It's Sunday. Do you know what that means? It's the only night of the week I watch television. Grey's Anatomy is on tonight! I think I've gotten Jeremy hooked on the show as well.

Listen to this song and see if it puts you in the mood to see tonight's episode.

I love Tegan & Sara. I was pleasantly surprised to see this song on the soundtrack. The entire disk is fantastic. I'm so glad I picked it up. I've listened to it a few dozen times already.

fix you up - Tegan & Sara

Jeremy and I spent a good part of yesterday afternoon rearranging our bedroom. It started with a simple Saturday afternoon cleaning and ended up looking like an entirely new room. Everything was pulled out, cleaned and put back in a different spot. A few unnecessary items were thrown away. We're pretty happy with the new "layout." Neither of us realized how large our room actually is.

I had to work all day today - from nine-thirty this morning until eight-thirty tonight. Blah. I hate the end of the month. Jeremy drove up to see me at lunch which made the long day so much more tolerable. Then I got to come home and see his smiling face. I love coming home to him. I love that we are living together again. I love knowing that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. I am so happy. Life is perfect.

Tomorrow we are both working the same hours so we will get to spend most of the day together. Then tomorrow night we are going to the bar with a bunch of friends for a Halloween party. It should be a good time.

Jeremy moved back in with me. He went to his house while I was at work today, packed up all of his belongings and moved back where he belongs - with me. There aren't words to describe how happy I am. The mistakes that we made are in the past and we are ready to move forward together.

Here is a list of CD's that Jeremy and I have purchased over the last week:

311: Don't Tread On Me

Cake: Pressure Chief

Death Cab For Cutie: Plans

Depeche Mode: Playing The Angel

Grey's Anatomy: Original Soundtrack

Mest: Photographs

Modest Mouse: Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Story Of The Year: In The Wake Of Determination

The All-American Rejects: Move Along

We are quite the amusing pair to see in any store that sells music, movies, video games, electronics, clothing, etc. That is one of the reasons we get along so well. We have the same taste in so many things. We are like kids in a candy store when we go shopping.

Speaking of music.. we have tickets to The Night 89x Stole Christmas show this year. I'm so geeked!

where does the good go - Tegan and Sara

Who has the resolution on their monitor set to 800 x 600? Don't proudly raise your hand! It's not something to brag about. Why would you do that? I thought my sister was the last person in the world to make the switch. It took me such a long time to convince her to change it, but now she would never go back. I don't understand the desire to have such a limited field of view.

i'm glad there is you - Jamie Cullum

I haven't been going to the movie theater lately, but here are a couple of flicks that must be seen on the big screen.

Derailed: Any film with Clive Owen as the leading man is a movie that I must see immediately, but that isn't the only reason. It does look like a really good movie. But, hey.. even if it isn't.. there's always Clive. I've got nothing to lose.

Aeon Flux: I have always been a huge fan. I have every episode in my movie library. I just hope Charlize Theron doesn't screw it up. I wouldn't have chosen her to play this role. This film will definitely determine her versatility. I hope she can pull it off - for my sake. I hate when great concepts are ruined because of poor casting choices.

I have changed my desktop to Charlize Theron as Aeon Flux. What do you think? Does she look like she can handle the role?

Here is the original Aeon Flux from MTV's liquid television:

I have been quite busy lately. Between work, school, kids and boyfriend I haven't had much time to write here. Even when I do have a few minutes I am not sure what I want to say. Things are going well, but I don't want to jinx that by writing all about it on my site. I will say that I am looking forward to watching my show tonight.

I tried to change my password on iChat from my cell phone and it was a complete disaster. I'm completely locked out of that account now. You'd think I could simply request whatever password they think I have, but the account was set up so long ago I have no idea where the email went. *grin*
So.. I deleted that account. My new aol, aim, iChat (whatever you happen to call it) screen name is neptunebaby01. Please make the necessary changes to your "buddy list." I will update the icon on my sidebar when I have more time.

I have been listening to Dredg all day long. I still haven't downloaded the rest of El Cielo, but I'm sure my boyfriend will bring it over with him so I can upload it and burn a copy for myself. I can't figure out why I haven't done that before now. We've been together almost as long as the disk has been in circulation.

Anyway, I have Dredg on my desktop now.

convalescent - Dredg

I took my lab exam yesterday and was very disappointed in myself when I left the campus. I didn't think I was as prepared as I could have been once seeing the actual test, but the grades were just posted and I got an "A."

I apologize for the lack of updates here over the past couple of days, but I have been reconciling with the love of my life. All is beautiful in the world once again.

I love having the ability to download music. I don't know what I would do without Acquisition. But I must admit that it can be quite frustrating when I am trying to find all the songs to burn a disk and can't find them all. I have downloaded and burned their latest disk, but I don't have all the tracks for El Cielo. I know who I can borrow the disk from to upload it, but that isn't the point. I want it burned tonight - because as I mentioned before, I am not a very patient person. Not that I will even be able to listen to it on my way to work tomorrow because Jamie Cullum is stuck in my mom's cd player. I can't wait to get my car back from the shop.

matroshka - Dredg

I have my name on the waiting list for a new skin. I can't wait until Mel starts working on it. The only bad thing about having a great designer is the waiting. I'm not the most patient person in the world.

I can't believe I paid for this site for two years. What was I thinking? Not that it was a lot of money, but I will probably never use it for anything. I don't have time for a photoblog. I rarely have the time to take photos, let alone publish them on a website.

I love Coldplay. I have so many wonderful memories wrapped up in their music. The Scientist carries the the most significant memory of all. Now it's on my desktop to remind me of how wonderful life can be and how important it is to fight for what you want in life.

change your mind - The Killers

Today has been a fairly uneventful day. I went to class and it was mighty boring. It wouldn't be so bad if things were more organized, but it seems like we are always waiting around while our professor is trying to hunt for something. Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and extremely knowledgeable. I'm thrilled that he is my biology professor. I just wish things ran a little more smoothly. I didn't take my lab test today as I anticipated. I will be taking it Monday evening instead. There just wasn't enough time to tackle it today.

I'm looking forward to my evening. I have big plans for Sweetest Day. *grin*

under the gun - The Killers

Oh, yeah. I don't drink alcohol. So.. "take lots with coffee" in my case.

I have three.. count them.. 1, 2, 3... biology exams this week. Yikes! I have my first lab exam tomorrow - which is different from my lecture exams for anyone that doesn't know - and I have two lecture exams. It's actually one lecture exam, but since it's on SEVEN chapters of material my professor is kind enough to break it into two. But what good is that when both parts have to be completed within the same week? I suppose it helps a little. I will take my lab exam tomorrow after class, the first part of the lecture exam sometime during the week and the second part next weekend.

I would say that I'll be happy when this class is over, but it only gets more difficult. I still have to take Microbiology, Pathophysiology, and Anatomy & Physiology I and II. Plus.. Medical Measurements and Mathematics, Intro to Nutrition, Lifespan Development, American Government and English II. Then I can apply to the nursing program. Sounds like a fun ride, doesn't it? Yeah, well.. my seat belt is buckled and I'm ready.

I am normally meticulous when choosing my desktop. Why? Because I want the desktop to match my site. It's quite ridiculous really. This time I decided to throw that idea out the window. I chose this desktop simply because I think Damien Rice is an amazing artist. So there you go.

treat me nice - Elvis Presley

I really should be studying for my next biology exam, but I am wiped out. I have been staying up late every night this week studying and I think I've had just about enough. I have decided that I am taking the night off. I'm going to do something that I really want to do. I have no idea what that is yet, but it won't involve reading or taking notes.

Evan had his first round of allergy injections this evening. He did very well. No tears at all. It's a good thing because he has to have the injections every week for the next nine months to one year. After that it's every two weeks, then three, then monthly. Once he reaches the monthly maintenance dosage, the treatment will last another three years. For crying out loud. I hope this works.

Jamie is having surgery tomorrow afternoon. The doctor is going to "set" the bone and put a pin in it. The break is in the base of his hand under his middle knuckle. Ouch! I hope he learns his lesson. I'm not counting on it, but I can hope.

Well, the grades have finally been posted for the first sociology exam. What do you think I got?

Yeah, I got an "A." Surprisingly, the class average was only seventy-six percent. Wow, I thought it was fairly easy and I only spent the last four days out of four weeks doing the work. I guess that makes me a pretty smart cookie, huh? *grin*

To celebrate all of my accomplishments over the past several months, I might just buy myself a little something. Isn't the new iPod fantastic? I must have one.

I am sitting at work bored out of my mind. Our system was down for the first hour I was here. All I can think of is how much I could be getting done elsewhere. But isn't it great that I can post here from my cell phone while I'm at work? I love it.

This past Saturday during my sociology class one of my fellow classmates asked the nutty professor when our grades would be posted for the test we were about to take. His answer: by Tuesday. Well, it's now nearly Thursday and I am still waiting for my grade to be posted. WTF? College is frustrating.

My car is going in the "shop" this evening for a thousand dollars worth of repairs. Well, it's actually about seven hundred in paint and two hundred in detailing. About a year and so many months ago my exboyfriend got into an accident while driving my car. The details of the accident were most likely fabricated because nothing is ever his fault. Anyway, the front end of the car was completely replaced and it looked like brand new. Problem solved, right? No.

A few months ago the paint job on the hood and front bumper started chipping and it now looks like shit. Even though it is only chipping on the parts of the car that were replaced, it's not covered by any warranty. The guy at the body shop says it's from stone chip damage and that isn't something they guarantee - even though it's ONLY chipping on the parts of the car that were replaced. Uh, huh. Whatever. So the money will be shelled out this time to make it look beautiful once again. That guy should pray it doesn't happen a second time.

I purchased Hot Fuss [limited edition] yesterday and I must say that it's a fantastic cd. It includes three bonus tracks that were previously unreleased in the US. I had been listening to my sister's copy of Hot Fuss and fell in love with it. Instead of simply burning my own copy, I decided to throw down the cash to buy the limited edition. The bonus tracks are well worth the fifteen dollars.

glamorous indie rock & roll - The Killers

I keep telling myself that when things slow down at work - meaning my bonus checks aren't as large as they have been - I am going to look into a position at a hospital. That hasn't happened yet. My bonus checks are still in the thousands every month. Obviously that's a terrific thing and I have no reason to complain, but I really want to find a job closer to home and one that is related to the career I am going to school for.

Life is full of hard choices. I am completely burned out at my current job, but I need the large bonus checks every month to put myself through school and to save money for when I get into the nursing program. I also have great benefits with my company that I would hate to give up. I know that I need to stay where I'm at while the "getting is good," but it's hard to resist the "itch" to make some changes in my life.

The Red Wings lost to the Canucks tonight. What a drag. Even so.. I'm happy to be watching hockey again.

My mom is leaving for Florida on Wednesday and won't be back until just before Thanksgiving. I hadn't realized how soon she was leaving. I won't see her for a month! What am I going to do? Wow, if I'm having separation anxiety about this trip, how am I going to deal with it when the parents leave at the beginning of February and don't come back until the end of April. *sniffle*

Well, I only had to endure sociology class for ninety minutes. Just long enough to turn in assignments, listen to my professor ramble on about nothing and take my first test. I think I did pretty well and if that is the case then I am confident that I can spend less time on sociology and more time on biology.

My parents are leaving for my sister's house soon and I will have the house to myself until tomorrow night. Not that I don't love my parents, but it's definitely nice to have a little quiet time around here.

I haven't really had much to write about since the dream incident. I know it's a silly thing to be upset about, but I can't shake the feeling it left me with. It's not something that is easily described. What happened in the dream was something that I wish more than anything could be true, but it never will be. To have the feeling that it was true, if only for a few moments in a dream, and then to wake up "empty handed" was like being deceived by my own mind. I'm not happy about that. In fact, it saddened me more than I'd like to admit.

Oh, fuck it all. I have a test to study for. Nothing is more important than that right now.

Sometimes dreaming isn't such a great thing. I hate when I dream about getting something I want or that something in my life has changed and then I wake up to find out that things are still exactly the same. It's a horrible feeling.

It's been an eventful week between Evan's surgery, doctors appointments and school. I have so much work to do for sociology class before Saturday morning. Luckily I have had the last four days off work to get it done. I still have so much to do though. Had I been doing it all along that wouldn't be the case, but I was so determined to comprehend biology that I neglected it. Now it's time to play catch up. Once that is done, I have to get back into my biology book. The fun never ends, does it?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. There are a lot of good looking men working at hospitals! Have you noticed? When I was at the hospital on Monday for Evan's surgery, the same blue-eyed "hottie" kept walking by and smiling at me. My mom, being as funny as she is, said that I definitely chose the right profession to get into. I would have to agree. I am seriously considering resigning from my current position and trying to get into a hospital as a nurses aid. It would be great experience and will be helpful when trying to get into the nursing program.

southern girl - Incubus

The Red Wings stomped the Blues tonight! Let's do it again tomorrow, ok?

I've really missed hockey.

Is he not the most mouth-watering thing you've ever seen? I am defintely obsessed. So much that he may just take over this site before long.

He's already replaced Angelina on my desktop. Take a look for yourself over there on my side bar.

As the last entry on my other site states... I'm moving back here. I just can't give up this site. It's been mine for too long and nothing has felt right since I bought the new one. I don't know what I was thinking. Apparently I wasn't thinking at all. So I'm here to stay. It's not like many people have changed the links on their blogroll anyway so it shouldn't be too much of a pain. I will most likely use the new site for a photo blog in the future, but I've already cancelled the hosting so there will be nothing there within a matter of minutes.

Feel free to check LJ for my early morning revelation.
