Somebody send me coffee. STAT.

[stoney321]

I forgot to pick up coffee yesterday while running errands (oh my god, when does everyone have everything and GETS OUT OF MY HOUSE? *cries*) and I need some hot java and I have none, woe. Hence the Kara is devastated icon. WE"RE GOING THE WRONG WAAAAAY!! Coffee is over there! *cries more*

I'm almost done with the second Twilight book. Hooboy, that is one lousy protagonist. I like how she LITERALLY is nothing (and has no memory of anything because she CEASED TO EXIST) when the Bedazzled Boy She Loves is gone. Wow, is that a bad message. And I realized who Stephanie Meyers was getting her inspiration from for the Edward character, but you'll have to wait for the overall analysis, bum bum bum!

I would like to thank swmbo for the suggestion of a zip-loc bag for the Kindle for bathtub readings. Excellent suggestion. Also, I've been taking the Kindle to the gym and love running on the treadmill with it. It's best if I'm just walking on a high incline because then I don't have to worry about my Bella-tastic coordination when trying to turn the page (hitting a button) while running.

...sometimes I just fall over so I can feel the character, Isabella Swan.

Is anyone else dying to see Tropic Thunder? Can I just say that it looks like the funniest thing to come out in a loooong time? I love that they are putting all the taboos out there, like a white man playing a black man (I lub you Robert Downey, Jr. Always and forever.) and said actor asking if another actor is going to go "full retarded" to get an Oscar. That makes me laugh because that makes me crazy. The whole "I'm going to try and win an Oscar by playing a mentally impaired person!" mindset. I'm looking at you, Juliette Lewis. And you, Sean Penn.

While I can get why some groups are upset at the use of that word, I personally feel that they are pointing the fingers at the right people: the people who use a horrible impairment for their own fame/careers. Wow, do I have problems with that. (With the ONE exception of What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I can't watch that movie because of how honest and real it is, personally. I do find it weird that this movie is getting so much flack for the "R" word, when I hear it thrown around on TV all the damn time. Hmm. I guess satire isn't easy to understand? Whatever, I'm going this weekend and I plan on laughing my ass off.

Today I register the kids for school. IT DRAWS EVER CLOSER......

OMG NO COFFEE! That sucks!

I think the main reason people are screaming so loud over the "r" word is because this is the absolute *best* opportunity they've ever had to raise awareness about the issue. At the same time, I think it makes them look kind of ridiculous because of their inability to recognize satire for what it is.

I'm not even going to start about my opinions on the overly politically correct thing that's so very big right now.

I spoke with the track coach I know yesterday and this is what he had to say

I'll be happy to watch you run through the eyes of the masterful coach I am. However.... My advice is Don't run! It is the most brutal thing you can do to your body. I have had 4 knee surgeries and 1 foot because of all those miles. Don't tell my kids this though.

So I'm going to get a new pair of cross trainers, a swimsuit, cap and goggles and work on my breast stroke instead. Maybe I'll even get around to working on my crawl

My headache has begun... I think I have some Bayer somewhere. (It has caffeine. Glorious, glorious caffeine.)

See, and here I am thinking that the movie "I Am Sam" would have been the best time to raise a stink. 1) because it sucked and 2) because Sean Penn thought to himself, "If I play a retarded person, I'll get an Oscar." *punches him*

You know, I completely agree with your track buddy. But the body wants to run.... Oooh, breast stroke! Wait, goggles? I've been doing wrong all along! (Ba dum bum CHING!)

the caffeine-withdrawal-headache is the worst IMO. If I don't get some caffeine goodness in me they always segue into migraines.

You're right that "I Am Sam" would have been the best time, but unfortunately it didn't happen then. And coincidentally, I believe that's exactly the reason he took the movie and I'm SO glad he didn't win anything. At this point I don't even remember if he was nominated.

One reason I've been putting off swimming is my hair. I pay too much for color to just go jump in a *heavily* chlorinated pool, seriously, during swim season sometimes it knocks me out from OUTSIDE. But the knee and the hip would be far more expensive to "touch-up" so swim cap and pool it is.

Look at you! Caffeine free jokes!

I'm brewing some chai - I'm hoping that helps.

Girlfriend, you and me with the hair. *points to self* Hellooooo, Leo. I hate getting my hair wet in a pool. Love swimming, hate the chlorine. Caps for the win! Maybe find a cute retro one with rubber flowers on it!

Vanity is my favorite sin *g*

I had to have some oolong at lunch to make up for my sleep deficiency. Damn you Olympic Gymnastics ::shakes fist::
