"There's this picture of me straight up chillin' with some raccoons on the couch."

that was an actual sentence that someone said to me today. it was a true sentence. and it was serious. i laughed pretty freaking hard. "straight up chillin with some raccoons." how many times do you think you'll hear that again in your lifetime? think about it. yeah, now it's funny.

anyways.

today was a good day. busy as always. i walked downstairs to go to work and as soon as i stepped in the door i hear, "hi julie!" it was the 18 month old. she was eating a banana. it was very cute.

things were pretty normal, i suppose. speaking of the 18 month old. omg, it was so funny. we were all at the dinner table, and of course she's got food all over her face. and her mom was feeding her little sister food. and she turns to her mom and yells, "I NEED A WIPE!" only, she can't really say the 'w' sound, so it sounded like this, "I NEED A YIPE!" we were all laughing really hard. and so her mom would say, "what do you need?" "I NEED A YIPE!!!" it was really funny.

and after her bath, she runs into the staff office, and me, courtney and jamie are all sitting in there. and she turns to each of us and says, "hi julie! hi courtney! hi jamie!" and so we all say hello back. and then she says, "i need some milk!" so then her mom brings her in her sippy cup with milk. and she's walking around all sassy with the cup. and finally she goes over to the couch and says, "i'm gonna get up here. i'm gonna lay down on this pillow." and so, she climbs onto the couch, lays down on the pillow and says, "goodnight!" and so we all say goodnight. and then her mom says, "let's go to your crib!" so, she gets off the couch and says, "goodnight! see you in the morning!"

her verbal skills are cr-azy. she can say anything. she's sooooo adorable.

and the newborn baby was pretty cranky tonight. his mom called me down twice to her room to try and get him back to sleep. after the second time, i came back upstairs, made supper and had just sat down to watch Heroes, when she called me down again because he was cranky.

and he was pretty cranky. or, he was being a little 'fussmuffin' as i like to say. it took us awhile to calm him back down. i think he might have had a little upset belly. but finally i got him to sleep, rocking him. but the minute i put him in his bassinet, he woke up again. so, i stood there for like, 10 minutes rocking the bassinet. his mom had climbed back into bed and was asleep.

ah well.

and then! to top it all off, i came back upstairs and who was asleep in the spot where i was sitting? Miss Ruby Tuesday. and i had no way of knowing if she ate any of my supper. she probably did because i had yogurt and a chicken salad sandwich. and i had already given her a little yogurt. it was raspberry flavored. she loved it.

OH! i have to tell you about the tv survey!!!!! nobody reminded me, but i remembered on my own!!!!

SO! member how a few weeks ago i got that random tv survey by the Nielsen people? and they sent me $2 as a thank you for doing the survey. which was like, one question.

WELL.

i got this huge freaking envelope from them in the mail the other day and i thought, "oh geeze, what the heck is this?" i thought it would be the totally boring results from the survey. but, it was not.

it was a tv diary that they want me to keep starting THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29 and going until NEXT WEDNESDAY. and it's super specific. like,

1. write down all the members of your household, their genders, ages, and how many hours a week they work
2. next to the appropriate time (in fifteen minute increments) write the program you watched, the channel you watched it on, how long you watched it for, and WHO in your household watched it.
3. if the tv is on in the house, but no one is watching it, check the correct box.

and it's like, alllllll this super specific information. and, i feel kind of bad, because something i must have written in the first survey made them believe that i could actually watch tv. and, i can't.

ok, here's what i think happened: in the first survey the question was, "is there a working tv in your home?" and i debated it. because, 'yes' there is a working television set, but 'no' i cannot watch tv on it. so, i checked yes. and i think that was the problem.

so, i can't decide what to do. i mean, there's an option that says, 'no tv was watched during this time.' but, i feel bad checking that option. i think i'll bring the diary home with me this weekend and maybe do it then.

but! here's the best part. and also the part that makes me feel guilty about not doing the diary.

so, the first time i got $2. member how freaking excited i was? FREE $2. well. folks. THIS TIME. guess how much they sent in that envelope. i bet you'll never guess.

THIRTY DOLLARS. $30. for those of you playing at home, that's a $20 bill and a $10 bill.

YEAH. wow, right? i could not believe it. i just won thirty bucks, basically for doing nothing. ACTUALLY, more like, thirty-two bucks. now, maybe $32 doesn't seem like a lot of money to you, but to a member of the lower middle class such as i, it's like winning the lottery.

i like having these Neilsen people as my friends. i should keep them around.

but also, i kind of hope that i'm the only person they are asking to take this survey. because, i also don't like to think that they have say, 10,000 surveys out in this country, all with $30 in them. because that's way too much money just to have laying around. PLUS postage both ways.

soooo, yeah. that's part 2 of my tv survey. if i turn in the completed survey ontime, i wonder what my next gift will be!?!? as Veronica would say, "......A PONY?!!?"

aAAAAHHHHHHHH five more hours of work and then i'm on mini-vacation!!!!! known as two days off. man, it's hard working 7 days a week. 16.5 hours a day. i shouldn't complain. i bet lots of people in this country who don't get sent 30 free dollars have to work waaaay harder than i do for waaaayyyy longer hours.

oh! speaking of Veronica Mars. last night, i had a dream about Duncan and Lily Kane. they are two characters on the tv show. Duncan is Veronica's ex-boyfriend. and Lily is his sister, Veronica's best friend, who was murdered. i can't remember what the dream was about. only that they were there. weird.

ok. i have to tidy up the apartment a little bit. and i know i should do it tonight because i'll never wake up in time to do it in the morning. my plan is to leave here at 11.

oh. here's another thing that happened at work tonight.

so, one of the residents was for some reason, showing off her bottle of shampoo. it was Herbal Essences. it was a kind of fancy bottle with swirly looking shampoo. and she wanted to show us how the shampoo looked, not in the bottle. so, she squeezed some out onto her hand.

and then, she had this huge glob of shampoo in her hands. and what does she do? start playing with it. and it's gross. and then she decides to smear a tiny bit on Jamie's cheek, and on my cheek. great! it smelled really good, actually.

and, i was basically holding the newborn all night, so i kind of forgot about the shampoo on my cheek. and it dried up and everything. and then i totally forgot about it.

UNTIL. like, a couple hours later, the mom of the newborn says, "um, what's the matter with your cheek? and i'm like, "what do you mean?" and she says, "there's a bright red spot." and, sure enough, there was a bright red spot where the shampoo was. and the bright red spot, slowly turned into a bright red cheek. which slowly turned into a slightly swollen, bright red cheek. awesome.

it's all better now. but, it was crazy. i was like, "awesome. my face is gonna swell up." but, just one side. and just a little. and, like i said, it's all better now.

what have i learned from this? that i am glad to spend the extra money on my Burt's Bees shampoo that is 97% natural and not totally full of strange chemicals that i am allergic to. same with conditioner.

except when i create my own Vomditioner. on the day that Jason Schwartzman gets married.

it kind of sucks that anytime i think of "jason schwartzman married" i will think of the word "vomditioner."

OH! and something freaking else. MY EFFING EARRING IS DRIVING ME INSANE. so, for like, a week, my earring finally stopped hurting. this was last week. and i was so happy. 'finally!' i thought, 'my earring will stop hurting!" i think this everytime my earring stops hurting. and then everytime it starts again i think, 'DAMN YOU EARRING. I HATE YOU.'

so, tonight, when i couldn't stand my ear hurting any longer, i finally went into the bathroom and checked it out. and lo and behold, there is another freaking tiny blister RIGHT under my earring back. i was so mad.

WHY WHY WHY can't it just get better and STOP being crazy and START being normal. i have had this piercing almost 9 months. for realz. why is my body rejecting this piercing?!?!

maybe i'm allergic to the metal. what kind of metal is this?

i mean, there was a period of time where i was cleaning it with the ear cleaner like, 4 times a day.

ok. so, i just took a long feeding break. it's currently 4:36am. i have to go to bed soon. forget the "tidying." that very quickly turned into, "where can i throw stuff so it looks cleaner?" yeah. happens a lot around here.

anyways. the feeding went well. he was a hungry boy. ate 3.5 ounces! and, he only had one really good burp, so i told his mom,

JULIE: If he wakes up fussy, first check his diaper, and then I would try burping him some more, because he might have another burp.
MOM: Or I could call you.
JULIE: Or you could try those things first!
MOM: And then I can call you?
JULIE: .....Yes.
MOM: When he cries 'mama,' I cry 'Julie!'

i thought that was funny. he cries mama. i cry julie. i think the baby likes me.

ok. maybe i'll just try to pack my clothes tonight. so that in the morning, i will just throw things around so it looks cleaner.

oh man. Ruby Tuesday is so cute right now. i wish you could see.

wait a sec. i think there's a way to send photos from my phone to the blog. i think i set it up when i set up the telephone blogging. um, hold on. the photo will probably appear in the entry above this. i'm gonna try it.

ok! so, goodnight. i don't know when i'll talk to you next. i'll be cooped up inside watching tv and filling out my tv diary until next wednesday.

happy friday!!!!! have a great weekend.


<3!

babe-tastic

this has to be quick:

1. Started season 3 of Veronica Mars TODAY. love it so far. and Neil from Freaks and Geeks was in an episode! crazy! also, Dell from Private Practice. AND, the creepy janitor from Season 2 is now the TA for Veronica's criminology class? for realz? i'm glad that Veronica and Mac are such good friends. i like her a lot.

2. i'm watching the newborn baby overnight tonight. yep, he's here with me right now! sleeper mcgee. i'd be sleeper mcgee too if i just ate 3 1/4 oz of formula. (ps: yuck!) we cuddled together through two episodes of VM. he's really sweet. SUCH a good baby. i put him in his bouncy seat right now though, because i think i am going to go to bed soon and i wanted him to fall asleep there. i was supposed to give him back to his mom around 4 or 5 am, but i'm hoping that he'll sleep until 6. then i'll give him back.

3. went out for chinese food tonight with the whole gang. another coworker came along with her oh-so-beautiful baby girl. it was busy. hectic. lots of babies. kind of tough. but free food!

sleeping with the television and all the lights on

Grey's Anatomy is just too emotional for me. it chokes me up every time. just watched last week's episode. man. again. know what i love about the show, though? Mark and Lexi. i just really like them. together and separate. when Lexi first came on the show i HATED her. but now i think she's awesome.

know who i don't like? ALL the new people. ESPECIALLY the girl with the creeper eyes from Heroes. i think her name is Reed. and i can't remember what it was on Heroes. she was like, all flirty with Mohinder. she lived in the apartment across from his dad. and then she was secretly working with HRG. and then she ended up trying to bring down Sylar when they had him trapped in that room. but duh, he killed her. i think she had this mind power thing. is that right? and then she pointed the gun at him, but he overpowered her mind power thing, and she shot herself? is that what happened???

i want to say that her name was Morgan. but i don't think that's it at all. anyways. i'm annoyed she's on Grey's now.

hm. what else.

so, tonight, wednesday night, i'm working 3:30 until 10pm. and we're all going out for dinner. i think we're going to a chinese place. it's a birth dinner. whenever one of the girls gives birth, everybody goes out for a big dinner to celebrate. good deal for me because i'm working tomorrow! it's going to be a big crowd:

- me
- courtney
- jamie (intern)
- kristin
- resident 1
- resident 2
- resident 3
- 18 month old
- 8 month old
- 2.5 week old

fun times.

so, i took a nap tonight. i was on the phone with my mom for a while, and we were talking about the film, Milk. and so, when i got off the phone i thought, "hm, now i want to watch Milk." and i watched most of it, and then decided i was too tired. so, at 7pm, i stopped it. Ruby was already asleep on my legs. and i set my phone alarm clock for 7:30. and slept for half an hour!

it was great. then i woke up and took a bath. then went to work.

then came back upstairs. JUST as i was finished making supper, the baby started crying and i had to go downstairs.

was gone for about 40 minutes.

came back up. reheated my supper. watched Freaks and Geeks. it was the episode where Seth Rogen has a crush on the tuba girl. and Nick and Lindsey are still in love with each other. and Sam meets up with Neil's dad hugging the strange woman in the mall. drama! so good. i have another disc arriving tomorrow!!!! along with the first disc of the third season of Veronica Mars.

i was thinking about Entourage tonight. specifically Jeremy Piven. mmmm. how i miss those boys.

i'm going to try and get up and make it to the post office to get those disc. maybe get a coffee too. that will be motivating.

also, i decided that before the winter i am going to get my boots nice and cleaned up. it will be a reward for working so many hours. (in addition to the new laptop...)

so, i have these teal winter boots. i don't know what they are. maybe they're suede. i don't know. they're super warm and wonderful. OH i love them. they are winter boots, in the shape of cowboy boots. AND they are teal.

but, sometime last year while they were still in Maine, one of the cats peed on them. it was gross. and on top of that, the soles have holes in them and water leaks in.

onetime i even resorted to wrapping my feet in plastic bags so i could wear the boots. that's how much i love them.

but they smell. and all the various cleaning products i have tried to use to clean them have just not worked. so, they need to be re-dyed. and re-soled. and majorly cleaned.

so! after searching online, i have found a place that i think i will take them too. possibly next week.

Lenoci's Shoe and Leather Repair. in Rutland, Vermont. a little bit of a hike. about 40 minutes away. but it's a really pretty drive through the mountains and around rivers.

it sounds like a pretty cool place. i'm not expecting it to be cheap, but i'm expecting it to be totally worth it.

so that will be my adventure for next week. i'm excited to treat my boots to a makeover. oh, i love those boots.

aannnddddd......i think the baby is waking up. he's making little "wake up" noises.

ok. on that note, i will be off.

happy birthday today to matilda ledger! she turns the big 4!

have a great day!!! i'll talk to you later!


<3

"go for super-stud!"

oh man. just watched two episodes of Freaks and Geeks. so funny. one was the one where Bill, Sam, and Neil prank call the gym teacher. well, really only Bill. i was laughing so hard at the very beginning when they weren't getting picked for the baseball team. and bill was like, "pick me! pick me!" oh, it was so funny.

and then i watched the one where Sam buys that suit to impress Cindy. that blue jumpsuit. and he feathers his hair. haha! and Lindsey re-joins the mathletes. that was really funny. i really liked James Franco in that episode. actually, i really like him in the show in general.


anyways. today was a pretty lame day, i guess. i bought another pair of headphones that i don't like. i'm not happy about that.

i watched 3/4 of Revolutionary Road. i just felt like it. it made me really mad because there was a trailer for The Curious Snoozefest of Benjamin Button. and it brought back all my Pitt-hatred/Oscar bitterness.

it just doesn't make sense. WHY WHY WHY was Leo not even nominated?!?? HOW HOW HOW could they do that?!??!

ugh WHEN I AM PRESIDENT OF THE ACADEMY, i will be handing out Honorary Oscars for these injustices.

but i'm not going to get all wound up.

but! i'm super excited that Ricky Gervais is hosting the Globes!!!! THE GLOBES!!!! there hasn't been a host of the Globes since 1995! and they're bringing it back!!!! i think he'll be great. I love the Golden Globes. it's such a party. nominations come out on 15 november, i think!!

geeze. what will be nominated?? Zac Efron best actor musical or comedy. 17 again. he gets my vote. Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas win for best actor in a tv comedy series.

Zac Efron and The Jonas Brothers. there ya go.

seriously though, i wonder what will be nominated? it's gonna be so weird. 5 best picture noms at the globes. and then 10 at the oscars? like, what is the point??? they're just gonna throw in a bunch of crap.

i bet Away We Go will be nominated for Best Original Screenplay. at the Oscars. you heard it here first.

didn't do very much today. ran errands. came back here. hung out. showered. went to work. watched Freaks and Geeks.

i still keep thinking it's one day ahead of what it really is. because today i was so excited because tomorrow i can watch Heroes on Netflix. but then like, hours later, i remembered that it was only monday. and not tuesday. i like Heroes. i think it's good so far. but, i also loved the 3rd season.

wouldn't it be awesome if Jason Schwartzman was nominated for best original score?!!?!? for Funny People?!!!?! that would rock! i'm back to talking about the Academy Awards. OR! if he was nominated for Best Actor in a TV Comedy series. AAAHHHH!!!! that's the Globes.

he made the Sound Bites in Entertainment Weekly last week. i WAS SO EXCITED. it was this quote that his character said,

"In my heart I'm a vegan, in my mouth I lack discipline."

man, i wish people were still illegally uploading the episodes to youtube. i hope HBO didn't read about it in my blog and then went and tracked the people down. nah, i doubt HBO people are reading my blog.

IF YOU'RE READING MY BLOG AND WORK FOR HBO - show yourself!

also, i love Entourage. please release the current season on DVD asap.

i think it's pretty rad that Bored to Death got picked up for a second season after ONLY 3 episodes!!! hey, the people love it.

Jason is going to be in NYC doing some panel discussion in a few weeks. tickets are only like, 20 bucks or something. MAN wouldn't that be awesome? um, yeah. maybe he'll be in New York when Kara and i go see Rooney. and maybe he'll feel like popping over to Cambridge to play some Coconut Records. um yeah, i would die. i could die happy.

1. I saw the Kate and Leo movie
2. Kate won her Oscar
3. Jason and Robert jamming together?

yep.

actually. there's still a lot of things i want to do before i die. i haven't figured them out yet, though. does that count? i know they're there.

i think i want to be a music star. like, i want to play concerts. actually, i probably wouldn't like that.

i don't know what i want to be. besides, president of the usa, president of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences, security guard for a major studio lot, lighthouse keeper, location scout, and tv series dvd decider.

the tv series dvd decider is the job title that i just made up for the person who decides where to cut off the dvds at the really good moments. i still don't believe it's purely math-related.

i can't remember all the other jobs i want to be.

whoa, it's 4am! yikes.

last night i got into bed at 3:45am. i lay awake until 4:15am. then got up for a baby feeding. went back to bed at 5am. and finally fell asleep.

oh! i want to own a video store. duh! and wear a cardigan.

today i was driving and suddenly thought of Nell Arnold. my writing teacher/div 2 chair. and i thought of her funky style. i need to put my div 3 in the library.

so, Firefox keeps crashing. it's crashed like, probably 10 times tonight. and my whole computer crashed once tonight.

i should watch Crash, while my computer is crashing, while listening to Dave Matthew Band's Crash Into Me.

it's like the Phantom Planet blog video, Sparks x4, where they are driving through Sparks, Nevada, and Alex is drinking the drink Sparks, sparking a lighter and listening to the band Sparks. it's a classic.

Alex and Darren have been having the craziest, funniest tweets on Twitter lately.

ok. this crashing is seriously getting annoying. thank god for automatic blog saving. or else this entry would be lost one thousand times over.

watched Hannah Montana tonight. has anyone seen the opening credits??? i think they are totally different. it's crazy. also, i didn't even recognize Lily. her best friend. she got all glam.

but man, the Jackson-Billy Ray Cyrus interaction still gets me. they are so funny. and i love watching the Disney channel because they have lots of commercials for Jonas. sunday nights at 8:30, i believe.

okay. my eye hurts. i have to go put eye drops in. and while i'm in my bedroom, i'll probably go to bed.

so! i'll talk to you later. sorry nothing exciting has been happening. hope you are well. it's always nice talking to you.


love!

like the smell of spring on a shifting wind

i have a stomach ache right now. it's weird. i wish i didn't have it.

i'm also pretty aggravated right now. UGH. i just want to go home. sometimes it's just way too much dealing with all this drama. i also want to take the newborn baby and make him my own. because i love him and he's so beautiful.

also, i just figured out my timesheet. here are the results: in the past two weeks (that's 14 days) i have worked a grand total of:

GRAND TOTAL = 191.25 hours.

one hundred ninety one point two five. that's how many hours i have worked. BY FAR the most i have ever worked since arriving here. or, in my life.

the least amount of hours in one day was = 2.25
the most amount of hours in one day was = 18.75


ugh i don't feel good. my stomach really hurts.


let's see. what else. i had a pear tonight. i'm thinking that maybe that's why my stomach hurts. it was a good pear. i washed it off. but maybe i missed some chemicals.

went grocery shopping tonight with one of the residents. man, it was a long list. and it was a frustrating experience. i kind of felt like the bad guy alllllll night long. right up until about 20 minutes ago! great.

it was funny because at the grocery store, one of the balloons that are tied by the check-out lanes had escaped. and there was like, a team of employees sent to retrieve the balloon. and they even had this long, complicated balloon-retrieving device handy. it was a sight to behold.

and there was this really attractive man in a nice teal shirt that walked by the aisle we were standing in twice. so, we had to stop in an aisle and feed the baby. and so we were standing in this aisle for like, 20 minutes. and this well dressed guy in a teal shirt walked by twice. he was handsome.

man i'm really cold.

i'm so glad i don't have anything to do tomorrow. meaning today. monday. well, i have to run two errands. one to the post office. and one to the grocery store. AW no. i have to go to wal mart too. UUUGGHHHH. i guess i could do that tuesday night. ugh i should just do it tomorrow. AFTER i sleep in a lot.

ugh i'm just in a not-great mood right now. i should go to bed. it's 2:24am. geeze, where did the time go?!?!

well, i was downstairs working until almost 11:30pm. and then back up here. and then back down for a feeding at 12:45am. and then i didn't come back up until like, probably almost 2am.

i also had to go down to the office to drop off my timesheet and while i was down there, one of the girls asked if i could do a french braid. ah, what the heck. she had just dyed her hair. and it's super long and thick.

maybe i'll get into bed. then i might be warm. geeze i'm freezing. i hope i'm not getting sick. tonight we thought one of the girls might have swine flu. but, it doesn't really seem like that anymore. we also thought one of the little girls might have pink eye.

there's like, a gallon container of germ-x in every room here. basically this house is like one of those plates of bacteria that you experiment on in science class. there are soo many germs.

and i hate using germ-x. it creeps me out. and it's not good for you anyways. and it annoys me that that's all they use at hospitals now. NOBODY washes their hands anymore! it's all germ-x.

also - what's with the new facebook layout? it doesn't make any sense.

so, the resident that i'm monitoring has just started listening to real music at nighttime and not baby music. and, she has this playlist on her ipod that is all country songs. and there are maybe like, 10 or 15 songs. and she has it on repeat. all night long. country. all night long.

she has Should've Said No, which i like. taylor swift. but then she has those other taylor swift songs that are horrible. the "slammin' screen door" song. that makes me think of that summer that Kara would force me to go to the beach like, everyday and she would always play that song on her ipod and she has this whole dance that goes with it. and it was so annoying and so funny. i miss her alot.

the other horrible taylor swift song is the one that has been out FOREVER. it's basically like her new song, only slow version. the new song that goes....."i wear t-shirts.....she wears skirts..." or something. ugh how does that other song go. it's SUPER OVERLY DRAMATIC. i can't stand it.

OH!!! TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR. that's what it's called. even the title is vom-worthy.

anyways, last night i fell asleep to the "slammin' screen door" song and it was nice because it made me think of Kara. but then i was sad because it made me think of Kara. and then i was mad. and then i fell asleep.

work has been very frustrating lately. i think i will just use that as a blanket statement. the blanket represents everything. what's outside the blanket? more blankets. everything is the same. "suresuresuresuresuresuresure."

i (heart) huckabees, anyone??? love that.

anyways. yes. work. frustrating. and i have been writing the word 'frustrating' a lot also in my log entries. today i logged for like, 2 pages. PLUS did individual logs. PLUS filled out all the new sheets for the upcoming week.

it's a lot of paperwork.

ok. no more complaining. i guess i will go to bed. because if i'm not complaining, then i have nothing to talk about!! that should be my blog slogan.

i'll tell you what i ate today:

- 2 slices of whole wheat multi-grain toast
- cup of coffee
- pear
- 4ish bites of hambuger helper
- yogurt

yum! the pear and the yogurt were the best. i had never in my life had hamburger helper until the other night when the girls made it for dinner. and i really liked it. tonight....not so much. the noodles were overcooked. maybe that is what is giving me a stomach ache.

i read that yogurt is one of the foods to eat to prevent you from getting swine flu.

i feel like my mentioning of swine flu in this entry is coming off like i really care about it. and i'm really concerned about getting it. both of those previous statements are untrue. i don't care about it. and i'm not concerned about getting it.

and i'm still not getting a flu shot. i'm taking a hint from my laptop and am not protected from dangerous viruses.

i think it's really, really creepy that everyone is getting these flu shots. i feel like it's a small step towards turning humans into robots. or something. i can't really explain it.

and for some reason, that makes me think of in Veronica Mars the other night when her dad is telling her that he would just like it if Veronica could roll around in this protective hamster ball so she could never get hurt. and Veronica says, "it would just get annoying. and nobody likes a blonde in a hampster ball."

oh, Veronica. she's so funny. i think i might buy all the seasons. seasons 1 and 2 are only like, $8 on amazon.com. and especially after seeing how season 2 ended i was immediately like, "must go back and rewatch everything!!!!!!!!!"

and i really want Kara to watch it.

ok. now i'm going to bed. this baby is like a time bomb now that he's off his schedule. he had been on a solid three hour schedule for 2 weeks straight. and now it's just free range. whenever, wherever. which makes sense because he's getting hungrier because he's getting bigger.

ok. now i'm going to bed. i'm getting another disc of Freaks and Geeks tomorrow in the mail. which i am VERY excited about. i saw the Jason Schwartzman episode. did i tell you this?!!?! why didn't i tell you this?!!?!? he looked like a baby. and it was really funny. that guidence counselor is crazy, man. and i loved how he ended up being in the band that they all got the fake id's to see. haha.

i still love Bill. he's so funny. but, i was pretty upset with Cindy for hanging out with Sam so much, only to tell him that she is in love with that other guy. i felt bad for Sam. and it was funny when he was auditioning to be the mascot.

ok! now i'm going to bed. sleep off the stomach ache. number one trick in the book.

goodnight everyone. sorry i was lame during this entry. being all angry and upset. or, whatever i was. i'll talk to you more later today. have a great beginning of the week!!!!!! last week of october!!! and then we move right on in to November, A.K.A. the month of Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday.

love you! goodnight.

holy cassidy casablancas

WOW.

so, i finished season 2 of Veronica Mars this afternoon. WOW. oh man i cried a lot. first i cried because i was:

1. scared. really scared. and in major shock.

then i cried because i was:

2. sad. really sad. like, devastated.

then i cried because i was:

3. relieved. so, freaking, incredibly relieved. and happy.

it was a good progression of tears. they went through every extreme possible. for serious.

man. i was shocked at the ending. i can't believe it. i still can't believe it. did ANYONE see that coming?!!? if you saw that ending coming, then you deserve some sort of medal.

also, i was looking up Veronica Mars music today because there was a song in an episode that i really liked (Lost and Found by Adrienne Pierce) and i saw a fanvideo for Logan and Veronica. i didn't watch it, but it was called, LoVe. and, those are the two first letters of their names! and i wondered if that was done on purpose.

i really love Logan. he's so sarcastic and wonderful. i admit, i was rooting for Veronica and Duncan at the beginning. and now Duncan has that beautiful baby girl!

i keep thinking that it will be monday when i wake up in the morning. i have my days all mixed up. all day i was thinking it was sunday.

last night i slept for 10 hours! with no interruptions!!!! i needed it. oh, it was great. i didn't wake up once. when was the last time you did something for 10 hours straight with no interruptions!!?? i totes recommend. it.

it downpoured all day today. it was very pretty to watch. it was foggy in the mountains.

and i tried for a long time to fix my computer. i read this long article pretty much describing all the symptoms i am having. and then it said, "you probably have a Bagle infection." and i said, "hmm....that sounds strangely delicious." and then it said, "download this and it will help you out."

so, i downloaded this thing. and ran this HUGE scan. it took like, over an hour. probably close to two hours to complete. and in the end: nothing. no bagles. or bagels. you'll find no bagels here.

and then i did a "search for disc error" scan on a start-up of windows. nada. scan was clean! great! then why isn't anything working?!

and i went to the microsoft website and found an article that again, described all my computer symptoms pretty perfectly. and then it said, "you are probably infected with the Pretty Park virus."

so i said, "great! i'll google it!" so, i googled it and it turned out to be a virus you get by opening strange email attachments. which, i never do. so, it is not the Penny Park virus. or, Pretty Park virus. i keep wanting to call it Penny Park. but, i think it's Pretty Park. Penny Park is a cute name.

so my computer prob continues to be a mystery!!! a great halloween mystery story!!!!!!! this is one to tell your children.

but, something weird happened. i got an error message saying that Dr. Watson's Postmortem Debugger had crashed, and the computer was sorry about this. and i immediately thought, "great, i've got a virus and nothing to protect me from it." so, i googled it on my phone, because my computer immediately crashed. and it turns out that Dr. Watson's Postmortem Debugger is a REAL program invented by Microsoft to report back to them if your computer is having problems.

and also apparently, it very rarely, pretty much never, crashes unless something is really wrong. that's what the people said on all the nerd websites i visited. one website was like, "congratulations! you have managed to win a ticket to hell!" that wasn't too encouraging.

but, that was a fun piece of Microsoft trivia that i didn't know. i actually don't know much Microsoft trivia. any, actually.

oh! but, i do know that the PC guy is a friend of the REAL guy who Jason Schwartzman portrays on his tv show Bored to Death. so, J.Schwartz plays this guy Jonathan Ames on his tv show. and, Jonathan Ames is a real guy. he's a writer. and he created the show kind of based on himself. and, he's really friends with the PC guy, who had a guest appearance on the show.

good story, right?! so basically...

PC = Jason Schwartzman
Mac = still Justin Long

so now which one do i get?!?! i'm not a super huge fan of Justin Long, i don't think. what has he done besides get arrested for pot?

oh! looking at IMDb, he played George Harrison in Walk Hard. um, and who played Ringo Starr? um, J.Schwartz. yeah.

so, basically Mac and PC's are the same. except i'm still getting a Mac. when i have enough money. which will hopefully be in the next month.



and Jason is a Mac guy. even if i just said he was the PC guy. i don't know what i was talking about. i also love this picture. i like to think that he's so laid back, he records his Coconut Records songs in his pajamas. ooo so dreamy.

anyways.

so, we're letting the baby schedule our night tonight. he's been eating more formula, more often. and he wasn't hungry at the scheduled feeding time. so, we're gonna wait until he wakes up.

tonight me and Courtney were hanging out with the three girls and one of them said,

RESIDENT 1: Ok, I'm going to say something specifically about Julie and Courtney. So, we all think that you guys are super cool, laid back and bubbly. BUT, I think that you guys would be SCARY if you got really mad. (and she started like, punching her fists together) I bet you guys could totally beat someone down if you wanted to.
JULIE: Do you mean physically beat down? Or, beat down with our verbal skills?
RESIDENT 1: Like, street fighting.
JULIE: I don't have much street cred.
COURTNEY: Yeah...not so much.
RESIDENT 1: Well, I would totally not want to get in a fight with either of you because I bet you have split-personality and would totally turn on someone.

me and Courtney were just laughing. and then another girl made me try this ice cream, milk, and strawberry Nesquik drink she invented. it was good.

it was fun hanging out with them.

but man, i wish i had more nights off. well, i do, actually. since i'm doing so much work overnight, i earn more nights off. but, i feel bad taking nights off because if i do, then that means that someone else will just have to do it. and i'd rather i do it than anyone else.

i can hear Ruby Tuesday eating her dry food in the kitchen! she must have just woken up. she was sleepers on my bed.

anyways. maybe i'll take some more nights off.

so, i'm redownloading iTunes again so i can use it. hopefully. because i really like that song from VM and i want it on my iPod. i also need to create a new playlist. i'm going insane. i have a great playlist right now, except it's missing this Rooney song that i really love. and i haven't been able to update it!!!

i tried tricking the computer and hooking up my ipod to see if that would make itunes open. but, nothing happened.

i Netflixed the Rooney dvd. Spit and Sweat. it was pretty good. it was a concert they did in LA a few years ago. but, the concert was at the very end of a 2-year headlining tour. and, you could totally tell that Robert was losing his voice. so that was a bummer. but, the behind the scenes stuff was awesome. they are so funny. can't wait to see Matt Winter live and in person. OH i love him.

Ruby is now sleeping on my lap.

2:49am. sunday morning.

i'm working today 3:30-10pm. aka 3:30pm-8am. and then i have monday offff!!!!!!!! 8am to 10pm is ALL MINE!!!! i hope it's an easy breezy day.

i think i'm going to buy new headphones. remember my headphone saga? the week after my speaker saga? well, i'm not very happy with the headphones i bought. i thought they were going to be cool, but they're not. they are not comfortable and they don't stay on my ears. and it irratates my earring.

ITUNES!!!!! YES!!!!!! we're in business for the time being. now if i never shut off my computer, itunes will always be open!!!!!! and if i also never shut off my computer, it will overheat and probably start a fire!!!!! so, i won't do that.

ok. i have purchased the required songs needed for my happiness. they included:

1. Lost and Found, Adrienne Pierce
2. I Hear the Bells, Mike Doughty
3. The Chain, Ingrid Michaelson

i think it's a good selection. and i will upload them to my ipod and it will be like nothing is even wrong!!!

please note:: 'i hear the bells' is DIFFERENT than 'i can hear the bells' from the musical Hairspray. although, that's a great song too.

the 'not-hairspray' version played during the "alterna-prom" on Veronica Mars. another perfect Veronica/Logan moment.

now Ruby is sleeping on the floor under my coffee table.

so, it's 4:08am. just got back from a baby feeding. he started crying in the middle of my new-playlist-making. it's a good playlist. i called it, "had any good scones lately?" i love naming playlists.

phew. ipod is updated.

ok. i think i might go to bed now. although, i'm pretty awake. not sure if i'll be able to sleep.

today David is flying to Mexico! i hope he has a lovely safe flight and a great week there.

ok. 4:17am. i guess it's time for bed.

goodnight room. goodnight moon. goodnight cow jumping over the moon. goodnight light and the red balloon. goodnight kittens. goodnight mittens. goodnight brush. goodnight iTunes. goodnight mush. goodnight old lady whispering 'hush.' goodnight stars. goodnight air. goodnight noises everywhere.

(abbreviated version.) i read that story twice the other day. followed by The Runaway Bunny. the best part of Goodnight Moon is the old lady whispering 'hush.' because, when i would say 'hush,' i would whisper it into the little girl's ear, and then she would whisper it too. it was super cute.

ok! 4:25am. go to bed julie!!!!!! this is another night where i have to force myself. oohhhh i'm going to be tired tomorrow afternoon for work.

ok. i'm really going to bed now. me and Ruby had a fight. i got mad at her for attacking my hand and my legs repeatedly. and then she got even more excited and mad. and i pushed her away and she rolled over and then left the room. i hate when she gets into these violent moods.

ok. for real now. goodnight friends. have a lovely sunday. i hope you are able to stay home all day and never get out of your pajamas.

love you!!!!

consider me destroyed

so, my computer is basically dead. not dead, but useless. NOTHING, nothing, except the internet is working. and i don't even know why that is working. it doesn't make sense. but, i am pretty thankful for it.

i can't open any programs. i can open "computer stuff" like my documents, etc. but, everything else. paint program. word. aim. itunes. alllll my anti virus programs. my dvd player. realplayer. NADA! everything is shot.

something must have gotten deleted or screwed up during the last virus invasion. something right must have gotten wronged. ya know?

and now! the best part is, when my good friend Windows Police Pro comes to visit me again, i won't be prepared. i'll be defenseless!

to quote Jordin Sparks, "i'm out here without a shield!"

why does this computer have to be like a battlefield?

today i just got so fed up with it. with EVERYTHING computer related. i have tried and tried and tried to save this computer tine after time after time. i have stayed up with it well into the night running virus scan after virus scan trying to make it better. i have upgraded memory when it was getting too slow. i have gotten it a hard drive when it died. new battery cord when it became frayed. replaced the motherboard when it was sick.

ok, so i never got it the cooling pad. i'm sorry. i meant to and meant to. i just didn't ever want to spend the $19.99 and I'M SORRY! okay, i'm sorry.

i'm just sad that this is the way it has to go. defeated by virus. broken and battered.

but, i am seriously puzzled as to why Firefox is opening. the link on the desktop is shot, so i have to open it by going to the start menu. but, that's no prob. i have no idea why that did not get destroyed in the recent attack.

so, it is a good thing i am picking up a zillion hours a week at work, because i will need a computer much sooner than later.

and - let me tell you - my next computer will be so freaking nice, it will put all other computers to shame. i will have the Titanic of computers. (meaning, greatness. not sinking.) ok, maybe i should say, 'i will have the Kate and Leo of computers.' i'm sorry, i think i deserve it. i don't feel that way very often.

1. i deserved to see Hanson the day my div 3 was due
2. i will deserve a few days off in the upcoming weeks
3. i deserve a nice computer after dealing with this one

and tonight, i watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy, and i heard a song that i liked. and i thought, "oh, i'll download it!" so, i looked up the song to find out what it was. and then went to go open iTunes to download it. oh yeah, itunes doesn't work. then, i went to open Frostwire (illegal downloading which i try to stay away from...). oh yeah, that doesn't work either. ok, so i'll find the song somewhere online and use my sound capture program to get it that way. hmm...that doesn't work either.

and earlier today i thought, "omg i have to update this playlist on my ipod!" but i can't, because again, i can't get into itunes!!!

it worked last night, yeah. but i'm not going to redownload it every time i want it to work. that'd be like, everyday.

UGH! so frustrating!!!

the problem it says is: [insert program name here].exe is not a valid Win32 application.

THAT'S the error message that i get for everything. and like the other night when i redownloaded itunes, i went to go install it and it was like, "what program should we use to open this file?" and i was like, "umm.....itunes?" and it worked.

but today, when i was trying to download a free dvd player (to get the VM screencaps) it said,

COMPUTER: What program should we use to open this file?
JULIE: Umm.....itunes.....?
COMPUTER: Nope, sorry.
JULIE: Ummm.....windows media player?
COMPUTER: Not this time.
JULIE: Realplayer?
COMPUTER: Try again!
JULIE: .........?
COMPUTER: You lose.

and i lost the game. my house was stormed with elephants and dinosaurs. just like in Jumanji. i don't think there were any dinosaurs in that movie. that's just what it felt like.

anyways. YOU are in luck because i can still blog. i guess that's all that matters. :)

so, currently, it's 3:23am. thursday morning. thursday i am working 1:30pm until 8am on friday. and then another day off!!!!!

today on Celebrity Baby Blog there was an article on Sarah Jane Morris, from the tv show Brothers and Sisters. more importantly, she is married to Ned, the drummer from Rooney. and they are expecting a baby (boy?) in January. and the article was all about how perfectly eco-friendly she is. it made me really jealous. her and Ned drive a grease car. i'm really jealous of that. she was on Jimmy Kimmel once and told this really funny story of her and Ned stealing vegetable oil from restaurants in the middle of the night.

anyways. my point is, their baby is due in January. and KARA AND I are going to see Rooney on 13 December. this makes me nervous. Dear Baby: PLEASE do not come before the concert!!! Maybe this is being selfish. BUT PLEASE, just stay in there where it's nice and warm and dark and better. And stay healthy until your due date. Ok, thanks. Bye.

also, she is beautiful. and so is Ned. and i love his curly hair.

ok.

3:30am. i should go to bed. but, i just have to get up in half an hour. is there a point? ugh, i don't know.

this baby has been destroying his bottles. at his 10pm feeding, he ate 2oz in like, less than 10 minutes. and i even said to his mom, "wow, he is killing that bottle!"

and then his mom was all concerned because she is worried that he won't be able to defend himself when he gets into fist fights. and so i said, "well, hopefully he will never be in a situation where he will need to fight back like that." and she looked at me like i had 4 heads and purple eyes.

i try my best.

that baby is so beautiful. he's got a full head of blonde hair. so cute. and i saw pictures tonight from his first bath.

ok, you know what i love about babies?? aside from like, most things. i love when they are sucking on pacifiers. it is the cutest thing. especially when they are asleep. and it starts to fall out of their mouths, and then they realize it, and it shoots back in. it's like, instant smile. it's so cute.

i can't imagine sucking on a pacifier. like, it's supposed to be so soothing. but i would think it would just be distracting. like, how can you focus on falling asleep when you also have to focus on keeping this thing in your mouth? i don't get it. my mom tells me that i never used a pacifier. i guess even as a baby i was confused about these things.

ok. 3:42am. maybe i should lie down for 10 minutes. is that smart?

this morning i went back to sleep at 7:45am. and i didn't shut off the phone, because i was technically still working until 8am. and then i woke up at 9:39 because someone called. and so i immediately got up and unplugged the cord. and then at 10:45 we had a fire drill.

OH i was not happy about that. i was sleeping. and i didn't like it even more because today was supposed to be my day off, but I STILL had to go outside and see everybody. in my pajamas and slippers, no less. it was the worst.

not that i totally care about being woken up. i mean, i was up all night working, they weren't. i have reason to sleep during the day. i just didn't want to see anybody! ugh that's the worst. i really need an invisibility cloak.

ugh i hate fire drills. and this one is sooooo effing loud. it's like a steamship is blowing it's horn right in one ear, while someone is holding a jackhammer up to the other. it's the worst.

and they never happen in the afternoon or evening. ALWAYS in the morning. ALWAYS while i'm sleeping.

ok. i have been complaining a lot in this entry. and i'm sure you don't want to listen to it.

it's 3:49am. i should feed Miss Tuesday before i go downstairs for a feeding.

i washed my hair again today and twisted it up into a bun. hopefully i will have sexy hair again on thursday.

i am taking the baby girls to their doctor's appointments in the afternoon. that's why i have to go into work early. Courtney is taking someone else to an appointment, and so is another staff.

3:51am. hopefully in an hour i will be in bed. unless he kills the bottle in 5 minutes again.

ok! hope you have a wonderful thursday!! 30 Rock is on tonight! set your tv recording devices! or, whatever. or, if you're like me, you'll have to suffer until friday when it's online!!! alright!

oh, i wanted to post this video. it's mainly for my mom. she loves it when unlikely animals take care of each other. in this case, it's a tiny dog and a cat that fall in love with each other. Darren posted it in his blog and i wanted to show you all.

ok! for real now, GOODNIGHT! one thousand times goodnight.

VERONICA MARS STOLE MY TEAL JACKET

you have no idea how hard this is to write.

for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the teal jacket saga, let me give you a brief recap:


i had this teal jacket from the Gap. it was the best jacket ever. not only was it the best jacket ever, but it was my absolute favorite thing i have ever owned in my life. i so freaking loved that jacket. notice how i am using past tense.

one day, i had the jacket draped over my bag and i was walking to my mom's car, parked at Hampshire College. 20 minutes later, once we have reached our destination, i get out of the car and the jacket is gone.

we back track to Hampshire College. search the parking lot. no jacket. no jacket in the lost and found at pub safety. no jacket anywhere.

i posted the lost jacket online to see if anyone picked it up. nothing. i went to pub safety every day asking them if anyone turned it in. nothing.

and i never saw the teal jacket again.

UNTIL.

kerianne and i were watching Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium one night. starring Dusty Hoffman and Nat Port. Nat Port enters a scene, and what is she wearing.....MY TEAL JACKET.

NAT PORT STOLE IT!!!!!

i still hold this against her.

and then, just the other night, i was watching episode PLAN B of Veronica Mars, season 2. Veronica is sitting in class in the beginning of the episode wearing a familiar jacket. MY FAMILIAR JACKET!!!!!!

(so, here's the deal with these pictures...since my computer can no longer open any programs, i am (really) not able to play the dvd in the disc drive. so, i cannot get good quality screencaps. what i did instead, was play the dvd on my tv, and photograph it. i think veronica would agree that it was pretty good detective work.)









Veronica and Eli, the "tough guy with a heart" leader of Neptune's biker gang.


that's the reflection of my lamp in Veronica's hair.


Veronica and Logan, the son of a famous movie star-turned murderer. (i'm rooting for VM and Logan.)


VM and Logan again. AND, in this episode, there was totally a Rushmore reference. did anyone else notice it? at the very beginning, they announce that Logan has won an internship in Mayor Steve Guttenburg's Office, and they cut to Logan and he's reading a newspaper. he looks up and says, "did someone say my name?" which, is the opening scene of Rushmore. how they introduce Max Fisher.




AND THEN! if wearing the teal jacket just wasn't enough, she HAD to go meet up with her ex-boyfriend, Leo. the one who i am in love with. the super gorgeous ex-police officer, current security guard.


they just had to meet for coffee. i guess if you want to make your ex-boyfriend jealous by wearing something super hott, the teal jacket is the way to go.




whoops, how did that one get in there......


she looks so innocent.


and there you have it. Veronica Mars stole my teal jacket. i'm still in shock.

and at the end of my 'nat port stole my teal jacket' entry, i posted some pictures of other things that Nat Port had stolen from me. they included Gael Garcia Bernal.

and now, i will post some pictures of other things Kristin Bell has stolen from me on tv shows.










yep. she got to make out with Zachary Quinto A LOT on Heroes. and it was super sexy. first the jacket, and then Zesty Queso.

but, how can you hate on KBell?? she's so cute and funny.

oh, i can't hate on KBell.


this whole thing really just makes me realize how freaking trendy i am. i mean, the teal jacket was featured in movies and on television. pretty much, this means that i am super stylish and should be famous asap.

wow. now i feel sad. those teal jacket pictures just brings back so many memories of the better days.

ok. i have to take a break. i am going out. it's currently 7:21pm. i never went to the post office today. i just wanted to sit around. is that so bad? i don't think so.

but, now i have things to do.

have a good night. i will try.

lallygagging

hey there. how's it? things here are good. i had a sneeze attack earlier tonight. but, it's over. it wasn't fun.

i'm excited because tomorrow is a day off! meaning, from 8am until 10pm i am not working! this is good news, always. especially after a long day of work. like today!

i worked until 8:15am. then slept until 12:30pm. yes, i know what you're thinking, "but julie, didn't you have staff meeting at 12:30pm?" and the answer is yes, yes i did. i set my alarm for 11:20am. hit snooze until around 12:15. then fell back to sleep. Ruby Tuesday woke me up by licking my face around 12:30. and then i woke up, got dressed, ate a yogurt, and went to staff meeting for 1pm.

it wasn't a problem.

oh!! i know how much you love it when i talk about how awesome my hair looks. so, let's get going! i washed my hair on monday afternoon and while it was still wet, twisted it up into a bun. it's long enough now that i don't even need a hair elastic! and then i left it there allll day and allll night until tuesday afternoon. then i took it out and it was all curly and pretty! it looked like i had used a curling iron!!! but no! then i threw in my yellow headband. i was pretty trendy today.

but then i thought, "uh oh, i hope my coworkers don't think i was late because i was curling my hair." yeah, it looked THAT good.

so, i got my iTunes to work. remember how none of my programs are working since i got my latest virus?? well, i decided the only one i really care about is iTunes. so, i had to redownload it. i think the problem is that the programs can't find the program to open them with. does that make sense?

it's like, the guests all showed up at the house, but no one can find the door.

hey wow. that kind of rocked. still creative at 2am. that's me! ok, technically it's 1:59am.

so, i don't know what's going on with the rest of the computer. i've got my new one all picked out.

tonight was an exciting night. i bought me and kara our Rooney tickets!!!!! 13 december at The Middle East in Cambridge!!! meet and greet after the show??? YOU BET. heck yeah we're staying. i BETTER find my Rooney t-shirt before that. omg the chance to MEET and GREET Rooney!?!?!?! that's like, ZERO DEGREES.

i'm super excited.

i wonder if Robert will remember me after our last intimate encounter.....

during one of the songs, he leaned forward with his mic and was right over the audience. and, he looked RIGHT AT ME, and raised his eyebrows. they stayed up for a second, and then he lowered them. RIGHT AT ME. at meeee!!!! seriously, i think a part of me actually died. but like, i didn't even realize it at first. like, while it was happening. it was like my entire body froze. and i couldn't do anything. except stare back at him. and like, i remembered it right after it happened. and then i forgot about it. because, it was so amazing. i remembered it on the way home. and i flipped out in the car. HE LOVES ME.

yep. our intimate moment. that we shared like, 4 years ago. awesome.

anyways. tonight's episode of Veronica Mars was a bit scary. she was having these crazy dreams about all the students who died in this big bus crash at the beginning of season 2. and, she was supposed to be on the bus that crashed, but at the last minute, missed it, and got a ride from someone else. and in her dreams she was on the bus talking to everyone, getting clues on how to solve what really happened.

it was just scary.

BUT. i have some horrible Veronica Mars news. i can't share it with you tonight because i don't have proof yet. proof = screencaps. which i will get tomorrow. but, it's horrible. horrible news. i cried. ok, i'm embarrassed to admit that. but, i did. just be prepared. this news may shock you. it may rattle your soul and make your skin crawl. so, just be prepared. i was quite shocked. and now i can't stop thinking about it.

that's all i will say for now. i will post wednesday. i need to prepare myself. i haven't even said it out loud yet. not yet. tomorrow.

ok. i have no idea what you're thinking right now. but, it's probably not what i'm thinking. therefore, this bad, horrible news, probably won't be as bad and horrible to you as it is to me.

END. enough talking about it. you will have to wait and see.

i made a chocolate cake tonight. so what! who cares?! i just wanted to. and i made it from scratch and used the new baking pan my mom got for me. it worked awesome!!

but Ruby Tuesday was soooo curious as to what i was doing!!! she was just sitting on the floor looking up at me while i was mixing everything together. so, i brought over a chair to the counter and put her on it. so she could see what i was doing better. and she sat there for a while being very interested. and then she went and got her leopard print toy. and brought it into the kitchen. and then jumped into the cabinet.

she's the cutest thing ever.

oh! speaking of cutest things ever.

tonight at work i was in the staff office and then i hear, "JULIE!!" from outside the door. and i open the door and the resident with the two little girls standing there, a girl in each arm, and one of them is screaming. she says, "can you help me?" um, duh! they are the sweetest girls ever.

so, i took the 8 month old while she fed the 17 month old. and then everybody calmed down. but then she asked me to feed the 8 month old her bottle and try and rock her to sleep while she tried to put the 17 month old to sleep.

so, i went into the living room with the baby and the bottle and sat down in the comfy rocking chair. and i rocked the baby girl and fed her the bottle. and after about 15 minutes she fell asleep. her mom had more trouble than expected getting her big sister to sleep, so i ended up sitting and rocking her for about an hour. which was fine. of course i didn't mind.

so sweet.

and then! i got to leave work at 8:30 and come home, which was nice. a lot. because i had a chance to do some things instead of ending work and then immediately starting again.

my favorite Hanson song just came on my shuffle. Georgia. that song is seriously the best.

speaking of awesome songs by bands with three gorgeous brothers...... ummm..... so in this bonus episode of Jonas on the disc i got, there was an episode that was about Kevin being in love with the president of the Scandinavian Jonas Brothers Fan Club. and he sang a song about it. KEVIN SANG a SONG. kevin jonas. the one who never sings any songs. i had never heard his singing voice until this episode.

and let me tell you: he should be singing all the songs. he's got the best voice out of the three of them. WAY WAY 100% than Nick. and the song, 'i left my heart in scandinavia' is super cute.

oh, i'll just post the video for you to watch. no big deal. but you should watch it and marvel at Kevin's singing. and then ponder the question, "why doesn't kevin sing more?" well, because then Joe would have nothing to do. he'd be as useful as The Frankster. (frankie jonas.....they're little brother.)

did i talk about the horrible (awesome) Zooey Deschanel Cotton commerical that's running on NBC.com?? ugh. i was thinking about it again the other day. UGH. Zooey. she's too cute. and her clothes are too perfectly vintage. she just got married to the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie. that's right, right? yes. i believe so.

speaking of clothes. i need a new pair of Gap lounge pants. my black ones that i have all of a sudden have like, a million holes in them. i mean, i can still wear them. but, they have holes everywhere. it's weird. man i love these pants. i'm wearing them right now. they are so freaking comfortable.

i got a Gap email yesterday that was like, 'bring this email into a gap store and you will recieve a coupon for either 5, 15, 25, or 50 percent off!!' i was excited, but i doubt i'll use it. plus, i don't have a working printer.

ugh. i just want to stay home all day tomorrow. meaning wednesday. but i have to go to the post office. and i have to get dressed because....WHAT IF i see the ruggedly handsome postal worker?!?! i haven't seen him in a couple weeks.

man. i'm getting tired. it's 2:42am. i suppose i could get into bed. last night i didn't fall asleep until around 3:20am. then had to get up again at 4am.

my mom and kara are having a mother-daughter day today. i'm jealous. i wish i could be at home.

i'm thinking of maybe seeing Where the Wild Things Are tonight. it's playing at the nice theater in Hanover. it's between that one, and Capitalism: A Love Story. the michael moore film. but, going out to the movies would not be staying home all day. and i might just do that.

OH! i have to take out my air conditioners today. i'm going to do it. and i will not drop them out onto the street!!!!

OK!!! i think i've said everything for now. i posted the Kevin video. that was the main thing.

have a great wednesday. um, it's the 21st day of october!!! i can't believe it. today on my notebook for staff meeting, i wrote, 20 September. and then i was like, "what?" then i switched it.

hey!!! Mmmbop just came on!!!!! ALRIGHT!!!! not the CD/radio version. the totes awesome one from the Hanson: Live and Electric cd that i have!!!!! it's sooo good!!!

OH!! i know what else i wanted to tell you about.

so, on monday i was standing in the check-out line at the grocery store and i was glancing into the drink cooler case at the end of the lane, and i saw that Dasani had a Lime flavored water in a semi-fancy bottle. this intrigued me. so i bought it! and it was delish! not too limey, but not too watery. i enjoyed it.

and i was drinking it and i thought of the time i asked for a lime flavor shot in my hot cocoa at Rao's in Amherst. lime and chocolate!

ok. now that's really it. have a great day! i'll post later with my horrible news. :)

people of the floor

that sounds like a scary halloween costume. "i'm going as a floor person."

anyways. there's a guy here from Home Deport measuring for new carpet. it's 12:54pm. i've been awake for them since 11:30am!!!! they said they would come between 12-1.

so, i went to sleep around 3:20am.
woke up at 4am.
went to sleep at 5am.
woke up at 7am.
went to sleep at 8:15am.
woke up at 11:30am

and i'm still up now. what a crazy schedule! but this morning, it was horrible. so, so horrible. i got back into bed at 7:45am. and i hadn't been laying down for 5 minutes when i heard a big truck.

i assumed it was a truck coming for The Little Store. because we just got our government food recently, it seemed.

but the truck got closer and closer and closer until it was right outside the house. and i said to myself, "you've got to be kidding me" and i jumped out of bed and went to the window and sure freaking enough, it was the huge truck with the government food.

coming to deliver at 7:45am. and it's my job to unload the truck, carry in the huge heavy boxes, and unpack the boxes. ugh it's the worst.

luckily, this time there were only 3 boxes. a box of pears. a box of carrots. and a box with many, many bags of mozzarella sticks. i was excited about the last one because we've never gotten that before. thanks, government!!!

i am definitely going to take some pears.

anyways, i was mad the truck came. i am also mad that the truck always comes before 8am. like, why?? can't they come later? when it's not so cold outside? when you're more awake to carry huge boxes of food around? when i'm not working!?!

anyways. then it took me a while to fall back to sleep because i was so awake.

UGH it's already 1pm. this is when i should be waking up! now it's like, too late to sleep for a long time and still go to the post office. i should go do all my errands now, and then come back and take a nap.

UGH but i want to sleep more now!! i'm pretty excited that i have a disc of Veronica Mars and a disc of Jonas waiting for me at the post office.

OH! there was a girl from Veronica Mars on Heroes! she played the disappearing sorority girl who was trying to get Claire to join. and i was watching the show, and there was some line about Claire's mom being in a sorority and i immediately thought of Veronica's mom and not Claire's mom.

which is STILL FUNNY, because Kristin Bell, who plays VM, was on Heroes as Elle who got to make out with Sylar in lots of really sexy, steamy scenes.

phew. ok the guy's gone. ok, it's 1:09pm.

should i sleep? or should i errand? i will sleep. the post office is open until 5. i am tired a lot.


ok. have a great day. i will talk to you later!

aaannndddd.... WHOA!!

holy man. i just watched two episodes of Heroes. AAHHH!! the episode from two weeks ago was SO GOOD! THE LAST SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!! holy man. so freaking good. and then i watched the episode from last week. still so good! i wonder what's gonna happen. it's on again tonight (monday), and it will be up on Netflix to instantly watch on wednesday. can't wait! ZQ! what a hottie!

anyways, the real reason i wanted to blog right now very quickly is this:

my old friend Windows Police Pro Virus came to visit tonight, quite unexpected and most unwelcome. this time he was acting a bit different. i couldn't get him to stop making things pop up on my computer. even after i "ended his process." that usually works. but not tonight. so, finally, all the bad programs were removed from my computer, and i restarted it. for a clean slate.

and now, not everything is working. there aren't as many programs in the bar on the bottom. not all of my desktop links are working. things just seem funny. it's like, something's missing.

if i may, i would like to explain it using a Heroes reference.

my laptop is quite like Nathan Petrelli. he's there on the outside, but on the inside, i know there's a Sylar lurking. he's just not quite the same.

success! awesome Heroes metaphor.

anyways. so, something is wrong with the computer. i know it. i can feel it. good thing i've worked over 60 hours since last wednesday. more hours = more money = more expensive laptop.

alright. that's all for tonight. i have tomorrow off!!!! meaning, i am off from 8am until 10pm.

although, i have floor people coming. i thought they were coming on tuesday to measure for new carpet in my apartment. but, turns out they are coming tomorrow. between noon and 1pm. super early. not excited about that. also not excited to hear what they have to say about the furniture moving situation. i do not want to be a part of it at all.

anyways. floor people. then i have the day off. i have to go to the grocery store. and maybe to another store. i can't think of it right now.

i'll blog more on monday. i'm tired all of a sudden.

oh! i was able to watch Jim and Pam get married this morning whilst eating breakfast. yeah, totally cried my eyes out. a lot. so sweet. it was like an intense mix of crying and laughing. it was just so happy.

okay! have a great monday. i can't believe it's monday. i have no idea what day it feels like. not monday, though.

talk to you later!!!

"i'm not good with anger, i go straight to depression."

i'm blogging it out. blog it out. blog it out. blog it out.

and breathe.

i know i am overtired. but i am not tired right now, and therefore cannot sleep. i almost just let this get the better of me.

it was between screaming and throwing my computer against a wall, or crying.

but i took control and blogged it out instead.

ALL i wanted to do in the little non-work time that i have today, was to watch Jim and Pam get married on The Office. that's all. a simple task, you may think. well not for my horrible, awful computer that never works.

ooooooooblogitoutooooooooo

NO. i will not break down over this. NOT over Jim and Pam. and their total cuteness.

i just wanted to relax and watch The Office. after working alllll day. a small inbetween work time that i have. i just wanted to watch them get married. but no. it's just too much for my little computer to take. i refreshed the page. i closed and opened firefox. twice. i restarted the computer. refreshed the page again. and it just cannot catch up with itself.

AND! the thing that DOES freaking work on NBC.com is the advertisement for Cotton with Zooey Deschanel. UGH. she's all cute and beautiful with her hair and her big eyes and her teal high heels and her awesome hipster vintage clothes. LAME. UGH I HATE HER BUT I'M SO JEALOUS.

ok i'm calm now.

let's think of it this way! it's currently 1:50am on sunday morning. from 2am sunday morning until 8am monday morning, i have 22.5 more hours of responsibility until i have a day off.

day off will probably = go to the post office. get disc of Jonas. watch said disc all day, on the couch, in my pajamas.


the other night i had a dream that i woke up and everything was covered in snow. it was really pretty.

i guess all this working has an upside. because the more hours i work, the closer i am to saving money to buy a new laptop, the closer i will be to watching Jim and Pam get married.

i'll probably watch it sooner than that. because no matter how much money i save, it will still probably take me months and months to get a new laptop.

WOW. i just complained a lot about my life in this entry. i am sorry. there are lots of people working in this world with jobs that suck way, way worse than my job, which tonight, consisted of rocking babies to sleep, feeding babies supper and making them laugh, and rocking babies to sleep some more.

i really shouldn't complain at all.

i should go to bed soon so that i can maybe wake up a bit earlier. if i wake up earlier, and sit down and have breakfast with myself, it feels like i have some time off. whereas this past week i have been waking up and immediately going to work.

tonight, Ruby Tuesday sneezed twice and they were the funniest sneezes ever. they were huge! she like, lifted up her head, opened her mouth, and then sneezed really big. twice in a row!!! i said, "oh my goodness god bless you!!!!"

it was very cute. it's also very cute when babies sneeze. this newborn baby has been sneezing a lot this week.

it's so weird for me to think about being a newborn baby. like, being born must be the most horrible thing to experience. it's probably a great thing that we can't remember it. it's all dark and warm and then suddenly it's so bright and there are all these people fussing over you and you have to do things like cry and sneeze, which you've never done before. and burp. and wake up every couple hours to eat. and have your diaper changed.

it's probably the most things we will ever experience in such a short amount of time.

this new baby is so handsome. and today he really started opening his eyes for long amounts of time. and i was rocking him tonight and he was just looking at me. he's so cute. he does this thing sometime where he'll just open up one eye. it's funny.

also tonight at work, i was feeding supper to the 18 month and 7 month old sisters (yes, both of them, at once!) and the 7 month old was getting cranky because she was so tired and she hasn't been feeling well this week. and her big sister started making this silly noise that just got her laughing and laughing. and then she tried to do it too! oh my god it was like the best thing ever. they are so cute with each other it's ridiculous. and then they were both just looking at each other and laughing. and then the 7 month old started crying again.

and also tonight at work, we were all sitting in the living room watching Elmopalooza and the 18 month old came over to me with a book again and stood in front of me and said, "sit on lap, please?" yeah. it's the best. but then she couldn't decide whether to read the book, or to watch Elmo.

it's a pretty good movie. i can't even tell you how many times i have seen Elmopalooza. probably 50 times in a year. Elmo is hosting this big celeb-filled event which Jon Stewart is hosting. but then! something goes wrong and Jon Stewart gets locked in his dressing room, along with the locksmith!!! (why there is a locksmith at Elmopalooza, i do not know.) so, he can't get out!

and David Alan Grier is the stage manager and he starts freaking out! and they have to find a way to keep the people happy while Jon is locked in the dressing room. so, they perform all these big musical numbers featuring En Vogue, Shawn Colvin, Jimmy Buffet, Rosie O'Donnell and Gloria Estefan.

but then!!! Elmo gets sad for some reason which is escaping me, and the only thing that will cheer him up is the song 'One Small Voice' by Kenny Loggins. BUT!!! the tape is also locked in the dressing room!!!!

SO!!!! in an 'edge of your seat' moment, Oscar the grouch gets out his pet worm and Burt pulls out a pepper shaker from his pants (questionable, i know) and Oscar makes the worm sneeze by sprinkling pepper on him. and the power of the worm's sneeze blows down the door.

and they are able to play One Small Voice and Elmo is happy yet again.

i mean, the whole film just screams OSCAR! and i mean the Academy Awards, NOT the grouch.

it's actally pretty funny, because Oscar the Grouch says,

OSCAR: Ok, does anyone have any pepper?
BURT: (pulls out the pepper shaker from his pants. everyone looks at him.) What? Nobody else carries around their own seasoning?

oh, burt. and YES, i just quoted Elmopalooza in this blog. if you thought the JoBros quotes were bad....

this was actually the second Elmo movie we watched tonight. we also watched Elmo in Grouchland. which has the classic song, 'C is for Cookie.' (that's good enough for me!)

yeah. i can't stand going to work. babies sit on my lap and we watch Elmo movies.

alright. i guess. 2:27am. i think i did a pretty good job of blogging it out. i feel better now. i'm going to go to bed.

at least Elmo is better than Winnie the Pooh. i do not care for that gang at all. i'm sorry if i offend any of you Pooh fans. i have never liked them. they are all creepers. why is a bear, a pig, and a donkey hanging out together in the first place? it just doesn't make any sense. and all their voices sound like old men. that is really creepy.

ok. 2:32am. i'm listening to Hanson right now. i can't go to bed now! i can't shut off the Hanson!!! Hanson was in Boston this past Wednesday. YEAH. I KNOW. they played the House of Blues. Taylor had the flu, but he still performed. trooper! Zac's birthday is coming up at the end of this month. i actually think he might have the same birthday as Matilda Ledger. she is turning 4. he is turning 24.

i took some very scientific online quizzes the other night. the first scientific quiz i took was called, "Which Jonas Brother Will You Marry?" turns out, i will marry Kevin. the one who is already engaged. engaged to who, you ask? um, definitely not me. so, that was depressing.

the second scientific quiz i took was called, "Which Jonas Brother's Song Are You?" now, at first i was a little confused, because, how can you be a song? but, i figured i would try it out. the strange workings of the quiz told me that i was the song, 'Hello Beautiful.' hey - it's science. i swear i did not rig the quiz. i had no cheats. SCIENCE. so, then i was happy because the Jonas Brothers told me i was beautiful.

so, yeah. 2:42am. i have to be up at 4am. i should go to bed now. last night i had to FORCE myself to go to bed.

i just hate going to bed and knowing that i have to wake up in an hour! but, i can't just stay awake because then i will be too tired for work!! UGH! i wish i could just stay awake until 8am. and then NOT have to work during the day. that schedule would work much better for me.

anyways. ok. JULIE GO TO BED.

ok. have a great sunday. you know what they say, sunday = funday. i am going to wake up semi-early. make coffee. have a nice breakfast. relax with Miss Tuesday. i will be calm and energized and ready to go take on three teenagers and three babies.

love to you. thanks for listening to me complain and then talk about totally random things. you are the best. for realz.


Tonight I'm gonna fly
Cause I could comb across the world
And see everything and never be satisfied
If I couldnt see those eyes
Hello Beautiful


(this is the song they wrote for me!!!)

aimless conversations about the better days


so, again, i will start off with an apology for not blogging more frequently after the internet returned.  i am so tired.  my eyes have been burning for the past two days.  i've been using my eye drops  A LOT, which i am afraid will make me go blind, or something because you're only supposed to use them twice a day.  every 12 hours.  but today i used them twice in like, fifteen minutes.  

anyways.  i'm blogging from work right now.  i'm downstairs in the staff office.  i'm kind of mad that i'm working right now.  just because there is another staff here working until 5 because there are volunteers painting bedrooms today.  and i thought that staff member would leave once i came in.  but, now we're both here.  and i have nothing to do because there is only 1 resident here right now.  and no babies.  so, i'm just like, "why am i here right now?  i could have come in at 3:30 and it would have been fine."  

i'm especially mad because i'm so tired, i guess.  

thursday night i was up 6 times during the night.  4 times with the new baby and 2 times for the other resident with the two baby girls.  

friday i had a day off.  i slept from 2:30am to 4am.  5am to 7am.  8am to 11am.  then i went to the post office.  came back home.  slept from 11:45am until 4pm.  

woke up at 4.  thought, "good thing i went to the post office earlier."  got up.  had cereal.  watched 30 Rock online.  Tina and Alec were just what i needed.

then i went to the grocery store to do the errands that i said i would do all week, and then ended up being too tired.  i bought yogurt which i am very excited about.

OH OH OH ALSO - i was browsing the fruit section trying to decide which kind of fruit to buy when i came upon the raspberries - 2 FOR $3.  UM, YES.  such a good deal.  normally they are like, 3.50 per container of raspberries.  so, i got 2.  and i ate half of it last night.  sooooo exciting and delicious.

i went to Rite Aid because they are usually the ones with my Tom's Orange Mango toothpaste.  but they didn't have it!  oh, i was upset by this.  i had to get peppermint.  the orange mango is the only toothpaste that does not burn my mouth like all the other toothpastes out there.  

i will have to go to the outlet when i am home the next time and stock up for realz.

i also bought more Burt's Bees shampoo at Rite Aid and was very excited to see that it came with a free lip gloss.  or, chap stick.  lip gloss is so much more appealing to say than chap stick.

then i came home and watched Away We Go.  aw, i really liked it.  i thought it was very sweet.  i was totally amazed by the dialogue in the beginning.  like, WOW.  it was so good i was in awe.  up until after they leave the parents house.  it's so good i couldn't believe it.  for serious.  it sounded soooo totally real.  

then i called my mom.  then i went to work.  

then, after being soooo tired and exhausted alll day - i finally woke up!  this was around 10pm.  which, is the usual time when i wake up.  i was kind of bummed though, because all day i had been thinking, "if i stay really tired like this, i'll be able to go to sleep early, so i'll sleep a lot and won't be tired for work tomorrow."  

yeah.....no.  that did not happen.  i didn't get to sleep until about 3:20am.  up at 4am.  slept from 5am to 7am.  up until 8am.  slept until 11:30.  hit snooze until 12:15.  got up.  talked to kara on the phone.  made coffee.  washed my hair.  got dressed.  grabbed a yogurt.  


OK.  things are starting to happen so i have to go.  i'll talk to you later, hopefully.  or, i'll be sleeping.  hopefully.  

nice talking to you all.  hope you are well and are having a great weekend!!!!!  

DAVID'S BIRTHDAY WAS YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!!!!  from all of us here at the blog.  we love you.  and i miss you.  we'll have to get together sooon!!!!!!


<3!

NON-PHONE BLOGGING!!!!

that's right! the internet is up and working again. i'm lounged on my couch, in my freezing living room, typing this. listening to baby lullabyes through the baby monitor. i've got 30-45 minutes before i have to be up and working again.

currently 12:30am. wednesday night/thursday morning.

last night i actually got a few hours of sleep while it was still dark out. i went to sleep after i posted that last entry. i think it was around 2:30am. woke up at 4am. went back to sleep at 5am. woke up at 7am. went back to sleep at 8am. slept until 1:30pm. that was nice.

i meant to go to the post office between the time i woke up and the time i had to start work. but i just didn't. i had cereal instead.

so, i was hanging around from 1:30-3:30pm. then went to work.

OH busy busy night. the mother of our two baby girls needed to go out for a few hours tonight, right in the middle of supper, bathtime, and bedtime. this meant that staff had to care for her babies.

i started feeding the 18 month old. she was eating some chicken noodle soup - mainly the noodles. she ate some at first, then she didn't want any more. but, she needed to eat more. so we played peek a boo for a while. then talked about the fish on her cup and what colors they were. and then i said, "okay, four more bites!" and i fed her. i think i actually got in like, probably 8 bites. she didn't even know.

then i cleaned up her tray and wiped her hands and face. then we went and sat in the living room. i sat down in the rocking chair and she brought over a book and said,

TODDLER: Here you go.
JULIE: Oh, thanks!
TODDLER: Sit on lap, please?
JULIE: Sure!

so, i brought her up to my lap and read her the book. once the book was over, she got down, went and got another book, "sit on lap, please?", and we read another book. this continued for about half an hour. we read a lot of books.

and then her 7 month old sister woke up and we decided it was bathtime. so, me and our intern brought them into the bathroom and gave them a bath. it was exciting. they had lots of toys. lots of rubber ducks. and they loved splashing. it was so cute.

then, we got their pjs on and went into the living room again. we turned off the lights and put on a Winnie the Pooh movie. (it's the one where Rabbit ruins Easter for Roo. but then something happens and they have a big happy easter egg hunt. i've seen it like, 8 times in the past week.)

so, i climbed into the recliner and the little girl stood in front of me. "sit on lap, please?" um, duh. so, i brought her up to sit on my lap and wrapped us in a blanket. and we cuddled until she was ready to be put in her crib.

it was awesome. she is such a sweetie.

but, it was a crazy night.

i came home at 10pm. by 10:13 i was back at work. until 11:20. then i came home again. quickly got into my pajamas. quickly made something to eat. by now it's midnight. then i got all ready. sat on my couch. watched an episode of Jonas and ate.

allllllll week without internet i have just wanted to watch Jonas. oh, so good. tonight Kevin, Joe and Nick auditioned to be in The Three Musketeers at their school. and they all got the parts because the drama teacher is the teacher who loves The Jonas Brothers. she's hilarious in the 'Detention' episode. but then Joe gets too nervous and can't perform UNTIL he realizes that his love interest in the play is the girl who he has a crush on in real life. then he runs to the stage during the performance and steals the kiss (on the cheek because it's Disney). it was cute.

best quote from the show:

KEVIN, JOE, NICK: All for one, and one for all!!!
KEVIN: And a leather pouch for my turkey leg!!

it makes no sense out of context, but i laughed really hard. it was a good episode.


so, LAST night (tuesday night) was also crazy. i worked until 10:30pm. came home. had to go back down to work at 10:45 and stayed there until 12:30. UGH. i was so tired and hungry.

then at 12:30 i started to do some things around the house that i needed to do. then i ate a bowl of cereal for supper. then i started phone-blogging and then i had to go back to work.

one more 3:30-10pm shift and then i have a day off. i'm not working friday between 8am and 10pm, so that makes me very happy. then i'm working both weekend days. yikes.

i can't wait to tell you all about our time in the hospital last weekend. i'm going to do a good update, i promise. i'm so happy i have internet back.

and i have to go to the post office. hopefully thursday afternoon before work i will have time.

after our next feeding i'm going to bed. he'll have to eat within the next 15 minutes because that will be 3 hours. hopefully i'll back back home by 2:15am. all ready and in bed by 2:45am. and then up again around 5:30am. or so.

i think i just heard a little whimper.

he's waking up for food. and i am sneezing and stuffy.

awww baby sneeze!

ok. i have to go. baby time. i'll talk to you all thursday sometime.

i'll try to get better about blogging during this new baby time. it's just that, sometimes i can't even find time to sit down and eat. i'll try harder. love you all.

goodnight!!!!
