ‘burbs (or when you live by yourself) 7) He has a HOT British accent 8 ) He's hilarious & sarcastic 9) He has an “I don’t give a sh*t about Hollywood” attitude and 10) He's so freakin’ hot it’s unbelievable.

**Getting too busy at work to continue for now. Will continue this weekend when I am feeling less Robsessed and get to spend time with my favorite little person, the 'Kins!**

Live LOST Blogging....Baby Ben and Sayid

I wrote the whole time and then it all disappeared!

But all I can say is HOLY SH---! He shot Baby Ben! I thought that they couldn't "change the future". Isn't that what Farraday had said before. Now what the eff?

Aged like a Fine Wine....

So one of my good work friends and fellow bloggers, just had her offer accepted to buy a house yesterday. I am very proud and happy for her, but part of me feels a little jealous and green with envy. Another co-worker and I--whose age is a little closer to mine--were talking over our cubicle wall about the joyous news of our fellow, younger, co-worker and were asking ourselves what had we done wrong with ourselves that we were much older and still renting our abodes.

Well, I know my answer, two things: 1) Law School and 2) Wasband.

He had his own reasons why he hadn't yet bought a place, but we kind of kept on with this wallowing conversation and about how we felt we were missing things in our lives that our contemporaries had held for some time. My co-worker tried to compare me to a fine bottle of wine that is not yet "ready to be opened, still waiting." I, immediately told him that if I was wine, then I was the grapes that had just been stomped on.

After much more of this discussion, my little group and I decided that perhaps last year I was the grapes that were just stomped on and that now, maybe I was the grape juice that was inside the dark oak barrel, still simmering or whatever wine does, before its bottled.

The analogy seemed the best way to describe my currant situation, and I am not sure why. I know I am not at the point of being so recently "crushed", but I also know that I am not quite ready to be on the store shelf, the wine makers' bottling rack, ready for shipment, or on someone else's rack still awaiting perfection.

I also liked the idea of being locked away in a dark, wooden barrel, in a musty basement somewhere. Mostly because it felt very spunk ransom, edwardian, for me to be there, not quite gleaming in new found happiness. Not just yet.... Soon.

More Live LOST blogging....Buckle Up

Airplanes can stall in the air? Effing crazy. Wonder if the "monster" will suck up and eat the annoying co-pilot. Why did the LOSTies never find the freaking runway?



Oh good, the Island took out the annoying co-pilot. Cesar is cool. How is Sun stuck here? What the Eff? And why is Ben not more beaten up? Wasn't he among the "injured" before?



So they are 30 years separated. Is this the first show that has had a true connect to the previous aired show, in a while? I mean the last show two weeks ago, ended with one of the first scenes on this weeks show. I think so. They have been jumping on and off island or with LOSTies or Others, between every other show.



Darhma jump suits??? Uh oh....lots of stuff has happen since you have been gone, like its 30 years before. My birth year, 1977!!! Good year to pick!



FYI - I found Micheal...he is not dead, he is on the "Usuals".



Bring 'em in! Didn't come back alone....Oh no. Jin is going nutso. My new lady (or old lady) has taken your place, Kate.



Boy, they sure trust James, Miles, et al. They get to do the island surevelliance and security. I think I like Sawyer more scruffy and less James.



Jin is being VERY forceful. He's going to take the man out. I enjoyed, his "model" by the way. Jin=Quan.



Poor poor Sun. How much does this other new lady look like Ana Lucia? Oh Wow, this is like LOST show #1. You go Sun, you follow that evil SOB. Creepy creepy guy. He is such a creepster, that Ben. He should be in the Volturi. "You wanna come?"



I want to know who the baby is! Oh, ok he's a dead baby. Stupid Ethan who takes Claire later and Charlie has to kill you.

Sawyer's Back!



Toadly have to listen to Sawyer. He is the poo. Whoa, Jin is seriously going crazy in this episode. So determined. Oh wow! It's Sayid. Don 't talk Sayid!



Hurley is back in his VW Blue Van. I really love Kate's top! ooooooo, meet and greet video. Can't wait! Hey, Sawyer just said, SOB! And, on cue, here is Ben the SOB.



Ok, let's all take a row trip across the pond....main island ahoy, maties. Oh come on, you know that they'll go, stop talking about "Trust". Do you wonder if Lapidus ever turns into a werewolf? I hope so....oh, that is how Ben gets more hurt. I love when Sun lies.



Oh, I love the initiation video! Peter Chang is the coolest. Did Juliet do that on purpose? Makes Kate a little "suspect" now, to that other check-in guy. Juliet, don't act like Ben. Man, this "quick Draw" guys is a SOB also. Boy, it sure gets dark around here fast.



I hate that Sun calls, Jin "Her Husband". He has a name. Oh good, the monster thing is hanging out or maybe they will run into Claire? Oh look a light! and is it the Dad? Of course it's Jack's Dad. Oh Eff!! Follow him, where.....Stupid commercial.....



7 more minutes!!! They are back in the freakin shack. Showing off class photos. Where's Claire? Look at Sayid cool updated clothes? Purple shirts = 2007. Oh, Sayid is back in a cell. Poooo. Poor Sayid. He is going to go ape shit.



See, even Sawyer hates James. Where did Juliet get a hair straightener? She looks awesome. Jack is like, I am not a worker. No, Sawyer is calling him a "reacter" and Sawyer is a "thinker". Ahhh shucks, Sawyer is in charge now. La Fleur is HOT! Kate thinks so also.



Sandwich delivery from...Ben I believe. Yup. Even little Ben is creepy, maybe he should play Alec.... Ahhhh Bad Robot already. Pooo, but next week looks GOOD!
