She whispered in my ear tonight that she really was mine

I woke up to a text message that my package is in BiggerCity, and should technically be here by end of business tomorrow, so I’ll have check the mail later on in the day

I’ve had better sleeps, I should’ve medicated myself a little more, but I’m running low on my cold meds, so I only took one instead of the two that I’ve been taking. So I was up a couple times in the night. Little less restful last night.

It’s time for the new segment around here: THE DAILY TALKING ABOUT MIDNIGHT SUN BECAUSE THATS A HIGH POINT IN MY LIFE BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS IN TINYTOWN SO SHARE MY JOY WITH ME!

So reading last night, and I believe it’s just past the crash, and Edward is watching Bella in class, and is day dreaming about backhanding Mike Newton across the classroom. Sorry, it’s funny and I laughed a little.

But seriously, the book is pretty good. Their interactions are exactly or at least very very close to Twilight. I’m really enjoying the book a lot.

I love you, and I miss you so much.

What a long day yesterday. In the truck for about 8.5 hours. That makes for a long day. The part that was supposed to be fixed, couldn’t be, for the price that they were willing to pay, so we brought it back. Frustrating on that end.

Although, I was surprised when, as we were waiting for them to figure out what they were going to do with the part, my mom drove to a book store.

“Go and get your book, the newest one, we’ll use amazon for the others.”

So after that, we’re on our way home. And we’re driving through all these really small little towns. I see a sign,

“That sign just said Eiffel Tower that way…..”

Sure enough, there’s the Eiffel Tower. Of course I get out and take pictures for Crystal. Which, hours and hours later, as she lay in bed, I got her to edit them, as my photoshop decided it didn’t want to play well with me. I can’t decide which edits I like the best, so over the course of the week, you’ll see them all.

Welcome to the Paris of the Praries

I can’t go outside, I’m scared, I might not make it home

It’s gonna be a busy day here at Shady Acres, in about an hour we’ll be heading to TotallyBiggerCity to get a part repaired for my father. Although he left the part at the farm, and my mom has to go out and get it. Thanks to that change of plans she’s frazzled. I totally see where I get it from now. It’s faster for us to go, and then he doesn’t lose any repair time. It’s about 2.5 hours to get there, and I’m still trying to convince my mom to stop at 5 Guys Burgers and Fries for lunch. Bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon, hot sauce, jalapeños, pickles, extra jalapeños, grilled onions, and mayo. Oh god, I can already taste it.

I slept like a log last night. I took to of the night time sinus Tylenol’s again, and just passed right out. I got up at 6:47 peed and fell back asleep for 40ish minutes. Glorious. I had weird dreams about being in a second hand book store, trying to deal to get the Twilight Saga at a better price.

I decided to shower last night. It’s a lot easier to do it at night, instead of getting in everyone’s way first thing in the morning. Now I can concentrate on the glorious art of coffee. I loves me some coffee. I should have enough time for two cups before we leave. Like I said my mom is frazzled, and was having a full blown conversation tell me all about her to go cups and if I want to use one I have to look for them I have a green one it’s over there if it’s too small there more but you have to look for them I’ll be right back. OMG I’m just making the coffee.

It’s gonna be a long day, and I’m wearing jogging pants.

I had adrenaline rush. It’s very common, you can Google it.

How can a movie be so different from the novel of our generation? Welcome to Forks, where the girls are pale, and the boys are vampires.

So many things are wrong about this movie. The pacing is off, and all of the major plot points are all wrong. I’m pretty sure only the names are the same, because while close to the book, it’s also miles off.

And that’s kind of annoying.

Hulk smash!

The plot points from the book and the movie just don’t match up. Nor do the visuals. Why would they take the Jeep and the BMW to school. LOW MOTHERFUCKING PROFILE.

I believe book Edward said, and I quote, “ostentatious”.

One of the few things that do match up is the baseball game, and the glorious 2006 Muse hit Supermissive Black Hole – which, I’m told was written just for this scene, and never released again.

He’s probably doping.

The running to Phoenix, was so blink of an eye fast, and then Bella gets away by simply walking out the front door of the hotel? That’s some serious bullshit I tells you.

Do you have a moment to talk about your saviour?

This isn’t how in my minds eye, how I pictured the ballet studio scene to go. I don’t know, I pictured in more in the day light for some reason. then suddenly slap fight and blonde evil vampire is a fireball. Anticlimactic much?

There’s the happy ending we’ve been waiting for. I believe this is the first time I’ve seen the whole move from start to finish. Will it replace the book for me? Hell no. This is a book for our generation. Without the first book, there’s no SAGA. Remember that.

Woke up about 5 minutes before my alarm went off this morning. Go up and dressed, timing everything just right, that all I got this morning was a simple good morning from my mom as I was brewing my coffee. I had a pretty good sleep, a little warm, but otherwise pretty good. No bad dreams, or at least non that I can remember.

sunday SUNDAY!

Who’s ready for some SportsBall? I hope the winning team can get more layups than the other team! I managed to find the local channel playing the Patriots game this evening. I set the PVR <- I hate that. It’s a DVR people. It’s a Digital Video Recorder, not a Personal Video Recorder. Jesus Christ sometimes Canada is slow.

Coffee is ready.

It’s gonna be an excitement filled day here. Jurassic World is up next, and I have Rocky Horror songs still stuck in my head, and I still need to watch Twilight.
