Oh my god Oh My God OHMIGOD!!!!!!!! Okay… I love ER, and I don’t know if you watched it tonight or not, but if you didn’t, I’m going to tell you what happened. Okay, last season, Dr. Romano (major a-hole) got his arm chopped off by a helicopter. Ironically, that’s the last debut episode I’ve watched because it really grossed me out. I’ve seen a few after that on TNT reruns. His arm was reattached, and recently, there was something wrong with it and he had to get it removed, and has a prosthetic arm. Tonight, I had to watch the new one because on the preview, there’s some kind of explosion. So it’s about halfway through the episode, and nothing much has happened. Then Dr. Romano has to take something to the helipad, and I’m guessing he hasn’t gone up there since the accident, because he’s really nervous about it, and as the doors open on the roof he looks really scared and has a flashback. But he’s fine, he comes back down to the ER, and catches one of the med students smoking weed outside the ambulance bay. Little does he know, the helicopter takes off on the roof, but there’s a sudden wind spurt and it spins out of control, first taking out one of the nurses on the roof (my girl from Bend it Like Beckham was okay! Yay!) and then crashing/bouncing off the floor Luka just went to, causing fiery explosions. Then… THEN… poor guy thinks he’s safe from the scary helicopter!!! I mean I know he’s a jerk but this was just cruel!! The freaking helicopter crash lands on Dr. Romano in the ambulance bay!! He notices fireballs of shrapnel falling and looks up, and his last word was an anguished “Noo!!” as he ducks from his inevitable doom. So… sad… And the worst part is, they don’t even know yet. At the end of the episode, a lot of people are wondering where he ran off to, and the last scene is the firefighters lifting the helicopter and looking at the rubble underneath. That’s just terrible. They’re probably going to find pieces of the prosthetic arm or something. sigh I am just way too into this show. And the next episode isn’t until the Thursday AFTER Thanksgiving. Arg.

Anyway, on a more realistic note, I can’t decide if I like my job at Taste of Italy or not. The money’s pretty good, and for the most part, I like the people. But I have this thing about always wanting to please people, and of course you can’t do that, especially in a restaurant, because things go wrong all the time. The job itself is easier than I thought it would be, but I think the stress of it is getting to me. I’m probably being too hard on myself, but… ah well. I’m taking the U.S. Postal Battery Exam on Dec. 11th. It IS in Poteau, but for that much money and a government job, I would so move to Poteau. Stop crying… I would come back for the weekends. 🙂 But anyway, if I even do get a postal job, it wouldn’t be for a while, as slow as the government is. I’m thinking of looking for a full-time job. I’m just confused.

Anyway, I better get some sleep. Night, everyone!

So tired. Just ate a whole Smoky Cheddar Patty Melt from Sonic (I am obsessed with those!!) so very full also. Stayed the night with Alesha last night. Yay! I love hanging out with her. We’ll just watch a movie or sit and talk and talk and talk. It’s great. We went to the Electric Circus last night, first time there for me, and it was really not fun. Icky guys hitting on us, bad music, and nobody dancing. Pleh. We watched Secretary. That is an extremely odd movie but I really liked it. I know… you’re thinking of course I would but it was really because how much you could do for love. It really got me thinking. I want love so bad, and yet any time there’s a sign of it I push it away. The guy in the movie… really reminds me of me. But so does the girl. Each half of me.

Oh yes, forgot to say that I got a new job at Taste of Italy. It’s fun being a waitress! I like it. Okay… at this point nothing would feel better than to sprawl out on my bed and watch a movie… probably Mallrats. So that’s what I’m doing. Ja ne, minna.

Hi everybody!!! Yes, I’m back. Sorry about the hiatus… I originally bought the domain name unmei.net, but it had already been sold to someone else, so we changed it to ukiyo.net, except… they sort of forgot to change it on the bill too. But it’s all fixed now, hopefully for good.

So not a lot’s been going on lately, really… you didn’t miss much. Although I have to say, a lot of you messaged me to see if everything was okay and that really made me feel loved. Warm fuzzies!! Thanks guys. 🙂

Okay, one thing did happen yesterday. I quit GameStop. I don’t really want to go into it, let’s just say that there’s only so much you should be expected to take at a part-time job. After that, find another, which is exactly what I’m going to be doing the next few days. I have tons of places to look though. I’m very optimistic. Plus, I applied at T-Mobile and that would be really nice if I could get that job. But I’m going to have to find another one before I could get that one anyway. So wish me luck!

Kon’nichiwa minna-san!! I’m having a pretty good week. Very happy. I think it’s the music. Right now I’m listening to Stacy’s Mom by Fountains of Wayne. I went to the i-pod website of all places, and there was a nice little top ten downloads, so I got some new good music. I already had Hey Ya and Stacy’s Mom, but I didn’t know about Dido’s new song White Flag or Sarah McLachlan’s Fallen. So yay downloading.

I’ve been shopping around for a laptop, so I went ahead and looked on the Mac site, but they’re more expensive than Windows-based notebooks. So, although I actually like the design of Mac a lot better than Windows, I still want to pay less. And I’m used to it. I really really really want a Vaio. Specifically this one. But they’re waaay too expensive. Perhaps after I’ve graduated college. No, the one I’m most likely going to get for California is this nice Dell one. I’ve discovered that GameStop employees get a Dell discount. 😀 So all in all it’s going to cost me about $900. Which is very good.

At the insistent urging of Bryan, Paul, and Jeremy I watched Boondock Saints last night. It was great! I loved it. I guess this means I have to watch Reservoir Dogs now. And after watching Evil Dead on Halloween and realizing that was the same guy from Jack of All Trades, I am completely in love with Bruce Campbell.

Hidey-ho! I hope everybody had a great and safe Halloween! I went to a party at Andy and Jessica’s in Tulsa with Bryan, Janell, Alesha, Billy, Jeremy, Tyler, Jeremy’s gal Jessica, and there were a couple of other people there I didn’t know. It was really fun… bobbing for apples, jello shots, and of course, party games. We played all kinds of silly stuff, which for a little while, made me forget that I had any existing problems. So, a good party, basically. There’s another one tonight at Bryan’s, and it’s mostly drinking and video games. And still very awesome. I’m not going to drink though. Maybe a shot, and that will give me just enough edge to kick ass at Halo and Ghost Recon, and to think the drunk people are funny. Yay Halloween! Oh, and I really like my costume. I’m a slayer!I bought a wooden cross and a dowel rod at Wal-Mart, and whittled the dowel rod to make a stake. It’s really pointy too. 😀 And it turned out kind of funny, because about 4 of my friends went as vampires.

Hey! Everybody yell “Go OSU!” in support of the best football team. Yay! I really really really really hope they win. It’s not that I don’t like OU. It’s just that I think the OU fans are really cocky. Like… annoyingly so. They need humbling. So everybody wear orange today! Yay!

Eric!!! You are not getting my point. First of all, okay, so she posed for some men’s magazine. She’s not really that hot. Secondly, you said she makes innuendos! No she doesn’t! Ever! You can watch her and think she’s hot all you want but she never makes ANY kind of comment that could be misconstrued as remotely sexual. Freak. And she has that really goofy laugh. Ew.

Anyway, been really busy/lazy, so I haven’t posted in a while. And now I have the mini-flu because I got a flu shot yesterday. I did get XBox Music Mixer today. Yay! So yeah, gonna go. Ja ne.

I don’t understand it. Flash back to… however long ago it was, when Eric was in my house and my mom and I were watching Rachael Ray on 30 Minute Meals. Eric says, “Hey! I love this show! In my dorm we all gather round and watch it. It’s funny because of all the sexual innuendos.” Like a horror movie, my mom and I both slowly turn our heads to look at Eric like he’s crazy.

Innuendos? I don’t understand. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the show, but there’s nothing sexual about it at all. Of course, now my mom and I make fun of it. We’ll sit there and say, “Ooh, she said ‘meat’.” or “Gonna ‘beat’ those eggs. Uh-huh.” But seriously… it mystifies me. I think I’m going to chalk it up to another one of those things I don’t get about Eric. Hmm.

Something else synchronistic happened yesterday. I was at work, and Aaron, who hangs out there a lot, handed me something somebody left on the counter. It was a Fossil wallet tin and on the front is an old car and it says “Fossil Resorts …California Awaits!” I thought that was really freaky. And cool. At the same time. 😀 It’s a sign.

And there goes my computer again. After it’s been on a while it starts making this noise. Like the fan is overheating and trying really hard or something. Arg. I better turn it off. Ja ne!
