Unconscious Mutterings, Week 276:
My Prince has been busy with work, so I didn’t get to see him this week. That’s all. End of story.
10:20 AM
It’s so nice to be doing memes again. Now that my weekends are free, I’ll doing this regularly–if only once a week.
It was so nice spending yesterday with My Prince. We hung out for a while at a coffee shop (mm–white mocha!) and then walked (in the rain) for about 45 min (hey, rain exhilarates me). to the movie theather where we watched The Forbidden Kingdom. It was awesome!!! I want it when it comes out on DVD. The Prince liked it, too. Then, since we needed to kill some time, we waited to watch Iron Man. That was when we met C4 and her man coming out from just seeing–guess…–Iron Man! My Prince had wanted to see that one, as well, so they convinced me it was worth watching. After buying tickets, we were taken out for a quick lunch by C4 and her man and then dropped back off at the theater. Iron Man wasn’t as bad as I had expected. (I’m terribly suspicious of movies that get lots of hype in the media).
Following the movie, we went over to my Sisters of the Grand Cauldron of Mischief. Yay! They finally met my Prince! And they got along SO well! Actually, it kind of scares me how well they got along. They actually teamed up to tease me at one point. Don’t those girls realize I know where they sleep?
Well, that’s all for now. Enjoy the memes below. I’m going to eat some of that deliciousness my Prince cooked for me.

Unconscious Mutterings, Week 255:
*yawn* I’m off to bed.
09:38 PM
1. Snow is cold but fun.
2. I’m looking forward to Yochanan’s return!
3. Princess Bride is the best romantic comedy ever!
4. One of my favorite old tv shows is I Love Lucy.
5. I’m done with stupid people (I wish).
6. The most enjoyable thing around the holidays is the food!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to checking out shows on our new 30-day trial with DirectTV, tomorrow my plans include work/shul/rest and Sunday, I want to take a bubble bath!
Imah just signed us up for a 30-day trial of DirectTV. Wow. I knew she was getting bored spending so much time in bed (from fatigue and various ailments). I didn’t think she was that bored, though. I guess she needed more to complain about. Decrying the evils of the three channels we did get wasn’t enough for her. She had to go and get more corrupting channels (behind my back naturally). I tell her: "Why don’t you just turn it off?" Oh, that’s right–she’s bored. Argh. Naturally, I am opposed to this. So, she’s attempting to bribe me by getting DirectTV on the TV upstairs (that’s never used because it doesn’t get any channels–the TV is older than I am). I don’t like the idea of paying for it when I could be saving the money for cooler stuff like high-tech gadgets. Sorry, John McClane, you’re not that important. I mean, it’s not like I can take the TV with me when I’m gone (which I am half+ the time) like I can with my cellphone/texter/game-player/internet Katana or my CD player (which I’d like to replace with a MP3 player).
I have too much reading to do, too many stories to write, too much music to listen and dance to. *sigh* It’s only 30 days…I hope. I’m going back to watch Die Hard upstairs now.

week of December 16 2007:
Happy Holidays random word association I say, you think:
1. santa: hat (they’re cute)
2. holiday carols: Nothing beats "I have a little Dreidel"
3. snow: Makes me think of the song "Snow" on the movie White Christmas with Bing Crosby. (That movie is hilarious!)
4. mistletoe: ick–don’t make me whack you with a bough of your Christmas tree!
5. season: holidays
6. candy cane: peppermint–good for upset stomach
7. eggnog: *gag*
8. presents: 8–one for each day of Chanukkah!
You know what’s funny…when Chanukkah was ended, I was surprised to still see decorations all around town. It wasn’t until I declared to my Girlz that I would dedicate a certain tree decked in all blue lights to the Prince of Arrakis as a Chanukkah tree that I realized my folly. Duh! They may be called Holiday decorations, but they’re still just for Christmas. Nothing like your friends laughing at you to set you straight. LOL!
Anyway…*sigh* I’m afraid I haven’t been able to blog much lately. Life sometimes, augh. First, I was sick, then things started piling up on me. Eek! It didn’t help my mental state when Yochanan was unable to email me for a while. Fortunately, the Prince of Arrakis has found a new internet cafe from which he can continue to share the wealth of his knowledge and creativity with me. 
Meanwhile, I’ve been deluging myself with music by Sarah Brightman, Bond, and Moby, reading Dune, and watching DVDs based on the books by James Herriot (loving it!). I just picked up Angel, Season 1 from the library–on impulse. I hope it doesn’t scare me too much.
I’m also in the process of getting Israeli dancing started at my synogogue. Feedback has been very positive and enthusiastic. We may even take occasional "field trips" to the dance in Tacoma. Yay! Can’t wait to get started! I just need my CD back that Her Majesty was fixing for me.
There’s a big, all-store review coming up at work on Tuesday. It has the bosses in a tizzy, and their nervousness has infected me. I hope that’s not why my tummy was upset today. I thought I was passed that. I haven’t made myself physically sick by anxiety since junior high. (No, I still don’t take pressure well. I recall hide-and-seek with horror. "Blast it! Just find me already! I can’t take this anymore!")
It seems whatever the Prince suggests I must do. Though I’ve been considering trying yoga for some time, it wasn’t until Yochi suggested it that I actually took the action off placing holds at the library on anything yoga.
As for other social matters, Imah and I have upgraded our phone plan to include unlimited texting and internet! Yay! We have also gotten myspace IM.
Just for fun, here’s what ringtones I’ve downloaded since getting my Katana:
Allegretto by Bond, Bad Day by Daniel Powter, Deliver Me by Sarah Brightman, Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, Explosive by Bond, Fuego by Bond, Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira, Imperial March from Star Wars, Israel National Anthem, Pink Panther Theme, Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna, Suerte by Shakira, Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, Phantom of the Opera, The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani. Nice, diverse set, eh?
I really need to keep myself well rested for that store review. Laila tov!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to shul, tomorrow my plans include coffee highs and Sunday, I want to meme!
Oh! The mixed feelings. I love November. I almost hate for it to end. But end it must if I want the future to come. I do want it to come. Oh, how I do want it. I’m going to be a very busy lady this winter season (for the next two months, to be precise). Good thing, though. I won’t suffer from the pressure of waiting if I can keep busy.
All for now! Shalom!
