So, I've been banned from surfing the Internet from my PCs indefinitely. The firewall that Marcus bought yesterday is acting up (so if you can't get to my site, you'll know it froze up again). While he's waiting for his new one to get here, I'm more or less grounded. *sigh* I've never been a zombie before. That so totally sucked. I miss surfing in bed, though. I wish I had a Macbook.

My gums are quite sore today. I keep playing with them with my tongue and now I've gotten them all irritated. I've been taking the antibiotics, though, so hopefully no infections here! I gave in after reading the pamphlet that the dentist sent home that said he only prescribes antibiotics if he really feels the patient (that's me!) needed them. Better safe than sorry, I guess. I've had infected gums and they are no fun whatsoever.

I had thoughts of going back to pizza delivery today. It didn't take long to talk myself out of that.

I just got finished watching Little Miss Sunshine. I feel like I missed something. I read all these reviews talking about how good a movie it was and was really looking forward to seeing it. I somehow feel cheated. The whole thing just left me feeling sad.

Maybe it's because when I watch a movie that's supposed to be a comedy, I want to laugh and feel good. This movie just mirrored how sad and pathetic most dysfunctional families are. There really was no happy ending.

EDIT: OK, Marcus informed me that it was not supposed to be a comedy. My mistake. It's still classified as comedy over at IMDb, but there was definitely nothing comical about that.

Well, I guess I didn't want to go badly enough or something. I found out on the radio at work first thing this morning that I did not win tickets for this weekend's Police show. Boooooooo!

Gah, how did it get to be 9 pm Sunday already?

Of course, it didn't help that I actually slept until noon today! I think I went to bed around 11 pm last night and only got up for an hour this morning to take medicine and check the bounced email situation. Man, my body was apparently exhausted. Then we spent a good part of the day running errands since Marcus had to get a new firewall to keep me from doing what I did yesterday. The good news is I haven't had any bounced back emails in hours.

My face hurts today, but at least it's the pain of healing. It didn't help that I went to put a shirt on this morning and managed to punch myself right in the jaw. Only I could pull that off.

I (or those signed up under me) need to win some more iTunes certificates on either Winzy or Blingo. I'm getting dangerously low on credits, people!

I need to order something on Amazon and it only costs $10. I want to get the free shipping for orders over $25, but can't seem to find anything I really want around $15. Everything I want costs way more than that and I can't spend the money right now or it's preorder only and wouldn't work for this order. Hmph.

I've been updating my Stephen King missing books list. I found a cute little used bookstore on Broadway a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have my missing books list handy to see if any that they had were on my list. There is also a good one over at 80th and Wadsworth, but I don't get up that way often anymore. I don't mind splurging $3 here and there for used paperbacks, y'know? It's about time I did some pleasure reading and got caught up. I don't think I've read a Stephen King novel since 2002. I'm waaaay behind.

I somehow managed to miss an email from one of my domain hosts that one of my domains was expiring this first week in June. I had the same problem last year and let it lapse. I had intended to move it to my main registrar so that this didn't happen this year and almost forgot. Good thing I decided to finally clean out my mailbox. Those 1000+ unread messages in there were really annoying. I hope it gets transferred before it expires.

One last reminder to send out Police ticket winning vibes. I'm going to win some!

I downloaded a neat little extension for Firefox today that colors your tabs. I've read that other people use these and like them, but I wasn't thrilled before. I'm ready to give them a second chance, though. We'll see.

On that note, I guess I'd better close up here and head to bed.

The local radio station 99.5 The Mountain is giving away Police tickets. They're at the Pepsi Center June 9 & 10 (next weekend) and I really, really, really, really, really want to go. Did I mention that I really want to go? LOL Anyway, I need the help of everyone reading my blog. Send good ticket winning vibes my way. All I had to do was fit out on their web form the three Police songs I heard and the times I heard them today. I'm not sure how many sets of tickets are being given away, though. The grand prize is two tickets in the station's Mountain Suite. I'd be all over that! So, help a girl out and help me win those tickets! Now I just need someone to go with me. Dave? Nina? Laura? Any police fans close by that can go at short notice?
