I've been loving making new friends - hi new friends! :)

I started this blog to keep in touch with a bunch of friends, and it's evolved into my sanity keeper really. :) I'm not a big social butterfly locally, so this is the best way for me to 'talk' to all my friends and meet new people.

The only 'players' in my blog are probably me, my dogs, and my boyfriend K, whom I've been dating since May 08. Sometimes I write about my family - mom, who's my best friend (don't tell her!) and we do lots together; dad, whom I got my sense of humor and bluntness from; and younger brother, who's a graphic artist. Most of my friends aren't physically near me, they're all over the place, so I don't see them enough to write about them. Since many of them here on LJ, I write to them. :)

TWoP: The Smurfs: We Cast the Live-Action Movie

When I saw in EW that The State was finally coming out on DVD, I squealed like the little fangirl that I am. And then I saw it was playing on MTV2 almost at that same moment, and I squealed again and changed the channel to watch a couple eps. I remembered which ones I had fangirl crushes on *giggles*. I set a season pass on my TiVo so I could first see if it was as funny as I remember it being back in the day, sort of a litmus test to see if I want to splurge on the DVD. I'll probably buy it anyways, just to put next to my KITH and Mr Show DVDs that I still have to finish watching.

Yes, I was a 90s sketch comedy fangirl.

I was reminiscing hardcore on Sunday when K and I were listening to Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet this weekend (they did the Kids in the Hall theme song). Man, was I a HUGE Kids in the Hall fangirl. I had (still have) t-shirts; was on KITH Usenet boards (old skewl! har har har); dug up all the KITH-related merch I could find (Paul Bellini and Bruce McC's cd, The Wrong Guy, Scott Thompson's Buddy book, etc.); taped all the eps off tv (I still have all those tapes too, heh); saw Brain Candy in a theater 45 min away from college cause that's as close as it was playing; and had at least two Halloween costumes based on KITH characters - Hecubus and one of the Sizzler Twins ("We are not two clearly insane people" - yes, where I got my LJ title from). I saw them live with painkillerjane in DC in 1999 and I swore I could die happy after that show. It was awesome I stocked up on merchandise at that show too, heh.

Ah, happy memories! I don't know if it's good or bad that I don't go all that obsessive fangirl on anything these days. (Ok, maybe Chuck and Editors.)

Big Brother is my summer guilty pleasure, but the only reason I can actually stand it for more than a week - Hamster Time. (p.s. Go nerds and tattooed lady!) (p.p.s. Stupidest twist thing EVER. Cliques are fucking idiotic. GAH. STUPID.)

My dad called tonight; he just got back from visiting family in NY. He brought back half moons, real Parmesan cheese from Italian groceries, and tomato pie. YUM.

I bought Breyer's Fried Ice Cream. It is delicious and I can't stop eating it.

Shakespeare would totally do this for me! I hope....

All my dog friends and those that live in Iowa (I know at least one of you does), please spread the word about a lost Corgi:

Sam is a pembroke welsh corgie who lives in Minnesota but was visiting near Des Moines, Iowa, and he went missing yesterday near 8 pm! He is super friendly, so he may have gone with someone willingly, but he is desperately missed by his mommy and fursibs. Here is his dogster page:

It's a beautiful day, the sun is out, there's a lovely breeze, and birds are chirping. Yay today! Kevin and I are taking the pups to the dog park in a few (he's doing his hair, hee hee). The pups haven't been to the park in weeks, between Shakey's injury and my vacation. They're gonna go crazy. LOL

Happy Friday everyone! :)

Seriously! Look at the transformation in sweet Faith!

It's storming out and the lights are flickering, I should probably shut down huh?

The video's also funny. :)

My dad signed up for Facebook last night. First my mom a few months ago, now my dad. Just wanted to let you know why the world might be ending soon. *g* I guess I should at least send him a friend invite or something. *g*
