On Thursday nights, Ladystyx and I both watch a show on television called Supernatural. It's about two brothers who drive across the country searching out demons, sending them back to Hell, and in the process saving innocent lives. The biggest reason we watch, and I think Styxie will agree with me, is the oh so cute guys who play the brothers, Sam and Dean. Total eye candy!

What made me mention this show is, Ladystyx gets periodic emails from a website with previews and informational articles about this show (and a couple other that we watch), and right under the particular article tonight was one of those quizzes where you answer some questions and it tells you which Supernatural character you are. There were only 15 questions, so I decided to take the quiz to see what the result would be.

Which Supernatural Character Are You?

More on Supernatural. Created by BuddyTV

Mmmmm, this is my eye candy, my favorite character, the reason I started watching this show midway through the first season. And surprisingly enough, the results are pretty accurate, lol.

Happy Spring!

Wonder why I'm saying that? Well...have I got an answer for you! On the news last night, the meteorologist was saying that Feb 28th is the last day of meteorological winter. March 1 is the beginning of meteorological spring. Not sure WHY that is, but it is. So, happy spring!

Tonight was kind of a boring night, didn't do a lot. After a rough day at work, I came home, ate some food, Kerry sent me one cd, I watched American Idol, then got caught up on Supernatural taped last night and my soap (Days of Our Lives) from today. The episode of Supernatural was supposedly taking place in Chicago, but I don't recall seeing any landmarks to prove it was filmed here, lol. Odds are they didn't go on location to film this episode.

Tomorrow will be pretty busy at work tomorrow, so as soon as DooL is over, I'm heading to bed.

What a night for television!

American Idol from 7pm-8:30pm, Supernatural from 8pm-9pm, and The Amazing Race from 8pm-10pm. Impossible to watch all of them at once!

First with American Idol...tonight was the top 10 girls performing. I have a couple favorites so far, and there were a couple that I think have some potential, but picked some songs that didn't impress me. It's amazing how one week the judges will say "We want to see more of you", then the next week when you do a song to show your personality, they say "You looked like you were having fun, but your song selection wasn't good." Sometimes you just can't win, lol. Tomorrow night is the guys turn, another 90 minute show, 2 of each to be eliminated on the Thursday results show.

Moving to The Amazing Race, in case Kerry hasn't seen the second half of it yet, I won't give anything away. Let's just say the team I was HOPING and WISHING would be eliminated wasn't. Some teams had some real struggles, with the language, with directions, even with just getting along with each other. I'm amazed with all the time they were in Sao Paolo, Brazil, going all over town in several taxis, most of the teams were trying to communicate in Spanish. Only a couple of the teams knew or figured out that Portuguese is the language of Brazil, not Spanish. And none of the taxi drivers or people they met corrected them. I know they didn't know where they were going ahead of time, but I would find someway to include a book (there has to be one somewhere) that lists the languages of every country, since they knew they would be going all over the world this time, not just in North America.

Lastly, Supernatural...which I haven't watched. I had to tape that, because obviously I couldn't watch that while I was watching two other shows at the same time, lol. I watch Supernatural because I think it's very fascinating, and it doesn't hurt that one of the lead characters is a real hottie!! Click for Jensen's website.

Anyway, off to bed. Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!

Ugly Ugly Monday Today


Ugh! Today's a nice day to stay in bed! I didn't post last night because I ended up watching something on tv that I hadn't planned on watching. My "plan" was to watch Cold Case at 7pm, then catch the rerun of Supernatural at 8pm. That would leave me with an hour to do whatever (read, blog, etc) until 10pm when I would go to bed.

The best laid plans...Cold Case started late because golf ran late during the afternoon. So when I went to switch over to Supernatural, I would miss the last 15 minutes or so. Well! The WB decided NOT to air Supernatural, instead they aired Charmed, which I'm just as happy watching, but not what I WANTED to watch. I switched back to watch the end of Cold Case and decided to watch the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie on CBS, The Water Is Wide. It was a very good movie about a teacher on an island off the coast of South Carolina. By the time that was done, it was 10:15. So much for free time, lol

I then read for a bit and went to bed. Traffic was a b*tch this morning, took me an hour and 15 minutes, and most of that was spent sitting in stop and go heavy delays on one road that has been "wide open" for weeks. There were no accidents to report, absolutely no reason why traffic was so backed up. I think I'll go send a nasty message to the Governor and to ITA (Illinois Tollway Authority) to let them know how well "Open Road Tolling" is working.

It's Friday! It's Friday! Friday Friday Friday!!!


Can you tell I'm happy?? It's finally Friday, and I finally got my cable back last night! I was SO happy! I watched CSI, then a very interesting documentary about North Korea.

Tonight I'm going out to dinner and a movie with a girlfriend! We're going to see Glory Road, definitely NOT a chick flick, but it's one we both want to see and have no one to go with, except each other. Should be a fun night!

Wednesday is over, the weekend's almost here!


This will be short since I'm posting from work. I had a dentist appt last night, went very well. No Cavaties! Got there early and chatted with the receptionist, a very nice lady. I was planning on hanging out at the local Hallmark store to pass the time, but when I got there I found out it was GONE! I haven't been there in quite a few months, but it was disappointing to see it gone. I know the owner by name, and I remember when he opened it back in maybe 1996/97? The lady at the dentist's office thinks some of the Hallmark stores are closing because more and more people are buying their cards from Target/Wal Mart or when they are at their local grocery store. They all carry cards of every kind, so it's more convenient than running out separately to a Hallmark store. Still sad to see the business leave Warrenville. I think that was the only Hallmark store in town.

So I got home and my cable was STILL out. No DooL to watch, no AI, nuttin. So I caught up on my emails, played more Chicken Invaders on the computer (lol), then watched Notting Hill again! I LOVE that movie.

No Cable In My Entire Complex


Wow, is it only Tuesday? Today went by very quickly, was very busy at work today, trying to get everything done that I didn't get done yesterday. I succeeded! On the way home I was going to stop at Target and do some shopping, but I changed my mind. I decided to do it tomorrow night after my dentist appt. Just a cleaning, so I'll be out of there in 20 minutes.

Got home, with the plan of watching American Idol. Lo and behold, no cable. I put in the tape that was supposed to have taped Days of Our Lives this afternoon from 1-2pm, and nothing but snow. So my cable has been out since before 1pm. As of right now, it's still out. I called the cable company, but they were already aware of the outage and supposedly are working on it. They said it's out in Country Lakes (me) and Greens of Naperville (some buildings that were G of N, but are now part of Country Lakes). So apparently, something major must have happened. Someone must have cut a cable when they were digging, or something. Otherwise, why would half the street be out?

So with no tv to watch tonight, I played on the computer for a bit. I've gotten hooked on a game you can play online through MSN, probably Yahoo too. It's called Chicken Invaders. It's a variation of the old Space Invaders, but instead of invading ships, there are invading chickens that you have to shoot. They fly down, they parachute down, they come down as hatching eggs, it's quite entertaining, lmao. After playing that for about an hour, I decided to watch a movie until bedtime.

Over the weekend, a couple of cable channels were playing some Julia Roberts movies, TBS was showing Erin Brockovich, and another channel was showing Pretty Woman. Well that got me in the mood to see another Julia Roberts movie, one of my absolute favorites of all time, Notting Hill. So I took the opportunity to watch it tonight. Every time I watch it, I get teary eyed, my heart breaks every time they say goodbye, even though I know they'll be together at the end. I loved it so much, I wanted to watch it again as soon as it was over. My favorite line from the movie is: I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love me.

That makes my heart break every time I hear it. It is so romantic! I'm still waiting for someone to say something like that to me. One day, maybe...

It's Almost Friday!


Today was beautiful, mostly sunny, upper 40's, very nice weather for January. After such a cold start to winter at the beginning of December, the last month has been unseasonably warm. Wonder what that means for Spring and Summer???

I stopped on the way home to fill my car with gas, which I do about every 5 days. Gas is costing about $2.28 per gallon here. I think that's about $0.60 per litre. Kerry check my math, lmao (1 gallon is about 3.75 litres?)

I was planning on watching a rerun episode, that I had not seen, of CSI:NY at 7pm, but instead it was a rerun episode of CSI, which I had seen. So I dozed for about 15 minutes, then read some emails, then watched a new CSI episode at 8pm. ER was a rerun, so I switched over to CNN to watch Anderson Cooper 360. He is in New Orleans, still working to find out why so many people there don't have assistance from FEMA. He spoke to the President of Bernard Parrish, who bought 6500 trailers, at a savings of almost $3000 versus the FEMA trailers. Bernard Parrish doesn't have the money themselves to pay for this, and they figured FEMA would be glad to pay for them, seeing as how they're saving them so much money.

You'd think, huh?? Nope! FEMA is now stating that there are too many roadblocks, red tape, regulations, etc for them to install the trailers. $3000 per trailer savings for 6500 trailers. Do the math! That's over $18 million dollars in savings for FEMA, and they are stonewalling! Meanwhile, the ship that is currently holding several hundred New Orleans residents is set to leave port the end of February. Where are these people supposed to go? Apparently, it will be YEARS before enough trailers could be made to house everyone who needs one. Un-freaking-believeable that in this day and age, with all the technological advances, that we have a government this callous as to leave these people homeless after all these months.
