Long time no post!  Haven't had much to say really, or the time to say it.  Not a lot going on yet time has marched forward.  My daughter and her bf moved out, finally.  That's a good thing!  I have been enjoying the silence and having less clutter around the house.  Things actually stay where they are unless, of course, a cat happens to knock things over.  It's nice to know my water bottles don't actually have legs.

The season finales of my favorite shows have left a hole.  Now I have to find something to do.  I have however, found myself hooked on "I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!".  What a train wreck of a show that is!  OMG  I don't even know why I watch it.  Well, yes I do, kinda.  It's hilarious!  Now that Spiedi is gone, Janice Dickenson is making the show for me.  She is such a lying bitch.  LOL  Bald-faced lies she tells!  And such a drama queen.  I actually voted to keep her on the show just so I can laugh at her.  I have no idea why Lou Diamond Phillips is on this show.  He is head and shoulders above the rest of the "celebrities".  I was stunned when I saw he was on it.  Glad he is though because he is the voice of reason in that whole camp.  I still can't believe I'm watching this drivel - is it January yet???

My friend Rachel came to visit over Memorial Day weekend - that was a blast.  We got tattoos.  Real ones.  And at 40, I'm still worried about what my mother will think when she finds out.  She and I haven't been getting along as famously as we once did.  Seems if I speak my mind, she cries.  But that is probably due to stresses in her life and I'm pretty sure she is depressed.  She's officially retired from teaching today.  I hope she finds something to do and doesn't sit around and wallow in self-pity.  So anyway - the tats I got are a bumble bee on my inner left wrist for my daughter.  I have called her Bee for a long time - long story on how that came about - and a dragonfly cat (black cat with blue wings) on my right shoulder.  My friend got a Celwar design on her lower back in red.  We have no idea what it means, but she thought it was pretty.  I told her it was the Celtic symbol for "whore".  LOL 

I really need to get back in the writing groove since I have a story that is yet unfinished.  The turn of events on 24 just really messed with my head so much that I haven't even thought of the damned thing in quite a while.  I need to rise above that and continue it though.  Perhaps some viewing of past seasons when things were as they should be will inspire me.  Fingers crossed!

To those who might actually read this rambling, I hope it finds you all well and enjoying life!

Spoilers for whatever spisode it is we just saw - I am too distraught to know what number it is right now.  Just be up to date with current airings if you are reading this.



( I just can't deal with this... )

So, I just deleted that other post because it melded with another post I never posted...Odd.  I don't have all the nuances of this down yet.

Anyway - what I was trying to say in the post I want to put out there is this.  Are iPods not the coolest?  Just got one a couple of weeks ago and I am totally enthralled.  I also and entranced with iTunes.  And having videos, tv shows and movies on said iPod?  How neat is that?  I downloaded my favorite episode of 24 (S01EP24).  Took me over
3 days to do so because I am still on dial up.  (Fixed that though - going to high speed next Friday - WOOT for me!)

So, the point of this post?  The 24 Remix EP I found on iTunes.  OMG is it cool!  I'm sure you all have already heard it and are probably thinking "Whatever - 2 years late" but still.  I adore the remixes!  The Benny Benassi "Lifesucks" version makes me want to dance with glow sticks.  LOL  The Towa Tei version just makes me happy with the signature "sniff" and heavy breathing.  I turn 14 when I hear that.  LOL 

Can't wait to find what else I've been missing out on - especially when I get high speed internet and can watch YouTube some where other than work...LOL  I may never sleep again.

And just as a side, though I don't think anyone would care - I don't know if I can finish my story after this week's episode of 24.  Tony doesn't deserve Jack!  Damn it all to hell.  But then again, that's not what writers do, is it?  I have to go back to the moment in time I set the story in, not the here and now because that's not where it is.  Still.  I have to stop being pissed at Tony first.

</div>

OMG Is it 9 PM YET?  I have tried to be so patient, but my patience is wearing thin.  NAKED KIEFER NIGHT!

Ahem.  I'm ok....no, not really.  How about now?  Is it 9 PM NOW?

UGH.

I am even going to brave going to my brother's house to watch it, something I would never normally do because he'd torture the hell out of me and not let me watch in silence.  The reason I choose this episode to watch at his place?  His 52" wide screen hi-def TV!  WOO HOO!!!!  I'll have it recording on my DVR at home to watch in peace when I come home, but I did not want to miss this opportunity....LOL  His kids will be in bed so he and the dog are my only concerns but he promised me faithfully he'd be good...before I reminded him it was NAKED KIEFER NIGHT!  His wife is cool - she'll smack him for me if I can't reach him.

Promise to act my age on Wednesday.

Enjoy everyone!

Ever have one of those stories that just won't do as you ask?  This is mine apparently.  I want it to go one way, it goes another.  Like I said in the beginning - it's a crap shoot for us all.  Thanks for sticking with it if you are so inclined to read more.

 

( Really? You want to? )

Song fic...Never wrote one before, but I just had to get this out.

OK, so on the way to work today I heard "Oh, Sherrie" by Steve Perry (former lead singer of Journey and the greatest rock vocalist of all time, imo) not once, but twice.  Seems 2 stations in my area have VERY similar set lists as this has happened more than once.  Anyway, being 24 obsessed, my depraved mind twisted this song - badly.  So much so that I giggled all the way to work and for about 30 minutes afterward until I realized I had to actually do my job.  It was all I could do to finish the day and come home to spew forth the depravity for all to behold.

So with apologies to Steve Perry and Sherrie, I give you...'Oh, Tony'

Um....Holy Crap anyone?  Next week's previews?  OMG  I wish I had the strength to not watch until the DVD comes out, but ALAS!  NO!  It is not meant to be.  Wow....just.....wow.


Is it Monday yet????>

Wow.  Now that episode was worth waiting for, imo.  Confrontational!Jack, Knife fight!Jack!  And he makes threatening a shop owner sexy..  Damn. 

Poor Renee.  She has no idea what she's gotten into.  But she's starting to. 

And is it me or does Dubaku's girlfriend look like an African-American Britney Spears?

No Tony though.  BOO!  Can't wait to see what he's been up to. 

I'm exhausted.

A/N:  Revised due to a very helpful review - thanks catch22girl !

So, very cool.  I was invited to join "Project Fox".  It's a forum to discuss with the Fox executives different marketing plans, etc for the different shows blah blah blah.  What I'm getting at is tonight I get to help them decided what extras to put on the Season 7 24 DVD and how the packaging should look!  Is that not awesome?  I think so anyway. 

Ok, so I am so new at this.  Obviously, it's my first post.  What is the point of this livejournal?  I'm guessing to write down thoughts to that all the world can see them?  But what if I don't want the world to see them?  Guess I am not going to write those down then.  LOL

The main reason I joined this was to get more access to 24 fiction.  Seemed like a great spot and some of the posts, wow!  I always wanted to be a writer of novels, but alas, I am an accountant.  How sad, right?  But I digress.  After reading some of the stories I have come across, I think myself either way better or horribly humble in the presence of the author. 

I used to write things back in the day.  My best friend in high school and I would write stuff for each other or collaborate on stories.  We had big dreams back then. Now we are both in accounting.  She in banking, I am in hotels.  We have yet to give up the dream, but  life gets in the way.  We have challanged each other to a full on story of some sort by the end of May though.  Good luck to the both of us.

So, the last time I wrote anything, from what I have recently discovered, was in 2003!  How sad yet again.  But I did get good reviews from those who read it on Fanfiction.net.  I thought this place would be a bit more private to try again. 

Anyway, the 7th season of 24 has inspired me!  What great potential!  But my muse comes and goes as she pleases and usually shows up when I am at work or have to tend to home life before I can properly sit down and capture her.  I have found in the past couple of weeks, when I decided to make time for the writing of thoughts, the thoughts are not there.  However, when I am busy doing other things, here comes the muse!  Fireworks ablazing, marching band behind her.  When I am powerless to do anything but watch her go by and wave, hoping she'll be back when I have the time.  And thus, I have made time for her tonight but she is being elusive. 

Or, I am being uptight.  That happens more often than naught.  At 40 years old, you'd think I could write about anything I want.  That was am adult enough to write without consequence.  But no.  You'd be wrong.  I am so afraid of what people will think or what they might think.  What if my mother read this?  What would she say?  She being an earth science teacher with an English minor in her back ground.  What if she thought it was crap?  I couldn't do it any longer.  I actually tried to write a story once and sent it to her for critique.  Guess that's why I all but stopped.  It wasn't good in her eyes, but she never came out right and said that.  I could just tell and thus, I squashed the story and the writing process all together until one day I couldn't take it anymore and just wrote something when I was "in the zone".  That's the story I was referring to above. 

By the way, if anyone actually reads this, where the hell is spell check on this thing?  I can't live without spell check.

OK, so I've got the music on and am hoping for inspiration from it.  Wish me luck.  I hope to be posting something other than random crap soon.

See ya.
(never mind, I found the spell check button)
