By a show of hands, who is sick of the winter of 2010?

This is getting ridiculous!

Snow, ice, more snow, freezing temps…

And that’s just the last two weeks! It’s snowing outside as I write this, and by tonight, the temp will dip below 32 degrees, and then we’ll have a mess to contend with tomorrow.

Dare I hope that there are no classes on my birthday? That would be too freakin’ perfect… I’ve never been that lucky!

Oh, and UCO closes at 4pm this afternoon, so no Writing the Teleplay at 3:30pm.

Tomorrow…?

That’s another story all together.

This is Where it’s @ !~

The Big Easy is BACK!

I wish I were in the French Quarter right now…

Because that is Where it’s @ !~

Have you looked in the mirror lately, dear?

Jon called last night.

First he teased me about my short hair, saying that the next logical step is a Marine Corps style “high and tight”. I retorted that I just might shave it all off a la David Draiman (and I know Jon has NO idea who that is), and there was silence on the other end of the line…

Then, he said that the real reason he called me was to tell me that he named his new  car. I didn’t even know he HAD a new car! Apparently, it’s a 1997 Ford Taurus (he was always a Chevy guy, with Corvettes being his absolute fave car EVER!) and he’s named it “Jellybean”.

Seriously?! Jellybean? (Said she whose last car was called BabyDoll)

He then suggested that I go on Craigslist to find myself a car. Um, no thanks, I told him. So he did it and found several cars in my area. He even called a couple of the numbers listed with the ads, while I was on the phone with him! Fortunately, neither one answered, so Jon leaves voice mails with his number, saying he’s calling for a “friend” in the Oklahoma City area (so that’s what I’ve become to him, a friend?!).

After all that he starts talking about my hair again, then he says that I look older than he does!

I do not! At least I’m not faking my way through life trying to be something I’m not…

He apparently still lives in his little fantasy world where nothing is his fault and he believes he’s like 30 years old (instead of the 50 he really is).

I am so done with the conversation by this time, that I tell him I’ve got to let him go, with some lame excuse about doing homework.

Ex-husbands…sheesh! Are all men like this, or is it just Jon. I’m willing to bet it’s just Jon…

Because he’s not Where it’s @ !~

Stef’s Faceplant Follies

Okay, maybe I didn’t fall on my face, but I did manage to slip in the snow on my way to my Beginning Acting class. I fell on my bodacious Italian backside and all I injured was my pride.

Yes, I am STILL a klutz…

Nothing that being silly in class can’t cure (remember, it’s an acting class!).

=====

I’m still sleepy. This getting up at 8am after going to bed less than 6 hrs. before is for the birds. I used to be the biggest night owl… then I decided I wanted a life. That included a regular day job. So I’ve been doing that for the last 11 years. Having a life. School, work, dating (who? Me??? Hahah!!), etc.

Because that’s Where it’s @ !~

I am so ready to go home

I’m really, really, really tired… I didn’t sleep well at all last night. It’s just now catching up with me.

If I’m going to catch  the last bus, I better leave now…but suspect that Daniel will want something to eat after his 6pm class…

The boy needs to get his FinAid sh!t stuff done.

As a matter of fact, I need to get my FinAid sh!t done for next term.

Is it that time already? It seems like I just did it.

=====

I’m listening to a station I created on Pandora. I called it “Disturbed Radio”, hoping that I’d get mostly Disturbed songs and other artists in that same vein, but lately, I’ve been getting songs that I sang in karaoke in Massachusetts ten years ago. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but I want my hard rock/nu metal/modern rock fix, dammit! Do I have to do it all on my own…like I don’t have enough to do already?!

=====

I think I’ll change over to blip.fm…

=====

And I think I’ll try writing my synopsis for Writing the Teleplay. Dr. O finally returned to campus! This is going to be an interesting semester, being 4 weeks down in a new class.

=====

Lord, I’m tired… I’ll close here.

Because that’s Where it’s @ !~

I either need a dog sled team… or ice skates!

The roads are more or less clear… if the roads we’re talking about are ones like Danforth, Broadway, Second, etc.

The others, not so much.

I attempted to go out on Saturday, but decided (after missing the bus that only comes once an hour on Saturdays) that there was really nothing I needed to do out there, so I retreated back inside my humble abode until about 10am this morning to go back to campus.

But, I’m not at home, so that’s a plus. Going to class at 2pm will be fun.

Whether Writing the Teleplay will meet today, so far, there has been no indication that it won’t. Just got to keep checking my UCO email.

I’m working on the paper that was due on Thursday in Mass Media Effects, but is now due tomorrow because Dr. Nelson had cancelled class for Thursday. It was already pretty much done, and I could have turned it in, but I think I can tweak it so that it will be a little better.

=====

You know, the ice on the trees and all is quite pretty, but I am definitely ready for spring to start.

=====

Since it’s February 1st, I better pay my rent. I just don’t want to have to pay the extra $19.95 to do it over the internet, but not being able to get to an ATM for the last 4 days, and not really wanting to walk to the property manager’s office in all the snow just to pop a money order thru the slot in the door, I guess I have to take what’s available to me…

=====

I better get back to work…

Because that’s Where it’s @ ! ~

–MorelaterZ–

I. Am. Sooooo. Bored.

I hope things start getting back to normal tomorrow, or I am gonna Lose. My. Rabbit-ass. Mind!

That is all.

Because that’s Where it’s @ !–

First ice, now snow…Hello, spring?!

I woke up this morning to a strange sound…no traffic whizzing by on Danforth. I couldn’t even hear the trains that come thru here several times a day. Then I looked out the window.

It was (and still is) snowing!

There’s ice underneath all that. Even the Edmond buses aren’t running today. Even if I had a car, I would not be going anywhere. I know better. I lived on the east coast & got some knowledge and lessons about driving in snow. If you don’t have to go out, then DON’T! This may be Oklahoma, but those east coast lessons still apply.
Vincent called me yesterday to check up on how I was weathering the storm. He didn’t have to do that. It was sweet of him to think of me.

I have pictures of the storm, but I’ll have to wait and post them when I get to a computer. Mine is still in the shop. Again.

So, I am still stuck at home. I have plenty of provisions, I still have power, and I think I still have my sanity…but if I don’t get out of here soon, I’m going to go plumb loco!!!!

Because that’s Where it’s @ !–

The Icepocalypse of 2010 has begun!

I’m not even going to attempt to go to my 9:30 class. UCO is closing at noon today, but it’s already pretty dicey outside, so I’m going to play it safe and stay put.

My Mass Media Effects class at 11am was cancelled by the prof last night, so the paper that was due today is now due next Tuesday, February 2nd.

Thank you, Dr. Nelson!

=====

Looks like Larry gets an extra day off. His employer is closed today as well. His kid is off from school as well, so maybe that’s a good thing. I don’t think it’s supposed to be as bad where he lives as it’s forecast here, though. I could be wrong. I haven’t seen the weather yet this morning.

=====

I hope we don’t lose power though. That would suck.

=====

This is gonna be fuuuuun! This is one of the times I wish there was someone else here to talk to.

Because this is Where it’s @ !–

This is going to be a strange week

There’s a huge ice-sleet-snow storm coming on Thursday, and it’s shaping up to rival the ice storm of December 9-12, 2007… This does not bode well. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 600,000 Oklahomans lost power for a day or more during that storm. If I lose power, I’m going to be really, really cold and miserable, because even though I have gas heat (that’s included with my rent), the theromostat is electric, so I won’t have heat, either. In that case, I’ll either go to Mom’s or Chaz’s. Or, to a motel (which I can’t afford).

I’m not looking forward to this at all. Snow I can handle; subfreezing temps I can deal with…ice is not something I really want to have to deal with.

=====

Is it just me, or does “Perfect Insanity” sound out of place on Disturbed’s Indestructible CD? Lead singer David Draiman’s voice sounds different on this track than on the other tracks on the CD.

Just an observation, since I’m listening to the CD as I write this.

=====

I have no classes tomorrow. In my 2pm Broadcast Audio Production, the class was split into two groups, and my group met on Monday; so we don’t have to come to class. In my 3:30pm Writing the Teleplay class, Dr. Olivier is still in Louisiana recovering from whatever she has that hospitalized her over winter break, so class has been cancelled for tomorrow. I hope that she’s back on campus soon.

=====

Chaz took my laptop to a friend of his to see if it could be fixed. They couldn’t do anything because it won’t let me (or anyone else) access the desktop. That’s the problem I’ve been having with it since before Christmas. Chaz called me to tell me this, and said he’d take it to Best Buy or somewhere to see if a computer expert could fare any better. I’d hate to lose all those files, and I’d hate to have to buy a new computer. But, I will if I have to. I need a computer for school!

And that’s Where it’s @ !–
