Guess where I just got back from? Guess. HeadStart! TaDa! I went! Unfortunately, the contact woman that I had there was out of the office today. Figures.

So, I just about had to change my boxer shorts. I JUST got home and walked back to the kitchen to get something to drink (It's a SCORCHER out there!) and I hear "Hi" - it freaked me out. I didn't expect Brian to be here because he temped today and it isn't even 5pm yet. CRAZY MAN WILSON strikes again!

Watch the trailer for this movie called "DUMMY". As if the fact that it stars Adrien Brody (I saw him first!) isn't reason enough to go see it, Milla (Ok, if you haven't heard her album [The Divine Comedy] you're doing yourself a great disservice. It's REALLY good.) and Illeana Douglas are in it and it looks REALLY funny. Plus, ADRIEN BRODY is in it.

Have you SEEN Mars yet? If not, DO IT TONIGHT. Your next chance to see it this close-up again won't be until 2287. (In case it hasn't dawned on you yet, that's a LONG time from now...)

I woke up this morning and turned on the TV to watch "A Makeover Story" on TLC and found out that our satellite service had been shut off due to non-payment. I went online, checked our bank balance, figured out that we could get away with paying the minimum in order to get our service restored and then remembered what DishNetwork told me last month: "You can only pay the minimum to have your satellite service restored ONE TIME. Next time, you'll have to pay the balance IN FULL in order for us to resume your service..." CRAP. Well, they underestimated the power of ME - I've been working my charms and spouting sob stories for YEARS - it got me through college. The first guy that I talked to told me that there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING he could do as the computer wouldn't accept any payment lower than the total balance. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Well, you just KNOW that there is ALWAYS a way around standard operating procedure - please, don't treat me like an amateur! The supervisor told me there was nothing that she could do and I said, "Well, could I play a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card?" Then, I launched into the tale of the repairperson coming out a couple of weeks ago without the replacement receiver that we were promised (for the whole story, go back a couple of weeks' posts). SURE ENOUGH, she broke down. I paid half of what we owe and promised to pay the other half on Friday - which I'm PRETTY SURE we can handle financially...

On this morning's "A Dating Story" on TLC, this guy took his date skydiving. It made me REALLY want to do it again. A couple of years ago, when we might have been able to afford it, I called a couple of places around the Bay Area that do skydiving just to get some prices. I couldn't find a place that did static line jumps, though - that's what I did back in Indiana and it was AMAZING. I just don't want to jump out of a plane strapped to someone else. That's just weird. Plus, it would ruin the whole solitary/meditative aspect of the whole experience.

I'm sick of all of the California recall election coverage and I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA. I can't imagine how annoying it would be to someone who doesn't even live here. It's one of CNN's Top Stories every hour. Oh, and they showed the results of some lousy poll yesterday that said that a majority of registered voters would vote for Schwarzen-crapper. Well, of course they would since you're providing him with ALL of this free publicity! I think "True Lies" is a kick butt movie, but I so don't want that conservative bastard as my Governor. Heck, I wouldn't even vote for Keri Russell.
