Visiting Steve this weekend. Well, going back tomorrow, that is. XD His mother is at a nursing home again. They've ping-ponged her back and forth between the hospital and two nursing homes. I'm alone in the house while he's checking on her. Before I came over he bought me a box of Vanilla Coke cans and some Golden Crisp. I've been craving it since I watched the Nostalgia Critic's Top Eleven Cereal Mascots.

I LOVE that man! He's ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com. I usually watch his Critic and the Nostalgia Chick, but his other stuff is good too.

I've pulled up one of my favorite Babylon 5 episodes on Hulu as background noise. Deathwalker.

Poop. I had more to say...

Well, at least I live. XD

WTF? The detection option called this Allentown? I don't THINK so, sister! *edits!*

I'm listening to: Babylon 5: Deathwalker

I'm around, just apathetic about posting. Rarely does anything happen. I work, I sleep, I clean, I do laundry, I talk to Steve. Nothing changes, really.

I'm bummed about everyone who passed away this week. Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson (my poor boy) and now Billy Mayes!

I wept for Michael Jackson. He was supposed to die AFTER he got better, not when he was still insane. As far as I'm concerned this doctor killed him through his actions. They have to put him away before the fans kill him. That's why John Lennon's killer is in solitary and is always denied parole. The fans would mob him.

My TMZ app on Jeffery got quite a workout this week. Say what you will, and this isn't a "whose source is better" argument, but I trust TMZ. Howard Levin, the owner and creator, is a lawyer. He knows what facts you can and can't say. I trust 'em.

My work's vacation started this week. We go back on the 9th. Kiera's coming down on the first, and hopefully not leaving til the 12th. We're going to New Hope this Sunday. <3

I'm not gonna have alot of money for it, though. At least not as much as I had last year, but Kiera's not pushy about things. Plus I love spending moneys on my friends.

My mother bought me new sneakers, too. Eckos, like the old pair, but sturdier! And they have pink! <3 I can't seem to find a pic online, though...

I'm REALLY starting to like Ecko stuff. Still eyeing that Boba Fett full hoodie. <3

And freakin Ed Hardy! I wish that stuff would come down in price! He needs to remember he's not tattooing people anymore and adjust his prices!

WOW I sounded like a girl there...

Okay, shower time!

I feel: dirty

So I had a good two or three days.

Danny's back in town. On Sunday, me, him, Jenn, Dan, and Ashley all went to see Up. I recommend you ALL GO SEE UP. Tis better than Wall-E. I did not know PIXAR COULD do better than Wall-E. They did. Even the SHORT was far beyond the call of duty. The best pieces of PIXAR I have ever seen! Please go see it. It was wonderful.

Then Danny and I went out on Monday. I had some money I felt I could play with, so I squired him and treated myself. I finally found a Red Son Green Lantern figure. Red Son is an Elseworlds DC comic, about what if Kal-El landed in Soviet Russia and became a Communist hero. Wonderful graphic novel, go read it!

In the local thrift shop, I found two Twinkles the cat (a My Little Pony thing), a Lotsa Heart figure, and two Bump in the Night Subway kids meal toys! Mr. Bumpy and that doll friend of his (Molly?)!

Then we went to the mall, and I went crazy-go-nuts! Someone in Best Buy stocked the Dr. Horrible DVD a day early so I picked it up. I then found a special edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula (the one with Winona Ryder?), and since I'm a Special Features Whore, I picked it up.

And then...I saw...IT!

No, not THAT IT.

All five seasons of Babylon 5 on sale for $20 A PIECE. I AM ONE VERY HAPPY FUCKING FANGIRL. I have MISSED Babylon 5 SO FUCKING MUCH. NOW I OWN IT ALL.

Except the movies and Crusade, but they shall follow soon after...

Oh, and I picked up the H.R. Pufnstuf movie. ^__^ I am a sick sick person...

Today, I saved some baby pigeons. ^__^ Everyone at work thinks I'm crazy but I AM! So it don't matter. XD

Apparently every year we get pigeons roosting in this hole in the outer wall and can hear it inside. BossLady finally got fed up and asked her brother (who is a handyman, and she pays him to help us when we need it) to clean it out and plug it up. To my dismay she wouldn't wait til the babies were grown, so Joe put them out in the bushes out front. They weren't TINY, maybe two or three weeks away from flight, but still helpless.

I sat there watching from inside after I clocked out, no parents were coming. They weren't making noise when I did step out.

I spend two hours there, Googling and calling around trying to find someone to take them! My mother finally took pity on me, picked me up with a box and we took them. We stopped by the three animal hospitals who told me no over the phone, and they pulled out contacts in person. Number two told us they'd call in a favor, and we went to three. Three apparently takes them in, but for some reason they told me no. Either that or I got my numbers crossed and missed calling them back after a busy signal. I called SO MANY PLACES. >.<

They took them, but they don't do callbacks on wildlife rescues. I'm a little meh about not knowing about them, but at least they aren't shivering or starving, and if they do take a turn for the worst they can be gently put to sleep.

They were sweet little things, really. <3

Hey orca5094, move out here and open a rehab center. We need a REAL, reachable one. XD

I'll say it here, too.

If you agree with the murder of Dr. George Tiller, either never let me know, or leave right now.

Like a very wise man by the name of George Carlin once said, "If you're pre-born, you're fine, if you're pre-schooled, you're fucked. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life, these people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors, what kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do everything they can do save a fetus, but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?"

I thought the days of doctors being targeted for this was over.

I really liked the concept:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/b6ca/

But since it didn't say it WASN'T compatible with iPod Touches, I purchased it. -_- I keep forgetting that because it takes an iPhone does NOT mean it takes an iPod Touch. Poor Jeffery still needs decent speakers. Not that the built-in is bad, but I'd like something else.

It looks like Steve and I will be spending our five year anniversary apart (June 6). He can't get to me and his mother still doesn't feel good, so no visitors. I'm real bummed.

We have vacation at work from...errr...*checks*

If I copied it right its June 29th through July 7, with us back on the 8th. Technically for me I have from June 27th, as I don't work Saturdays. Hopefully Kiera can come visit. She has relatives coming up that we have to work around.

Other than that, I don't have a lot going on. I'm loosing interest in the Animal Crossing: Wild World I've been maintaining for three yearsish. I'm PROBABLY gonna sell my Animal Crossing: City Folk. I can't make the time to play it. Anyone looking for a copy?

And my new love is NCIS. Go check out the show one day. It's gold! <3

And remember, I'm on Twitter as Steves_Minty.

So the very lovely and talented totally_fierce made me very happy. I've never been able to understand how to upload a custom Mood Theme, and she very graciously went and did it for me. I <3 her, she's awesome.

If you want it, I tossed the link in my profile, under Mint Fizzy. I may move it just under the Tarot, I haven't decided yet.

Just saw Star Trek for the second time and I loved it! GO SEE IT NOWS PLZKTHNXBAI!

*pounts down* This one is my favorite outa this mood set.

I owe a longer update. XD I'm just being lazy.

I unlocked my three entries on going upstate, so crazy_catlady and her father can see. Nothing interesting, though. But it's tagged under: REALLYAWESOMESURPRISE09. I'll be using it when I talk about the trip, too.

I miss you guys. <3

I got it as my high school graduation present, and I often let Kiera wear it. ^__^

Anyway, even with Steve's mother moving her appointment to this Thursday, and we want to leave on Saturday, she really thinks that we'll be able to go. She doesn't think they'll admit her for more than some test runs for a few hours.

I'm still a little worried. And frustrated. At this point we've had this planned for more than two months. I know shit happens but we now have a window of ONE DAY to discover whether or not we're leaving. At this point I should be jumping up and down and DYING for Saturday, positively DYING, because we're going UPSTATE and I get to see everyone!

Not still wondering if we're gonna go. >.<

I've always maintained that people can't help their feelings, so please forgive me if I seem too crazy (or insensitive to Steve's mother).

I'm loving work.

I mean, it's kinda kicking my ass, but I'm so proud and happy to work there. We make the BEST nom, and everyone here on Staten Island knows of it and loves our cakes and stuff, too. <3 So it's awesome! ^__^

I really enjoy working on specialty cakes with BossLady. Like today we had a Cat in the Hat Hat cake go out, and last week a really nice Super Mario Brother's cake. I carved out the fireflowers and it was my idea to make two invincibility stars and write the inscription on one.

I wish to smeg that I was able to transfer my phone pics to my computer, though. >.<

We had a communion cake (or maybe it could have been a baptism cake?) go out today that said, "God Bless Messiah."

Poor kid...

Poor kid's future lover. @__@

Back when I was still interning last year (and regrettebly two days before my camera phone arrived!) we had one go out that, I shit you not, said "God Bless Charles Xavier."

Sent me into a fit of giggles that I had to explain to BossLady (who didn't know who the X-Men were), and wondering. It could have been:

Clueless Parents, thus a coincidence (Sorry, Gibbs!)
The kid had AWESOME Parents!
The kid was Uber-Geek-in-Training who chose Xavier as his communion name.
Or I theorized that maybe it was a Geek Party!

That last one sent Steve into a quick Google to see if that day was an X-men anniversary or something, though it didn't seem to be.

So...yeah! ^__^
