Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are

There’s a new song available for download “Hike and Seek” by Imogen Heap. It’s a few years old and apparently got some attention when it was used in The OC which may be where I first heard it. I’ve been hearing it lately as it’s been sampled into a new song by Jason Derulo called “Watcha Say”. Every time I heard it, I kept trying to put my finger on what song it was sampling but came up short. I finally Googled it and downloaded “Hide and Seek” for myself. The part which is sampler is definitely my favourite part as it’s so melodic and catchy but I love the ethereal sound of the rest of the song, too. I hope you enjoy it.

My Body, the Stranger

For whatever reason, random body parts are all sensitive right now. My lips even feel a little funny. I know it’s probably related to the fact that I’m a female with all the parts that entails but I really have never been all the observant when it comes to my own body; things on the outside are an entirely different story, though. Some women notice the slightest thing and know it’s right on time with their cycle. They recognize that seemingly unrelated issues like a headache could be due to hormone balance but I was never that way. I never had any idea where I am in my cycle.

It’s not just that; I’m pretty oblivious to things unrelated to having a uterus. I don’t really pay attention to how food or medicine affects me. The only thing I do tend to notice is how I feel when I need sleep (cranky, hot) or when the weather is extreme. I guess I don’t always put two and two together when it comes to my own body because I’m too busy paying attention to other things. It amazes me how well other people do know their bodies but I have more important things to do.

People Are Rude

Today I went to do laundry and some woman has 6 out of the 8 washers full. EXCUSE ME? To make matter worse, she had them in random machines so I had to open them all to find which ones were empty and some of them only have a handful of items in them. So I put my one load in, go back for another..

Then when I go to put everything in the dryers, they’re ALL taken. Now, if I was using 2 and she was using 6 that means she used all the dryers! Seriously, bitch! Other people need to fucking dryers.

So I had to leave my wet laundry in the basket and came back to put up some shelves and clean but.. there were stupid people sitting all over the front steps. Move people. You’re in my effing way.

PS, I’ll see everyone tomorrow!

Looking forward to next week

I cannot believe on Monday I’ll be in Wausau. I get to see my friends and family, of course, and mom’s new house and new SUV. I’ll probably be shown off to my sister’s teachers, get some bourbon chicken and go out (as long as someone pays my way. Hehe) I can’t wait (except for the being apart from Ryan and coming home after he is already gone part).

Cole the Handyman

Yesterday seemed like a good day. We headed to a shopping center and hit up Pier 1, Lowe’s, Linens and Things and Barnes and Noble. We finally purchased a mirror I had been wanting for the living room and happened to find a modular shelving set at linens and things which was on sale because they’re going out of business. We both added some books to our collections and we finally got brackets to help us hang our mantel shelf, which I did around 3:45 this morning. LOL It actually turned out really nice.

On the other hand, the modular shelving did not work nearly as well as I would have liked and I wound up putting a half dozen useless holes in the wall because the holes in the shelves are so small and particular. Even using the paper templates which came with it resulted in problems and I wound up wasting half of the anchors which came with. Not to mention that trying to get the shelves on the damn wall made a bunch of black marks (because the shelves are black). I finally “finished” even though the shelves are not flush to the wall, level with eachother and possible not even usable. I just decided to give up. Ugh.

Whos’ got a big mouth?

Well, our AC is back. Called the office and maintenance came over a few hours later. As it turns out, someone sort of unplugged it outside. I mean, how the hell does that happen?

Aside from that, I have been blogging a lot. Although I haven’t signed up for National Blog Posting Month, I have posted every day this month except once. Of course, this is across all of my blogs (I am counting 4 here). I guess I just must have a lot to say.

It’s November? Are you sure?

Man, I don’t know what’s going on. For the past few days, the AC has been really shitty. Yesterday was very humid as well. We replaced the filter today, sometihng which was badly need because the old one was pitch black and hadn’t been changed in God knows how long, but it doesn’t seem to have really helped. So tomorrow I get to call maintenance again. Ugh.

It would have been nice if they had even told us we need to change the filters every month, too.
