NACHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Rules of the game: Don't utter a word. Don't make a sound... or you lose.
Seong vs. RiannOkay, so enter....
OMG! We were rollin'. I was dying. I was crying. It was all over, I thought, but they didn't budge. So, Joe brought out his secret weapon. Can you imagine? Yeah, you can. There are pictures, but I'll just let you picture it yourself. Still...nothing. Not a peep out of them. Not even Pat's bongo playing got to them.
[
a beat]
"BURP!"
Joe to Riann: Did you just burp?
Riann: Uh, huh.
Joe: Riann, why don't you not follow the rules?
Oops.
New game?
Let's play, where's Kay?
Answer: She's at home watching food network, HGTV and Bravo courtesy of Seong. Thanks for letting us take over your apartment. Next toy on the wishlist, a projector.
I like how we had this huge wall-sized video screen to life size everything, yet we were content and still having fun playing each other on our Nintendo DS lites. Again, how old are we?
Zzzzz...Zzzzz...Zzzzz...
Zzzzz...Zzzzz...Zzzzz...
late night delerium/boredom
It's
Thursday. When did that happen?
I'm just bored at work again and when I'm bored at work I'll either actually do something productive like stock our med room with syringes, tubes and stuff, or I'll sit here on the computer and browse the world wide web.
One of my favorite sites right now is
www.howstuffworks.com. If you click on the site, it'll tell you how alcohol works. Basically, and we all knew this, alcohol turns your brain off.
I looked up fevers, printed it out and gave it to a patinet who went "ahhhh," as in light bulb moment.
Interesting stuff.
F*ck Cancer!That's what one of my patients says. Check out his story at
www.F*ckCancer.com.
Looked up more stuff on the web after this.
You know you're addicted to LOST when...(Fill in the blank)
...you enter your patient's room to fix the IV and look up at the TV only to suddenly plug your ears and turn away because LOST is just about done and is doing it's, "On the next LOST" bit.
That one was mine tonight at work.
Found others from others...
...you start giving your friends odd nicknames such as the ones from the show.. like freckles, or mr. clean.
...you take the time to learn how to say Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.
...you play "the Numbers" in the lottery knowing that even if you win you'll only win a couple hundred bucks because everybody is playing "the Numbers."
...every time you write LOST on a website you write it in capitals.
...you have nightmares that the others will come and get you.
...when you stay up all night watching the first season on DVD. (Ummmm....yeah!)
And found more TV crack, Veronica Mars.
I always heard it was a really good show but never gave it a chance. It was on UPN, but is now on the CW and in it's 3rd season. If you liked the game, Clue or solving mysteries, then this is kind of a cool show to catch.
Veronica is a detective. She's witty, quick on her feet, clever and sarcastic. I don't think she can kick butt like Sydney Bristow could but she's close.
This season she started college and is trying to find out who is raping classmates while also solving other crimes she charges $500 bucks for. It's Tuesday nights at 9pm on the CW. I know, I know. I can already hear you. Damn you, Gwennie! Not another new show to get hooked on. =)
In Veronica Mars-related news, one of the writer on that show is creating another promising new show about girls with superpowers. It's being billed as, Sex in the City meets Batman.
How cool does that sound?
Grey's quotes
Little bored at work so I looked up some quotes. Found them
here, here, and
here.
"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away."
-Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy
Favorite line from Grey's 3x04 "Who am I?":
McSteamy: How's my favorite dirty ex-mistress?
Meredith (high on morphine): Haven't you heard? I'm now an adulterous whore.
Line from "Yesterday":
George-Why is he suturing his own face?
Xtina-To turn me on.
Alex-'Cause he's Mark Slone, he's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the east coast.
George-That's the guy Addison was sleeping with?
Izzy-Can't really blame her, can you?
Xtina-No, not really.
George-Yes you can.
Meh-McSexy wants an x-ray to check for fractures and I think it's a bad idea if I take him.
George-Why?...Why?
Alex-I'm on it.
George-Why is it a bad idea?
Xtina-McSexy?
Meh-No?
Izzy-McYummy!
Meh/Xtina-No.
Meh-McSteamy.
Xtina-Ah, there it is.
Izzy-Yep.
George-(mumbles)...Just choking back some McVomit.
Don't know which episode this is from, but it's funny:
Christina: I need a drink, a man, or a massage. Or a drunken massage by a man.
Bebot: Gen.1 & Gen.2
Some things have changed and others haven't. That's what I came away with from my return visit to KABA.
Before we went to the meeting, Pat and I stopped at South Coast Plaza. As we came up the escalator at Macy's we heard kids, lots of them and they were all doing the scream...pause...squeel...pause...scream some more thing. I'm thinking, What the hell? I thought it was some kind of fashion show or talent showcase the OC parents were putting their kiddos through. But Pat thought otherwise and we went to investigate. We came across a sign that said, "Hillary Duff Fragrance." Oh, God! We turned the corner to see...
Miss Hilary signing autographs and taking pictures with fans to promote her new fragrance line,
with Love... Hilary Duff.
Oh, geez...while I hold back on some, as George would say...McVomit.
Moving on to the main event: Bebot-discussed, dissected and debated.
Pat and the crew of BEBOT were invited to discuss and premeire the music video to KABA. Joe, Riann, Fantone, JoeMaMa and I went to support. I don't know if anyone else felt this way, but being there felt a little bit like a strange dream or flashback. You know, the ones where you observe something, want to manipulate it but can't dreams? Anyway, the new board and members were welcoming and greeted us with an energy of excitement that was nice to see.
Much of their meeting format was the same. Others were different. Instead of having Joe have to tag or write on the chalkboard, their agenda was on powerpoint. They had a pretty good turn out for week 3. As Riann pointed out, we could look out into the crowd and pick out people there that reminded us of people from when we were in school...counterparts. One real counterpart we ran into was JP's little brother, (Sorry, buddy...don't know your name).
They concluded their meeting and introduced the crew of BEBOT.
Yay, for Pat! He was a "special guest."
We watched the making of the video, the behind the scenes stuff that included Pat's interview about his creative input and the process he went through to create the BBQ party and backyard family party scenes. Then we watched both versions of the video. BTW, if you haven't seen the video, I think you can check it out on
AJ's website or
Patricio's website.Then...they brought up and read the OPEN LETTER.
I didn't know there was an open letter. I thought it was just going to be a fun event to showcase some talent and provide an outlet for those that may want to join the industry some day.
Oh, but this is KABA.
I guess there's always some kind of political undercurrent running beneath the surface of these things.
As Xavier, the TDB president of KABA read the letter, the energy in the room shifted. I thought, Oh, no. Here we go.
Blah, blah, blah...
Blah, blah, blah..
Blah, blah, blah...
So, Pat did a good job answering his questions. Good job, roommie!
That's all I have to say about that.
If you see Joe and Riann, tell them to tell you about their newest record shopping experience. I was laughing so hard, I felt a little light headed and even a little nauseous. Nice one.
House Party x2
My Mom is superwoman. She hosted two parties in the same day with almost no sleep from the evening before. Lucky me, I unexpectedly got the day off and had to help out.
Party #1: Baby shower for breakfast
Mom likes to clean. She cleans like Monica on "Friends" cleans. When I was younger I learned to put my things away because if I didn't, they'd get thrown away in the trash by Mom. Mom does the same thing at work. It's one of the reasons why so many of the nurses decided to come to Cathy's baby shower. They wanted to see Yoli's "clean" house.
Cathy is like a daughter to my mom. I don't know what my parents were thinknig, but I could have been named Liberty beacuase I was born on the Fourth of July. Thank goodness I wasn't named that. Cathy's daughter's name is Lauren. Mom says that also should have been my name because my dad's name is Laurencio.
It was your typical baby shower...food, games, karaoke and the crazy Auntie doing the dance.
Whoever sucked the memosa out of the baby bottle first, won. I didn't suck. =)
I got alot of the, "You're a nurse like your mom, huh?" and the "So, how do you like work?" inquest. To which I replied, "Work is work, play is fun."
Party #2: October birthday party
Mmmmm...cupcakes. There's a bakery in Camarillo called, Bread Basket that makes yummy cakes and cupcakes. An employee left that company and created his own in Oxnard called, Flour House and that's just as yummy. All I did was eat all day long. There goes five more pounds. Oy!
How many times did we watch Dancing with the Stars? OMG! They had it on at the beginning of the party and at the end for those that didn't see it earlier. Then, they played it again during the second party. Ah! That's Dad's fault. Reality freak!
Happy 59th birthday, Dad!!!
Glad to be LOST again
Happy to get lost again and I know it's only a tease. LOST will be back with new shows for 6 weeks and then go on hiatus to return sometime after the holidays to finish up the season without repeats. Damn you, JJ!
"As it goes on this season, especially where it goes, I'm looking forward not to just directing an episode down the line but -- we have a structure in place for the remainder of the year, and I think when we get to the end of the season it's such an exciting an unbelievable conclusion ... I would love to be able to work on the finale...I wish I could promise you that we're not going to make you crazy. I'm sorry."
-JJ Abrams, from Zap2it.com
Thanks to Bev for making her famous spagetti. I'm sure it was very yummy. And Strawberries and bananas with rum, who knew?
