Marie Antoinette

I just happened upon this movie Marie Antoinette. Although the dialogue is lacking, the screenplay is wonderful. 

Cockroaches!

I had a meeting this morning with my Social Studies cohort and before I went in, I went to the ladies room. I went into the stall and to my surprise was a cockroach on the wall next to me. It fluttered it's wings at me as if it was it's way of bidding me "good morning." I jumped out of my skin and screamed. The girls in the other stalls inquired and I told them with much disgust. Then as I was washing my hands and explaining to the girl what had happened, she spotted another roach by my foot!! I ran out of the bathroom and just thinking about it gives me the chills. 

Documentary

I actually watched some TV tonight. Since I've been home, I've been putting my nose to the grind with all the makeup work and planning. I saw a wonderful program on "American Masters" tonight about the Warner Bros. I think it's a 3 night documentary about the evolution of the Warner Bros. movies. 

Anyways, Las Vegas was intense. I didn't sleep and when I did it was only for a short bit. I lost some money but eh, it's Vegas. I saw Mystere, my favorite of all 2 Cirque du Soleil shows that I've seen. It was so dry and hot there it was outrageous. And I realized that since we had room service last year that I was parched for the most part. Plus in Las Vegas there isn't a water fountain to be found. They will use it for displaying the water show in front of the Bellagio or a fountain portraying Julius Caesar in Caesar's Palace, but no drinking fountain anywhere. It's the only place where they can charge $3 for water without a person thinking that's crazy! What you do for water. 

Vegas!!

I leave for Vegas in a couple of hours and I'm still packing and last minute homework assignments. I really don't want to do it when I get back so I'm trying to do it NOW. I'll be staying with Kim, a long friend of mine from Camp. Her mom gets comps and she gives the free room to Kimmy. We're staying at El Cortez is downtown, dirty Vegas. Thats where all the wedding Chapels are. Fun Fun. Hopefully I'll get to eat at In-N-Out Burger. From my sister's and neighbor's experience, they love it. Good things. Mazel tov. 

Thanks Diddy!

I'm so thankful for Diddy. Really. I am. Because without him I couldn't relate to my kids what an entrepreneur is in a market economy. He has his on label, restaurant, clothing line, and eat his cake too. Thanks Diddy for keeping it real in the market econ.

Hair cut

Sometimes I have the urge to just pick up some scissors and give myself a haircut.

Crickets everywhere!

Now that it's just been me in the house for the last 36 hours, the insects are taking the plunge and coming out of hiding. Last night there was a cricket chirping under my bed. I had to chase him out literally. Then tonight there was a cave cricket in the bathroom...and you know what? They always seem to come out of the woodwork when your doing your business. They get ya when you're down and they know you can't do anything at that moment. So I reached for the bottle of X-14 (closest thing to me) and sprayed the bastard for scaring me. I ran out while he jumped into a crevasse. I think he's dead, I sprayed so much of the cleaner that I can smell it in my room. If he isn't then...I got something for his ass.
