About a month ago ( maybe more, I’m not keeping track) I was sitting at my boyfriends computer playing some word game on Shockwave.com. His roommate came in and asked what I was doing to which I simply replied “Playing some word game…”. He paused for a moment then asked “Why are girls always doing crossword puzzles and word game things?! I don’t understand!” Yes, Brian. You did say this. And I still remember it every time I do a crossword puzzle. Anyway, on this disgusting rainy, cloudy day in Maui (yes, even Maui has shit weather.) I decided now would be a great time to conquer another set of word puzzles. But now, I’m lost. I still have Brian nagging in the back or my brain “Whhhhyy“. While I do not know the exact answer to this question, I can say on behalf of myself, that it’s entertaining. Not just the brightly colored animation sequences or the cute little sounds the computer squeaks out every time you get an answer correct, but it’s my curiosity that gets me. I mean, there’s only so many words you use every day. How about when you’re given a chosen set of letters that don’t make sense when put together and are forced (by a little clock in the right hand corner) to make 185 words in 3 minutes? It’s amazing what you come up with just by guessing. So in my astonishment that Xenoglossy, Protologism, and Conkerer are actual words; Yes, I am thoroughly entertained. This…this is why I enjoy my crosswords, word searches, text twists, brain teasers, bookworm adventures and occasionally a Bejeweled game. I enjoy the ego boost of learning new words that absolutely mean nothing to anyone except for me. And possibly my dictionary. Which is another reason I like to play these games. It gives me a chance to use the dictionary I bought just because it was a psychedelic shade of pink.

I officially watch absolutely way too much TV. I have accepted this fact after I realized I was now interested in even the commercials. I am so in love with half the commercials on tv nowadays, that when I hear in the background they’re on, I drop everything and run to the television for 30 seconds. Between Southwest Airlines and Frito-Lay I seriously will be growth on my couch come July.
i cannot locate the Southwest commercial I was looking for. They have every other one minus the one I like. Figures.

Things that have been getting on my nerves today:
Fruit flies in my bathroom:
I cannot for the life of me figure out where the fuck these things are coming from. There aren’t too many of them, but I noticed while bleaching my counter earlier they were sticking to my mirror. I thought this was weird since I JUST smeared Windex all over it…how can they still be alive? Well, these motherfuckers are pissing me off! I set a red wine and dish soap trap (like good ol’ mom taught me) and they are still coming back! I have no food, no leaks or anything of the sorts in my bathroom, so I don’t understand why the fuck they keep flying around. Now I wouldn’t mind the few of them that I have, except for the fact that they are idiots. It’s true…they fly around all drunk off wine and Windex and they can’t figure out if they’re coming, or going. They bash into the mirror, kamikaze they’re way into my face, and hover over my light fixtures like nobody’s business. If they weren’t so stupid I’d almost give up and leave them alone. But no, it’s because they’re so brain dead that I feel the need to kill these suckers off before I become insane.
Geckos in my Air Conditioning:
Who in their right mind would expect that the air conditioning unit in my bedroom would be a perfect little home? Apparently, a Gecko would. After finally figuring out how to work the damn thing, my air conditioning went wacko again and I decided I would either chuck an axe to it, or figure out what the hell was wrong now. I’m not sure if this little guy was the actual problem, but as I approached the unit, I heard a faint Gecko call (which I’m used to and thought it came from outside) from the ceiling. So weird. I opened the unit (not easy since I’m short and it’s WAY up there) and “HELLO” Out scrambled a spotted yellow and black Gecko. All right, I love Geckos. But what the fuck is one doing in the air conditioning unit?! Not only scaring me half to death (these things are fast!) but also still croaking at me I got down from my chair (short) and looked up bewildered at why anyone would want to live in an A/C unit. Granted Maui is hot, but honestly do you want to live in an igloo. All that cold air blowing up your ass could not be comfortable. On top of that, it would dry out your skin like insanely. This little fella decided it was safe enough to go back into the unit once I left it alone for a few minutes. Well lo and behold as he tries to jump into the thing he falls flat on his back onto the ground. I would’ve helped him but I felt obligated to laugh at him instead. And because I’m part crazy, I told him stop being so dramatic and get back into his ice hut. And now he lives in my closet. Great.
CSI:Miami
I hate this show. I will admit, I’ve been drawn into it a couple of times, and I’m part obsessed with Jonathan Togo, but, honestly, this show is pure cheese. Which is quite a shame, really, since the original CSI is my all-time favorite show ever. But David Caruso does an excellent job at being a douche bag. I will applause that. I cannot stand the way he hovers over the other characters and makes the most uninteresting plots seem so much more worthless than they already are. Also, I find Calleigh (who the fuck know what her name is) very vindictive. She’s always out to get all her co-workers. Why would you want to worth with some bitch like that? No, thank you. She may be an ace in ballistics, but he people skills sure do need some work. And BOA VISTA?! First off, I don’t get her deal…or her name. But she…is way too trusting. Her co-workers fuck her over always. The show is never in order when I watch it on A&E, but I always seem to tune it right when it’s on. I cannot begin to explain the pain that shoots through my skull when the screaming theme song comes on. I have to turn the channel. The only good thing (person?) about the show is Jonathan. Except, his character is a sneaky son of a bitch. Sneaky…sneaky. But this show pisses me off on so many levels that even writing about it is getting me aggravated. The plots are stupid, the characters suck, and God, it’s Miami…yuck.
Wind:
I absolutely highly dislike this windy spell bullshit Hawaii is spitting out right now. Why the fuck are winds 30mph every fucking day and night. This past week has been nothing but hot, beautiful, sunny days with the added bonus of getting your top ripped off by the insane wind that is passing through. How obnoxious is it when you’re trying to sit on the beach and sand is literally whipping up and stabbing you in the legs, arms, and face. Seriously, it’s like tiny little needles poking at once and you can’t get away from them. They only poke harder! Oh, I am so distraught about this wind. You can’t even walk down the street without getting blown-over, or smacked in the face with a loose coffee lid. Plus, it makes sitting out side to eat impossible. You can’t put your napkin ANYWHERE because it’ll fly off the fucking table, unless you keep your fork (and knife) on top of it, but then, what am I supposed to eat with? My feet? Not to mention the greens from my salad flew on the girl’s table next to me, causing me to have to apologize on behalf of the wind because it’s so incompetent and keeps knocking over my glass of water. I don’t like wind.
On a lighter (and less complainy…?) note, I got a chance to watch that new show “The Exterminators” HAAAAAA. I absolutely fell in love with the main guy Billy. He is such a Hick, and so hilarious. I really think I just like him because his humor is so awkward, and he talks to the bugs and other animals all crazy. I think the whole nut-job thing matches much of my personality, which is why I’m so attracted to this odd show. This family of exterminators goes and deals with the strangest inconveniences of other people. Rats, raccoons, black widows, alligators. Everything, it’s really quite entertaining and I highly recommend watching it when you have absolutely nothing to do. Did I mention it takes place in Louisiana? Ha. Yeah, never staying anywhere there. Black widows?! No thank you. Pass.
