"we could like, text"

i just finished watching Two Lovers. the one with Joaquin and Gwyneth. i really liked it. it was sad. but, realistic seeming. the dialogue rocked. it was a sweet and simple film. nicely done, filmmakers and actors. really pretty music, too. especially on the DVD menu. i'm listening to it right now. and a creepy heartbeat/ocean sound during the end of the credits. you should see it.

i also watched Bottle Shock last night. is that one word? Bottleshock. or, BottleShock? i don't know. well, i watched like, half of it and then got too tired. that's the one with Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman about the wine makers in California during the 70's. 1978, i think. Chris Pine was also in it, which i didn't know he'd be until the movie started. what a pleasant surprise. and, he played Bill Pullman's son. and, since i knew Bill Pullman's daughter when we went to the same college, basically it's like i know Chris Pine. so, i was happy about that.

i've been thinking about my friend Dan from college lately. i think i might send him a message. we wrote for The Climax together.

so, lettuce was on sale at the grocery store for $.99! i was super, super happy about this. except, it was the kind of lettuce that is not in bags. not like, the prepared salad mix. but, like, a head of lettuce. and i usually buy it in a bag. but, they didn't have any tonight. and i don't like thinking about all the people who might have touched the lettuce before me. and it was all kind of wilty and sad looking.

i guess now that i think about it, it wasn't a very good lettuce purchasing experience. except for the $.99 part. ah well. it tasted good tonight. and i washed it thoroughly.

i think 'thoroughly' is one of the hardest words to spell. i always have to think hard about it. am i the only one? it's kind of a tricky word. it's like 'through' with a little something extra.

tomorrow we don't have staff meeting. it's being moved to every other week now, because there's nothing to talk about, really. but, i have to take one of the girls to a doctor's appointment. we need to be there by 2:45. that should be good.

last night, me and the two residents were hanging out a little bit. it was really nice. especially since one of them is leaving next week. i'm really going to miss her. we were downstairs and once the other resident had gone up, she asked me,

RESIDENT: Julie?
JULIE: Yeah?
RESIDENT: Would you mind staying down here with me until my water boils?
JULIE: Of course not.

she was making Ramen. i thought that was sweet.

i decided tonight while on my way home from the grocery store that i would like to have a bridge named after me. it doesn't have to be a big bridge. it doesn't have to be in a big city or anything. just a normal bridge. that assists people in their crossing of bodies of water. i guess that's my only requirement. it has to be over a body of water. not like, train tracks or anything. those bridges aren't as pretty. (unless someone is reading this who has a bridge named after them that goes across train tracks. i'm sure your bridge is lovely.)

i wonder how you get someone to name a bridge after you? do you have to donate money to the building of the bridge? if anyone has any info, or would like to name a bridge after me, please get in touch. make me an offer!

the julie bridge
or
julie's bridge

sounds good to me.

OMG GUESS WHAT I DID TONIGHT?!??!?!?! i figured out how to upload MUSIC and PICTURES to my PHONE!! my mobile phone. and i could transfer the pictures i've taken to my computer. it took me maybe, half an hour yesterday and maybe an hour today to figure out how. but i did it. now my phone can play music. that's so weird. who needs that? i don't need that. but, now i have it.

so, i would like to showcase some photos for you that i have taken with my phone. the only pictures that i really take are of Ruby Tuesday. but, she's pretty darn cute. so, i think you will like them.


this is in my kitchen. that's my new kitchen table. isn't she sweet? she likes to sit there and look out the window. that's the yellow house next door where i thought there was a ghost family living. but then i found out that's it's a sweet retired doctor and his second wife. they have a really nice porch.


this is one of Ruby Tuesday's favorite places to sleep during the day. it's a giant rock that Aliya made!!!!! it's the perfect kitty size. she loves it.


sleeping on the green chair i got from my dad. as you can see, she never stops being cute.


on the green chair again. she looks HUGE in this picture. oh, and what's that hott totebag in the background? oh, it's just my Coconut Records bag which i use all the time. again, it's my favorite totebag. not like those other lame totes that are ugly and unreliable. i'm kidding, i have the best totebags. maybe i'll take a picture of them for you sometime.


she was looking for a bug, obvi. at first i was worried for her that she was up so high, but she just wasn't listening to me. so, i took pictures instead. i made that 'Let the Sun Shine' picture from a t-shirt that Maria got me. i love it. and those are Aliya's twinkle lights.


this is Ruby Tuesday's new futon. she loves it. she sleeps there during the day when she's not sleeping on the rock. this is in my front room. and the futon is covered with animals that Aliya also made. she loves them!


this is a window connecting my bathroom and kitchen. it's because the only heater in the apartment is in the kitchen. so, there's a window right above it that leads to the bathroom, and then there are other holes in the top of the bathroom ceiling so the heat can travel back to my bedroom. it's quite a complicated process. and i had been wondering how long it would be until Ruby noticed it. this was taken just the other night. i had to help her get down.


sleepy on the kitchen floor.


this was when i realized i could let Kara know where i was in Heroes by sending her pictures of the episodes!!!! i was pretty surprised at how good the quality was. this is Nathan. i like him a lot. i think he's in Mexico in this episode. that was kind of weird. this guy is married to the lead singer of The Dixie Chicks in real life.


by the second picture, Kara was mad. this is Sylar and the bald guy in a car together. they tried to kill each other soooo many times. but in the end, they were just dudebros. i think this was one of the many times during the show where i shouted, "MAKE OUT!!" at the computer.

(ps: what a hottie!)


i laughed so hard when i walked into the tiny room and saw her sleeping like this. she just looks so funny.


and she just loves that rock.


this was taken this afternoon. again, note the Coconut Records bag in the background.

and there you have it! those are some pretty good quality photos taken from a phone, eh? i guess they pretty much look like normal pictures. i promise i took them with my phone.

holy crap it's 4am!!! yikes. i guess i have to try and go to sleep since i have to wake up early tomorrow. well. maybe by like, noontime. i also have to go to the bank and try and get my Euro switched to Dollar. finally. i've only been back in the states for over a month now. geeze. i'm hoping the bank in town can do it. i have $45 euro to change over. that is an unnecessary dollar sign there. but, i'm not going to delete it.

hey, anyone seen The Great Buck Howard? i think it looks pretty funny. i think it might be a movie that i watch with Buck. he might enjoy it purely because it has his name in the title.

ugh i have to fill out my timesheet tonight. aw man i totes forgot about that until right now. i guess i should have been doing that instead of updating again. oh well. i don't regret it, do you? you shouldn't because there are cute pictures of Ruby Tuesday and Sylar in here and you wouldn't have seen them if i was filling out my timesheet instead.

ok, friends. hey, ya know what? i just want you all to know that i really appreciate you reading this. whether you're my best friend, or i've never met you. thank you.

i should have a Misty Green and Blue Reader Appreciation Week. !!!!!!!!!! what a great idea!!!!! i will start planning. maybe next week? it has to be a week that YOU ALL are free and will be able to check the blog at least once a day so i can appreciate you.

OH WAIT! next week isn't good for me. it's Kara's Birthday Celebration Week 2009. maybe i'll do like, wednesday to wednesday? starting this wednesday!!??!!? that's tomorrow!!!! can everyone be here?? and then it will END on Kara's birthday. and it will be a double celebration.

every other job has an "appreciation week," why shouldn't blog reading? i mean, if you check the blog at least once a day, that's like going to work. except for funner, duh!

ok - i'm so excited!!!!!!!!! i have to plan a special thing every day for you all.

GET EXCITED, READERS. it's all about you.


<3


(yes, you.)
