I've been up for 24 hours now.  Ugh.  MS not happy.  Brian just got home from work.  Gotta go pay two bills at mall.  Then gotta go do grocery shopping as we won't have time tomorrow after Disneyland.  Then dinner.  Then I'm hopefully gonna pass out cold til Disneyland time tomorrow.  *nods*  So mom, if you don't hear from me til say Monday, I'm surely alive despite my silence, I'm just asleep or stalking Mickey... or actually probably Captain Jack as I see him more often at Disneyland than Mickey usually.

News:
Nick Bollea aka Nick Hogan was sentenced to 8 months in jail + 5 years probation + lost his license for 3 years for the accident that left his friend John Graziano brain damaged.  Good.  He's lucky he didn't kill him or himself.  Hopefully he learns something and stops driving like he's on the track when on the road.

Sleep:
Couldn't sleep until 1.  Slept til 8 which is good I guess.  Hate though hours for sleep but nice amount since I haven't been sleeping straight through and it's only been 5 or 6 hours tops lately.  Lister was laying on my chest when I was falling asleep and I pissed him off because my head was some mutant form of pain alien just stabbing in pain almost causing me to twitch when I reacted he looked at me like stop it, I'm trying to sleep here.  Rude cat :P 

Brian/Plans:
Brian was talking about picking up dinner after work, then after we eat going to a 10 o'clock show of Iron Man.  I'm not usually a comic book super hero kind of girl believe it or not.  Just ther Superman ones and now SuperGirl and Batman.  Still haven't seen Spiderman, Fantastic 4, etc and no interest  But Iron Man looks good and well Robert Downey Jr. can usually make even the worst role seem good.  But it's 9:40 and Brian still not home from work with dinner so think that will be tomorrow.

We had talked about Disneyland this weekend as they have the 2fer deal going on and it's only good if you use one by the 22nd and Brian wants to force me to see the Whoopi California thing before they remove it for the park makeover  (if it's not gone already).  So I suspect we'll go next weekend maybe because I'm pretty sure we'll never pay for CA Adventure (unless the makeover is really good, but that will be years from now).  And with the 2fer specials we pay for Disneyland and then during the next month can go to CA Adventure once for free.

Hmm so that means this weekend is dentist (1 filling scheduled, still gotta figure out the others), Fry's,  Iron Man, refill Topamax, and really finish Misi's mail I hope.

Dunno why my brain aliens are so busy lately.  The one that controls sleep is a mess.  Pain  alien a mess.  General brain alien too my thoughts keep getting all muddled up and I type wrong words and yeah... argh.

Brian: Did you know I'm related to Bush?
Me: (looking at him funny) Huh?
Brian: Yeah I evolved from monkeys.

Brian finally slept lots.

I slept but not well, nerve pain woke me up.  Sucked.  So I kept going back to sleep and ending "sleeping" on and off from around 11 am until 6something pm.

Brian got up at 8:something and asked if I wanted to go to Apple store with him.  Hmm... out of soy milk and coffee.  yeah!  So went and got coffee first.  Went to Santa Monica.  The parking garage we went to claimed to have 98 available spaces on the digital board outside, no it had about 2 :P  Which we found once we got to the 9th floor.  It's undergoing construction though maybe they don't update it to show the blocked off spaces.  Brian got his laptop case (Apple stores have the coolest checkout system, or at least the one in the Santa Monica Promenade does, never shopped at another) and we went to leave and weren't sure what to do.  Wish I'd taken a picture.  Even my broken brain couldn't MAKE THIS UP... get to the end of the parking row.  The sign in front of us says no right turns exit left.  The sight above says no left turns exit right.  *blinks*  I mean I GUESS we could have gone straight through the brick wall of the 9th floor and seen what happened.  Brian looked at the signs and me, I looked at them and him.  WTF?  I'm sure it's a goof from the major construction going on and one old sign got left while they redirect traffic a new way.  But umm we basically waited for cars to come out to see what direction other exiting traffic went in so you know we wouldn't hit someone head on.

So we finally get out of there and the next parking garage says 200some space free.  Ok now I know those signs are cruel jokes.  Have you ever been to downtown Santa Monica near the Promenade / Pier on a Saturday night?  200 some free spaces, uhh funny.  There are not 200 free spaces in all of Santa Monica let alone one garage.  Liars.  Brian "What happens if you get a ticket to park, drive through, no spots?  You pay $3 for the ride?".

Uhh I'm rambling and pain alien here.  Away I go.

Since Mijn Favoriet and I seem to exchange cheesy games that we find now and then, I'm sharing with you all his latest find:  Snot Put.  I tossed the snot 3656m.  w00t!

My day = slept, sent Meneer Bot voice spam, banned some cheaters on MM (love ones that announce on irc to everyone they're cheating), talked to Mijn Favoriet briefly and Meneer Bot longer, worked on Misi's mail -  decided it wasn't right and started over so it's looking better now, and had to stay up til now (9 am) to be sure Brian got up to make a deadline after he slept for 2 hours.  I think Brian's got about 8 hours of sleep total this week maybe.  He's going to be sleeping lots once this gets turned in, which is fine as I'm HOPING I can crash now.  Then it'll be coffffffffffeeeee night instead of day I think as we both need sleep. zzzzzzzzzzz.

Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you ever seen one?

Dejavu... haven't we covered this before.   I believe in spirits yes.  Ghosts.  Whatever you prefer to call them, I guess.  Seen, no.  Had non visual experience that felt not normal, yes.  Including at a place where I know lots of people had to have probably have died (a small town's first hospital where I lived for some time).  Where numerous other people reported seeing, hearing, experiencing things too. Some who would have known of the local stories and history of the building and some who weren't locals who didn't know of it and who still said almost as soon as they entered it something wasn't right. Always on the same floor I felt uncomfortable on.  I've only felt that "something isn't right I shouldn't be here" feeling in two places I've been to, one in that building and one on the Queen Mary.  blah blah blah.  The elevator that broke down and was the newer one in the building but the elevator company and electricians could find nothing wrong with it.  Told this story before.  Everyone that's seen something there say a lady in a gown.  Some also say a man that seems to be looking for her or chasing her (I've heard both from different people who didn't know each other).  Me, just got that shouldn't be on that floor feeling and would get an ice cold chill from the stair way up to that floor, on that floor, and it wouldn't leave me until I left that floor again, 99% of the times I went to it, so I tried not to.  Luckily our apartment was below that floor so only had to go up there for friends once in awhile.

I also feel my dad has been with me before, including coming to me in a dream and presenting himself to me at his gravesite in the dream, at the cemetery which had changed since I'd been there some 15? 16? + years earlier but once I went there my eyes were drawn to where he'd been in my dream and it matched up and he'd been sitting in such a way my mom said would be his norm, that I'd have no way to know of.

And the whole Queen Mary smell experience with Brian who can smell basically nothing. 

Heard CynDee's voice clearly days after she died, but that I suppose could be my mind messing with me though never heard it clearly before or after that one time.

So I believe there are things beyond the normal, aka paranormal.  And what you want to label it is your choice.  What they are, I don't know...

Brian:
In other news, Brian was at work yesterday from his normal time, 9ish until today at like 5:30 am'ish.  And now he gets to get up soon.  And he had gone in on 3 hours or sleep yesterday.  Good thing this current freelance job is done Saturday, I think.  He's gonna kill himself with work.

Bender:
My bot sent me new pics!  Yesterday one of Mijn Favoriet.  Today 4 of My Bot.  I told him he was adorable but he didn't believe me so I told him the only thing stopping me from posting them online for other opinions (to prove I'm right) is that he'd kill me :P

Now, I'm getting sleepy and rambling.  Posted too much tonight.  Still not back to my normal yet but pain alien fading.  I have dreams to stalk.

Dear Bill Maher,

I did not authorize you going on Summer Hiatus already, meanie.  There's a nasty democratic primary still going on.  Who will offend the world and amuse me at 11 pm on Fridays through the rest of this?  Ugh now Fridays at 11 just means stabbing myself with Copaxone and nothing else as they don't even tend to re-run your show when you're in hiatus.  Brian's suggestion  of read my new Supergirl comic won't do, a comic won't last me all week let alone all summer -- though  I do still need to finish reading The Last Days of Krypton... and after it I suppose I could start reading The Life and Selected Writings of Thomas Jefferson, somehow I suspect it won't be the same. *cries*

No love,
Me

Politics:
Hmm ok as a politics geek, my prediction for tomorrow: Obama loses but by hmm.... 5-7% maybe a little more.  Whatever, it's going to be a lot less than the polls claimed about a week ago.

Gas:
Since answering Windy's comment earlier, gas price averages in Cali went from $3.81 to $3.86.  $4 coming soon to a station near you.  As goes California, so goes the nation... if I understand it right, we're mostly just higher because we have different / higher standards so ours costs more.  Or so they claim, wonder who gets to test gas standards?

Art:
I'm working on one digital painting that should be done but the eyes are driving me nuts, I'll say no more until it's done.

MS:
Am fighting brain aliens.  Not so much pain alien this time but exhaustion alien was kicking my ass so bad today it probably looked like I was hacking my own MM account, and I'm a flipping admin there, heh.  Exhaustion alien not helped by Dutchie waking me up at 8 am when I fell asleep at 3 something and didn't sleep nearly enough all weekend.  Also temps fluctuating a lot (all over the place from the high 50s to high 90s almost 100) during the past week or two hasn't helped, that makes the MS Brain aliens soooo mad.

Mijn Favoriet:
Did manage to have an almost coherent good chat with mijn favoriet for a few despite being fighting the aliens.  Almost coherent, I meant to say someone is NOT ev0l and said they ARE ev0l.  Ooopsie, good thing he knows me and corrected me for me ;)

Brian:
Brian's going a little crazy from some freelance he's doing so he'll be buying his MacBook for his bday early (his bday is May 31st, we'll be at the Apple store next weekend).  But he decided to use his freelance pay to buy it as freelance money = money he'll owe taxes on next year = buy computer to help with freelance since the guy he does this extra work for, his business is all Mac = tax deductible = makes sense.  *nods*  And now that John Adams aka his first small screen credit is over... his first big screen credit is coming to theaters in September.  We'll be going and watching credits, of course.  I told him as long as his full time job (first hire in "Hollywood") is taking to make, he's gonna have like 20 credits before his first work hits the screen.

Me:
How did I write this much?  Hmm to sum up me, one word: zzzzzzzzzzz

Today is Keegan's birthday, he's now 7.  While his mom went birthday present shopping yesterday, mom called from the car with Keegan.  He was telling me about the walk.  And how he didn't walk or run, he "scooted on his scooter" so I asked him something like "well what about your mom though she had to walk, right? Does that mean you went a little ahead of her?" and his reply "I  left her in my dust"    Then he was a little bothered, he told me they had a marching band with them for a little part of the walk, which was cool, but he felt bad as the band went with them by a bridge and a homeless man had been sleeping under than bridge and it's really not nice probably to be woken up by  a marching band so he hopes if they made too much for MS, if they ever have any "left over" maybe they'd use some to hope the homeless people too.  Brian said I should tell him about the rescue mission in Portland and how Brian still sends money to them now and then to help homeless people up there, maybe that'll make him feel less guilty they woke the guy up.

I asked him if he's still thinking about building robots when he grows up, he said yes and now he's also wondering if he can learn to build some kind of hovercraft cars but he thinks that might be harder to do.  Also he has some ideas that he thinks would make good rides for a place like Disneyland so maybe when he grows up he'll go to work for them and talk them into building a park where he lives so he can build his rides, I told him that's kind of like building robots in a way anyway, just different ones that he planned to before ;)

Then he was telling me about which Transformers he likes (I told him how Brian saw some of the set from the first movie and buys Transformers toys for himself still, heh).  Which led to him telling me he's watched some Star Wars movies, has Brian seen those, yes.   So I asked him well do you watch any Star Trek stuff, Brian likes that better than Star Wars, yes.  He asked me "I know, how about the Star Wars Family Guy, did Brian see that?"  Yes.  Keegan at first sounded excited he was into stuff Brian was.  But soon it became a competition as he said "Well then how about Shrek the Third?"  I said "Nope we haven't seen that one and I'm pretty sure Brian didn't see it away from me" to which Keegan replied "HA I saw one he didn't then".

He also wants to play the Wii with me when he comes to visit again and wants me to know he's almost beat a game where he's fighting penguins.  I awww'd and he said "Hey they're psycho ninja penguins trying to kill me". lol

If you saw part 6/7 of John Adams tonight, you saw what Brian worked on and now that it has aired I can say what he worked on, the White House. 

I've slept about 2 hours in a day and a half or something? 2 days? All blends together.  The heat (90-95 the last two days), falling asleep before shot so Brian had to wake me up yesterday then not being able to fall asleep again yesterday, etc.  All bad.  So after dinner and Desperate Housewives, I plan on passing out, not sleeping, passing out cold.  MS, if it's nice, will take this exhaustion and make me sleep for 10 hours or so.  It's never that nice, but I am that out of it, I need it.  My body should be nice o me for once *nods*  Brian keeps asking if I'm ok.  I was until the lack of sleep really hit my body, now typing this is so hard to do.  I keep retyping words and still typoing.  zzzzzzzzzzz
