Tv

Sanka Coffie: I am feeling very Olympic today, how about you?

We’ve got to stop watching so much olympics. We’re dreaming about the olympics! (I am feeling much better, thank you for your prayers)

NBC, and CNBC have been giving us a ton of coverage, I’m fairly impressed. If I stayed up until all hours, I could watch curling. As it is, I get my olympic news from cbc.ca, which I’m pretty happy with. Now, if they would just stop talking about Bode Miller every 10 seconds!, I’d be happy. 🙂

For all the advice Wilson gives House, that’s the thing he decides to do?!? Oooh, what a slippery slope you are going down my friend.

Skating With Celebrities. I am horrified to read all over the internet that Lloyd Eisler left his wife for Kristy Swanson! What? Sigh. I’ll say it again, doesn’t anyone view marriage as sacred? But I called it, that it would go down to Kristy & Lloyd vs. Jillian & John.

Since I opened with a quote from Cool Runnings, I may as well close with a quote from it too.

Irv: Our Father, who art in Calgary, Bobsled be thy name. Thy kingdom come, gold medals won, on Earth as it is in Turn Seven. With Liberty and Justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie. Amen.

We’re all a little off this morning, Elijah kept us up from 2:30am-5:00am. He just wanted to be held, and only by mom, and only in an upright position. Poor Geoff has to work, whereas Elijah and I will be able to nap. On the plus side (there’s a silver lining in everything), Elijah didn’t throw up yesterday. Yay!

Someone is planning a trip to Aurora for March, I’ll post more when it gets solidified. It almost seemed like husbands were against visiting Colorado for whatever reason. At least one wife is still planning on coming in the fall, with or without hubby.

No plans for the weekend. The usual chores, and if Elijah is still really ill, he & I will stay home and Geoff will greet at church by himself.

Next week is our anniversary, 9 years. Whoo! No plans. 🙂 I told Geoff I can wait on celebrating until we get to CA. I mean out there, we can easily get a babysitter and we could go out to dinner, or something. It’s all up in the air. Who says you have to celebrate on the day of? One thing that is certain is that I get flowers, it’s our one tradition.

Sunday is Athena’s baby shower, I hope she has a good time. It should be all about her, because once the baby comes, you fade into the background. But you get to beam when people tell you how beautiful your baby is.

I’ll close with a quote from Apollo 13.

Marilyn Lovell: Blanche, Blanche, these nice young men are going to watch the television with you. This is Neil Armstrong, and this is Buzz… Aldrin.
Neil Armstrong: Hi.
Blanche Lovell: Are you boys in the space program too?

Tv

House was excellent this week, and I wasn’t all shocked by the outcome. I could get into the whole theme of fidelity and morality, but I don’t know if I want to. Anyways, I just thought Robert Sean Leonard performance was good in the episode. I like his character, I like all the characters. It’s funny that we’re nearly done watching season one, and then when we catch a new episode it feels like we are getting a rounder view of the characters.

Skating With Celebrities booted off Dave Coulier and Nancy Kerrigan this week. Not a shock, as they had the weakest performance. But they were entertaining. Lloyd Eisler & Kirsty Swanson were fantastic this week, and that was a bit of a surprise. I loved their skate this week. I think it will come down to them and Jillian Barbarie & John Zimmerman.

Haven’t had the chance to watch this week’s episodes of Scrubs, been plowing through the House DVD. I do plan to re-watch all of Scrubs season one when it arrives this week. They announced Scrubs season three is coming out on DVD in May, and it’s already on my wishlist.

I’ll close with a quote from House, because seriously, it’s one of the best written shows on tv right now.

Dr. Gregory House: *Chase* killed that woman, and now Foreman’s in charge?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Yeah, we have a pecking order here; if Cameron kills somebody, Chase takes over. There’s a flow chart in the lobby.

Out Of Sorts

This post is just to get out the thoughts that cloud my head.

I had a dream last night about an old flame. We had dinner at his house with his family. No one had aged, his youngest sister looked the way I remember her, his other sister still stared at me with a hatred, and his parents were still indifferent to each other. The house was not his house, it was some other house.

This is pretty much the extent of the dream. There weren’t many words said by anyone, it was more like there were feelings felt. Awkwardness and comfort at the same time. I had a song stuck in my head all night, so it was kind of like the soundtrack. It’s my new favorite song, I walk around with it in my head all the time, I’m always singing it.

Over My Head (Cable Car) – The Fray

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that’s how it’s got to be
It’s coming down to nothing more than apathy
I’d rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who’s still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I’m in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She’s on your mind

Let’s rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that’s disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I’m in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She’s on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I’m becoming the part that don’t last
I’m losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won’t let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I’m in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She’s on your mind

I always feel weird the day after a dream about someone in my past. It’s like I forget the truth about the past, and I gloss over the negative. I feel like things were left unresolved, but that isn’t true. Most of my past relationships (be romantic or friendship) ended clearly. But even now, I can’t recalled how it all ended. And it’s a door I know God doesn’t want me to open. I know no good would come of speaking to this person. It’s all very weird, and I’ll probably feel odd all day.

I think I know what brought on the dream, it was a movie I caught on tv yesterday. Something about the main character reminded me of him.

I also had a dream that I was planning a trip with a woman from my Mom To Mom group. I think we were going to go somewhere on a boat. Her husband wasn’t thrilled with this idea, but she didn’t care. It’s funny because I would never take a trip with her. I probably wouldn’t hang out with her. She’s nice enough, but there are few people I like to take trips with. So she would not make the cut.

Speaking of trips, Chad & Khara made mention of a road trip they wanted to do, so we’ll have to look into it. It’s funny to meet someone else who wants to visit the same place you do. Both Khara & I are interested in going to Nederland for Frozen Dead Guy Days. Since it’s next month we need to solidify plans if that’s what we’ll do.

Elijah slept 16 hours last night. Crazy huh? Hey, I told him he needed his rest, and thankfully his body agreed with me.

I’ll close with a quote from She’s The One.

Mickey Fitzpatrick: Why are you getting so upset Dad? You don’t even believe in God.
Mr. Fitzpatrick: That doesn’t mean I’m going to stop being a good Catholic.
