BABIES WITH NO NAME GO TO HELL

So it has been a while but I've had my hands full, what with working and being in a play and being AUNT MANDY FOR THE 2ND TIME! The little baby that my sister was carrying inside of her came out on saturday the 28th day of this lovely lusty month of may. She is a girl, which we had already established through science and a process of elimination. She is still nameless and therefore aimless. Aimless Adams. My sister already has this site up to view pictures but I will warn you that there is some bloodiness and some nudity so if you are a prude or prone to sicking up I would maybe think twice.

I got a new bed yesterday at Mattressland. If you lived in medford you would know this place because it is famous for its one note one word jingle. "Mattressland!" I bought a mattress and box springs for $230 which was a pretty good deal what with the memorial day sales. And I had $230 dollars in my pocket which would either go towards a new bed or $230 dollars worth of Pudding to rub my ass in. A La, Barry and Lavonne from the State. Actually, they had $240 dollars worth of pudding. Which is a little bit more pudding than I would have but there is just one of me and there were two of them. I also went to the mall, to Linens and Things and Whatnots and Beyond and bought a new down comforter just in time for summer. I got a Duvet set, which included a duvet and 2 shams and is not pronounced Doo-vet like some of you ingormouses out there may think but is actually pronouced Doo-vay. I learned this yesterday from the sales person. Also, shams are pillow cases. I learned this when I opened up the duvet set and there were 2 pillow cases inside. I am in heaven now with my new bed and comforter. I also rearranged my room and it is much better, roomier, and nicer now.

I was going to be in the next show at the theater I'm working with now which is a musical called Children of Eden but I have decided not to. I'll be gone for a week in june to see the new baby, amino acid, and it also runs through my birthday and the 4th of july and I would rather not be doing a show during that time. Also, I can't stand one of the cast members. So no plays for me for a while. Judgment at Nuremberg ends 6/11 so I'll be free to watch tv and play video games in my free time after that.

I applied to take the mailman test recently. I should be getting the paperwork in the mail soon. They don't offer the tests all the time, just when they are hiring at the US post service. So I may become a mail man. A Mail Mandy.... ho ha ho. If that doesn't make me a spinster for life, I don't know what will. But at least I'll have benefits forever and make a decent living. I took the sample test and it is pretty easy for someone like me. It is all speed and accuracy and memorization. I am a wizard at anything involving those three things.

I have not seen any good movies lately or gotten any new music lately. I have been playing pikmin 2, which is really fun for people who like repetitive puzzle like games and pretty graphics. Like me. I have been watching the first 2 seasons of Mr. Show which is pretty funny. I've got the next few discs coming in the mail soon. And my brother bought the dvd of Firefly, which was a short lived sci-fi western show created by Joss Whedon, the guy that created Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It is pretty good and I recommend it to dorks.

What else.... hmmm... My friends becky and trish are both in japan right now but they don't know each other. I got two postcards from japan in one week from them and I felt like I know very interesting people especially since they are independent of each other. My friend Steve has been in France but is back now. It would have been neat if I got a postcard from france and japan but steven is not very thoughtfull when it comes to postcards. And Justin and Alicia were in Ireland recently so I am very jealous of everbody I know since I haven't even ever been out of the country. I am such a loser. My little nephew jack is still very cute though a little bit more unruly as he is now 2 1/2 years old. He is still my favorite until this other one does something cute.

Oh, and I should spend sometime on health related matters since this is supposed to be a blog about my diabetesness. I have been getting dizzy spells all the time and it is really disconcerting but I'll be seeing my doctor on friday and so I'll know then if I am dying.

Well, I'm off to the Robot Parts Factory.

Kolchak

Justin Byrne to me

It just won't be the same: A remake of the shortlived 1970s occult series "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" is also among the three new dramas and two comedies ABC said Tuesday it will introduce in the fall.

My poor nephew. People are going to think he is named after some stupid remake of a tv show and they won't even know about the original. Crazy. I hope it is good.

Apparently Stuart Townsend is playing Kolchak. He was boyfriends with Charlize Theron. Maybe she'll guest star as a vampire. That would be awsome!!!!

Reviewing the Situation.

The title of this blog entry is a reference to the musical "Oliver!" for all you musical theater ignorami out there. It has a double meaning in this context, however, since I will now be discussing two movies I've seen recently. I did see the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy as planned and I enjoyed it. Apparently I am the only one in the world. My dad had these words to say about the film, "On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a -2. Don't waste your money. - Moif" (he calls himself Moif) and also "Stinky stinky movie - don't bother seeing it." I got these messages after I had already seen it. My dad is a big fan of the books. He used to play the radio show of it in his classroom when I was in highschool. Also, they did a television miniseries sort of thing on it that he had on video and he would play it over the lunch hour once a year so dorks could congregate and feel like they were part of something bigger, something larger than the quad and the football team and lockers and cafeterias and whatnot.

I actually liked the movie but I can see where he would be disappointed. He didn't like the graphic artsy style they used for the guide. I did. He didn't like the actor who played Arthur Dent. I love him. He thought the casting of Mos Def as Ford Prefect was stupid. I like Mos Def. And on and on. At least he laughed at the funniest scene which involves people getting hit about the head neck and chest which my mom thought was stupid. My mom thought marvin the robot was "too cute" and not depressed enough. I thought his robot form was sort of dumpy and roundish and suited him well. She hated trillion. I really like whats-her-name that played her. I think they both mostly had a problem with the casting and the fact that it wasn't the way they had imagined it. Which, duh, always happens.

This last weekend I saw Kingdom of Heaven, which may have been a better movie than The HGTTG, but I still didn't enjoy it as much. I do like that Orlando Bloom though. And Liam Nieson wasn't in it enough. The bad guy in it was really good. Good at being BAD! He was like Billy Zane meets Russell Crowe. More Billy Zane than Russell Crowe. Which is to say, more cheesy and overactory. Which I like. All in all, I give it 3 out of 5 stars, mostly because it was very beautiful.

I also recently rewatched Jackass:The Movie with my dad and brother.
That movie is a classic. An instant classic. Brilliant. 6 out of 5 stars.

Here is a link to the play I'm in that opens this weekend for anyone interested. judgment at Nuremberg
