GO BRONCOS!!!

Moo....moo moo.

I apologize for the lack of new stuff here in my Nooks and Crannys. See, here at Grandma's house she's got what is quite possibly the slowest internet connection possible. So, doing anything online is very time consuming and a very big pain in the ass. Hopefully the work on my place will begin next week though, so I could be back in there by the end of Feb! That would rock!

The Golden Globes were this week. I pretty much agreed with everyone that won (except Hugh Laurie. Nothing against him, and I've never watched House, but Kieffer Sutherland rocks on 24 and he deserves recognition for it damn it! I need to go see Brokeback Mountain I guess. It's like, it's 2 hot guys gettin it on and stuff, and normally I'm totally down for some hot guy on hot guy action.... but it's still a cowboy movie. A.K.A. Dirt. A.K.A. Lame. Dirt is not sexy. So, I need to get myself in the mood to see it since it's apparently going to be winning a lot this year.

I'm going to a basketball game tonight. "Sunshine" you say, " You don't like basketball. Why would you go to a Nuggets game?" Valid question. Mom got tickets for her and Grandma to go to the game (my grandmother LOVES basketball and the game tonight is vs. the Utah Jazz which is my Grandma's team). However, since Grandma decided to go out of town for a couple of months that left mom with the extra ticket. So, since it's free, box seating with free drinks I figured I'd give it a shot. How boring can it be right? At least it's not baseball. : )

Asia is not a country.

I just have to talk about Family Feud for a moment. I love the show, but seriously, sometimes people are so stupid. For example: the question was "Name a country whose name is 4 letters." First person buzzes in "Peru"... ding #3. Their team takes it and gives Iraq, Iran and all they need is one more. The next person says "China". Now, why would you say that when you know for a fact it's wrong? Dip-shit. Next person says "Asia." WTF?! Asia is not a country moron. I can't remember what their last stupid answer was, but it was NOT Cuba which the other team got and won the round. Later, in the final round, one of the questions was "Name somewhere you have a hard time staying awake." My beef here is not with the contestants on the show who gave reasonable answers; School (8 points)and Work (12 points). My problem here is with the 100 people surveyed. Would you like to know what the number one answer was? THE MOVIES! What!? I'm not going to say that I have never fallen asleep at the movies before, but it only happened once (Catch Me If You Can), and it was because we all took muscle relaxers first, and it knocked me out within 20 minutes of the film starting (lame). Who falls asleep often enough at the movies that it was their first response to that question?! Did they survey seniors? So so so stupid. If you're that tired maybe you should go see the movie another time. That's all I'm saying. That is part of the fun though, seeing the stupid answers people give, but sometimes you look at the #1 answers and you're left feeling confused.

In other news the contractor who is fixing my place called today. He got the bid in within the right amount of money, we are the next job on his list, and he thinks it will only take him 3 weeks to finish it. SWEET!! So, we have to wait for the insurance company to give the OK, but it looks like he could start as soon as next week. I'm so excited! My Grandma is leaving tomorrow and going back to Utah for a couple of months, so this should be done by the time she gets back. Which is just great because, I love her, but living with her is just like being in Utah. Lame.

"Chanel? As in Coco?"

Despite the fact that this week sucks ass for me every year, there have been some good points. This past weekend my mother and I went to go Beauty and the Beast, the musical! I've never been able to see it before and it was so incredible! My mom got me tickets for Christmas, and it was everything I wanted it to be! Great costumes, and such a talented cast! This guy that I used to be really good friends with, but haven't seen in a few years, was in the show! It was so great to see him again! He's always had such an amazing voice and it makes me so happy to know that he's finally doing something with it. He's one of the theatre's regular crew (The Barnstormers), so he's been in a lot of shows there the past couple of years. Apparently, after he does one more show he'll be able to join the actor's union, so at that point he's planning on leaving for New York. It just made the night even better getting to see him and knowing he's doing so well. So, now I'm definitely going to go see the next show there (Man of La Mancha) so I can see him perform again. : ) I'm so glad I finally got to see Beauty and the Beast. Some of my all time favorite show songs, Home and If I Can't Love Her, come from that show. There was a song that Belle sang (Change in Me) that is not on my CD of the Broadway soundtrack, so that was interesting. Why isn't it on the CD? Strange. Anyway, I highly recommend it to all of you that like musicals.

Odds and Ends

So, time to wrap up some poll results. In a fight between Santa and Jesus who do we pick to win? Santa! Yeah! What was chosen as the favorite holiday show? We have a tie! Your TWO favorite holiday shows are How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and A Christmas Story. Congrats to all of our winners, who will receive nothing. : ) The new poll topic is upcoming movie releases in 2006. However, I just noticed I didn't include Casino Royale as a choice. That's the new Bond movie that comes out this year. I'm SO EXCITED! I love me some 007! It wouldn't have changed my vote though, I want to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie so bad I kinda need to tinkle. I simply can't get enough Orlando Bloom.

Another great part of ringing in a new year is that it means 24 is so close! It really is the best show ever, and if you don't watch it your life is lacking. Scrubs is back finally! The Sopranos is only months away now, rather than years. Progress. Baby steps to the final season. I finally decided it's time to start re-watching the entire Sopranos series from the beginning to really refresh my memory. It's been so long since the last season ended, and I still have to wait until March for the conclusion. ::sigh:: Jake said he's interested in watching the old episodes though. Of course, he waits until the show is practically over to decide to get into it, after I've tried to get him to watch it so many times in the past. Whatever, better late than never I guess. Last but not least, Battlestar Galactica returns this month too. Dreamy! All my favorites coming back. Good times.

There Is No If


Remember the first time i told you "i love you"
It was raining hard and you never heard
You sneezed And i had to say it over
I said "i love you", i said You didn't say a word
You just held your hands To my shining eyes
And i watched as the rain ran through your fingers
Held your hands To my shining eyes
And smiled as you kissed me

"If you die", you said
"So do i", you said
And it starts the day you make the sign
Tell me i'm forever yours
And you're forever mine
Forever mine...

"If you die", you said
"So do i", you said
And it starts the day you cross that line
Swear i will always be yours
And you'll be always be mine
You'll always be mine
Always be mine...

Remember the last time i told you i love you
It was warm and safe in a perfect world
You yawned And i had to say it over
I said "i love you", i said
You didn't say a word
Just held your hands To your shining eyes
And i watched as the tears ran through your fingers
Held you hands To your shining eyes
And cried

"If you die", you said
"So do i", you said
But it ends the day you see how it is
There is no always, forever Just this Just this

"If you die", you said
"So do i", you said
But it ends the day you understand
There is no if Just when
There is no if Just when
There is no if

-The Cure

We're In This Together

I've become impossible

holding on to when

when everything seemed to matter more

the two of us

all used and beaten up

watching fate as it flows

down the path we have chose

you and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

you and me

if the world should break in two

until the very end of me

until the very end of you

awake to the sound

as they peel apart the skin

they pick and they pull

trying to get their fingers in

well they've got to kill what we've found

well they've got to hate what they fear

well they've got to make it go away

well they've got to make it disappear

the farther i fall i'm beside you

as lost as i get i will find you

the deeper the wound i'm inside you

forever and ever i am a part of

you and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

you and me

if the world should break in two

until the very end of me

until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone we have to hold on

when all our hope is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

you and me

even after everything

you're the queen and i'm the king

nothing else means anything

Best/Worst Annoyences of 2005

This is excluding things like natural disasters, our president, and people who eat with their mouth open and/or smack their food like fucking animals. Those kinds of things are a given.

1. FUCKING "TOMKAT"!! I have had it up to here (you can't see it, but trust me...it's up there.) with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. I DON'T CARE! I don't. At first, I'll admit, I had a "really? they're dating?" reaction... but oh my God. Enough. Tom... you need to simmer the fuck down. Katie...don't get sucked into his impending Gary Busey-type-meltdown. Stay strong girl. And I'm spent with it. It's everywhere all the time and I'm done with it. AAAAAAHAHAHHAHHAH!!!!!
2. Katie Couric. She's a bit arrogant and judgemental. She needs to go. Katie Couric, you're out. Auf Wiedersehen.
3. Donald Trump...the pizza commercials are horrible.
4. Paris Hilton...she would be higher up but I have a feeling she's not going anywhere anytime soon so I'm going to just have to deal with it. lame.
5. gas prices
