“Dammit!”

Posted on1 Comment

Jack Bow-wow-er You may recognize that little guy in the photo. He’s been around for a few years, but never had a name, until yesterday. Meet Jack Bow-wow-er. Um yea, I’m a bit obsessed with 24 at the moment. We even went to the evil incarnate known as Best Buy last night and bought Season 5 on DVD. What can I say? Joe had a $50 gift card from his boss and it was only $19.99. This is our first 24 box set; all the others we borrowed from friends. We want to refresh our memories before Season 6 begins in two weeks. I am so psyched to be watching this season again even though I can’t stand President Logan. No one will ever top President Palmer; not even a real life president the way things have been going.

So getting back to Jack Bow-wow-er. You see, he’s a little rascal. In the mornings Joe will often find him lounging on his side of the bed. Then when he goes to work, the little bugger ends up in my underwear drawer looking far too happy than a puppy should look. And after work he somehow makes it to a new destination. Yet I never see him do it, nor does Joe. It’s quite the mystery, which I suppose is to be expected from a CTU agent.

Next year you’re getting everything in gift boxes

I just went through the part of the holidays I dread the most: present wrapping. I procrastinate over it every year because I am the worst at wrapping gifts. I make Joe wrap all the presents to my family, coworkers and the kids, but that still leaves the presents for him. I can’t very well ask him to wrap his own presents, now can I? So I struggle through it and by the end I give up even trying and the presents look somewhat mutilated. But who cares, right? After all, he’s just going to rip them open anyway.

Also, I am turning into a ‘point your finger and laugh at’ pet owner because I wrapped a gift I bought my hamster, Peanut. Hmmm … I’m thinking I really need to get out more. I’m turning into crazy cat hamster lady, but with a husband.

Happy B-Day to Kiefer

Jack BauerHappy 40th Birthday to Kiefer Sutherland who plays the sexiest man on television, Jack Bauer. Rawr! He could perhaps be the sexiest man on the entire planet, if my husband didn’t already hold that title.

Let me ask you ladies something because I had this discussion with a few guys and they just didn’t get it. Do you find certain actors’ tv/movie character sexy/attractive but feel much differently about the real person? It’s like the personality of the character is a big part of the attraction. I think Jack Bauer is hot but I’m not that enthused about Kiefer. Apparently I’m impressed by violence. Also, I noticed Kiefer is hottest when he looks pissed off.

Yes, I’m weird.

Friday on Thursday & New Music

Posted on

Thank goodness tomorrow is my last day of work until after Christmas. Yea, unlike many of you lucky ducks, I don’t have the week between Christmas and New Year’s off. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to thoroughly enjoy the four days I do have away from work. The way things have been going lately it is so desperately needed. Tomorrow night I will kick back on the couch and watch back to back DVR’d episodes of one of my favorite new shows, My Boys, while hubby plays Socom with his buddies. I may put the presents under the tree if I’m feeling especially ambitious.

You have to check out these bands I recently discovered:

Pelican – A Chicago heavy metal instrumental band from what I’ve heard thus far. To be honest, I’m going by the clips I’ve heard at CD Universe as I haven’t bought an album just yet. I do have plans to, however. Something about their style reminds me of The Cure’s Carnage Visors which I listened to twice in a row the other day.

Panic! At The Disco – They have the longest song titles I’ve ever seen! Their music is super catchy and after a cursory listen to Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, not a bad track on the entire album. That’s a hard feat to achieve which is why I still listen to New Order, Depeche Mode and The Cure more often than anything else.

There is nothing worse than having to skip over undesirable tracks. Which reminds me: check out Alkaline Trio but stay away from Orbital’s Altogether album. The suckiest suck they’ve ever released. HORRIBLE. Two discs and one halfway decent song that plays ad nauseam on XM’s The System. And they used to be so good! Man. :p

Why is it that when I empty the trash in Yahoo! Mail Beta it then takes me to the trash folder so I can see a message that says “There are no messages in your Trash folder”? Duh, I just emptied it you morons. Why take me to the folder at all? It should empty it and leave me in my Inbox unless I click on the word Trash. Don’t even get me started on how slow it is to load and mark new messages as read. Still better than the old mail, but annoying nonetheless.

Also, where can I get a WordPress plug-in that allows only registered users to comment? I’m sick of deleting sick spam comments in the moderation queue.
