and since my lovely Spudguns, I have cut my coffee intake down to half; that coffee will not be had until I drag my ass out of the house in order to get one.
Good way to make sure I stick with it. Don't keep any in the house.
Actually, I'm not keeping anything in the house, and no for those keeping watch I still have not stepped foot in my kitchen. That's like ... yeah I know.
Something woke me at 3am. The whole scratchy issue. And if you're new to this here bloggy-blog, there's an omen about your true love and the right side of your body itching. But it was 45minutes man, so needless to say, haven't had much sleep.
Yesterday was an interesting and semi-full day.
ExpressCheckOut-Guy was acting odd and had a new hairdo. Thought he looked spiffy actually.
Caught the movie The Change Up. I was the only woman in the cinema and the only straight person. Seriously, it was me and two rows of gay men sitting in the screening room of the new Ryan Reynolds film. Pretty much all you have to say "new Ryan Reynolds film" and you understand why I found myself surrounded by 7 gay men.
And can I just say, I thought way back when that the screaming teenaged girls at Twilight was loud and giddy but they do not hold a candle to a bunch of gay twentysomething guys.
Switching gears here on you, I did get to catch this past WWE's Raw on replay yesterday afternoon. Thought the CM Punk -puking was a riot.

Dear TNA Spudguns:
Okay, just caught last week's episode {Aug 25th 2011 episode} and have this question... Why was the A.J. Styles stuff reversed?
Styles had his match, THEN the segment where he came out to talk to Daniels aired. Which the announce team commented that the match was about to happen in a few minutes. Dudes in the production crew, you've got to get on the ball a bit better.
These screw ups on the website, I have to wonder since I do not have cable - still- if the screw ups are only on the Spike site or if they aired on television too?
And they seem to be happening alot lately. This is like a month straight where there has been something out of place or repeated or frozen. Do we need to get new production staff or is because of the tapes themselves?
It would be nice to have one day per week that the show is uploaded too by the by. Sometimes it's there the next day {Fridays} sometimes it's a Monday or Tuesday. Sometimes it's the next week's Thursday. Please, pick a day for the upload and maybe have a small banner or something on the Spike site that says when it will be available on the site to watch. Specially on the weeks that there is a ppv. On the rare off chance I'd be able to order a ppv, it would be nice to see the show before hand not after.

Book Dork Is In Aug 2011
Previously on the book dork, your heroine and heroin was .... You know Spudguns, I don't even remember what was happening the last time around and I'm too lazy to sift through the blog to find the last Book Dork post.
Book club today went swimmingly well. After months of people making empty promises that they would show and not doing so, I thought this would be my last attempt and would close the doors on it.
But, someone showed up! Bonus they read the novel too!
The newest member is a lovely lady who had been in book clubs before in her last city and understood the ups and downs of things. I have new hope now.
Yes, I know I've said that sort of in the past and have been brutally let down, but ... I'm in swell spirits on this one.
The book this time around had been Jane Austen's Persuasion. And it was a lovely chat about the characters, their quirks, and it spread into a few other Jane Austen novels that we'd read/seen the films for and compared.
This then lead to the next selection which will indeed be another Jane Austen novel... Sense and Sensibility. That will be October's selection.

Dear Spudguns:
Looks like it will be a lovely morning. Have reached chapter 12 of Persuasion, the part where Louisa falls. Very intense. Or you know not so much. Book club is tomorrow so I need to finish reading it tonight.
I did something the other night, on Thursday that I have done maybe once in my life, walked out in the middle of an episode of wrestling. There what last year I walked away from an episode of TNA but I finished watching it a few hours later. Thursday, I was watching WWE's NXT and I'd had enough. Soon as the Tyson Kidd match was over I just turned off the tv and that was that. Enough already and why the hell have we not had any eliminations in the last two months?
NXT has become the biggest waste of time in the last few weeks. Biggest waste.
I actually really like Tyson Kidd matches, he's one of the few that are worthy of a show. But it's the rest of the show that drives me to the remote.
In the immortal words of Blackadder's Bladrick, what we need is a cunning plan.
It's early, no real news and since I've cut back on my coffee intake in a desperate attempt to start eating better again, I tend to be in zombie mode more. The withdrawls are a bitch I'll tell you that.
Well, suppose I should read another few chapters and get ready to face the day.

Doctor Doctor
Well, I did not learn much at my appointment.
Nothing showed up on the x-rays, which is good. But that doesn't explain the lump or the swelling or the pain now does it?
I go back in in two weeks for yet another follow up. But my doctor did say it is going to be a chronic issue, as it seems to have something to do with the fact my knee does not line up with my foot. Short story on that is that when I was born, I was born with my hips out of the joint and ended up in a body cast. They set my one leg weird and my leg has always been frealed up. Seems over the years the pressure from the way I walk has made things worse. Yay me.
I can injure myself without trying. Do I get a gold star for that? Maybe a shiny belt? That TV title Eric Young is sporting would be a nice .... anyways that's about it.
No real reason for my current injury other then my having the O.I. Type One.

Its 4:44am where are you?
Or more likely to ask, what you doing?
Well Spudguns, Me- I am wide awake again this time because of a very spooky dream... of bears. Yes, bears. Big black bears.
So I've been searching online to find out what they mean as I think I should.
I have to go today to the doctor's again about my foot. Should be oodles of fun. I see in my future... more waiting. Waiting for the doctor. Waiting for a bus. But at lest I should know what the hell is wrong with it... should being the keyword.
Book Club is this weekend, on Sunday. I suppose it would be a good idea to finish reading Persuasion just in case someone actually shows up this time around. Got a few emails from people saying they are coming, but as we know that's happened before and on the day I've ended up sitting there like a dork waiting with my coffee getting stood up. Can you call it being stood up if it's not date related?
Okay, think I will try to get back to sleep now.

Seagulls and movies
I went to see Conan the Barbarian remake yesterday. It was in that dreaded 3D
Then I watched some seagulls while I was on the bus. Wondering what their story was. There was 3 of them, two white one speckled. The bus was at the city terminal and I had oodles of time to kill and for whatever reason these gulls got my attention.
Gull number one would walk a few feet pecking at the ground, with Gull #2 following. This of course would make #1 run faster. I think #1 was a scared male. Although he would run, he never ran completely or flew for that matter; just stayed a few feet away at all times. That's when Gull #3 showed up, the speckled one. Gull #3 was a few feet away from #1 at all times, but for some reason kept chasing away Gull #2. A jealous rival maybe? Then they sort of each went to one area on the parking lot and pecked the outline of the grass about ten feet away from the people waiting for the Crosstown. Hope none of the gulls ate anything bad like the cigarette butts. Then Gull #1 flew a few feet over the fence and just stood there, like he was daring the city to try to move him. That's a man for you eh? This of course left both Gulls #2 and #3 freaking out trying to catch up to him, and when they did, Gull #3 turned and started to squak at #2 hurting her feelings; yes I think the second one was a girl; cause she ran in the other direction before #3 the speckled Gull flew back to the parking lot. Then the bus took off and I didn't get to see what happened to them.
Movie was okay. You already know how I fee about 3D so there is no point in rehashing that right now.
Weird night as far as dreams went. I've been having this nightmare over and over all week. Not sleeping well.
Sidenote on the seagulls... they mate for life.
