merely mimicking
Damn the man: He ateses my salad. I left some salad in the fridge and was going for it for breakfast. But no. It's gone. Gone. Well fine then, says I, I'll just have some toast and make crumbs all over the place. And eggs. And hot chocolate. Now I feel better... ah, revenge is sweet. I've been thinking of getting my own place and it set me to thinking. For one thing, it'd be cheaper to stay here and Rob wants me to stay since it'll help his rent out too. On the other hand, I always feel pressured to be neat and clean and not make much mess here. And the kitchen side of things is ridiculous: theres a two-burner hot plate and that's pretty well it. I'm really keen on working on my culinary skills and I just can't even begin to do anything about that here. Without so much as a proper stove or counter space, how can a girl learn to cook? But, it's way cheaper to stay here... few hundred bucks and I'm cleared for a place to stay, while some other place: well, it'd be at least three hundred even sharing with Rikki, plus phone and utilities and heat and all that good stuff. I just don't know!
No Country For Old Men
So I discovered a man named Cormac McCarthy the other day. It was a book left in a room by one of the occupants, and I took it home with me and read it. Here is the opening:
The deputy left Chigurh standing in the corner of the office with his hands cuffed behind him while he sat in the swivelchair and took off his hat and put his feet up and called Lamar on the mobile.
Just walked in the door. Sheriff he had some sort of thing on him like one of them oxygen tanks for emphysema or whatever. Then he had a hose that run down the inside of his sleeve and went to one of them stunguns like they use at the slaughterhouse. Yessir. Well that's what it looks like. You can see it when you get in. Yessir. I got it covered. Yessir.
When he stod up out of the chair he swung the keys off his belt and opened the locked desk drawer to get the keys to the jail. He was slightly bent over when Chigurh squatted and scooted his manacled hands beneath him to the back of his knees. In the same motion he sat and rocked backward and passed the chain under his feet and then stood instantly and effortlessly. If it looked like a thing he'd practiced many times it was. He dropped his cuffed hands over the deputy's head and leaped into the air and slammed both knees against the back of the deputy's neck and hauled back on the chain.
They went to the floor. The deputy was trying to get his hands inside the chain but he could not. Chigurh lay there pulling back on the bracelets with his knees between his arms and his face averted. The deputy was flailing wildly and he'd begun to walk sideways over the floor in a circle, kicking over the wastebasket, kicking the chair across the room. He kicked shut the door and he wrapped the throwrug in a wad about them. He was gurgling and bleeding from the mouth. He was strangling on his own blood. Chirgurh only hauled the harder. The nickelplated cuffs bit to the bone. The deputy's right carotid artery burst and a jet of blood shot across the room and hit the wall and ran down it. The deputy's legs slowed and then stopped. He lay jerking. Then he stopped moving altogether. Chigurh lay breathing quietly, holding him. When he got up he took the keys from the deputy's belt and released himself and put the deputy's revolver in the waistband of his trousers and went into the bathroom.
Now tell me that man is not an amazing writer! I love his style...
Wild Montana Skies
John Denver and Emmylou Harris sang a duet called "Wild Montana Skies." The chorus goes like this:
Oh Montana, give this child a homeGive him the love of a good family and a woman of his ownGive him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyesGive him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
The song itself is great---but I keep stumbling over the second line of the chorus: 'Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own.' Somehow I balk at the way in which the distinction 'good family' seems to refect upon the child. The way I read it, it seems to be indicating that the good family is simply an extension of the man. And the 'woman of his own'.... well, I think many a woman would resist the concept of belonging to a man, let along being given to someone, like property. Anyhow. I still like the song, I still listen to it, but damnit I cringe everytime he sings 'and a woman of his own'.

Woot! Got's me a kitty!... Kitty got's me!
Woot! Got's me a kitty!... Kitty got's me!
I'm not quite sure which it is: after all: the cat showed up on my doorstep, I feed it, water it, pet it, and it sleeps in the middle of what was my bed. So I suppose, if I were being honest, kitty got's me. Pretty black kitty too... but on the skinny side, so I'm guessing it's been on it's own for a bit, but friendly as all heck, litter trained... what more can you ask in a kitty? Seems to be neutered too, if it is a male, or maybe it's a female, I dunno... Figure two days is a bit early in the relationship to be turning kitty upside down and poking round those nether regions, if y'know what I mean. Lil' sis figures I oughta give it a bath, check it for lice, etc.... yuh, that's one wiry kitty that's been living outside: no way it's getting a bath. At least not without serious injury to myself, so I think for now it get's to continue sleeping in the middle of my bed in peace. Anyhow, sorry so short, but I'm not in the blogging mood. Seems I only get blogging when I'm pissed off at someone/something... but then, who really wants to know that I need to do dishes, the cat scattered kitty litter crystals all over the bedroom floor, oh, and I have to remember to change the sheets this weekend. Ya. Didn't think so. Anyhow, waves to all readers...

Dangit, back to graveyards
So it's another week at the mill... got home from Craig's a few hours ago, had a nappy, now up and at 'em getting ready for work. Hopefully it'll be a good week... I know one of the guys I'm working with is a complete jokester, can be a bit annoying when he starts bugging you but I think it'll be a fun week. Here's hoping.
The weekend was fun, despite being short as heck. Saturday morning I decided that I wanted to dress up, just for the heck of it, so I dug out my only pair of black dress pants (everything else being jeans) and found a pair of brown boots (lovely four inch heels, rrrrrrrow) and then spent the next hour doing makeup and agonizing over whether brown boots are fashionably ok with black pants. I posted on a forum board I am on, but before I left I got nothing but a bunch of men saying: wear what you want, wear what feels comfortable. *sigh. Ya, but what if what you want to wear is what other people will think looks good? :S Anyhow, wore the brown boots and black pants (and an inch of makeup, hehe) and looked mighty fine, if I do say so myself. When I got back tonight I checked the thread and a few women posted later that it was a definite no-no, in fact, it was similar to wearing a brown belt and black shoes on men. Huh.
Craig got back from Victoria yesterday so I picked him up from the airport and gave him a ride into town... kinda made me feel special too to be able to look hot every now and then again, heck, I dressed up for every date when we started going out, now it's a once in a month thing that he sees me with makeup. He's very nice about it, says I don't need it anyhow, which I don't... but I know I look better with it, who doesn't eh. That was one nasty run-on sentence!
Back to the weekend: Craig and I went out last night with two of his co-workers, one of whom is a really nice guy that I would have sworn was gay but apparently is married with a child (?!?!) and the other who is a young guy, the kind of guy that says lewd things about the waitress, cracks jokes about hot chicks walking by, and in general is a fine young, upstanding gentleman. After dinner the other two went off to do whatever, and Craig and I went up to UNBC and parked overlooking the city. 'Twas very pretty. All those lights spread out below, some music on the stereo, and some heart-to-heart.... damn the motherf***** g*dawful, c***sucking bloody F-ING bucket seats though. Grrr. Anyhow. Met up with the boys again, and went to the Rum Jungle. And let me tell you, it was a 180 degree difference between the last time I was in a bar like that back when I was single and now that I had a bf to cuddle with and say cynical things about the Jungle. The setup of the bar, for those of you that haven't been there, is there's a dance floor on the bottom, a bar, obviously, then you can go upstairs where there's a second bar and a railing where you can stand/sit around, depending upon your skill at shoving people off the stools, and lean over the railing to watch the dancers. Let's just say it get's mighty animalistic down there.
And today, back home again, jiggety jig, and now I have to get ready for work. And write another quick email to N.
Oh, and PS: Some good songs I heard lately:
Corb Lund Band - The Truth Comes Out
Pam Tillis - Mi Vida Loca
Mika - Grace Kelly
Scissor Sisters - Don't Feel Like Dancing
Meatloaf - I Would Do Anything For Love
Reba McEntire - The Fear of Being Alone

Another scintillating evening at the mill....
Ah, I do so love my job...
Tonight went by rather fast... went whipping round all morning in town, did laundry, got food, got new car insurance, went to the doctor's, did some other stuff I forget.... Then chugged a cup of green tea that i just bought, instead of the cup of black tea I usually have, and a travel mug of coffee, and off to the merry merry sawmill it was. I was crashing by first coffee so I had another cup of black tea, and by lunch I was getting downright squinty eyed, so what did Christine do? Yes, she did too! She had a caffeine pill. Oh no. So she flew on through to second coffee where she chugged two glasses of water to wash out the caffeine, which, by the end of the shift, had done absolutely diddly squat. So then she proceeded to whiz on home in her flashy 86 Jetta and jumped online to try to type the caffeine buzz out of her system before bedtime.
In other news, Sleezeball is still Sleezeball... surprise surprise. No definite reasons why, other than the obnoxious habit he has of standing too close. And simply his... sleeziness. Words elude me tonight. Of course, maybe it could be that he is a really nice guy and I'm a prejudiced bitch. Ha! I crack myself up.
In other news: the lug loader operator who seems to be new, or old... prolly old and had been off the time I've been working there, anyhow, lug loader operator... was really quiet Mon-Tues, just sat in his chair and did his job. Today, he was off the wall. Everytime there was a jamup he'd wave at the heavens like g*d hated him, or shake his finger at me... you get the idea. Anyhow. The message board hangs right above his head and the time always flashes on there from time to time, so I look that way every now and then just to check the time. So every time I look, he starts shrugging, or waving his hands, or going "what?".... at the end of shift we passed each other and I tried to tell him that I was just looking at the time and he shouldn't be worried or freaked out. He of course responds don't worry, you're not freaking me out... then chases me down to get my name and introduce himself... I think that tomorrow I shall have to happen to 'mention' in his presence the fact I have a bf... hopefully, unlike Sleezeball, he can respect that and forget about things.
Mother Nature dumped snow on us for the first day of spring, ya, we love you too, ya old hag....
Hmmmm.... I think I go now and lie in bed and stare wideeyed into the blackness.... I've taken to posting comments on walls on Facebook which I should probably do while more or less in control of my faculties, which, I, currently, am most certainly not. Wheee heeeeee......

UEFA Champions League
Five-time champions Liverpool reached the UEFA Champions League final on Tuesday after beating Chelsea 4-1 on penalties after the tie ended 1-1 on aggregate.
Liverpool had levelled the clash through Daniel Agger in the 22nd minute - Chelsea won the first leg 1-0 - while the hosts had a goal by Dirk Kuyt ruled out in the first-half of extra-time for offside.
Kuyt, though, had the last laugh as he rifled home the decisive penalty after Pepe Reina had saved two of Chelsea's penalties by Arjen Robben and Geremi.
For inspirational captain Steven Gerrard it was a nice way to respond to Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's remarks that Liverpool were a 'little' side.
"Jose Mourinho has been a credit to English football," said Gerrard. "However he makes us laugh some times.
"It was a bit disrespectful to call us a little club, yeah a little club that has reached two European Cup finals in three years."
Mourinho, whose position at the club has been linked to success in the Champions League, refused to accept that his team had been beaten by the better side - even though Liverpool hit the bar through Kuyt, and saw two great efforts saved by Petr Cech.
"There are not many words to be said at this moment, it is the kind of moment when everybody tries to be strong," said the Portuguese handler, who won the Champions League with Porto in 2004.
"They (the Chelsea players) have a lot of reasons to be proud of themselves.
"We were the best team even against a team that just plays for the Champions League. We were the only side who tried to win over 90 to 120 minutes."
Benitez, who guided Liverpool to victory two years ago, winning again on penalties over AC Milan after coming back from 3-0 down, was typically understated.
"Yes every player and supporter were heroes," he said. "We were confident because we had players who practise penalties every session, at least three of them."
A special nightKuyt, who had said on Sunday that they regarded Mourinho as a laughing stock in the Liverpool dressing room because of his increasingly laughable comments, said it was almost like a dream.
"It is very special for me, my first final in my first year at Liverpool," said the Dutch international striker. "We believed in it. Pepe was marvellous."
Reina, who had also been the hero in Liverpool's shootout victory over West Ham in last season's FA Cup final saving three of the four penalties, was typically modest.
"It was an important win. We've reached the last step and now we must climb it," he said.
Gerrard, though, paid the Spanish 'keeper a rich compliment.
"Pepe is the best goalkeeper in the world. I am not just saying it because he is standing there. We knew all about him before he came here and his ability at saving penalties."
Gerrard, who was ice cool in taking his penalty, said the victory was right up there with the most memorable nights at Anfield.
"It is obviously one of the best. To go and do it again after being a goal down is special," he remarked. "The atmosphere helped, as did the manager's tactics. (You have) got to give the players credit, we stepped over the line and fought for every ball together."
Liverpool will meet either AC Milan or Manchester United in the final on 23 May in Athens.

FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007
FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007
'Gone were the ancients on the back of yellow cranes, and left was the desolate Yellow Crane Tower' was the poem by Cui Hao of Tang Dynasty that has made this symbolic building of Wuhan famous through the ages. However, even after the celebrities present at the Final Draw for the FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007 returned home from Wuhan, the city, one of the five venues for the finals, was not desolate. Instead, with less than five months to go before kickoff, the hosts are deep in preparation for the tournament. Excitement still highThe excitement ignited by the draw and the festivities surrounding the event have yet to fade away since the ceremony, which was staged in Wuhan's Guanggu Science and Technology Exhibition Centre. 'Cranes were dancing while the draw caught the eyes across the world' was the top headline on the Changjiang (Yangtze River) Daily the following day. 'The city displayed her historic culture through the Crane Dancing before the watching world as the draw ceremony was broadcast live across over 120 countries. With the support of the passionate fans, Wuhan will definitely not disappoint in September,' the article read.
The pride of staging a successful Final Draw was shared by reporters from the Wuhan Morning Post. In the newspaper's cover story, titled 'Wuhan delighted the world with surprise', it was claimed that the draw was one of the best in the FIFA Women's World Cup history. 'The 35-minute entertainment added further splendor to the anticipated draw.'

'The 35-minute entertainment added further splendor to the anticipated draw.'
China confidentDespite being grouped with Brazil, Denmark and New Zealand, the hosts were satisfied with the draw. "Generally it was a good draw for China," commented Sun Wen, the adidas Golden Ball and joint-adidas Golden Shoe winner at USA 1999. "I believe the team will fare well during the Women's World Cup as long as they can display what they normally do." "The opening game against Denmark on 12 September at Wuhan will possibly be the decider for China to qualify for the last eight from this group," continued Sun Wen. "Brazil will pose the biggest threat in the second game, while China can't afford any slips-up against New Zealand in the last game." With the fond memory of the draw still fresh, the hosts have intensified preparations and started to looking to the extravaganza of women's football, which will take place from 10-30 September. Zou Fei, a student from Central China Finance and Law University who worked as a volunteer with media department of the Local Organization Committee (LOC), could not hide her excitement after the draw. "It was a great experience to provide my part of contribution to such big an event," She told FIFA.com. "I am now looking to return to this job when the tournament begins in September and my next goal is to work as a volunteer at the football tournament for Beijing 2008." China's feelings were summed up by Xie Yalong, the Deputy President and General Secretary of the Chinese Football Association, who heads the LOC. "We thank Wuhan, FIFA and the LOC as it was their joint efforts that made the draw a successful one," he told FIFA.com." The event provided us with further organizational experience and we are confident that it will help us do a better job at the Women's World Cup."

没有冷门的世界杯
没有冷门的世界杯
竟然在我90分钟的注视下，英格兰最终2：0胜了特立尼达和多巴哥。这在一个看了98年的克罗地亚，02年的法国开场与意大利和韩国的比赛等等赌弱队（除了中国队）胜总是赢的超级冷门制造手来说，真是太太不可思议了！虽然我并不希望英格兰队输，但这届世界杯以来，我看的比赛从没一场冷门，真是太太让我失望了！
世界杯开赛以来，强队们的比赛总是像个强队。那一天，正当我们从隔音效果很好的老电影三楼下到二楼的时候，贝克汉姆一个弧线，就听到解说员一句“球进了！”。可怜的耳环，在诉了好一会的苦之后又陪我们在不放老电影却放世界杯的老电影看了半场球赛，之后不久还赶去上0点开始的早班，编辑她最不喜欢的体育运动——足球——的节目。那一场比赛，英格兰小胜。我还硬挺着说是因为我看了半场，英格兰才只凭借一个乌龙胜了。然后，我又说因为我看了半场的瑞典与特立尼达和多巴哥的比赛，所以和了。可是，我看了整场的荷兰与塞黑的比赛，荷兰还是胜了。
去年就有人预测，今年的超女不会再那么火。为什么？有世界杯了，谁还看超女！这个预测似乎又预测对了。记得joytutu有一句经典的话：男人容易花心，女人容易变心。花心的男人超女、世界杯都看；变心的女人就过了新鲜感便不看超女了。
今年夏天，似乎没有了悬念，似乎也就没有了意思。
竟然在我90分钟的注视下，英格兰最终2：0胜了特立尼达和多巴哥。这在一个看了98年的克罗地亚，02年的法国开场与意大利和韩国的比赛等等赌弱队（除了中国队）胜总是赢的超级冷门制造手来说，真是太太不可思议了！虽然我并不希望英格兰队输，但这届世界杯以来，我看的比赛从没一场冷门，真是太太让我失望了！
世界杯开赛以来，强队们的比赛总是像个强队。那一天，正当我们从隔音效果很好的老电影三楼下到二楼的时候，贝克汉姆一个弧线，就听到解说员一句“球进了！”。可怜的耳环，在诉了好一会的苦之后又陪我们在不放老电影却放世界杯的老电影看了半场球赛，之后不久还赶去上0点开始的早班，编辑她最不喜欢的体育运动——足球——的节目。那一场比赛，英格兰小胜。我还硬挺着说是因为我看了半场，英格兰才只凭借一个乌龙胜了。然后，我又说因为我看了半场的瑞典与特立尼达和多巴哥的比赛，所以和了。可是，我看了整场的荷兰与塞黑的比赛，荷兰还是胜了。
