Slow day.
Saturdays. Nothing is really good about Saturdays except Saturday Night Live in which tonight was a rerun. And Sundays I don't like either.
I even got around to watching three movies today. I watched The Wedding Planner on DVD, then I started Couples Retreat, but didn't finish it because then I wanted to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic in which I didn't even finish that one either. But I'll restart them when I get a chance.
It's not often, but it still happens when I start a movie and then decide to watch another one so then I have movies that I stop in the beginning of and then restarting them over next time.
I did also manage squeeze in some episodes of Friends.
Currently listening: the Wicked soundtrack

Day 40
Today was better than yesterday. A little boring, but at least I wasn't pissed off today.
Or maybe I was. When I clean the house, I really get to it. I clean very efficiently, quickly, and adequately. I don't mess around when it comes to cleaning.
I felt like passing out afterward because I was so hot from all the walking and bending and stretching. I am not good at that. I am no contortionist.
Which is why I can't do yoga. I'm not going to bring my ankle to my ear or twist my arm the other way. I think I explained about my fear of disoriented body parts. I shudder every time I even talk about it. I am not flexible in any way. Sure, I can bend up and down, but not too extravagantly. It's said that yoga can prevent injuries from happening, but I already stretched an Achilles tendon in my ankle and I couldn't walk for a month. You'd think I'd do yoga after that? I didn't think so either.

Day 39
I am so mad right now I don't think I'll be able to get to sleep tonight.
My monitor (on my regular computer. I'm using a different one now) has been acting up. It doesn't turn on all the way and boy, is it pissing me off. All I know is that I need a knew one. And when I'm pissed off, I am PIssed Off. Everyday, I am easily driven crazy or losing my patience over the littlest things. I swear every single day, and it's OK because I was swearing when I was three-years-old.
Sometimes, not in this cast though, talking about easily being driven crazy drives me crazy. I am often moody for no reason in the afternoon. I just don't feel like smiling or I can't laugh at what I know is funny, and I can't even enjoy the music i'm listening to on my iPod. Once i was trying to watched some Bewitched shows and after a fierce discussion with my dog and the furniture, I couldn't even laugh at what I knew was funny.
In my moody time, I'm often talking defensively when people don't deserve it. My word for that is Stubborn + Snippy = Stuppy. It can also be snubborn or stippy, but it it doesn't sound clever when it's snibby. I get moody and defensive all the time and even though I really don't like it, I can't help it.
Here's another thing. This often revolves around my dog, Duffy. It's said that "ask and you shall receive". If he asks for trouble, then he'll get it. When people give me trouble, I give it right back. When Duffy sometimes tries apologizing, I don't forgive him. He'll run his body against my legs and ask to be on my lap, but I don't forgive people or him. I just don't. If people disrespect me, then there will be trouble.
One more try with my monitor, and then I'll need a new one.

Day 38
I got Vicky Cristna Bareclona on DVD today. I also got the book Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. Both from Borders.
I want to see the movie. It looks cute. I like Kate Hudson and John Krasinski and the plot looks unique with romantic twists. I started the first chapter on the bus today. I'll try to commit to that as well as Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert before my next birthday, which is later in Spring. And April & Oliver by Tess Callahan. I got that book the same day I got Eat Pray Love. I really like books and I want to read more fiction, but I'm a procrastinating reader. Not a slow reader.
If me and someone were starting a chapter at the same time, I'd probably finish around the same time as them. But if I finish a chapter, it'll take me a while before I continue reading again. It's said that I'm really not that interested in reading the books, but I am. I just never get around to them. But I will finish my three books this summer.
Currently listening: "Price Tag" -Jessie J feat. B.O.B.

Day 37
I checked out The Voice, the new NBC show tonight. Although, Glee was an a hour and a half this time and it overlapped with The Voice. Fortunately, I can catch that and Raising Hope on IMDb or Hulu or something when the full episodes are available. I knew I had to sacrifice it though.
It was really good. I'm not a professionally trained singer, but I know I can sing because I self-taught myself some of it and some dance, too. Although, I took couples dancing for a community activity once. I like singing, but I don't want to sing in public. I like how I sound through my own ears even though people hear me differently. That's weird how our ears do that, but it's just the way it is. I think people wouldn't like my voice if I sing for them.
But th show was fun. The contestants had very good voices and emotional histories and very good talent. I know a good singer when I hear it. My father is a singer, but he has opera training. Although, I won't say how I feel about his voice.
Currently listening: the Stripped album by Christina Aguilera. Watching her as one of the judges made me want to listen to the CD.

Day 36
I watched Romeo & Juliet this evening. And I mean the one with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Not West Side Story. That was a few nights ago. Saturday night.
I decided to watch it for my adaptation, but it's getting hard. If for example, someone is a servant to the Montegue family, I slightly changed their name and made them a friend of my Romeo counterpart. Another for example, Paris is supposed to be a suitor for Juliet that her parents want for her, but she wants Romeo. So she asks Friar Lawrence for that potion which will make her look dead. In my adaptation, I was having Juliet (Julia) get ready for coming out as a debutante and Paris (Philip) is supposed to be her escort, but she wants to get out of it. Philip is a college student, Ryan and Julia are high school students, and Philip is also a former student of Mr. Lawrence, an English teacher, help Juliet get out of the debutante ball.
I'm going to have to make it a loose adaptation with Ryan and Julia meeting at a Halloween party hosted by her parents, lapse a few months to the spring right before the Prom (equivalent of the wedding), and then have them break up at the end (instead of killing each other)
Romeo - Ryan
Juliet - Julia
Mercutio - Robert
Tybalt - Peter, Julia's brother
Since I don't want any of the characters to die, I'm going to have Peter get into a fight with Robert who then gets kicked out of school. Then Ryan beats up Peter causing him hospitalization, and then having to break up with Julia after their parents catch each other.
There's a lot more detail to it and I'll explain in later posts.
Currently listening: the West Side Story soundtrack (even West Side Story is the same as Romeo & Juliet)

Day 35
Happy Easter Bunny Day!
I tried to make the text style look festive for the holiday. Really it's Easter, but I kind of started a quip earlier today.
A friend on Facebook said "Happy Easter, everybunny." I thought it was cute. So I changed it and wrote on his wall, "Happy Easter Bunny to you, too". Obviously, the day is meant for the resurrection of Jesus and not an Easter bunny, but I thought it would sound cute.
Easter is in the middle of my favorite holiday and my least favorite. I love Christmas and I hate Thanksgiving, but I don't mind Easter. Other holidays like Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Valentines Day; eh. I really love Fourth of July.
I think the only holiday I'll have left in my blog is Father's Day. Which reminds me, sometimes my dad's birthday will be on Easter, sometimes my mother's will be on Columbus Day, my brother was born on St. Anne's Day (I don't know what it's really for, though), but Father's Day will never be on my birthday. Although, my sister-in-law's birthday is always the day before Halloween, but it's not the same. But whatever.
I hope people had a good Easter Bunny Day.
