Hello? Is this thing on?

Um, so yeah. There is not much going on in Karen world at all, hence the lack of any updates. I was tempted to post a few times, but the posts would have been ultra lame. Well, about as lame as this post will be, actually. So, why update now and not any of the other times? That is an excellent, excellent question, without an excellent, excellent answer.

BLERG I am so bored lately! This week, if I haven't been at work, I've been at home, on my couch, in my jammies, watching tv. Lame. Super, mega, ultra lame.

On the plus side, the weather is finally getting warmer outside, which I hope will give me the kick in the bum I need to just get out of the apartment. And, tomorrow night I'm going out, so hopefully I'll have fun and maybe something exciting will happen that will warrant an actual blog update, so here's hoping for an awesome Friday!!

*crosses her fingers and hopes for fun*

...Sorry we said fuck so much

So, today was an average day. Not too great, not too bad. Just a day. Well, there were some goodish parts, but overall: meh. I seem to have meh days a lot. It's like I pissed off some meh gypsies and they put their meh curse on me. Fricking gypsies and their fricking curses.

...so my mind just wandered to Buffy, but it's back now.

Today = meh. Jackson and I get home, put in "Super Secret Super Spy" (if you don't have kids, you are missing out. FYI.) and made some dinner. Crystal then tells me that my Amazon order arrived today, and that she forgot to give me the package. What. The. Frick. That could have tipped my day over to "good" from "meh", but noooooo. She had to be a whore and forget. Dirty whores. Good for nothing, I tell you! (ps. <3 teh Crystal). I am kind of disappointed, though. I mean, I ordered "Pretty in Pink" (DUCKIEEEEEE!), "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang", and any one of those movies could have made my night great.

DUDE! I almost forgot that today is Wednesday! I take back any bad things I said about today, because tonight is the season finale of Project Runway. And that is gonna rock. HARD. I am so excited, I may need a moment to recoup.

...Ok. Better. So, back to the DVD's (which Crystal is keeping hostage... whore). I am really needing to rewatch "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" and I think that will be my plan for Thursday night. Jackson will be at my parents', so after work, I can just come home and veg on the couch all night.

*sigh* I'm lame. Sitting at home, by myself, and watching a movie in my PJ's sounds awesome to me. Well, the alone part kind of blows, but some days I'm ok with being single. Like, when I want to veg and watch movies, I'm kind of ok with my single status. Hearing other people talk about their plans for the night that include significant others? That makes me not so happy with my single status.

Ok. So, going to go off in my Crazy Karen head for a bit and tell you my thoughts on my singledom, and you can judge me all you want! (just keep the judging to yourself, please... I have enough of a complex without other peoples input, thankyouverymuch!)

So. Single. On one hand, I think that I am not ready for a relationship with anyone and that I need to be happy being just me before I can be happy with me and Mr. Wonderful™. But, on the other hand, the more I find myself unhappy, the more I start to think that maybe what I need is Mr. Wonderful™ in order to become happy. And then on the 3rd hand, I think that if I think that I need someone to be happy, I will latch onto the first guy that makes me feel funny in my bits. Which, you know, is good, but I want more than just the attraction, so if I go this route, there are good odds that I will end up with someone pretty who drives me crazy. And on the 4th hand, if I get the mindset that I can't have a relationship right now, what if Mr. Wonderful™ comes strolling through and I miss him cuz I'm all "down with the peen!"? And on the 5th hand... yeah, I think that's it, so the 5th hand shall remain empty.

...and now my mind has wandered to the thought of actually having 5 hands and I'm a little creeped out at the thought of it....although getting ready in the morning would be crazy easy with 5 hands...

Ok. So, I really only have 2 hands, but they are full of these 4 contradicting views on my love/lack-of-love life. There are other thoughts on this, but those are the ones that come up most often.

*sigh* Why can't my mind come with an off button? I could use a break from me.

ps. My overuse of the word "frick" is to be blamed on my rewatching Scrubs. <3 Zach Braff <3


Music pick for the Day: "Schadenfreude" by The Cast from Avenue Q
Beverage pick for the Day: Coffeeeeeeee
Socks for the Day: white and pink argyle socks (made from wool, so extra comfy and warm)

I'd have his babies

So, I was in a less than great mood today, so Myke was trying to cheer me up (<3 teh Myke). He made me a picture of Jonathan Coulton, saying that Jonathan Coulton wanted to have geeky babies with me. Which I would. I'd have Jonathan Coulton's babies. I'm sure his wife would disapprove, but I can dream, dammit. But, regardless of whose babies I will or will not be having, the picture did help to cheer me up. And it got me thinking that in less than 2 months we will be going to see Jonathan Coulton for the THIRD time. I'm just sad that it's on May 2nd and not the 1st of May.

*sigh* Stupid Minneapolis stealing the 1st of May. CURSE YOU, MINNESOTA!

Madness??

So, yeah. Still bored. Not much to update on. I am watching 300 for the 3rd time in 2 days and it made me think of this comic that I saw the other day that made me smile. And just before 300 came on today, I caught the last 30 minutes of "Coming to America". Man, I love that movie. Makes me think of the good ol' days when Eddie Murphy still made good movies...well, good by my standards, anyway.

So, I shall now leave you with the greatest joke in Eddie Murphy Movie HISTORY: Whaddya know from funny, you bastard?


Music pick for the Day: "As Long As You're Mine" by Idina Menzel and Norbert Leo Butz (from Wicked)
Beverage pick for the Day: Ramune soda
Socks for the Day: black and pink (they actually say "PINK" on the bottom in pink)...pink (that sounds eerily familiar, doesn't it??)

I'm thinking I'm bored

So, I've noticed that in the last month I have updated my blog more than I had for the entire year of 2007. Is it because I have more to say lately than I did last year? Is it because I *want* to say more than I did last year? Am I just a lot more bored this past month than I had been last year? I'm going to go with the bored one. Cause, really, I'm pretty bored. All the time. I must even be bored when I'm sleeping because I usually remember my dreams, and I haven't been lately. Why? I'm guessing because they are boring. So, I'm going to have to make an effort to unbore myself. I really have no idea how to go about doing that, since if I knew how to be unbored, I really wouldn't be having this issue.

So, if you have any ideas on how to be unbored, I'd love to hear them! I can't say that I will try everything, but if it's interesting enough, I'll give it a go.

And, Squark, I have a pretty good idea as to what you are going to suggest, so I'm just gonna beat you to it and say "no" right off the bat.


Music pick for the Day: "Escape (The Pina Coloda Song)" by Rupert Holmes
Beverage pick fo the Day: water
Socks for the Day: pink with MONKEYS on them

Touch My Body

So, Mariah Carey has a new song. And a new video. And she seems to be branching out to appeal more to the geek crowd. Laser tag? Guitar Hero? She's even wearing an anime school girl outfit. My favorite part? That Jack McBrayer is the geek boy. <3 Kenneth!

And, speaking of Jack McBrayer: he had a bit role on Arrested Development as a waiter. And what do I love about Arrested Development? Michael Cera, aka George Michael. I hearted him even more when I saw him get fired from "Knocked Up", which is a parody of Lily Tomlin and David O. Russell on "I Heart Huckabees". He also has an internet show that he started with his friend Clark Duke, and the show is called... wait for it.... Clark and Michael. Watch it. Love it. Love Michael. And, everytime I say the name Michael, in my head, I sound like GOB....
is that weird? I can't tell anymore.

And, speaking of Arrested Development... Jason Bateman has spoken out a few times about how there is much interest in making an Arrested Development movie. Last time I'd heard anything about it, they were talking about starting after the writers strike...which is done, so I'm waiting quite impatiently for an update! But, I keep watching Keith Olbermann give his shout out to the movie. I kind of <3 Keith, too. And I <3 that he seems to be such a big fan of the show.
So, please, powers that be, make the movie a reality!

I mean, COME ON!

Music pick for the Day: "Mr. Roboto", by Stix (cuz, Tony Hale was in that VW commercial...and he was Buster on Arrested Development... )
Beverage pick for the Day: coffee... SHOCK AND AWE

The monkeys, they don't a-do it... they make-a love

So, today was, again, "meh". But, it's betterish now. And, since I'm in a good mood, I shall now post clips from one of my favorite shows from long ago, "The State".

"Watch the Monkeys Do It"
"The Barry Lutz Show: Monkey Torture"
"Barry and Levon.... awwwwww yeeaaaah"
"TACO MAN"
"The Jew, The Italian, and the Red Head Gay"


*sigh* So many skits that I can't find! Bacon, The Bearded Men of Space Station 11, Sea Monkeys, Blueberry Johnson, Antonio, Tammy Wilkins: Notebook Artist, The Animal Song, Dan the Very Popular Openly Gay High School Student, Bikini Thong, Porcupine Racetrack, any of the Doug skits...

Seriously, this show has to be put out on DVD. I will buy a copy for everyone I know and they will watch it until they love it.

Suzie, if you're reading this, I just want you to know: I love the tacos. Ok? They... they may be the best tacos I've ever had. It's just that.. well, I think if I had to choose between the tacos and the mail... I'd have to choose the mail.
