Last night, I had another bizarre dream. I was auditioning for the part of a game show host for two people I don't really like. The two people stood above me as I answered survey questions on a laptop. Everytime I'd enter an answer they'd make these obnoxiously loud buzzing noises, followed by phrases that made little or no sense: Errrr, thanks for parking in a no parking zone! Whew wee, substitution is against generic laws. Like I said, the phrases were ridiculous. I'm not even sure what type of game it was. I don't really watch game shows and have only met the people I was auditioning for once, possibly twice. Since I'm not fond of them or game shows it's weird that they'd end up in my dreams. It seems the only dreams I can recall are crazy or scary. It'd be nice to remember something sweet. Theres a dream I have where I sail away; Looking back I wave at you, And I wave goodbye ~ "Caroline" by Concrete Blonde |
Today, I have decided that if I had to get rid of one of my senses it would be the sense of smell. Two separate people checked in today, both with their own distinct odor, none of which were the least bit appealing. It was apparent that their standards were low when it came to the factor of hygiene. One of them decided to belch in my face which made my stomach turn, of course it was after he payed so I couldn't jack up the price. He didn't think anything of it either. His manners matched his hygiene. I'm very particular when it comes to hygiene so it really bothers me to be in the presence of someone who doesn't care. I don't want to touch their money or identifcation card, and I don't want them touching anything that's in the office. Let it rain today, this city's so filthy ~ "Wash" by Pearl Jam |
I've never seen "Finding Nemo", but I am watching it right now from work. I know it's a cartoon, but I already had to pause it. I'm only 5 minutes into it and crying. I didn't think a children's flick would make me cry, so I felt safe enough to watch it from work. My kids have seen this quite a few times while I was cooking or doing housework. Now, I wish I had cuddled up next to them and watched it with them. My bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything. The pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything. ~ "Black" by Pearl Jam |
Since I had to work on Christmas Eve & Christmas I am making a Christmas dinner tomorrow (Thursday). I wish it were for a gathering of people because I miss cooking for big holiday dinners. However, I am still a bit anxious to start cooking.![]() On Christmas Eve, I was driving home from work at 4am and the streets were dead. I started to slow down on the main highway to make a left-hand turn and I noticed something sitting on the median. I turned on my 4-ways, got out of the car, and tried to get a closer look (not too close though). It resembled a cat, but when it turned it's head I noticed it had been hit. The entire side of his head was bloody and he kept trying to cross the road. The only thing this poor animal could do was collapse. I called 911 because Animal Control wasn't working. The dispatcher kept saying, "well, there's not much we can do. It's a holiday and it's cold and raining." I started crying because I had no idea where to take him, or if I should even attempt to move him. Finally, she agreed to send out a cop after I kept repeating, "There's an injured animal here that needs medical attention in the middle of the road." I pulled in a parking lot and waited outside for 20 minutes before someone showed up. In that time, I noticed it wasn't a cat; it was a baby fox. I wasn't sure how they would handle it. I didn't really converse with the officer, but I could hear him talking on the radio thing-a-ma-jiggy. "Yeah, it's a tiny fox. It's nooooo cat." I guess that should have made a difference ![]() Now, I have been wondering if it was because he wasn't going to do anything. I'm not sure what else I could have done, but I feel a lot better knowing I attempted to do something. Now she seems to be sand under his shoes There's nothing I can do ~ "Bells for Her" by Tori Amos |
Last year I took several months of surveying people for the Romance Movie Showdown in my romance newsletters. The final issue, "Romance/Love Newsletter (August 3, 2005)" ![]() Enough time has passed and now I want to do a the same thing with romantic lyrics. I'm getting a head start here and asking for your picks. ![]() I want nothing more than to sit outside Heaven's door and listen to your breathing ~ "Breathing" by Lifehouse |
I was googling T.S. Eliot poems last night and found something interesting. I started reading The Rum Tum Tugger and couldn't understand why I already knew the lines. After I read a few more the same thing happened. I realized then that the Broadway musical "Cats" used T.S. Eliot's poems as their songs. http://poetry.poetryx.com/poets/22/ You’ve seen them both at work and games, And learnt about their proper names, Their habits and their habitat: But How would you ad-dress a Cat?

Why do people think they can reserve a room when they have nothing to reserve it with? I get a phone call almost everyday with someone asking to reserve a room and when I get to the credit card part they say, "Uh, oh I don't got no credit card." I tell them they have to come in and pay for it. I can't hold a room for someone without having something to hold it with. They can't understand why they need one. If I hold a room for someone and they don't show who pays for the room? I explain that to them and they still don't get it. Then there are those that come in and want to pay half now, half later ![]() You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave~ "Hotel California" by The Eagles |
