my cat is insane. really. she is.

my freaking cat bit me on the hand this morning, and drew blood. for no good reason!! i was trying to close the closet door, and she was in the way, so i gently moved her over. i guess she wanted to be trapped in the closet like r kelly or something, because she bit me when i moved her out of the way! i yelled at her so loud and swooshed at her with a pillow. then she looked all innocent and sheepish, like, "what? what did i do?" YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID, GERTIE! and you better be thinking about what you've done ALL DAY. mommy's mad at you.

then i got to work and realized that i forgot my lunch. *sigh* anyway...

so, chris and i were able to go into our new digs recently to measure and take pictures and whatnot. the people we bought the house from still have a ton of stuff in there (we close in about 2 weeks), so i snapped some pics. here are the highlights.

i can't believe it never occurred to me until just now to search for "the state" on youtube. they have WHOLE ENTIRE EPISODES ON THERE!!! WOW. oh, happy day! kenny will be so excited---he's gonna yell, "I WANNA DIP MY BALLS IN IT!!" for all the world to hear. so, i guess i will be watching these all night long...that is, until "the office" comes on...3 episodes in a row tonight. and speaking of "the office..."

here are season 3 "spoilers." don't look if you don't want to, but i did and it reveals practically nothing. since i am myspace friends with pam, i read some of that stuff already. i'm kind of relieved, because i was addicted to reading the television without pity message boards when "six feet under" was down to its last few episodes, and i knew exactly when and how nate was going to die, and all the details of the last episode. clearly you can tell that i was the kid who snooped for her christmas presents and even snuck downstairs at night to carefully open the tape on the gifts and take a peek inside because she just couldn't stand it...anyway, i don't want to know anything about what happens with jim and pam until it airs. nothing. i just have to learn to control myself.

i think i'll drink a few for jim morrison tonight.

maybe i'll have one for michael mcclure while i'm at it...just for good measure. he's not dead or anything, but he deserves a drink in his honor, too, i reckon... i met him once. he was nice.

i can almost hear my boyfriend groaning, "oh, GREAT..." as he reads this. i'm sure he is envisioning me drunkenly singing along to doors songs and watching DVDs and talking about how into them i used to be and generally being a silly goose. i'll try to control myself, honey. :) and don't be bringing home no sixer of tall budweisers!!

anyway, yeah... today is the day jim morrison died.

so, rest in peace, jim . :/

you know, i really savor my first saturday morning cup of coffee and smoke. it's just like...ahhhhhhhhh!

okay, moving on.

i sure do like that johnny depp. he's all over the place right now what with "pirates 2." (the cool kids just call it "pirates 2.") i have no intention of seeing "pirates 2," unless it's like maybe a year from now, on encore or something, on a hungover sunday afternoon. i would never go see it intentionally. i saw the first one in the theater and i thought it was one of the worst movies i'd ever seen in my life. i realize that i am one of the few people on earth who feel this way, but i do know of others that hated it as well.

now, don't get me wrong, i realize that johnny gives a great performance. all gay and keith richards and stuff. he's the only good thing about that movie. i realize it's a family film, and maybe when i have kids i'll like it better. but, it's just not my cup of tea.

anyway, here are my top 5 favorite johnny things:

1. ed wood. this just goes without saying. this is truly his greatest performance. oh, wait. maybe not...

2. fear and loathing in las vegas. ok. this is his greatest performance. and i've had a lot of inside jokes with friends regarding this movie and quoting it a lot. i just think this movie is so amazing. this is the only book that was made into a movie that actually came frighteningly close to the way things looked in my head. it's a surreal experience, watching that movie. so great.

3. edward scissorhands. there are a lot of good lines from this one, too. i love the way he says "glands." i also often say, "blend, blend, blend!" this one came out when i was a senior in high school, and i watch it every time it's on. this movie is so special.

4. private resort. in the complete opposite direction of "edward scissorhands," this movie is SO BAD. like, have a get-together and have a few drinks and watch this movie and laugh at it kind-of bad. and i like movies like that.

5. cry-baby. it's john waters, man!!! i saw this movie in the theater with my older sister. she said she'd treat us to the movies and i could pick the movie, in an effort to get closer or something. i picked "cry-baby." she was like, "uhhhhh...what did we just see?" classic.
