My Busy Week #2

Cocaine Princess here.

For a second straight consecutive week it's been another bustling week.

MONDAY

As some of you know I have a goldfish known as Nemo. A while back I bought a second goldfish. When I couldn't think of a name a lovely friend suggested the name Marlin. Nemo did not take the new addition very well. In fact he will distance himself from Marlin. When Marlin approaches him Nemo swims away and prefers to stay on the other side of the bowl. That same lovely person suggested I buy another goldfish so on Monday I finally got around to doing it. I made a trip to the mall and went goldfish shopping and bought a third fish. I actually went shoe shopping first and bought a green pair of stiletto sandals. To get to the pet store I needed to pass the shoe store, believe me there's no alternative path. It's one of those unavoidable little things in life. Anyways, I went home and gently poured fish #3, who goes by the name of Dory (keeping with the Finding Nemo theme) into her new abode. Now Marlin refuses to go near Dory. I have 3 goldfish living in one place who don't get along. Do I need to confer with a Fish Whisperer?

TUESDAY

I have developed a dangerous addiction to Peek Freans Strawberry Fruit Cream Cookies. They are simply sweet-smelling and taste delicious; 2 shortbread cookies and sandwiched in between is vanilla creme and strawberry jam. From time to time I wake up in the middle of the night to eat one. I told my sister to hide the bag because this is one dependency that has complete power over me. Tuesday afternoon I received really good news in the mail and decided to celebrate by wanting to consume a cookie. I busted open the pantry in search of them. They weren't there. Next I raided the cupboards. JACKPOT!! 'A' had hidden them in one of the pots. Perfect! The one spot she knew I'd never look. I ate 2 of them.

WEDNESDAY

I went to my hair stylist to have my bangs trimmed.

THURSDAY

Back in March we bought a brand new spanking BBQ. It's been sitting on the patio ever since. Yesterday we finally got around to piecing it together. When I say "we" I really mean my sister. I sat to one side drinking a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper while watching her assemble it. Well.... I don’t want to brag but I did provide assistance. I opened the box with a pair of box cutters. I made sure 'A' was well aware of my achievement. 'Are you not proud of me?' I asked sitting back down. 'Mmm-hmm, I'm beaming with pride,' she replied. 'You may want to lye down after all that hard work.' 'That's the plan,' I replied back.

FRIDAY (Morning)

Just a few hours ago I finished watching a flick. I grabbed "The Strangers" from the 'still to watch pile.' It stars Liv Tyler as Kristen and Scott Speedman as James. It's written and directed by Brian Bertino.

Prior to watching it I wanted to do a little reading up on it. The movie was listed under the category of psychological thriller. The plot, a couple is terrorized by three intruders. The film is inspired by true events. On one website I read it is loosely based on the 1981 Keddie Murders in California. Another website said the movie is based on director Brian Bertino experiences as a young boy while another claimed Bertino ripped off the film "Ils" (Them) (2006) starring Olivia Bonamy and Michael Cohen and the 1997 Austrain horror film "Funny Games." Whichever one is actual "The Strangers" is one Oh-My-God-Creepy-And-Disturbing-Film.

Here's one scene.

Kristen and her boyfriend James are about to make mad love on the dining room table. There is a knock on the door. Genius boyfriend puts a halt to the love making and decides to see who it is. And did I mention it's 4 in the morning. (I ask you what the hell kind of imbecile answers the door at 4 friggin' am?!) He opens the door and there is a strange woman asking for someone named Tamara. Her face cannot be seen because she has loosened the porch light bulb. James informs her she has the wrong house so she leaves. A couple of scenes later Kristen looks out the window and the strange woman is standing there in the garden gazing at her.

This definitely was something I never should have watched in the wee hours of the night all by myself. (I wasn't entirely by myself. My three aquatic buddies were nearby) I tried hitting the stop button on the remote but I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't wait til broad daylight to see the ending.

My loyal and dear readers it's finally Friday.

After a long and demanding week of working I am glad the end of the week is here.

Whatever your plans are have a precious weekend.-x
