playlist.com sucks eggs...

the stoopid playlist.com kept causing errors on my blog.  so i've resorted to bootlegging videos from youtube.  i actually prefer to make you all listen to what i want you to, instead of allowing you being able to pick and choose what you want to click on - like my parents do  (sorry antiblog, i don't think the grand parental units have listened to ANY of the chanson du jours du yours).

but anyway, i've always loved this song.  which is featured in the movie twilight (and which i surprisingly liked, a lot) in the part where the vampires are having a friendly family game of baseball during a thunderstorm.  so without further delay, here is supermassive black hole by muse.  the video may be weird and creepy, but the song is tight.  definitely should be played at maximum volume.

and who knew cedric diggory and edward cullin could sing like this... this is robert pattinson:

a classic battle: sensible vs. indulgent...

i had to choose between a prius or an escalade... but what i really want is a mini cooper! with racing stripes of course.

sophie:  no she didn't.  you're fat.  YOU ate it!

a HEMFI to remember...

once a year (every year) the state of michigan mandates my employer to take 2 hours of my life and bore me to tears.  work calls the event "HEMFI" (don't ask me what it means... i don't think even our CEO knows).  it is always the same required subject matter:  patient rights and privacy, corporate compliance, infection control, reporting abuse, and disaster plans.  with the same old lame corporate training videos (you know, the ones with the cheesy music and bad acting).

i dutifully attend these meetings year after year.  doing everything within my power to avoid appearing disinterested.  listening to our nurse educator drone on, answering all her questions, laughing at all her anecdotes, and bobble-headedly nodding in agreement to her opinions.

surprisingly, this year was different.  the guest lecturer was our new head of environmental services (aka: housekeeping/maintenence). and he chose this video clip to teach us about what NOT to do during a fire:

happy anniversary!

just wanted to let my charming, handsome and witty husband know that i love him very much. here's hoping the next eight years are just as fabulous. this one's for you, dear...

my nickname

long ago, when i was a skinny little thing, my cousins "lovingly" used to (and some still do) call me "lulu".   it came about when i was around 8 years old.  we were over at their house and they were watching hee haw. you remember, that corny redneck show from the 70's/80's? well anyway, the character lulu (an insanely fat woman) came on and my cousin pat said to me "hey! you're on TV!" - or something to that effect.   everyone had a good laugh and the name stuck. there was also "dim kim" (mocking my supreme intelligence), "lashaun jackson" (named after my bff/twin brother steven "deshaun jackson" oprea), and "kimby" (for my love of gumby) but "lulu" has always been a family favorite.
