"and we could get an otter that plays the trumpet!"

ok.  so, i was home in maine from sunday morning to monday evening.  during this time, Kara and i had many discussions about the JoBros.  specifically about their tv show and their song 'Paranoid,' which is awesome.  

so, Kara left to go back to school around 4pm on monday.  and then my mom took a nap.  so, i used this time wisely to get caught up on my tv.  since i do not have cable in my apartment, sometimes when i'm home, i like to sit and watch tv.  i think this is reasonable.  sometimes it's fun to just flip through channels.

SO, i was looking at the exciting TV guide channel and trying to decide what i wanted to watch.  here were my options:

-  Little People, Big World

-  When Did You Last See Your Father?  

-  Grey's Anatomy

-  Wizards of Waverly Place

THEN, at 5pm, i saw that

-  Jon and Kate Plus 8 

AND

-  JONAS 

were coming on.  NICE.  i thought to myself.  i watched Little People Big World until Jon and Kate came on.  then flip flopped between that and the Jonas Brothers show.

i had only seen a snippet of the JoBros show while in Ogunquit this past summer visiting with Aliya and her cousins.  we watched it for like, 10 seconds.  but, Kara is very strong in her opinion that it is the absolute worst show ever created.  it makes her hate the JoBros.  

so, i began watching the episode.  it was the episode called, 'Detention' where, to prove that he's treated no different than anyone else, Joe Jonas tries to get a detention.  he's doing this all to win the heart of Abby.  

and i'm like, loving it.  holy crap this is the best show ever.  let me try and recreate some dialogue for you:

JOE:  How am I going to get a detention before the end of the day!?

KEVIN:  I can have 25 goats and a wooden barrel here in an hour.  Just let me know.

that Kevin is HILARIOUS.  anyways, i flipped between the JoBros and Jon and Kate.  at times, it was hard to determine who was being cuter, the sextuplets, or the JoBros.  

anyways.  immediately i wanted to watch more of the show.  i secretly wished there was a marathon.

so, the next step was Netflix.  i went on to see if they had the JONAS dvds.  NOT ONLY did they have all of season 1, BUT you can watch them instantly through the computer.

my plan for the night was set.  oh yeah.

so, i had a nice supper with my mom.  got my things together.  then around 7:20pm i left to come back home.  nice drive back.  listened to my awesome playlist.  arrived back here at 9:30pm.  

checked in with work.  things were fine.  went upstairs.  there were three different toys sticking out under my door.  courtesy of Miss Tuesday.  she was very excited that i was back.  and she immediately wanted food.

so, i stayed with her for a little.  we played fetch with some round things and some twisty ties.  she was happy about this.

then i changed into my pajamas and settled on the couch for a long night of JONAS.  

WOW.  wow.  wow!  that's all i have to say about that show.  i was laughing so hard.  it was unreal.  

i watched like, 4 or 5 episodes.  MAN.  so good.  i just love how they say "awesome" all the time.  and how in every scene in the show, they are all wearing some combination of cardigans, vests, and plaid shirts.  IT'S SO GREAT.  

they are so effing cute i can't stand it.  

the best episode was the second one.  where they forget their mom's birthday so at the last minute they decided to transfer all the home videos onto dvd.  but then there is chaos while baking the cake, long story short - they destroy the home movies.  and then Kevin comes up with this totes brillz idea to recreate the home videos.  

he's like, "we can't save the videos, but we can save the memories."

it was a beautiful moment.  so, they recreated all their home movies from when they were little.  omg they were cute babies.  you could totally tell that they were their actual home videos.  Frankie Jonas wasn't born yet, and he wasn't happy about that.  but they included him in some scenes anyways.

another great part was from episode 3.  where all three Jonas Brothers fall for the same girl!  uh oh.  it's the girl who delivers pizza to their house.  so, they turn to the Jonas Book of Law, or something, which is this very old, old book detailing the "brotherly law" or whatever.  it was awesome.  of course the law states that if all three brothers are "crushing" on the same girl, no Jonas will date her.  

but of course they still fight about it.  and they're all so in love with her and then they talk to their stylist/friend/girl who has a crush on Joe, Stella.  and she says, 

STELLA:  Okay, if you all are so in love with her, name one thing she does besides deliver pizza.

JOE:  Her hair is shiny.

NICK:  She smells nice.

KEVIN:  She delivers garlic bread!

KEVIN!!!  that son of a gun.   he makes me laugh so hard.  he's like, the crazy one.  Joe is the hott ladies man.  and Nick is the serious/intense one.  

oh man, it's so great.  i seriously can't wait to watch more tonight.  

AND THEN.  guess what else i had to do last night?

um, remove the freaking Windows Police Pro virus from my computer FOR THE THIRD TIME.  or, is the the fourth time?  however many times, i can pretty much remove the virus blind.  

and do you know what i was doing when the virus popped up!??!  i was looking up the lyrics to a Demi Lovato song.  the most unsuspicious thing ever.  

ok, i lied.  i was looking up the video to the song.  at first i didn't want to say video because i didn't want you to know that i was actually watching the Demi Lovato video.

but then i realized that this whole post has been about me loving the JoBros show.  and then decided that it didn't really matter what you thought of me at this point.

ok.  anyways.  i got the virus off.  or, probably not.  but, at least for now.  i'm kind of sick of this.  and, when i started up the computer last night i got the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH at first.  and then i immediately had to restart it.  so, i think it's pretty sick.  

so.  i'm working right now.  here is what i've done today:

-  slept from 3:45am - 7:45am

-  worked from 8am-9:15am

-  slept from 9:30am-noon 

-  working from 12:30pm-6:30pm ish

we've got birthing class in half an hour.  then hanging out until 6:30ish.  then courtney comes back.  

i've gotten to hang out with some very beautiful baby girls today!  and i am now proud to say that i know all the songs on the Elmo movie.  Elmo in Grouchland, i believe.  

OH.  one more quick thing.  

THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY:  it's all i want.  everyone pitch in because it costs $700.  it's a WEEKLONG LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER job on Rose Island off of Newport, Rhode Island.  you get to stay in the lighthouse for a week and they teach you what to do!  you don't get paid for doing it, but all your expenses plus the $700 are tax deductible.  

i've already checked availability and the week of my birthday is open!  it's cheaper in the winter, although it's probably freezing.  there's a whole apartment on the second floor of the lighthouse house that i can stay in.  it's like, 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week that you work.  but you get to live in the lighthouse!  and help out!  

i think it sounds pretty cool.  and the lighthouse is beautiful.  and it's right in Rhode Island!  it's perfect.  

so there!  no more worrying about what to get me for my birthday.  because i know you're probably all starting to worry.  25 february 2010!  save the date!  best day ever!

and i know what you're thinking, 

"but julie, you probably won't be able to watch the Academy Awards if you're living in a lighthouse..."

BUT, that's all set because the Awards aren't until 7 March 2010.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!  the Oscars are on your birthday.  trust me, it's the best gift you could ever receive.  

so, i'll be done with my lighthouse keeper duties by then.  

ALRIGHT.  to birthing class we go.  have a good afternoon.  i'll talk to you later, maybe.  or, i might be too busy watching JONAS.  

<3!
