Hi Internetz.
Feb. 7th, 2007 01:37 amToday sucks. I didn't get the job I applied for. I guess I should've worn that push-up bra after all. Hopefully I'll get called a little more for subbing or I can get in doing something artsy over the summer. But that's too far for me to think right now. I'm not into thinking much beyond the week-end, if that.
You know there's something wrong when they're playing a Best of Raffi ad on SciFi at quarter of 1 during the X-Files when it cuts off halfway through and is replaced by an ad for the best of Depeche Mode. Although, my brain seems to retain the best information. The girl who plays Lisa Kyte in the Shadows ep looked and sounded really familiar, so I IMDB'ed her. Her name is Lisa Waltz and she was in Brighton Beach Memoirs as Nora in 1986 which I watched in 1996 English class. I can't do math to save my life, but damned if I can't remember a bit actress who was in a movie I haven't seen in 11 years. Go figure.
Speaking of, that new show on SciFi, Special Unit 2, looks like a cheesy X-Files rip off that I'll never watch. It kind of makes me bitter for no really good reason. However, SciFi is playing one of my favourite movies of all time on Thursday (at 9, so I remember). I really need to eventually just buy it on DVD, especially since it was only $20. Maybe I can find a good deal on it used.
By the way, did anyone watch SVU last week? I missed something big. What happened to Stabler? Did he beat someone up or what?
I finally got a chance to smoke the Honduran cigar I bought over the week-end. Maybe they're going to be the next Cuba because it was really good. No really bitterness, no weird funky aftertaste, almost kind of sweet. It was a Saint Luis Rey Toro, if I didn't remember to write about it before. Yesterday, I picked up a Dutch Masters on a whim while we were getting wine for dinner. It pretty much killed the salesguy, which reminded me mostly why I started smoking cigars in the first place (other reasons included more tobacco for my buck and less fibreglass/additives). We also picked up a bottle of speyside Scotch and a bottle of something called Pinot Evil, which made me laugh like a giddy 12 year old.
I ruined Nicki's works impression of me as a loud mouthed, cranky ass bitch with no fashion sense by turning up at her work in the Suit of Doom. If I could have kept my mouth shut, I definitely would have looked like an actual adult. I started a painting yesterday too. Yesterday, I was productive.
Today is my grandma's 81st birthday. Steven and I got her a little jewelry box with her initial on it. I'm going to put her snowflake pin from the wedding in it. I need to email Mum and find out of there's a picture of the two of us that we could put in it for her. Not overly useful, but very pretty and something she might like.
I actually ended up dyeing my hair again today, too. I had kind of wonky roots from having it highlighted previously and my usual routine of semi-permanent colour didn't do much. I ended up going with Garnier Nutrisse instead of what I usually use because it was permanent and a dollar cheaper than the Natural Instincts. Oh my god, I wish I had done it sooner. The colour is totally gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. It also totally covered my happy crop of white hairs. It went on perfectly evenly, as well, without the overly bright just-dyed thing that I usually get from Natural Instincts. Now it's just a matter of seeing how it fades or behaves over the next month or so.
My feet are really cold. I just finished painting my toenails seafoam green, so I don't want to put socks on yet. I'm tired, but I don't want to go to bed yet. The nightmares were pretty bad again last night and I think that's a lot of what's leading me to stay up, subconsciously. Last night's involved spiders. It sounds so stupid when I type it out here, but I had to get out of bed and sit up for a good 45 minutes before I could calm down.
I hate winter.
