I'm bored...

And I can't focus on any one thing right now sooooooooooooo.....

The painting is finally getting done here (thank God)... Couldn't even hand out Halloween candy because of that... It also amused me to no end to see a picture of Gareth David-Lloyd wearing black nail polish... That and it was nice to see that he has the same girlfriend that he had this summer (AHEM)...

I cleaned out my itunes today... I removed all of the episodes of Queer as Folk I had on there... Which makes me kinda sad, but oh well... They are still on my computer, though.

My cat has been following me around all day... I got them new food, but he's still just bugging me.

I went to Walmart to get the cat food and water... And they were playing country music on the PA... I was like.... Okay.... I then went back to the music on my ipod, but realized a little while later that they were playing the Monkees' "Pleasant Valley Sunday".

I cannot wait till the election is over... I could get on my soapbox about voting, but I won't... I just hope that we will know by Wednesday who the next president is...

Ummmmmmmmmmmm.... Oh yeah, I almost forgot... There are going to be dancemix's released of John Barrowman's "What About Us". That kinda frightens me... Not that I won't listen of course... I do listen to other artists... He just calms me, so I listen to him more :o)

Oh and I read a kind of interesting spoiler about Torchwood series 3 today too... It was actually real too, unlike the one I read that Owen was coming back to be King of the Weevils (I promise that is not a spoiler, just some really odd speculation I read somewhere)...

I can't listen to this song, without thinking of Catherine Tate and John Barrowman making fun of it...

Okay I think I feel better...

Weird thing to say considering I left work sick... And I was upset about my hours... They gave me full time, when I specifically asked for part time... My TM was really nice about it and said it should be cleared up by the end of today...

That's not why I'm better though... I actually looked at my bank account and I have more money than I thought... I paid my bills, and I have money for my car insurance.... YAY...

I'm just still not sure if I'm staying where I'm working... Well I know I'm not staying long term...

Oh and I REALLY want to know if John Barrowman's in town... I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to TO tomorrow anyway... Roam around Queen St and all of that...

And Torchwood tonight... From Out of the Rain, another episode people didn't seem to like, but I really do.

ETA: Okay I've confirmed he's definitely not in TO.

Technically the episode isn't over yet...

but Something Borrowed is on right now... And I get to watch it, no more missing it.... Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........

Anyway, two things... I swear the episodes that they are playing on Space are different cuts than what they played on the BBC.... It's really starting to confuse me... That and this is the last of the botox episodes... I'm sorry but it's really distracting...

I'm starting to wonder if the next series will be the botox series...

Oh and apparently the Torchwood series 2 North American DVD release that was this past Tuesday? I confirmed today that the Canadian release has been delayed to November 11th... I ran all around the frickin' city looking for it, only to find that I can't get it... I could have stayed home and had a nap... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

Oh and The Sound of Music opens next Friday.... And JB has nothing scheduled for next week... So does that mean he *could* be coming back to TO next week? I'm trying REALLY hard not to get my hopes up...

Work was REALLY scary and REALLY fun today... All of our floor support is really nice... So hopefully...


Oh and how come I didn't know that Ruthie Henshall dated Prince Edward till today?

ETA: Oh AND I lost one of my Tigger earrings... No idea how... I've had those earring for over 10 years grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

I am SO....

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........................

It was a relatively good week, class was good, training was good... The problem? Our shift was posted for next week it's 1:30-10:00 which I CANNOT work and go to school, not possible... I'm still waiting to hear about a couple of interviews...

I also SO badly want to say something "cliqueishness" in fandom, but I won't... Cause even if only one person reads this they could take it the wrong way... Those people who think they aren't, they are... How do I know this? From experience... I've tried to encourage and been ignored except for comments that I've made to them...

That's it though, not saying anymore than that...

I learned something valuable this week..

The hard way no less (that's typical with me though)... My mom loves me no matter what I do, and I have done probably everything now (good and BAD).

Since it's the anniversary of September 11th, I'll share my story... I was unemployed and was watching the tv that morning... As per my usual it was the Today Show and Matt Lauer was interviewing a guy about book he wrote about Howard Hughes just before 9am... I can even remember that the last question Matt asked was how he got info about Howard and he said he had had access to his diaries... Matt looked up, turned to the guy and said I'm sorry, but I have to cut you off... But then it was 8:54am and they had to go off till 9am (for the local news, weather etc...)... So I was curious, and switched the channel to CNN, and sure enough they were reporting about a plane hitting the World Trade Centre.... That was the point when they were still talking about when a plane hit the Empire State Building in the 30's, so no sure sign yet that it was terrorism... I switched to Regis and Kelly then (back when I still liked her) and they were showing pictures of the fire and the smoke at the top of the building... Kelly was in shock and Regis was speechless (for once) And then they started talking about the television signals that were taken out when the planes hit the tower... So I started switching between channels, and I just missed the footage of the second plane hitting... Which of course confirmed terrorism...

Then I had to go to the doctor. All I could think that it was ironic that it was my second appointment that summer and the first time was the day they put Timothy McVeigh to death and now this... All to do with terrorism. That and I was wondering what the doctor would say (he's an older man, and is frazzled on a good day, no telling what something like this would do).

I drove down and on the way I was listening to the radio... Waited for the doctor, in the office their radio station was still playing music, but my doctor's secretary got a phone call confirming that the buildings had fallen... Then I saw the doctor (who didn't have much to say at all), and then I drove home and by then even my radio station (I used to listen to oldies all the time) was playing news coverage.

I talked to my mom and the neighbours about it (the couple next door actually left for Pennsylvania the next day), and of course watched the coverage continuously...

I remember someone saying that they were targeting tall buildings and it made me wonder if they considered the CN Tower...

Just all these thoughts flying through my head...

At this time of night...

I post the most ridiculous and retarded things... I can say that about myself, I'm allowed ;o)....

Anyway, I figured out yesterday why John Barrowman says "thank you very much" all the time... He gets it from Jimmy Osmond... Now this is where the retarded part comes in (where people think that about me anyway :P)... I read somewhere that when JB was first on with Al Murray (is that right? the British guy that had his show in a pub), he talked about white pants that he had that were just like Jimmy Osmond's... Which makes me think he watched the Osmonds when he was growing up and considering that Jimmy is close to his age, he may have emulated him at one point and picked up some of his catchphrases... I'm too tired to do a proper search on youtube to find John saying it, but I know he does, and I know I can find Jimmy saying it...

It's bedtime... I've eaten WAY too many cookies today... Work was boring, but I got a 98 on my Windows Fundamentals project... I also got into with my mother about cookies and chicken.

ETA: Duh I forgot the other thing... JB's Animal Planet show... There is finally more stuff coming out about it. He was with exotic animals which makes me think that he was at the Toronto Zoo... Apparently, they're not done shooting yet either... Could he be coming back to finish? Sound of Music opens in October... Didn't he go to the opening of the shows in the UK? Makes me wonder....

I got a job!!! And the Olympics....

A part time job, that will fit into my school schedule...

YAY...............It's in a call centre and I will start with training... But it's something (I will ditch it if I hear from the egg lady though)...



AND tonight USA vs. Canada men's baseball... My former next door neighbour is on the team, Scott Thorman... Most likely NBC will play part of the game too, not just the CBC...


Oh AND third episode of Torchwood tonight on Space... To the Last Man... mmmmmmmmmmmm... yummy :P

I'll probably watch that and not the baseball game... I did that last week with the opening ceremonies too...

Start at the beginning...

Right? Right...

The last few weeks, have been horrible... You know the saying just when you think things can't get any worse? No don't have sex (sorry Owen :P) They do?

My mom and I are truly like oil and water... We are too alike and we are too different... And basically the *almost* worse (the worst being going to jail) has happened twice in the last month... I ended up spending a few days with my aunt, because it was so bad.

The course I am about to start will help me, and I am working on getting a job... I've had a few interviews, so hopefully one of them will go somewhere. What I really want is a job at this place in Toronto, but I can't get the lady to ask... She's too busy with her brother's wedding, which is understandable... But I'm sure people can relate that once you figure out what you want to do you want to start NOW...

I've been trying to find out if my doctor got a report about me... I've been calling for two weeks, and the secretary is so helpful. I found out for sure it was faxed to them, she told me she hadn't gone through the mail yet... WHAT?

The obvious is to of course get out. I can't address that right now...

Since it's 8/8/08

at bit of disclosure...

My decision from the other day? I signed up for a business class that will take 5 months to complete. I finally have gotten tired of going from job to job with no credibility behind me, this will give me that (and some peace of mind). When I signed up the other day, I was still totally unsure (with a lot of other things still going on), but it all went away when I filled out the forms... I really feel like I made the right decision, cause I really have no lingering doubts about it, they all evaporated. Today sealed the deal too, cause I will have no trouble getting aid..........Whew! I start the 18th.

I am also working on getting a job... I have had some interviews so hopefully. And I might have a lead on a place to live too... Hopefully AND I can pay my car insurance.


Oh and Torchwood starts on Space tonight! I hope my fellow Canadians will be watching tonight... Two episodes too!

Not much Queer as Folk....

The last few days... Some job assessments (yawn)... That I keep watching this one clip of Torchwood on youtube... I'd post it, but I would think one could almost guess which one it is ;o)

I surfed BBC Canada, and discovered (like I pretty much figured) that they do not carry the show... Pout

Merry Christmas to all...

This entry is about yesterday....

I woke up to take my Mom to Walmart and the mall to find that Brad Pitt was on Regis and Kelly? That was.... Um interesting...

Walmart and the mall weren't too busy, so then I had to run to Herbal Magic (which only took five minutes thankfully)... Everything is good on that front.

Got home to make my mom's Christmas presents (I burned her 6 George Jones CDs) only to find that I had no coloured ink for my printer... So I ran back up to Staples (which wasn't that busy, but I had to go through the Walmart parking lot to get there)... Got back and Kelly stopped in... She was leaving for Niagara on the Lake, so she couldn't take very long...

Then I spent the rest of the afternoon burning the CDs... The early years one was almost the death of me... It was the only one where I ended up with duds (three of them)... I didn't even watch GH, or get through my flist (and it wasn't that busy yesterday)... As it was, I had to go before I got the early years done...

Mom wanted to leave for church for 5:30, so I went and got ready and then spent my time waiting for her typing the songs to the CDs...

Then I ran outside with the garbage, only to leave my purse inside the can... So I didn't have my purse with me at the service...

I'm not as a big a fan of Grandview as I once was... And the only word I have to describe Brad is "jerk."

We came home, I found my purse, made my supper and proceeded to make the last of the CDs. Got that done, wrapped them and her other present, and finally settled down to watch tv...

I watched, "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Scott Baio is Single and 45." I was even up late enough to see the beginning of midnight mass at the Vatican...

Today is quieter, even though I couldn't get back to sleep this morning...

Mom is making the chicken I got, and I get to tackle blanching the cauliflower and broccoli....

I kind of want to see Sweeney, but I don't feel that great (I can't stop sneezing again and my eyes are red). It's also not playing in town...It's not that far out of town... I just... I mean I know I saw Blood Diamond last Christmas... But I felt better then

I kid you not...

My car was searched at the border yesterday (by a drug sniffing dog) and my storage drive blew up yesterday. I ended up taking my mom's car to Future Shop (I hate driving her car, I learned to drive with it, but that doesn't mean I want to drive it now)), the guy told me that most likely my files could be recovered, but he called later and said that they were gone. All of my music and more importantly my boots are all gone... The only place I have them is on my ipod.

And now I'm back at work oh happy day for me...
