Things That Fascinate Me...

Really it's only one thing: Serial Killers. Well, that's not the only thing that fascinates me, but it's what I'm referring to today. I love books about serial killers, movies about serial killers, and true crime shows. Well, and not true crime shows. Like Dexter. Now that 's a good show. But I'll save that for another day.

All this to say, I just read an article about serial killers that I found on Digg. You can read it here:

5 Horrific Serial Killers (Who Are Free Right Now)


Creeeeeeepy. Especially the video associated with the fifth serial killer. Chills....

Sick Day...

I hate being sick. I hate it. I'm really bad at it. I usually don't acknowledge it and go about my business. I knew I must have been really sick this week because I didn't mind laying in bed all day. It was the only thing that made me feel not sick. I mean, I like to relax like the rest of you but it usually takes me being really sick for me to actually relax.

Yes. I'm aware that's probably not a good thing, but I'm a busy lady as I'm sure all of you are.

I found some things this week that made me feel better. The main was The Tyra Banks Show.

You're thinking, "Molly, you're crazy."

I don't actually like the Tyra Banks show. I really can't stand Tyra Banks. But I love the train wreck that is Tyra Banks and the Tyra Banks show. She's crazy. I couldn't really find any examples so I will share one from an episode this Tuesday afternoon.

The entire show was about HateHers: girls who hate on other girls. The author of a book about this topic and Tyra went on and on about how they would never let their girlfriend leave the house with a weave line followed by a close-up of the only two African-American women in the audience, both with weaves. Now, I know that wasn't Tyra's decision but it was associated with her. And that makes it a Tyra thing. I remember one episode of her show where a young teenage woman was upset because she had become a mother at 16 and now it was "ruining her life." She couldn't do the normal things girls her age did. I thought, "Oh, a show about teenage mothers, okay." No, no. Tyra interrupted this girl to say, "Let's stay on topic. Tell me more about the crying." That's right. The whole show was about people who cry.

Okay Tyra.

Bottom line: if you love train wrecks watch the Tyra Banks show.

Trying New Things

I joined a new gym recently (take that Bally's). Yesterday I took advantage of my free personal training session that came along with my membership. My trainer introduced me to something that I hope to be amazing. It's called a Bosu Ball:



Isn't it cute? She explained to me, while showing off her six pack, that she uses this strange looking thing regularly. When she had her child, she still had a four pack afterwards. She only lost two pack....from birthing a baby. Now, I'm not birthing any babies anytime soon, but if it's that good I'm trying it out.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Caution: Gross

Overheard in the ladies room at work:

"He's going crazy..."

::poop and gas explosion::

"That's not good..."

::poop and gass explosion::

::silence::

I shared, because she shared. Apparently he's going crazy...

A Few Of My Favorite Things...

Since I can't load my own pictures onto my blog right now, and I personally need pictures to entertain me while reading a blog, I've decided to do some posts over the next week or two that highlight some of my favorite things (that I can find pictures of on the internet).

Today's feature:

My Cuisinart Grind and Brew



It's great. I bought it for half off at Linens N Things right before they closed their doors forever. Well, I should say Santa bought it for half price at Linens N Things. Good for Santa.

It's really nice to have a cup of coffee waiting for me when I wake up in the morning. And not just any cup of coffee. A fresh cup, straight from the beans!!! Grinding your coffee right before brewing is essential to a good cup of coffee. Yes, that's my ex-Barista talking.

I will say one thing though. If you ever have a cup coffee straight out of bed, it might cause you te become a crazy muttering mess.

Take for example this story of my "friend" who recently had a cup of coffee first thing in the morning.

This "friend" sipped some coffee and begin talking to herself. Now that's not really odd, that's a normal thing this "friend" does. Mainly so this "friend" can stay focused and not lay on the couch for an hour watching the news and end up late for work. The strange part started was when the friend bundled up to brave the cold, she decided that when wrapped in a puffy scarf, down coat, and puffy hat, she looked like a wrestler. She began to gather her things for work pretending to be a wrestler and talked in a British accent. Apparently this "friend" was a dainty British wrestler. She was having a great time. Maybe I've told you too much and you'll think my poor "friend" is crazy, but just know that she had a great time getting ready for work this particular morning and it was all thanks to her dear sweet cup of coffee.

Alright alright....

I know. I haven't posted in awhile. It's become increasingly difficult since I no longer have internet access at home and work is insanely busy. SOOOOOOOOOO I'm going to try and stay on top of it from now on.

That's what I keep telling myself. I and I want to stay true to myself or something, right?

I'm going to be honest for a moment and say that I haven't exactly been super excited about much lately. Mainly because I work so hard at a job I hate for an hourly wage, 40 hours a week, but no benefits since I'm not full time and can't be full time, and I don't even know how I ended up doing what I do anyway because I'm not techincally qualified for any of it. I'm basically taken advantage of for 40 hours a week. Believe me, I'm fully aware that I have the power to change the situation. The problem is the only change I can make...quitting...isn't an option since I need a some-what steady income AND flexibility when it comes to time off for auditions and travel. Both of those things I do have at my current job, SO I'm stuck.

It's a constant battle for me to get through the day and make it home. I know a lot of people don't like their jobs, but I'm hitting a wall. Especially with some certain "situations" that I work with (ask me in person, I can't blog about it).

My saviour most days is Netflix. I watch so many things online. Right now, as I type this, I'm watching Gone Baby Gone. It's so good. I work for a call center so I wear what looks like a headset, but it is really a pair of earphones. It's nice. I should go ahead and say a giant thank you to Netflix for putting movies and TV online. I should also say thank you to the office manager who hasn't gotten onto me for downloading programs onto my work computer. He and I are buds. So you know...he's go my back.

THANKS GUYS :)
