Swimming pools, Movie stars.....

Amusing things I found on Eonline


Christopher Walken is always a good reason to see a movie. Also Brian (not Austin anymore) Green and Ian Ziering are playing themselves. I think they are the hosts of the reality show or something. Christopher Walken plays the producer. Good times.

Unfortunately they look like a strange version of the Beverly Hillbillies.

Got to love Joey Pants

Once again proven my ability for recognizing actors (especially when they look very different now). This afternoon I caught some of The Goonies which Angela was watching. One of the bad guys totally looked like Joe Pantoliano but sometimes he didn't. I thought I was wrong but I was too curious so I had to look it up. I was completely right. I should never doubt myself when it comes to Joey Pants. My love for him runs just as deep as for The Jeff Goldblum. "Nobody touches the Goldblum."

I couldn't resist

I know I said I wouldn't be posting for awhile but I could resist this one.

I was watching Card Sharks and I realized that one of the contestants was Greg Grunberg (from Alias). Freaky. It was somewhere around 1987 (so he was in his early 20s). He said his occupation was selling lingerie to college girls.

Last post for awhile

There have been multiple computer problems I have been having. None of them major but they bug me. I am going to format my hard drive and start over again. Reloading everything will take me awhile.

Problem Solved

I think we have figured out the whole pay situation. The problem was a 2 people training me separately and both of them forgot to show me how to log my hours. I was on the schedule for my hours and I thought that was that -- how confusing. At least I still remember how long it took me each night.

My parents and grandma are stopping by soon. They are on their way to North Battleford to clean my grandma's apartment and finish up some final details.

I might be getting a weeks worth of work at an office. I hope it works out. I am supposed to be emailed details in the next day or so.

Actor Jerry O'Connell is on Oprah -- it is so painful. I can't watch anymore. It is one of those cases of finding a guy attractive until he opens his mouth. Mary, you will recall the "scoring digits" story on Conan. I think Jerry O'Connell is one of the greatest actors or all time...from the parts he has played, he made me believe he was an intelligent, interesting person.

The Tao of Pooh

I got my first paper cut at work tonight. Surprised I didn't get one before now. I got a migraine while working. I still have it but it is easier to deal with at home. I felt like vomiting for most of the night. I really wanted to go home but there was no one there to tell I was leaving. I bore through the pain and finished my work. At least it is really quiet at the store.

Another work related item: I have not been paid yet. I was supposed to be paid on the 7th and the 21st. It is supposed to be direct deposit. I just realized it this past weekend but I wasn't sure when it was supposed to happen. I talked to the night manager before my shift tonight. He checked in the safe to see if there cheques for me. There were none. He told me to call the store manager tomorrow. Hopefully this can be straightened out soon.

I should go to bed.

Weird Talent

I rock. I discovered a new talent: identifying Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs. Who is Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs you ask? He played Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington on Welcome Back, Kotter. I was watching Gilmore Girls and I thought to myself "Self, that looks like Washington from Mr. Kotter". I looked it up and was right. I think this talent must run in the family; my brother while watching Breakfast at Tiffany's said to my sister "Hey that looks like the guy from The A-Team." He was right, it was George Peppard.

On an unrelated note: I'm craving chocolate.

Robert Moog, Creator of Music Synthesizer, Dies at 71

Monkees fans, I don't remember what song Mickey Dolenz was playing the moog.

Storm on the horizon

As I look towards the west the clouds are looming. I see lightning flash. It is too far away to hear the thunder. A storm is approaching. You can smell it in the air. Close the windows and get inside.

Do you ever get the feeling something big and bad is going to happen? I’m bracing myself for the storm. I'm not just being paranoid. All the signs are there. I may not get out of it unscathed.

Stupid

I bought a laptop cooler last month. It went kaput. Boo. I hope I can get it exchanged.

One more thing that makes me miss Regina

Well if the owner endorses the place, it's GOT to be good!

Famous (and not so famous) Janices

This morning I was bored so I procrastinated from housework by looking up other Janices on the Internet. I hope you find this as amusing as I did.

This is the Janice show. You may not be aware that all women's shoes have female names. I'm glad my shoe is strappy with a heel.

Wedding Photos!

My sister has started posting some wedding photos. there promises to be more in the future.
Mary's Wedding Photos

I might just post ones that she doesn't have.

Last night at work I finished an hour early! I get paid for 3 hours no matter how long it takes. It was so exciting. It makes up for the hour extra the night before. It seemed like it had been pretty slow at the store. I'm still in a good mood about it. Hopefully things go quickly tonight too.

Strange but interesting fact: today is the birthday of Edward Norton, Patrick Swayze, Christian Slater and Robert Redford. Crazy.

Random Sillies

Hey, I'm back. Well, I've actually been back for a couple days but I finally had a little time for blogging.

I regret to inform you that this is not an update of my recent adventures. I don't know when I'll have time for that. You just might have to call me if you need or want to know.

Things I have found in the last while:



Before I recount my tales of Pinelow, I am going to make a photo album for my blog from my sister's wedding. that will take some time. I still plan to post some stories too (even though it has been a month).

All work and no play makes Jan a dull girl

I can't believe it is almost a week since I posted last.
Quick recap of the last week:

* Toes are better but still not great.

* Went to a family reunion on Monday. My grandma's cousin and her daughter are visiting from England.

* Had my first 2 days of work. It took me 4 hours the first night then half hour less last night. I hope eventually it will only take 3 hours.

* Went to my (great) Auntie Winnie's funeral yesterday in North Battleford. I got a ton of stuff from my grandma because she is moving in with my parents.

* Tonight one of my roommates come home.

* I have burned approximately 14 DVDs in the last week. I'm trying to free up computer space.

* I leave for Pinelow on Saturday morning.

I need to nap before supper. There may be more stories but all I can think about is sleeping. Going to bed after 2am does that to a girl.
