Movie Limbo...and other randomness on my mind

2010-08-08T20:37:00.001-07:00

So, have you ever wanted to go see a movie that just came out but you were always too busy to hit up a matinee? (Cuz WTF those evening prices are out of control!) Yeah, well, a few times, when I finally get around to it, I've jumped online to see what time the movie starts and hey? Uh...no show times...So,of course I'm thinking it's at the dollar movies since it's no longer playing in the new theaters and guess what? It's not there either! Where the movies disappear to, I have no idea. Therefore, I have dubbed the temporary abyss as "Movie Limbo". Movie Limbo can be a pain sometimes. Especially if you've spent all day convincing your husband that it's worth it to spend 50 dollars for two hours of entertainment...anyways, just a thought. Moving on.

3D movies...Step up 3? Seriously? Ok Hollywood, listen up. If you wanna make a ton of money using the 3D technology here's how you do it...Jude law. Half naked. No, no, 3/4ths, walking around for two hours...or have him look into the camera and just have him say positive affirmations. Like, "Yes, you're so beautiful...I want to kiss you...I want to..." Eh hem, Sorry. No, it's not like I've thought about it. Anyways, THAT's the kinda 3D movie women wanna pay for...or..would.

Ladies and Gentleman...There is still a Douche amongst us...

2010-07-16T14:24:00.000-07:00

So, I can't even believe I didn't tell you all about the adventures of having Doctor Douche work at the hospital a while back, but that's a whoooooooole 'nother story. In fact, it's like...a whole 'nother blog site! Anyways, just be aware that when this one dude whom I've always referred to as "Doctor Douche" was fired by my company, I thought that all the shadiness that happened when he was around would disappear with him. He was a lunch thief...among other things..and he must've rubbed off on someone else because guess what? He's gone...and so is my lunch! Twice. Here's what happened...

Yesterday, I was in a rush and decided I didn't have time to prepare a healthy lunch and get my baby to daycare in 15 minutes. So, I just grabbed two slices of left over pizza (Hawaiin btw) and shoved it in a big ziplock bag and drove off to work. Well, when I first arrived, I just wrote my name on the bag of pizza in HuGe LeTteRs (and come on...could you seriously mix the name "Heiporo" up with anyone else?) and put my lunch in the fridge. Not even an hour rolled by and I realized I was pretty freaking hungry cuz I hadn't eaten any breakfast so I went to the break room to get one slice to hold me over and guess what? Someone had eaten one of my slices of pizza! WTF?!?!?!

You think that it ends there? No. The previous day I had gone home sick and left my leftover spaghetti lunch in the fridge. So, being that one of my slices of pizza had been eaten, I opted for my left over spaghetti. (Also clearly labeled as property of HEIPORO). And guess what? Some mofo ate my spaghetti and put the empty container back in the fridge! Double WTF?!?!?!? Yeah.

So I'm thinking that I will randomly booby trap my lunches and see if I can catch the jerkface. Cuz like I was thinking...Steal from me once Lunch Thief...Shame on you...But steal from me TWICE? It...Is...On.

An update...

2010-05-10T13:47:00.000-07:00

So it has been over a year since I last blogged...WEIRD. The last time I posted pictures, I was just a working wife and student. Now, Troy and I have a baby. A BABY! And she's five months old! Whoa...So yesterday was my first Mother's Day. It was pretty much awesome. I got me some lovely black diamond earrings from my kick A husband and some beautiful white pearls from my precious little girl, Sophie. So I was thinking today that it kinda sucks that there isn't like a "Daughter's Day" or "Son's Day". I'm sure kids could score some sweet presents with that. Hmmm, what else has been going on?...Oh yes, I have been enjoying my life at work more since an employee whom I loathed with every fiber of my being has been fired. He was a creeper.

I watched a good forty minutes of Cooking Live with Gordon Ramsay. It makes me feel all motivated to cook something extravagant and then I realize that when I get home from work, I'll probably just sit on the couch and ask my husband "what's for dinner" and then make some whiny noises because I don't feel like doing anything, especially making dinner.

I've been spending a lot of time with my friend D. We see each other like ev-er-y day and it has made my life more adventurous and fun. We've emabarked on this stupid quest of mine to do P90x every day...well, sort of...and we've been doing it for about a week. It's been going well so far. We take turns complaining about working out. While we're watching one of the dvds, I'll say something like, "I think I'm gonna die...I hate you Tony Horton" and D will step in and be like, "Keep going! Come on Heiporo, just another half hour." Then when D complains she...well, I can't remember how she complains but I'm sure she does. How can anyone not when they make you do lunges that absolutely kill you?

Well, I'm sure there are more interesting things I could say that would let people know how my life has changed over the last year, but sleep depravity is kicking in. So...til next year. :)

Fun Times

2009-03-31T20:50:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a while since I've updated my blog and I'm doing in part to satisfy my friend Jolee. I'm really going to try hard to get caught up on all the events that have been going on. Anyways, A few weeks ago Troy and I got to go to the Thriving Ivory concert! It was definitely rad and this is the second time we've gotten to see them in concert. A few bands opened for them, the first one I won't even mention their names it was that bad. But, they were followed by Company of Thieves--a very talented group from Chicago, and State of Shock who were AWESOME!

Here's a picture of me with the band State of Shock

Troy is definitely a fan too...lol

Wasted...Or what I'm sure it feels like

2008-10-13T07:14:00.001-07:00

I woke up early this morning...Five fricken thirty in the morning. I had to drive my husband to work. When I got home the worst thing happened to me. I couldn't go back to sleep. You wanna know WHY? Cuz I kept thinking to myself, as I lay in bed, 'go to sleep.'And I couldn't! I didn't sleep very much last night because I kept telling myself the same dang thing! GO TO SLEEP! Besides downing a bottle of nyquil, I tried everything! I played some music in my head, switched positions a million times, got on the couch to get comfortable. Now, as I sit here at work, I gotta keep telling myself WAKE UP! So I figure I have two options-- go to bed a lot earlier and hopefully I'll get bored enough to go to sleep, or take up drinking coffee...I bought a pound of folger's this morning...just kidding.

The Curse...

2008-10-11T23:01:00.000-07:00

I'm cursed...I am 99% sure of it. Have you ever gone out to dinner with a group of friends or just on a date and somehow YOU are the one who ALWAYS ends up with the stray hair in your food??? This has happened to me...consecutively for the past-- you know I lost track of how many times it's happened to me. But frankly, I don't know that I can eat out anymore. What the freak happened? Shouldn't people be wearing hats or hair nets or something?Or how about full on body suits?! I swear, every restaurant chain has sent out a memo that says, "Psssttt, put a hair in 'this' girl's food." When you find a hair in your food, shouldn't you get your meal free? Well, I definitely think so but you know what I say? Don't do it...take the money...take the money and walk away because you know you're not gonna want to eat the dang food! Cuz now you're paranoid! What if something else falls in your food?! HUH? What are you THINKING! You're CURSED! If you're always gettin the stray hairs in your food, poison is not far off...

Solutions...

2008-10-09T09:30:00.000-07:00

Have you ever heard that the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors can solve most of your problems when you and your significant other are fighting over who has to do what chore? Yeah well, not true...because we're both just too lazy to even play the game to solve our problems. For the last four nights me and my husband have been sleeping on our blow-up air mattress in our living room. Our clean clothes have taken over our usual quarters and neither of us is stepping up to reclaim our space...I don't know how long this will drag out-- all of the fart noises being made whenever someone shifts into a different position is keeping me awake. But, I think I've found a solution! I plan on moving the clothes to just my husband's side of the bed tonight...he's sure to put them away.

Stupid, stupid question kid...

2008-10-07T17:34:00.000-07:00

I've decided to start a new quest. It seems that I am forced to put my attempts of ridding the world of garden gnomes on hold. I fear my new mission however will be futile--attempting to silence the stupid, stupid question kid who occupies a seat in my science class. Today, more than ever, I wished I could shove his face closer to the mixture of hydrogen and ammonium chloride that my professor mixed in a Petri dish.

"Don't inhale that!" Dr. Stephens yelled as he pushed stupid, stupid question kid back into his seat.

"Why aren't you supposed to mix hydrogen and ammonium chloride?" asks stupid, stupid question kid.

That's when I felt my hand silently creep towards the back of his neck. I caught myself just before my hand reached the top of his chair.

Why don't you inhale and SEE why we don't mix the two together you oblivious moron!

Fortunately, I didn't think this out loud... unlike the last class period I experienced with him. I'm positive that my malice towards his stupid, stupid questions is quite apparent. I don't hide the fact that I despise his presence. Especially when I am particularly interested in a topic being discussed by the Doctor and stupid, stupid question kid interrupts...

"Force equals mass times acceleration." says Dr. Stephens.

Stupid, stupid question kid doesn't bother waiting to be called on before the words escape his mouth, "So what you're saying is, FORCE equals MASS times ACCELERATION?"

Son of a freaking hairy goat! Where is this idiot from?! Is this class supposed to be my own personal hell?! He keeps tacking on the words, "So what you're saying is..." to the very beginning of the professor's statement!

I am still in my science class and there is but an hour to go...I'm not sure that I'll survive the dense air of stupidity that is creeping towards me from across the aisle. The professor has just brought out a bucket of liquid nitrogen and stupid, stupid question kid is dangerously close to the demo...perhaps the force of gravity will for once be on my side and pull his dumb head into the bucket...If this doesn't happen, I'd gladly settle for him to experience an illness that would keep him from attending class for the next few weeks...

Can't fix it...

2008-10-04T08:41:00.000-07:00

So today I'd say is pretty frustrating for me...I've been attempting to download a new page layout for my blog and have failed consecutively. I wish I had a blog guru to walk me through it. Today it's raining! I definitely think that it's going to help me write some more of my stories. *fingers cross.
