lucky me
Mood:  hug me
They're back to square one with my car. They have no clue what's wrong with the a/c -- the part that they ordered didn't fix the problem and according to my dear service manager, there are 3 mechanics working on it that are completely stumped. Glad it's under warranty -- I would hate to see the bill for this!

I'm now convinced that God just doesn't want me to have air conditioning.

Eric "hopes" this will be straightened out before the end of the day... I think otherwise I won't get it back until Tuesday, unless they're open tomorrow, which I'm not sure of.

Maybe they can just replace the whole car. ugh. Sweet Roxy better not turn out to be a lemon.

My tummy isn't feeling very good today. :( They're letting us go home early today -- 3:30... since there's not really anyone here. Still no word about my car.

my fun day
Mood:  lazy
Now Playing: matchbox 20
Topic: Miscellaneous goings-on
The biggest problem of my day was really the fact that I had an appointment at 5 at Split Ends to get my hair done. Since my car was still in the shop, Kurt was telling me that I should cancel my appointment... I kept telling him that I was sure that my car would be done -- and if it wasn't, I would still go get it so that I could drive to & from my appointment. Not to mention that you should give 24 hours notice for cancellations!

He couldn't take me home from it because he's going to the Velvet Revolver show tonight at the 9:30 club. In retrospect, I probably should have gotten that other ticket, but oh well. $80 is a lot of money.

Oh, so back to the car... sorry, I'm really tired and still haven't eaten anything. I'm thinking that my car was going to be done ASAP today, since when I went to pick it up last night the problem wasn't technically fixed. I call the service manager (who was incredibly nice, btw) at around 11 to check on things (they'd called me at 9:30 the day before saying it was done)... he apologized profusely, said that they were looking at it now. He said that the refrigerant must have leaked out, and since the dye was in the system, it should be easy to find where it was leaking. I told him that I had an appointment at 5 and I would prefer to have my car back by then. He told me that he didn't think it would be a problem and he'd make sure everything was expedited. Right before 3 I get a phone call. He goes, "Well, your ac isn't leaking, everything was full and we really couldn't figure out why that had happened, since the ac still isn't working... so we had to take the dash apart to get to the computer and check some stuff... it turns out that there is something wrong inside the dash with the actual controls, and your car is all apart right now and we're going to have to keep it overnight... sorry." Argh.

Well fortunately I know that I have a ride TO the appointment, because Kurt decided to get his hair cut as well and got an appointment at the same place & time as mine. The problem was that Kurt had to pick up Blaine at 6:30 to go to the concert... I wasn't going to be done until 6:30, so he wouldn't have time to take me home.

I was downstairs explaining my frustrations to Teddra when Bob came down to sign out... and he said that he could pick me up! I didn't get much of a chance to talk to him before he left, so I continued to think of other options of getting home... it was decided by a bunch of people that a cab would be too expensive. Bob was due back at 4, but still hadn't showed up by the time I left work at 4:45... so I left him a somewhat rambling voicemail asking if he really could pick me up from my appointment that I would be eternally grateful. I left him the number to the salon and everything... while Kim was foiling my hair, Bob called the salon and told them to tell me that he would be there to pick me up at 6:30! And he was! I was very happy, Bob is such a nice guy... I told him I'd treat him to lunch one day next week and he just said that he knows I would do the same for him -- this is true! :) Ugh, if only the other project managers at work were like him... my job would be so much more pleasant. We actually passed Kurtis on the way home and honked, but he was rocking out to whatever was in the CD player and didn't see us. :-P~ He called me an hour or so ago to make sure I got home okay.. hehe. Thought that was kind of funny.

Ahh......... so here it is, close to 10 o'clock and I'm doing a little mini facial on myself... my skin has really taken a beating lately. I don't know why it looks so bad, I take pretty good care of it. I may have to bite the bullet and get a facial in the next week or two. I think that I'll try the Body Garden... Brenda said that it has been the best she's been to so far. Then again, there is that new place in Severna Park.. the emilio vicenzi (sp?) escape place... now THAT looked really nice! I think that I'll try there next, hehe.

Well, it's getting late and I'm starving, so I'm going to make myself a PB&J sammich and then read for a lil bit.

Goodnight!

more 24 stuff
Mood:  silly
Topic: TV, music, movies, etc.
I have to post some of these... they are so imaginative and a lot of them are absolutely hysterical. Some of you might not get this since you don't watch 24, but I just have to take up some more space on my blog. Since I haven't been as good about posting everyday, I'll make up for it by posting 3 times today, hehe.

Anyway, here are some things people are saying on the 24 messageboard... the topic is Best "Should have been said" lines... I'll try to give some insight on the postings.

(Jane and Kim in the back of the car, on the way to CTU.)
Jane: I can't believe it. The person I love doesn't exist. But he's still my father. What am I supposed to do?

Kim: How often did you see him?

Jane: A few times a year. He'd always bring me something. It was always perfect -- it was like he just knew.

Kim: Maybe he did know.

Jane: What do you mean?

Kim: He's got people watching you round the clock. What did you think he was, psychic?

Jane: Listen, he's my father! I thought he was just, you know, really intuitive.

Kim: Intuitive? A man who sees you twice a year? What are you, a sociology major or something?

Jane: What about you? You didn't even graduate high school, let alone college, you dummy!

Kim: No, I dropped out of high school. And yet with next to no skills I'm pulling down 80 grand a year working at CTU. And where are you working? The f'n *library*! So who's the dumb one now?

Jane: At least I don't give myself helmet hair to look older.

Kim: (pauses.) Well, you got me there.

Kim is one of the most annoying characters on 24, she is Jack Bauer (lead character)'s daughter and has generally made herself a pain throughout all 3 seasons. Jane is the daughter of the terrorist who is attempting to release a deadly virus and infect the good old USA

Kim: Dad why didn't you tell me you were using?
Jack: I was too embarissed, I thought you would think less of me.
Kim: Well if I was going to think less of you dad I would have after you killed all those people.
Jack: What can I do to make it up to you?
Kim: Buy me a pony?
Jack: Done.

Again, Kim is the annoying daughter. Jack had to use drugs (heroin) to get in (undercover) with these terrorists (the Drazens) and make them think that he was one of them. Jack also kills a lot of people, in case you didn't figure that out...but he's the good guy, really!

Penticoff: If you ever want to see your daughter again, get me out of this, Bauer.
Jack: How do you know my name?
Penticoff: I used to date your daughter.
Jack: Dammit, can't she date anyone credible? I guess she really is as stupid as she looks.

George: The last time I let you interrogate somebody you shot him in the heart.
Jack: Okay, well you do have a good point. This time I'll aim for the head.

Jack: "I'm sorry Ryan, but I swear, after you're dead...we're not following any more of his demands! I promise!"

Jack had to kill Ryan (his boss) in order to stop the terrorists from releasing the virus.

Jane: Please, turn it off. I don't want to see anymore!
Jack (desperate): I don't want to see anymore either!
[Kim comes in]
Kim: Are you guys watching American Idol again?
ROTFLMAO!!!

Jack: Stephen Saunders... this is Jack Bauer. Please come out the front door, with your hands above your head. Stephen you are completely surrounded, there is no way around this.
Music from an ice cream truck is then heard from a distance.
Jack: Ice cream!
Chase: Ice cream!
Everbody: ICE CREAM!
They all rush to the ice cream truck shoving each other out of the way as Saunders leaves the building. He starts walking in the opposite direction but then stops.
Saunders: Oh I can't resist an ice cream sandwich.
Saunders then rushes to the ice cream truck as well.

Palmer: Jack, Saunders just made another demand.
Jack: What is it?
Palmer: He wants Chappelle's body to be taken to the train yard with a Easy Bake Oven with cookies made by...by...KIM in less then a hour.
Jack: SON OF A B!TCH! Why not Chloe!
Palmer: Im sorry to be putting this on you Jack but theres no one else.
Jack: What kind of cookies does he need?
Palmer: Does that really matter aren't you worried about Chappelle?
Jack: You expect me to buy a Easy Bake Oven and cookies in less then 1 hour? Ryan is no problem but Kim cooking is the almost like Kim with a cougar. If im going to do this I will need the best cookies ever!
Palmer: Well I can send Wayne over with some chocolate chip cookies.
Jack: NO OREOS! And make that 2 packs, I, I mean he might get hungry.

Nina: Jack the coast guards found a body. Its Kim.
Jack: What, noooooooooooo!
*Jack kills the Drazens and heads for CTU and crashes into Nina's car*
Nina: Jack dont shoot, you think I work for the Drazens but I dont.
Jack: Who do you work for and who would make you petrayed us, your friends!
Nina: I work for Ashton Kutcher now. You just got Punk'd!

President Palmer: This is Palmer
Stephen Saunders: Now, Mr. President, for your next task, I need you to put me in contact with someone on your staff.
Palmer: Who?
SS: Ms. Hugginkiss. First name, Amanda.
Palmer: Hold on... *to the cabinet* I need Amanda Hugginkiss people
*cabinet members snicker*
Palmer: What? Come on, this is important, get me Amanda Hugginkiss!
*cabinet erupts into laughter*
Palmer *annoyed*: Wayne, why can't I get Amanda Hugginkiss?
Wayne *laughing*: Maybe your s tandards are too high, David.
Palmer *sudden look of realization and rage, yells in the phone*: Ooooh, listen you, when we catch you I'm gonna rip out your eyeballs and stuff 'em down your pants so you can watch me kick the cr@p out of you!
Saunders: *laughing hysterically and hanging up*

Saunders: You will call a press conference about anything you like. But at some point, Mr. President, you must use the phrase "purple monkey dishwasher". That will be the signal.

Saunders: For your next assignment, I need you to find a woman in Los Angeles for me. Her name is Mya Weiner.
Palmer: Alright, fine
*Palmer calls CTU.
Palmer (over loudspeaker): Attention CTU. I need you to scour the city for Mya Weiner. I need Mya Weiner found at once.
*Everyone is laughing.
Chloe: I know computers are not easy for everybody, but t sure sounds like the President is having trouble with his attachments!
Palmer: Has anyone found Mya Weiner yet... son of a...
Saunders: No, Mr. President but be sure to let us know when you do! *hangs up chuckling!


Tony: Jack, can I see you in my office for a minute?
(Jack opens the glass doors, only to be confronted by the American Idol judges)
Randy: Dawg, I can see that you are doing your best to fight terrorists, dawg, but I am just not feeling it, dawg!
Paula: Oh Jack, I just love what you are doing! You are doing so well and I think you have it all! You are certainly going to stop this virus from getting out and killing us all! You're so wonderful!
Simon: Jack, you are the worst Anti-Terrorism agent ever! Absolutely dreadful! Just terrible.
Jack: Screw you, Simon
(Jack then pulls out his gun and blows Simon away)

Jack: Saunders, come out now and we'll give you a chocolate malt!
Saunders: Nice try, Bauer. But one of my computer screens is showing that "Best 'Should have been said' lines" thread on the 24 forum. And the current fad is people making little stories about me giving in to ice cream!
Jack: Aw, crap! He's read the forum too!
Chase: Hey, I thought I was the only one who went there...
Jack: You go there too?
Agent Baker: I've been there.
Chase: Now I know I'm not a nerd...
Jack: Heh heh... is Teri DIED?
Chase: lol omg that's funny
Baker: rotfl lol lol lol!
Jack: ROTFLMAO sry i cudnt resist
Chase: lol dont worry bout it
Saunders: Uh...
*Saunders sneaks out the back door*

Sherry: What I'm about to tell you, I will deny to my grave if you use it against me.
Keeler: And considering the show we're on, you might get there soon!
Hehe... sure enough, she was gone last week... Sherry was President Palmer's scheming ex-wife. Very good villain.

Jane Saunders (Re: Jack): He scares me.
Tony: Yeah, Jack scares a lot of people.

Chase: How come we're not going into the building, Jack?
Jack: We're gonna wait it out.
Chase: What makes you think he'll come out.
Jack: Saunders, we know you have to come out eventually!
Saunders: That's not exactly true, Jack.
Jack: Have you forgotten? Friends has its finale tonight and there's no TV in there!
Saunders: NOOOO! I Surrender! I have to find out what happens with Ross and Rachel. Damn you, Jack!
Jack: Wow, love really does conquer all!

Saunders: You have thirty minutes to send me a list of their identities.
Palmer: That's impossible.
Saunders: If you don't, the virus will be released.
Palmer: No, you don't understand, it's impossible. Our systems are using AOL! I couldn't send an e-mail in thirty minutes!

Old Lady: Excuse me, sir, can you get that liter of soda for me off the top shelf?
Stockboy: Sure, ma'am.
He climbs the ladder and reaches for it but all of a sudden Jack runs by and knocks the ladder down.
Jack: Get out of the way!
Gun shots are fired as Jack hides behind a table of Bounty towels. He reloads his gun and fires two shots. A man is shown getting hit and falling through a refrigerator in the dairy section as milk spills everywhere.
Jack: Everybody stay back!
Jack goes up to the guy.
Jack: Tell me now you son of a b*tch, who do you work for?!
Narrator: Must be "24" season.

Kate: What was that about?
Jack: That was about my daughter.
Kate: Is she involved in this somehow?
Jack: No, she has absolutely nothing important to do this season. Haven't you been watching?

Jack: Make sure that you do not reveal yourself until we see Saunders. We have crisp meat waiting on the side and a squadron of mayo in case he tries anything. Chase, take the avocados to the other side of the lettuce and make sure that they have their toasted buns ready. Jalapenos are 30 seconds away.
Tony: She's my sauce, Jack! MY SAUCE!!
Narrator: Can't stop thinking about the new toasted sandwich from Safeway? Grab one today.

Palmer: Jack, Saunders called me with another demand.
Jack: What is it?
Palmer: This isn't an easy one Jack, so I'll be as blunt as I can be. He wants Ryan Chappelle dead.
Jack: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Palmer: It gets even worse. He also wants you to decapitate Kim with a hacksaw like you did to Marshall Goren.
Jack: What?!
Palmer: Nah I'm just f*ckin with ya
Probably one of my favorites. :)

Ramon: I don't need you anymore, Jack. My brother died because of you! Because of YOU! BECAU-- **gets shot in the arm by a Delta team**
Jack: Jesus Christ, Ramon, didn't you learn from Kingsley not to make speeches before you kill me? He did and look what happened!
Ramon: I didn't watch Season 2, Jack. You ruined the ending for me!!!
Jack: Oops. Sorry I ruined it for ya. Well, might as well put you out of your misery. Thats what I'd want if YOU ruined it for me.**Kills Ramon**

"Right now, Fox is planning a major strike against my show. American Idol is taking over with two-hour shows for four weeks. The President has pre-empted one of my best episodes. And people that I work with may be involved in both. I'm federal agent Jack Bauer... and I'm really fed up with the government and American Idol!"
Haha! Another good one..

*Chloe is searching through Jack's office*
*she finds the heroin*
Chloe: Oh my... Jack...
*she picks up the phone*
Jack: What?!
Chloe: Jack... we need to talk.
*the camera pans to a long shot of a park with birds chirping in it*
|C|O|U|R|A|G|E|
The anti-drug.

JACK: Ryan, I'm sorry. Any last words?
CHAPPELLE: Chappelle... out!
RYAN SEACREST: That's my line! Kiefer, let me shoot him! Come on, I know how to hold a gun! How did you get your hair so blond?

Jack shoots both Ryans.
JACK: Oh, thank God that's over with.
(to the man in the Saunders van)
Hey, tell Saunders I have a special surprise for him.
VAN DRIVER: You shot Ryan Seacrest? NOOOOOOO!!!

(a newscast)
CATHY MCSUNSHINE: Metrosexuals all over the world are wearing black silk-and-leather Armani armbands to mourn the death of their king, beloved television and radio personality Ryan Seacrest.


*Julia shoots Sherry*
Wayne: NO!
Julia: (singing) I shot the Sherry, but I did not shoot the deputy!

Palmer: Jack, there's going to be a massive terrorist attack on Los Angeles today, and we need you to save the world again.
Jack: Can this wait one minute sir. Do you have any idea how longs it's been since I've been to the bathroom!?!


Palmer: Jack, I'm presenting you with a medal for your courage.
Jack: A medal? Geez, you could at least give me some Depends or something, I never get to pee!
Tony: I wish I got a medal.
Kaufman: You'd be blingin'.
Tony: Thanks, Milo.
Kaufman: My name's Adam, not Milo.
Tony: Right. Where the hell did Milo go? I haven't seen that guy in three and a half years!
LOL

Jack: Saunders latest demand is to kill you.
Ryan: Is this a joke?
Jack: Did I say knock knock?


Wayne to Sherry.
" I'm Wayne Brady B!tch."
Haha! Even though that should have been Palmer..

Jack and Kim are in the room with Nina on the floor, half Dead:

Jack: here you go Kim. Here is the gun. now you hold it like this see, and you pull this back like this to load it. now let it snap back. now aim the gun at your target... no not Ryan, wh has just walked through the door, he can be next. point it at Nina's head.

*kim does as he says*

Kim: OMG! she's moving, she's moving!

Jack: shoot her kim, shoot her!

Kim: I can't!

Jack: Point the gun at her head, and shoot her!

*kim fires a couple of bullets into nina's leg, missing her head completely*

Jack: is she dead?

Kim: i think so

Jack: shoot her again, kim. shoot her again.

*Kim makes a couple of dents in the floor*

Ryan: Jack, just shoot her. the producers are waiting to start the ticking clock...

Jack: no ryan, she has to learn. Kim, hold your hand steady, that's it. now pull the trigger

*Sparks fly out from the machinery around them*

Ryan: Jack just shoot her before the building is completely destroyed.

*jack takes the gun off Kim and points it at her head*

Ryan: No, not Kim, Jack. here...

(is this getting to stupid yet?)

*Jack turns back to Nina, but only sees an empty floor and scattered machinery parts*


Saunders has just been shot dead... Brad Hammond: "Tony we need you back on the floor!"

Brad Hammond: "And bring a mop!"
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!


Chase: (looking at ax) You have to.
Jack: Ok.
*Jack goes and gets ax and slices it through chase's head*
Jack: That didnt work.
heehee!!!

Chase: Jack, do it. (Talking about the axe)
Jack: Chase, I am sorry, I just don't do axes.
*Jack calls Tony*
Jack: Tony, I'm gonna need a hacksaw.



Well that should have kept you busy for a while! As you can see, lots of people die in my beloved show -- but it's so great!

car to dealer take two...
Mood:  quizzical
Looks like we're in for another round of thunderstorms tonight... fine with me, I love storms. :) The thunder has started and I see some lightning, too.. hopefully there won't be any power interruption. It's really coming down! I'm surprised that we don't have a severe thunderstorm warning... I guess this storm isn't severe enough. Of course, weather.com has everything wrong... it says that it's 78 degrees and partly cloudy! Hmm. Their radar doesn't show any green (rain) covering this area, either, so I guess that the storm that's going on outside the window right now isn't really happening. :-P~

Well, my car is still in the shop. I went to pick it up after work today... get through checkout fine, everything is being covered under the warranty... start my car, turn on the AC and......... yeah. It's still blowing hot air. Wait another minute. Still hot. Adjust a few settings... yep, still blowing warm air!! :-P~ I waited a good 5 minutes to make sure I wasn't going crazy, Kurt verified that it wasn't just me... and I pull my car back in to the service bay, tell the guy that the AC still isn't working. He must have thought I was full of it, because he got in & started the engine, tried revving it, messing with the controls. Then he agreed that yes, the AC still wasn't working. He figures that the refrigerant leaked out while it was sitting, so now they'll have to figure out where it's leaking from and fix that. :-/ I just hope that it's done in reasonable time tomorrow, because I have a hair appointment at 5 and Kurtis is going to the Velvet Revolver show tomorrow night, so he can't take me to and from the salon. He's also thinking about going to Ohio to visit his sister this weekend, so I'll need my car to get around, obviously. :-P~

Ugh.

Oh well, it could be worse. At least it's the air conditioning and not a major problem... although as hot as it's been, it could be viewed as a major problem, hehe.

That's it... better post this, because it looks like the storm is picking up again.
